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, 2019, 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.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In early January 2020, an outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus was identified and the disease has since spread rapidly across the world causing the World Health Organization to declare the outbreak of a pandemic on March 12, 2020 (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). As a result, people across the globe were advised to avoid non-essential travel. Steps were also taken by various countries, including those in which we operate, to restrict inbound international travel and implement closures of non-essential operations to contain the spread of the virus.
Macao
Visitation to Macao has decreased substantially, driven by various government policies limiting travel. The China Individual Visit Scheme to Macao (“China IVS”) and group tour schemes were suspended, and a complete ban on entry, or a need to undergo enhanced quarantine requirements depending on the person’s residency and their recent travel history, had been enacted by the government for Macao residents, residents of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong residents, foreigner workers residing in Macao and international travelers. The China IVS and group tour scheme recommenced for certain regions beginning on August 12, 2020 and were extended to all of mainland China effective September 23, 2020. All China residents with the appropriate travel documents, a negative COVID-19 test result and a green health-code are exempt from quarantine. Hong Kong and Taiwan residents who have not visited a foreign country in the prior 14 days and tested negative for COVID-19 are allowed to enter Macao subject to a mandatory 14 days of centralized isolation. All other foreign nationals, including those holding a temporary work permit, currently are not permitted to enter Macao.
The Macao government suspended all gaming operations beginning on February 5, 2020. The Company’s Macao casino operations resumed on February 20, 2020, except for operations at Sands Cotai Central, which resumed on February 27, 2020. Additional health safeguards, such as the requirement to present a negative COVID-19 test certificate prior to entering the casino, have been implemented, as well as the ongoing limitation on the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks and mandatory mask protection. The Company is currently unable to determine when these measures will be modified or cease to be necessary.
Some of the Company’s Macao hotel facilities were also closed during the casino suspension in response to the drop in visitation and, with the exception of the Conrad Macao Cotai Strip at Sands Cotai Central (the “Conrad hotel”) which reopened on June 13, 2020, these hotels were gradually reopened from February 20, 2020. Additionally, from March 28 through April 30, 2020 and from June 7 through August 14, 2020, in support of the Macao government’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company provided one tower (approximately 2,000 hotel rooms) at the Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel, Cotai Strip at Sands Cotai Central to the Macao government to house individuals who return to Macao for quarantine purposes.
Restaurants across the Company’s Macao properties are progressively reopening as guest visitation increases. The majority of retail outlets in the Company’s various shopping malls are open with reduced operating hours. The timing and manner in which these areas will return to full operation are currently unknown.

(UNAUDITED)
The Hong Kong government temporarily closed the Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal in Kowloon on January 30, 2020, and the Hong Kong Macao Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong on February 4, 2020. In response, the Company suspended its Macao ferry operations between Macao and Hong Kong. The timing and manner in which the Company’s normal ferry operations will be able to resume are currently unknown.
Our operations in Macao have been significantly impacted by the lack of visitation to Macao. The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao decreased 69.2% and 99.3% for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and decreased by 97.4% and 92.4% in July and August 2020, as compared to the same periods in 2019. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue decreased by 82.5% in the nine months ended September 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.
Singapore
Beginning on April 7, 2020, the Singapore government suspended all casino and non-essential operations, including all operations at Marina Bay Sands, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company’s Singapore operations were permitted to reopen beginning on June 19, 2020; however, this only included certain restaurants and the retail mall operations. The casino operations reopened on July 1, 2020; however, entry was initially limited to annual levy holders and certain Sands Rewards Club (“SRC”) members. As of July 9, 2020, the casino opened to all SRC members. All operations are currently subject to limited capacities.
On May 28, 2020, in support of the Singapore government’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, Marina Bay Sands entered into an agreement with the Singapore government to utilize all three hotel towers to house Singapore residents upon their initial return from other jurisdictions for quarantine. The government’s use of the first tower ceased on June 26, 2020, while usage of the second and third towers continued through July 26, 2020. Beginning on July 17, 2020, the first tower reopened for normal operations, while the second and third towers reopened on August 1, 2020. On September 7, 2020, the Singapore Tourism Board announced that event organizers are allowed to apply for pilot events with limited capacities of up to 250 attendees from October 1, 2020. The date on which nightlife venues may reopen is unknown at this time.
In the months leading up to the closure, visitation to Marina Bay Sands declined. The Singapore Tourism Board announced for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, total visitation to Singapore decreased approximately 43.2% and 100%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. Total visitation decreased by approximately 99.6% and 99.5% in July and August 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019.
Las Vegas
On March 17, 2020, the Nevada government suspended all casino and non-essential operations, including all operations at the Las Vegas Operating Properties, beginning on March 18, 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. On May 28, 2020, the Nevada government announced casinos could reopen on June 4, 2020, under strict guidelines issued by the Gaming Control Board and the State of Nevada. The Company reopened the casino, suites within The Venetian Tower and The Palazzo Tower, and select food and beverage outlets on June 4, 2020, with certain operations subject to reduced capacity. Beginning October 1, 2020, the limit for both public and private events was increased from 50 people to the lesser of 250 people or 50% of the room’s capacity (excluding employees, organizers and performers) provided social distancing measures and various safety and related protocols can be followed. Meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (“MICE”) for more than 250 people, but no more than 1,000 people, may be held subject to certain requirements. Larger venues, defined as having more than a 2,500 fixed-seating capacity, may host a gathering of 10% of their total capacity provided they meet additional requirements.
Visitation to the Company’s Las Vegas Operating Properties declined in the months leading up to the closure. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, visitation to Las Vegas decreased 18.3% and 87.8%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. Total visitation decreased by 61% and 57% in July and August 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority also announced for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, gross gaming revenue for the Las Vegas Strip decreased 12.4% and 84.8%, respectively, as compared to

the same periods in 2019. Total gross gaming revenue decreased by 39.2% in July and August 2020, as compared to the same periods in 2019.
Summary
The disruptions arising from the COVID-19 Pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The duration and intensity of this global health emergency and related disruptions are uncertain. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in 2020 will be material, but cannot be reasonably estimated at this time as it is unknown when the COVID-19 Pandemic will end, when or how quickly the current travel and operational restrictions will be modified or cease to be necessary and the resulting impact on the Company’s business and the willingness of tourism customers to spend on travel and entertainment and business customers to spend on MICE.
While each of the Company’s properties are currently open and operating at reduced levels due to lower visitation and the implementation of required safety measures, the current economic and regulatory environment on a global basis and in each of the Company’s jurisdictions continues to evolve. The Company cannot predict the manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of COVID-19 changes over time, which could significantly alter the Company’s current operations.
The Company has a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total cash and cash equivalents balance, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents, of $2.38 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $2.02 billion and $433 million of available borrowing capacity from the LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Revolving Facility and the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, and 3.69 billion Singapore dollars (“SGD,” approximately $2.69 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020) under the Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility, exclusively for capital expenditures for the MBS Expansion Project, as of September 30, 2020. The Company also has the option to increase the total borrowing capacity under the 2018 SCL Revolving Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion, for an aggregate total available borrowing capacity of up to $3.0 billion. The Company believes it is able to support continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. The Company has taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow of non-essential items.

ability to declare or pay any dividend or other distribution during the period commencing on the closing date of the amendment, through and including December 31, 2021, unless liquidity is greater than $1.0 billion on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such dividend or distribution. Pursuant to the Amendment, LVSC agreed to pay a customary fee to the lenders that consented.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $1.50 billion of available borrowing capacity under the LVSC Revolving Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit.
SCL Senior Notes
On June 4, 2020, Sands China Ltd. (“SCL”) issued, in a private offering, two series of senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.50 billion, consisting of $800 million of 3.800% Senior Notes due January 8, 2026 (the “2026 SCL Senior Notes”) and $700 million of 4.375% Senior Notes due June 18, 2030 (the “2030 SCL Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering will be used for incremental liquidity and general corporate purposes. There are no interim principal payments on the 2026 or 2030 SCL Senior Notes and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 8 and July 8, commencing on January 8, 2021, with respect to the 2026 SCL Senior Notes, and on June 18 and December 18, commencing on December 18, 2020, with respect to the 2030 SCL Senior Notes.
The 2026 and 2030 SCL Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of SCL. Each series of notes rank equally in right of payment with all of SCL’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of SCL’s future subordinated debt, if any. The notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of SCL’s future secured debt (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt) and will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of SCL’s subsidiaries. None of SCL’s subsidiaries guarantee the notes.
The 2026 and 2030 SCL Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated June 4, 2020 (the “Indenture”), between SCL and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Indenture contains covenants, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications, that limit the ability of SCL and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of SCL’s assets on a consolidated basis. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.
2018 SCL Credit Facility
On March 27, 2020, SCL entered into a waiver and amendment request letter (the “Waiver Letter”) with respect to certain provisions of the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, pursuant to which lenders (a) waived the requirements for SCL to comply with the requirements that SCL ensure the consolidated leverage ratio does not exceed 4.0x and the consolidated interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.5x for any quarterly period ending during the period beginning on, and including, January 1, 2020 and ending on, and including, July 1, 2021 (the “SCL Relevant Period”) (other than with respect to the financial year ended on December 31, 2019); (b) waived any default that may arise as a result of any breach of said requirements during the SCL Relevant Period (other than with respect to the financial year ended on December 31, 2019); and (c) extended the period of time during which SCL may supply the agent with (i) its audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended on December 31, 2019, to April 30, 2020; and (ii) its audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending on December 31, 2020, to April 30, 2021. Pursuant to the Waiver Letter, SCL agreed to pay a customary fee to the lenders that consented.
On September 11, 2020, SCL entered into a waiver extension and amendment request letter (the “Waiver Extension Letter”) with respect to certain provisions of the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, pursuant to which lenders agreed to (a) extend the SCL Relevant Period such that it ends on, and includes, January 1, 2022 instead of July 1, 2021; and (b) amend and restate the 2018 SCL Credit Facility in the form attached to the Waiver Extension Letter, which contains the following amendments: (1) it provides SCL with the option to increase the total borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion; and (2) it imposes a restriction on the ability of SCL to declare or make any dividend payment or similar distribution at any time during the period from (and including) July 1, 2020 to (and including) January 1, 2022, if at such time (x) the total borrowing capacity exceeds $2.0 billion by

operation of the increase referred to above; and (y) the maximum consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 4.0x, unless, after giving effect to such payment, the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents of SCL on such date; and (ii) the aggregate amount of the undrawn facility under the 2018 SCL Credit Facility and unused commitments under other credit facilities of SCL is greater than $2.0 billion. Pursuant to the Waiver Extension Letter, SCL agreed to pay a customary fee to the lenders that consented.
As of September 30, 2020, SCL had $2.02 billion of available borrowing capacity under the 2018 SCL Revolving Facility comprised of Hong Kong dollar commitments (13.81 billion Hong Kong dollars or “HKD,” approximately $1.78 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020) and U.S. dollar commitments ($237 million).
2012 Singapore Credit Facility
On June 18, 2020, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS” or the “Borrower”), entered into an amendment letter (the “Amendment Letter”) with DBS Bank Ltd. (“DBS”), as agent. The Amendment Letter amends the facility agreement originally dated as of June 25, 2012 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented and otherwise modified, the “Facility Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, DBS, as the agent, and the other parties thereto.
The Amendment Letter (a) modifies the financial covenant provisions under the Facility Agreement such that the Borrower will not have to comply with the leverage or interest coverage covenants for the financial quarters ending, and including, September 30, 2020 through, and including, December 31, 2021 (the “Waiver Period”); (b) extends to June 30, 2021, the deadline for delivering the construction costs estimate and the construction schedule, in each case for the MBS Expansion Project; and (c) permits the Borrower to make dividend payments during the Waiver Period of (i) an unlimited amount if the ratio of its debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA is lower than or equal to 4.25x and (ii) up to SGD 500 million per fiscal year if the ratio of its debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA is higher than 4.25x, subject to the additional requirements that (a) the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s cash plus Facility B availability is greater than or equal to SGD 800 million immediately following such dividend payment and (b) the Borrower’s interest coverage ratio is higher than 3.0x. Pursuant to the Amendment Letter, MBS agreed to pay a customary fee on June 19, 2020, to the lenders that consented thereto.
As of September 30, 2020, MBS had SGD 592 million (approximately $433 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020) of available borrowing capacity under the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, primarily consisting of a banker’s guarantee pursuant to a development agreement for SGD 153 million (approximately $112 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020).
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, MBS borrowed SGD 62 million (approximately $46 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020) under the Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility. As of September 30, 2020, SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.69 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020) remains available to be drawn under the Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility.
Debt Covenant Compliance

Note 3 — Accounts Receivable, Net and Customer Contract Related Liabilities
Accounts Receivable and Provision for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable is comprised of casino, hotel, mall and other receivables, which do not bear interest and are recorded at amortized cost. The Company extends credit to approved casino customers following background checks and investigations of creditworthiness. The Company also extends credit to gaming promoters in Macao. These receivables can be offset against commissions payable to the respective gaming promoters. Business or economic conditions, the legal enforceability of gaming debts, foreign currency control measures or other significant events in foreign countries could affect the collectability of receivables from customers and gaming promoters residing in these countries.
Accounts receivable primarily consists of casino receivables. Other than casino receivables, there is no other concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of its credit risk in casino receivables is mitigated substantially by its credit evaluation process, credit policies, credit control and collection procedures, and also believes there are no concentrations of credit risk for which a provision has not been established. Although management believes the provision is adequate, it is possible the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change.
The Company maintains a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluates the balances. The Company applies standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. The Company also specifically analyzes the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer's financial condition, collection history and any other known information and adjusts the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. The Company also monitors regional and global economic conditions and forecasts,

which include the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in its evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves. Account balances are written off against the provision when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
Credit or marker play was 28.2%, 15.2% and 70.8% of table games play at the Company’s Macao properties, Marina Bay Sands and Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s provision for casino credit losses was 48.8% and 32.3% of gross casino receivables as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s provision for credit losses from its hotel and other receivables is not material.

Impacts of Adoption
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance under the accounting standard update (“ASU”) issued in June 2016 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The ASU revised the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The adoption, which was applied on a modified retrospective basis, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and therefore did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.
Customer Contract Related Liabilities
The Company provides numerous products and services to its customers. There is often a timing difference between the cash payment by the customers and recognition of revenue for each of the associated performance obligations. The Company has the following main types of liabilities associated with contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, (2) loyalty program liability and (3) customer deposits and other deferred revenue for gaming and non-gaming products and services yet to be provided.

Note 4 — Equity and Earnings Per Share
Common Stock
Dividends
On March 26, 2020, the Company paid a dividend of $0.79 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $603 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which $342 million related to the principal stockholder and his family and the remaining $261 million related to all other stockholders).
In April 2020, the Company suspended the quarterly dividend program due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Repurchase Program
In June 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $2.50 billion of its outstanding common stock, which was to expire in November 2020. In October 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the extension of the expiration date of the remaining repurchase amount of $916 million to November 2022. Repurchases of the Company's common stock are made at the Company's discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company's financial position, earnings, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions. All share repurchases of the Company's common stock have been recorded as treasury stock.
Noncontrolling Interests
On February 21, 2020, SCL paid a dividend of HKD 0.99 to SCL stockholders (a total of $1.03 billion, of which the Company retained $717 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020).
On April 17, 2020, SCL announced it will not pay a final dividend for 2019 due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

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 February 5, 2007, Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited (“AAEC” or “Plaintiff”) brought a claim (the “Prior Action”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (the “U.S. District Court”) against Las Vegas Sands, Inc. (now known as Las Vegas Sands, LLC (“LVSLLC”)), Venetian Casino Resort, LLC (“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 Prior Action sought damages based on an alleged breach of agreements entered into between AAEC and the aforementioned 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. The U.S. District Court entered an order dismissing the Prior Action on April 16, 2010.
On January 19, 2012, AAEC filed another claim (the “Macao Action”) with the Macao Judicial Court (Tribunal Judicial de Base) against VML, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. (“LVS (Nevada)”), LVSLLC and VCR (collectively, the “Defendants”). The claim was for 3.0 billion patacas (approximately $376 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020). The Macao Action alleges a 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 and amended the defense on January 4, 2013.
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.
On June 5, 2015, the U.S. Defendants applied to the Macao Judicial Court to dismiss the claims against them as res judicata based on the dismissal of the Prior Action. On March 16, 2016, the Macao Judicial Court dismissed the defense of res judicata. An appeal against that decision was lodged by U.S. Defendants on April 7, 2016. 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, which was completed on March 14, 2019, and the trial of this matter was scheduled for September 2019.
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 $12.08 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020), 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.
On September 2, 2019, the U.S. Defendants moved to revoke the legal aid granted to AAEC, which excuses AAEC from paying its share of court costs. On September 4, 2019, the Macao Judicial Court deferred ruling on the U.S. Defendants’ motion regarding legal aid until the entry of final judgment. The U.S. Defendants appealed that deferral on September 17, 2019. On September 26, 2019, the Macao Judicial Court rejected that appeal on procedural grounds. The U.S. Defendants requested clarification of that order on October 29, 2019. By order dated December 4, 2019, the Macao Judicial Court stated it would reconsider the U.S. Defendants’ motion to revoke legal aid and, as part of that reconsideration, it would reanalyze portions of the record, seek an opinion from the Macao

Public Prosecutor regarding the propriety of legal aid and consult with the trial court overseeing AAEC’s separate litigation against Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd., Galaxy Entertainment Group S.A. and Messrs. Weidner and Friedman, individually. The Macao Judicial Court denied the motion to revoke legal aid on January 14, 2020.
On September 4, 2019, the Macao Judicial Court allowed AAEC’s request to increase the amount of its claim. On September 17, 2019, the U.S. Defendants appealed the decision granting AAEC’s request. On September 26, 2019, the Macao Judicial Court accepted that appeal and it is currently pending before the Macao Second Instance Court.
On June 18, 2020, the U.S. Defendants moved to reschedule the trial, which had been scheduled to begin on September 16, 2020, due to travel disruptions and other extraordinary circumstances resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. The Macao Judicial Court granted that motion and rescheduled the trial to begin on June 16, 2021.
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.

(1)The Company completed the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019.
(2)Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income/loss 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 on sale of Sands Bethlehem, 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $20 million and $26 million, respectively, of which $9 million and $16 million, respectively, was included in corporate expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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.”
COVID-19 Pandemic
In early January 2020, an outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus was identified and the disease has since spread rapidly across the world causing the World Health Organization to declare the outbreak of a pandemic on March 12, 2020 (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). As a result, people across the globe were advised to avoid non-essential travel. Steps were also taken by various countries, including those in which we operate, to restrict inbound international travel and implement closures of non-essential operations to contain the spread of the virus.
Visitation to Macao has decreased substantially, driven by various government policies limiting travel. The China Individual Visit Scheme to Macao (“China IVS”) and group tour schemes were suspended, and a complete ban on entry, or a need to undergo enhanced quarantine requirements depending on the person’s residency and their recent travel history, had been enacted by the government for Macao residents, residents of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong residents, foreigner workers residing in Macao and international travelers. The China IVS and group tour scheme recommenced for certain regions beginning on August 12, 2020 and were extended to all of mainland China effective September 23, 2020. All China residents with the appropriate travel documents, a negative COVID-19 test result and a green health-code are exempt from quarantine. Hong Kong and Taiwan residents who have not visited a foreign country in the prior 14 days and tested negative for COVID-19 are allowed to enter Macao subject to a mandatory 14 days of centralized isolation. All other foreign nationals, including those holding a temporary work permit, currently are not permitted to enter Macao.
The Macao government suspended all gaming operations beginning on February 5, 2020. Our Macao casino operations resumed on February 20, 2020, except for operations at Sands Cotai Central, which resumed on February 27, 2020. Additional health safeguards, such as the requirement to present a negative COVID-19 test certificate prior to entering the casino, have been implemented, as well as the ongoing limitation on the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks and mandatory mask protection. Our management team is currently unable to determine when these measures will be modified or cease to be necessary.
Some of our Macao hotel facilities were also closed during the casino suspension in response to the drop in visitation and, with the exception of the Conrad Macao Cotai Strip at Sands Cotai Central (the “Conrad hotel”), which reopened on June 13, 2020, these hotels were gradually reopened from February 20, 2020, and remain open and operational. Additionally, from March 28 through April 30, 2020 and from June 7 through August 14, 2020, in support of the Macao government’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, we provided one tower (approximately 2,000 hotel rooms) at the Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel, Cotai Strip at Sands Cotai Central to the Macao government to house individuals who return to Macao for quarantine purposes.
Restaurants across our Macao properties are progressively reopening as guest visitation increases. The majority of retail outlets in the various shopping malls are open with reduced operating hours. The timing and manner in which these areas will return to full operation are currently unknown.
The Hong Kong government temporarily closed the Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal in Kowloon on January 30, 2020, and the Hong Kong Macao Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong on February 4, 2020. In response, we have suspended our Macao ferry operations between Macao and Hong Kong. The timing and manner in which our normal ferry operations will be able to resume are currently unknown.
Our operations in Macao have been significantly impacted by the lack of visitation to Macao. The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao decreased 69.2% and 99.3% for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and decreased by 97.4% and 92.4% in July and August 2020, as

compared to the same periods in 2019. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue decreased by 82.5% in the nine months ended September 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.
Beginning on April 7, 2020, the Singapore government suspended all casino and non-essential operations, including all operations at Marina Bay Sands, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our Singapore operations were permitted to reopen beginning on June 19, 2020; however, this only included certain restaurants and the retail mall operations. The casino operations reopened on July 1, 2020; however, entry was initially limited to annual levy holders and certain Sands Rewards Club (“SRC”) members. As of July 9, 2020, the casino opened to all SRC members. All operations are currently subject to limited capacities.
On May 28, 2020, in support of the Singapore government’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, Marina Bay Sands entered into an agreement with the Singapore government to utilize all three hotel towers to house Singapore residents upon their initial return from other jurisdictions for quarantine. The government’s use of the first tower ceased on June 26, 2020, while usage of the second and third towers continued through July 26, 2020. Beginning on July 17, 2020, the first tower reopened for normal operations, while the second and third towers reopened on August 1, 2020. On September 7, 2020, the Singapore Tourism Board announced that event organizers are allowed to apply for pilot events with limited capacities of up to 250 attendees from October 1, 2020. The date on which nightlife venues may reopen is unknown at this time.
In the months leading up to the closure, visitation to Marina Bay Sands declined. The Singapore Tourism Board announced for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, total visitation to Singapore decreased approximately 43.2% and 100%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. Total visitation decreased by approximately 99.6% and 99.5% in July and August 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019.
On March 17, 2020, the Nevada government suspended all casino and non-essential operations, including all operations at the Las Vegas Operating Properties, beginning on March 18, 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. On May 28, 2020, the Nevada government announced casinos could reopen on June 4, 2020, under strict guidelines issued by the Gaming Control Board and the State of Nevada. We reopened the casino, suites within The Venetian Tower and The Palazzo Tower, and select food and beverage outlets on June 4, 2020, with certain operations subject to reduced capacity. Beginning October 1, 2020, the limit for both public and private events was increased from 50 people to the lesser of 250 people or 50% of the room’s capacity (excluding employees, organizers and performers) provided social distancing measures and various safety and related protocols can be followed. Meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (“MICE”) for more than 250 people, but no more than 1,000 people, may be held subject to certain requirements. Larger venues, defined as having more than a 2,500 fixed-seating capacity, may host a gathering of 10% of their total capacity provided they meet additional requirements.
Visitation to our Las Vegas Operating Properties declined in the months leading up to the closure. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, visitation to Las Vegas decreased 18.3% and 87.8%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. Total visitation decreased by 61% and 57% in July and August 2020, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority also announced for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2020, gross gaming revenue for the Las Vegas Strip decreased 12.4% and 84.8%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2019. Total gross gaming revenue decreased by 39.2% in July and August 2020, as compared to the same periods in 2019.
In connection with reopening the Singapore and Las Vegas properties, we are adhering to social distancing requirements, which include reduced seating at table games and a decreased number of active slot machines on the casino floor. Additionally, there is uncertainty around the impact the COVID-19 Pandemic will continue to have on operations in future periods. For example, there have been a number of group cancellations or groups rescheduling their events through the second quarter of 2021 and there may be additional restrictions placed on our other services, such as nightclubs and entertainment venues.
If our Integrated Resorts are not permitted to resume normal operations, travel restrictions such as those related to the China IVS and other global restrictions on inbound travel from other countries are not modified or eliminated or the global response to contain the COVID-19 Pandemic escalates or is unsuccessful, our operations, cash flows and financial condition will be further materially impacted.

Table of Contents
While each of our properties are currently open and operating at reduced levels due to lower visitation and the implementation of required safety measures as described above, the current economic and regulatory environment on a global basis and in each of our jurisdictions continues to evolve. We cannot predict the manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of COVID-19 changes over time, which could significantly alter our current operations.
We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total cash and cash equivalents balance, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents, of $2.38 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $2.02 billion and $433 million of available borrowing capacity from our LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Revolving Facility and the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, and 3.69 billion Singapore dollars (“SGD,” approximately $2.69 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020) under our Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility, exclusively for capital expenditures for the MBS Expansion Project, as of September 30, 2020. We also have the option to increase the total borrowing capacity under our 2018 SCL Revolving Facility by an aggregate total amount of up to $1.0 billion, for an aggregate total available borrowing capacity of up to $3.0 billion. We believe we are able to support continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow of non-essential items.
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 segment in the U.S. is the Las Vegas Operating Properties, which includes The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo Center.

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 are principally driven by the volume of gaming patrons who visit the property on a daily basis.
Management utilizes the following volume and pricing measures in order to evaluate past performance and assist in forecasting future revenues. The various volume measurements indicate our ability to attract customers to our Integrated Resorts. In casino operations, win and hold percentages indicate the amount of revenue to be expected based on volume. In hotel operations, average daily rate and revenue per available room indicate the demand for rooms and our ability to capture that demand. In mall operations, base rent per square foot indicates our ability to attract and maintain profitable tenants for our leasable space.

Table of Contents
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, 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 table games are expected to produce a win percentage of 3.15% to 3.45% in Macao and Singapore, and our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 25.9%, 22.7%, 23.4%, 25.5%, 18.8% and 20.5% 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. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage of 4.7%, 4.1%, 3.8%, 5.8%, 3.2% and 4.6% 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, 28.2% and 15.2%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
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 (credit instruments) deposited in the table drop box. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot 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. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage of 8.0%. 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 70.8% of our table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was conducted on a credit 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 (such as government mandated closure, lodging for team members and usage by the Macao and Singapore government for quarantine measures). The calculations of the occupancy 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.

Summary Financial Results
Our financial results were adversely impacted by decreased visitation at our properties due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as properties temporarily operating at a reduced capacity due to social distancing measures. See “COVID-19 Pandemic” for further information. Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020, decreased 82.0% to $586 million, compared to $3.25 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Operating loss was $610 million compared to operating income of $899 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net loss was $731 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income of $669 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Consolidated net revenues were $586 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $2.66 billion compared to $3.25 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was across our jurisdictions and properties with decreases of $1.94 billion, $512 million and $214 million at our Macao operations, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively. These decreases were driven by the COVID-19 Pandemic described above and the related reduction in visitation due to travel restrictions and our properties operating at a reduced capacity due to social distancing measures.

Table of Contents
Net casino revenues decreased $1.98 billion compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The change was driven by a $1.58 billion decrease at our Macao operations, due to decreases in Non-Rolling Chip drop and Rolling Chip volume. Marina Bay Sands decreased $356 million due to decreases in Rolling Chip volume and Non-Rolling Chip drop. Our Las Vegas Operating Properties decreased $44 million due to decreases in table games win percentage and drop and slot handle. These decreases were driven by lower visitation across our properties due the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. The following table summarizes the results of our casino activity:

Room revenues decreased $363 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of reduced visitation across our properties as demonstrated by the reduced occupancy rates in the table below. The Venezia Tower of our Las Vegas Operating Properties remained closed for the quarter and Marina Bay Sands reopened the first tower on July 17, 2020 and the second and third towers on August 1, 2020. Additionally, certain rooms within Sands Cotai Central were utilized for quarantine purposes and certain rooms across our Macao properties for lodging provided to team members due to travel restrictions, driven by the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. The following table summarizes the results of our room activity:

Food and beverage revenues decreased $145 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $63 million, $43 million and $39 million at our Macao properties, our Las Vegas Operating Properties, and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above.
Mall revenues decreased $92 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to $78 million in rent concessions granted to our mall tenants in Macao and Singapore, as well as a $12 million decrease in turnover rents resulting from lower traffic in our malls resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
For further information related to the financial performance of our malls, see “Additional Information Regarding our Retail Mall Operations.” The following table summarizes the results of our malls on the Cotai Strip in Macao and in Singapore:

Convention, retail and other revenues decreased $83 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, driven by decreases of $25 million, $24 million and $15 million at our Macao properties, Las Vegas Operating Properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, as a result of the cancellation of MICE events and decreased visitation across our properties due to the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. Additionally, our ferry operations decreased $19 million, due to the temporary closure of the Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal in late January 2020 and the Hong Kong Macao Ferry Terminal in early February 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Operating expenses were $1.20 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $1.16 billion compared to $2.35 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily driven by a decrease in casino expenses of $927 million. Additionally, general and administrative expenses decreased $101 million and food and beverage expenses decreased $80 million. The decreases were mainly driven by the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. Although management has implemented certain cost reduction programs, operating margins in each business segment were negatively impacted due to employee and other costs incurred during this period of decreased visitation and property closures. We have maintained our staffing levels across our jurisdictions through significantly reduced visitation. The level of payroll costs during the period were reduced by $16 million in connection with the Job Support Scheme in Singapore and the Employee Retention Credit under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in the U.S. We have also implemented payroll cost saving initiatives across each of our properties, including utilization of paid time off and voluntary unpaid leave.
Casino expenses decreased $927 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to an $822 million decrease in gaming taxes resulting from decreased casino revenues, as previously described.
Room expenses decreased $48 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by decreases of $28 million, $12 million and $8 million at our Macao properties, Las Vegas Operating Properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. These decreases are consistent with the reduction in room revenue.
Food and beverage expenses decreased $80 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to decreases of $36 million, $23 million and $21 million at our Macao properties, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively. These decreases are consistent with the reduction in food and beverage revenues.

Convention, retail and other expenses decreased $38 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily driven by a $19 million decrease in ferry expenses resulting from the closure of the ferry terminals in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Additionally, our Macao properties decreased $13 million, which is consistent with the decrease in convention, retail and other revenue discussed above.
Provision for credit losses increased $21 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the aging of receivables for premium players at our Macao properties, as travel restrictions have limited the ability for patrons to redeem markers. 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 credit losses 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 decreased $101 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to decreases of $48 million, $27 million and $25 million at our Macao properties, our Las Vegas Operating Properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, primarily driven by decreases in marketing, payroll and property operations costs.
Corporate expenses decreased $26 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to lower payroll expense of $12 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 driven by lower bonus costs due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as $11 million in legal costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Pre-opening expenses represent personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred.
Development expenses include the costs associated with our evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, which are also expensed as incurred.
Loss on disposal or impairment of assets increased $47 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to asset disposals and demolition costs related to The Londoner Macao.

__________________________
(1)    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/loss 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 on sale of Sands Bethlehem, 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 Macao operations decreased $988 million compared with the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to decreased casino revenues, driven by decreased visitation at our properties due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands decreased $365 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to decreased casino revenues, driven by decreased visitation at our property due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties decreased $133 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to no MICE events during the current quarter and decreased room and casino revenue, driven by decreased visitation to our properties and State of Nevada mandated limits on public gatherings due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Interest cost increased $4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, resulting from an increase in our weighted average total debt balance, due to the issuance of the 2026 and 2030 SCL Senior Notes issued on June 4, 2020 and the LVSC Senior Note issued on November 25, 2019. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average interest rate primarily due to the benefit of $13 million in the current quarter compared to the benefit of $7 million in the same quarter of the previous year due to the interest rate swap agreements on $5.50 billion of our SCL Senior Notes issued in August 2018.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Other expense was $4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an $18 million decrease in foreign transaction losses driven by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate decrease of 261 basis points on U.S. dollar denominated debt held by SCL. This was partially offset by a $12 million decrease in foreign currency transaction

gains driven by the impact of the foreign currency exchange rate decrease of 530 basis points on Singapore dollar denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars.
Our income tax benefit was $17 million on a loss before income taxes of $748 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This compares to a 10.9% effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax on our domestic operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao. Our Singapore and U.S. operations recorded tax benefits associated with the pre-tax book losses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our U.S. tax benefit was partially offset by a valuation allowance recorded on certain U.S. foreign tax credits, which we no longer expect to utilize due to lower royalty income resulting from a decrease in revenues from Macao and Singapore compared to prior estimates. Our Macao non-gaming operations had a non-cash discrete income tax expense of $14 million due to the reversal of certain deferred tax assets related to fixed assets, which were primarily disposed of as part of The Londoner Macao project.
The net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $166 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests of $136 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. These amounts are related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Consolidated net revenues were $2.47 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $7.76 billion compared to $10.23 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to decreases of $5.56 billion, $1.33 billion and $647 million at our Macao operations, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively. The decreases were driven by decreased visitation and temporary property closures as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as described above. Additionally, there was a $227 million decrease due to the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019.

Net casino revenues decreased $5.82 billion compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, driven by temporary property closures and decreased visitation once our properties reopened as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. In addition, casinos at each of our properties continue to operate at a reduced capacity due to social distancing measures. Revenues at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands decreased $4.54 billion and $922 million, respectively, driven by decreases in Non-Rolling Chip drop and Rolling Chip volume, while our Las Vegas Operating Properties decreased $153 million due to decreases in table games drop and win percentage and slot handle. Additionally, there was a decrease of $199 million attributable to the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019. The following table summarizes the results of our casino activity:

Room revenues decreased $960 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of temporary property closures and decreased visitation at each of our properties, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Additionally, certain rooms within Sands Cotai Central and Marina Bay Sands were utilized for quarantine purposes and certain rooms across our Macao properties for lodging were used by team members due to travel restrictions. The following table summarizes the results of our room activity:

Note:    We completed the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019.
Food and beverage revenues decreased $450 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to decreases of $190 million, $142 million and $107 million at our Macao properties,

our Las Vegas Operating Properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above.
Mall revenues decreased $273 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to $248 million in rent concessions granted to our mall tenants in Macao and Singapore and a decrease of $25 million in turnover rents resulting from lower traffic in our malls resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Convention, retail and other revenues decreased $265 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 driven by decreases of $82 million, $72 million, and $42 million at our Macao properties, Las Vegas Operating Properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, as a result of the cancellation of MICE events and decreased visitation across our properties due to the COVID-19 Pandemic described above. Additionally, there was a $60 million decrease related to our ferry operations, due to the temporary closure of the Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal in late January 2020 and the Hong Kong Macao Ferry Terminal in early February 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Operating expenses were $3.94 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $3.52 billion compared to $7.47 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by a $2.75 billion decrease in casino expenses. Additionally, general and administrative expenses decreased $265 million and food and beverage expenses decreased $227 million driven by the COVID-19 Pandemic, described above. Although management has implemented certain cost reduction programs, operating margins in each business segment were negatively impacted due to employee and other costs incurred during this period of decreased visitation and property closures. We have maintained our staffing levels across our jurisdictions through the government mandated closures amid significantly reduced visitation. The level of payroll costs during the period were reduced by $92 million in connection with the Job Support Scheme in Singapore and the Employee Retention Credit under the CARES Act in the U.S. We have also implemented payroll cost saving initiatives across each of our properties, including utilization of paid time off and voluntary unpaid leave.
Casino expenses decreased $2.75 billion compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.37 billion in gaming taxes due to decreased casino revenues, as previously described. Additionally, the sale of Sands Bethlehem in May 2019 resulted in a $127 million decrease.
Room expenses decreased $129 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by decreases of $67 million, $41 million and $19 million at our Macao properties, our Las Vegas Operating Properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. These decreases are consistent with the reduction in room revenue.

Table of Contents
Food and beverage expenses decreased $227 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to decreases of $102 million, $59 million and $57 million at our Macao properties, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively. These decreases are consistent with the reduction in food and beverage revenues.
Convention, retail and other expenses decreased $110 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 driven by a decrease of $53 million related to the closure of the ferry terminals previously described. Additionally, our Macao properties, Las Vegas Operating Properties and Marina Bay Sands decreased $27 million, $17 million and $11 million, respectively, as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic described above.
The provision for credit losses was $60 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was driven by the aging of receivables for premium players at our Macao properties during 2020, as travel restrictions have limited the ability for patrons to redeem markers. 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 credit losses 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 decreased $265 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to decreases of $116 million, $62 million and $54 million at our Macao properties, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively. The decreases were primarily driven by decreases in marketing, payroll and property operations costs. Additionally, the sale of Sands Bethlehem in May 2019 resulted in a $33 million decrease.
Corporate expenses decreased $117 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a nonrecurring legal settlement during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Pre-opening expenses represent personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred.
Development expenses include the costs associated with our evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, which are also expensed as incurred.
Loss on disposal or impairment of assets increased $50 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to asset disposals and demolition costs related to The Londoner Macao.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations decreased $2.86 billion compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to decreased casino revenues driven by government mandated travel restrictions, property closures and overall reduced visitation since late January 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands decreased $965 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to decreased casino revenues, driven by the temporary closure of the property and reduced visitation resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties decreased $441 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to no MICE events in the second and third quarters of 2020 and decreased room and casino revenues driven by the temporary closure of the properties and overall reduced visitation, resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Table of Contents
Interest cost decreased $26 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, resulting primarily from a decrease in our weighted average interest rate. The decrease was primarily due to the increased benefit of $41 million over the prior year due to the interest rate swap agreements on $5.50 billion of our SCL Senior Notes issued in August 2018. This was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average total debt balance due to the issuance of the 2025 LVSC Senior Notes on November 25, 2019 and the 2026 and 2030 SCL Senior Notes issued on June 4, 2020.
Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Other income was $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to other expense of $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change from prior period was due primarily to a $34 million decrease in foreign transaction losses driven by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate decrease of 488 basis points on U.S. dollar denominated debt held by SCL and a $9 million decrease in foreign currency transaction losses driven by the impact of the foreign currency exchange rate increase of 48 basis points on Singapore dollar denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars.
Our income tax benefit was $46 million on a loss before income taxes of $1.81 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This compares to a 13.8% effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, would have been 10.2% without the discrete income tax expense of $161 million resulting from the sale of Sands Bethlehem. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax on our domestic operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao. Our Singapore and U.S. operations recorded tax benefits associated with the pre-tax book losses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our U.S. tax benefit was partially offset by a valuation allowance recorded on certain U.S. foreign tax credits, which we no longer expect to utilize due to lower royalty income resulting from a decrease in revenues from Macao and Singapore compared to prior estimates. Our Macao non-gaming operations had a non-cash discrete income tax expense of $14 million due to the reversal of certain deferred tax assets related to fixed assets, which were primarily disposed of as part of The Londoner Macao project.
The net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $381 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income attributable to our noncontrolling interest of $452 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These amounts were 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 and Marina Bay Sands. 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.
The following tables summarize the results of our mall operations on the Cotai Strip and at Marina Bay Sands for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Note:    These tables exclude the results of our mall operations at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem, which was sold in May 2019.
(1)Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.
(2)Rent concessions were provided to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the impact on mall operations.
(3)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, Sands Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao have obtained a second exemption. The exemption for The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao expired in August 2019 and August 2020, respectively, and the exemption for Sands Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao will be expiring in December 2027 and September 2028, respectively.
(4)Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for credit losses, 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 regularly evaluate 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
Our construction work continues for the renovation, expansion and rebranding of Sands Cotai Central into a new destination Integrated Resort, The Londoner Macao. The Londoner Macao will feature new attractions and features internally and externally from London, including some of London’s most recognizable landmarks, such as the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. We will add approximately 370 luxury suites in the Londoner Court, and the prior Holiday Inn-branded rooms and suites were converted to approximately 600 London-themed suites, referred to as The Londoner Hotel. We are utilizing suites as they are completed on a simulation basis for trial and feedback purposes. A number of new restaurants will open progressively from late 2020 and our retail offerings will be expanded and rebranded as the Shoppes at Londoner. Construction work on the conversion of Sands Cotai Central into the new integrated resort The Londoner Macao is progressing. We expect the Londoner Court suites to be completed in late 2020 and overall The Londoner Macao project to be delivered in phases throughout 2020 and 2021.
Construction of The Grand Suites at Four Seasons is now complete and features 289 additional luxury suites. We initiated approved gaming operations in this space in the first quarter of 2020 and recently obtained the hotel license for The Grand Suites at Four Seasons.
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 complete the projects.
Singapore
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, the MBS Expansion Project, which will include a hotel tower with a rooftop attraction, convention and meeting facilities and a state-of-the-art live entertainment arena with approximately 15,000 seats. The Development Agreement provides for a total project cost of approximately SGD 4.5 billion (approximately $3.3 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020). 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 amended 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. On June 18, 2020, MBS, entered into an amendment letter that amends the facility agreement originally dated as of June 25, 2012 and extends to June 30, 2021, the deadline for delivering the construction costs estimate and the construction schedule, in each case for the MBS Expansion Project.
Other
We continue to evaluate additional development projects in each of our markets and pursue new development opportunities globally.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $3.11 billion compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The main factor driving this decrease was the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our operations, which significantly reduced visitation to our properties and caused the temporary shutdown of all of our properties at various times during 2020 as described above. We had a cash usage for operations in 2020 of $1.32 billion due to limited revenues. The COVID-19 Pandemic impacted our working capital, which was a cash outflow during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as the amount of receivables collected was less than the settlement of operating accrued liabilities and a reduction to outstanding chips. In addition, the $1.80 billion of cash flow from operations in the prior year were impacted by the land lease payment made in 2019 in connection with the MBS Expansion Project.
Cash Flows — Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, totaled $1.08 billion. Included in this amount was $857 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted primarily of $591 million for Sands Cotai Central related primarily to The Londoner Macao, $147 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao related primarily to the Grand Suites at Four Seasons Macao and $103 million for The Venetian Macao. Additionally, this amount included $137 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; $80 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties; and $4 million for corporate and other.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, totaled $756 million. Included in this amount was $410 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted primarily of $178 million for Sands Cotai Central related primarily to the Londoner Macao, $125 million for The Plaza Macao and

Four Seasons Hotel Macao related primarily to the Grand Suites at Four Seasons Macao, $75 million for The Venetian Macao and $21 million for The Parisian Macao. Additionally, this amount included $134 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; $153 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties; and $57 million for corporate and other.
Cash Flows — Financing Activities
Net cash flows generated from financing activities were $575 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which was primarily attributable to net proceeds of $1.49 billion on our various credit facilities, driven by the issuance of $1.50 billion of unsecured notes at SCL, partially offset by $911 million in dividend payments.
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $2.97 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was primarily attributable to $2.41 billion in dividend payments, $454 million in common stock repurchases, $127 million in payments of financing costs and net repayments of $18 million on our various credit facilities.
Capital Financing Overview
We fund our development projects primarily through borrowings from our debt instruments and operating cash flows.
In June 2020, SCL issued, in a private offering, two series of unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.50 billion. The net proceeds from the offering will be used for incremental liquidity and general corporate purposes.
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. In September 2020, LVSC entered into an amendment, pursuant to which lenders, among other things, removed LVSC’s requirement to maintain a maximum leverage ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter during the period beginning on October 31, 2020, through and including December 31, 2021. In March 2020, SCL entered into a waiver and amendment request letter, pursuant to which lenders, among other things, waived SCL’s requirement to ensure the maximum leverage ratio does not exceed 4.0x for any period beginning on, and including, January 1, 2020 and ending on, and including, July 1, 2021 (other than with respect to the financial year ended December 31, 2019). In September 2020, SCL entered into a waiver extension and amendment request letter, pursuant to which the aforementioned waiver period was extended to January 1, 2022. In June 2020, MBS entered into an amendment letter, such that MBS will not have to comply with the leverage or interest coverage covenants for the financial quarters ending, and including, September 30, 2020 through, and including, December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2020, our U.S. leverage ratio, as defined per the respective credit facility agreement, was 2.9x compared to the maximum leverage ratio allowed of 4.0x.
We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.38 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $17 million as of September 30, 2020, of which approximately $1.36 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $1.36 billion, approximately $1.05 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 stockholders 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 $3.95 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., SCL and Singapore revolving credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit, and SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.69 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2020) under our Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility as of September 30, 2020, 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 and debt obligations. 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 21, 2020, SCL paid a dividend of 0.99 Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) to SCL stockholders (a total of $1.03 billion, of which we retained $717 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020).
50

Table of Contents
On March 26, 2020, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.79 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program and, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, recorded $603 million as a distribution against retained earnings.
We have suspended our quarterly dividend program and SCL did not pay a final dividend for 2019 due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including access to available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities. We believe we are well positioned to support our continuing operations, complete the major construction projects in Macao and Singapore that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow of non-essential items.
In June 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $2.50 billion of our outstanding common stock, which was to expire in November 2020. In October 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the extension of the expiration date of the remaining repurchase amount of $916 million to November 2022. As of September 30, 2020, we have remaining authorization to repurchase $916 million of our outstanding common shares. Repurchases of our common stock are made at our discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our financial position, earnings, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions.
Aggregate Indebtedness and Other Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2020, there had been no material changes to our aggregated indebtedness and other contractual obligations previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the exception of the issuance of the 2026 and 2030 SCL Senior Notes and the draw on the 2012 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility.

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 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
53

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.
As of September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $14.64 billion, compared to its contractual value of $14.03 billion. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is based on recent trades, if available, and indicative pricing from market information (level 2 inputs). A hypothetical 100 basis point change in market rates would cause the fair value of our long-term debt to change by $555 million. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in the Singapore Swap Offer Rate would cause our annual interest cost on our long-term debt to change by approximately $30 million.
Foreign currency transaction gains were $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to U.S. dollar denominated debt issued by SCL and Singapore denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/SGD and U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rates. Based on balances as of September 30, 2020, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar/SGD exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $22 million, and a hypothetical 1% weakening of the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $62 million. The pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar (within a narrow range). 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.
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 September 30, 2020, 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.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is party to litigation matters and claims related to its operations. For more information, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and “Part I — Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the following risk factor was identified:
The COVID-19 Pandemic has adversely affected the number of visitors to our facilities and disrupted our operations, resulting in lower revenues and cash flows. This adverse impact is anticipated to continue until the global COVID-19 Pandemic is contained.
The impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and measures to prevent its spread are expected to continue to impact our results, operations, cash flows and liquidity.
We expect the impact of these disruptions, including the extent of their adverse impact on our financial and operational results, will be dictated by the length of time that such disruptions continue. Although all our properties are currently open, we cannot predict whether future closures would be appropriate or could be mandated. Even once travel advisories and restrictions are modified or cease to be necessary, demand for integrated resorts may remain weak for a significant length of time and we cannot predict if or when the gaming and non-gaming activities of our properties will return to pre-outbreak levels of volume or pricing. In particular, future demand for integrated resorts may be negatively impacted by the adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, including higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth or reduced business spending for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (“MICE”) resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. In addition, we cannot predict the impact the COVID-19 Pandemic will have on our mall tenants in Macao and Singapore.
We are a parent company with limited business operations of our own. Our main asset is the capital stock of our subsidiaries. We conduct most of our business operations through our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Accordingly, our primary sources of cash are dividends and distributions with respect to our ownership interests in our subsidiaries derived from the earnings and cash flow generated by our operating properties. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates, or is unsuccessful, our subsidiaries’ ability to generate sufficient earnings and cash flow to pay dividends or distributions in the future will be negatively impacted. For example, on April 17, 2020, SCL announced it will not pay a final dividend for 2019.
Our businesses would also be impacted should the disruptions from the COVID-19 Pandemic lead to prolonged changes in consumer behavior or could impact our current construction projects in Macao and Singapore. There are certain limitations on our ability to mitigate the adverse financial impact of these matters, such as the fixed costs at our properties, the access to construction labor due to immigration restrictions or construction materials due to vendor supply chain delays. The COVID-19 Pandemic also makes it more challenging for management to estimate the future performance of our businesses, particularly over the near to medium term. Any of these events may continue to disrupt our ability to staff our business adequately, could continue to generally disrupt our operations or construction projects and if the global response to contain the COVID-19 Pandemic escalates or is unsuccessful, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we are required to raise additional capital in the future, our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects and our credit ratings. If our credit ratings were to be downgraded, or general market conditions were to ascribe higher risk to our rating levels, our industry, or us, our access to capital and the cost of any debt financing would be further negatively impacted. In addition, the terms of future debt agreements could include more restrictive covenants, or require incremental collateral, which may further restrict
55

our business operations or be unavailable due to our covenant restrictions then in effect. There is no guarantee that debt financings will be available in the future to fund our obligations, or that they will be available on terms consistent with our expectations. Our current debt service obligations contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, and our Macao, Singapore and U.S. credit agreements contain various financial covenants. SCL, MBS and LVSC have each entered into a waiver and amendment request letter with their lenders to waive certain of their financial requirements through January 1, 2022 for SCL and December 31, 2021 for both MBS and LVSC.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our results of operations. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of the COVID-19 Pandemic and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
