Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 18, 2025. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods. MGM Resorts International together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” MGM China Holdings Limited together with its subsidiaries is referred to as “MGM China.”

Updates to Strategic Business Developments

In the third quarter of 2025, the competitive and economic assumptions underpinning our return expectations on our investment in a commercial gaming facility changed, which led us to determine we would withdraw our application for a commercial gaming license for Empire City. As such, in the third quarter of 2025, we recorded an impairment of the full amount of the Empire City reporting unit’s goodwill of $256 million and charges for write-downs and impairments within “Property transactions, net” of $93 million, of which charges primarily consist of the impairment of $52 million relating to Empire City’s existing gaming license. We will instead continue to operate Empire City in its current format.

In October 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell the operations of MGM Northfield Park for $546 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the master lease between us and VICI will be amended to remove MGM Northfield Park and to reflect a $53 million reduction in annual cash rent, subject to a 2% escalator on May 1, 2026. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:

  • Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop, which is the total amount of cash and net markers issued and deposited into the drop box, and slot handle, which is the gross amount wagered in slot machines, (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. “Win” or “hold” percentages represent the net amount of gaming wins and losses in relation to table games drop or slot handle; and

  • Hotel revenue indicators (for Las Vegas Strip Resorts) – hotel occupancy (a volume indicator); average daily rate (“ADR,” a price indicator); and revenue per available room (“RevPAR,” a summary measure of hotel results, combining ADR and occupancy rate). Our calculation of ADR, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day, includes the impact of complimentary rooms. Complimentary room rates are determined based on standalone selling price. Because the mix of rooms provided on a complimentary basis, particularly to casino customers, includes a disproportionate suite component, the composite ADR including complimentary rooms is slightly higher than the ADR for cash rooms, reflecting the higher retail value of suites.

Results of Operations

Summary Operating Results

The following table summarizes our consolidated operating results:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
(In thousands)
Net revenues$4,250,464$4,183,138$12,932,416$12,893,983
Operating income (loss)(112,852)314,857676,7701,198,891
Net income (loss)(206,729)244,164138,096826,692
Net income (loss) attributable to MGM Resorts International(285,255)184,578(87,750)589,126

Consolidated net revenues increased 2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to MGM China increasing 17% and MGM Digital increasing 23%, partially offset by Las Vegas Strip Resorts decreasing 7%, and Regional Operations flat, each as compared to the prior year quarter and as discussed below.

Consolidated operating loss was $113 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to operating income of $315 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was due primarily to $256 million of goodwill impairment related to Empire City, $93 million of write-offs and impairments related to Empire City recorded within property transactions, net, and an increase in gaming taxes incurred primarily at MGM China, partially offset by an increase in net revenues discussed above.

Consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were flat compared to the prior year period due primarily to MGM China increasing 7%, MGM Digital increasing 13%, and Regional Operations increasing 1%, offset by Las Vegas Strip Resorts decreasing 5%, each as compared to the period year period.

Consolidated operating income decreased 44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to $256 million of goodwill impairment related to Empire City, $93 million of write-offs and impairments related to Empire City recorded within property transactions, net, an increase in gaming taxes incurred primarily at MGM China, and depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $117 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to recently completed capital projects.
