- Segment Performance:
- MGM China: Revenues increased 17% (Q3) and 7% (YTD) driven by higher casino revenue.
- MGM Digital: Revenues increased 23% (Q3) and 13% (YTD) due to organic growth.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Strategic Shifts: Management confirmed the withdrawal of the Empire City commercial gaming license application. The property will continue operating in its current format.
- Asset Sale: In October 2025, MGM entered an agreement to sell MGM Northfield Park operations for $546 million. Closing is expected in H1 2026, which will reduce annual cash rent by $53 million.
- Capital Commitments: The company has a remaining funding commitment of approximately $2.4 billion (JPY 361 billion) for the MGM Osaka integrated resort project over the next three years. A new JPY 45.2 billion term loan facility was secured in October 2025 to support this.
- Cybersecurity: Ongoing litigation and regulatory investigations related to the September 2023 cybersecurity incident remain. A $45 million settlement for U.S. class actions was approved in June 2025.
- Dividends: The company has suspended regular dividends to stockholders. MGM China declared and paid interim and final dividends in 2025.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Empire City Impact: Verify the long-term strategic value of retaining Empire City as a non-commercial gaming facility versus the $349 million in total impairments recorded.
- Las Vegas Recovery: Monitor RevPAR trends and occupancy rates post-MGM Grand Las Vegas room remodel to assess the duration of revenue headwinds.
- Debt Maturity Profile: Review the schedule for fixed-rate debt maturities and the impact of variable-rate exposure (approx. 12% of total borrowings) on future interest expenses.
- Osaka Funding: Track the drawdown of the new Yen credit facility and potential cost overruns on the Osaka project due to inflation.
- Cybersecurity Liabilities: Assess the potential for additional regulatory fines or legal costs beyond the settled $45 million class action.
