 Despite a Tough Fourth-quarter, MGM Mirage Revenues
Grew to $4.01 billion, up 29% for the Year
Property Operating Results
-
January 31, 2002 - MGM MIRAGE today reported earnings before nonrecurring expenses of 18 cents per diluted share for the 2001 fourth quarter, compared with 43 cents per diluted share in the 2000 quarter. Consolidated net revenue was down 13% to $896.3 million in the 2001 quarter compared with $1.03 billion in the comparable 2000 quarter. For the three months ended December 31, 2001, operating cash flow ("EBITDA") was $228.2 million when compared with $317.3 million in the prior year's quarter. Net income before nonrecurring expenses during the 2001 quarter was $27.9 million compared with $69.2 million in the prior year's quarter. Including nonrecurring expenses, the Company reported net income of $23.7 million, or 15 cents per diluted share compared with $68 million, or 42 cents per diluted share in the prior year's quarter.
    
While these results reflect a substantial decline in business activity at the Las Vegas resorts following September 11, 2001, the Company's hotel and casino volumes steadily improved throughout the fourth quarter. During the 2001 fourth quarter, weekend occupancy quickly rebounded to prior year levels, while comparative trends improved during the mid-week timeframe. Improved occupancy was achieved in part through a comprehensive marketing strategy designed to maximize business volumes in our resorts. This recovery in customer traffic enabled the Company to continue to improve its casino, food and beverage and retail revenue.
    
"Revenue and cost strategies deployed in the weeks following September 11th have had the desired results. Our focus on rebuilding our business while keeping a keen eye on costs was intended to return our operations to previous levels as quickly as possible," said Terry Lanni, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MGM MIRAGE. "While mindful of the challenges inherent in a global economic slowdown and continued consumer sensitivity to travel, current trends in our resorts indicate that casino and non-casino business should continue to improve throughout 2002."

Consolidated net revenue increased 29% from $3.11 billion in 2000 to $4.01 billion in 2001.

The 2001 operating results reflect the full year impact of the Mirage acquisition, which was completed in May 2000.
    
"It now seems clear that no city in the United States has rebounded as quickly and profoundly as Las Vegas. We own the resorts of choice in that marketplace," said Jim Murren, President and CFO of MGM MIRAGE. "Our financial condition is solid. We have dramatically reduced debt over the past year and a half, including $100 million this month alone. Our cost containment strategies are aimed at improving margins throughout the year. We intend to utilize our free cash flow to further deleverage throughout 2002."
    
As of December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $727 million of available liquidity under its various lines of credit. The Company has no public debt maturities until 2005.
    
"Our business has been far more resilient than anyone expected," said Mr.  Lanni. "We will continue to capitalize on our competitive advantages and lead the recovery currently underway in Las Vegas, while not losing sight of the myriad of growth opportunities afforded our Company both nationally and internationally."
