Total operating revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were US$1.29 billion, representing an increase of approximately 9% from US$1.19 billion for the comparable period in 2024. The increase in total operating revenues was primarily attributable to the improved overall rolling chip and mass market table games performance.

Melco Resorts’ Adjusted Property EBITDA ( 1) was US$331.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with US$295.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net income attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the fourth quarter of 2025 was US$60.6 million, or US$0.16 per ADS, compared with net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited of US$20.3 million, or US$0.05 per ADS, in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Mr. Lawrence Ho, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2025 was a year of growth and recovery, supported by disciplined cost management and margin expansion. Melco Resorts recorded US$1.43 billion in Group Property EBITDA for the full year 2025. In Macau, Property EBITDA grew by 25% year-over-year to US$1.23 billion for the full year 2025, driven by stronger gaming revenue and margins. We remain focused on executing our growth priorities and are energized by the pipeline of new initiatives launching in the coming year, each designed to further differentiate our offerings.
