May 7 - Wynn Resorts reported quarterly adjusted earnings that surpassed Wall Street forecasts, with the company citing stronger business from its Macau portfolio as a key contributor.
The operator said adjusted profit from its properties in Macau - a city under Chinese rule - increased by more than 10% in the quarter. Wynn's Macau holdings include Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. The company also operates properties in Las Vegas.
Wynn's quarterly adjusted profit came to $1.25 per share, ahead of the analyst consensus of $1.18 per share compiled by LSEG. Total operating revenues for the quarter rose 9.2% compared with the prior period.
In remarks accompanying the results, chief executive Craig Billings said the company was "closely monitoring the broader situation in the Gulf region" amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Billings noted that Wynn had resumed construction last month on its integrated resort project in the United Arab Emirates after a short pause.
The market response to the report was muted; shares of the company were marginally up in after-hours trading following the release of results.
Key financial takeaways are highlighted by the beat on adjusted earnings per share and a near double-digit rise in total operating revenues, with Macau-listed operations identified by the company as a material driver of quarter-over-quarter improvement.
