MGM Cotai spans over 71.8k sq m, which is more than 50% the size of MGM China’s casino in Macau. The project, estimated to cost HKD20b (USD2.6b), will house 1,600 hotel rooms (+275%), 500 gaming tables (+117%) and 2,500 slot machines (183%). Piling work at the site, which is east of the Sands Cotai Central site, is about 70% complete and MGM aims to hand over to the contractors by year-end. It has appointed China State Construction to build the complex at a cost of USD1.35b. MGM Cotai will include a large-scale atrium, which is three times the size of Las Vegas’s Bellagio, as well as an ultra-luxury and exclusive hotel called the Mansion. We view the development as positive for MGM, as its growth would no longer be constrained by just a single casino on the peninsula. It would also be able to capture a slice of the Cotai gaming pie with 85% of the new casino’s gross area being devoted to mass market amenities.

MGM has a dividend policy of semi-annual distribution of 35% of anticipated annual profits. On top of this, the company will consider distributing a special dividend subject to its cash flow requirements. Given the parent company MGM Resorts International (MGM US, Not Rated) 51% ownership of MGM China, from a dividend perspective, its interest is aligned with that of minority shareholders. The company has been a generous dividend payer, paying out 95% and 86% of net profit in 2011 and 2012, respectively. We forecast a 90% payout ratio, translating to FY13 and FY14 yields of 5% and 6%. We expect MGM’s dividend to be sustainable, supported by strong net cash hoard of HKD2.5b (as at Jun 2013) and an HKD11.3b credit line which could tapped for its Cotai expansion plans.

MGM has traded in a wide band between 6x and 13x consensus forward EV/EBITDA since its IPO. While MGM currently trades on the high range of its historical EV/EBITDA and largely in line with the sector’s average of 13x, it remains the second cheapest stock in the sector on an EV/EBITDA yardstick. Having displayed strong operational performance and consistent dividend yield the stock has since re-rated from its trough. Hurdles from further positive re-rating include : i) MGM operates a single casino property which lacks mass market amenities, ii) the location of property on the Macau peninsula means MGM lacks exposure to growth in Cotai, and iii) it had to pay a hefty sub-concession premium to SJM.

  • BUSINESS OVERVIEW Our Subsidiary, MGM Grand Paradise, Is
    BUSINESS OVERVIEW Our subsidiary, MGM Grand Paradise, is one of the leading casino gaming resort developers, owners and operators in the greater China region and holds one of the six gaming concessions/ subconcessions in Macau. According to the DICJ, for the month of December 2010, in terms of revenue, we held an approximate 11.4% market share out of the 33 casinos in Macau. We currently own and operate MGM Macau, a premium integrated casino resort on the Macau Peninsula. In addition, we are also exploring growth opportunities in Cotai, the other key area of casino gaming development in Macau. We have identified a site of approximately 17.8 acres in Cotai and have submitted an application to the Macau Government to obtain the right to lease this parcel of land. We are awaiting approval of this application. We benefit from the complementary expertise of MGM Resorts International and Pansy Ho. Immediately following the completion of the Global Offering, our controlling shareholder will be MGM Resorts International (with an interest in 51% of our issued share capital) and Pansy Ho and her controlled companies will be our substantial shareholder (with an interest in 29% of our issued share capital, assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised).
