Key Business Segments

Las Vegas Strip Operations

The Las Vegas Strip Resorts segment experienced a decline in net revenues to $2.1 billion, down 4% from the previous year. This was attributed to room remodel impacts and a decline in table games hold at MGM Grand Las Vegas. However, MGM's Vegas flagship properties maintained over 90% occupancy, even during periods of softer gaming revenue.

Regional Operations

Regional operations saw a 4% increase in net revenues, reaching $965 million, primarily driven by higher casino revenue. Regional Properties achieved record second-quarter results.

MGM China

MGM China achieved a market share of 16.6% with record adjusted EBITDAR and a strong performance in premium mass segments. The Board approved a dividend policy of 50% of distributable net income, which is significant for MGM Resorts as a large shareholder. This dividend income is estimated at $150 million to $200 million annually.

Digital Operations

MGM Digital reported 14% revenue growth. The BetMGM North America venture raised its full-year 2025 guidance, indicating a significant EBITDA turnaround of nearly $400 million compared to last year. It also reported its Q2 results with a second upward revision of full-year 2025 guidance.

Strategic Initiatives

The company is making excellent progress on the implementation of $200 million in EBITDA enhancements that were launched last year, with over $150 million expected to be implemented within the current year. This plan comprises 35% revenue-focused actions and 65% cost-saving measures.
