ANNOUNCEMENT OF UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS

FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

BY A LISTED SUBSIDIARY

  • MELCO RESORTS & ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED

This is not an announcement of the financial results of Melco International Development Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"). This announcement is made by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the Inside Information Provisions of Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) to provide shareholders of the Company with information in respect of the financial results of a listed subsidiary of the Company, Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited ("Melco Resorts"), which has announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2021 on 28 April 2021.

Melco Resorts, a listed subsidiary of the Company, whose American depositary shares ("ADSs") are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the United States, has announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2021 on 28 April 2021 (the "Melco Resorts' Earnings Release"). Extracts of the unaudited financial results of Melco Resorts are provided below.

The First Quarter 2021 Results of Melco Resorts

Total operating revenues for the first quarter of 2021 were US$0.52 billion, representing a decrease of approximately 36% from US$0.81 billion for the comparable period in 2020. The decrease in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to a year-over-year decline in inbound tourism in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the first quarter of 2020, which was only partially impacted by the restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2021 was US$162.8 million, compared with operating loss of US$149.9 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Melco Resorts generated Adjusted Property EBITDA (i.e. net income/loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, development costs, property charges and other, share-based compensation, payments to the Philippine parties under the cooperative arrangement (the "Philippine Parties"), land rent to Belle Corporation, corporate and other expenses and other non-operating income and expenses) of US$30.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared with Adjusted Property EBITDA of US$75.3 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Net loss attributable to Melco Resorts for the first quarter of 2021 was US$232.9 million, or US$0.49 per ADS, compared with net loss attributable to Melco Resorts of US$364.0 million, or US$0.76 per ADS, in the first quarter of 2020. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was US$44.6 million and US$42.0 million during the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, all of which were related to Studio City, City of Dreams Manila and the Cyprus Operations.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Total net non-operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were US$114.0 million, which mainly included interest expenses of US$90.6 million, net of amounts capitalized, and loss on extinguishment of debt of US$28.8 million.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$141.1 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2021, of which US$14.3 million related to the amortization expense for Melco Resorts' Macau gaming subconcession and US$5.7 million related to the amortization expense for the land use rights.

Financial Position and Capital Expenditures

Total cash and bank balances as of 31 March 2021 aggregated to US$1.58 billion, including US$0.4 million of restricted cash. Total debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue premiums, was US$5.80 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2021.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2021 were US$157.4 million, which primarily related to various construction projects at City of Dreams, Studio City Phase 2, and City of Dreams Mediterranean.

Recent Developments

The COVID-19 outbreak continues to have a material effect on Melco Resorts' operations, financial position, and prospects during the second quarter of 2021.

Despite the nationwide resumption of issuance of Individual Visit Scheme visas by China in September 2020, Melco Resorts' operations in Macau continue to be impacted by significant travel bans, restrictions, and quarantine requirements imposed by the governments in Macau, Hong Kong and China, and such bans, restrictions and requirements have been, and may continue to be, modified by the relevant authorities from time to time as COVID-19 developments unfold. Additionally, health-related precautionary measures remain in place at Melco Resorts' properties in Macau, which continue to impact visitation and customer spending.

Melco Resorts' Philippines casino gaming operations were closed due to the enhanced community quarantine for the entire island of Luzon, including Metro Manila, which began in March 2020. Despite the general closure, in June 2020, City of Dreams Manila was able to conduct a dry run of its gaming and hospitality operations with a limited number of participants, strictly adhering to the new guidelines on social distancing and hygiene and sanitation procedures imposed by the government of the Philippines and as permitted by Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation ("PAGCOR"). The PAGCOR-sanctioned dry run aimed at addressing all potential operational concerns to achieve a seamless re-opening for City of Dreams Manila. The dry run was expected to continue until PAGCOR issued a formal notice that City of Dreams Manila could resume operations again on a regular basis in the future.

2

The dry run was suspended for more than two weeks in early August 2020 due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, before resuming in late August 2020. However, due to a recent resurgence in COVID-19 cases, on 12 April 2021, the government placed Metro Manila under a modified enhanced community quarantine, which is expected to be in effect until 30 April 2021. City of Dreams Manila was temporarily closed beginning on 29 March 2021, and will remain closed while such quarantine measures remain in place.

In Cyprus, on 12 November 2020, as part of a regional lockdown, Melco Resorts' casino operations in Limassol and Paphos were suspended until 30 November 2020. Thereafter, the government of Cyprus has announced a series of nationwide measures in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 which included, among others, curfews, restrictions on gatherings, sports activities and operation of food and beverage and retail businesses and closure of various other businesses, including Melco Resorts' casino operations in Cyprus. As a result, Melco Resorts' operations in Cyprus are currently closed and will remain closed while such measures remain in place.

The COVID-19 outbreak has also impacted the construction of the Studio City Phase 2 project and the progress of construction work at the City of Dreams Mediterranean project. Melco Resorts currently expects additional time will be needed to complete the construction of these projects.

As the disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak are ongoing, any recovery from such disruptions will depend on future events, such as the successful production, distribution and widespread acceptance of safe and effective vaccines, the development of effective treatments for COVID-19, including for new strains of COVID-19, the duration of travel and visa restrictions as well as customer sentiment and behavior, including the length of time before customers resume traveling and participating in entertainment and leisure activities at high-density venues and the impact of potential higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak on consumer behavior related to discretionary spending and traveling, all of which are highly uncertain.
