Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) extending a $500 million credit revolver to its Wynn Macau unit is a negative sign. But other concessionaires in the world\u2019s largest casino center could follow, according to Morgan Stanley analysts.<\/p>\n

The bank says the move by Wynn implies Macau operators are encountering headwinds in obtaining capital from banks — a potentially ominous sign when analysts are concerned about<\/a> cash burn rates, profitability is hard to come by. Yields on corporate debt issued by concessionaires are blowing out.<\/p>\n

Bond yields for Wynn Macau is 12%. Bond yields for most other Macau operators also at >10%, making bond financing expensive,\u201d<\/strong> note Morgan Stanley analysts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even with the extension of the $500 million credit facility<\/a> to its Macau unit, Wynn sounded bullish on the special administrative region\u2019s (SAR) long-term prospects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agreement highlights both Wynn Resorts and the company\u2019s (Wynn Macau) confidence in the long-term growth potential of Macau, and the availability of the facility further bolsters the company\u2019s already strong financial position,\u201d said the company in a regulatory document.<\/p>\n

Wynn Resorts owns 72% of Wynn Macau.<\/p>\n

Other Macau Operators Could Follow Suit<\/h2>\n

The Morgan Stanley analysts indicate Wynn may not be the last parent company to extend capital to its Macau unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect Sands China and SJM could announce similar arrangements soon unless SJM could complete refinancing soon,\u201d said the analysts.<\/p>\n

Grand Lisboa Palace<\/a> operator SJM Holdings is perhaps the most financially imperiled of the six Macau concessionaires. But the company is waiting on a consortium of creditors to approve a $2.4 billion loan, which could be a vital lifeline.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As for Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) providing capital to its Sands China operation, Morgan Stanley didn\u2019t forecast exactly when that could happen. Last September, the operator of five Macau integrated resorts amended an agreement with a group of creditors. In March, Sands China drew $201 million<\/a> on a credit revolver, buying it time to support operations through at least the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Cash Burn Concerns<\/h2>\n

Morgan Stanley forecasts Macau’s second-quarter gross gaming revenue (GGR) of just $1.1 billion, which would mark the third-worst quarter since 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe estimate 2Q22 [Corporate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)] for Macau at [a loss of US$600 million to US$700 million] versus [a loss of USS$9 million] in 1Q22. 2Q free cash flow equity (after development Capex) could be negative US$1.6 billion to US$1.7 billion for the industry versus a US$1 billion loss in 1Q22,\u201d adds the bank.<\/p>\n

As such, cash burn rates are amplified. While the Morgan Stanley analysts note Wynn Macau has the cash to survive at least 38 months, the research firm estimates the operator is spending $2 million a day in the current quarter, or 82% above first-quarter levels.<\/p>\n

MGM China Ltd, Sands China, and SJM Holdings have less than a year\u2019s worth of cash, according to Morgan Stanley. The bank\u2019s report didn\u2019t mention MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) potentially providing capital to MGM China. The US-based parent owns about 56% of the Macau unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
