Wynn Macau's Q4 2025 financial report is out, with an on-the-spot interpretation by investment bank Jefferies: Overall in line with expectations, VIP business being the highlight, but profits were dragged down by win rates. Data shows that quarterly revenue increased by 4% year-on-year to $968 million, while adjusted EBITDA fell by 7% to $271 million, narrowing the profit margin to 28%. In plain terms, it means that there was no shortage of high-end players, but the house was unlucky, and with rising costs, profits actually decreased. However, the management is very confident about 2026, relying on the expansion of the Wynn Palace Chairman's Club and the renovation of the Wynn Tower rooms.

First, Data Decoding: VIP surged by 48%, but two major factors "ate into" profits
Jefferies analysts Anne Ling and Jingjue Pei detailed the Q4 2025 performance of Wynn Macau in the report:
Revenue: $968 million, a 4% increase year-on-year
Adjusted EBITDA: $271 million, a 7% decline year-on-year
EBITDA profit margin: 28% (narrowed year-on-year)
Positive factors: The turnover in VIP rooms skyrocketed 48% year-on-year, showing a strong recovery in the high-end market.
Negative factors:
Low win rates: Below normal VIP win rates, impacting EBITDA by about $16 million in a single quarter
Midfield win rates declined: Down 250 basis points year-on-year
Operating costs increased: Daily operating expenses, excluding gaming taxes, about $2.85 million, mainly due to increased investment and sales in dining facilities
Second, 2026 Highlights: New venues + new rooms, management full of confidence
Despite the profit pressure in the fourth quarter, Wynn management is optimistic about the outlook for 2026, with two major upgrade projects worth noting:
Wynn Palace Chairman's Club: Approved for opening, expanded to nearly 100,000 square feet, targeting VIP customers
Wynn Tower room renovation: Further enhancing the reception capacity of the peninsula property
Jefferies report quotes management stating that January 2026 transaction volume has already exceeded fourth quarter levels, laying the foundation for growth throughout the year. In terms of capital expenditure, plans to invest $400 million to $450 million in license-related projects, pending government approval.
Third, Competitive Situation: Close combat, but reinvestment not out of control
Facing the fierce competition in Macau's gaming industry, Wynn management's description is quite vivid—"Day-to-day face-to-face confrontation". However, Jefferies points out that although the level of reinvestment has been adjusted, it has not seen an uncontrollable surge. Finding a balance between stabilizing market share and maintaining profit margins remains the main theme for 2026.
