Note 1 - Organization

Organization

Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Wynn Resorts" or the "Company") is a designer, developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts. In the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Macau"), the Company owns approximately 72% of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), which includes the operations of the Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau resorts. The Company refers to Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau as its Macau Operations. In Las Vegas, Nevada, the Company operates and, with the exception of certain retail space, owns 100% of Wynn Las Vegas. Additionally, the Company is a 50.1% owner and managing member of a joint venture that owns and leases certain retail space at Wynn Las Vegas (the "Retail Joint Venture"). The Company refers to Wynn Las Vegas and the Retail Joint Venture as its Las Vegas Operations. On June 23, 2019, the Company opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts.

On September 20, 2019, and concurrently with the Refinancing Transactions (as defined and discussed in Note 6, "Long-Term Debt"), Wynn Resorts contributed all of its equity interests in Wynn Group Asia, Inc. ("Wynn Asia") to Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC, which was formerly known as Wynn America, LLC ("WRF"), making Wynn Asia a wholly owned subsidiary of WRF. WRF is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts. Wynn Asia is a holding company that holds Wynn Resorts' approximately 72% controlling interest in WML.

Development Projects

The Company is currently constructing an approximately 430,000 square foot meeting and convention facility at Wynn Las Vegas. The facility will feature approximately 217,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and convention space available for group reservations. The Company expects to open the additional meeting and convention facility in the first quarter of 2020. The Company opened the newly reconfigured Wynn Las Vegas golf course on October 11, 2019.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

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 ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and entities the Company identifies as variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For information on the Company's VIEs, see Note 15 "Retail Joint Venture." All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Leases

Lessee Arrangements

The Company is the lessee under non-cancelable real estate and equipment leases. Beginning on January 1, 2019 (the date of the Company's adoption of Topic 842, as defined and discussed further in "Recently Adopted Accounting Standards"), operating lease assets and liabilities are measured and recorded upon lease commencement at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. The Company combines lease and nonlease components in its determination of minimum lease payments, except for certain asset classes that have significant nonlease components. As the interest rate implicit in its leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company does not record an asset or liability for operating leases with a term of less than one year. Variable lease costs generally arise from changes in an index, such as the consumer price index. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and are not included in the determination of lease assets or liabilities. Prior to the adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company did not record an asset or liability for any of its operating leases.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company is the lessor under non-cancelable operating leases for retail and food and beverage outlet space at its integrated resorts, which represents approximately 101,000, 59,000, 142,000, and 36,000 square feet of space at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The lease arrangements generally include minimum base rent and contingent rental clauses based on a percentage of net sales. Generally, the terms of the leases range between five and 10 years. The Company records revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and recognizes revenue for contingent rentals when the contingency has been resolved. The Company has elected to combine lease and nonlease components for the purpose of measuring lease revenue. Revenue is recorded in entertainment, retail and other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Gaming Taxes

The Company is subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which it operates, subject to applicable jurisdictional adjustments. These gaming taxes are recorded as casino expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These taxes totaled $543.9 million and $638.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and $1.69 billion and $1.81 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Pre-opening expenses

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel, advertising, and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures and are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred pre-opening expenses primarily in connection with the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"), which requires recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of additional information about leasing activities. The Company adopted this standard using a modified retrospective transition approach with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. As a result, prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and are not comparable to current periods. The Company elected the practical expedient permitting lessees to carry forward historical lease classifications for existing arrangements. The following is a summary of the significant impacts on the Company's balance sheet as of January 1, 2019:


•	The Company recognized operating lease assets and liabilities of $154.1 million, which represented the discounted future minimum lease payments of all existing leases on the initial application date.


•	The net carrying amount of a definite-lived intangible asset, which related to a leasehold interest in land and totaled $88.1 million, was reclassified to operating lease assets.


•	Leasehold interests in land, net, which totaled $206.9 million, were reclassified to operating lease assets from property and equipment, net.

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(unaudited)


•	Certain other initial direct cost assets, prepaid lease assets, and deferred rent accrued liabilities were reclassified to operating lease assets.

As the Company elected to carry forward historical lease classifications, an arrangement concluded to contain a capital lease under the previous standard was deemed a finance lease under Topic 842, with no resultant change in accounting other than the reclassification of associated initial direct costs from other assets to property and equipment, net. There was no impact on the Company's operating income, net income or cash flows as a result of adopting Topic 842.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in 2016. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not expect that it will have a material impact.

Refinancing Transactions

On September 20, 2019, WRF and its subsidiary Wynn Resorts Capital Corp. (collectively with WRF, the "WRF Issuers"), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5 1/8% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "2029 Indenture") among the WRF Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in a private offering. The 2029 Notes were issued at par.

Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, WRF entered into a credit agreement (the "WRF Credit Agreement") providing for a new first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the "WRF Term Loan") and a new first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million (the "WRF Revolver" and together with the WRF Term Loan, the "WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities") (the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 2029 Notes are collectively referred to as the "Refinancing Transactions").

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

(unaudited)

WRF used the net proceeds from the Refinancing Transactions to refinance the existing Wynn America credit facilities and the Wynn Resorts term loan and to pay related fees and expenses totaling $18.8 million, of which $14.8 million was recorded as debt issuance costs within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognized the Refinancing Transactions primarily as a modification of existing debt with the related unamortized debt issuance costs reallocated to the new debt instruments. For those components of debt that were deemed extinguished, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $12.2 million.

WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Subject to certain exceptions, the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum. The annual fee required to pay for unborrowed amounts under the WRF Revolver, if any, is 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, calculated based on the daily average of the unborrowed amounts under such credit facilities. The Company is required to make quarterly repayments on the WRF Term Loan of $12.5 million beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, with any remaining principal amount outstanding repayable in full on September 20, 2024.

The WRF Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and negative and affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries, to incur and/or repay indebtedness, to make certain restricted payments, and to enter into mergers and acquisitions, negative pledges, liens, transactions with affiliates, and sales of assets. In addition, Wynn Resorts Finance is subject to financial covenants, including maintaining a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement. Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2019, the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.

The WRF Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of WRF's existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), subject to certain exceptions, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of WRF's and each of the guarantors' existing and future property and assets, subject to certain exceptions, including a limitation on the amount of collateral granted by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("WLV") and its subsidiaries so as to not violate the indenture governing WLV's outstanding senior notes.

2029 Notes

The 2029 Notes will mature on October 1, 2029 and bear interest at the rate of 5 1/8% per annum, payable in arrears semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020. The WRF Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium, as defined in the 2029 Indenture, and accrued and unpaid interest. On or after July 1, 2029, the WRF Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the 2029 Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of a change of control triggering event, the WRF Issuers will be required to offer to repurchase the 2029 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. The 2029 Notes are also subject to disposition and redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations of applicable gaming regulatory authorities.

The 2029 Notes are the WRF Issuers' senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with the WLV senior notes due 2023, 2025, and 2027, and rank equally in right of payment with Wynn Las Vegas' guarantee of the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuers' existing and future subordinated debt. The 2029 Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the WRF Issuers' existing and future secured debt (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt), and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of the WRF Issuers' subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2029 Notes, including WML and its subsidiaries.

The 2029 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of WRF's existing domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and each of its subsidiaries that guarantees its existing senior notes due 2023, 2025, and 2027. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantors and rank senior in right of payment to all of their future subordinated debt. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities of the Guarantors that are not so subordinated and will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of such Guarantors' existing and future secured debt (to the extent of the collateral securing such debt).

The 2029 Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the WRF Issuers and the guarantors to, among other things, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, create or incur liens to secure debt, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the WRF Issuers' assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 2029 Indenture.

The 2029 Indenture also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain covenants, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, and failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the 2029 Indenture allows either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes, as applicable, issued under such 2029 Indenture to accelerate the amounts due under the 2029 Notes, or in the case of bankruptcy or insolvency, will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 2029 Notes.

The 2029 Notes were offered pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The 2029 Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States to certain persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2029 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. Therefore, the 2029 Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, any United States person unless the offer or sale would qualify for a registration exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

On September 20, 2019, the Wynn America credit facilities were repaid in full in connection with the Refinancing Transactions and the Wynn America credit agreement was terminated.

Wynn Resorts Term Loan

On October 30, 2018, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement (as subsequently amended, the "WRL Credit Agreement") to provide for a $500.0 million six year term loan facility (the "WRL Term Loan I"). On March 8, 2019, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, and certain incremental term facility lenders entered into an incremental joinder agreement that amended the WRL Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide the Company with an additional $250.0 million term loan (the "WRL Term Loan II," and, collectively with the WRL Term Loan I, the "Wynn Resorts Term Loan"), on substantially similar terms as the WRL Term Loan I. On September 20, 2019, the Wynn Resorts Term Loan was prepaid in full in connection with the Refinancing Transactions and the WRL Credit Agreement was terminated.

Commitment Letter

On March 8, 2019, in connection with the WRL Term Loan II, the Company agreed to terminate the remaining $250.0 million of the lenders' commitments under the commitment letter. Accordingly, there are no remaining commitments under the commitment letter.

Redemption Price Promissory Note

On February 18, 2012, pursuant to its articles of incorporation, the Company redeemed and canceled all Aruze USA, Inc.'s ("Aruze") 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock. In connection with the redemption of the shares, the Company issued a promissory note (the "Redemption Note") with a principal amount of $1.94 billion, a maturity date of February 18, 2022 and an interest rate of 2% per annum, payable annually in arrears on each anniversary of the date of the Redemption Note. The Redemption Note was recorded at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The Company repaid the principal amount in full on March 30, 2018. On March 30, 2018, the Company also paid an additional $463.6 million in settlement of certain legal claims concerning the Redemption Note, which is recorded as a litigation settlement expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain members of the Company's executive management team receive a portion of their annual incentive bonus in shares of the Company's stock. The number of shares is determined based on the closing stock price on the date the annual incentive bonus is settled. As the number of shares is variable, the Company records a liability for the fixed monetary amount over the service period. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards of $2.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $6.3 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 11 - Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $19.7 million and an income tax benefit of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $19.4 million and an income tax benefit of $124.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and the 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to the settlement of the Redemption Note.

The Company records valuation allowances on certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. In the assessment of the valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence including recent operating profitability, forecast of future earnings and the duration of statutory carryforward periods.

Wynn Macau SA received a five year exemption from Macau's 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits through December 31, 2020. Accordingly, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company was exempt from the payment of such taxes totaling $13.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company was exempt from the payment of such taxes totaling $56.0 million and $73.7 million, respectively. The Company's non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau special gaming tax and other levies in accordance with its concession agreement.

Note 12 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock.

The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS consisted of the following (in thousands, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,

Ground Leases

Undeveloped Land - Las Vegas

The Company leases approximately 16 acres of undeveloped land on Las Vegas Boulevard directly across from Wynn Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, which expires in 2097.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In addition to the actions noted below, the Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Massachusetts Gaming License Related Actions

On September 17, 2014, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission ("MGC") designated Wynn MA, LLC ("Wynn MA") the award winner of the Greater Boston (Region A) gaming license (the "Boston area license"). On November 7, 2014, the gaming license became effective.

Massachusetts Gaming Commission Investigation and Adjudicatory Hearing

On January 31, 2018, the Investigations & Enforcement Bureau ("IEB") of the MGC announced it had commenced an investigation into the Company's ongoing suitability as a gaming licensee in that jurisdiction related to the alleged inappropriate workplace conduct by the Company’s former CEO Stephen A. Wynn. The Company fully cooperated with the IEB's investigation. After a three-day adjudicatory hearing before the MGC, the MGC concluded that the Company and Wynn MA are suitable to maintain a Massachusetts gaming license, subject to a fine of $35.0 million, which the Company paid during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and the Company's fulfillment of other conditions set forth in the MGC decision.

Revere Action

On October 16, 2014, the City of Revere, the host community to the unsuccessful bidder for the Boston area license, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103 ("IBEW"), and several individuals, filed a complaint against the MGC and its gaming commissioners in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Massachusetts (the "Revere Action"). Mohegan Sun ("Mohegan") the other applicant for the Boston area license, joined the lawsuit and challenged the MGC's award of the Boston area license. On December 3, 2015, the court granted the MGC's motion to dismiss the claims asserted in the Revere Action and the court dismissed all claims except Mohegan's claim alleging procedural error by the MGC in granting the license to Wynn MA. The plaintiffs appealed. After multiple appeals and cross appeals, only two claims remained: (1) individual plaintiffs' claim for violation of the open meeting laws; and (2) Mohegan's claim for procedural error. On July 12, 2019, the Suffolk Superior Court granted the MGC's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the open meeting law claim, leaving only Mohegan's procedural claim.

On August 2, 2019, Mohegan filed a motion to file a second amended complaint, to add new claims related to the MGC's allegedly inadequate 2013 investigation, using information, documents and testimony from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission Investigation and Adjudicatory Hearing. On October 15, 2019, the court granted Mohegan's motion to amend and allowed it to file a second amended intervenor's complaint.

Wynn MA was not named in the Revere Action. The MGC retained private legal representation at its own nontaxpayer-funded expense.

Suffolk Action

On September 17, 2018, Sterling Suffolk Racecourse, LLC, owner of the property proposed for location of a casino by an unsuccessful bidder for the Boston area license filed a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, against the Company, Wynn MA, certain current and former officers of the Company, FBT Everett Realty, LLC, former owner of the land on which Encore Boston Harbor is located ("FBT"), and Paul Lohnes, a member of FBT. The complaint alleges, among other things, the defendants violated the RICO Act, conspired to circumvent the application process for the Boston area license and violated Massachusetts law with respect to unfair methods of competition. The plaintiff seeks $1.0 billion in compensatory damages and treble damages. All defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. On May 7, 2019, the court held a hearing on the motions to dismiss and stayed all discovery pending a decision on the motions.

The Company will vigorously defend against the claims asserted. This action is in preliminary stages and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this action or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

Nevada Gaming Control Board Investigation

On January 25, 2019, the Nevada Gaming Control Board filed a complaint against the Company and its indirect subsidiary, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("NGCB Respondents"), related to the alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace. Simultaneously, the NGCB Respondents entered into a Stipulation for Settlement of the complaint, under which, among other things, the NGCB Respondents agreed to pay a fine in an amount to be determined by the Nevada Gaming Commission, and the Nevada Gaming Control Board agreed not to seek to revoke or limit the NGCB Respondents' licenses, findings of suitability or any other gaming approvals. On February 26, 2019, the Nevada Gaming Commission approved the Stipulation for Settlement and fined the Company $20.0 million, which was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Derivative Litigation

A number of stockholder derivative actions have been filed in state and federal court located in Clark County, Nevada against certain current and former members of the Company's Board of Directors and, in some cases, the Company's current and former officers. Each of the complaints alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties in failing to detect, prevent and remedy alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace. On September 19, 2018, the Board established a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC") to investigate the allegations in the State Derivative Case (as defined below).

The actions filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada have been consolidated as In re Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Derivative Litigation ("State Derivative Case"). On October 26, 2018, the SLC filed a motion to intervene and stay the State Derivative Case pending completion of its investigation, which the court granted (the "SLC Stay"). A status hearing considering a number of matters related to the State Derivative Case is scheduled for November 13, 2019.

In 2018, several actions filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada were consolidated as In re Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Derivative Litigation ("Federal Derivative Case"), which also claim corporate waste and violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. In June 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay pending resolution of the Securities Action (described below). On March 29, 2019, the Court granted the Company's request for a stay.

On March 25, 2019, a separate stockholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada alleging identical causes of action as the Federal Derivative Case with the additional allegation that the Board of Directors improperly refused the stockholder's demand to commence litigation against the officers and directors of the Company. On June 10, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, or alternatively to consolidate this action into the Federal Derivative Case, which is stayed. The motion is currently pending before the court.

On June 3, 2019, a separate stockholder derivative action was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada alleging substantially similar causes of action as the State Derivative Case with the additional allegation that various of the Company's attorneys committed professional malpractice, and certain current and former executives also breached fiduciary duties and aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties, in connection with the alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace. On July 26, 2019, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed Matt Maddox, Stephen A. Wynn, Kimmarie Sinatra, John J. Hagenbuch, Ray R. Irani, Jay L. Johnson, Robert J. Miller, Patricia Mulroy, Clark T. Randt, Jr., Alvin V. Shoemaker, J. Edward Virtue, D. Boone Wayson, and one of the Company's law firms from the action. On September 19, 2019, the court entered an order consolidating this action into the State Derivative Case, the effect of which the Company is seeking clarification.

(unaudited)

Each of the actions seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including restitution and disgorgement of profits, and also seeks to recover attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff.

Individual Stockholder Actions

A number of stockholders have filed individual actions in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada against certain current and former members of the Company's Board of Directors and certain of the Company's current and former officers ("Individual Stockholder Actions"). Each of the complaints alleges that defendants, among other things, breached their fiduciary duties in failing to detect, prevent and remedy alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace causing injury to each of the individual stockholders.

On January 29, 2019, the defendants filed motions to dismiss each of the Individual Stockholder Actions. The court held a hearing on defendants' motions to dismiss on September 18, 2019, and took the matter under advisement.

Securities Action

On February 20, 2018, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers of the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (which was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court, District of Nevada) by John V. Ferris and Joann M. Ferris on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between February 28, 2014 and January 25, 2018. The complaint alleges, among other things, certain violations of federal securities laws and seeks to recover unspecified damages as well as attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. The defendants have filed motions to dismiss, which are currently pending before the court.

The defendants in these actions will vigorously defend against the claims pleaded against them. These actions are in preliminary stages and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these actions or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

Aruze and Affiliates Litigation

On February 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts determined that Universal Entertainment Corp., Aruze (together with Universal Entertainment Corp, the "Universal Parties") and Kazuo Okada, and the related parties (collectively, the "Okada Parties") were "unsuitable persons" under the Company's articles and redeemed and canceled Aruze's 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock, and, pursuant to its articles of incorporation, Wynn Resorts issued the Redemption Note to Aruze in redemption of the shares. The next day, Wynn Resorts filed an action alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims (the "Redemption Action"). The Okada Parties denied the claims and asserted counterclaims.

On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") by and between the Company and its individual directors and officers (the "Wynn Parties"), and the Universal Parties. The Settlement Agreement resolved all legal proceedings pending between the settling parties in the Redemption Action. The Universal Parties further released any claims against the Wynn Parties and their affiliates in any other jurisdiction, including a proceeding pending in Macau against Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA") and certain related individuals ("Macau Litigation"). Subsequently the Company voluntarily dismissed its claim for breach of fiduciary duty against Kazuo Okada.

In 2015, the Okada Parties filed a complaint in the Court of First Instance of Macau ("Macau Court") against Wynn Macau SA and certain individuals who are or were directors of Wynn Macau SA or WML (collectively, the "Wynn Macau Parties"). On July 11, 2017, the Macau Court dismissed all of the Okada Parties' claims as unfounded, fined the Okada Parties, and ordered the Okada Parties to pay for court costs and the Wynn Macau Parties' attorney's fees. On or about October 16, 2017, the Okada Parties formally appealed in Macau. On February 21, 2019, the Macau Appellate Panel dismissed the appeal. Mr. Okada, who was at that time the only remaining claimant after the Universal Parties' withdrawal pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, failed to appeal within the prescribed time, resulting in the final resolution of the lawsuit in favor of the Wynn Macau Parties.

Derivative Litigation Related to Redemption Action

Two state derivative actions were commenced against the Company and all members of its Board of Directors in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada by the IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund and Danny Hinson (collectively, the "Derivative Plaintiffs") regarding the Redemption Action. On March 15, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation and order to dismiss

the action, with prejudice, which the court entered on March 18, 2019. Neither the Company nor any of the individual defendants made any form of payment in exchange for the dismissal of the action.

Note 15 - Retail Joint Venture

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Retail Joint Venture had total assets of $95.3 million and $85.0 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $629.3 million and $619.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Retail Joint Venture's liabilities included long-term debt of $611.6 million and $611.1 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs, related to the outstanding borrowings under the Retail Term Loan.

Note 16 - Segment Information

The Company reviews the results of operations for each of its operating segments, and identifies reportable segments based upon factors such as geography, regulatory environment, and the Company's organizational and management reporting structure. Wynn Macau and Encore, an expansion at Wynn Macau, are managed as a single integrated resort and have been aggregated as one reportable segment ("Wynn Macau"). Wynn Palace is presented as a separate reportable segment and is combined with Wynn Macau for geographical presentation. Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture are managed as a single integrated resort and have been aggregated as one reportable segment ("Las Vegas Operations"). On June 23, 2019, the Company opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts. Encore Boston Harbor is presented as one reportable segment.

The Company also reviews construction and development activities for each of its projects under development, in addition to its reportable segments. Other Macau primarily represents the assets for the Company's Macau holding company.

(2) Adjusted Property EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other, stock-based compensation, (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, change in derivatives fair value, change in Redemption Note fair value and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

(3) Excludes $0.7 million included in pre-opening expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Construction and Development Opportunities

We recently completed our reconfiguration of the Wynn Las Vegas golf course and opened the golf course on October 11, 2019. We are constructing an approximately 430,000 square foot meeting and convention facility at Wynn Las Vegas. The facility will feature approximately 217,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and convention space available for group reservations. Based on current designs, we estimate the total project budget to be approximately $425.0 million. As of September 30, 2019, we have incurred $302.7 million in total project costs. We expect to open the additional meeting and convention space in the first quarter of 2020.

Table of Contents

We are currently reconfiguring the West Casino at Wynn Macau. When completed, the enhanced space will consist of approximately 44 mass market table games, a refurbished high-limit slot area, two new restaurants and approximately 7,000 square feet of retail space, and will provide for improved pedestrian access from the boardwalk. We estimate the total project budget to be approximately $70.0 million. We expect to complete the gaming enhancements and open the new restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2019, and we expect to open the new retail space at varying times in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020.

We are in the preliminary planning and design stages of developing the Crystal Pavilion at Wynn Palace. We expect the Crystal Pavilion will become a unique world-class cultural destination, incorporating an art museum, an immersive theater and interactive installations, an expansive food hall, additional hotel rooms, and several signature entertainment features. We estimate construction of the initial phase of the Crystal Pavilion will begin in late 2021.

We are exploring various development opportunities with respect to the approximately 38 acres of land located on the Las Vegas Strip directly across from Wynn Las Vegas.

We continually seek out new opportunities for additional gaming or related businesses, in the United States, and worldwide.

Key Operating Measures

Certain key operating measures specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussion of our operational performance for the periods for which the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented. These key operating measures are defined below:


•	Table drop in mass market for our Macau Operations is the amount of cash that is deposited in a gaming table's drop box plus cash chips purchased at the casino cage.


•	Table drop for our Las Vegas Operations is the amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.


•	Table drop for Encore Boston Harbor is the amount of cash and gross markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.


•	Rolling chips are non-negotiable identifiable chips that are used to track turnover for purposes of calculating incentives within our Macau Operations' VIP program.


•	Turnover is the sum of all losing rolling chip wagers within our Macau Operations' VIP program.


•	Table games win is the amount of table drop or turnover that is retained and recorded as casino revenues. Table games win is before discounts, commissions and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.


•	Slot machine win is the amount of handle (representing the total amount wagered) that is retained by us and is recorded as casino revenues. Slot machine win is after adjustment for progressive accruals and free play, but before discounts and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.


•	Average daily rate ("ADR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms occupied.


•	Revenue per available room ("REVPAR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms available.


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

Below is a discussion of the methodologies used to calculate win percentages at our resorts.

In our VIP operations in Macau, customers primarily purchase rolling chips from the casino cage and can only use them to make wagers. Winning wagers are paid in cash chips. The loss of the rolling chips in the VIP operations is recorded as turnover and provides a base for calculating VIP win percentage. It is customary in Macau to measure VIP play using this rolling chip method. We expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 2.7% to 3.0%.



	31

Table of Contents

In our mass market operations in Macau, customers may purchase cash chips at either the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The measurements from our VIP and mass market operations are not comparable as the measurement method used in our mass market operations tracks the initial purchase of chips at the table and at the casino cage, while the measurement method from our VIP operations tracks the sum of all losing wagers. Accordingly, the base measurement from the VIP operations is much larger than the base measurement from the mass market operations. As a result, the expected win percentage with the same amount of gaming win is lower in the VIP operations when compared to the mass market operations.

In Las Vegas, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers at the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The cash and markers, net of redemptions, used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 22% to 26%.

At Encore Boston Harbor, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers only at the casino cage. The cash and gross markers used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 16% to 20%.

Summary of third quarter 2019 results

The following table summarizes our financial results for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

(1) See Item 1—"Financial Statements," Note 16, "Segment Information," for a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.

The decrease in operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by decreases of $132.4 million and $105.3 million from Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively. Operating revenues from Encore Boston Harbor were $175.8 million.

The decrease in net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by a decrease in VIP turnover and VIP table games win at our Macau Operations and increased depreciation expense from Encore Boston Harbor.

The decrease in Adjusted Property EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was driven by decreases of $64.0 million, $43.9 million, and $7.3 million from Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. Adjusted Property EBITDA from Encore Boston Harbor was $7.7 million.

(1) Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Room revenues increased $22.8 million, primarily due to $18.2 million from Encore Boston Harbor and higher ADR at our Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by rooms out of service for renovations at Wynn Macau.

Food and beverage revenues increased $34.6 million, primarily due to $29.0 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increased covers at our high-volume restaurants at our Macau Operations.

Entertainment, retail and other revenues decreased $5.1 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the effect of which was partially offset by Entertainment, retail and other revenues of $13.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor. During the third quarter of 2018, Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau recorded business interruption insurance proceeds of $5.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, related to the full settlement of claims from Typhoon Hato in 2017.

Total operating expenses	$	1,469,927	$	1,418,089	$	51,838		3.7

Total operating expenses increased $51.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to operating expenses associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor on June 23, 2019, partially offset by decreased casino expenses and pre-opening expenses.

Casino expenses decreased commensurate with the decrease in casino revenues at our Macau Operations and Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by $64.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor.

Room expenses increased primarily due to $9.5 million from Encore Boston Harbor and an increase of $2.0 million at our Las Vegas Operations. The increase at our Las Vegas Operations was primarily due to increased payroll costs.

Food and beverage expenses increased primarily due to $28.3 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $2.2 million and $2.4 million at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively. The increases at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau were driven by incremental costs associated with opening new food and beverage outlets at Wynn Palace and increased costs of goods sold.

Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the opening of Encore Boston Harbor, partially offset by a decrease of $8.9 million primarily related to corporate and other general and administrative expenses. The decrease in corporate and other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, pre-opening expenses totaled $1.6 million, which primarily related to the additional meeting and convention facility at our Las Vegas Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, pre-opening expenses totaled $13.7 million, which primarily related to the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation expense of $36.3 million associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense (dollars in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			Increase/ (Decrease)		Percent Change
Interest expense
Interest cost, including amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount and premium	$	117,960		$	109,176		$	8,784	8.0
Capitalized interest	(3,308		)	(16,169		)	12,861		(79.5	)
	$	114,652		$	93,007		$	21,645	23.3

Weighted average total debt balance	$	9,261,889		$	8,875,084
Weighted average interest rate	5.08		%	4.92		%

Interest costs increased due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance and weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased due to the completion of Encore Boston Harbor construction activities on June 23, 2019.

Other non-operating income and expenses

We recorded a $12.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Refinancing Transactions. For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement loss of $8.7 million and gain of $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities drove the variability between periods.

Income taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $19.7 million and an income tax benefit of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and the 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to an increase in deferred tax assets.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $63.7 million for the same period of 2018. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net income from WML.

Total operating expenses	$	4,305,913	$	4,540,813	$	(234,900	)	(5.2	)

Total operating expenses decreased $234.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a prior year litigation settlement expense of $463.6 million. The decrease was partially offset by operating expenses associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor on June 23, 2019.

Casino expenses decreased commensurate with the decrease in casino revenues at our Macau Operations and Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by $73.0 million of casino expenses from Encore Boston Harbor.

Room expenses increased primarily due to $10.0 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $3.0 million and $1.5 million from our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Palace, respectively. The increases from Wynn Palace and our Las Vegas Operations were primarily driven by increased payroll costs.

Food and beverage expenses increased primarily due to $31.9 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $11.9 million, $8.7 million and $6.6 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. The increases at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau were driven by incremental costs associated with opening new food and beverage outlets at Wynn Palace and increased cost of goods sold. The increase at our Las Vegas Operations was primarily driven by increased payroll costs.

Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $9.0 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to $67.1 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $4.7 million, $9.2 million, and $4.9 million, at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to increased payroll costs and property taxes at our Macau Operations and increased advertising costs at our Las Vegas Operations. Corporate and other general and administrative expenses increased $34.6 million, primarily due to a fine of $35.0 million assessed by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.

Litigation settlement expense of $463.6 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2018 in connection with the repayment of the Redemption Note for claims related to the allegedly below-market interest rate of the Redemption Note.

The provision for doubtful accounts increased $8.0 million and $1.3 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Macau, respectively. The change was primarily due to the impact of historical collection patterns and current collection trends, as well as the specific review of customer accounts, on our estimated allowance for the respective periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, pre-opening expenses totaled $99.2 million and $35.3 million, respectively, which primarily related to the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation expense of $41.6 million associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense (dollars in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			Increase/ (Decrease)			Percent Change
Interest expense
Interest cost, including amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount and premium	$	351,135		$	318,792		$	32,343		10.1
Capitalized interest	(50,154		)	(37,660		)	(12,494		)	33.2
	$	300,981		$	281,132		$	19,849		7.1

Weighted average total debt balance	9,277,142			9,022,065
Weighted average interest rate	5.00		%	4.71		%

Interest costs increased due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance and weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest increased due to Encore Boston Harbor construction activities. Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Other non-operating income and expenses

During the first quarter of 2018, we repaid the $1.94 billion principal amount of the Redemption Note and recorded a loss of $69.3 million from the change in the fair value of the Redemption Note.

We recorded a $12.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Refinancing Transactions. For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources." We recorded a $2.1 million net gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to the repayment of the Redemption Note, Wynn Resorts' purchase of $40.0 million of Wynn Las Vegas' 5 1/2% Senior Notes due 2025 and 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2027 and the execution of the supplemental indenture related to Wynn Las Vegas' 4 1/4% Senior Notes due 2023.

We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement loss of $3.3 million and gain of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The changes were primarily due to the impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities.

Income taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $19.4 million and an income tax benefit of $124.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense is primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to the settlement of the Redemption Note.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $132.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $180.0 million for the same period of 2018. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net income from WML.

Adjusted Property EBITDA

We use Adjusted Property EBITDA to manage the operating results of our segments. Adjusted Property EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other, stock-based compensation, (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, change in derivatives fair value, change in Redemption Note fair value and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because we believe that it is widely



	44

Table of Contents

used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. We use Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of our segments and to compare the operating performance of our properties with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including Wynn Resorts, Limited, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

The following table summarizes Adjusted Property EBITDA (in thousands) for Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor as reviewed by management and summarized in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 16, "Segment Information." That footnote also presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.

Encore Boston Harbor	7,744		—		7,744			—		7,890		—		7,890			—

Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Palace decreased 28.3% and 10.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in VIP turnover and VIP table games win.

Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Macau decreased 24.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in VIP turnover and VIP table games win. Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Macau decreased 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in VIP turnover and VIP table games win, a decrease in entertainment, retail and other revenues primarily related to the closure of certain owned retail outlets, and increased general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operations decreased 7.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in table games win percentage and increases in general and administrative expenses and provision for doubtful accounts. Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operations decreased 7.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to decreased table drop, increased food and beverage expenses, general and administrative expenses and provision for doubtful accounts.

Adjusted Property EBITDA at Encore Boston Harbor was $7.7 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income (excluding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges), interest paid and earned, and changes in working capital accounts such as receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, and payables. Our table games play is a mix of cash play and credit play, while our slot machine play is conducted primarily on a cash basis. A significant portion of our table games revenue is attributable to the play of a limited number of premium international customers who gamble on credit. The ability to collect these gaming receivables may impact our operating cash flow for the period. Our rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other revenue is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Accordingly, operating cash flows will be impacted by changes in operating income and accounts receivable, net.

The increase in net cash provided by operations was primarily driven by changes in our working capital accounts and an increase in deferred tax assets related to the settlement of the Redemption Note during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded and paid a $463.6 million litigation settlement expense.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred capital expenditures of $421.4 million related to the construction of Encore Boston Harbor, $104.1 million at Wynn Macau primarily related to the room remodel and West Casino renovation, $47.2 million and $71.9 million at Wynn Palace and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively, primarily related to



	46

Table of Contents

maintenance capital expenditures, and $166.4 million primarily related to the construction of the additional meeting and convention space at Wynn Las Vegas and the reconfiguration of the Wynn Las Vegas golf course. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $603.6 million in capital expenditures, for Encore Boston Harbor and $336.2 million for the acquisition of land on the Las Vegas Strip directly across from Wynn Las Vegas.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we borrowed an additional $250.0 million term loan under the Wynn Resorts Credit Agreement, and in connection with the Refinancing Transactions described below, we repaid $991.3 million of outstanding principal under the Wynn America Credit Facilities and $746.3 million of outstanding principal under the Wynn Resorts Term Loan along with related financing costs, using proceeds from the borrowing of $1.03 billion under the WRF Credit Facilities and issuance of $750.0 million of WRF 2029 notes. We also repaid $174.7 million, net of amounts borrowed, on the Wynn Macau Senior Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we used cash of $460.1 million for the payment of dividends.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repaid the Redemption Note principal amount of $1.94 billion using cash on hand and amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility and the WA Senior Revolving Credit Facility. In April 2018, we repaid all amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility and the WA Senior Revolving Credit Facility using net proceeds of $915.2 million from a registered public equity offering. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we borrowed $624.4 million under the Macau Senior Revolving Credit Facility, $615.0 million under the Retail Term Loan, and we used cash of $350.7 million for the payment of dividends and $301.1 million for distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of the Retail Joint Venture.

Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available revolver borrowing capacity under the Company as of September 30, 2019 (in thousands):



	Total Cash and Cash Equivalents		Revolver Borrowing Capacity
Wynn Macau, Limited	$	947,206	$	298,322
Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC	17,001		806,950
Wynn Resorts, Limited and other	712,625		—
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	1,676,832	$	1,105,272

Wynn Macau, Limited generates cash from our Macau Operations, which we expect to use to service our Wynn Macau Credit Facilities and WML Notes, pay dividends to shareholders of WML (of which we own approximately 72%), and fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The Wynn Macau Credit Facilities contain customary negative covenants and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries.

Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wynn America, LLC) ("WRF") generates cash from dividends and distributions from its subsidiaries, including Wynn Macau, Limited, and contributions from Wynn Resorts as required. We expect to use WRF cash to service our WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities, WRF 2029 Notes, and WLV Notes, make distributions to Wynn Resorts, and to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries.

Wynn Resorts, Limited is a holding company and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends is highly dependent on our ability to obtain funds and our subsidiaries' ability to provide funds to us. Wynn Resorts, Limited and other primarily generates cash from royalty and management agreements with our resorts, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries, and the operations of the Retail Joint Venture of which we own 50.1%. We expect to use this cash to service our Retail Term Loan, fund the construction of the additional meeting and convention space in Las Vegas, and pay dividends.

Refinancing Transactions



	47

Table of Contents

Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "2029 Indenture") among the WRF Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in a private offering. The 2029 Notes were issued at par. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, WRF entered into a credit agreement (the "WRF Credit Agreement") providing for a new first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the "WRF Term Loan") and a new first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million (the "WRF Revolver" and together with the WRF Term Loan, the "WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities") (the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 2029 Notes are collectively referred to as the "Refinancing Transactions").

The WRF Credit Agreement contains restrictions that limit the amount of certain restricted payments WRF and its restricted subsidiaries may make, including dividends and distributions paid to Wynn Resorts. Such restrictions include WRF's requirement to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 and a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement) not to exceed 5.50 to 1.00 at each fiscal quarter. WRF may make ordinary course dividends or distributions to Wynn Resorts in an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion in any fiscal year, with certain carryover provisions for unused amounts from the two preceding fiscal years, and unlimited provided that the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 5.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis for the distribution, plus certain other amounts subject to thresholds and limitations.

The 2029 Notes will mature on October 1, 2029 and bear interest at the rate of 5 1/8% per annum, payable in arrears semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020. The 2029 Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the WRF Issuers and the guarantors to, among other things, create or incur liens to secure debt in excess of the greater of $1.85 billion or an amount that would cause the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2029 Indenture) to be greater than 3.00 to 1.00.

Wynn Resorts Finance used the net proceeds from the Refinancing Transactions to refinance the existing Wynn America Credit Facilities and the Wynn Resorts Term Loan and to pay related fees and expenses.

For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 6, "Long-Term Debt."

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

We may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.

Legal proceedings in which we are involved also may impact our liquidity. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such proceedings. In addition, litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding legal proceedings, see Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies."

Our Board of Directors has authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion. Under the equity repurchase program, we may repurchase the Company's outstanding shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2019, we had $800.1 million in repurchase authority remaining under the program.

We have in the past repurchased, and in the future, we may periodically consider repurchasing our outstanding notes for cash. The amount of any notes to be repurchased, as well as the timing of any repurchases, will be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price, contractual requirements or consents, and capital availability.

New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in domestic and international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any new development would require us to



	48

Table of Contents

obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts, Limited or through subsidiaries separate from the Las Vegas or Macau-related entities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities nor do we engage in any derivatives except for an interest rate collar associated with our Retail Term Loan. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $18.1 million.

Contractual Commitments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, other than an increase in our fixed interest rate long-term debt obligations of $750.0 million and an increase in our annual fixed interest payments of $38.4 million, offset by a decrease in our variable interest rate long-term debt obligations of $646.0 million and a decrease in our annual estimated variable interest payments of $47.5 million, primarily in connection with the Refinancing Transactions as described above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A description of our critical accounting policies is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no significant changes to these policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

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.

Interest Rate Risks

One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, supplemented by hedging activities as believed by us to be appropriate. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of September 30, 2019, approximately 54.5% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our borrowings as of September 30, 2019, an assumed 100 basis point change in the variable rates would cause our annual interest expense to change by $43.8 million.

In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Retail Term Loan, the Company entered into a five year interest rate collar with a notional value of $615.0 million. The interest rate collar establishes a range whereby the Company will pay the counterparty if one-month LIBOR falls below the established floor rate of 1.00%, and the counterparty will pay the Company if one-month LIBOR exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.75%.

Foreign Currency Risks

We expect most of the revenues and expenses for any casino that we operate in Macau will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars or Macau patacas; however, a significant portion of our Wynn Macau, Limited debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rates resulting in weakening of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have materially adverse effects on our results, financial condition and ability to service debt. Based on our balances



	50

Table of Contents

as of September 30, 2019, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of $27.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized 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 such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
