NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“Red Rock,” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates six major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market.

The Company owns all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and has an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through its ownership of limited liability interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At June 30, 2022, the Company held 57% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and is designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. The Company controls and operates all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conducts all of its operations through these entities.

In June 2022, the Company decided to permanently close its Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson and Fiesta Rancho properties, which have been closed since March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The facilities at these properties are expected to be demolished to reposition the land for sale. See Note 3 for additional information.

A subsidiary of Station LLC managed Graton Resort, a casino in northern California, on behalf of a Native American tribe through February 5, 2021. The property was temporarily closed from March 17, 2020 through June 17, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The management agreement was originally expected to expire in November 2020 but was extended as a result of the pandemic through February 5, 2021, when the tribe terminated the Company’s management role at the facility. Whether the management agreement provides for an additional extension beyond that date is in dispute.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. In the first quarter of 2022, management determined that the held for sale criteria were no longer met for a parcel of land that was previously classified as held for sale, and the carrying amount of $50.6 million was reclassified to Land held for development at December 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

Station Holdco and Station LLC are variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and Station Holdco, and presents the interest in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company has investments in three 50% owned smaller casino properties which are joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2. Noncontrolling Interest in Station Holdco

As discussed in Note 1, Red Rock holds a controlling interest in and consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its subsidiaries and Station Holdco. The interests in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock are presented within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The ownership of the LLC Units is summarized as follows:


	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
	Units	Ownership %		Units	Ownership %
Red Rock	62,045,936	57.4	%	64,425,248	58.4	%
Noncontrolling interest holders	45,985,804	42.6	%	45,985,804	41.6	%
Total	108,031,740	100.0	%	110,411,052	100.0	%

The Company uses monthly weighted-average LLC Unit ownership to calculate the pretax income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of Station Holdco attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders. Station Holdco equity attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders is rebalanced, as needed, to reflect LLC Unit ownership at period end. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, rebalancing was due primarily to Station Holdco’s repurchases of LLC Units from Red Rock in connection with the Company’s repurchases of Class A shares..

3. Asset Impairment

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company’s long-lived asset impairment tests are performed at the reporting unit level, and each of its operating properties is considered a separate reporting unit.

The Company’s decision in June 2022 to permanently close three of its properties as described in Note 1 was an indicator of impairment. As a result, the Company tested each of these reporting units for impairment as of June 30, 2022 and recorded asset impairment charges totaling $79.0 million, primarily representing the write-off of the facilities that are expected to be demolished. The recoverability of the carrying amounts of the remaining assets, primarily land, was evaluated based on market prices for similar assets, which are considered Level 2 inputs under the fair value measurement hierarchy. There was no goodwill associated with the properties.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, asset impairment related to the pending sale of Palms Casino Resort, which was completed in December 2021.

4. Native American Development

The Company has development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (the “Mono”), a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, which were originally entered into in 2003. In August 2014, the Mono and the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. Pursuant to those agreements, the Company will assist the Mono in developing and operating a gaming and entertainment facility (the “North Fork Project”) to be located in Madera County, California. The Company purchased a 305-acre parcel of land adjacent to Highway 99 north of the city of Madera (the “North Fork Site”), which was taken into trust for the benefit of the Mono by the Department of the Interior (“DOI”) in February 2013.

As currently contemplated, the North Fork Project is expected to include approximately 2,000 Class III slot machines, approximately 40 table games and several restaurants, and future development costs of the project are expected to be between $350 million and $400 million. Development of the North Fork Project is subject to certain governmental and regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, approval of the management agreement by the Chair of the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”).

(UNAUDITED)

Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the Company has agreed to arrange the financing for the ongoing development costs and construction of the facility, and has contributed significant financial support to the North Fork Project. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has paid approximately $51.9 million of reimbursable advances to the Mono, primarily to complete the environmental impact study, purchase the North Fork Site and pay the costs of litigation. The advances are expected to be repaid from the proceeds of the project’s financing or from the Mono’s cash flows from the North Fork Project’s operations; however, there can be no assurance that the advances will be repaid. The carrying amount of the advances was reduced to fair value upon the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting in 2011. At June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the advances was $36.8 million. The Company earns a return on the advances to the Mono. Due to uncertainty surrounding the timing and amount of the stated return, the Company will recognize the return when it is received.

The Company expects to receive a development fee of 4% of the costs of construction (as defined in the Development Agreement) for its development services, which will be paid upon the commencement of gaming operations at the facility. In March 2018, the Mono submitted a proposed Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) to the NIGC. The Management Agreement allows the Company to receive a management fee of 30% of the North Fork Project’s net income. The Management Agreement and the Development Agreement have a term of seven years from the opening of the North Fork Project. The Management Agreement includes termination provisions whereby either party may terminate the agreement for cause, and the Management Agreement may also be terminated at any time upon agreement of the parties. There is no provision in the Management Agreement allowing the tribe to buy-out the agreement prior to its expiration. The Management Agreement provides that the Company will train the Mono tribal members such that they may assume responsibility for managing the North Fork Project upon the expiration of the agreement.

Upon termination or expiration of the Management Agreement and Development Agreement, the Mono will continue to be obligated to repay any unpaid principal and interest on the advances from the Company, as well as certain other amounts that may be due, such as management fees. Amounts due to the Company under the Development Agreement and Management Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the North Fork Project except the North Fork Site. In addition, the Development Agreement and Management Agreement contain waivers of the Mono’s sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of enforcing the agreements or permitting or compelling arbitration and other remedies.

The timing of this type of project is difficult to predict and is dependent upon the receipt of the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance as to when, or if, these approvals will be obtained. The Company currently estimates that construction of the North Fork Project may begin in the next six months and estimates that the North Fork Project would be completed and opened for business approximately 15 to 18 months after construction begins. There can be no assurance, however, that the North Fork Project will be completed and opened within this time frame or at all. The Company expects to assist the Mono in obtaining financing for the North Fork Project once all necessary regulatory approvals have been received and prior to commencement of construction; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing for the North Fork Project on acceptable terms or at all.

The Company has evaluated the likelihood that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed and opened, and has concluded that the likelihood of successful completion is in the range of 75% to 85% at June 30, 2022. The Company’s evaluation is based on its consideration of all available positive and negative evidence about the status of the North Fork Project, including, but not limited to, the status of required regulatory approvals, as well as the progress being made toward the achievement of all milestones and the successful resolution of all litigation and contingencies. There can be no assurance that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed or that future events and circumstances will not change the Company’s estimates of the timing, scope, and potential for successful completion or that any such changes will not be material. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all of its investment in the North Fork Project even if it is successfully completed and opened for business.

The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at June 30, 2022 of each of the critical milestones necessary to complete the North Fork Project.


Federally recognized as an Indian tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”)			Yes
Date of recognition			Federal recognition was terminated in 1966 and restored in 1983.
Tribe has possession of or access to usable land upon which the project is to be built			The DOI accepted approximately 305 acres of land for the project into trust for the benefit of the Mono in February 2013.
Status of obtaining regulatory and governmental approvals:
Tribal-state compact			A compact was negotiated and signed by the Governor of California and the Mono in August 2012. The California State Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 277 (“AB 277”) which ratified the Compact in May 2013 and June 2013, respectively. Opponents of the North Fork Project qualified a referendum, “Proposition 48,” for a state-wide ballot challenging the legislature’s ratification of the Compact. In November 2014, Proposition 48 failed. The State took the position that the failure of Proposition 48 nullified the ratification of the Compact and, therefore, the Compact did not take effect under California law. In March 2015, the Mono filed suit against the State to obtain a compact with the State or procedures from the Secretary of the Interior under which Class III gaming may be conducted on the North Fork Site. In July 2016, the DOI issued Secretarial procedures (the “Secretarial Procedures”) pursuant to which the Mono may conduct Class III gaming on the North Fork Site.
Approval of gaming compact by DOI			The Compact was submitted to the DOI in July 2013. In October 2013, notice of the Compact taking effect was published in the Federal Register. The Secretarial Procedures supersede and replace the Compact.
Record of decision regarding environmental impact published by BIA			In November 2012, the record of decision for the Environmental Impact Statement for the North Fork Project was issued by the BIA. In December 2012, the Notice of Intent to take land into trust was published in the Federal Register.
BIA accepting usable land into trust on behalf of the tribe			The North Fork Site was accepted into trust in February 2013.
Approval of management agreement by NIGC			In December 2015, the Mono submitted a Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, and certain related documents, to the NIGC. In July 2016, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. In March 2018, the Mono submitted the Management Agreement and certain related documents to the NIGC. In June 2018, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Management Agreement. In April 2021, the Mono received an issues letter from the NIGC identifying issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. Approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC is expected to occur following the Mono’s response to the issues letter. The Company believes the Management Agreement will be approved because the terms and conditions thereof are consistent with the provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”).
Gaming licenses:
Type			The North Fork Project will include the operation of Class II and Class III gaming, which are allowed pursuant to the terms of the Secretarial Procedures and IGRA, following approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC.
Number of gaming devices allowed			The Secretarial Procedures allow for the operation of a maximum of 2,000 Class III slot machines at the facility during the first two years of operation and thereafter up to 2,500 Class III slot machines. There is no limit on the number of Class II gaming devices that the Mono can offer.
Agreements with local authorities			The Mono has entered into memoranda of understanding with the City of Madera, the County of Madera and the Madera Irrigation District under which the Mono agreed to pay one-time and recurring mitigation contributions, subject to certain contingencies. The memoranda of understanding have all been amended to restructure the timing of certain payments due to delays in the development of the North Fork Project.

Following is a discussion of the unresolved legal matter related to the North Fork Project.

Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians v. Brown. In March 2016, Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians (“Picayune”) filed a complaint for declaratory relief and petition for writ of mandate in California Superior Court for the County of Madera against Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., alleging that the referendum that invalidated the Compact also invalidated Governor Brown’s concurrence with the Secretary of the Interior’s determination that gaming on the North Fork Site would be in the best interest of the Mono and not detrimental to the surrounding community. The complaint seeks to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence and was stayed from December 2016 to September 2021, when the Supreme Court of California denied the Mono’s and the State of California’s petition for review in Stand Up for California! v. Brown. As a result of the denial, litigation of this matter has resumed and dispositive motions have been filed by Picayune, the State of California and the Mono.

Credit Facility

Station LLC’s credit facility consists of the Term Loan B Facility, the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “Credit Facility”). The Term Loan B Facility bears interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either LIBOR plus 2.25% or base rate plus 1.25%. The Term Loan A Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either LIBOR plus an amount ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% or base rate plus an amount ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%, depending on Station LLC’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The Credit Facility contains a number of customary covenants, including requirements that Station LLC maintain throughout the term of the Credit Facility and measured as of the end of each quarter, an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 and a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, with step-downs over the term of the Credit Facility, ranging from 6.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2022 to 5.25 to 1.00 at December 31, 2023 and thereafter. A breach of the financial ratio covenants shall only become an event of default under the Term Loan B Facility if the lenders within the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility take certain affirmative actions after the occurrence of a default of such financial ratio covenants. Management believes the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at June 30, 2022.

Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2022, Station LLC’s borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility, was $1.0 billion, which was net of $29.4 million in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations.

At June 30, 2022, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases under the program was $31.9 million. On August 4, 2022, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $300.0 million of its Class A common stock through June 30, 2024, thereby increasing the remaining amount authorized for repurchases under the program to $331.9 million.

At June 30, 2022, unrecognized share-based compensation cost was $49.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.

9. Income Taxes

Red Rock is a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes on its income, primarily pass-through income from Station Holdco based upon Red Rock’s economic interest held in Station Holdco. Station Holdco is a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. Station Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their respective share of Station Holdco’s pass-through taxable income.

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes necessary cumulative adjustments to the total tax provision or benefit. The current taxes are estimated for the period and the balance sheet is adjusted to reflect such taxes currently payable or receivable. The remaining tax provision or benefit is recorded as deferred taxes.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 19.9% and 14.3%, respectively, as compared to 0.4% and 2.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 differs from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances recorded against a portion of its outside basis difference of its interest in Station Holdco and because its effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that Station Holdco operates as a limited liability company, which is not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the Company is not taxed on the portion of Station Holdco’s income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

As a result of the Company’s 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”) and certain reorganization transactions, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset resulting from the outside basis difference of its interest in Station Holdco. The Company also recorded a deferred tax asset for its liability related to payments to be made pursuant to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) representing 85% of the tax savings the Company expects to realize from the amortization deductions associated with the step-up in the basis of depreciable assets under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. This deferred tax asset will be recovered as cash payments are made to the TRA participants. In addition, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets related to net operating losses.

The Company considers both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is not required to the extent that, in management’s judgment, positive evidence exists with a magnitude and duration sufficient to result in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company determined that the deferred tax asset related to the LLC Units issued in the IPO and reorganization transactions is not expected to be realized unless the Company disposes of its investment in Station Holdco. As such, the Company

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

established a valuation allowance against this portion of its deferred tax asset. The Company recognizes changes to the valuation allowance through the provision for income tax or other comprehensive income, as applicable.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the TRA with certain owners who held LLC Units prior to the IPO. In the event that such parties exchange any or all of their LLC Units for Class A common stock or cash, at the election of the Company, the TRA requires the Company to make payments to such holders for 85% of the tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of such exchange. The Company expects to realize these tax benefits based on current projections of taxable income. The annual tax benefits are computed by calculating the income taxes due, including such tax benefits, and the income taxes due without such benefits.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s liability under the TRA was $27.2 million, of which $9.0 million was payable to entities related to Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, Vice Chairman of the Board and a vice president of the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, an exchange of LLC Units resulted in an increase in the amount payable under the TRA liability of $0.6 million, which was recorded through stockholders’ equity. No LLC Units were exchanged during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company expects to pay $6.7 million of the TRA liability within the next twelve months.

The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates each year and the tax rate then applicable. The payment obligations under the TRA are Red Rock’s obligations and are not obligations of Station Holdco or Station LLC. Payments are generally due within a specified period of time following the filing of the Company’s annual tax return and interest on such payments will accrue from the original due date (without extensions) of the income tax return until the date paid. Payments not made within the required period after the filing of the income tax return generally accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.00%.

The TRA will remain in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA. The TRA will also terminate if the Company breaches its obligations under the TRA or upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control. If the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA, or if the TRA is terminated early in accordance with its terms, the Company’s payment obligations would be accelerated based upon certain assumptions, including the assumption that the Company would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize such tax benefits, and may substantially exceed the actual benefits, if any, the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRA.

10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to Red Rock by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive shares, including shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, based on the application of the treasury stock method, and outstanding Class B common stock that is exchangeable, along with an equal number of LLC Units, for Class A common stock, based on the application of the if-converted method. Dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 represented nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share represented outstanding shares of Class B common stock, nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. All other potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Shares of Class B common stock are not entitled to share in the earnings of the Company and are not participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits relating to routine matters incidental to their business. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of any legal matters and litigation inherently involves significant risks. The Company does not believe there are any legal matters outstanding that would have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

12. Segments

The Company views each of its Las Vegas casino properties and its Native American management arrangements as individual operating segments. The Company aggregates all of its Las Vegas operating segments into one reportable segment because all of its Las Vegas properties offer similar products, cater to the same customer base, have the same regulatory and tax structure, share the same marketing techniques, are directed by a centralized management structure and have similar economic characteristics. The Company also aggregates its Native American management arrangements into one reportable segment.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Red Rock” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview

Red Rock was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates six major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. In June 2022, we decided to permanently close our Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson and Fiesta Rancho properties, which have been closed since March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The facilities at these properties are expected to be demolished to reposition the land for sale. We are currently constructing a new casino resort on our approximately 50-acre development site at the intersection of Durango Drive and Interstate 215 in the southwest Las Vegas valley, which is expected to open in the next 15 to 21 months. Through February 5, 2021, a subsidiary of Station LLC also managed Graton Resort in northern California on behalf of a Native American tribe.

We own all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and have an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through our ownership of limited liability company interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At June 30, 2022, we held 57% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and we are designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. We control and operate all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conduct all of our operations through these entities. Our only material assets are our ownership interests in Station LLC and Station Holdco, other than tax-related assets and liabilities.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidation of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, and Station Holdco. The financial position and results of operations attributable to LLC Units we do not own are reported separately as noncontrolling interest.

Our principal source of revenue and operating income is gaming, and our non-gaming offerings include restaurants, hotels and other entertainment amenities. Approximately 80% to 85% of our casino revenue is generated from slot play. The majority of our revenue is cash-based and as a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flows from operations. Because our business is capital intensive, we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing and fund capital expenditures.

A significant portion of our business is dependent upon customers who live and/or work in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. In June 2022, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metropolitan area increased slightly to 5.7% from 5.0% in March 2022, but remains down from a high of 34% in April 2020. Statewide, the unemployment rate declined to 4.7% in June 2022, as compared to 30% in April 2020. In June 2022, the median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas according to the Las Vegas Realtors® was $480,000, up 21.5% as compared to June 2021. This continues a trend of significant year over year improvements in Las Vegas home values since 2012. We cannot predict whether the recovery in unemployment and the positive trends in housing prices in the Las Vegas area will continue, especially in light of uncertainty in the economic outlook stemming from rising inflation, higher interest rates and increased energy costs.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its related variants have had, and may continue to have, a detrimental impact on the United States and Las Vegas economies. We have taken steps to mitigate these and potential future effects of COVID-19 and its related variants on our results of operations through a combination of streamlining our business, optimizing our marketing initiatives, and reducing expenses.

Subsequent to the reopening of most of our properties in June 2020, we have seen favorable customer trends that continued in the second quarter of 2022, including strong and consistent visitation from our guests, including a younger demographic, strong spend per visit and a return of our core customers. These positive trends, in combination with business optimization and cost reduction measures implemented in the second quarter of 2020, continue to drive strong operating results in 2022. However, we cannot predict whether these trends will continue, nor can we predict the extent to which the impacts of

the COVID-19 pandemic and its related variants on the United States and Las Vegas economies may affect our business in the future.

Information about our results of operations is included herein and in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Performance Indicators

We use certain key indicators to measure our performance.

Gaming revenue measures:

•Slot handle, table game drop and race and sports write are measures of volume. Slot handle represents the dollar amount wagered in slot machines, and table game drop represents the total amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in table game drop boxes.

•Win represents the amount of wagers retained by us.

•Hold represents win as a percentage of slot handle or table game drop.

As our customers are primarily Las Vegas residents, our hold percentages are generally consistent from period to period. Fluctuations in our casino revenue are primarily due to the volume and spending levels of customers at our properties.

Food and beverage revenue measures:

•Average guest check is a measure of food sales volume and product offerings at our restaurants, and represents the average amount spent per customer visit.

•Number of guests served is an indicator of volume.

Room revenue measures:

•Occupancy is calculated by dividing occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by rooms available.

•Average daily rate (“ADR”) is calculated by dividing room revenue, which includes the retail value of complimentary rooms, by rooms occupied, including complimentary rooms.

•Revenue per available room is calculated by dividing room revenue by rooms available.

n/m = Not meaningful

We view each of our Las Vegas casino properties as an individual operating segment. We aggregate all of our Las Vegas operating segments into one reportable segment because all of our Las Vegas properties offer similar products, cater to the same customer base, have the same regulatory and tax structure, share the same marketing programs, are directed by a centralized management structure and have similar economic characteristics. We also aggregate our Native American management arrangements into one reportable segment. The results of operations for our Native American management segment are discussed in the section entitled “Management Fee Revenue” below and the results of our Las Vegas operations are discussed in the remaining sections below.

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $422.2 million, down 1.4% as compared to $428.2 million for the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net revenues were $823.9 million, an increase of 5.5% compared to $780.8 million for the prior year period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we continued to deliver strong year-over-year revenue growth across our non-gaming offerings at our properties. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our food and beverage, room and other revenue increased by 13.7%, 13.1% and 18.7%, respectively, as compared to the same quarter in 2021, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, we achieved year over year growth of 24.8%, 32.7% and 20.8% for food and beverage, room and other revenues, respectively. Our casino revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $280.6 million and $560.4 million, respectively, as compared to $304.2 million and $564.2 million, respectively, for the prior year periods. Our casino revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were the highest in our history and were the result of multiple factors, including the lifting of all state-mandated COVID-19 restrictions on June 1, 2021, additional government stimulus payments, and the return of consumer demand amid the continued rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination program. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included management fees from Graton Resort, which we ceased to manage on February 5, 2021.

Operating Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our operating income was $68.2 million and $199.0 million, respectively. Our operating income for the current year periods was negatively impacted by asset impairment charges totaling $79.0 million recognized in June 2022 when we decided to permanently close and demolish our Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho and Fiesta Henderson properties, which have remained closed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Our core operations continue to deliver strong results with margins exceeding our pre-pandemic levels.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our operating income was $168.5 million and $97.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating income was negatively impacted by a $167.8 million asset impairment charge related to Palms Casino Resort (“Palms”), which was sold in December 2021. Additional information about factors impacting our operating income is discussed below.

Casino. As described at Net Revenues above, our casino revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 7.7% and 0.7%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, slot handle decreased by 5.7%, table games drop decreased by 2.2% and race and sports write increased by 7.3%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, slot handle increased by 0.1%, table games drop increased by 6.6% and race and sports write increased by 20.1%. Casino expense decreased by 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, casino expense increased by 3.8% as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher employee-related costs.

Food and Beverage. Food and beverage includes revenue and expenses from our restaurants, bars and catering. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, food and beverage revenue increased by 13.7% and 24.8%, respectively, and food and beverage expense increased by 18.3% and 23.5%, respectively. The increases in food and beverage revenue were primarily due to an increase in catering and group business as well as higher food revenue at our restaurants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the number of restaurant guests served decreased by 10.4% and 2.4%, respectively, while the average guest check increased by 21.7% and 23.0%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increase in food and beverage expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher employee-related costs associated with catering and group business, as well as higher costs of sales.

Room. Information about our hotel operations is presented below:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Occupancy	85.3		%	82.0		%	81.2		%	71.1		%
Average daily rate	$	183.77		$	151.94		$	176.32		$	137.32
Revenue per available room	$	156.72		$	124.55		$	143.10		$	97.65

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, room revenue increased by $5.1 million and $20.0 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods, as domestic travel and demand continued to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our ADR increased by 20.9% and 28.4%, respectively, our revenue per available room improved by 25.8% and 46.5%, respectively, and our occupancy rate increased by 3.3 and 10.1 percentage points, respectively, all as compared to the prior year periods. Room expense decreased by $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and room expense was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2022, both as compared to the prior year periods.

Other. Other primarily represents revenues from tenant leases, retail outlets, bowling, spa, and entertainment, and their corresponding expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, other revenues increased by 18.7% and 20.8%, respectively, primarily driven by spa, bowling and entertainment. Other expenses increased by 46.9% and 33.8%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to higher employee-related costs.

Management Fee Revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, management fees represented fees earned from the management of our joint ventures. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 management fees primarily represented fees earned from our agreement with a Native American tribe to manage Graton Resort, which we ceased to manage on February 5, 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, SG&A expenses increased by 7.3% or $6.1 million and 8.3% or $13.5 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher legal and employee-related costs. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses increased by 1.8% and 0.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.

Depreciation and Amortization. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 8.5% and 26.4%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in depreciation expense was due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, depreciation expense decreased as compared to the prior year period due to the inclusion of depreciation expense for Palms in the first quarter of 2021 prior to the property’s reclassification to assets held for sale.

Write-downs and Other, net. Write-downs and other, net include gains and losses on asset disposals, severance, preopening, business innovation and technology enhancements, contract termination costs and non-routine items. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, write-downs and other, net totaled $2.0 million and $12.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, write-downs and other, net included $6.7 million in artist performance agreement termination costs associated with Palms. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, write-downs and other, net totaled $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Asset Impairment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded asset impairment charges totaling $79.0 million to write off the carrying amounts of the facilities and certain related assets at our Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho and Fiesta Henderson properties, which we decided to permanently close and demolish in June 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an asset impairment charge of $167.8 million to reduce the carrying amount of Palms to its estimated fair value less cost to sell as a result of entering into a purchase agreement to sell the property at a price less than its carrying amount. The sale was completed in December 2021.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net increased to $28.7 million and $55.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to $25.6 million and $52.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher variable interest rates applicable to our credit facility for the current year periods. We expect interest rates may continue to increase in response to macroeconomic conditions. Additional information about long-term debt is included in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a loss of $8.1 million as a result of the partial redemption of the 5.00% Senior Notes. The remaining principal amount of these notes was redeemed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Provision for Income Tax. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a provision for income tax of $8.1 million and $20.8 million, respectively. Station Holdco is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes and Station Holdco’s members are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their share of Station Holdco’s taxable income. We are not liable for income tax on the noncontrolling interests’ share of Station Holdco’s taxable income or benefit from a taxable loss, and therefore our effective tax rates of 19.9% and 14.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, were less than the statutory rate. We recognized income tax expense of $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 represented the portion of net income attributable to the ownership interest in Station Holdco not held by us.

The year-over-year changes in Adjusted EBITDA were due to the factors described within Results of Operations above.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely used measure of operating performance in our industry and is a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. We believe that in addition to net income, Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our operating performance because it provides information about the performance of our ongoing core operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes net income plus depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, write-downs and other, net (including gains and losses on asset disposals, severance, preopening, business innovation and technology enhancements, contract termination costs and non-routine items), asset impairment, losses from assets held for sale, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for income tax and other.

To evaluate Adjusted EBITDA and the trends it depicts, the components should be considered. Each of these components can significantly affect our results of operations and should be considered in evaluating our operating performance, and the impact of these components cannot be determined from Adjusted EBITDA. Further, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. It should be noted that not all gaming companies that report EBITDA or adjustments to this measure may calculate EBITDA or

Table of Contents

such adjustments in the same manner as we do, and therefore, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other gaming companies.

Holding Company Financial Information

The indentures governing the 4.50% Senior Notes and the 4.625% Senior Notes contain certain covenants that require Station LLC to furnish to the holders of the notes certain annual and quarterly financial information relating to Station LLC and its subsidiaries. The obligation to furnish such information may be satisfied by providing consolidated financial information of the Company along with additional disclosure explaining the differences between such information and the financial information of Station LLC and its subsidiaries on a standalone basis. The following financial information about the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, exclusive of Station LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Holding Company”), is furnished to explain the differences between the financial information of the Holding Company and the financial information of Station LLC and its subsidiaries for the periods presented in this report. The primary differences between the financial information of the Holding Company and that of Station LLC relate to income taxes of the Holding Company and the liability relating to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”).

At June 30, 2022, the difference between the balance sheet for Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and the balance sheet for the Holding Company is that the Holding Company had cash of $2.6 million, prepaid income tax of $8.3 million and $88.4 million of deferred tax assets, net, all of which are solely assets of the Holding Company, and liabilities that are solely the Holding Company’s, consisting of a $27.2 million liability under the TRA, of which $6.7 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months, and $2.8 million of other liabilities. At December 31, 2021, the Holding Company had cash of $3.3 million, $98.6 million of deferred tax assets, net, a $27.2 million noncurrent liability under the TRA and $2.1 million of other net current liabilities.

The Holding Company recognized net losses of $8.1 million and $20.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, representing provision for income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following liquidity and capital resources discussion contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations, dispositions, acquisitions, investments and subsidiaries, which involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified, and consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks described in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

At June 30, 2022, we had $256.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Station LLC maintains its borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the credit facility. At June 30, 2022, Station LLC’s borrowing availability was $1.0 billion, which was net of $29.4 million in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations.

Our primary capital requirements for the near term are expected to be related to the operation and maintenance of our properties, debt service payments and construction costs for Durango. Our anticipated uses of cash for the remainder of 2022 include (i) approximately $275.0 million to $400.0 million for capital expenditures, including the development of Durango, (ii) required principal and interest payments on Station LLC’s indebtedness totaling $13.0 million and $61.8 million, respectively, (iii) dividends to our Class A common stockholders, including approximately $14.6 million to be paid in September 2022, and (iv) distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco, including “tax distributions” that may be made quarterly when required and in amounts that may vary from quarter to quarter. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2022, we paid $172.4 million to purchase approximately 126 acres of development land in Las Vegas. Other payment obligations include salaries, wages and employee benefits, service contracts, property taxes, insurance and other obligations.

As of September 2021, our board of directors approved an equity repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $300 million of our Class A common stock through December 31, 2022. This authorization was increased to $600 million in August 2022. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under the program. Subject to applicable laws and the provisions of any agreements restricting our ability to do so, repurchases may be made at our discretion from time to time through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or tender offers, depending on market conditions and other factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 3,222,402 shares of our Class A common stock in open market transactions at a weighted-average price of $38.02 per share. After giving effect to the increased authorization, we have $331.9 million of remaining repurchases authorized under the program. From time to time, we may also seek to repurchase our

Table of Contents

outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases may be funded by existing cash balances or the incurrence of debt, including borrowings under our credit facility. The amount and timing of any repurchases will be based on business and market conditions, capital availability, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

We expect that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings available under the credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements and service our outstanding indebtedness for the next twelve months. We regularly assess our projected capital requirements for capital expenditures, repayment of debt obligations, and payment of other general corporate and operational needs. In the long term, we expect that we will fund our capital requirements with a combination of cash generated from operations, borrowings under the credit facility and the issuance of debt or equity as market conditions may permit. However, our cash flow and ability to obtain debt or equity financing on terms that are satisfactory to us, or at all, may be affected by a variety of factors, including competition, general economic and business conditions and financial markets. As a result, we cannot provide any assurance that we will generate sufficient income and liquidity to meet all of our liquidity requirements or other obligations.

Following is a summary of our cash flow information (amounts in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	277,660	$	312,583
Investing activities	(104,614)		(35,601)
Financing activities	(224,033)		(306,901)

Cash Flows from Operations

Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income or loss generated by our properties (excluding depreciation and other non-cash charges), interest paid and changes in working capital accounts such as inventories, prepaid expenses, receivables and payables. The majority of our revenue is generated from our slot machine and table game play, which is conducted primarily on a cash basis. Our food and beverage, room and other revenues are also primarily cash-based. As a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flow from operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $277.7 million as compared to $312.6 million for the prior year period. Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included $50.9 million in interest payments and $17.8 million cash paid for income taxes, as compared to $51.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the prior year period. Information about our operating activities is presented within Results of Operations above.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash paid for capital expenditures totaled $101.4 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the current year included amounts related to the Durango project.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we paid $30.3 million in dividends to Class A common stockholders and $54.9 million in cash distributions to the noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco. We also paid $122.5 million to repurchase 3.2 million shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to our equity repurchase program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we redeemed $250.0 million in outstanding principal amount of Station LLC’s 5.00% Senior Notes and paid a redemption premium of $6.3 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid $37.8 million to repurchase 1.1 million shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to our equity repurchase program and we paid cash tax distributions of $31.4 million to noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco.

Restrictive Covenants

The agreements governing our credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, obtain additional debt or equity financing due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements. In addition, our credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio

Table of Contents

and adherence to a maximum total leverage ratio. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes made to the covenants included in the credit facility or the indentures governing the senior notes as described in Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We believe that as of June 30, 2022, Station LLC was in compliance with the covenants contained in the credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes.

As a result of these covenants and restrictions, we are limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to provide liquidity if changes in the economy, discretionary spending, consumer confidence or other external factors negatively affect our business. In addition, such covenants and restrictions may limit our ability to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. Further, our ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and industry conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Failure to satisfy the covenants contained in the credit agreements, indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness would require us to seek waivers or amendments of such covenants. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain required waivers or amendments, as such matters depend, in part, on factors outside of our control. If we fail to satisfy our covenants and are unable to obtain such waivers or amendments, our creditors could exercise remedies under the applicable documents governing such indebtedness, including acceleration of such indebtedness.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2022, we had no variable interests in unconsolidated entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development arrangements with us, nor did we have retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations totaling $29.4 million.

Inflation

Our business is experiencing the impact of increased inflationary pressure. Commodity prices have increased and become more volatile, and we are experiencing price inflation in ordinary goods and services such as food costs, supplies, energy costs and construction costs. In addition, we have been impacted by a shortage of qualified workers which places additional upward pressure on wages and benefit costs as we seek to attract and retain qualified workers. We attempt to minimize the impact of inflation on our business by implementing cost controls and adjusting prices.

Native American Development

We have development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians, a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, pursuant to which we will assist the tribe in developing, financing and operating a gaming and entertainment facility to be located on Highway 99 north of the city of Madera, California. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about this project.

Regulation and Taxes

We are subject to extensive regulation by Nevada gaming authorities as well as the National Indian Gaming Commission and the California Gambling Control Commission. In addition, we will be subject to regulation, which may or may not be similar to that in Nevada, by any other jurisdiction in which we may conduct gaming activities in the future.

The gaming industry represents a significant source of tax revenue, particularly to the State of Nevada and its counties and municipalities. From time to time, various state and federal legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax law, or in the administration of such law, affecting the gaming industry. The Nevada legislature meets every two years for 120 days and when special sessions are called by the Governor. The most recent special legislative session ended on November 16, 2021. There are currently no specific legislative proposals to increase taxes on gaming revenue, but there are no assurances that an increase in taxes on gaming or other revenue will not be proposed and passed by the Nevada legislature in the future.

In January 2020, the Clark County Education Association (“CCEA”) filed a ballot initiative to increase the Nevada gaming tax by three percentage points, from 6.75 percent to 9.75 percent. CCEA subsequently withdrew the petition and no longer supports it; however, the Nevada Secretary of State has taken the position that a petition cannot be withdrawn from the ballot following signature qualification. CCEA initiated a legal challenge against the Secretary of State to compel the withdrawal of the initiative. CCEA prevailed at the district court level and at the Nevada Supreme Court. Accordingly, the initiative has been effectively withdrawn and will not appear on the ballot in the November 8, 2022, general election.

A description of our indebtedness is included in Note 7 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no material changes to the terms of our indebtedness during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A description of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Forward-looking Statements

The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in the closure of all of our casino properties and all other casino properties located in Nevada from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020. We reopened the majority of our properties on June 4, 2020, but certain of our properties will remain closed permanently. Although restrictions on operations to implement social distancing and other health and safety protocols were progressively lifted through June 1, 2021, and a rule added in late July 2021 requiring all employees and guests to wear face coverings while indoors in public spaces was lifted on February 10, 2022, there is no guarantee that additional measures will not be re-implemented in the future. The outbreak of COVID-19 and measures to reduce its spread have caused, and may continue to cause, widespread unemployment and significant disruptions in the United States economy generally and the Las Vegas economy in particular, which could adversely impact our business.

When used in this report and elsewhere by management from time to time, the words “may,” “might,” “could,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and our business including our expansions, development and acquisition projects, legal proceedings and employee matters. Certain important factors, including but not limited to, financial market risks, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Potential factors which could affect our financial condition, results of operations and business include, without limitation, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, higher interest rates and increased energy costs on consumer demand and our business, financial results and liquidity; the impact of our substantial indebtedness; the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on consumer spending and the economy in general, and on the gaming and hotel industries in particular; the effects of competition, including locations of competitors and operating and market competition; changes in laws, including increased tax rates, regulations or accounting standards, third-party relations and approvals, and decisions of courts, regulators and governmental bodies; risks associated with construction projects, including disruption of our operations, shortages of materials or labor, unexpected costs, unforeseen permitting or regulatory issues and weather; litigation outcomes and judicial actions, including gaming legislative action, referenda and taxation; acts of war or terrorist incidents, natural disasters or civil unrest; risks associated with the collection and retention of data about our customers, employees, suppliers and business partners; and other risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt. There have been no material changes in our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2022. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, and are

Table of Contents

designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits relating to routine matters incidental to their business. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such matters and litigation inherently involves significant risks.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
