Lenders have agreed to extend the maturity date of outstanding loans.

Macau.- Wynn Macau has announced that its lenders have agreed to extend the maturity date of some outstanding loans under an existing revolving facility for three years to September 16, 2028.

On September 12, the casino operator paid an interim dividend of HK$0.075 (US$0.01) per share. The company resumed dividend payments after announcing a 2023 final dividend of HK$0.075 per share in March. In June, the board approved amendments to policy, allowing it to meet semi-annually to consider the declaration of dividends.

That’s a decline of 11.3 per cent sequentially but a rise of 15 per cent when compared to last year. It also recorded adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation and rent (EBITDAR) of US$280.4m, down 17.4 per cent sequentially.
