Wynn Resorts has released its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending 31 December 2023, reporting growth in operating revenues and net income compared to the previous year.

This increase in net income was primarily attributed to heightened operating revenues from Macau Operations and Las Vegas Operations, alongside an income tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

Craig Billings, Wynn Resorts CEO, commented: "The strong momentum we built throughout 2023 continued during the fourth quarter with Adjusted Property EBITDAR reaching a new all-time record. These impressive results highlight our team’s relentless focus on delivering five-star hospitality, which continues to elevate our properties above our peers as the destinations of choice for luxury guests in Las Vegas, Boston and Macau."
Billings further added: "On the development front, construction of Wynn Al Marjan Island continues, with much of the hotel tower and podium foundation complete and preparations underway to start vertical construction of the hotel tower. We are confident the resort will be a 'must see' tourism destination in the UAE. We are excited about the outlook for the Company, and we will continue to focus on driving long-term returns for shareholders."

Adjusted Property EBITDAR for the year surged to $2.11bn, from $725.4m in 2022, representing an increase of 190.72%.
The company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on 29 February 2024, to stockholders of record as of 20 February 2024.
