City of Dreams operator’s revenue flat in Q2
The operator of integrated resort and casino City of Dreams Manila reported flat revenue growth for the second quarter of 2018, weighed down by higher commissions.
In a disclosure to the stock exchange on Wednesday, July 25, Melco Resorts and Entertainment (Philippines) Corp said net revenues at City of Dreams Manila reached $173.9 million for the three months ending June, 1.3% lower than the $176.2 million it generated in the same period a year ago.
“The decrease was mainly due to higher commissions reported as a reduction in revenue upon the adoption of a new revenue recognition standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, partially offset by improved gross gaming revenues,” the company said. — Arra B. Francia
