MGM MIRAGE Reports Second Quarter Financial Results


Significant Capital Raise Improves Financial Position;
Operating Trends Stabilize in Second Quarter


LAS VEGAS, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2009. The Company reported a second quarter diluted loss per share of $0.60 compared to income per share of $0.40 in the prior year second quarter. The current year result was impacted by non-cash impairment charges of $188 million, or $0.34 per diluted share net of tax, primarily related to the Company's investment in a convertible note. The Company also recorded losses on the retirement of long-term debt of $58 million primarily related to the redemption of senior debentures required to permit the Company's recent secured note issuances - an impact of $0.11 per diluted share net of tax.


The following key results for the quarter are presented on a "same store" basis excluding the results of TI in the prior year as the Company completed the sale of TI in March 2009:


   --  Net revenue decreased 17% to $1.5 billion;
   --  Las Vegas Strip REVPAR(1) decreased 31%;
   --  Casino revenue decreased 12%, mainly as a result of lower table games
       volume at the Company's Las Vegas Strip resorts;

   --  Property EBITDA(2) was $357 million, a 34% decrease from the 2008 second
       quarter; excluding impairment charges, property transactions, and
       preopening expenses, Property EBITDA was $379 million, or down 29% on a
       comparable basis.

In Frankfurt scheint sich heute gar kein Volumen aufzubauen. Bin gespannt wann der deutsche Kurs nachzieht. 7,30 sollten ja locker drin sein.

Boyd Gaming Reports Second Quarter Results



LAS VEGAS, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.


(Logo: www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030219/BOYDLOGO)


For the quarter, we reported net income of $12.8 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to net income of $21.7 million, or $0.25 per share, in the same period last year. Certain pre-tax items resulted in a net increase in income of $3.6 million ($2.3 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per share) during the second quarter 2009. By comparison, the second quarter 2008 included certain pre-tax items that had a net effect of reducing income by $7.6 million ($4.8 million, net of tax, or $0.05 per share). Pre-tax items in the second quarter 2009 and 2008 are listed in a table at the end of this press release.


Adjusted Earnings(1) for the second quarter 2009 were $10.4 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $26.4 million, or $0.30 per share, for the same period in 2008.


Net revenues were $423.0 million for the second quarter 2009, compared to $460.8 million for the same quarter in 2008, a decrease of 8.2%. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $105.6 million for the quarter, a decrease of 11.7% from $119.6 million in the prior year.


Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd Gaming, commented on the quarter, "While business conditions remained difficult in each of our regions, our results were in line with our expectations. The uncertainty which exists in the economy today continues to negatively impact consumer spending. Despite this, we believe the precipitous declines that began in the second half of 2008 are over, as we continue to see stabilization in our business. We remain confident in the resilience of our business model and our ability to manage the Company through these challenging times."


Smith added, "The recent bankruptcy filing by Station Casinos highlights the difficulties this recession has created for some businesses. Having said that, we remain confident in the long-term viability of the Las Vegas market, and we continue to be interested in acquiring some or all of Station's assets."

Year-To-Date Results

We reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share. By comparison, we reported a loss of $10.9 million, or $0.12 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The net losses were due in part to non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges related to Dania Jai-Alai of $28.4 million and $84.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.


Adjusted Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $23.4 million, or $0.27 per share, as compared to $63.4 million, or $0.72 per share for the six-month period in 2008.


Net revenues were $857.8 million and $931.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $215.2 million for the current six-month period. By comparison, total Adjusted EBITDA for the 2008 period was $247.3 million.


Key Operations Review


Las Vegas Locals

In our Las Vegas Locals segment, second quarter 2009 net revenues were $166.1 million versus $197.9 million for the second quarter 2008. Second quarter 2009 Adjusted EBITDA was $43.9 million, a 29.7% decrease from the $62.4 million in the same quarter 2008. Reduced consumer spending and continued pressure on room rates impacted results.


Downtown

Our Downtown Las Vegas properties generated net revenues of $57.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $11.8 million for the second quarter 2009, versus $63.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter 2008. Improved property operating margins, as well as lower fuel costs at our Hawaiian charter operations, contributed to increased Adjusted EBITDA in the region.


Midwest and South

In our Midwest and South region, we recorded $199.2 million in net revenues for the second quarter 2009, compared to $199.9 million for the same period in 2008. Adjusted EBITDA for the current period was $44.3 million, a decrease of 2.4% from the $45.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2008. The consistent results were principally due to higher than normal operating costs associated with integrating our new hotel at Blue Chip, offset by strength at our Delta Downs and Par-A-Dice properties.


Borgata

Net revenues for Borgata were $191.5 million for the second quarter 2009, compared to $205.1 million recorded in the same quarter in 2008. Despite the decline in net revenue, operating income for the second quarter 2009 increased to $27.3 million, versus $22.3 million for the second quarter 2008. Adjusted EBITDA also increased to $47.7 million, up from $45.2 million for the second quarter 2008. While Borgata's net revenues were adversely impacted by both the recession and an increasingly competitive regional environment, cost-control measures implemented over the last year drove increases in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the property continued to outperform the Atlantic City market, boosting its leading market share by more than two percentage points versus the year-ago quarter.


Paul Chakmak, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Boyd Gaming, said, "Although conditions in the Las Vegas Locals market remained challenged, the rate of decline was consistent with the first quarter, and margins were stable. In our Midwest and South region, innovative marketing efforts and more efficient operations contributed to consistent results compared to the same period last year. And in Downtown Las Vegas and Atlantic City, cost-containment measures helped us post EBITDA growth in declining markets. These results demonstrate the success of the more efficient business model we've created while maintaining the exceptional service our customers have come to expect from Boyd Gaming."

secfilings.nasdaq.com/...DQ&RcvdDate=8%2F7%2F2009&pdf=

ist im Quartalsbericht nichts zu finden.

die Aktie steigt weiter. War wohl keine so gute Idee die Gewinne mit zu nehmen.

Was Du hast, das hast Du!
Bin auch mit einem Teil ausgestiegen.
Entweder sie fällt wieder oder man muß eben teurer einsteigen,
dann beginnt eben ein neues Spiel

wie beurteilst du die Zahlen von LVS ?

habe heute morgen über frankfurt verkauft und bin sehr zufrieden. war eines der besten invests in diesem jahr. bin bei 8,68 € raus. war nur ein paar wochen drinne. ich halte LVS für sehr volatil und rechne daher mit einem günstigeren kursmoment in zukunft.

lg

ich habe in diesem Jahr auch bereits mehrfach an LVS verdient. Lohnt sich immer wieder nach einem Rücksetzer einzusteigen und dann wieder Gewinne mit zu nehmen. Bin davon überzeugt das wir spätestens zum Jahresende
wenn Singapore eröffnet stark steigen werden.
