Wynn Resorts Ltd Announces Q1 2020 Results
Wynn Resorts Ltd has announced its Q1 2020 results. Operating revenues were $953.7 million during Q1 2020, a decrease of 42.3% from $1.65 billion during Q1 2019.
Net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited was $402.0 million, or $3.77 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited of $104.9 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019.
“Our leadership team has been working side-by-side with our host communities, fellow industry leaders and world-class medical experts to identify and implement strategies to mitigate the impact of the virus on our team members, our guests and our broader communities. In mid-March we led the industry by identifying the need for short-term closure in Las Vegas and Boston, thereby doing our part to ‘flatten the curve.’ Concurrently, we decided to invest in the health and safety of our approximately 30,000 team members globally by committing to pay their full wages and benefits through May. We continue to play a leadership role in the industry’s re-emergence, most recently producing a detailed reopening plan on April 19, developed in consultation with medical experts from Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities, which we believe will be the gold standard for sanitization and customer safety,” Matt Maddox, CEO of Wynn Resorts, said.
“At the same time, we have also been focused on our long-term business prospects, taking steps to bolster our already strong liquidity position by opportunistically issuing $600 million of unsecured notes and increasing our financial flexibility. While the current environment is clearly challenging, we are confident that travel and tourism will recover in both the U.S. and China, and our industry leading assets, fortress balance sheet and talented team members position the Company to thrive in the years ahead,” Matt Maddox added.
The Company announced that it has suspended its quarterly dividend program due to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

PAGCOR WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST US-BASED ILLEGAL GAMING WEBSITE
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) reiterates its call to the public – both local and foreign nationals – to be extra vigilant when engaging in online gaming activities as illegal online gaming sites continue to proliferate.
The renewed call from the country’s gaming regulator came on the heels of news reports that a certain website — www.starspangled200.org – which was printed on close to 800,000 registered vehicle plates in Maryland, USA to promote the state’s history, was used by fraudsters as a link to an illegal gambling website allegedly operating in the Philippines.
According to PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco, the URL www.starspangled200.org printed on these Maryland plates which redirects to https://www.globeinternational.info/ has been used as an illegal gambling platform that not only violates players’ rights but also places the Philippines in a bad light.
“PAGCOR has nothing to do with the said websites, as well as the gaming activities happening therein. As the country’s gaming regulator, PAGCOR does not condone illegal online gambling. Engaging or betting on illegal gambling activities is not only a criminal act; it also takes away from the government billions of pesos in revenues which can be used to fund priority programs that will benefit a greater number of Filipinos. Hence, we have been continuously working with various government and law enforcement agencies to ensure that our gaming policies are in place and the online gaming platforms that we regulate are safe and credible,” he said.
“We have referred this matter to our Security and Monitoring Cluster for investigation. The website was also referred to the appropriate government agency for immediate action.” Tengco added.
Tengco strongly calls for gaming aficionados to only take part in its licensed online-based gaming platforms for a truly enjoyable and safe gaming experience.
The list of registered and legitimate websites can be found through this link: https://www.pagcor.ph/regulatory/index.php.
