All eyes have been on Mohegan to see how the company has fared in the inaugural year of operating Mohegan Inspire in South Korea.
Key points:
- Mohegan achieved the highest net revenue in its company history, up 13% annually to $1.9bn
- FY2024 net income fell from $22.9m to ($234.5m)
- Management attributes this to the cost of opening Inspire, low table holds and a customer contract asset at Niagara Resorts
Mohegan has published its Q4 and FY2024 reports for the periods ending September 30, 2024.
Q4 report
Net revenue for the Q4 period totalled $497.7m, an increase of 12% when compared to the same period in 2023.
However, this was accompanied by a 30% dip in income from operations down to $33.5m, which management has attributed to costs related to Mohegan Inspire.
The net loss was ($63.3m), compared to the ($18.9m) figure from last year.
Finally, adjusted EBITDA also fell 8% down to $81.3m.
Domestic revenue increased 12% to $327.1m and adjusted EBITDA grew 33% to $88.9m.
Income from operations in US properties grew 45% to $66.4m, while net income jumped up 51% to $66.7m.
For its international operations, revenue increased 41%, but operating losses almost doubled to ($36.1m).
Net loss for these properties was ($48.1m), almost double again from last year, while adjusted EBITDA deepened from $23.3m to ($11.5m).
Ari Glazer, Chief Financial Officer of Mohegan, said: "Net revenues of $497.7m increased $53.4m compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to continued growth in Mohegan Digital and revenue from Mohegan Inspire.
"Consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $81.3m decreased $6.8m compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to operating costs related to the opening of Mohegan Inspire, low table hold at Mohegan Inspire, an $11.9m non-cash adjustment to the value of a customer contract asset at Niagara Resorts, and a full quarter of ilani management fees earned in the prior-year period, partially offset by strong growth in our Digital operations.”
