WYNN 3Q2010 PREVIEW

10/15/10 11:44AM EDT

Unlike most quarters, the news here is that we are not far off from consensus:  7% above on Macau EBITDA and 1% higher on Vegas.

Wynn’s Q3 shouldn’t be the huge beat we’ve seen in recent quarters.  Market share losses in Macau should prevent outsized outperformance but the quarter should still be solid.  We think Wynn’s market share remains disappointing post the Encore opening but strong Macau market growth makes the market share argument fairly weak, until it’s not.  Here are the details in our model:

3Q2010 Detail:

We project Wynn Macau & Encore to report $205MM of EBITDA on net revenues of $686MM

  • Net casino revenue of $640MM
    • RC volume of $21BN at a hold of 2.9%, producing gross VIP table revenue of $623MM
    • We assume a 84bps rebate rate and a 40.6% revenue share commission rate
    • Mass table win of $138MM and slot win of $60MM
