In the Macau Special Administrative Region ("Macau") of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), 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, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture as its Las Vegas Operations.

("Wynn Interactive"), through which it operates online sports betting, gaming, and social casino businesses.
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 months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022.
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 17, "Retail Joint Venture." All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to, inputs into the Company's estimated allowance for credit losses, estimates regarding the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, valuations of derivatives, and litigation and contingency estimates.
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 $310.4 million and $176.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Macau Gaming Concession
In December 2022, Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA"), an indirect subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, Limited, entered into a definitive gaming concession contract (the "Gaming Concession Contract") with the Macau government, pursuant to which Wynn Macau SA was granted a 10-year gaming concession commencing on January 1, 2023 and expiring on December 31, 2032, to operate games of chance at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau. Under the terms of the Gaming Concession Contract, Wynn Macau SA is required to pay the Macau government an annual gaming premium consisting of a fixed and a variable portion. The fixed portion of the premium is composed of an annual amount equal to MOP30.0 million (approximately $3.7 million). The variable portion is composed of an annual amount equal to MOP300,000 (approximately $37 thousand) per gaming table located in special gaming halls reserved exclusively to particular games or players, MOP150,000 (approximately $19 thousand) per gaming table that is not reserved exclusively to particular games or players, and MOP1,000 (approximately $124) per gaming machine, including slot machines, operated by Wynn Macau SA.

In December 2022, in accordance with the requirements of the Macau Gaming Law, Wynn Macau SA and Palo Real Estate Company Limited ("Palo"), a subsidiary of Wynn Macau SA, entered into agreements (collectively, the "Property Transfer Agreements") with the Macau government, pursuant to which Wynn Macau SA and Palo transferred the casino areas and gaming equipment of the Company's Macau Operations to the Macau government without compensation on December 31, 2022, and the Macau government agreed to transfer such casino areas and gaming equipment back to Wynn Macau SA as of January 1, 2023, for its use in the operation of games of chance at Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace as permitted under the Gaming Concession Contract through December 31, 2032. As the Company expects to continue to operate the casino areas and gaming equipment at its Macau Operations in the same manner as under the previous concession, obtain substantially all of the economic benefits, and bear all of the risks arising from the use of these assets, the Company will continue to recognize the casino areas and gaming equipment as property and equipment over their remaining estimated useful lives. In exchange for the use of such assets, Wynn Macau SA has agreed to make annual payments to the Macau government of MOP53.1 million (approximately $6.6 million) during each of the years ending December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and an annual payment of MOP177.0 million (approximately $21.9 million) during each of the remaining years of the term of the Gaming Concession Contract through December 31, 2032, subject to adjustment in each year based on the average price index in Macau. Pursuant to the Gaming Concession Contract, Wynn Macau SA will revert to the Macau government the casino areas and gaming equipment, without compensation and free of encumbrance upon the rescission or termination of the gaming concession on December 31, 2032.
On January 1, 2023, the Company recognized an intangible asset and financial liability of MOP1.68 billion (approximately $208.3 million), representing the right to operate games of chance at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau and the unconditional obligation to make payments under the Gaming Concession Contract. This intangible asset comprises the contractually obligated annual payments of fixed and variable premiums, as well as fees associated with the above-described Property Transfer Agreements. The contractually obligated annual variable premium payments associated with the intangible asset was determined using the total number of gaming tables and gaming machines that Wynn Macau SA is currently approved to operate by the Macau government. In the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, the noncurrent portion of the financial liability is included in "Other long-term liabilities" and the current portion is included in "Other accrued liabilities." The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the Gaming Concession Contract. The Company expects that amortization of the Macau Gaming Concession will be $15.6 million in the nine months ending December 31, 2023, and $20.8 million each year from 2024 to 2032.

April 17, 2023, the WML Convertible Bonds are convertible at the option of the holder thereof into fully paid ordinary shares of WML, each with a nominal value of HK$0.001 per share ("Ordinary Shares"), at the initial conversion price of approximately HK$10.24 (equivalent to approximately $1.30) per share, subject to and upon compliance with the terms and conditions of the WML Convertible Bonds (the "Terms and Conditions," and such right, the "Conversion Right"). The conversion price is at the fixed exchange rate of HK$7.8497 per $1.00, subject to standard adjustments for certain dilutive events as described in the Terms and Conditions. WML has the option upon conversion by a bondholder to pay an amount of cash equivalent described in the Terms and Conditions in order to satisfy such Conversion Right in whole or in part.
Holders of the WML Convertible Bonds have the option to require WML to redeem all or some only of such holder’s WML Convertible Bonds (i) on March 7, 2027 at their principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; or (ii) on the Relevant Event Redemption Date (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) at their principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to, but excluding, such date, following the occurrence of (a) when the Ordinary Shares cease to be listed or admitted to trading or are suspended from trading for a period equal to or exceeding 10 consecutive trading days on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, or if applicable, the alternative stock exchange, (b) when there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Terms and Conditions), or (c) when less than 25% of WML’s total number of issued Ordinary Shares are held by the public (as interpreted under Rule 8.24 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited).
The WML Convertible Bonds may also be redeemed at the option of WML under certain circumstances specified in the Terms and Conditions, in whole, but not in part, at any time after March 7, 2027, but prior to March 7, 2029, upon giving notice to the bondholders in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. The WML Convertible Bonds constitute direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and, subject to the Terms and Conditions, unsecured obligations of WML and rank pari passu and without any preference or priority among themselves. The Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of Conversion Right will be fully-paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully-paid Ordinary Shares in issue on the relevant registration date set forth in the Terms and Conditions.
The Trust Deed contains covenants limiting WML's and all of its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, create, permit to subsist or arise or have outstanding any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance or certain security interest; consolidate or merge with or into another company; and sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its and its subsidiaries’ properties or assets, with certain exceptions. The Trust Deed also contains customary events of default.
The Company determined that the conversion feature contained within the WML Convertible Bonds is required to be bifurcated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a free-standing derivative (the "WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative"). In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative will be recorded at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in the statement of operations. For more information, see "Note 8 - WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative." As a result, the Company recognized a debt discount of $123.5 million within Long-term debt, representing the estimated fair value of the holders' conversion option upon completion of the Offering. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the WML Convertible Bonds using the effective interest method. As of March 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative was a liability of $98.6 million, recorded within Long-term debt within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was approximately $11.67 billion and $11.23 billion, respectively, compared to its carrying value, excluding debt issuance costs and original issue discount and premium, of $12.34 billion and $12.16 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt is based on recent trades, if available, and indicative pricing from market information (Level 2 inputs).
Note 8 - WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative
An embedded derivative is a feature contained within a contract that affects some or all of the cash flows or the value of other exchanges required by the contract in a manner similar to a derivative instrument. Embedded derivatives are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately from the host contract and carried at fair value when: (a) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and (b) a separate, freestanding instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument. The Company determined that the conversion feature contained within the WML Convertible Bonds is not indexed to WML's equity and, as such, is required to be bifurcated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a free-standing derivative. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative will be recorded at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in the statement of operations.
The Company used a binomial lattice model in order to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative in the WML Convertible Bonds. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are unobservable (Level 3) inputs and assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term, and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of shares of WML common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining term to maturity of the WML Convertible Bonds. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Hong Kong and United States benchmark yield curves on the valuation date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining term of the WML Convertible Bonds. The expected life of the WML Convertible Bonds is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining term to maturity. The dividend yield is based on the historical WML dividend rate over the last several years.
The following table sets forth the inputs to the lattice models that were used to value the embedded derivatives:

The Company's primary liabilities associated with customer contracts are as follows (in thousands):
| March 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | Increase / (decrease) | March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | Increase / (decrease) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) Casino outstanding chips generally represent amounts owed to gaming promoters and customers for chips in their possession, and casino front money deposits represent funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs. These amounts are included in customer deposits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and may be recognized as revenue or redeemed for cash in the future.
(2) Advance room deposits and ticket sales represent cash received in advance for goods or services to be provided in the future. These amounts are included in customer deposits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be recognized as revenue when the goods or services are provided or the events are held. Decreases in this balance generally represent the recognition of revenue and increases in the balance represent additional deposits made by customers. The deposits are expected to primarily be recognized as revenue within one year.
(3) Other gaming-related liabilities generally represent unpaid wagers primarily in the form of unredeemed slot, race and sportsbook tickets or wagers for future sporting events. The amounts are included in other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(4) Loyalty program and related liabilities represent the deferral of revenue until the loyalty points or other complimentaries are redeemed. The amounts are included in other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being earned by customers.

Note 13 - Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income tax expense in 2023 primarily relates to U.S. operating profits. Income tax expense in 2022 primarily related to the Macau dividend tax agreement that provides for an annual payment as complementary tax otherwise due by stockholders of WRM.
Note 14 - 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 (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, adjusted for the potential dilutive impact assuming that the conversion of the WML Convertible Bonds occurred as of the date of their issuance under the if-converted method, 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, to the extent such impact is not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock.

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.
Macau Litigation Related to Dore
Wynn Macau SA has been named as a defendant in lawsuits filed in the Macau Court of First Instance by individuals who claim to be investors in, or persons with credit in accounts maintained by, Dore Entertainment Company Limited ("Dore"), an independent, Macau registered and licensed company that operated a gaming promoter business at Wynn Macau. In connection with the alleged theft, embezzlement, fraud and/or other crime(s) perpetrated by a former employee of Dore (the “Dore Incident”), the plaintiffs of the lawsuits allege that Dore failed to honor withdrawal of funds deposited with Dore as investments or gaming deposits that allegedly resulted in certain losses for these individuals. The principal allegations common to the
WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
lawsuits are that Wynn Macau SA, as a gaming concessionaire, should be held responsible for Dore’s conduct on the basis that Wynn Macau SA is responsible for the supervision of Dore’s activities at Wynn Macau that resulted in the purported losses.
The Company believes these cases are without merit and unfounded and intends to vigorously defend against the remaining claims pleaded against Wynn Macau SA in these lawsuits. The Company has made estimates for potential litigation costs based upon its assessment of the likely outcome and has recorded provisions for such amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of the pending Dore cases, and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Securities Class 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. On April 15, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, which the court granted on May 27, 2020, with leave to amend. On July 1, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On August 14, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 28, 2021, the court granted in part, and denied in part, the Company's motion to dismiss the amended complaint, dismissing certain of plaintiffs' claims, including all claims against current CEO Craig Billings and the individual directors, and allowing other claims to proceed against the Company and several of the Company's former executive officers, including Matt. Maddox, Stephen A. Wynn, Kimmarie Sinatra, and Steven Cootey. On March 2, 2023, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification and appointed lead counsel. The parties are now proceeding with discovery.
The defendants in this action intend to vigorously defend against the claims pleaded against them and believe that the claims are without merit. This action is in the preliminary stages and the Company has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the range of possible loss, if any.
Federal Investigation
From time to time, the Company receives regulatory inquiries about compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The Company received requests for information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California relating to its anti-money laundering policies and procedures, and beginning in 2020 received several grand jury subpoenas regarding various transactions at Wynn Las Vegas relating to certain patrons and agents who reside or operate in foreign jurisdictions. The Company continues to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's Office in its investigation, which remains ongoing. Because no charges or claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation, the extent of the materiality of the outcome, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company.
Note 17 - Retail Joint Venture
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Retail Joint Venture had total assets of $102.2 million and $102.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $621.6 million and $620.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Retail Joint Venture's liabilities included long-term debt of $613.6 million and $613.5 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs, related to the outstanding borrowings under the Retail Term Loan.

Adjusted Property EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR calculations preopening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDAR should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) 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 (loss), Adjusted Property EBITDAR 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, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDAR. Also, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDAR may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Overview
We are a designer, developer, and operator of integrated resorts featuring luxury hotel rooms, high-end retail space, an array of dining and entertainment options, meeting and convention facilities, and gaming, all supported by an unparalleled focus on our guests, our people, and our community. Through our approximately 72% ownership of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), our concessionaire Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA") operates two integrated resorts in the Macau Special Administrative Region ("Macau") of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau (collectively, our "Macau Operations"). In Las Vegas, Nevada, we operate and, with the exception of certain retail space, own 100% of Wynn Las Vegas. Additionally, we are 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"). We refer to Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture as our Las Vegas Operations. In Everett, Massachusetts, we operate Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort. We also hold an approximately 97% interest in, and consolidate, Wynn Interactive Ltd. ("Wynn Interactive"), through which we operate WynnBet, our digital sports betting and casino gaming business.
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 presented as supplemental disclosures because management and/or certain investors use these measures to better understand period-over-period fluctuations in our casino and hotel operating revenues. 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. Table games win does not include poker rake.
•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.
•Poker rake is the portion of cash wagered by patrons in our poker rooms that is retained by the casino as a service fee, after adjustment for progressive accruals, but before the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis. Poker tables are not included in our measure of average number of table games.
•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 typically expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 3.1% to 3.4%.
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 18% to 22%.

The increase in operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by increases of $206.0 million, $145.6 million, $95.6 million, and $25.5 million from Wynn Palace, our Las Vegas Operations, Wynn Macau, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively, resulting from an increase in gaming volumes, hotel occupancy, and covers at restaurants. The results of our Macau Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by certain travel-related restrictions and conditions, including COVID-19 testing and other mitigation procedures, related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the course of December 2022 and January 2023, Macau authorities relaxed or eliminated most COVID-19 related protective measures. Since then, and as of the date of this report, there are no remaining entry restrictions or mandatory quarantine requirements in place for travelers to Macau.
The increase in net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to increased operating revenues at our Macau Operations, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, partially offset by increased operating expenses associated with higher business volumes.
Financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Total operating expenses increased $206.0 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to increased operating costs associated with higher business volumes at each of our properties, partially offset by decreased depreciation and amortization and property charges and other expenses.
Casino expenses increased $91.9 million, $40.4 million, $7.6 million, and $9.5 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. These increases were primarily due to increased operating costs, including gaming tax expense, driven by the increase in casino revenues.
Room expenses increased $9.1 million and $2.1 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. These increases were primarily a result of higher operating costs related to the increase in occupancy.
Food and beverage expenses increased $24.9 million and $4.3 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. These increases were primarily a result of increased operating costs related to an increase in food and beverage revenues at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor.
Entertainment, retail and other expenses increased $17.3 million at our Las Vegas operations, primarily due to higher operating costs associated with live and theatrical entertainment, partially offset by a decrease of $14.1 million at Wynn Interactive, primarily due to decreased marketing costs.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increases of $35.3 million and $14.6 million at Encore Boston Harbor and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. These increases were attributable to triple-net operating lease expense at Encore Boston Harbor following the sale-leaseback transaction in December 2022, and increases in payroll and other general and administrative expenses at our Las Vegas Operations required to support higher business volumes during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, corporate and other general and administrative expenses increased $12.1 million, primarily due to increased development costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, pre-opening expenses totaled $4.5 million, which primarily related to the launch of Wynn Interactive operations in Massachusetts. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, pre-opening expenses totaled $2.4 million, which primarily related to reconfiguring the theater space at Wynn Las Vegas.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $15.7 million, primarily due to the derecognition of certain real estate assets in connection with the Encore Boston Harbor sale-leaseback transaction in December 2022.
Property charges and other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted primarily of asset abandonments of $2.2 million at Wynn Palace. Our property charges and other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of impairment of goodwill of $30.3 million at Wynn Interactive, asset abandonments of $1.0 million and
$2.1 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Interactive, respectively, and contract termination expenses of $9.6 million at Wynn Interactive.
Other non-operating income and expenses
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased $35.6 million primarily due to an increase in the weighted average total debt balance and an increase in the weighted average interest rate to 5.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 5.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
We recorded interest income of $40.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions.
We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement loss of $30.6 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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.
We recorded a gain of $23.0 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, from change in derivatives fair value. The change in derivatives fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included a gain of $24.9 million recorded in relation to the conversion feature of the WML Convertible Bonds.
We recorded a $12.2 million loss on debt financing transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to the issuance of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes and the repurchase of the tendered 2025 WRF Senior Notes.
Income taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income tax expense in 2023 primarily relates to U.S. operating profits. Income tax expense in 2022 primarily related to the Macau dividend tax agreement that provides for an annual payment as complementary tax otherwise due by stockholders of WRM.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $11.2 million and $71.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net loss from WML.
Segment Information
As further described in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 18, "Segment Information," we use Adjusted Property EBITDAR to manage the operating results of our segments. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other (including intercompany golf course, meeting and convention, and water rights leases), stock-based compensation, change in derivatives fair value, loss on debt financing transactions, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR 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. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR 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 EBITDAR calculations preopening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDAR should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of our 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 (loss), Adjusted Property EBITDAR does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDAR. Also, our calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDAR may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
The following table summarizes Adjusted Property EBITDAR (dollars in thousands) for Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas Operations, Encore Boston Harbor, and Wynn Interactive as reviewed by management and summarized in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 18, "Segment Information." That footnote also presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDAR to net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.

Adjusted Property EBITDAR at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau increased $111.9 million and $49.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. In December 2022 and early January 2023, the Macau government relaxed or eliminated most of COVID-19 related protective measures, which resulted in increased business volumes at our Macau Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our Macau Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by certain travel-related restrictions and conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted Property EBITDAR at our Las Vegas Operations increased $72.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in revenues from casino, hotel, and food and beverage operations, partially offset by increased operating expenses.
Adjusted Property EBITDAR at Encore Boston Harbor increased $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in revenues from casino operations, partially offset by increased operating expenses.
Adjusted Property EBITDAR at Wynn Interactive increased $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in marketing and promotional expenses, depreciation and amortization, and property charges and other expenses.

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 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to increased revenues from our Macau Operations, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, which was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses associated with higher business volumes. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increased operating revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities primarily consist of project capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures associated with maintaining and continually refining our world-class integrated resort properties.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred capital expenditures of $38.5 million at our Las Vegas Operations, $30.1 million at Encore Boston Harbor, $6.4 million at Wynn Palace, and $3.0 million at Wynn Macau primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures, and $46.5 million at Corporate and other primarily related to future development projects.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred capital expenditures of $67.8 million at our Las Vegas Operations primarily related to the Wynn Las Vegas room remodel, and $7.5 million at Encore Boston Harbor, $13.1 million at Wynn Palace, and $4.2 million at Wynn Macau, each primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to the following debt issuances and repayments (in thousands):

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we paid $31.3 million for financing costs related to the financing activities above.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we received a $50.0 million contribution from a noncontrolling interest holder in exchange for a 49.9% interest in certain retail space contributed by the Company to the Retail Joint Venture. In addition, we made a $12.5 million quarterly amortization payment under the WRF Term Loan Facility.

(1) Excluding Wynn Macau, Limited and subsidiaries.
Wynn Macau, Limited and subsidiaries. WML generates cash from our Macau Operations. We expect to use this cash to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements at WML and our Macau Operations, and to service our WML Senior Notes, WM Cayman II Revolver, and WML Convertible Bonds. WML paid no dividends during 2022 or the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The borrowings under the WM Cayman II Revolver bear interest at LIBOR or HIBOR plus a margin of 2.625% per annum until June 30, 2023, the date from which the margin will be 1.875% to 2.875% per annum based on WM Cayman II’s leverage ratio on a consolidated basis. The final maturity of all outstanding loans under the Revolving Facility is September 16, 2025.
On May 5, 2022, WM Cayman II and its lenders agreed to waive certain financial covenants in the facility agreement under the WM Cayman II Revolver in respect of the relevant periods ending on the following applicable test dates: (a) June 30,
2022; (b) September 30, 2022; (c) December 31, 2022; and (d) March 31, 2023; and to provide for a floor on the interest rate margin of 2.625% per annum through June 30, 2023. WML, as guarantor, may be subject to certain restrictions on payments of dividends or distributions to its shareholders, unless certain financial criteria have been satisfied through the facility agreement.
On March 7, 2023, WML completed an offering (the "Offering") of $600.0 million 4.50% convertible bonds due 2029 (the "WML Convertible Bonds"). The WML Convertible Bonds are constituted by a trust deed dated March 7, 2023 (the "Trust Deed"). The net proceeds from the Offering, after deduction of commission and other related expenses, were $585.9 million. WML intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. The WML Convertible Bonds bear interest on their outstanding principal amount from and including March 7, 2023 at the rate of 4.50% per annum.
The WML Convertible Bonds are convertible at the option of the holder thereof into fully paid ordinary shares of WML, at the initial conversion price of approximately HK$10.24 (equivalent to approximately $1.30) per share, subject to and upon compliance with the terms and conditions of the WML Convertible Bonds (the "Terms and Conditions," and such right, the "Conversion Right"). The conversion price is at the fixed rate of HK$7.8497 (equivalent to US$1.00), subject to standard adjustments for certain dilutive events as described in the Terms and Conditions. WML has the option, in its sole discretion, to pay to the relevant bondholder an amount of cash equivalent in order to satisfy the Conversion Right in whole or in part.
The holders of the WML Convertible Bonds have the option to require WML to redeem all or some only of such holder’s Bonds (i) on March 7, 2027 at their principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption; or (ii) on the Relevant Event Redemption Date (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) at their principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to, but excluding such date, following the occurrence of (a) when the Ordinary Shares cease to be listed or admitted to trading or are suspended from trading for a period equal to or exceeding 10 consecutive trading days on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, or if applicable, the alternative stock exchange, (b) when there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Terms and Conditions), or (c) when less than 25% of WML’s total number of issued Ordinary Shares are held by the public (as interpreted under Rule 8.24 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited). The WML Convertible Bonds may also be redeemed at the option of WML in whole, but not in part, at any time after March 7, 2027, but prior to March 7, 2029, upon giving notice to the bondholders in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, under certain circumstances specified in the Trust Deed.
If our portion of our cash and cash equivalents were repatriated to the U.S. on March 31, 2023, it would be subject to minimal U.S. taxes in the year of repatriation.
Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC and subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC ("WRF" or "Wynn Resorts Finance") generates cash from distributions from its subsidiaries, which include our Macau Operations, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor, and capital contributions from Wynn Resorts, as required. In addition, WRF may utilize its available revolving borrowing capacity as needed. We expect to use this cash to service our WRF Credit Facilities, the WRF Senior Notes and the Wynn Las Vegas Senior Notes, and to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements as needed.
WRF is a holding company and, as a result, its ability to pay dividends to Wynn Resorts is dependent on WRF receiving distributions from its subsidiaries, which include WML, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, and Wynn MA. The WRF Credit Agreement contains customary negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict WRF's ability to pay dividends or distributions and incur additional indebtedness.
On February 16, 2023, WRF and its subsidiary Wynn Resorts Capital Corp. (together with WRF, the “WRF Issuers”) issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 WRF Senior Notes") in a private offering. The 2031 WRF Senior Notes were issued at par, for proceeds of $596.2 million, net of $3.8 million of related fees and expenses. Also on February 16, 2023, WRF completed a cash tender offer for any and all of the outstanding principal amount of the 2025 WRF Senior Notes, and accepted for purchase valid tenders with respect to $506.4 million and paid a tender premium of $12.4 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes to purchase such tendered 2025 WRF Senior Notes and to pay related fees and expenses, and intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. In April 2023, we repurchased the remaining outstanding 2025 WRF Senior Notes using the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes and cash held by WRF, at a price equal to 101.938% of the principal amount plus accrued interest under the terms of its indenture.
In March 2023, we repurchased all of the outstanding Wynn Las Vegas 4.25% Senior Notes due 2023 of $500.0 million using cash held by WRF, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest under the terms of their indenture.
Wynn Resorts, Limited and other subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts, Limited is a holding company and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends is 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 (including intellectual property license) 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%. Fees payable by Wynn Macau SA to Wynn Resorts, Limited under its intellectual property license agreement are capped at $75.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We expect to use cash held by Wynn Resorts, Limited and other to service our Retail Term Loan, to pay dividends, to fund future development projects, and for general corporate purposes.
Wynn Resorts, Limited has resumed its quarterly dividend program, with a cash dividend of $0.25 per share declared on May 9, 2023, payable on June 6, 2023 to stockholders of record as of May 23, 2023.
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 Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies."
In April 2016, our Board of Directors has authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.00 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under this equity repurchase program. As of March 31, 2023, we had $628.8 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 shares and/or 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 may require us to obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts, Limited or through subsidiaries separate from the Las Vegas, Boston or Macau-related entities.
Contractual Commitments
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, except as described below, 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, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our fixed interest rate long-term debt obligations increased by a net amount of $193.5 million, as a result of $1.20 billion in long-term debt issuances, net of $1.01 billion in debt repayments. Additionally, our annual fixed interest payments are expected to increase $15.6 million in 2023, $30.5 million in 2024, $58.3 million in 2025, $69.8 million in each of 2026 and 2027, and $166.2 million thereafter, primarily as a result of the issuance of the WRF 2031 Senior Notes and the WML Convertible Bonds and the repurchase of the tendered 2025 WRF Senior Notes and the 2023 Wynn Las Vegas Senior Notes, each 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, 2022. Except as described below, there have been no significant changes to these policies for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative
On March 7, 2023, WML completed the Offering of the WML Convertible Bonds. The Company determined that the conversion feature contained within the WML Convertible Bonds is not indexed to WML's equity and, as such, is required to be bifurcated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a free-standing derivative (the "WML Convertible Bonds Conversion Option Derivative"). In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative will be recorded at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in the statement of operations.
The Company used a binomial lattice model in order to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative in the WML Convertible Bonds. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are unobservable (Level 3) inputs and assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term, and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of shares of WML common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining term to maturity of the WML Convertible Bonds. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Hong Kong and United States benchmark yield curves on the valuation date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining term of the WML Convertible Bonds. The expected life of the WML Convertible Bonds is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining term to maturity. The dividend yield is based on the historical WML dividend rate over the last several years. The output of the lattice model can be highly sensitive to fluctuations in its inputs.

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 March 31, 2023, approximately 24% of our long-term debt was based on variable rates. Based on our outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2023, an assumed 100 basis point increase and decrease in the applicable variable rates would have caused our annual interest expense to change by $23.2 million and $23.7 million, respectively.
In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Retail Term Loan, the Company entered into an 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 the debt issued by WML 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 as of March 31, 2023, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of $44.8 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 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 CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, 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 furnishes 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 furnishes under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in 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.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are occasionally party to lawsuits. As with all litigation, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such matters and we note that litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding the Company's legal proceedings see Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" of Part I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
A description of our risk factors can be found in Item 1A, Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no material changes to those risk factors during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
