Rush Street Interactive, MGM Announce 1st Quarter Earnings for 2025
MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) ("MGM Resorts" or the "Company") on Wednesday reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"MGM Resorts achieved strong first quarter results across our portfolio in the face of the well anticipated comparison to last year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas, highlighted by a positive EBITDA performance at our BetMGM venture," said Bill Hornbuckle, Chief Executive Officer & President of MGM Resorts International. "We are well prepared for the remainder of 2025, and are making excellent progress on the implementation of $200 million EBITDA enhancements that launched last year, and expect to exceed $150 million in implementation in the year. MGM Resorts is strongly positioned with an outstanding team, globally recognized brands, and a diverse group of market leading operations that have benefited from significant capital investment. Our forward bookings remain solid and April is on track to be a record hotel month for our Las Vegas Strip operations."
"The equity market volatility has provided MGM Resorts with the opportunity to repurchase shares at very attractive valuations in the first quarter, which resulted in the repurchase of nearly 15 million shares for $494 million," said Jonathan Halkyard, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer of MGM Resorts International. "We continue to see significant value in our shares at current levels and our Board of Directors have authorized a new $2 billion share repurchase program."
