Adjusted EPS of $0.59 beat the $0.57 consensus by 3.78%, but net revenue of $2.86 billion missed the $2.89 billion estimate by 0.96% and declined 3.3% from a year ago. The primary culprit was Macao, where total segment revenue slipped to $1.71 billion from $1.81 billion, with the Venetian Macao hit hardest by a rolling chip win percentage of just 2.18% compared to 6.71% a year prior. Marina Bay Sands provided a meaningful offset, holding steady with $1.16 billion in revenue and expanding its EBITDA margin to 52.0%. The company also repurchased $450 million in common stock and raised its buyback authorization to $2.00 billion. LVS separately withdrew its bid for a New York casino license, citing concerns over potential online gambling legalization. Management remains focused on long-term Asia growth as capital investment programs in both Macao and Singapore advance.

Key Takeaways

  • Marina Bay Sands delivered outstanding financial and operating performance with 52.0% EBITDA margin
  • Low hold on Rolling Play in Macao negatively impacted Adjusted Property EBITDA by $10 million
  • Macao market growth softened in the current environment
  • The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao saw strong revenue growth driven by increased Rolling Chip volume
  • Effective income tax rate increased to 13.4% from 2.8% driven by 17% statutory rate on Singapore operations
  • Marina Bay Sands average daily room rate increased to $925 from $713 year-over-year
