Did MGM Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
MGM Resorts International delivered a decisive earnings beat in the first quarter of 2025, posting adjusted EPS of $0.69 against a consensus estimate of $0.46, a 51.45% positive surprise, even as revenue came in essentially flat against expectations at $4.28 billion. The top line slipped 2.4% year over year, a decline management attributed squarely to the difficult comparison created by last year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas, which had meaningfully inflated the prior-year period. Despite that headwind, the Las Vegas Strip segment achieved record first-quarter occupancy of 94% and record slot win of $545 million, up 7% year over year, underscoring the resilience of underlying demand. A notable strategic milestone came from BetMGM, which turned to positive EBITDA for the first time, with MGM's share of operating losses narrowing to $15.20 million from $32.60 million. The company also authorized a new $2 billion share repurchase program, and CEO Bill Hornbuckle, whose contract was recently extended through 2028, said April is on track to be a record hotel month for Las Vegas Strip properties.
