Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) officially reported its first quarter 2025 financial results ending March 31, 2025, spotlighting key performance metrics and operational dynamics across its global resort portfolio. The report details operational revenues, net income, and segment-specific financial data, shedding light on current business trends and their implications.
Wynn Resorts, a leader in the global casino and luxury resort industry, achieved total operating revenues of \(1.70 billion for Q1 2025, reflecting a \)162.5 million decline (about 8.7%) compared to \(1.86 billion in Q1 2024. The net income attributable to Wynn Resorts stood at \)72.7 million for Q1 2025, less than half the \(144.2 million reported in the corresponding quarter the previous year. Diluted earnings per share consequently fell from \)1.30 to $0.69 year-over-year, underscoring a softening profitability environment.
The results cover the quarter ended March 31, 2025, encapsulating Wynn Resorts assets predominantly in Macau, Las Vegas, Boston, and construction progress in the UAE.
Macau Operations: Operating revenues at Wynn Macau dropped 19.9% to \(330.0 million with Adjusted Property EBITDAR falling 34.3% to \)90.2 million. VIP hold percentages fell below expectations significantly (1.09% vs. expected 3.1-3.4%) leading to softer VIP table games win rates. Wynn Palace also faced similar trends with operating revenues down 8.7% to $535.9 million and Adjusted Property EBITDAR declining 20.0%.
Las Vegas Operations: Despite a slight revenue decrease of 1.8% to \(625.3 million, the segment maintained solid table games performance within expected ranges, supporting an Adjusted Property EBITDAR of \)223.4 million.
Encore Boston Harbor: Revenues declined 3.9% to $209.2 million, with EBITDAR down by 9.0%, reflecting a softer casino environment but stable slot machine win growth.
The decline in revenues and EBITDAR from key segments significantly impacted the overall operating income and net income margins for the quarter. Compared with the operating margin of 18.68% and net profit margin of 7.03% recorded in FY 2024, Q1 2025 margins indicate pressure from softer market conditions, particularly in Macau’s VIP segment.
Wynn Resorts continues advancing its growth project, Wynn Al Marjan Island in the UAE, with cash contributions totaling $682.9 million and plans for a 2027 opening, signaling confidence in long-term expansion.
The company declared a \(0.25 per share dividend payable in May 2025 and executed \)200 million in stock repurchases in Q1 2025, showcasing commitment to shareholder returns despite near-term operational challenges.
Prior earnings calls emphasized robust international demand and strategic market share maintenance, particularly in Macau and Las Vegas. While the current results reflect those themes, the impact of VIP hold variability and reduced discretionary spending linked to macroeconomic caution is evident in the revenue downturn.
Wynn Resorts’ early 2025 financial performance reveals resilience amid a challenging backdrop of softer VIP gaming metrics and cautious consumer behavior. The company’s strong balance sheet, ongoing capital return programs, and significant investments in international expansion position it to navigate short-term headwinds while pursuing long-term growth.
