Quarterly profit declined despite broadly stable revenue
Q2 FY2026 net revenue decreased 0.7% year over year to $3.154B, while operating income fell 21.1% to $618M and consolidated adjusted property EBITDA declined 16.1% to $1.119B. Management attributed the weaker operating result principally to lower casino revenue and higher operating costs at both Macao and Marina Bay Sands.
Casino volumes increased, but lower win and hold rates reduced gaming revenue
Casino revenue declined $74M, or 3.1%, to $2.341B in Q2 FY2026. At Marina Bay Sands, casino revenue fell $44M as lower table-games win percentages outweighed higher table-games and slot volumes; Macao casino revenue fell $30M for the same broad reason, despite higher volumes across properties.
Macao profitability was pressured by competition and higher patron-investment costs
Macao adjusted property EBITDA declined $136M, or 24.0%, year over year in Q2 FY2026. Management cited lower casino revenue, higher sales and marketing spending to attract patrons, and higher payroll costs related to the competitive environment; Macao casino expenses also included a $30M increase in gaming taxes and $26M of higher payroll and related expenses.
