MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)  

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Organization. MGM Resorts International (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that acts largely as a holding company and, through subsidiaries, owns and operates casino resorts.

 

The Company owns and operates the following integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada: Bellagio, MGM Grand Las Vegas, The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur and Circus Circus Las Vegas. Operations at MGM Grand Las Vegas include management of The Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas, a condominium-hotel consisting of three towers. The Company operates and, along with local investors, owns MGM Grand Detroit in Detroit, Michigan, MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Company also owns and operates Borgata located on Renaissance Pointe in the Marina area of Atlantic City, New Jersey, Empire City in Yonkers, New York, MGM Northfield Park in Northfield Park, Ohio, and the following resorts in Mississippi: Beau Rivage in Biloxi and Gold Strike in Tunica. Additionally, the Company owns The Park, a dining and entertainment district located between New York-New York and Park MGM, Shadow Creek, an exclusive world-class golf course located approximately ten miles north of its Las Vegas Strip resorts, Primm Valley Golf Club at the California/Nevada state line and Fallen Oak golf course in Saucier, Mississippi.

 

MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, is organized as an umbrella partnership REIT (commonly referred to as an UPREIT) structure in which substantially all of its assets are owned by and substantially all of its businesses are conducted through MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”). MGP has two classes of authorized and outstanding voting common shares (collectively, the “shares”): Class A shares and a single Class B share. The Company owns MGP’s Class B share, which does not provide its holder any rights to profits or losses or any rights to receive distributions from operations of MGP or upon liquidation or winding up of MGP. MGP’s Class A shareholders are entitled to one vote per share, while the Company, as the owner of the Class B share, is entitled to an amount of votes representing a majority of the total voting power of MGP’s shares so long as the Company and its controlled affiliates’ (excluding MGP) aggregate beneficial ownership of the combined economic interests in MGP and the Operating Partnership does not fall below 30%. The Company and MGP each hold Operating Partnership units representing limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. The general partner of the Operating Partnership is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGP. The Operating Partnership units held by the Company are exchangeable into Class A shares of MGP on a one-to-one basis, or cash at the fair value of a Class A share. The determination of settlement method is at the option of MGP’s independent conflicts committee. The Company and MGP’s ownership interest percentage in the Operating Partnership have varied based upon the transactions that MGP has completed, as discussed in Note 10. As of March 31, 2019, the Company owned 69.8% of the Operating Partnership units, and MGP held the remaining 30.2% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

Pursuant to a master lease agreement between a subsidiary of the Company (the “tenant”) and a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (the “landlord”), the tenant leases the real estate assets of The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, The Park, Gold Strike Tunica, MGM Grand Detroit, Beau Rivage, Borgata, Empire City, MGM National Harbor, and MGM Northfield Park (beginning April 1, 2019) from the landlord.

 

In January 2019, the Company acquired the real property and operations associated with the Empire City Casino's race track and casino ("Empire City"). Subsequently, MGP acquired the developed real property associated with Empire City from the Company and Empire City was added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. Refer to Note 3 for additional information.

 

In March 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the existing master lease with respect to investments made by the Company related to improvements at Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas. Additionally, in April 2019, the Company acquired the membership interests of Northfield Park Associates, LLC (“Northfield”), the entity that owned the operating assets associated with Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park (rebranded to MGM Northfield Park upon the Company’s acquisition), from MGP, and MGP retained the associated real estate assets. MGM Northfield Park was then added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on these transactions.

 

7


 

The Company has an approximate 56% controlling interest in MGM China, which owns MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”). MGM Grand Paradise owns and operates the MGM Macau resort and casino and MGM Cotai, an integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resort located on the Cotai Strip in Macau, as well as the related gaming subconcession and land concessions. In March 2019, MGM Grand Paradise and its concessionaire, Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A (“SJMSA”) entered into a Sub-Concession Extension Contract (the "Extension Agreement"), pursuant to which the gaming sub-concession of MGM Grand Paradise, which was due to expire on March 31, 2020, has been extended to June 26, 2022, which coincides with the current expiration date of all the other concessionaires and sub-concessionaires. In connection with the extension, MGM Grand Paradise paid the government of Macau approximately $25 million upon signing of the Extension Agreement as contract premium for such extension. In addition, in March 2019, MGM Grand Paradise also executed the MGM SJM Agreement with SJMSA, pursuant to which MGM Grand Paradise paid SJMSA an amount of approximately $2 million in connection with the extension of the sub-concession.

 

The Company owns 50% of and manages CityCenter Holdings, LLC (“CityCenter”), located between Bellagio and Park MGM. The other 50% of CityCenter is owned by Infinity World Development Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai World, a Dubai, United Arab Emirates government decree entity. CityCenter consists of Aria, an integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resort; and Vdara, a luxury condominium-hotel. See Note 4 for additional information related to CityCenter.

 

The Company and a subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc. (“AEG”) each own 42.5% of the Las Vegas Arena Company, LLC (“Las Vegas Arena Company”), the entity which owns the T-Mobile Arena, and Athena Arena, LLC owns the remaining 15%. The Company also manages the T-Mobile Arena. Additionally, the Company leases the MGM Grand Garden Arena, located adjacent to the MGM Grand Las Vegas, to the Las Vegas Arena Company. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the Company’s investment in the Las Vegas Arena Company.

 

The Company has three reportable segments: Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and MGM China. See Note 11 for additional information about the Company’s segments.

 

NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2018 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial statements. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Principles of consolidation. Management has determined that MGP is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) because the Class A equity investors as a group lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of MGP and consolidates MGP because (i) its ownership of MGP’s single Class B share entitles it to a majority of the total voting power of MGP’s shares, and (ii) the exchangeable nature of the Operating Partnership units owned provide the Company the right to receive benefits from MGP that could potentially be significant to MGP. The Company has recorded MGP’s ownership interest in the Operating Partnership of 30.2% as of March 31, 2019 as noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, on a consolidated basis, MGP had total assets of $12.3 billion and $11.0 billion, respectively, primarily related to its real estate investments, and total liabilities of $5.6 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, primarily related to its indebtedness.

 

Revenue recognition. The Company’s revenue contracts with customers consist of casino wager transactions, hotel room sales, food and beverage transactions, entertainment shows, and retail transactions.

 

For casino wager transactions that include incentives earned by customers under the Company’s loyalty programs, the Company allocates a portion of net win based upon the standalone selling price of such incentive (less estimated breakage). This allocation is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the incentive. When redeemed, revenue is recognized in the department that provides the goods or service. Redemption of loyalty incentives at third party outlets are deducted from the loyalty liability and amounts owed are paid to the third party, with any discount received recorded as other revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, commissions and incentives provided to gaming customers were $602 million and $540 million, respectively. After allocating revenue to other goods and services provided as part of casino wager transactions, the Company records the residual amount to casino revenue.

Contract and Contract-Related Liabilities. There may be a difference between the timing of cash receipts from the customer and the recognition of revenue, resulting in a contract or contract-related liability. The Company generally has three types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, which represents the amounts owned in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer, (2) loyalty program obligations, which represents the deferred allocation of revenue relating to loyalty program incentives earned, as discussed above, and (3) customer advances and other, which is primarily funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs (“casino front money”) and advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided such as advance ticket sales and deposits on rooms and convention space or for unpaid wagers. These liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned, or deposited and are recorded within “Other accrued liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

The following table summarizes the activity related to contract and contract-related liabilities:

Revenue by source. The Company presents the revenue earned disaggregated by the type or nature of the good or service (casino, room, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other) and by relevant geographic region within Note 11.

 

Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

For leases with terms greater than twelve months, the operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The initial measurement of the operating lease ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments and are reduced by any previously accrued deferred rent. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on the information available at commencement date. Many of the Company’s leases include fixed rental escalation clauses that are factored into the determination of lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

 

The Company is a lessor under certain of its lease arrangements. Lease revenues earned by the Company from third-party tenants are classified within the line item corresponding to the type or nature of the tenant’s good or service. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, lease revenues from third-party tenants include $12 million and $13 million recorded within food and beverage revenue, respectively, and $22 million and $21 million recorded within entertainment, retail, and other revenue for the same such periods, respectively.

 

Recently issued accounting standards. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842 “Leases (Topic 842)”, which replaces the existing guidance in Topic 840, “Leases”, (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. ASC 842 requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would classify and account for its lease agreements as either finance or operating. Both finance and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee will recognize interest expense associated with the lease liability and depreciation expense associated with the ROU asset; and for operating leases, the lessee will recognize straight-line rent expense. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 utilizing the simplified transition method and accordingly did not recast comparative period financial information. The Company elected the basket of transition practical expedients which includes not needing to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) direct costs for any existing leases. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized $656 million of operating ROU assets and $580 million of operating lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019.

 

Prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the master lease between subsidiaries of MGM and MGP was accounted for as a failed sale of the real estate assets due to the subsidiaries’ investments in the Operating Partnership, which constituted continuing involvement. As such, the real estate assets were reflected in the balance sheets of the applicable MGM subsidiaries as well as the associated finance lease liability. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the sale and leaseback of the real estate assets under the master lease now qualify as a passed sale and are determined to be operating leases. Accordingly, the real estate assets are

now only reflected on the balance sheet of MGP and the MGM subsidiaries have recorded operating lease liabilities and operating ROU assets. The master lease and its related accounting eliminates in consolidation.

 

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS

 

      Empire City

 

On January 29, 2019, the Company acquired the real property and operations associated with Empire City for total consideration of approximately $865 million, plus customary working capital and other adjustments (“Empire City Acquisition”). The fair value of consideration paid included the issuance of approximately $266 million of the Company’s common stock, the incurrence of a new bridge facility, and the remaining balance in cash. If Empire City is awarded a license for live table games on or prior to December 31, 2022 and the Company accepts such license by December 31, 2024, the Company will pay additional consideration of $50 million. The acquisition expands the Company’s presence in the northeast region and greater New York City market. Subsequent to the Company’s acquisition, MGP acquired the developed real property associated with Empire City from the Company and Empire City was added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. See Note 12 for additional information.

 

The Company recognized 100% of the assets and liabilities of Empire City at fair value on the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the fair value was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The Company estimated fair value using both level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets, and level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs. The allocation of fair value for substantially all of the assets and liabilities is preliminary and may be adjusted up to one year after the acquisition. Specifically, as of March 31, 2019, the Company is finalizing valuation work related to the assets and liabilities assumed as well as asset classes that comprise the property and equipment acquired.

 

The following table sets forth the preliminary purchase price allocation (in thousands):

$

The Company recognized the identifiable intangible assets at fair value. The estimated fair values of the intangible assets were preliminarily determined using methodologies under the income approach based on significant inputs that were not observable. The gaming license and trade name, which is included within other intangibles above, are indefinite-lived intangible assets and the customer lists acquired, included within other intangibles above, is amortized over its estimated useful life of four years. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition.

 

Consolidated results. For the period from January 29, 2019 through March 31, 2019, Empire City’s net revenue was $37 million, operating income was $4 million and net income was $11 million. Pro forma results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because it is not material to the consolidated results of operations.

 

     Northfield

 

On July 6, 2018, MGP completed its acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Northfield. The financial results of Northfield have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As of March 31, 2019, the Company is finalizing valuation work related to the asset classes that comprise the property and equipment acquired.  

 

In April 2019, the Company subsequently acquired the membership interests of Northfield from MGP, and MGP retained the associated real estate assets. MGM Northfield Park was then added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.

Debt due within one year of the March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 balance sheets was classified as long-term as the Company had both the intent and ability to refinance current maturities on a long-term basis under its revolving senior credit facilities, with the exception that $3 million and $43 million related to MGM China’s term loan amortization payments in excess of available borrowings under the MGM China revolving credit facility were classified as current at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Senior credit facility. At March 31, 2019, the Company’s senior credit facility consisted of a $750 million term loan A facility and a $1.5 billion revolving facility. At March 31, 2019, $320 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019, the interest rate on the term loan A was 4.75% and the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.66%. The Company was in compliance with its credit facility covenants at March 31, 2019.

 

Operating Partnership senior credit facility. At March 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership senior credit facility consisted of a $470 million term loan A facility, a $1.79 billion term loan B facility, and a $1.35 billion revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019, $85 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019, the interest rates on the term loan A facility and the term loan B facility were both 4.5%, and the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.41%. The Operating Partnership was in compliance with its credit facility covenants at March 31, 2019. 

 

The Operating Partnership is party to interest rate swaps to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in its senior secured term loan B facility. As of March 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership pays a weighted average fixed rate of 1.844% on total notional amount of $1.2 billion and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR with no minimum floor. In December 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into additional interest rate swaps that have a notional amount of $400 million on which it will pay a fixed rate of 2.735% with the variable rate received resetting monthly to the one-month LIBOR with a floor of 0%. Such interest rate swaps will become effective on December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the derivative financial instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting.

    

MGM China credit facility. At March 31, 2019, the MGM China credit facility consisted of $1.7 billion of term loans and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. MGM China permanently repaid $99 million of the term loan facilities in the three months ended March 31, 2019 in accordance with the scheduled amortization. At March 31, 2019, $599 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019, the interest rates on the term loans and the revolving credit facility were 4.16% and 4.11%, respectively. MGM China was in compliance with its credit facility covenants at March 31, 2019.

 

Bridge Facility. In connection with the Empire City transaction, the Company borrowed $246 million under a bridge facility, which was subsequently assumed by the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership repaid the bridge facility with a combination of cash on hand and a draw on its revolving credit facility, which was subsequently repaid with proceeds from its offering of its 5.75% senior notes due 2027, discussed below.

 

Senior Notes. In April 2019, the Company issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2027. The Company primarily used the net proceeds from the offering to fund the purchase of $639 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2020 and $233 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.25% senior notes due 2020 through cash tender offers.

 

In February 2019, the Company repaid its $850 million 8.625% notes due 2019.

 

Operating Partnership senior notes. In January 2019, the Operating Partnership issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior notes due 2027.

 

Fair value of long-term debt. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $15.2 billion and $15.1 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the Company’s senior notes and senior credit facilities.

 

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

 

For interim income tax reporting the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to its year-to-date ordinary income. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a provision of 51.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to a benefit of 47.2% in the prior year quarter.

 

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets, net of applicable reserves, related to net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and certain temporary differences. The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied.

 

MGM Grand Paradise was previously granted an exemption from the Macau 12% complementary tax on gaming profits through March 31, 2020 and, given the Extension Agreement entered into during the quarter, intends to apply for an extension of such exemption to June 26, 2022 to run concurrent with its extended sub-concession. Competitors of MGM Grand Paradise have received additional extensions of their complementary tax exemptions through June 26, 2022, which runs concurrent with the end of the term of their gaming concessions. The Company believes MGM Grand Paradise should also be entitled to such extension in order to ensure

12


 

non-discriminatory treatment among gaming concessionaires and sub-concessionaires, a requirement under Macanese law. Based upon these developments, the Company re-measured the net deferred tax liability of MGM Grand Paradise assuming that it will receive an additional extension of its complementary tax exemption through June 26, 2022. This change in assumption resulted in a net increase in deferred tax liabilities in the amount of $35 million, due to an increase in the valuation allowance on certain net operating loss deferred tax assets partially offset by a reduction in certain intangible deferred tax liabilities, and a corresponding income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

The Company recorded a $10 million increase in its valuation allowance on its foreign tax credit carryovers (“FTCs”) and a corresponding increase in its income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 based upon a revision of certain assumptions impacting the valuation allowance. The FTCs are attributable to the Macau Special Gaming Tax, which is 35% of gross gaming revenue in Macau. Significant judgment is required in assessing the need for a valuation allowance and future changes to these assumptions could result in material changes in the valuation allowance with a corresponding impact on the provision for income taxes in the period including such change.

 

Further, the Empire City Acquisition required a re-measurement of existing state deferred tax liabilities resulting in a $10 million increase in deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

NOTE 7 — LEASES

 

The Company leases the land underlying certain of its properties, real estate, and various equipment under operating and, to a lesser extent, finance lease arrangements. The Company’s master lease agreement with a subsidiary of MGP for certain real estate assets is eliminated in consolidation and, accordingly is not included within the disclosures below; refer to Note 12 for further discussion of the master lease.

 

Lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes operating lease cost of $24 million. Other information related to the Company’s operating leases was as follows (in thousands, except for lease term and discount rate information):

NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

October 1 litigation. The Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits related to the October 1, 2017 shooting in Las Vegas. The matters involve in large degree the same legal and factual issues, each case being filed on behalf of individuals who are seeking damages for emotional distress, physical injury, medical expenses, economic damages and/or wrongful death. Lawsuits were first filed in October 2017 and include actions originally filed in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada and in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California. In June 2018, the Company removed to federal court all actions that remained pending in California and Nevada state courts. The Company also initiated declaratory relief actions in federal courts in various districts against individuals who had sued or stated an intent to sue. Additional lawsuits related to this incident may be filed in the future.

 

Since February of 2019, the Company and counsel representing plaintiffs in all pending matters and purporting to represent substantially all claimants known to the Company (collectively, the “Claimants”) have been, and continue to be, engaged in mediation efforts to resolve these matters. After multiple mediation sessions over several months, progress has been made, and while mediation is ongoing, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that a settlement will be reached. The related litigation is stayed pending mediation (the “Mediation Stay”) and the Company agreed to toll the statute of limitations to May 15, 2020, with respect to the Claimants. Although the Company continues to believe it is not legally responsible for the perpetrator’s criminal acts, in the interest of avoiding protracted litigation and the related impact on the community, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that continued mediation communications will result in a settlement with respect to the Claimants of approximately $735 million, subject to and depending on obtaining a minimum level of participation with escalators based on greater participation increasing the amount payable up to $800 million in the event of 100% participation. The Company has $751 million of insurance coverage available to fund this potential settlement, which the Company’s insurers have agreed to fund. The Company intends for substantially all Claimants to be covered by the settlement, however, it remains possible that certain Claimants may not join the settlement and/or additional claims may be asserted. The foregoing determination was made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as codified in ASC 450-20, and is not an admission of any liability on the part of the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

If such a settlement is not consummated, the Mediation Stay will be lifted and the Company is currently unable to reliably predict the future developments in, outcome of, and economic costs and other consequences of any such litigation related to this matter. The Company will continue to investigate the factual and legal defenses, and evaluate these matters based on subsequent events, new information and future circumstances. The Company intends to defend against any such lawsuits and ultimately believes it should prevail, but litigation of this type is inherently unpredictable. Although there are significant procedural, factual and legal issues to be resolved that could significantly affect the Company’s belief as to the possibility of liability, the Company currently believes that it is reasonably possible that it could incur liability in connection with certain of these lawsuits. The foregoing determination was made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as codified in ASC 450-20, and is not an admission of any liability on the part of the Company or any of its affiliates. Given that these cases would be in the early stages, and in light of the uncertainties surrounding them, the Company does not currently possess sufficient information to determine a range of reasonably possible liability. The insurance carriers have not expressed a reservation of rights or coverage defense that affects the Company’s evaluation of potential losses in connection with these claims. The Company’s general liability insurance coverage provides, as part of the contractual “duty to defend”, payment of legal fees and associated costs incurred to defend covered lawsuits that are filed arising from the October 1, 2017 shooting in Las Vegas. Payment of such fees and costs is in addition to (and not limited by) the limits of the insurance policies and does not erode the total liability coverage available.

 

Other litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, most of which relate to routine matters incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Other guarantees. The Company and its subsidiaries are party to various guarantee contracts in the normal course of business, which are generally supported by letters of credit issued by financial institutions. The Company’s senior credit facility limits the amount of letters of credit that can be issued to $250 million, the Operating Partnership’s senior credit facility limits the amount to $75 million, and MGM China’s credit facility limits the amount to $100 million. At March 31, 2019, $12 million in letters of credit were outstanding under the Company’s senior credit facility. No letters of credit were outstanding under the Operating Partnership’s senior credit facility or MGM China’s credit facility at March 31, 2019. The amount of available borrowings under each of the credit facilities are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit.

 

In connection with the Extension Agreement, MGM Grand Paradise is required to provide a bank guarantee in an amount not less than $101 million to the government of Macau within three months from the date of signing of the Extension Agreement to warrant the fulfillment of labor debts upon the expiration of the Extension Agreement in June 2022.

NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Empire City transaction. As further discussed in Note 12, in January 2019, MGP acquired the developed real property associated with Empire City from the Company for consideration that included the issuance of approximately 13 million Operating Partnership units to a subsidiary of the Company. The Company adjusted the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests for the change in noncontrolling interests ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net assets, with offsetting adjustments to capital in excess of par value and accumulated other comprehensive income. Subsequent to the Empire City transaction, the Company indirectly owned 74.6% of the partnership units in the Operating Partnership.

 

MGP Class A share issuance. In January 2019, MGP completed an offering of approximately 20 million of its Class A shares. In connection with the offering, the Operating Partnership issued 20 million Operating Partnership units to MGP. The Company has adjusted the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests as a result of MGP’s Class A share issuance to adjust for the change in noncontrolling interests ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net assets, with offsetting adjustments to capital in excess of par value and accumulated other comprehensive income. Subsequent to MGP’s issuance of the incremental shares, the Company indirectly owned 69.7% of the partnership units in the Operating Partnership.

 

Park MGM Lease Transaction. As further discussed in Note 12, in March 2019, the Company and MGP completed the Park MGM Lease Transaction for which consideration included the issuance of approximately 1 million Operating Partnership units to a subsidiary of the Company. The Company has adjusted the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests for the change in noncontrolling interests ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net assets, with offsetting adjustments to capital in excess of par value and accumulated other comprehensive income. Subsequent to the issuance of the incremental shares, the Company indirectly owned 69.8% of the partnership units in the Operating Partnership.

 

Northfield OpCo transaction.  As further discussed in Note 12, in April 2019, the Company acquired the membership interests of Northfield from MGP for consideration of approximately 9 million Operating Partnership units that were ultimately redeemed by the Operating Partnership and MGP retained the real estate assets. The Company will account for such transaction, which reduces its ownership in the Operating Partnership to 68.8%, within the second quarter 2019.  

 

MGM Resorts International dividends. On April 29, 2019 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share that will be payable on June 14, 2019 to holders of record on June 10, 2019.

MGM Resorts International stock repurchase program. In May 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $2.0 billion stock repurchase program and completed the previously announced $1.0 billion stock repurchase program. Under each stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated agreements. Repurchases of common stock may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing, volume and nature of stock repurchases will be at the sole discretion of management, dependent on market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

 

There were no repurchases made during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The remaining availability under the $2.0 billion stock repurchase program was approximately $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2019.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 10 million shares of its common stock at $36.24 per share for an aggregate amount of $362 million. Repurchased shares were retired.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company’s management views each of its casino resorts as an operating segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate and their management and reporting structure. The Company has aggregated its operating segments into the following reportable segments: Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and MGM China.

 

Las Vegas Strip Resorts.  Las Vegas Strip Resorts consists of the following casino resorts: Bellagio, MGM Grand Las Vegas (including The Signature), Mandalay Bay (including Delano and Four Seasons), The Mirage, Luxor, New York-New York (including the Park), Excalibur, Park MGM (including NoMad Las Vegas) and Circus Circus Las Vegas.

 

Regional Operations. Regional Operations consists of the following casino resorts: MGM Grand Detroit in Detroit, Michigan; Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi; Gold Strike Tunica in Tunica, Mississippi; Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey; MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland; MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts (upon commencing operations in August 2018); and Empire City in Yonkers, New York (upon acquisition in January 2019).

 

MGM China.  MGM China consists of MGM Macau and MGM Cotai.

 

The Company’s operations related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates, MGM Northfield Park (as the operations were owned by MGP until April 1, 2019), and certain other corporate operations and management services have not been identified as separate reportable segments; therefore, these operations are included in “Corporate and other” in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results.

 

16


 

The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary profit measure for its reportable segments and underlying operating segments. Adjusted Property EBITDA is a measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense, which are not allocated to each operating segment, and before rent expense related to the master lease with MGP that eliminates in consolidation. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, restructuring costs (which represents costs related to severance, accelerated stock compensation expense, and consulting fees directly related to the operating model component of the MGM 2020 Plan), and property transactions, net.

NOTE 12 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

MGM China

 

Ms. Ho, Pansy Catilina Chiu King (“Ms. Ho”) is a member of the Board of Directors of, and holds a minority ownership interest in, MGM China. MGM Branding and Development Holdings, Ltd. (together with its subsidiary MGM Development Services, Ltd., “MGM Branding and Development”), an entity included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in which Ms. Ho indirectly holds a noncontrolling interest, is party to a brand license agreement and a development services agreement with MGM China, for which the related amounts are eliminated in consolidation. Entities owned by Ms. Ho received distributions in connection with her ownership of a noncontrolling interest in MGM Branding and Development Holdings, Ltd. of $5 million and $10 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

MGP

 

As described in Note 1, pursuant to the master lease, the tenant leases the real estate assets of The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, The Park, Gold Strike Tunica, MGM Grand Detroit, Beau Rivage, Borgata, Empire City, MGM National Harbor, and MGM Northfield Park (beginning April 1, 2019) from the landlord.

 

Subsequent to the Company completing its acquisition of Empire City in January 2019, MGP acquired the developed real property associated with Empire City from the Company for consideration of approximately $634 million, which included the assumption of debt of approximately $246 million, which was immediately repaid, and the remaining paid through the issuance of Operating Partnership units. The real estate assets of Empire City are leased to the Company pursuant to an amendment to the master lease, increasing the annual rent payment to MGP by $50 million, prorated for the remainder of the lease year. Consistent with the master lease terms, 90% of this rent will be fixed and contractually grow at 2% per year until 2022. In addition, the master lease provides the landlord with a right of first offer with respect to certain undeveloped land adjacent to the property to the extent the Company develops additional gaming facilities, which the landlord may exercise should the Company elect to sell this property in the future.

 

On March 7, 2019, the tenant entered into an amendment to the existing master lease with respect to investments made by the Company related to the Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas property (the “Park MGM Lease Transaction”). In connection with the transaction, the Company received consideration of $638 million, of which approximately $606 million was paid in cash and the remaining paid through the issuance of Operating Partnership units. Additionally, the annual rent payment to MGP was increased by $50 million, prorated for the remainder of the lease year. Consistent with the master lease terms, 90% of this rent will be fixed and contractually grow at 2% per year until 2022.

 

Additionally, on April 1, 2019, the Company acquired the membership interests of Northfield from MGP, which held the operations of Northfield, for fair value of consideration of approximately $301 million consisting of approximately 9 million Operating Partnership units that were ultimately redeemed by the Operating Partnership, and MGP retained the associated real estate assets. The Company then rebranded the property to MGM Northfield Park, which was then added to the existing master lease between the landlord and tenant, increasing the annual rent payment to MGP by $60 million. Consistent with the master lease terms, 90% of this rent will be fixed and contractually grow at 2% per year until 2022.

 

The addition of Empire City and the Park MGM Lease Transaction in January 2019 and March 2019, respectively, increased annual rent payments associated with the master lease for the third lease year to $870 million from $770 million. In connection with the commencement of the fourth lease year on April 1, 2019, as well as the addition of MGM Northfield Park on April 1, 2019, annual rent payments under the master lease increased to $946 million from $870 million. The master lease contains customary events of default and financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2019.

 

All intercompany transactions, including transactions under the master lease and those described above, have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidation of MGP. The public ownership of MGP’s Class A shares is recognized as non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

As of March 31, 2019, all of the Company’s principal debt arrangements are guaranteed by each of its material domestic subsidiaries, other than MGP and the Operating Partnership, MGM Grand Detroit, MGM National Harbor, MGM Springfield, and each of their respective subsidiaries. The Company’s international subsidiaries, including MGM China and its subsidiaries, are not guarantors of such indebtedness. Separate condensed financial statement information for the subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantors as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are presented below. Within the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows, the Company has presented net changes in intercompany accounts as investing activities if the applicable entities have a net asset in intercompany accounts and as a financing activity if the applicable entities have a net intercompany liability balance.

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries collectively own Operating Partnership units and each subsidiary accounts for its respective investment under the equity method within the condensed consolidating financial information presented below. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, for these subsidiaries, such investment constituted continuing involvement, and accordingly, the sale and leaseback of the real estate assets under the master lease did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting. The real estate assets were reflected in the balance sheets of the applicable MGM subsidiaries. In addition, such subsidiaries recognized finance liabilities within “Other long-term obligations” related to rent payments due under the master lease and recognized the related interest expense component of such payments. These real estate assets were also reflected on the balance sheet of the MGP subsidiary that received such assets. The condensed consolidating financial information presented below therefore included the accounting for such activity within the respective columns presented and in the elimination column. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the sale and leaseback of the real estate assets under the master lease now qualify as a passed sale and are determined to be operating leases.  As such, the real estate assets, finance liabilities, and related interest expense component of rent payments are no longer reflected in the results of the applicable MGM subsidiaries.  Instead, the real estate assets are now only reflected on the balance sheet of the MGP subsidiary that received such assets and the MGM subsidiaries have recorded operating lease liabilities and operating ROU assets with the related rental payment reflected within “general and administrative” expense within the condensed consolidating financial information.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2019. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods. MGM Resorts International together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” MGM China Holdings Limited together with its subsidiaries is referred to as “MGM China.” MGM Growth Properties LLC together with its subsidiaries is referred to as “MGP.”

 

Description of our business and key performance indicators

 

Our primary business is the ownership and operation of casino resorts which offer gaming, hotel, convention, dining, entertainment, retail and other resort amenities. We own or invest in several of the finest casino resorts in the world and we continually reinvest in our resorts to maintain our competitive advantage. Most of our revenue is cash-based, through customers wagering with cash or paying for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. We rely heavily on the ability of our resorts to generate operating cash flow to fund capital expenditures, provide excess cash flow for future development, repay debt financings and return capital to our shareholders. We make significant investments in our resorts through newly remodeled hotel rooms, restaurants, entertainment and nightlife offerings, as well as other new features and amenities.

 

In January 2019, we announced the implementation of a company-wide business optimization initiative (the “MGM 2020 Plan”) to further reduce costs, improve efficiencies and position us for growth. We expect to deliver annualized Adjusted EBITDA benefit of $300 million in aggregate, consisting of $200 million by the end of 2020 and an additional $100 million by the end of 2021. The MGM 2020 Plan is a company-wide, business-optimization initiative aimed to leverage a more centralized organization to maximize profitability and, through key investments in technology, lay the groundwork for our digital transformation to drive revenue growth.

 

Also, in January 2019, we acquired the real property and operations associated with Empire City in Yonkers, New York. Subsequently, MGP acquired the developed real property associated with Empire City from us and leased the assets back to us pursuant to an amendment to the master lease. In addition, pursuant to the master lease amendment, we agreed to provide MGP a right of first offer with respect to certain undeveloped land adjacent to the property to the extent that we develop additional gaming facilities and choose to sell or transfer such property in the future.  See Note 3 and Note 12 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding this acquisition.  

 

In March 2019, we entered into an amendment to the existing master lease with respect to investments made by us related to improvements at Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas. Additionally, in April 2019, we completed the acquisition of the membership interests of Northfield Park Associates, LLC, the entity that owned the operating assets associated with Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park (rebranded to MGM Northfield Park), from MGP, and MGP retained the real estate assets. MGM Northfield Park was added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. See Note 12 in the accompanying financial statements for information regarding these transactions with MGP.  

 

Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:

 

 

Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop and slots handle (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. Our normal table games hold percentage is in the range of 22% to 26% of table games drop and 18% to 21% of table games drop at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts and Regional Operations, respectively, and our normal slots hold percentage is in the range of 8.5% to 9% of slots handle and 9% to 9.5% of slots handle at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts and Regional Operations, respectively; and

 

 

Hotel revenue indicators – hotel occupancy (a volume indicator); average daily rate (“ADR,” a price indicator); and revenue per available room (“REVPAR,” a summary measure of hotel results, combining ADR and occupancy rate). Our calculation of ADR, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day, includes the impact of complimentary rooms. Complimentary room rates are determined based on standalone selling price. Because the mix of rooms provided on a complimentary basis, particularly to casino customers, includes a disproportionate suite component, the composite ADR including complimentary rooms is slightly higher than the ADR for cash rooms, reflecting the higher retail value of suites.

Additional key performance indicators at MGM China are:

 

 

Gaming revenue indicators - MGM China utilizes “turnover,” which is the sum of nonnegotiable chip wagers won by MGM China calculated as nonnegotiable chips purchased plus nonnegotiable chips exchanged less nonnegotiable chips returned. Turnover provides a basis for measuring VIP casino win percentage. Win for VIP gaming operations at MGM China is typically in the range of 2.7% to 3.3% of turnover. Win for main floor gaming operations at MGM China is in the range of 16% to 22% of table games drop.

Summary Operating Results

 

Consolidated net revenues increased 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to the operating results of MGM Springfield, which opened in August 2018, a full quarter of operations of MGM Cotai, which opened in February 2018, the addition of  25 new-to-market tables on January 1, 2019 at MGM Cotai, the acquisition of Empire City in January 2019, and from MGP’s acquisition of Northfield in July 2018, as discussed further below.

 

Consolidated operating income increased 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to the increase in revenues discussed above and a decrease in preopening and start-up expenses, partially offset by $41 million in restructuring costs related to severance, accelerated stock compensation expense and consulting fees directly related to the operating model component of the MGM 2020 Plan, an increase in corporate expense, and an increase in depreciation and amortization. Corporate expense, including normal share-based compensation for corporate employees, was $129 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $30 million compared to the prior year quarter. The current quarter included $20 million in Empire City acquisition costs, primarily related to transfer taxes and advisory fees, $12 million in costs incurred to implement the MGM 2020 Plan, of which $4 million is included in the restructuring costs discussed above, and $3 million in finance modernization initiative costs. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to a full quarter of operations at MGM Cotai and the opening of MGM Springfield.

MGM China net revenues were $734 million in the current quarter, a 23% increase compared to the prior year quarter. The current quarter benefited from a full quarter of operations and the addition of 25 new-to-market tables on January 1, 2019 at MGM Cotai, which contributed $301 million of net revenues. Main floor table games win increased 35% compared to the prior year quarter due to a full quarter of operations at MGM Cotai, the addition of new tables discussed above, and an increase in win percentage. VIP table games win increased 2% compared to the prior year quarter due to the opening of VIP junket rooms in the second half of 2018 at MGM Cotai.

 

Corporate and other

 

Corporate and other revenue includes revenues from other corporate operations, management services and reimbursed costs revenue primarily related to our CityCenter management agreement and $68 million in net revenues from MGP’s Northfield casino. Reimbursed costs revenue represents reimbursement of costs, primarily payroll-related, incurred by us in connection with the provision of management services and was $112 million and $103 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. See below for additional discussion of our share of operating results from unconsolidated affiliates.

Las Vegas Strip Resorts

 

Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts decreased 10% and Adjusted Property EBITDA margin decreased 311 basis points to 28.3% compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to a 13% decrease in casino revenue, as discussed above, and an increase in general and administrative expenses.

 

Regional Operations

 

Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Regional Operations increased 24% compared to the prior year quarter and benefited from the opening of MGM Springfield, the acquisition of Empire City and an increase in casino revenue at MGM National Harbor, as discussed above. Adjusted Property EBITDA margin increased by 61 basis points compared to the prior year quarter to 25.7%, primarily as a result of an increase in casino and non-casino revenues partially offset by continued ramp up of operations at MGM Springfield.

29


 

 

MGM China

 

MGM China’s Adjusted Property EBITDA increased 26% compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to the increase in casino revenue at MGM Cotai, as discussed above. Adjusted Property EBITDA margin was 26.0%, a 52 basis points increase compared to the prior year quarter due to continued ramp up of operations at MGM Cotai. Excluding intercompany license fees of $13 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, Adjusted Property EBITDA increased 26% compared to the prior year quarter.

 

Corporate and other

 

Adjusted Property EBITDA loss related to corporate and other for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased compared to Adjusted Property EBITDA loss in the prior year quarter due primarily to the inclusion of $23 million of Adjusted Property EBITDA related to MGP’s Northfield casino and an increase in operating results from our unconsolidated affiliates, further discussed below, partially offset by an increase in corporate expense as described in “Summary Operating Results” .

Our share of CityCenter’s operating income, including certain basis difference adjustments, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $35 million compared to $28 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in casino and non-casino revenues. At Aria, casino revenues increased 27% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a 24% increase in table games win. CityCenter’s non-casino revenues increased 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year quarter primarily related to increases in catering and banquet revenue, restaurant revenue, and a 4% increase in rooms revenue due primarily to a 6% increase in REVPAR at Aria.

 

Non-operating Results

 

Interest Expense

 

Gross interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $28 million compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in the average debt outstanding relating to our senior notes and our credit facilities, partially offset by a decrease in weighted average interest rate of our senior notes. Capitalized interest was $3 million and $23 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in capitalized interest was due primarily to completion of MGM Springfield, which opened in August 2018, and substantial completion of MGM Cotai, which opened in February 2018. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on long-term debt and see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional discussion on issuances and repayments of long-term debt and other sources and uses of cash.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was a provision of 51.9% compared to a benefit of 47.2% in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was unfavorably impacted by the remeasurement of Macau deferred taxes due to the extension of the subconcession agreement in Macau, the recording of deferred state taxes resulting from the Empire City Acquisition and adjustments to the Company’s foreign tax credit valuation allowance.  The prior year quarter was favorably impacted by a measurement period adjustment for U.S. Tax Reform as well as the reversal of Macau shareholder dividend tax accrued prior to the extension of its current annual fee arrangement.

 

The annual effective tax rate calculation for all periods is impacted by assumptions made regarding projected foreign tax credit usage and valuation allowance. See Note 6 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Non-GAAP Measures

“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, restructuring costs (which represents costs related to severance, accelerated stock compensation expense, and consulting fees directly related to the operating model component of the MGM 2020 Plan), and property transactions, net. We utilize “Adjusted Property EBITDA” as the primary profit measures for our reportable segments and underlying operating segments. Adjusted Property EBITDA is a measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense, which are not allocated to each operating segment, and before rent expense related to the master lease with MGP that eliminates in consolidation. “Adjusted Property EBITDA margin” is Adjusted Property EBITDA divided by related segment net revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA information is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because we believe these measures are 1) widely used measures of operating performance in the gaming industry, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. We believe that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Property EBITDA, and Adjusted Property EBITDA margin may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods being presented. Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when we are developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within our resorts, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period. In addition, capital allocation, tax planning, financing and stock compensation awards are all managed at the corporate level. Therefore, we use Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of our operating resorts’ performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Property EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA margin should not be construed as alternatives to operating income or net income, as indicators of our performance; or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as measures of liquidity; or as any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Property EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA margin. Also, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Property EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA margin information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Property EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA margin in a different manner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows

 

Operating activities. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but can be affected by changes in working capital, the timing of significant interest payments, tax payments or refunds, and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates. Cash provided by operating activities was $400 million in the current quarter compared to cash provided by operating activities of $578 million in the prior year quarter. Operating cash flows decreased due primarily to the prior year quarter benefiting from a change in working capital related to the timing of significant purchases of chips by gaming promoters at MGM China as well as an increase in the current quarter in cash paid for interest, as discussed in “Non-operating Results,” partially offset by an increase in consolidated operating income.

 

Investing activities. Our investing cash flows can fluctuate significantly from year to year depending on our decisions with respect to strategic capital investments in new or existing resorts, business acquisitions or dispositions, and the timing of maintenance capital expenditures to maintain the quality of our resorts. Capital expenditures related to regular investments in our existing resorts can also vary depending on timing of larger remodel projects related to our public spaces and hotel rooms.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $727 million in the current quarter compared to cash used in investing activities of $432 million the prior year quarter. The change was due primarily to the $536 million outflow for the Empire City acquisition, partially offset by a decrease of $235 million in capital expenditures. Additionally, we received distributions from unconsolidated affiliates in the current quarter consisting of our $32 million share of a $64 million annual dividend paid by CityCenter in March 2019. We had no investing cash flows related to distributions from unconsolidated affiliates in the prior year quarter. The decrease in capital expenditures primarily reflects substantial completion of our development projects at MGM Cotai, MGM Springfield and the rebranding at Park MGM, as discussed in further detail below.

 

32


 

Capital Expenditures

 

We made capital expenditures of $183 million in the current quarter, of which $44 million related to MGM China. Capital expenditures at MGM China included $32 million related to projects at MGM Cotai and $12 million related to projects at MGM Macau. Capital expenditures at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and corporate entities of $140 million included $24 million related to the construction of MGM Springfield, $22 million related to the Park MGM rebranding project, as well as expenditures relating to information technology, the expansion of the convention center at MGM Grand Las Vegas and various room, restaurant, and entertainment venue remodels.

 

We made capital expenditures of $419 million the prior year quarter, of which $139 million related to MGM China, excluding development fees and capitalized interest on development fees eliminated in consolidation. Capital expenditures at MGM China included $126 million related to the construction of MGM Cotai and $13 million related to projects at MGM Macau. Capital expenditures at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and corporate entities of $279 million included $88 million related to the construction of MGM Springfield, $43 million related to the Park MGM rebranding project, $45 million related to a deposit for the purchase of an airplane, as well as expenditures relating to the expansion of the convention center at MGM Grand Las Vegas and various room, restaurant, and entertainment venue remodels.

 

Financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $25 million in the current quarter compared to cash used in financing activities of $117 million in the prior year quarter. The change was due primarily to net proceeds from MGP’s issuance of Class A shares in January 2019 of $548 million, partially offset by net debt repayments of $390 million in the current quarter compared to net borrowings of $378 in the prior year quarter. Additionally, we repurchased $362 million of common stock in the prior year quarter compared to no repurchases during the current quarter.

 

Borrowings (Repayments) of Debt  

 

During the current quarter, we repaid net debt of $390 million which primarily consisted of the repayment of our $850 million 8.625% notes due 2019, the Operating Partnership’s issuance of $750 million 5.75% senior notes due 2027, $320 million of net borrowings on our senior credit facility, $140 million of net repayments on our MGM China credit facility, and $470 million of net repayments on the Operating Partnership’s senior credit facility. The proceeds of the Operating Partnership’s $750 million notes issuance along with the proceeds from MGP’s Class A share issuance, discussed above, were primarily used to finance MGP’s acquisition of the real property associated with Empire City, finance the Park MGM Lease Transaction, and repay amounts drawn under the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The draws under our senior credit facility were primarily used to repay our senior notes due 2019, partially finance our acquisition of Empire City and pay dividends. Additionally, we paid $10 million of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the Operating Partnership’s senior notes.

During the prior year quarter, we borrowed net debt of $378 million which consisted of $520 million of net draws on our senior secured revolving credit facility of which a portion was used to repurchase and retire $362 million of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plan in March 2018 and to pay $68 million of dividends to common shareholders. The draws were primarily offset by $89 million of scheduled amortization payments on our credit facilities, and $51 million of payments on MGM China’s revolving credit facility. Additionally, we paid $5 million of debt issuance costs related to the repricing of the Operating Partnership’s term loan B facility in March 2018.

 

Dividends, Distributions to Noncontrolling Interest Owners and Share Repurchases

 

In March 2018, we repurchased and retired $362 million of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plan. We did not repurchase any shares during the current quarter and the remaining availability under our $2.0 billion stock repurchased program was approximately $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2019.

 

During the current quarter we paid a dividend of $0.13 per share, totaling $70 million, compared to a dividend of $0.12 per share, totaling $68 million, paid in the prior year quarter.

 

The Operating Partnership paid the following distributions to its partnership unit holders during the current and prior year quarters:

 

 

$119 million of distributions paid in January 2019, of which we received $87 million and MGP received $32 million, which MGP concurrently paid as a dividend to its Class A shareholders; and

 

$112 million distribution paid in January 2018, of which we received $82 million and MGP received $30 million, which MGP concurrently paid as a dividend to its Class A shareholders.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

 

Anticipated uses of cash. We require a certain amount of cash on hand to operate our resorts. In addition to required cash on hand for operations, we utilize corporate cash management procedures to minimize the amount of cash held on hand or in banks. Funds are swept from the accounts at most of our domestic resorts daily into central bank accounts, and excess funds are invested overnight or are used to repay borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. In addition, from time to time we may use excess funds to repurchase our outstanding debt and equity securities subject to limitations in our senior secured credit facility and Delaware law, as applicable. We have significant outstanding debt, interest payments, and contractual obligations in addition to planned capital expenditures and acquisitions.

 

We held cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion at March 31, 2019, of which MGM China held $432 million and the Operating Partnership held $74 million. At March 31, 2019, we had $14.9 billion in principal amount of indebtedness, including $1.1 billion of borrowings outstanding under our $2.3 billion senior secured credit facility, $2.3 billion outstanding under the $3.6 billion Operating Partnership credit facility, and $2.3 billion outstanding under the $2.7 billion MGM China credit facility. We expect to meet our debt maturities and planned capital expenditure requirements with future anticipated operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our credit facilities. We expect to make domestic capital investments at our resorts and corporate entities of $600 million to $650 million, which excludes $45 million to $50 million of construction closeout costs at MGM Springfield. Additionally, we expect to make capital investments at MGM China of $350 million to $375 million, which includes $250 million of construction closeout costs at MGM Cotai and $100 million to $125 million of maintenance capital expenditures.

 

In April 2019, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2027. We used the net proceeds from the offering to fund the purchase of $639 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2020 and $233 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 5.25% senior notes due 2020 through our cash tender offers. We expect to meet our remaining debt maturities and planned capital expenditure requirements with future anticipated operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our credit facilities.

 

On March 6, 2019, MGM China’s Board of Directors announced it will recommend a final dividend for 2018 of $16 million, to be paid in 2019 if approved at the MGM China 2019 annual shareholders meeting, of which we would receive $9 million and noncontrolling interests would receive $7 million.

 

On April 29, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share that will be payable on June 14, 2019 to holders of record on June 10, 2019.

 

In April 2019 the Operating Partnership paid $139 million of distributions to its partnership unit holders, of which we received $97 million and MGP received $42 million, which MGP concurrently paid as a dividend to its Class A shareholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since year end.

 

Market Risk

In addition to the inherent risks associated with our normal operations, we are also exposed to additional market risks. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed rate borrowings and short-term borrowings under our bank credit facilities and by utilizing interest rate swap agreements that provide for a fixed interest payment on the Operating Partnership’s term loan B facility. A change in interest rates generally does not have an impact upon our future earnings and cash flow for fixed-rate debt instruments. As fixed-rate debt matures, however, and if additional debt is acquired to fund the debt repayment, future earnings and cash flow may be affected by changes in interest rates. This effect would be realized in the periods subsequent to the periods when the debt matures. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions.

34


 

As of March 31, 2019, variable rate borrowings represented approximately 30% of our total borrowings after giving effect to the $500 million and $700 million notional amount Operating Partnership interest rate swaps with weighted average fixed rates that we pay 1.764% and 1.901%, respectively. In December 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into additional interest rate swap agreements, for which the Operating Partnership will pay a weighted average 2.735% on a total notional amount of $400 million. These swaps will be effective December 31, 2019, at which point the Operating Partnership will be paying a combined weighted average 2.066%. The following table provides additional information about our gross long-term debt subject to changes in interest rates excluding the effect of the Operating Partnership interest rate swaps discussed above:

In addition to the risk associated with our variable interest rate debt, we are also exposed to risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, mainly related to MGM China and to our operations at MGM Macau and MGM Cotai. While recent fluctuations in exchange rates have not been significant, potential changes in policy by governments or fluctuations in the economies of the United States, China, Macau or Hong Kong could cause variability in these exchange rates. We cannot assure you that the Hong Kong dollar will continue to be pegged to the U.S. dollar or the current peg rate for the Hong Kong dollar will remain at the same level. The possible changes to the peg of the Hong Kong dollar may result in severe fluctuations in the exchange rate thereof. As of March 31, 2019, a 1% increase in the Hong Kong dollar (the functional currency of MGM China) to the U.S. dollar exchange rate would impact the carrying value of our cash balance by $4 million and a 1% decrease in the exchange rate would impact the carrying value of our debt balance by $23 million.

 

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “will,” “may” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding expected market growth in Macau, our ability to generate significant cash flow and execute on ongoing and future projects, such as our MGM 2020 Plan, and the expected results of the MGM 2020 Plan, including our ability to achieve our MGM 2020 Plan goals and targets, amounts we will spend in capital expenditures and investments, and our expectations with respect to future cash dividends on our common stock, dividends and distributions we will receive from MGM China, the Operating Partnership or CityCenter. The foregoing is not a complete list of all forward-looking statements we make.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions and the following:

 

our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments, including the fixed component of our rent payments to MGP, could adversely affect our development options and financial results and impact our ability to satisfy our obligations;

 

current and future economic, capital and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to service or refinance our indebtedness and to make planned expenditures;

 

restrictions and limitations in the agreements governing our senior credit facility and other senior indebtedness could significantly affect our ability to operate our business, as well as significantly affect our liquidity;

 

the fact that we are required to pay a significant portion of our cash flows as fixed and percentage rent under the master lease, which could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations and growth, service our indebtedness and limit our ability to react to competitive and economic changes;

35


 

 

significant competition we face with respect to destination travel locations generally and with respect to our peers in the industries in which we compete;

 

the fact that our businesses are subject to extensive regulation and the cost of compliance or failure to comply with such regulations could adversely affect our business;

 

the impact on our business of economic and market conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate and in the locations in which our customers reside;

 

the possibility that we may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of our MGM 2020 Plan;

 

our ability to pay ongoing regular dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and certain other limitations;

 

a significant number of our domestic gaming facilities are leased and could experience risks associated with leased property, including risks relating to lease termination, lease extensions, charges and our relationship with the lessor, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations;

 

financial, operational, regulatory or other potential challenges that may arise with respect to MGP, as our sole lessor for a significant portion of our properties, may adversely impair our operations;

 

the fact that MGP has adopted a policy under which certain transactions with us, including transactions involving consideration in excess of $25 million, must be approved in accordance with certain specified procedures;

 

restrictions on our ability to have any interest or involvement in gaming businesses in China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan, other than through MGM China;

 

the ability of the Macau government to terminate MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession under certain circumstances without compensating MGM Grand Paradise, exercise its redemption right with respect to the subconcession, or refuse to grant MGM Grand Paradise an extension of the subconcession in 2022;

 

the dependence of MGM Grand Paradise upon gaming promoters for a significant portion of gaming revenues in Macau;

 

changes to fiscal and tax policies;

 

our ability to recognize our foreign tax credit deferred tax asset and the variability of the valuation allowance we may apply against such deferred tax asset;

 

extreme weather conditions or climate change may cause property damage or interrupt business;

 

the concentration of a majority of our major gaming resorts on the Las Vegas Strip;

 

the fact that we extend credit to a large portion of our customers and we may not be able to collect such gaming receivables;

 

the potential occurrence of impairments to goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or long-lived assets which could negatively affect future profits;

 

the susceptibility of leisure and business travel, especially travel by air, to global geopolitical events, such as terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or acts of war or hostility;

 

the fact that co-investing in properties, including our investment in CityCenter, decreases our ability to manage risk;

 

the fact that future construction, development, or expansion projects will be subject to significant development and construction risks;

36


 

 

the fact that our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all possible losses that our properties could suffer, our insurance costs may increase and we may not be able to obtain similar insurance coverage in the future;

 

the fact that a failure to protect our trademarks could have a negative impact on the value of our brand names and adversely affect our business;

 

the risks associated with doing business outside of the United States and the impact of any potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other similar anti-corruption laws;

 

risks related to pending claims that have been, or future claims that may be brought against us;

 

the fact that a significant portion of our labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements;

 

the sensitivity of our business to energy prices and a rise in energy prices could harm our operating results;

 

the potential that failure to maintain the integrity of our computer systems and internal customer information could result in damage to our reputation and/or subject us to fines, payment of damages, lawsuits or other restrictions on our use or transfer of data;

 

the potential reputational harm as a result of increased scrutiny related to our corporate social responsibility efforts;

 

the potential failure of future efforts to expand through investments in other businesses and properties or through alliances or acquisitions, or to divest some of our properties and other assets;

 

increases in gaming taxes and fees in the jurisdictions in which we operate; and

 

the potential for conflicts of interest to arise because certain of our directors and officers are also directors of MGM China, which is a publicly traded company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

 

You should also be aware that while we from time to time communicate with securities analysts, we do not disclose to them any material non-public information, internal forecasts or other confidential business information. Therefore, you should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst, irrespective of the content of the statement or report. To the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain projections, forecasts or opinions, those reports are not our responsibility and are not endorsed by us.

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We incorporate by reference the information appearing under “Market Risk” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) were effective as of March 31, 2019 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and regulations and to provide that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. This conclusion is based on an evaluation as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act conducted under the supervision and participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer along with company management.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we implemented certain internal controls in connection with our adoption of the lease accounting standard (ASC 842).  There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

 

October 1 litigation. We and/or certain of our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits related to the October 1, 2017 shooting in Las Vegas. The matters involve in large degree the same legal and factual issues, each case being filed on behalf of individuals who are seeking damages for emotional distress, physical injury, medical expenses, economic damages and/or wrongful death. Lawsuits were first filed in October 2017 and include actions originally filed in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada and in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California. In June 2018, we removed to federal court all actions that remained pending in California and Nevada state courts. We also initiated declaratory relief actions in federal courts in various districts against individuals who had sued or stated an intent to sue. Additional lawsuits related to this incident may be filed in the future.

 

Since February of 2019, we and counsel representing plaintiffs in all pending matters and purporting to represent substantially all claimants known to us (collectively, the “Claimants”) have been, and continue to be, engaged in mediation efforts to resolve these matters. After multiple mediation sessions over several months, progress has been made, and while mediation is ongoing, we believe it is reasonably possible that a settlement will be reached. The related litigation is stayed pending mediation (the “Mediation Stay”) and we agreed to toll the statute of limitations to May 15, 2020, with respect to the Claimants. Although we continue to believe we are not legally responsible for the perpetrator’s criminal acts, in the interest of avoiding protracted litigation and the related impact on the community, we believe it is reasonably possible that continued mediation communications will result in a settlement with respect to the Claimants of approximately $735 million, subject to and depending on obtaining a minimum level of participation with escalators based on greater participation increasing the amount payable up to $800 million in the event of 100% participation. We have $751 million of insurance coverage available to fund this potential settlement, which our insurers have agreed to fund. We intend for substantially all Claimants to be covered by the settlement, however, it remains possible that certain Claimants may not join the settlement and/or additional claims may be asserted. The foregoing determination was made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as codified in ASC 450-20, and is not an admission of any liability on our part or any of our affiliates.

 

If such a settlement is not consummated, the Mediation Stay will be lifted and we are currently unable to reliably predict the future developments in, outcome of, and economic costs and other consequences of any such litigation related to this matter. We will continue to investigate the factual and legal defenses, and evaluate these matters based on subsequent events, new information and future circumstances. We intend to defend against any such lawsuits and ultimately believe we should prevail, but litigation of this type is inherently unpredictable. Although there are significant procedural, factual and legal issues to be resolved that could significantly affect our belief as to the possibility of liability, we currently believe that it is reasonably possible that we could incur liability in connection with certain of these lawsuits. The foregoing determination was made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as codified in ASC 450-20, and is not an admission of any liability on our part or any of our affiliates. Given that these cases would be in the early stages, and in light of the uncertainties surrounding them, we do not currently possess sufficient information to determine a range of reasonably possible liability. The insurance carriers have not expressed a reservation of rights or coverage defense that affects our evaluation of potential losses in connection with these claims. Our general liability insurance coverage provides, as part of the contractual “duty to defend”, payment of legal fees and associated costs incurred to defend covered lawsuits that are filed arising from the October 1, 2017 shooting in Las Vegas. Payment of such fees and costs is in addition to (and not limited by) the limits of the insurance policies and does not erode the total liability coverage available.

 

Other. We are a party to various legal proceedings, most of which relate to routine matters incidental to our business. Management does not believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
