Wynn Resorts, Limited Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

Highlights include:

Net revenues were $1.53 billion for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 44.5%, or $470.9 million, from $1.06 billion for the same period of 2016. The increase was the result of $414.7 million from Wynn Palace, which opened in the third quarter of 2016, and increases of $43.4 million and $12.9 million from Wynn Macau and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively.

On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis, net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited was $74.9 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 6.4%, or $4.5 million, from $70.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the same period of 2016. The increase in net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited was primarily the result of income from Wynn Palace, partially offset by an increase in interest expense as the Company is no longer capitalizing interest on Wynn Palace, losses on extinguishment of debt and an increase in the Redemption Note fair value. Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited (1) was $120.9 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $108.7 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the same period of 2016.
