Mohegan Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Operating Results

Published

on

 

Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority has announced the operating results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022.

“Our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $101.1 million continues our trend of strong performance. Our diversification strategy and continued focus on profitability have enabled Mohegan to offset some of the inflationary and labor pressures and achieve these strong results,” Raymond Pineault, Chief Executive Officer of Mohegan, said.

“Our Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.9% was 605 basis points favorable compared with our pre-COVID-19 first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 62 basis points favorable compared with the prior-year period,” Carol Anderson, Chief Financial Officer of Mohegan, said.

The growth in net revenues compared with the prior-year period was primarily driven by a full period of operations and a return to relatively normal operating conditions at the Niagara Resorts, combined with the continued growth in online casino gaming and sports wagering operations in Connecticut.

Net revenues decreased $12.2 million compared with the prior-year period due to declines in both slot and table games revenues, reflecting lower overall volumes as the prior-year benefited from Mohegan Sun’s 25th anniversary celebration. Results were also impacted by unfavorable slot and table hold and weather in the current-year period. Adjusted EBITDA of $67.8 million was 13.3% unfavorable compared with the prior-year period, due to lower volumes and increased labor and other operating expenses in the current-year period. The Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.3% was 150 basis points favorable compared with pre-COVID-19 first quarter of fiscal 2020, but 277 basis points unfavorable compared with the prior-year period.

Net revenues decreased $4.4 million compared with the prior-year period primarily due to lower gaming revenues as a result of lower gaming volumes that were impacted by poor weather and table games hold percentage. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.4 million, or 16.7%, compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to the decrease in net revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.3% was 220 basis points favorable compared with pre-COVID-19 first quarter of fiscal 2020, but 239 basis points unfavorable compared with the prior-year period.

Net revenues increased $11.2 million compared with the prior-year period due to higher gaming volumes and a substantial increase in non-gaming revenues. These results reflect increased volumes related to the opening of the 5000 seat OLG Stage entertainment venue and the properties operating without various COVID-19 related restrictions in the current year. Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.0 million or 8.7%. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.1% was 1160 basis points favorable compared with pre-COVID-19 first quarter of fiscal 2020, but 134 basis points unfavorable compared with the prior-year period due to the continued reintroduction of certain lower margin non-gaming amenities, as well as increased labor, marketing, and other operating costs.

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely
