LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Organization and Business of Company
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Las Vegas Sands Corp. ("LVSC"), a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2018, and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.
On May 31, 2019, the Company closed the sale of Sands Bethlehem in Pennsylvania. At closing, the Company received $1.16 billion in net cash proceeds and recorded a gain on the sale of $556 million. As there is no continuing involvement between the Company and Sands Bethlehem, the Company accounted for the transaction as a sale of a business. The Company concluded Sands Bethlehem does not have a material impact on the Company's overall operations or its consolidated financial results.
In April 2019, the Company paid 72 million Singapore dollars ("SGD," approximately $53 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) to the Singapore Casino Regulatory Authority as part of the process to renew its gaming license at Marina Bay Sands, which gaming license now expires in April 2022.
In April 2019, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”), and the Singapore Tourism Board (the “STB”) entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) pursuant to which MBS will construct a development, which will include a hotel tower with a rooftop attraction, convention and meeting facilities and a state-of-the-art live entertainment arena with a seating capacity of at least 15,000 persons (the “MBS Expansion Project”). The Development Agreement provides for a total project cost of approximately SGD 4.5 billion (approximately $3.3 billion at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction). The amount of the total project cost will be finalized as the Company completes design and development and begins construction. In connection with the Development Agreement, MBS entered into a lease with the STB for the parcels of land underlying the project. In April 2019 and in connection with the lease, MBS provided various governmental agencies in Singapore the required premiums, deposits, stamp duty, goods and services tax and other fees in an aggregate amount of approximately SGD 1.54 billion (approximately $1.14 billion at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction).
The Company is currently conducting a process to amend, extend and upsize its 2012 Singapore Credit Facility to provide for the financing of the development and construction costs, fees and other expenses related to the expansion of MBS pursuant to the Development Agreement. The Company anticipates entering into a new delayed draw term loan facility with an estimated size of approximately $2.77 billion as well as obtaining an increase in commitments under the existing revolving credit facility of up to an estimated $185 million, subject to market conditions.The Company currently expects drawings under the new delayed draw term loan facility would be made from time to time through December 31, 2024, depending on the timing of construction. While the Company currently estimates it will be able to complete this process in the next three months, there is no assurance it will be able to do so within its anticipated timeframe, if at all. In addition, the Company's current estimates with respect to the anticipated size of the facilities and the timing and amounts of drawings under the facilities are subject to change and will depend on a variety of factors, some of which are outside of the Company's control.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update on leases, which requires all lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, at the lease commencement date. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged under the new guidance. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)

statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, on a prospective basis, forgoing comparative reporting. The Company elected to utilize the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. Adoption of the standard resulted in the recording of additional ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $337 million as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on net income. (See disclosures at “Note 8 Leases.”)
In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect the guidance will have on the Company's financial condition and results of operations, but does not expect it will have a material impact.

2018 SCL Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $2.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under the 2018 SCL Revolving Facility.
2012 Singapore Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had SGD 342 million (approximately $253 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2019) of available borrowing capacity under the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, primarily consisting of a banker's guarantee in connection with the MBS Expansion Project for SGD 153 million (approximately $113 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2019).
Debt Covenant Compliance
As of June 30, 2019, management believes the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was approximately $12.42 billion and $11.65 billion, respectively, compared to its contractual value of $12.10 billion and $12.08 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt is based on level 2 inputs (quoted prices in markets that are not active).
Note 3 — Derivative Instruments
In August 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements (the “IR Swaps”), which qualified and were designated as fair value hedges, swapping fixed-rate for variable-rate interest to hedge changes in the fair value of the SCL Senior Notes. These IR Swaps have a total notional value of $5.50 billion and expire in August 2020.
The total fair value of the IR Swaps as of June 30, 2019, was $94 million. In the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, $52 million was recorded as an asset in other assets, net with an equal corresponding adjustment recorded against the carrying value of the SCL Senior Notes. The fair value of the IR Swaps was estimated using level 2 inputs from recently reported market forecasts of interest rates. Gains and losses due to changes in fair value of the IR Swaps completely offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $3 million and $5 million reduction to interest expense, respectively, related to the realized amount associated with the IR Swaps.
Note 4 — Equity and Earnings Per Share
Common Stock
Dividends

Note 5 — Income Taxes
The Company's effective income tax rate was 14.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to (27.2)% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on the Company's Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate for its domestic operations and a zero percent tax rate on its Macao gaming operations due to the Company's income tax exemption in Macao. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a gain of $556 million in connection with the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. The gain resulted in domestic income tax expense of $161 million. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 would have been 9.9% without the discrete income tax expense of $161 million resulting from the sale of Sands Bethlehem. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, would have been 10.0% without the discrete benefit of $670 million, as discussed further below.
In December 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), which made significant changes to U.S. income tax laws, including transitioning from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. This change in the U.S. international tax system included the introduction of several new tax regimes effective as of January 1, 2018. One of the new taxes introduced is the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), which effectively taxes the foreign earnings of U.S. multinational companies at 10.5%, half of the current corporate tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company concluded how the foreign tax credits associated with this income, and allowed against the U.S. tax liability, would be utilized and the potential impact on the foreign tax credit deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash tax benefit of $670 million relating to the reduction of the valuation allowance on certain U.S. foreign tax credit assets generated prior to 2018 previously determined not likely to be utilized. In November 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued guidance clarifying the implementation of GILTI and other provisions, which impacted the foreign tax credit utilization and required an increase of a valuation allowance related to the Company's historical foreign tax credits. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash expense of $727 million during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

In April 2019, Venetian Macau Limited ("VML") entered into an agreement with the Macao government, which is effective through June 26, 2022, and provides for an annual payment of 38 million patacas (approximately $5 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2019) as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is involved in other litigation in addition to those noted below, arising in the normal course of business. Management has made certain estimates for potential litigation costs based upon consultation with legal counsel. Actual results could differ from these estimates; however, in the opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited v. Venetian Macau Limited, et al.
On January 19, 2012, Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited ("AAEC") filed a claim (the "Macao action") with the Macao Judicial Court (Tribunal Judicial de Base) against VML, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. ("LVS (Nevada)"), Las Vegas Sands, LLC ("LVSLLC") and Venetian Casino Resort, LLC ("VCR") (collectively, the "Defendants"). The claim is for 3.0 billion patacas (approximately $373 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2019) as compensation for damages resulting from the alleged breach of agreements entered into between AAEC and LVS (Nevada), LVSLLC and VCR (collectively, the "U.S. Defendants") for their joint presentation of a bid in response to the public tender held by the Macao government for the award of gaming concessions at the end of 2001. On July 4, 2012, the Defendants filed their defense to the Macao action with the Macao Judicial Court. AAEC then filed a reply that included several amendments to the original claim, although the amount of the claim was not amended. On January 4, 2013, the Defendants filed an amended defense to the amended claim with the Macao Judicial Court. On September 23, 2013, the U.S. Defendants filed a motion with the Macao Second Instance Court, seeking recognition and enforcement of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in the Prior Action, referred to below, given on April 10, 2009, which partially dismissed AAEC's claims against the U.S. Defendants.
On March 24, 2014, the Macao Judicial Court issued a Decision (Despacho Seneador) holding that AAEC's claim against VML is unfounded and that VML be removed as a party to the proceedings, and the claim should proceed exclusively against the U.S. Defendants. On May 8, 2014, AAEC lodged an appeal against that decision. The Macao Judicial Court further held that the existence of the pending application for recognition and enforcement of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling before the Macao Second Instance Court did not justify a stay of the proceedings against the U.S. Defendants at the present time, although in principle an application for a stay of the proceedings against the U.S. Defendants could be reviewed after the Macao Second Instance Court had issued its decision. On June 25, 2014, the Macao Second Instance Court delivered a decision, which gave formal recognition to and allowed enforcement in Macao of the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals, dismissing AAEC's claims against the U.S. Defendants.
AAEC appealed against the recognition decision to the Macao Court of Final Appeal, which, on May 6, 2015, dismissed the appeal and held the U.S. judgment to be final and have preclusive effect. The Macao Court of Final Appeal's decision became final on May 21, 2015. On June 5, 2015, the U.S. Defendants applied to the Macao Judicial Court to dismiss the claims against them as res judicata. AAEC filed its response to that application on June 30, 2015. The U.S. Defendants filed their reply on July 23, 2015. On September 14, 2015, the Macao Judicial Court admitted two further legal opinions from Portuguese and U.S. law experts. On March 16, 2016, the Macao Judicial Court dismissed the defense of res judicata. An appeal against that decision was lodged on April 7, 2016, together with a request that the appeal be heard immediately. By a decision dated April 13, 2016, the Macao Judicial Court accepted that the appeal be heard immediately. Legal arguments were submitted May 23, 2016. AAEC replied to the legal arguments on or about July 14, 2016, which was three days late, upon payment of a penalty. The U.S. Defendants submitted a response on September 20, 2016. On December 13, 2016, the Macao Judicial Court confirmed its earlier decision not to stay the proceedings pending appeal. As of the end of December 2016, all appeals (including VML's dismissal and the res judicata appeals) were being transferred to the Macao Second Instance Court. On May 11, 2017, the Macao Second Instance Court notified the parties of its decision of refusal to deal with the appeals at the present time. The Macao

Second Instance Court ordered the court file be transferred back to the Macao Judicial Court. Evidence gathering by the Macao Judicial Court commenced by letters rogatory. On June 30, 2017, the Macao Judicial Court sent letters rogatory to the Public Prosecutor's office, for onward transmission to relevant authorities in the U.S. and Hong Kong. On August 10, 2017, the Hong Kong Mutual Legal Assistance Unit, International Law Division, Hong Kong Department of Justice ("HKMLAU") responded to the Public Prosecutor and requested additional information. On August 18, 2017, the Public Prosecutor forwarded the HKMLAU request to the Macao Judicial Court. On November 14, 2017, the Public Prosecutor replied to the HKMLAU. The HKMLAU sent a further communication to the Public Prosecutor on November 29, 2017, again requesting the Macao Judicial Court provide further information to enable processing of the Hong Kong letter rogatory. On January 6, 2018, the Macao Judicial Court notified the parties accordingly. On February 10, 2018, the Macao Judicial Court notified the parties that a communication dated January 25, 2018, had been received from the U.S. Department of Justice. The Macao Judicial Court extended the time for processing the letters rogatory until the end of June 2018. On May 7, 2018, the Macao Judicial Court further extended the time for processing one of the letters rogatory until mid-September 2018, which was further extended until early 2019. On March 14, 2019, the outstanding letter rogatory was returned executed. On July 15, 2019, AAEC submitted a request to the Macao Judicial Court to increase the amount of its claim to 96.45 billion patacas (approximately $11.98 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2019), allegedly representing lost profits from 2004 to 2018, and reserving its right to claim for lost profits up to 2022 in due course at the enforcement stage.The trial of this matter has been scheduled by the Macao Judicial Court for September 2019.
On March 25, 2015, application was made by the U.S. Defendants to the Macao Judicial Court to revoke the legal aid granted to AAEC, accompanied by a request for evidence taking from AAEC, relating to the fees and expenses that they incurred and paid in the U.S. subsequent action referred to below. The Macao Public Prosecutor has opposed the action on the ground of lack of evidence that AAEC's financial position has improved. No decision has been issued in respect to that application up to the present time. A complaint against AAEC's Macao lawyer arising from certain conduct in relation to recent U.S. proceedings was submitted to the Macao Lawyer's Association on October 19, 2015. A letter dated February 26, 2016, has been received from the Conselho Superior de Advocacia of the Macao Bar Association advising that disciplinary proceedings have commenced. A further letter dated April 5, 2016, was received from the Conselho Superior de Advocacia requesting confirmation that the signatories of the complaint were acting within their corporate authority. In a letter dated April 14, 2016, such confirmation was provided. On September 28, 2016, the Conselho Superior de Advocacia invited comments on the defense, which had been lodged by AAEC's Macao lawyer.
On July 9, 2014, the plaintiff filed another action in the U.S. District Court against LVSC, LVSLLC, VCR (collectively, the "LVSC entities"), Sheldon G. Adelson, William P. Weidner, David Friedman and Does 1-50 for declaratory judgment, equitable accounting, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of confidence and conversion based on a theory of copyright law. The claim is for $5.0 billion. On November 4, 2014, plaintiff finally effected notice on the LVSC entities, which was followed by a motion to dismiss by the LVSC entities on November 10, 2014. Plaintiff failed to timely respond, and on December 2, 2014, the LVSC entities moved for immediate dismissal and sanctions against plaintiff and his counsel for bringing a frivolous lawsuit. On December 19, 2014, plaintiff filed an incomplete and untimely response, which was followed by plaintiff's December 27, 2014 notice of withdrawal of the lawsuit and the LVSC entities' December 29, 2014, reply in favor of sanctions and dismissal with prejudice. On August 31, 2015, the judge dismissed the U.S. action and the LVSC entities' sanctions motion. The Macao action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.
As previously disclosed by the Company, on February 5, 2007, AAEC brought a similar claim (the "Prior Action") in the U.S. District Court, against LVSI (now known as LVSLLC), VCR and Venetian Venture Development, LLC, which are subsidiaries of the Company, and William P. Weidner and David Friedman, who are former executives of the Company. The U.S. District Court entered an order on April 16, 2010, dismissing the Prior Action. On April 20, 2012, LVSLLC, VCR and LVS (Nevada) filed an injunctive action (the "Nevada Action") against AAEC in the U.S. District Court seeking to enjoin AAEC from proceeding with the Macao Action based on AAEC's filing, and the U.S.

Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of its operations with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated

Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, consolidated adjusted property EBITDA as presented by the Company may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Note 8 — Leases
Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
Finance and operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company’s lease arrangements have lease and non-lease components. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company accounts for the lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate). Leases, in which the Company is the lessor, are substantially all accounted for as operating leases and the lease components and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
Lessee
The Company has operating and finance leases for various real estate (including the Macao and Singapore leasehold interests in land) and equipment. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of sales over specified contractual amounts, rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation and rental payments based on usage. The Company’s leases include options to extend the lease term one month to 40 years. Land concessions in Macao generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macao law. The Company anticipates a useful life of 50 years related to the land concessions in Macao. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Leases recorded on the balance sheet consist of the following (excluding the Macao and Singapore leasehold interests in land assets):

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Operations
We view each of our Integrated Resort properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in the Macao Special Administrative Region ("Macao") of the People's Republic of China consist of The Venetian Macao; Sands Cotai Central; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands. Our operating segments in the U.S. consist of the Las Vegas Operating Properties, which includes The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo Center, and Sands Bethlehem.
On May 31, 2019, we closed the sale of Sands Bethlehem in Pennsylvania. At closing, we received $1.16 billion in net cash proceeds and recorded a gain on the sale of $556 million.
In April 2019, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”), and the Singapore Tourism Board (the “STB”) entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) pursuant to which MBS will construct a development, which will include a hotel tower with a rooftop attraction, convention and meeting facilities and a state-of-the-art live entertainment arena with a seating capacity of at least 15,000 persons (the “MBS Expansion Project”). The Development Agreement provides for a total project cost of approximately 4.5 billion Singapore dollars (“SGD,” approximately $3.3 billion at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction). The amount of the total project cost will be finalized as we complete design and development and begin construction. In connection with the Development Agreement, MBS entered into a lease with the STB for the parcels of land underlying the project. In April 2019 and in connection with the lease, MBS provided various governmental agencies in Singapore the required premiums, deposits, stamp duty, goods and services tax and other fees in an aggregate amount of approximately SGD 1.54 billion (approximately $1.14 billion at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction).
We are currently conducting a process to amend, extend and upsize our 2012 Singapore Credit Facility to provide for the financing of the development and construction costs, fees and other expenses related to the MBS Expansion Project pursuant to the Development Agreement. We anticipate entering into a new delayed draw term loan facility with an estimated size of approximately $2.77 billion as well as obtaining an increase in commitments under the existing revolving credit facility of up to an estimated $185 million, subject to market conditions. We currently expect that drawings under the new delayed draw term loan facility would be made from time to time through December 31, 2024, depending on the timing of construction. While we currently estimate that we will be able to complete this process in the next three months, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so within our anticipated timeframe, if at all. In addition, our current estimates with respect to the anticipated size of the facilities and the timing and amounts of drawings under the facilities are subject to change and will depend on a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control.
In April 2019, we paid SGD 72 million (approximately $53 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) to the Singapore Casino Regulatory Authority as part of the process to renew our gaming license at Marina Bay Sands, which gaming license now expires in April 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" presented in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2019.
There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2019, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2018 Annual Report.

Operating Results
Key Operating Revenue Measurements
Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem are principally driven by gaming patrons who visit the properties on a daily basis.
The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:
Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop ("drop"), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle ("handle"), also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.
We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip win percentage is expected to be 3.0% to 3.3% in Macao and Singapore, and our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 25.8%, 22.2%, 22.6%, 24.7%, 18.0% and 21.1% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage of 4.5%, 4.0%, 3.3%, 5.6%, 3.2% and 4.5% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win and hold percentages may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 14.7% and 22.3%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: The volume measurements in the U.S. are slot handle, as previously described, and table games drop, which is the total amount of cash and net markers issued deposited in the table drop box. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of handle. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Based upon our mix of table games, our table games are expected to produce a win percentage of 18% to 26% for Baccarat and 16% to 24% for non-Baccarat. Table games at Sands Bethlehem produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 18.9%. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage of 8.3% and 6.3% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and at Sands Bethlehem, respectively. Actual win and hold percentages may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Similar to Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Approximately 64.9% of our table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was conducted on a credit basis, while our table games play in Pennsylvania was primarily conducted on a cash basis.
Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period and average daily room rate ("ADR," a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements. The calculations of the occupancy

23

Table of Contents

rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be re-sold to walk-in guests.
Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area ("GLOA") divided by gross leasable area ("GLA") at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
Summary Financial Results
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019, increased 0.9% to $3.33 billion, compared to $3.30 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and operating income increased 12.2% to $894 million compared to $797 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net revenues resulted from stronger operating performance at our Las Vegas Operating Properties due to a 15.9% increase in revenues and the increase in operating income due to a loss on disposal of assets in the prior year period. Net income increased 63.9% to $1.11 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $676 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase resulted primarily from the gain on sale of Sands Bethlehem of $556 million. Adjusted property EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2019, increased 3.3% to $1.27 billion, compared to $1.23 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Consolidated net revenues were $3.33 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $31 million compared to $3.30 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $64 million and $29 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and our Macao operations, respectively, primarily due to increased casino revenues. The increase was partially offset by a $46 million decrease in revenues due to the sale of Sands Bethlehem in May 2019 and a $17 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, primarily due to decreased casino revenues.

Table of Contents

Net casino revenues increased $15 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $52 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, primarily driven by increases in table games drop and win percentage, and a $29 million increase at our Macao properties, primarily driven by an increase in Non-Rolling Chip win. This was partially offset by a $40 million decrease at Sands Bethlehem due to the sale closing on May 31, 2019, and a $26 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, driven by decreases in Non-Rolling Chip win and Rolling Chip win percentage.

We completed the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. Results of operations include Sands Bethlehem through May 30, 2019.
In our experience, average win percentages remain fairly consistent when measured over extended periods of time with a significant volume of wagers, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.
Room revenues increased $11 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases of $7 million and $4 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and The Parisian Macao, respectively, driven by an increase in ADR. The following table summarizes the results of our room activity:

Operating expenses were $2.44 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $66 million compared to $2.51 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by the loss on disposal or impairment of assets of $105 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. This was partially offset by increases in general and administrative expense, corporate expense and depreciation and amortization expense.
Casino expenses decreased $22 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $27 million decrease at Sands Bethlehem due to the sale closing in May 2019.
The provision for doubtful accounts was consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2018. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the customers who owe us money from gaming activities. We believe the amount of our provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.
General and administrative expenses increased $8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a $6 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, resulting from increased property taxes and repairs and maintenance costs.
Corporate expenses increased $18 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to legal fee insurance recoveries during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Pre-opening expenses represents personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses increased $8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the opening of new venues at Marina Bay Sands and our on-going development projects in Macao. Development expenses include the costs associated with the Company's evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, which are also expensed as incurred.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $15 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by a $10 million increase due to the acceleration of depreciation on certain assets to be replaced in conjunction with The Londoner Macao project.
The loss on disposal or impairment of assets of $105 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, consisted primarily of a $92 million write-off of costs related to the Four Seasons Tower Suites Macao project.

Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is net income before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of its operations with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Integrated Resorts is primarily driven by our casino and room operations.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $15 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by a $25 million increase at The Parisian Macao, due to an increase in Non-Rolling Chip win, an $11 million increase at The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, driven by increases in

Table of Contents

Rolling Chip volume and win percentage, and a $5 million increase at The Venetian Macao, driven by increases in Rolling Chip win percentage and Non-Rolling Chip win. The increase was partially offset by an $11 million decrease at Sands Cotai Central, primarily driven by decreases in Rolling Chip volume and win percentage, a $9 million decrease at Sands Macao, driven by decreases in Rolling Chip volume and win percentage, and a $6 million decrease in our ferry operations, resulting from a lower level of passengers due to the opening of the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai bridge in October 2018.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands decreased $22 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. As previously described, the decrease was primarily due to decreased casino revenues, driven by decreases in Non-Rolling Chip win and Rolling Chip win percentage, partially offset by increased food and beverage revenues.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $59 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. As previously described, the increase was primarily driven by increases in table games drop and win percentage, and an increase in room revenues due to an increase in ADR.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem was $19 million during the sixty days ended May 30, 2019.

Interest cost increased $51 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, resulting primarily from increases in our weighted average interest rate and weighted average total debt balance. The increase in our weighted average interest rate was due to the issuance of the SCL Senior Notes. Our weighted average total debt balance increased in connection with the issuance of the SCL Senior Notes in August 2018 and additional borrowings on our U.S. Credit Facility in June 2018.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Other income was $20 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $44 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2019, was attributable to $21 million of foreign currency transaction gains, driven by U.S. dollar denominated debt held by SCL and Singapore dollar denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars, resulting from the appreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the Singapore dollar during the period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a gain of $556 million in connection with the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. The gain resulted in income tax expense of $161 million.
Our effective income tax rate was 17.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 10.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax for our domestic operations, a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao and the income tax expense associated with the sale of Sands Bethlehem. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 would have been 9.6% without the discrete income tax expense of $161 million resulting from the sale of Sands Bethlehem.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $154 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $120 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Summary Financial Results
Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019, increased 1.4% to $6.98 billion, compared to $6.88 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and operating income decreased 4.6% to $1.87 billion compared to $1.96 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net revenues resulted from increases of 6.6% and 4.7% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and our Macao operations, respectively, due to stronger overall operating performances. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by lower Rolling Chip win percentage in Singapore, a nonrecurring legal settlement and an increase in depreciation and amortization. Net income decreased 19.2% to $1.85 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2.29 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease resulted from the decrease in operating income, income tax expense of $321 million compared to an income tax benefit of $490 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a $102 million increase in interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, partially offset by the gain on sale of Sands Bethlehem of $556 million. Adjusted property EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019, decreased 0.3% to $2.72 billion, compared to $2.73 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Consolidated net revenues were $6.98 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $98 million compared to $6.88 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by a $203 million increase from our Macao operations, primarily due to increased casino revenues and a $58 million increase from our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by increased casino and room revenues. This was partially offset by a $122 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, primarily driven by decreased casino revenues, and a $43 million decrease at Sands Bethlehem due to the sale closing on May 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

Net casino revenues increased $77 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to a $204 million increase at our Macao operating properties, driven by an increase in Non-Rolling Chip win, and a $45 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, primarily driven by increases in table games drop and win percentage. The increase was partially offset by a $134 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, driven by decreases in Rolling win percentage and Non-Rolling Chip win, and a $38 million decrease at Sands Bethlehem due to the sale closing on May 31, 2019.

Room revenues increased $16 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to increases of $8 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by an increase in ADR, and $7 million at our Macao operating properties, driven by increased occupancy and ADR.

We completed the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. Results of operations include Sands Bethlehem through May 30, 2019.
Food and beverage revenues increased $9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to an $8 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by the opening of new restaurants and a night club.
Mall revenues increased $6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases of $9 million at the Shoppes at Venetian and $3 million at the Shoppes at Cotai Central, driven by increases in base rent and management fees, as well as additional retail space available at Sands Cotai Central. The increase was partially offset by a $4 million decrease at the Shoppes at Parisian, driven by a decrease in base rent. For further information related to the financial performance of our malls, see "Additional Information Regarding our Retail Mall Operations."

Convention, retail and other revenues decreased $10 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in our ferry operations, resulting from a lower level of ferry passengers due to the opening of the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai bridge in October 2018

Operating expenses were $5.12 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $188 million compared to $4.93 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by a nonrecurring legal settlement and an increase in casino expenses at our Macao operating properties due to increased casino revenues.
Casino expenses increased $46 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $78 million increase at our Macao operating properties, driven by an increase in gaming taxes due to increased casino revenues, partially offset by a $28 million decrease at Sands Bethlehem due to the sale closing on May 31, 2019.
The provision for doubtful accounts was $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the recovery of doubtful accounts of $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase resulted from increased collections of previously reserved customer balances during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the customers who owe us money from gaming activities at any given time. We believe the amount of our provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.
Corporate expenses increased $114 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a nonrecurring legal settlement.
Pre-opening expenses represents personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses increased $11 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the opening of new venues at Marina Bay Sands and our on-going development projects in Macao.

Table of Contents

Development expenses include the costs associated with the Company's evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, which are also expensed as incurred.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $52 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by a $45 million increase due to the acceleration of depreciation on certain assets to be disposed of in conjunction with The Londoner Macao project.
The loss on disposal or impairment of assets of $110 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, consisted primarily of a $92 million write-off of costs related to the Four Seasons Tower Suites Macao project.

We completed the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. Results of operations include Sands Bethlehem through May 30, 2019.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Integrated Resorts is primarily driven by our casino and room operations, as previously discussed.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $84 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by a $72 million increase at The Parisian Macao, due to increases in Non-Rolling Chip win and Rolling Chip win percentage, a $23 million increase at The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, driven by increases in Rolling Chip volume and win percentage and an $18 million increase at The Venetian Macao, resulting from an increase in Non-Rolling Chip win. The increase was partially offset by a $16 million decrease at Sands Macao, driven by decreases in Rolling Chip win percentage and Non-Rolling Chip win percentage, and a $13 million decrease in our ferry operations, resulting from a lower level of ferry passengers due to the opening of the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai bridge in October 2018.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands decreased $140 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to decreased casino revenues, driven by decreases in Rolling Chip win percentage and Non-Rolling Chip win, and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts, driven by collections on previously reserved customer balances during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $56 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. As previously described, the increase was primarily due to increased casino revenues,

primarily driven by increases in table games drop and win percentage, and increased room revenues, resulting from an increase in ADR.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem decreased $7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, resulting from the sale of the property closing on May 31, 2019.

Interest cost increased $104 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, resulting primarily from increases in our weighted average interest rate and weighted average total debt balance. The increase in our weighted average interest rate was due to the issuance of the SCL Senior Notes. Our weighted average total debt balance increased in connection with the issuance of the SCL Senior Notes in August 2018 and additional borrowings on our U.S. Credit Facility in June 2018.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Other expense was $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to other income of $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Other expense during the six months ended June 30, 2019, included foreign currency transaction losses on Singapore dollar denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars, offset by foreign currency transaction gains, driven by U.S. dollar denominated debt held by SCL.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a gain of $556 million in connection with the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. The gain resulted in income tax expense of $161 million.
Our effective income tax rate was 14.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to (27.2)% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate on our U.S. operations, a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao and the impact of the gain in connection with the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019, would have been 9.9% without the discrete income tax expense of $161 million resulting from the sale of Sands Bethlehem. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily driven by a non-cash tax benefit of $670 million due to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in the U.S. in December 2017 on the valuation allowance related to certain of our tax attributes. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, would have been 10.0% without the discrete benefit of $670 million (see "Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 5 — Income Taxes").
The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $316 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $280 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.
Additional Information Regarding our Retail Mall Operations
We own and operate retail malls at our Integrated Resorts at The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao, Sands Macao, Marina Bay Sands and Sands Bethlehem

(which was sold in May 2019). Management believes being in the retail mall business and, specifically, owning some of the largest retail properties in Asia will provide meaningful value for us, particularly as the retail market in Asia continues to grow.
Our malls are designed to complement our other unique amenities and service offerings provided by our Integrated Resorts. Our strategy is to seek out desirable tenants that appeal to our customers and provide a wide variety of shopping options. We generate our mall revenues primarily from leases with tenants through minimum base rents, overage rents, and reimbursements for common area maintenance ("CAM") and other expenditures.

____________________
Note:
This table excludes the results of our mall operations at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem.
(1)
Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.
(2)
Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. Each property is also eligible to obtain an additional six-year exemption, provided certain qualifications are met. To date, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao and The Parisian Macao have obtained a second exemption, extending the property tax exemption to July 2019, July 2020 and August 2028, respectively. Under the initial exemption, Sands Cotai Central has a distinct exemption for each hotel tower with expiration dates that range from March 2018 to November 2021. The Company is currently working on obtaining the second exemption for Sands Cotai Central.
(3)
Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for doubtful accounts, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.
It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income ("NOI") as a useful supplemental measure of a mall's operating performance. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure

that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.
In the tables above, we believe taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.
Development Projects
We are constantly evaluating opportunities to improve our product offerings, such as refreshing our meeting and convention facilities, suites and rooms, retail malls, restaurant and nightlife mix and our gaming areas, as well as other anticipated revenue generating additions to our Integrated Resorts.
Macao
We previously announced the renovation, expansion and rebranding of Sands Cotai Central into a new destination Integrated Resort, The Londoner Macao, by adding extensive thematic elements both externally and internally. The Londoner Macao will feature new attractions and features from London, including some of London’s most recognizable landmarks, such as the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. The expanded retail will be rebranded to the Shoppes at Londoner and we will add new food and beverage venues. We will add approximately 370 luxury suites within the tower also occupied by the St. Regis hotel. Design work is nearing completion and construction is being initiated and will be phased to minimize disruption during the property’s peak periods. We expect the additional suites within the tower also occupied by the St. Regis hotel to be completed in late 2020 and The Londoner Macao project to be completed in phases throughout 2020 and 2021.
We also previously announced the Four Seasons Tower Suites Macao, which will feature approximately 290 additional premium quality suites. We have completed the structural work of the tower and have commenced preliminary build out of the suites. We expect the project to be completed in the first quarter of 2020.
We anticipate the total costs associated with these development projects to be approximately $2.2 billion. The ultimate costs and completion dates for these projects are subject to change as we finalize our planning and design work and complete the projects.
Singapore
In April 2019, our wholly owned subsidiary, MBS, and the STB entered into the Development Agreement pursuant to which MBS will construct a development, which will include a hotel tower with a rooftop attraction, convention and meeting facilities and a state-of-the-art live entertainment arena with a seating capacity of at least 15,000 persons. The Development Agreement provides for a total project cost of approximately SGD 4.5 billion (approximately $3.3 billion at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction). The amount of the total project cost will be finalized as we complete design and development and begin construction. In connection with the Development Agreement, MBS entered into a lease with the STB for the parcels of land underlying the project. In April 2019 and in connection with the lease, MBS provided various governmental agencies in Singapore the required premiums, deposits, stamp duty, goods and services tax and other fees in an aggregate amount of approximately SGD 1.54 billion (approximately $1.14 billion at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction).
We are currently conducting a process to amend, extend and upsize our 2012 Singapore Credit Facility to provide for the financing of the development and construction costs, fees and other expenses related to the MBS Expansion Project pursuant to the Development Agreement. We anticipate entering into a new delayed draw term loan facility with an estimated size of approximately $2.77 billion as well as obtaining an increase in commitments under the existing revolving credit facility of up to an estimated $185 million, subject to market conditions. We currently expect that drawings under the new delayed draw term loan facility would be made from time to time through December 31, 2024, depending on the timing of construction. While we currently estimate that we will be able to complete this process in the next three months, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so within our anticipated timeframe, if at all. In addition, our current estimates with respect to the anticipated size of the facilities and the timing and amounts of drawings under the facilities are subject to change and will depend on a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities
Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis, while slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. Our rooms, food and beverage and other non-gaming revenues are conducted primarily on a cash basis or as a trade receivable, resulting in operating cash flows being generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable. Net cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019, decreased $1.61 billion compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The factors driving the decrease in operating cash flows were the land lease payment made in Singapore in connection with the MBS Expansion Project, a nonrecurring legal settlement and increased interest costs as explained above, partially offset by an overall increase in revenues. Other impacts versus the prior year was a decrease in our working capital due to increased patron receivables and lower levels of deposits from gaming customers and outstanding chips.
Cash Flows — Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2019, totaled $453 million, including $227 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted primarily of $109 million for Sands Cotai Central related primarily to the The Londoner Macao, $60 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao related primarily to the Four Seasons Tower Suites Macao, $38 million for The Venetian Macao and $14 million for The Parisian Macao; $98 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; $77 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties; and $49 million for corporate and other.
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2018, totaled $416 million, including $220 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted primarily of $69 million for The Venetian Macao, $68 million for The Parisian Macao and $53 million for Sands Cotai Central; $72 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; $58 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties; and $54 million for corporate and other.

Table of Contents

Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received $1.16 billion in net cash proceeds from the sale of Sands Bethlehem in Pennsylvania and paid approximately $53 million as part of the process to renew our Singapore gaming license.
Cash Flows — Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $2.19 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily attributable to $1.82 billion in dividend payments, $354 million in common stock repurchases and net repayments of $51 million on our various credit facilities.
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $168 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily attributable to $1.80 billion in dividend payments and $175 million in common stock repurchases, partially offset by net proceeds of $1.78 billion on our various credit facilities, and proceeds of $70 million from the exercise of stock options.
Capital Financing Overview
We fund our development projects primarily through borrowings from our debt instruments (see, "Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Long-Term Debt") and operating cash flows.
Our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants, which include maintaining a maximum leverage ratio or net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined. As of June 30, 2019, our U.S., SCL and Singapore leverage ratios, as defined per the respective credit facility agreements, were 1.1x, 1.8x and 2.1x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 5.5x, 4.0x and 4.0x, respectively.
We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.02 billion and restricted cash of approximately $14 million as of June 30, 2019, of which approximately $2.85 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.85 billion, approximately $2.32 billion is available to be repatriated to the U.S. and we do not expect withholding taxes or other foreign income taxes to apply should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise. The remaining unrestricted amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are not available for repatriation primarily due to dividend requirements to third-party public shareholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL. We believe the cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations, as well as the $3.41 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit, as of June 30, 2019, will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities, debt obligations and dividend commitments. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate global capital markets to consider future opportunities for enhancements of our capital structure.
On February 22, 2019, SCL paid a dividend of 0.99 Hong Kong dollars ("HKD") per share to SCL shareholders, and, on May 24, 2019, SCL shareholders approved a dividend of HKD 1.00 per share, which was paid on June 21, 2019 (a total of $2.05 billion, of which we retained $1.44 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019).
On March 28 and June 27, 2019, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.77 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program and, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, recorded $1.19 billion as a distribution against retained earnings. In July 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.77 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $593 million) to be paid on September 26, 2019, to shareholders of record on September 18, 2019.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 6,052,531 shares of our common stock for $354 million (including commissions) under this program. All share repurchases of our common stock are recorded as treasury stock. As of June 30, 2019, we have remaining authorization to repurchase $1.32 billion of our outstanding common shares.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposures to market risk are interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt and interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our operations outside the United States, which we may manage through the use of futures, options, caps, forward contracts and similar instruments. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions. Our derivative financial instruments currently consist of interest rate swap contracts on certain fixed-rate long-term debt, which have been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
As of June 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $12.42 billion, compared to its contractual value of $12.10 billion. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is based on level 2 inputs (quoted prices in markets that are not active). A hypothetical 100 basis point change in market rates would cause the fair value of our long-term debt to change by $379 million, inclusive of the impact from the interest rate swaps. A

46

Table of Contents

hypothetical 100 basis point change in LIBOR and SOR would cause our annual interest cost on our long-term debt to change by approximately $121 million.
The total notional amount of our fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps was $5.50 billion as of June 30, 2019. The fair value of the interest rate swaps, on a stand-alone basis, as of June 30, 2019, was an asset of $94 million. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in LIBOR would cause the fair value of the interest rate swaps to change by approximately $62 million.
We maintain a significant amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have obligations thereby reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/SGD and U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rates. Based on balances as of June 30, 2019, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar/SGD exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $40 million, and a hypothetical 1% weakening of the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $47 million. The pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar (within a range).
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Company as of June 30, 2019, and have concluded they are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
It should be noted any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that had a material effect, or were reasonably likely to have a material effect, on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
