Segment Performance

City of Dreams reported strong results, with total operating revenue of $672.6 million and adjusted EBITDA increasing to $206.9 million from $162.8 million.

Studio City posted a modest revenue increase to $375.3 million from $364.7 million, with adjusted EBITDA improving to $104.7 million from $92.8 million, supported by stronger mass market play.

Altira Macau saw revenues decline to $25.6 million from $30.5 million, though adjusted EBITDA losses narrowed to $0.7 million from $1.1 million. Both mass table drop and gaming machine handle declined, reflecting continued softness in the segment.

Mocha and Other reported total revenues of $28.6 million, down from $30.6 million a year earlier, with adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million versus $6.9 million. The segment was affected by the closure of Grand Dragon Casino and one Mocha Club, part of the company’s strategic development of gaming assets.

City of Dreams Manila recorded operating revenues of $110.7 million, down from $118.9 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $41.3 million versus $45.9 million, as softer gaming machine and non-gaming operations weighed on results.

City of Dreams Mediterranean and Other delivered a strong performance, with revenues up 33% to $85.8 million and adjusted EBITDA rising to $23.2 million from $15.1 million.
