MGM Mirage Revises Profit After Tax Refunds
- Share via
MGM Mirage Inc. revised its fourth-quarter net income to 52 cents a share from 47 cents after gaining state tax refunds for the Borgata hotel and casino in Atlantic City, N.J.
The tax credits increased net income 10% to $74.9 million, the Las Vegas-based company said in a regulatory filing.
MGM Mirage said last month that profit fell 26% to $67.9 million, but the company beat analysts’ expectations as gambling and entertainment revenue from its Las Vegas properties boosted results.
Shares of MGM Mirage rose 98 cents to $72.67 on the NYSE.
