Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call balanced positive operational and financial strengths—notably strong liquidity ($2.8B available), meaningful regional EBITDA growth (Manila +9% YoY, Cyprus +60% YoY), property enhancements (REM soft open, new gaming areas) and disciplined capital actions ( ~$134M share buybacks and RCF upsize)—against pronounced near-term challenges, including a significant VIP win-rate decline (3.9% to 2.7%, ~$9M EBITDA headwind), lower visitation/hold pressure, World Cup-related substitution to sports betting, and construction disruption at City of Dreams. Management emphasized cost discipline and flexibility, a roadmap for ramping new assets, and intent to recommence dividends in 2027. Overall, the positives across liquidity, regional growth and strategic investments outweigh the near-term operational headwinds.
Company Guidance
Management provided detailed near-term operating and balance-sheet guidance: group Q2 adjusted property EBITDA was ~$304M (~$312M adjusted for VIP hold) with an adverse COD VIP win‑rate decline from 3.9% in Q2‑2025 to 2.7% in Q2‑2026 that lowered EBITDA by ~ $9M; Macau total daily OpEx remains about $3.3–3.4M/day (inclusive of House of Dancing Water). For Q3‑2026 they expect depreciation & amortization of $140–145M, corporate expense of $20–25M and consolidated net interest expense of $115–120M (including ~ $6M finance‑liability interest and ~ $5M finance‑lease interest). Liquidity and capital items: available liquidity of ~ $2.8B, consolidated cash on hand of ~ $1.0B (≈ $492M excluding Studio City/Philippines/Cyprus/Sri Lanka), an upsized RCF increased by ~ $821M to $2.8B with maturity extended to June 2031, Studio City bond/redemption activity leaving $335M of 2028 notes outstanding, YTD ADS repurchases of ~25M shares for ~$134M (22.4M for ~$121M Apr 1–Aug 12), and management expects to recommence dividends in 2027; CapEx is ~$225M for the remainder of 2026 and ~$275–300M for 2027.
Group Adjusted Property EBITDA
Group-wide adjusted property EBITDA for Q2 2026 was approximately $304 million (approximately $312 million adjusted for VIP hold), indicating solid operating earnings despite near-term headwinds.
Macau OpEx Discipline
Total daily OpEx in Macau remained steady at approximately $3.4 million per day in Q2 2026 (inclusive of House of Dancing Water), and management expects similar levels (~$3.3M–$3.4M/day) while incorporating REM and other activities.
Strong Liquidity and Revolving Credit Facility Upsize
Available liquidity was approximately $2.8 billion with consolidated cash on hand of approximately $1.0 billion at quarter-end. The RCF maturity was extended from April 2027 to June 2031 and the facility was increased by approximately $821 million to a total size of $2.8 billion, improving near-term financial flexibility.
Regional Property EBITDA Growth
City of Dreams Manila delivered property EBITDA of $31 million in Q2 2026, representing 9% year-over-year growth; City of Dreams Mediterranean (Cyprus) and satellite casinos saw property EBITDA rise 60% year-over-year; Sri Lanka operations recorded positive EBITDA of $3.5 million in Q2 2026 as the ramp continues.
REM Opening and Property Enhancements
REM soft-opened with the grand opening scheduled after Golden Week in October; management expects REM to be a highly differentiated non-gaming product for City of Dreams. Additional enhancements include a new 18-table gaming area opened end of July and an ongoing retail revamp to create a curated luxury loop.
Share Repurchases and Capital Allocation
From April 1 to August 12, 2026, approximately 22.4 million ADSs were repurchased for ~$121 million; total repurchases in 2026 were ~25 million ADSs for ~$134 million. Management expects to recommence dividends in 2027 and emphasized disciplined capital allocation.
Near-Term Non-Operating Guidance and CapEx Visibility
Guidance provided for Q3 2026 non-operating items: depreciation & amortization ~$140M–$145M, corporate expense ~$20M–$25M, and consolidated net interest expense ~$115M–$120M. Remaining 2026 CapEx was ~$225 million with 2027 CapEx expected in the ~$275M–$300M range.
