Macau.-\u00a0Melco Resorts & Entertainment\u00a0<\/strong>has announced that its net loss rose 35.4 per cent year-on-year to US$251.5m. The group’s operating revenue for the second quarter was US$296.1m<\/strong>, a drop of 47.7 per cent from US$566.4m reported in the second quarter of 2021.

Lawrence Ho Yau Lung<\/strong>, the group\u2019s chairman and chief executive said: “It goes without saying that our results for the second quarter of 2022 were heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed across mainland China and Macau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Throughout the pandemic, ensuring the health and safety of our Colleagues has been very important, and these continued to be our highest priority through the recent outbreak in Macau.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: “In contrast to the challenges we have been facing in Macau, our businesses in\u00a0the Philippines<\/a>\u00a0and Cyprus have been improving with volumes gradually recovering toward pre-Covid-19 levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“City of Dreams Manila<\/strong> has been operating at 100 per cent capacity since March 1, 2022\u00a0and saw a fairly quick recovery in domestic business. International visitation continues to ramp up, and we expect to see further growth as more of the travel restrictions around Asia are lifted and travel returns to normal. Cyprus also saw a pick-up in volumes and profitability with a relaxation in Covid-19 related restrictions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
