The jump in operating cash flow funded higher capital spending, and the company finished the quarter with nearly <strong>$942.4 million<\/strong> in cash and a slightly reduced liability base. Melco Resorts &amp; Entertainment Limited (MLCO) appears to be converting improved cash generation into reinvestment despite the top-line pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Note: This financials data is sourced from a third-party provider and has not been independently verified by Quiver.<\/p>\n<div style=\"&#10;
