Mohegan Pushes Forward with Growth Plans Amidst Mixed Q2 Results

Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment remains on track with its expansion plans despite recent financial results revealing a slight year-over-year dip in revenue. However, the company’s digital operations recorded outstanding growth, justifying ongoing investments and demonstrating how retail and online offerings can complement each other to deliver lasting success.

Most Metrics Remained Robust

For the quarter ending June 30, 2025, Mohegan posted net revenue of $436.9 million, a decline of 1.6% from the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA stood at $94.1 million, a reduction of $18.3 million, or 16.3% compared to the previous year’s results. The company attributed the revenue drops to several one-off factors. 

Some of the quoted irregularities include management fees relating to the Ilani property and a one-time accelerated non-cash digital license fee at Mohegan Pennsylvania. Without these, Adjusted EBITDA would have risen by 4.9%. CEO Raymond Pineault noted that the company’s recent refinancing put it in a better position to meet its long-term goals.

“Now that we’ve addressed our capital structure, we’re singularly focused on executing our plan and increasing value for all our stakeholders.”

Digital operations performed better than expected. Digital net revenue increased to $67.5 million, a $25.6 million rise year-over-year. Mohegan Digital’s Adjusted EBITDA grew 48.2%. The company pointed to ongoing growth in Connecticut and consistent performance in Pennsylvania. Mohegan’s status as the lone land-based operator with its proprietary digital product in Ontario gave it a significant competitive advantage.

The Company Remains Focused on Growing Its Footprint

Mohegan’s physical footprint remains anchored by Mohegan Pennsylvania, its flagship resort in Connecticut, and its Canadian operations in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The operator continues to pursue growth opportunities in both online gaming and new resort destinations. One of its most notable expansion efforts includes its bid for one of the limited New York casino licenses.

In partnership with the Soloviev Group, Mohegan is submitting a proposal for a Freedom Plaza resort on a six-acre property located on Manhattan’s East Side between 38th and 41st Streets, east of First Avenue. The project envisions a combination of luxurious amenities, meticulously designed public spaces, and a rewards program linked to local enterprises.

While quarterly results revealed some softness in headline numbers, Mohegan executives were keen to point out that underlying trends, especially in the digital sector, remain robust. With a solid balance sheet, growing digital revenues, and an eye on new markets, Mohegan remains well-positioned to maintain its momentum despite intensifying competition and broader economic challenges.
