Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (MLCO) reported Q1 2026 results with notable swings across revenue, profitability and cash flow.

Total revenues: $1.4 billion (down 44.55% year-over-year).

Gross profit: $513.2 million (down 84.15% year-over-year).

Operating profit: $179.0 million (up 23.54% year-over-year).

Net income attributable to common shareholders: $76.8 million (up 136.17% year-over-year).

Diluted earnings per share: $0.20 (up 150.0% year-over-year).

Cash from operating activities: $472.8 million (up 571.7% year-over-year).

Purchases of property, plant and equipment: $182.3 million (up 392.59% year-over-year).

Cash and cash equivalents: $942.4 million (down 14.65% year-over-year).

Total liabilities: $8.3 billion (down 6.33% year-over-year).

Cost of sales: $853.5 million (down 210.4% year-over-year).

The quarter shows a sharp revenue and gross-profit decline versus the prior year, while operating profit and net income improved significantly and earnings per share rose strongly. The jump in operating cash flow funded higher capital spending, and the company finished the quarter with nearly $942.4 million in cash and a slightly reduced liability base. Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (MLCO) appears to be converting improved cash generation into reinvestment despite the top-line pressure.
