News Article: MGM Resorts Outshines Competitors in Q2 2025 Financial Performance
Flutter generates a staggering $4.19 billion in Q2 2025 revenue
MGM Resorts has announced its Q2 2025 financial results, revealing a record-breaking performance with consolidated net revenues of $4.41 billion, marking a 1.8% year-over-year (YoY) increase. This figure surpassed consensus estimates by 2.4%, according to available sources [1][2].
The company's consolidated adjusted EBITDA also saw a 2% YoY increase, reaching $647.5 million [1]. However, earnings per share (EPS) slightly dipped to 79 cents, compared to the Zacks estimate of 58 cents but down from 86 cents the previous year [1].
MGM's Regional Operations and MGM China contributed significantly to the growth, with MGM China achieving all-time record Segment Adjusted EBITDAR and a 16.6% market share [2]. The sports betting venture, BetMGM, also demonstrated strong revenue and EBITDA growth, upgrading its full-year guidance and progressing towards a $500 million EBITDA target [1][2].
Despite a 4% YoY decline in Las Vegas operations revenue, impacted by a room remodel at MGM Grand and lower table games hold, the segment still reported a $2.2 billion revenue figure [3]. This decline also caused a 9% drop in adjusted EBITDA in Las Vegas.
Long-term debt at quarter-end was $6.21 billion, slightly down from $6.36 billion at 2024-end. The company repurchased nearly 8 million shares in Q2 2025, reducing shares outstanding by 45% since early 2021 [1][2].
Key strategic initiatives for MGM Resorts include capital investments, such as the MGM Grand room remodel, expected to support growth in late 2025 and 2026 [1][2]. The company is also focusing on expanding BetMGM’s profit trajectory, targeting $500 million EBITDA in the near future and expecting MGM Digital segment profitability soon [1][2].
Ongoing growth in Regional Operations and MGM China markets, positive outlook on Las Vegas with improving convention bookings and expected boost from sports tourism, and pursuit of integrated resort development in Asia, particularly Japan, are other notable strategic initiatives [2][3][4]. MGM Resorts remains committed to sustainability, humane employee treatment, and community impact under their "Focused on What Matters" ESG initiative [4].
