__________________________

(1)See “— Segment Adjusted Property EBITDA” for a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to net income.

We view each of our Integrated Resort properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands.

Macao

Our Macao operations showed improvement with net revenues increasing $399 million, or 23.5%, and adjusted property EBITDA increasing $98 million, or 18.3%, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025. The improvement was driven by our properties where new and refreshed premium suites and hospitality offerings have been introduced, such as the Londoner Grand. Despite the improvement, we continue to face a competitive operating environment.

Singapore

Our Singapore operations continue to deliver exceptional results, supported by the property’s unique and luxurious integrated resort offerings, with adjusted property EBITDA increasing $183 million, or 30.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The key driver of the increase being a 31.4% increase in gross gaming revenue to $1.13 billion, while non-gaming revenues also contributed meaningfully to the overall results driven by increased business volumes and the launch of new dining venues.

Summary

During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to execute our strategic objectives as we delivered growth in both Singapore and Macao while continuing to increase the return of capital to stockholders, with the repurchase of $740 million of our common stock and a dividend payment of $202 million, and will continue to invest in premium suites and other hospitality offerings.

We believe we have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.33 billion as of March 31, 2026 and access to $3.97 billion of available borrowing capacity under our U.S., SCL and Singapore revolving credit facilities as of the date of this report. We believe we are able to support our continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and maintain our share repurchase and dividend programs to continue to return excess capital to stockholders.

Operating Results

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands are dependent upon the volume of patrons who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by the volume of gaming patrons who visit the property on a daily basis.

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

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip table games are expected to produce a win percentage of 3.3% in Macao. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we revised our expected win percentage for Singapore to be based on the theoretical hold percentage measured by technology-enabled tables (“smart tables”). The theoretical hold percentage based on smart table data was 3.6% and 3.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in Singapore. Our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 23.1%, 22.8%, 21.0%, 21.6%, 14.8% and 23.1% at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage of 3.6%, 3.8%, 3.7%, 2.3%, 2.4% and 4.4% at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win and hold percentages may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 11.3% and 12.0%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period and average daily room rate (“ADR,” a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements. The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be re-sold to walk-in guests.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area (“GLOA”) divided by gross leasable area (“GLA”) at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

ITEM 7. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.

Overview

We view each of our Integrated Resorts as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands.

During 2025, we achieved milestones in advancing several of our strategic objectives. During the second quarter of 2025, we completed the conversion of the Sheraton Grand Macao into the Londoner Grand, which included the construction of 2,405 newly renovated rooms and suites, representing Macao’s first Marriott International Luxury Collection hotel, upgraded the gaming areas and included the addition of attractions, dining, retail and entertainment offerings. Additionally, we completed the renovations of the Tower 3 hotel rooms at Marina Bay Sands into world class suites in the second quarter of 2025. The completion of the renovations of Towers 1, 2 and 3 resulted in a total of 1,844 rooms, including 775 suites.

Macao

The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao increased approximately 18.5% during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue increased approximately 9.1% during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

Singapore

Airlift passenger movement has increased with a total of 70 million passengers having passed through Singapore’s Changi Airport during the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 3.4% compared to the same period in 2024.

The STB announced total visitation to Singapore increased from approximately 16.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately 16.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Summary

Our Macao operations continue to face a competitive casino operating environment, with adjusted property EBITDA having decreased $17 million, or 0.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our Singapore operations continue to deliver exceptional results in terms of adjusted property EBITDA having increased $870 million, or 42.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, with the key driver being an increase in gross gaming revenue.

We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.84 billion as of December 31, 2025 and access to $1.50 billion, $1.71 billion and $458 million of available borrowing capacity from our 2024 LVSC Revolving Facility, 2024 SCL Revolving Facility and 2025 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe we are able to support our continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and maintain our share repurchase and dividend programs to continue to return excess capital to stockholders.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we revised our expected win percentage for Singapore to be based on the theoretical hold percentage measured by technology-enabled tables (“smart tables”). The quarterly theoretical hold percentage based on smart table data was 3.8%, 4.1%, 4.2% and 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and 3.5% and 3.7% for the three months ended September 30 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in Singapore. Actual win and hold percentages may vary from our expected win percentage and historical win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 9.4% and 12.3%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge, excluding rent concessions, in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing twelve months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of twelve months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

In our experience, average win percentages remain fairly consistent when measured over extended periods of time with a significant volume of wagers, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Room revenues increased due to increases of $79 million and $69 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Macao room revenues increased due to increases in ADR and occupancy, partially offset by a decrease in available rooms in connection with the conversion of the Sheraton towers to the Londoner Grand, which was completed in April 2025. Marina Bay Sands room revenues increased due to increases in ADR and occupancy, partially offset by a decrease in available rooms due to reduced inventory upon the phased completion of the room renovations, which concluded in May 2025.

Food and beverage revenues increased due to increases of $27 million and $10 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was primarily due to increased business volumes and the opening of a new venue. The increase at our Macao operations was primarily due to the opening of new venues since September 2024, partially offset by a decrease in business volumes at other outlets.

Mall revenues increased due to increases of $28 million and $18 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The increase at our Macao operations was driven by increases of $20 million in overage rent, $4 million in base rent and $4 million in revenues related to common area maintenance (“CAM”), and the increase at Marina Bay Sands was due to an $18 million increase in base rent.

Loss on disposal or impairment of assets24750197394.0%
Total operating expenses$10,199$8,896$1,30314.6%

Operating expenses increased due primarily to increases of $658 million and $438 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, and $189 million in loss on impairment of assets related to our development activities.

Casino expenses increased due to increases of $347 million and $310 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was primarily attributable to an increase of $302 million in gaming taxes, consistent with increased gross gaming revenues, and an increase in gaming tax rates from 8% to 12% on premium play beginning in July 2025 (compared to the increased tax rate beginning in November 2024 in the prior year) due to the tiered tax structure in Singapore, and a $33 million increase in payroll and related expenses. The increase at our Macao operations was primarily attributable to an increase in gaming taxes of $176 million, consistent with increased gross gaming revenues, and increases of $65 million in payroll and related expenses and $37 million in casino marketing expenses.

Room expenses increased due to increases of $21 million and $18 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increases were driven by higher costs associated with new and elevated suites and rooms introduced at Marina Bay Sands and the conversion of the Sheraton towers to the Londoner Grand in Macao, which concluded in April 2025.

Food and beverage expenses increased due to increases of $33 million and $17 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increases were driven by increased business volumes and the opening of venues at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations since the second half of 2024.

The provision for credit losses increased due to increases of $53 million and $13 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was due to an increase of $48 million in the provision for the current year and a $5 million decrease in collections on previously reserved accounts. The increase at our Macao operations was due to a $13 million increase in provision for the current year. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the patrons who owe us money from gaming activities. We believe the amount of our provision for credit losses in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily driven by increases of $35 million and $3 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was due to increases of $15 million in payroll, $11 million in property taxes and $8 million in maintenance contracts, partially offset by a $13 million decrease in utilities. The increase at our Macao operations was due to increases of $8 million in maintenance contracts and $7 million in payroll, partially offset by decreases of $7 million in operating leases and $5 million in other expenses.

Corporate expenses increased primarily due to increases of $24 million in corporate branding costs driven by the NBA China Games in October 2025 and $18 million in payroll and related expenses, partially offset by a $12 million charitable contribution commitment to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to establish the Sands Institute for Chinese Language and Culture in 2024 and

$10 million incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024, related to a shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government, which was finalized in February 2024 and covers the years 2023 to 2025.

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses were $16 million and $8 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily related to $11 million in property taxes related to the MBS Expansion Project at Marina Bay Sands and $6 million in marketing and media expenses for the Londoner Grand in Macao. Pre-opening expenses were $10 million and $4 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily related to $6 million in property taxes related to the MBS Expansion Project, as well as the new guest rooms at Marina Bay Sands, and $2 million in payroll expenses at the Londoner Grand in Macao.

Development expenses were $269 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $228 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the costs were associated with our evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, primarily $193 million for our digital gaming related efforts and $71 million for opportunities in New York and Texas. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the costs were primarily related to $157 million for our digital gaming related efforts and $65 million for opportunities in New York and Texas. Development costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization increased, primarily due to increases of $119 million and $36 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was primarily due to the completion of renovations that were placed into service throughout 2024 and 2025. The increase at our Macao operations was driven by $112 million in new assets placed into service throughout 2024 and 2025, mainly related to Phase II of The Londoner Macao project and the Venetian Arena, partially offset by a decrease of $81 million in depreciation due to assets fully depreciated during 2024 and throughout 2025, including Sheraton-related assets fully depreciated in connection with Phase II of The Londoner Macao project.

Loss on disposal or impairment of assets was $247 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. We had loss on impairments of $191 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The impairments were due to: (i) our decision to not pursue a casino license from the State of New York and the state’s subsequent granting of all available licenses in December 2025; (ii) not continuing the development of certain digital gaming activities; and (iii) certain activities associated with initiatives in Texas. In addition, loss on disposal of assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $56 million, primarily related to the write-off of $29 million in design costs for an expansion project at The Venetian Macao, $10 million in demolition and asset disposal costs related to renovations at the Londoner Macao and $6 million in asset disposals related to an aircraft remodel. Loss on disposal of assets incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to a $32 million loss at our Macao operations, including $24 million in demolition costs, primarily related to the upgrade of the Venetian Arena and Phase II of The Londoner Macao, a $9 million loss in Singapore, including $7 million in demolition costs related to room renovations at Marina Bay Sands, and a $9 million loss at corporate, primarily due to the sale of an aircraft.

expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of our operations with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies, including LVSC, have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including LVSC, have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments, share repurchases and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

a)During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $71 million and $78 million, respectively, of which $47 million and $51 million, respectively, was included in corporate expense in “Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Consolidated Statements of Operations.”

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations decreased $17 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. While revenues and our market share of gross gaming revenues in Macao increased, we incurred higher sales and marketing costs to attract patrons to our properties and increased payroll costs due to the competitive environment in Macao, resulting in an overall decrease in adjusted property EBITDA.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $870 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our casino operations, driven by overall increase in win and hold percentages and table games and slot volumes. Additionally, hotel operations increased, driven by the introduction of new suites, rooms and other amenities.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense:

Year Ended December 31,
20252024
(Dollars in millions)
Interest cost$757$741
Less — capitalized interest(11)(14)
Interest expense, net$746$727
Cash paid for interest$721$664
Weighted average total debt balance$15,396$14,165
Weighted average interest rate4.7%5.0%

Interest cost was primarily impacted by an increase in the weighted average total debt balance from $14.17 billion to $15.40 billion, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate from 5.0% to 4.7%. The weighted average total debt balance increased primarily due to the issuance of the LVSC senior notes in May 2025, and from the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility, which proceeds were used to repay the $500 million 2.900% LVSC Senior Notes due June 25, 2025 and to fund our share repurchases and the payment due to the Singapore government, pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, related to the Additional Gaming Area. The weighted average interest rate decreased primarily due to lower interest rates on the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility and the 2024 SCL Term Loan Facility, partially offset by higher rates on the LVSC senior notes issued in May 2025. We also recorded $30 million in imputed interest expense on the Macao Concession financial liability in 2025 and 2024 (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 8 —Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net”).

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Interest income was $161 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $275 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $114 million, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash available to invest due to share repurchases, dividend payments and development-related spend in the last twelve months. Additionally, interest income decreased $16 million due to a lower interest rate on the seller financing loan in connection with the sale of the Las Vegas real property and operations.

Other expense was $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to other income of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to foreign currency transaction losses related to the early redemption of the remaining balance of the 5.125% SCL Senior Notes due August 8, 2025 of $1.63 billion, foreign currency transaction losses driven by the U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by SCL and a debt investment impairment loss.

Our income tax expense was $347 million on income before income taxes of $2.21 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, resulting in a 15.7% effective income tax rate. This compares to a 10.6% effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024. The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate on our U.S. operations and a zero percent rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao. The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, reflects an income tax benefit of $57 million related to the reversal of the anticipated Macao shareholder dividend tax previously recorded due to the shareholder dividend tax agreement entered into with the Macao government in February 2024, which covered the years from 2023 through 2025.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $239 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $306 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These amounts were related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL. The decrease of $67 million was primarily due to a decrease in the net income of SCL for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the purchase of additional shares of SCL common stock by us during the year ended December 31, 2025, which resulted in our ownership of SCL having increased from 72.13% as of December 31, 2024 to 74.80% as of December 31, 2025.

(1)    Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.

(2)    Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. If the property also qualifies for Tourism Utility Status, the property tax exemption can be extended to twelve years with effect from the opening of the property. To date, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao have obtained an extended exemption. The exemption for The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao expired in August 2019 and August 2020, respectively, and the exemption for The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao will be expiring in December 2027 and September 2028, respectively.

(3)     Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for credit losses, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.

It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income (“NOI”) as a useful supplemental measure of a mall’s operating performance. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

In the table above, we believe taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis, while slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. Our rooms, food and beverage and other non-gaming revenues are conducted primarily on a cash basis and to a lesser extent as a trade receivable. Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income, accounts receivable, gaming related liabilities and interest payments. For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash generated from operations was $3.02 billion, a decrease of $181 million compared to $3.20 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash generated from operations was primarily related to the $848 million payment for MBS’ purchase of the Additional Gaming Area and a decrease in operating income from our Macao properties, partially offset by an increase in operating income from Marina Bay Sands and an increase in cash related to changes in working capital.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaled $1.17 billion. Included in this amount was $574 million for construction activities at Marina Bay Sands, primarily due to the room renovations completed across the property, $555 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted of $312 million for The Londoner Macao, primarily due to the Londoner Grand, $186 million for The Venetian Macao and $57 million for the other Macao properties, and $39 million for corporate and other costs. Additionally, in March 2025, we paid approximately $75 million to the Singapore Gambling Regulatory Authority as part of the process to renew our gaming license at Marina Bay Sands, which now expires in April 2028.

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled $1.57 billion. Included in this amount was $879 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted of $545 million for The Londoner Macao, $262 million for The Venetian Macao, $39 million for The Parisian Macao and $33 million for other Macao properties, $648 million for construction activities at Marina Bay Sands, primarily due to the room renovations completed across the property, and $40 million for corporate and other costs.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $1.64 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025. We utilized $2.22 billion for common stock repurchases, $833 million for dividend and noncontrolling interest payments, $483 million to purchase SCL shares through forward contracts and open market transactions, and $201 million for deferred offering costs for the refinancing of the 2025 LVSC Senior Notes and the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility, and the draw down on the 2024 SCL Term Loan Facility. Additionally, there were net proceeds of debt of $1.86 billion, primarily related to proceeds received from the issuance of the 2025 LVSC Senior Notes and the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility, and $264 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options. Lastly, we paid $35 million in other financial liability payments.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $3.06 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. We utilized $1.75 billion for common stock repurchases and $590 million for dividend payments related to our stockholder return of capital program, funded $250 million to purchase common stock of SCL to increase our equity ownership in SCL and funded our capped call contracts for $48 million, net of cash premiums received. There were net repayments of debt of $326 million primarily related to the repurchase of $175 million of SCL senior notes for $174 million and $139 million of repayments on the 2012 Singapore Term Facility. Lastly, we paid $60 million in deferred offering costs, primarily related to the 2024 SCL Credit Facility and the issuance of new LVSC senior notes, and $32 million in other financial liability payments.

Capital Financing Overview

We fund our development projects primarily through operating cash flows and borrowings from our debt instruments (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 11 — Debt”).

In February 2025, MBS entered into a new facility agreement, the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility, which provides for an SGD 3.75 billion (approximately $2.92 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025) term loan (the “2025 Singapore Term Loan Facility”) and makes available an SGD 750 million (approximately $584 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025) revolving credit facility (the “2025 Singapore Revolving Facility”) and an SGD 7.50 billion (approximately $5.84 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025) term loan facility (the “2025 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”). Additionally, in February 2025, MBS drew down the full amount of the 2025 Singapore Term Loan Facility and SGD 62 million (approximately $46 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) from the 2025 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and used the proceeds to pay amounts outstanding under the 2012 Singapore Credit Facility. MBS may draw under the 2025 Singapore Revolving Facility to refinance outstanding indebtedness, pay certain fees, expenses and accrued interest, make dividend payments and for general corporate purposes. The proceeds from the 2025 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility may be used to finance development and construction costs, expenses, fees and other payments related to the MBS Expansion Project. In connection with entering into the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility, the commitments under MBS’s amended and restated credit facility agreement, the 2012 Singapore Credit Facility, were terminated. Refer to “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 11 — Debt” for further details.

In April 2025, MBS drew down an additional SGD 1.13 billion (approximately $848 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the payment) from the 2025 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility to fund the payment due to the Singapore government, pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, related to the Additional Gaming Area.

In May 2025, in an underwritten public offering, we issued two series of senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.50 billion (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 11 — Debt”). The net proceeds from the offering were used to redeem in full the outstanding principal under the $500 million 2.900% LVSC Senior Notes due June 25, 2025 and any accrued interest, and to pay transaction-related fees and expenses. The remaining proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases.

In June 2025, we drew down HKD 12.75 billion (approximately $1.64 billion at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) under the 2024 SCL Term Loan Facility, the proceeds from which, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem in full the outstanding principal amount of $1.63 billion of the 5.125% SCL Senior Notes due August 8, 2025. Subsequently, in January 2026, we drew down HKD 6.20 billion (approximately $797 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) under the 2024 SCL Revolving Facility, the proceeds from which, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem the $800 million 3.800% SCL Senior Notes due January 8, 2026.

Our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants, which include maintaining a maximum leverage ratio, as defined per the respective facility agreements. As of December 31, 2025, our U.S., SCL and Singapore leverage ratios, as defined per the respective credit facility agreements, were 1.34x, 3.38x and 1.37x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 4.00x, 4.00x and 4.50x, respectively. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, we would be in default under the respective credit facilities.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.84 billion and restricted cash of $125 million as of December 31, 2025, of which approximately $2.45 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.45 billion, approximately $2.07 billion is available to be repatriated, either in the form of dividends or via intercompany loans or advances, to the U.S., subject to levels of earnings, cash flow generated from gaming operations and various other factors, including dividend requirements to third-party public stockholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL, compliance with certain local statutes, laws and regulations currently applicable to our subsidiaries and restrictions in connection with their contractual arrangements. We do not expect withholding taxes or other foreign income taxes to apply should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise.

We believe we have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.84 billion and cash flow generated from operations, as well as $3.67 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., SCL and Singapore revolving credit facilities as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We believe we are well positioned to support our operations, maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities, debt obligations and dividend commitments, as well as meet our commitments under the Macao Concession. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate global capital markets to consider future opportunities for enhancements of our capital structure.

Dividends

On February 19, May 14, August 13 and November 12, 2025, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program and, for the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded $695 million as a distribution against retained earnings. Our Board of Directors announced a $0.20 increase in our recurring common stock dividend for the 2026 calendar year, raising the annual dividend to $1.20 per share ($0.30 per share per quarter). In January 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $202 million) to be paid on February 18, 2026, to stockholders of record on February 9, 2026. We expect this level of dividend to continue quarterly through the remainder of 2026. Our Board of Directors will continue to assess the level of appropriateness of any cash dividends.

On June 20 and September 12, 2025, SCL paid a dividend of HKD 0.25 per share to SCL shareholders (a total of $518 million, of which we retained $380 million during the year ended December 31, 2025).

Purchase of Noncontrolling Interest

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, Venetian Venture Development Intermediate II (“VVDI II”), entered into numerous share purchase agreements with financial institutions (the “Agents”) for the purchase of the common stock of SCL (the “SCL Purchase Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the SCL Purchase Agreements, VVDI II made up-front payments to the Agents totaling HKD 2.85 billion (approximately $365 million at exchange rates as of the date of the transactions) during 2025.

The SCL Purchase Agreements allowed for the delivery of shares on a daily basis. As of December 31, 2025, 172 million shares in total of SCL common stock were delivered to us.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we purchased the common stock of SCL in open market transactions, which resulted in the purchase of 45 million shares of SCL common stock for HKD 912 million (approximately $117 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions).

The total additional SCL shares purchased related to these transactions resulted in an increase of our ownership of SCL to approximately 74.80% as of December 31, 2025.

Share Repurchase Program

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized increasing the remaining share repurchase amount to $2.0 billion and extending its expiration date to November 3, 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased 48 million shares of our common stock for $2.27 billion (including $1 million in commissions and $18 million in excise tax) under our current program. All share repurchases of our common stock have been recorded as treasury stock.

50

Table of Contents

We have approximately $1.56 billion remaining under our authorized share repurchase program. Repurchases of our common stock are made at our discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise, including pursuant to plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or block trades, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our financial position, earnings, cash flows, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions.

_______________________

(1)As of December 31, 2025, we had a $117 million liability related to uncertain tax positions. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the liability in individual years due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions; therefore, such amounts are not included in the table.

(2)See “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 11 — Debt” for further details on these financing transactions and “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 15 — Leases” for further details on finance leases.

(3)In January 2026, the outstanding SCL senior notes of $800 million due in January 2026 were paid off with proceeds from the 2024 SCL Revolving Facility and cash on hand.

(4)Based on the 1-month rate as of December 31, 2025, Hong Kong Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“HIBOR”) of 3.08% and Singapore Overnight Rate Average (“SORA”) of 0.89% plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements.

(5)In addition to the amounts listed in the table above, under the Macao Concession, we have committed to spend 35.84 billion patacas (approximately $4.47 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025) through 2032 on both capital and operating projects, including 33.39 billion patacas (approximately $4.17 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025) in non-gaming projects. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we spent a total of approximately 5.80 billion patacas (approximately $723 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025) on these projects. The annual amounts were reviewed and confirmed as qualified spend under the Concession by the Macao government following audits conducted in May 2025 and July 2024, with results issued in November 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Macao government conducts an annual audit to confirm qualified concession investments for the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company spent approximately 2.52 billion patacas (approximately $315 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31,

51

Table of Contents

2025); however, as of the date of this filing, the audit process for the 2025 investments has not yet commenced and the ultimate amount confirmed as qualified spend under the Concession may differ from the amount reported above based on the results of the audit.

We are also required to pay a 35% gross gaming revenue special gaming tax and a 5% gross gaming revenue contribution in Macao, which amounts we pay are variable in nature. Under the Concession, however, we are obligated to pay a special annual gaming premium if the average of the gross gaming revenues of our gaming tables and our electrical or mechanical gaming machines, including slot machines, is lower than a certain minimum amount determined by the Macao government; such special premium being the difference between the gaming tax based on the actual gross gaming revenues and that of the specified minimum amount. Based on the maximum number of gaming tables and gaming machines we are currently authorized to operate, if the monthly special gaming taxes paid during the year aggregates to less than 4.50 billion patacas (approximately $562 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025), we would be required to pay the difference as the special annual gaming premium.

(6)We are required to pay an annual premium with a fixed portion and a variable portion, which is based on the number and type of gaming tables and gaming machines we operate. Based on the gaming tables and gaming machines (which is at the maximum number of tables and machines currently allowed by the Macao government) in operation and the mix of type of gaming tables as of December 31, 2025, the annual premium payable to the Macao government is approximately $40 million for the years ending December 31, 2026 through December 31, 2030, respectively, and $80 million in aggregate thereafter through the termination of the Concession in December 2032.

(7)Under the Handover Record, we are required to make annual payments of 2,500 patacas (approximately $312 at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2025) per square meter for the following seven years. Beginning in 2027, the annual payment will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year.

(8)We are party to certain operating leases for real estate, which primarily include $280 million related to long-term land leases in Macao with an anticipated lease term of 50 years, $15 million related to a long-term land lease in Las Vegas with a 40-year lease term and $11 million related to office space in Singapore with a 5-year lease term. See “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 15 — Leases” for further details on operating leases.

(9)Mall deposits consist of refundable security deposits received from mall tenants.

(10)Primarily consists of all other non-cancellable contractual obligations and primarily relates to certain hotel management and service agreements, as described below. The amounts exclude open purchase orders with our suppliers that have not yet been received as these agreements generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust terms based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services.

Some of our hotel properties operate pursuant to management agreements with various experienced third-party hotel operators (management companies), whereby the management company controls the day-to-day operations of each of these hotels, and we are granted limited approval rights with respect to certain of the management company’s actions. The non-cancelable periods of our management agreements range from 14 to 40 years with various extension provisions and some with early termination options. Each management company receives a base management fee, generally a percentage of revenue as defined. There are also monthly fees for certain support services and some also include incentive fees based on attaining certain financial thresholds. Additionally, we have a franchise agreement granting us the right to operate the Londoner Grand as a franchisee under Marriott International’s “Luxury Collection Hotel” brand, which primarily consists of a fixed and variable franchise fee. The non-cancelable period for the franchise agreement is 15 years.

The Company’s non-cancelable contractual obligations also include agreements with certain celebrities and professional sports leagues and teams for the hosting of events, advertising, marketing, promotional and sponsorship opportunities in order to promote the Company’s brand and services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities, nor have we engaged in any derivative transactions other than foreign currency swaps and net investment hedges. Refer to “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Derivative Instruments” for outstanding foreign currency swaps and net investment hedges as of December 31, 2025.

Restrictions on Distributions

We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and ownership interests of our subsidiaries. Certain of our debt instruments contain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell certain of our assets without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.

Under the Concession, although not a restriction, we have to provide a five-day prior notification to the Macao government for any major financial decisions exceeding 10% of the share capital of VML.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates, and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We believe the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Provision for Expected Credit Losses

We maintain a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluate the balances. We apply standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. We also specifically analyze the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer’s financial condition, collection history and any other known information and adjust the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. We also monitor regional and global economic conditions and forecasts in our evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves.

Account balances are written off against the provision when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Credit or marker play was 9.4% and 12.3% of table games play at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2025. Our provision for casino credit losses was 26.4% and 39.0% of gross casino receivables as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our provision for credit losses from our hotel and other receivables was not material.

Litigation Accrual

We are subject to various claims and legal actions. We estimate the accruals for these claims and legal actions based on all relevant facts and circumstances currently available and include such accruals in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets when it is determined such contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Property and Equipment

As of December 31, 2025, we had net property and equipment of $11.67 billion, representing 53.3% of our total assets. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations, such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. The estimated useful lives of assets are periodically reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a prospective basis.

For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we first group our assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

To estimate the undiscounted cash flows of our asset groups, we consider all potential cash flows scenarios, which are probability weighted based on management’s estimates given current conditions. Determining the recoverability of our asset groups is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimated cash flows, probability weighting of potential scenarios, costs to complete construction for assets under development, growth rates and future market conditions, among others. Future changes to our estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic factors, regulatory environments, operating results or management’s intentions may result in future changes to the recoverability of our asset groups.

Gaming Assets under the Macao Concession

As we continue to operate the Gaming Assets, as defined in “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 6 — Property and Equipment, Net,” in the same manner as under the previous subconcession, obtain substantially all of the economic benefits and bear all of the risks arising from the use of these assets, as well as assume VML will be successful in being awarded a new concession upon expiry of the current concession, we continue to recognize these Gaming Assets as property and equipment over their remaining estimated useful lives.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We record income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

Table of Contents

Our foreign and U.S. tax rate differential reflects the fact that U.S. tax rates are higher than the statutory tax rates in Singapore and Macao of 17% and 12%, respectively. In February 2024, we received an exemption from Macao’s corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games of chance for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027.

Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if it is “more-likely-than-not” such assets will not be realized based on the available evidence. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a “more-likely-than-not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring and tax planning strategies.

We recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions of $242 million and $314 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards, interest expense carryforward, and other U.S. deferred tax assets of $1.69 billion and $2.46 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets at each reporting period and consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies. To the extent the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to reduce the valuation allowance in the period such determination is made, as appropriate.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provide a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is “more-likely-than-not” the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits of being sustained on examination. We recorded unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties of $157 million and $148 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and for which actual outcomes may be different.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao, and Singapore. We could be subject to examination for tax years beginning in 2021 in Macao and Singapore and tax years 2010 through 2015 and 2020 through 2024 in the U.S.

Certain statements in this “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We view each of our Integrated Resorts as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands.

During 2024, we achieved milestones in advancing several of our strategic objectives. We continued work on Phase II of The Londoner Macao, which primarily includes the renovation of the rooms in the Sheraton towers, an upgrade of the gaming areas and the addition of attractions, dining, retail and entertainment offerings. The Londoner Grand casino opened on September 26, 2024. The Sheraton Grand Macao is being converted into the Londoner Grand hotel, which upon completion will have 2,405 rooms and suites and represents Macao’s first Marriott International Luxury Collection hotel. Phase II of The Londoner Macao is expected to be substantially completed during the first half of 2025. We completed the renovations of Tower 1 and Tower 2 and introduced world-class suites and other luxury amenities at Marina Bay Sands. We continue with the renovation of the Tower 3 hotel rooms into world class suites, which is expected to be completed in phases during the first half of 2025, and other property changes.

Macao

From 2020 through the beginning of 2023, our operations in Macao were negatively impacted by the reduction in travel and tourism related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Macao government's policy regarding the management of COVID-19 and general travel restrictions was relaxed in late December 2022 and early January 2023. Since then, visitation to our Macao Integrated Resorts and operations has improved.

The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao increased approximately 28.6% during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue increased approximately 23.9% during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Singapore

Our operations in Singapore continued to be positive as travel and tourism spending increased, resulting from the elimination of all remaining COVID-19 border measures in February 2023. Airlift passenger movement has increased with a total of 68 million passengers having passed through Singapore's Changi Airport during the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 14.8% compared to the same period in 2023.

Visitation to Marina Bay Sands continues to improve since the travel restrictions have been lifted. The STB announced total visitation to Singapore increased from approximately 13.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 to 16.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Summary

We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.65 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $2.51 billion and $433 million of available borrowing capacity from our 2024 LVSC Revolving Facility, 2024 SCL Revolving Facility and 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. We believe we are able to support our continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and maintain our share repurchase and dividend programs to continue to return excess capital to stockholders.

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by the volume of gaming patrons who visit the property on a daily basis.

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

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip table games are expected to produce a win percentage of 3.30% in Macao and Singapore. Actual win and hold percentages may vary from our expected win percentage and historical win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 9.5% and 10.8%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate (“ADR,” a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements (such as government mandated closure, lodging for team members and usage by the Macao government for quarantine measures). The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be re-sold to walk-in guests.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area (“GLOA”) divided by gross leasable area (“GLA”) at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge, excluding rent concessions, in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023

Summary Financial Results

We continued to see positive financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to increased visitation at our Integrated Resorts. Macao visitation from mainland China increased 28.6% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to a more supportive travel environment that included further recovery in scheduled airline capacity to Macao Airport and other airports that serve the Macao market, more frequent ferry services to Macao from locations, such as Hong Kong, and increases in flexibility and availability of certain visa types. Due to the elimination of all remaining COVID-19 border measures in February 2023 and airlift passenger movement increasing 14.8% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, Singapore visitation increased 21.4% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

In our experience, average win percentages remain fairly consistent when measured over extended periods of time with a significant volume of wagers, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Room revenues increased $70 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to increases of $57 million and $13 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. Marina Bay Sands room revenues increased due to an increase in ADR, partially offset by a decrease in available rooms and decreased occupancy. Macao room revenues increased due to increases in occupancy rates and ADR, partially offset by decreased available rooms in connection with the conversion of the Sheraton towers to the Londoner Grand.

(1)During the year ended December 31, 2024, a daily average of approximately 1,850 rooms were excluded from available rooms in connection with the renovations related to the conversion of the Sheraton towers to the Londoner Grand in connection with Phase II of The Londoner Macao.

(2)During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 1,800 and 2,100 rooms, respectively, were available for occupancy.

Food and beverage revenues increased $23 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to increases of $20 million and $3 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The increase at our Macao operations was primarily driven by increased visitation across our properties and new food and beverage outlets. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was primarily due to increased banquet revenue and new food and beverage outlets.

Mall revenues decreased $12 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to a $20 million decrease at our Macao operations, driven by a decrease in overage rent, which was partially offset by an $8 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by an increase in base rent.

Convention, retail, and other revenues increased $64 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to increases of $36 million and $28 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was driven by increases of $15 million in convention revenue, $6 million at the SkyPark, $4 million in museum revenue and $3 million in entertainment revenue, as well as an $8 million nonrecurring adjustment related to a change in accounting estimate of our non-gaming club points accrual. The increase at our Macao operations was driven by $14 million in ferry operations due to increased sailings resulting from increased visitation, $13 million in entertainment revenue and $1 million in convention revenue.

Total operating expenses$8,896$8,05910.4%

Operating expenses were $8.90 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $837 million compared to $8.06 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by increases of $459 million in casino expenses, $100 million in depreciation and amortization, and $60 million in corporate expenses.

Casino expenses increased $459 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $283 million and $99 million in gaming taxes at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, consistent with increased casino revenues across our properties, a 1% increase in goods and services tax as of January 1, 2024, and an increased tax rate from 8% to 12% on premium play during November and December 2024 due to the tiered tax structure in Singapore.

Room expenses increased $30 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was due to increases of $18 million and $12 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, driven by higher costs associated with new and elevated rooms introduced at Marina Bay Sands throughout 2023 and 2024 and increased occupancy in Macao.

Food and beverage expenses increased $31 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was due to increases of $24 million and $7 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, driven by increased business volume at food outlets and banquets and consistent with increased property visitation.

Convention, retail and other expenses increased $53 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to increases of $40 million and $13 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The increase at our Macao operations was primarily due to increases of $17 million in entertainment due to increased event volume, $15 million in ferry operations due to higher repairs and maintenance, contract labor costs and fuel costs driven by additional sailings resulting from increased visitation, and $8 million in other operating expenses (e.g., limo, exhibits, spa). The increase at Marina Bay Sands was driven by increases of $3 million in entertainment, $3 million in convention and $7 million in other operating expenses (e.g., limo, ArtScience Museum).

The provision for credit losses was $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The $15 million increase was primarily driven by increases of $13 million and $2 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The increase at our Macao operations was due to an $18 million decrease in collections on previously reserved accounts, partially offset by a $5 million decrease in the provision for the current year. The increase at Marina Bay Sands was due to a $26 million increase in provision for the current year, partially offset by a $24 million increase in collections on previously reserved accounts. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the patrons who owe us money from gaming activities. We believe the amount of our provision for credit losses in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased $43 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $27 million and $16 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, driven by increases in payroll, marketing expenses and facility and utilities costs.

Corporate expenses increased $60 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to $22 million related to the shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government ($10 million of which related to the year ended December 31, 2023), which agreement was finalized on February 7, 2024, and covers the years from 2023 to 2025, a $20 million increase in payroll and a $12 million charitable contribution commitment to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to establish the Sands Institute for Chinese Language and Culture.

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily related to the Londoner Grand, the MBS Expansion Project and new guest rooms at Marina Bay Sands. Pre-opening expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily related to the grand opening of The Londoner Macao and new guest rooms at Marina Bay Sands.

Development expenses were $228 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $205 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the costs were associated with our evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, primarily $157 million for our digital gaming related efforts and $65 million in New York and Texas. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the costs were primarily related to $109 million for our digital gaming related efforts and $93 million in New York and Texas. Development costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization increased $100 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $151 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, as a result of the completion of renovations that were placed into service throughout 2023 and 2024. This increase was partially offset by a $55 million decrease at our Macao operations primarily due to assets fully depreciated during the prior year and throughout 2024 and a reduction in accelerated depreciation in 2024 primarily related to the Sheraton towers and Venetian Arena, partially offset by an increase in depreciation for assets placed into service during the current year.

Loss on disposal or impairment of assets was $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024, were primarily due to a $32 million loss at our Macao operations, including $24 million in demolition costs, primarily related to the upgrade of the Venetian Arena and Phase II of The Londoner Macao, a $9 million loss in Singapore, including $7 million in demolition costs related to room renovations at Marina Bay Sands, and a $9 million loss at corporate, primarily due to the sale of an aircraft. The losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $14 million at Marina Bay Sands primarily due to demolition costs related to renovations and $12 million in disposals and demolition costs at our Macao operations.

_________________________

(1)Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is net income (loss) before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of our operations with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies, including LVSC, have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial

measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including LVSC, have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

a)During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $78 million and $72 million, respectively, of which $51 million and $43 million, respectively, was included in corporate expense in “Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Consolidated Statements of Operations.”

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $103 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues across our operations driven by increased visitation at our Integrated Resorts in Macao.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $191 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues across our operations driven by increased visitation, as well as new and elevated suites and rooms and other amenities introduced at Marina Bay Sands.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense:

Year Ended December 31,
20242023
(Dollars in millions)
Interest cost$741$825
Less — capitalized interest(14)(7)
Interest expense, net$727$818
Cash paid for interest$664$753
Weighted average total debt balance$14,165$15,188
Weighted average interest rate5.0%5.2%

Interest cost decreased $84 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in both our weighted average total debt balance and weighted average interest rate. The weighted average total debt balance decreased primarily due to the repayment of $1.95 billion on the 2018 SCL Revolving Facility by October 2023 and repurchases totaling $175 million of the $1.80 billion 5.125% Senior Notes during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The weighted average interest rate decreased primarily due to lower

45

Table of Contents

interest rates on the SCL Senior Notes in connection with the credit rating upgrades for the Company and SCL to BBB- by S&P on July 26, 2023 and Fitch on February 1, 2024, and a decrease in the interest rates on our Singapore Credit Facility. The decrease was partially offset by higher rates on the LVSC Senior Notes issued on May 16, 2024, to refinance the $1.75 billion 3.200% Senior Notes. We also recorded $30 million in imputed interest expense on the VML Concession financial liability in 2024 and 2023 (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 9 —Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net”).

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Interest income was $275 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $288 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily consisted of $200 million in interest income on money market funds, bank deposits and U.S. Treasury bills. The decrease compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash available to invest in the U.S. due to share repurchases, dividends and development-related spend in the last twelve months. The decrease was partially offset by a $41 million increase due to an increased paid-in-kind interest rate on the seller financing loan in connection with the sale of the Las Vegas real property and operations.

Other income was $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to other expense of $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to foreign currency transaction gains driven by the U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by SCL and MBS, partially offset by an equity investment impairment loss.

Our income tax expense was $208 million on income before income taxes of $1.96 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in a 10.6% effective income tax rate. This compares to a 19.4% effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023. The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate on our U.S. operations, and a zero percent rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao.

On February 5, 2024, the Macao government provided notice that VML and the other concessionaires received an exemption from Macao’s corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games of chance for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027. Additionally, we entered into a shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government in February 2024, effective from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025, providing an annual payment as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits. For the year ended December 31, 2023, income tax expense included an anticipated $57 million shareholder dividend tax based on the information available at the balance sheet date. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company reversed the $57 million of income tax expense and recorded $10 million to corporate expense related to the year ended December 31, 2023, to reflect the terms of the new shareholder dividend tax agreement.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $306 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $210 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. These amounts were related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Note:    This table excludes the results of our mall operations at Sands Macao.

(1)    Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.

(2)    Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. If the property also qualifies for Tourism Utility Status, the property tax exemption can be extended to twelve years with effect from the opening of the property. To date, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao have obtained an extended exemption. The exemption for The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao expired in August 2019 and August 2020, respectively, and the exemption for The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao will be expiring in December 2027 and September 2028, respectively.

(3)     Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for credit losses, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.

It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income (“NOI”) as a useful supplemental measure of a mall's operating performance. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

In the table above, we believe taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis, while slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. Our rooms, food and beverage and other non-gaming revenues are conducted primarily on a cash basis and to a lesser extent as a trade receivable. Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income, accounts receivable, gaming related liabilities and interest payments. For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash generated from operations was $3.20 billion, a decrease of $23 million compared to $3.23 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash generated from operations was primarily due to decreases in cash related to changes in working capital, primarily from decreases in accruals from our gaming operations, partially offset by an increase in net income.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled $1.57 billion. Included in this amount was $879 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted of $545 million for The Londoner Macao, $262 million for The Venetian Macao, $39 million for The Parisian Macao, $16 million for Sands Macao, $14 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao and $3 million for ferry operations and other, and $648 million for construction activities at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, primarily due to the room renovations being completed across the property. Additionally, we funded $40 million for corporate and other costs.

Additionally, we funded $200 million for corporate and other.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $3.06 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. We utilized $1.75 billion for common stock repurchases and $590 million for dividend payments related to our stockholder return of capital program, funded $250 million to purchase common stock of SCL to increase our equity ownership in SCL and funded our capped call contracts for $48 million, net of cash premiums received. There were net repayments of debt of $326 million primarily related to the repurchase of $175 million of SCL Senior Notes for $174 million and $139 million of repayments on the 2012 Singapore Term Facility. Lastly, we paid $60 million in deferred offering costs, primarily related to the 2024 SCL Credit Facility and the issuance of the new LVSC Senior Notes, and $32 million in other financial liability payments.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $3.19 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were $2.07 billion in repayments on debt, primarily related to the repayment on the 2018 SCL Revolving Facility of $1.95 billion. We also utilized $505 million for common stock repurchases and $305 million for dividend payments related to our stockholder return of capital program, and funded $250 million to purchase common stock of SCL to increase our equity ownership in SCL. Lastly, we paid $32 million in deferred offering costs, primarily related to the amendment and restatement of the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, and $29 million in other financial liability payments

As of December 31, 2024, we had $4.44 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore revolving facilities, net of letters of credit.

Capital Financing Overview

We fund our development projects primarily through operating cash flows and borrowings from our debt instruments (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Debt”).

On April 3, 2024, LVSC entered into a revolving credit agreement with the arrangers and lenders named therein and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent for the lenders (the “2024 LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the lenders provided unsecured, revolving credit commitments to LVSC in an aggregate principal amount of $1.50 billion (the “2024 LVSC Revolving Facility”), which are available until April 3, 2029, and include a $150 million sub-facility for letters of credit. LVSC may utilize the proceeds of the loans for general corporate purposes and working capital requirements of LVSC and its subsidiaries and any other purpose not prohibited by the 2024 LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement. Upon entering into the 2024 LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement, the existing LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated. The terms and conditions under the 2024 LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement are similar to those under the LVSC Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to “Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Debt” for further details.

On May 16, 2024, we issued, in an underwritten public offering, three series of senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion (see “Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Debt”). The net proceeds from the offering and cash on hand were used to repay in full the outstanding borrowings under the $1.75 billion 3.200% Senior Notes, resulting in a loss on early retirement of debt of $1 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, SCL repurchased $175 million of the outstanding principal amount of the $1.80 billion 5.125% Senior Notes, resulting in a gain on early retirement of debt of approximately $1 million. As of December 31, 2024, the $1.80 billion 5.125% Senior Notes had a remaining aggregate principal amount of $1.63 billion.

On October 23, 2024, SCL entered into a new facility agreement (the “2024 SCL Credit Facility”) with the arrangers and lenders named therein and Bank of China Limited, Macau Branch, as agent for the lenders. In connection with the entry into the 2024 SCL Credit Facility, the commitments under SCL’s existing 2018 SCL Credit Facility terminated.

The 2024 SCL Credit Facility provides for a 19.50 billion Hong Kong dollars (“HKD,” approximately $2.51 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2024) unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2024 SCL Revolving Facility”). SCL may draw revolving loans under the 2024 SCL Revolving Facility from time to time until September 24, 2029 (or if that day is not a business day in Hong Kong or Macao, the next business day), for general corporate and working capital requirements of SCL and its subsidiaries, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the 2024 SCL Credit Facility. The final maturity date of all loans drawn under the 2024 SCL Revolving Facility is October 23, 2029.

49

Table of Contents

The 2024 SCL Credit Facility also makes available an HKD 12.95 billion (approximately $1.67 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2024) unsecured term loan facility (the “2024 SCL Term Loan Facility”). SCL may make a drawdown under the 2024 SCL Term Loan Facility at any time until August 31, 2025, for the purpose of repaying amounts outstanding under its unsecured $1.80 billion 5.125% Senior Notes. The final maturity date of such loan drawn under the 2024 SCL Term Loan Facility is the date falling on the fifth anniversary of the date on which such loan is drawn. Refer to “Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Debt” for further details.

Our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants, which include maintaining a maximum leverage ratio, as defined per the respective facility agreements. As of December 31, 2024, our U.S., SCL and Singapore leverage ratios, as defined per the respective credit facility agreements, were 2.51x, 3.22x and 1.49x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 4.00x, 4.00x and 4.50x, respectively. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, we would be in default under the respective credit facilities.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.65 billion and restricted cash of $125 million as of December 31, 2024, of which approximately $2.69 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.69 billion, approximately $2.14 billion is available to be repatriated, either in the form of dividends or via intercompany loans or advances, to the U.S., subject to levels of earnings, cash flow generated from gaming operations and various other factors, including dividend requirements to third-party public stockholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL, compliance with certain local statutes, laws and regulations currently applicable to our subsidiaries and restrictions in connection with their contractual arrangements. We do not expect withholding taxes or other foreign income taxes to apply should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise.

We believe we have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.65 billion and cash flow generated from operations, as well as $4.44 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., SCL and Singapore revolving credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit.

We believe we are well positioned to support our operations, maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities, debt obligations and dividend commitments, as well as meet our commitments under the Macao Concession. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate global capital markets to consider future opportunities for enhancements of our capital structure.

On February 14, May 15, August 14 and November 13, 2024, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program and, for the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $591 million as a distribution against retained earnings. In January 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $179 million) to be paid on February 19, 2025, to stockholders of record on February 10, 2025. We expect this level of dividend to continue quarterly through the remainder of 2025. Our Board of Directors will continue to assess the level of appropriateness of any cash dividends.

On September 9, October 30 and December 4, 2024, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Venetian Venture Development II (“VVDI II”), entered into various agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”) with financial institutions (the “Dealers/Agents”) relating to the purchase of the common stock of SCL (the “Purchase Transactions”), in which VVDI II in each transaction made upfront payments of HKD 800 million (approximately $103 million at exchange rates as of the date of the transaction). All purchases under the Purchase Transactions were completed by October 22, 2024, November 26, 2024 and January 7, 2025, respectively. The Dealers/Agents delivered approximately 23 million, 41 million and 39 million shares, respectively, of SCL common stock to us, representing an average price of HKD 14.64, HKD 19.72 and HKD 20.68 per share, respectively. The additional shares resulted in an increase of our ownership of SCL to approximately 72.29% as of January 7, 2025. Under the Purchase Transaction entered into on September 9, 2024, the Cap Amount (as defined in the agreement) was reached during the term of the agreement and as a result approximately $59 million was returned to VVDI II in the form of cash.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 22, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized increasing the remaining share repurchase amount from $195 million to $2.0 billion and extending the share repurchase program’s expiration date to November 3, 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 37,552,614 shares of our common stock for $1.77 billion (including $1 million in commissions and $17 million in excise tax) under our current program. All share repurchases of our common stock have been recorded as treasury stock.

We have approximately $1.55 billion remaining under our authorized share repurchase program. Repurchases of our common stock are made at our discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our financial position, earnings, cash flows, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions.

_______________________

(1)As of December 31, 2024, we had a $110 million liability related to uncertain tax positions. We do not expect this liability to result in a payment of cash within the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the liability in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions; therefore, such amounts are not included in the table.

(2)See “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Debt” for further details on these financing transactions and “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 16 — Leases” for further details on finance leases.

(3)Other consists of finance leases, including imputed interest, and other financed purchased obligations, including the related interest.

(4)Based on the 1-month rate as of December 31, 2024, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) of 4.49%, Hong Kong Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“HIBOR”) of 4.58% and Singapore Overnight Rate Average (“SORA”) of 2.11%, plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements.

(5)In addition to the amounts listed in the table above, under the Macao Concession, we have committed to spend 35.80 billion patacas (approximately $4.48 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2024) through 2032 on both capital and operating projects, including 33.36 billion patacas (approximately $4.17 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2024) in non-gaming projects. For the year ending December 31, 2023, we spent approximately $168 million on these projects. This amount was reviewed and confirmed as qualified spend under the Concession by the Macao government following an audit conducted in July 2024, with results issued in November 2024. The Macao government conducts an annual audit to confirm qualified concession investments for the prior year. As of the date of this filing, the audit process for 2024 investments has not yet commenced.

We are also required to pay a 35% gross gaming revenue special gaming tax and a 5% gross gaming revenue contribution in Macao, which amounts we pay are variable in nature. Under the Concession, however, we are obligated to pay a special annual gaming premium if the average of the gross gaming revenues of our gaming tables and our electrical or mechanical gaming machines, including slot machines, is lower than a certain minimum amount determined by the Macao government; such special premium being the difference between the gaming tax based on the actual gross gaming revenues and that of the specified minimum amount. Based on the maximum number of gaming tables and gaming machines we are currently authorized to operate, if the monthly special gaming taxes paid during the year aggregates to less than 4.50 billion patacas (approximately $563 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2024), we would be required to pay the difference as the special annual gaming premium.

(6)We are required to pay an annual premium with a fixed portion and a variable portion, which is based on the number and type of gaming tables and gaming machines we operate. Based on the gaming tables and gaming machines (which is at the maximum number of tables and machines currently allowed by the Macao government) in operation and the mix of type of gaming tables as of December 31, 2024, the annual premium payable to the

Macao government is approximately $41 million for the years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2029, respectively, and $122 million in aggregate thereafter through the termination of the Concession in December 2032.

(7)Under the Handover Record, we are required to make annual payments of 750 patacas per square meter for the first three years and 2,500 patacas per square meter for the following seven years (approximately $94 and $313, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2024). The annual payment of 750 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years two and three and the annual payment of 2,500 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years five through ten.

(8)We are party to certain operating leases for real estate, which primarily include $285 million related to long-term land leases in Macao with an anticipated lease term of 50 years, $15 million related to a long-term land lease in Las Vegas with a 40-year lease term, and $15 million related to office space in Singapore with a 5-year lease term. See “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 16 — Leases” for further details on operating leases.

(9)Mall deposits consist of refundable security deposits received from mall tenants.

(10)Primarily consists of all other non-cancellable contractual obligations and primarily relates to certain hotel management and service agreements, as described below. The amounts exclude open purchase orders with our suppliers that have not yet been received as these agreements generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust terms based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services.

Some of our hotel properties operate pursuant to management agreements with various experienced third-party hotel operators (management companies), whereby the management company controls the day-to-day operations of each of these hotels, and we are granted limited approval rights with respect to certain of the management company’s actions. The non-cancelable period of our management agreements ranges from 14 to 40 years with various extension provisions and some with early termination options. Each management company receives a base management fee, generally a percentage of revenue as defined. There are also monthly fees for certain support services and some also include incentive fees based on attaining certain financial thresholds. Additionally, we have a franchise agreement granting us the right to operate the Londoner Grand as a franchisee under Marriott International’s “Luxury Collection Hotel” brand, which primarily consists of a fixed and variable franchise fee. The non-cancelable period for the franchise agreement is 15 years.

The Company's non-cancelable contractual obligations also include agreements with certain celebrities and professional sports leagues and teams for the hosting of events, advertising, marketing, promotional and sponsorship opportunities in order to promote the Company’s brand and services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities, nor have we engaged in any derivative transactions other than foreign currency swaps. Refer to “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 11 — Derivative Instruments” for outstanding foreign currency swaps as of December 31, 2024.

Restrictions on Distributions

We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and ownership interests of our subsidiaries. Certain of our debt instruments contain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell certain of our assets without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.

Under the Concession, although not a restriction, we have to provide a five-day prior notification to the Macao government for any major financial decisions exceeding 10% of the share capital of VML.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates, and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We believe the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Provision for Expected Credit Losses

We maintain a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluate the balances. We apply standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. We also specifically analyze the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer's financial condition, collection history and any other

54

Table of Contents

known information and adjust the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. We also monitor regional and global economic conditions and forecasts in our evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves.

Account balances are written off against the provision when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Credit or marker play was 9.5% and 10.8% of table games play at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024. Our provision for casino credit losses was 39.0% and 40.2% of gross casino receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our provision for credit losses from our hotel and other receivables is not material.

Litigation Accrual

We are subject to various claims and legal actions. We estimate the accruals for these claims and legal actions based on all relevant facts and circumstances currently available and include such accruals in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets when it is determined such contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Property and Equipment

As of December 31, 2024, we had net property and equipment of $11.99 billion, representing 58.0% of our total assets. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations, such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. The estimated useful lives of assets are periodically reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a prospective basis.

For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we first group our assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

To estimate the undiscounted cash flows of our asset groups, we consider all potential cash flows scenarios, which are probability weighted based on management's estimates given current conditions. Determining the recoverability of our asset groups is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimated cash flows, probability weighting of potential scenarios, costs to complete construction for assets under development, growth rates and future market conditions, among others. Future changes to our estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic factors, regulatory environments, operating results or management's intentions may result in future changes to the recoverability of our asset groups.

Gaming Assets under the Macao Concession

As we continue to operate the Gaming Assets, as defined in “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 7 — Property and Equipment, Net,” in the same manner as under the previous subconcession, obtain substantially all of the economic benefits and bear all of the risks arising from the use of these assets, as well as assume VML will be successful in being awarded a new concession upon expiry of the current concession, we continue to recognize these Gaming Assets as property and equipment over their remaining estimated useful lives.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We record income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

Our foreign and U.S. tax rate differential reflects the fact that U.S. tax rates are higher than the statutory tax rates in Singapore and Macao of 17% and 12%, respectively. On February 5, 2024, we received an exemption from Macao's corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games of chance for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027.

Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if it is “more-likely-than-not” such assets will not be realized based on the available evidence. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a “more-likely-than-not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts

55

Table of Contents

of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring and tax planning strategies.

We recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions of $314 million and $394 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and a valuation allowance on certain U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $2.46 billion and $3.49 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets at each reporting period and consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies. To the extent the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to reduce the valuation allowance in the period such determination is made, as appropriate.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provide a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is “more-likely-than-not” the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits of being sustained on examination. We recorded unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties of $148 million and $141 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and for which actual outcomes may be different.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao, and Singapore. We could be subject to examination for tax years beginning in 2020 in Macao and Singapore and tax years 2010 through 2015 and 2020 through 2023 in the U.S.

ITEM 7. — MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K. Certain statements in this “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We view each of our Integrated Resorts as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands.

During 2023, we achieved milestones in advancing several of our strategic objectives. We acquired the Nassau Coliseum, which included the right to lease the underlying land, with the intent to obtain a casino license from the State of New York to develop and operate an Integrated Resort. There is no assurance we will be able to obtain such casino license. We commenced work on Phase II of The Londoner Macao, which includes the renovation of the rooms in the Sheraton and Conrad hotel towers, an upgrade of the gaming areas and the addition of new attractions, dining, retail and entertainment offerings. We are nearing completion of renovations in Tower 1 and Tower 2 to provide world-class suites and other luxury amenities at Marina Bay Sands and announced the next phase with the renovation of the Tower 3 hotel rooms into world class suites and other property changes. We welcomed the return to normal operating conditions at our Macao operations with the relaxation of various COVID-19 restrictions beginning in late December 2022.

Macao

From 2020 through the beginning of 2023, our operations in Macao were negatively impacted by the reduction in travel and tourism related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Macao government's policy regarding the management of COVID-19 and general travel restrictions was relaxed in late December 2022 and early January 2023. Since then, visitation to our Macao Integrated Resorts and operations has improved.

The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao increased approximately 273.1% and decreased approximately 31.8%, during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022 and 2019 (pre-pandemic), respectively. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue increased approximately 333.8% and decreased approximately 37.4%, during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 2022 and 2019, respectively.

Singapore

From 2020 through early 2022, our operations in Singapore were negatively impacted by the reduction in travel and tourism related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Vaccinated Travel Framework (“VTF”), launched in April 2022, facilitated the resumption of travel and had a positive impact on operations at Marina Bay Sands. During February 2023, all remaining COVID-19 border measures were lifted. Airlift passenger movement has increased with a total of 59 million passengers having passed through Singapore's Changi Airport from January through December 2023, an increase of 83% and a decrease of 14% compared to 2022 and 2019, respectively.

Visitation to Marina Bay Sands continues to improve since the travel restrictions have been lifted. The STB announced total visitation to Singapore increased from approximately 6.3 million in 2022 to 13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, while visitation decreased 28.8% when compared to the same period in 2019.

Summary

We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $5.11 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $2.49 billion and $446 million of available borrowing capacity from our LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Revolving Facility and the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. We believe we are able to support continuing operations and complete the major construction projects that are underway.

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by casino customers who visit the property on a daily basis.

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

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip win percentage is expected to be 3.30% in Macao and Singapore. Actual win percentage may vary from our expected win percentage and historical win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 10.6% and 11.9%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate (“ADR,” a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements (such as government mandated closure, lodging for team members and usage by the Macao government for quarantine measures). The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be re-sold to walk-in guests.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area (“GLOA”) divided by gross leasable area (“GLA”) at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge, excluding rent concessions, in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2022

Summary Financial Results

We continued to see positive financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the lift of COVID-19 restrictions in Macao beginning in late December 2022 and the elimination of most pandemic-related restrictions in Singapore in April 2022. Macao visitation from mainland China increased 273.1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 due to relaxed general travel restrictions. Singapore visitation increased 115.8% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 due to the elimination of all remaining pandemic restrictions in February 2023 and an 83% increase in airlift passenger movement compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $10.37 billion, compared to $4.11 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating income was $2.31 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to an operating loss of $792 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net income from continuing operations was $1.43 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $1.54 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Operating Revenues

Our net revenues consisted of the following:

Year Ended December 31,
20232022Percent Change
(Dollars in millions)
Casino$7,522$2,627186.3%

Mall76758032.2%
Convention, retail and other295133121.8%
Total net revenues$10,372$4,110152.4%

Consolidated net revenues were $10.37 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $6.26 billion compared to $4.11 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by an increase of $4.93 billion at our Macao operations. The increase at our Macao operations was due to increased visitation as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in Macao and the surrounding region in late December 2022 and early January 2023. In addition, an increase of $1.33 billion at Marina Bay Sands was primarily due to increased visitation from the reopening of borders and elimination of all remaining pandemic-related restrictions in February 2023 and an increase in airlift passenger movement in 2023.

Net casino revenues increased $4.90 billion compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by a $3.89 billion increase at our Macao operations due to increased visitation across our properties resulting in increased table games and slot volumes, partially offset by a decrease in table games win percentages. Casino revenues at Marina Bay Sands increased by $1.0 billion due to increased table games and slot volumes, partially offset by a decrease in slot hold percentage. The lift of COVID-19 restrictions in Macao beginning in late December 2022 and elimination of restrictions in Singapore in February 2023 and an increase in airlift passenger movement in 2023 led to increased visitation and table games and slot volumes.

In our experience, average win percentages remain fairly consistent when measured over extended periods of time with a significant volume of wagers, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Room revenues increased $735 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to increases of $577 million and $158 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Macao room revenue increased as a result of increased occupancy rates and ADR, driven by increased visitation as pandemic-related restrictions were lifted beginning in December 2022, and the grand opening of The Londoner Macao in May 2023. Marina Bay Sands room revenues increased as a result of increased occupancy rates and ADR due to the elimination of all remaining pandemic-related restrictions in February 2023 and increased airlift passenger movement in Singapore in 2023. Our room revenues were also impacted by the disruption of the renovation associated with the introduction of new and elevated suites and rooms and other amenities throughout 2023.

(1)During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 2,100 rooms were available for occupancy. Of the 2,100 available rooms for the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately 1,250 rooms have been renovated. The completion of the remaining rooms is projected for early 2025 and will ultimately result in 1,850 available rooms.

Food and beverage revenues increased $283 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to a $173 million and $110 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, driven by new outlets and increased business volume at existing food and beverage outlets and banquet operations.

Mall revenues increased $187 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to a $159 million increase at our Macao operations, primarily driven by an increase in overage rent and a decrease in rent concessions granted to our mall tenants, and a $28 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by increases in minimum rent and overage rent.

Convention, retail, and other revenues increased $162 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to increases of $127 million and $35 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Increases at our Macao operations were primarily driven by increases of $57 million in ferry operations due to the resumption of ferry services in January 2023, $31 million in entertainment revenue, $16 million in limo revenue, $5 million in retail revenue, $4 million in convention revenue and $14 million in other

Table of Contents

operating revenues (e.g., Eiffel Tower, spa, and gondola rides). Increases at Marina Bay Sands were primarily driven by increases of $18 million in convention revenue, $2 million in entertainment revenue and $15 million in other operating revenues (e.g. SkyPark, art/science museum).

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consisted of the following:

Loss on disposal or impairment of assets279200.0%
Total operating expenses$8,059$4,90264.4%

Operating expenses were $8.06 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $3.16 billion compared to $4.90 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.36 billion increase in casino expenses.

Casino expenses increased $2.36 billion compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $1.90 billion and $232 million in gaming taxes at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, consistent with increased casino revenues. In addition, we had increases in gaming tax rates of 1% in Macao and 3% in Singapore, and a 1% increase in value added tax in Singapore.

Room expenses increased $110 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to increases of $83 million and $27 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, consistent with increased occupancy at both our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands. Additionally, the increase was also due to higher costs associated with the renovated and expanded suites and rooms at The Londoner Macao and the new and elevated suites and rooms introduced at Marina Bay Sands during the year.

Food and beverage expenses increased $162 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to increases of $85 million and $77 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, driven by increased business volume at food outlets and banquets and consistent with increased property visitation.

Convention, retail and other expenses increased $98 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by increases of $82 million and $16 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The increases were primarily due to increases of $36 million in ferry operation expenses due to the resumption of ferry services in January 2023, $29 million in entertainment expenses due to increased number of events held in 2023, $15 million in limo expenses, $7 million in convention expenses, $3 million in retail expenses and $8 million in other operating expenses (e.g., spa and valet).

The provision for credit losses was $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $11 million decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $8 million and $3 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The decreases were primarily driven

54

Table of Contents

by collections of receivables that were fully reserved. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the patrons who owe us money from gaming activities. We believe the amount of our provision for credit losses in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased $171 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $95 million and $76 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, driven by increases in payroll and marketing costs, utilities and property taxes.

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. The majority of pre-opening expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the grand opening of The Londoner Macao and new guest rooms at Marina Bay Sands. Pre-opening expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 related to Marina Bay Sands.

Development expenses were $205 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $143 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the costs were associated with our evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, primarily $93 million in New York and Texas, and $109 million for our digital gaming related efforts. Development costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization increased $172 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $109 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, as a result of the completion of renovations that were placed into service and a $60 million increase at our Macao operations, primarily as a result of accelerated depreciation related to the second phase of the renovations at The Londoner Macao and amortization of the intangible asset related to the Macao gaming concession.

Loss on disposal or impairment of assets was $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, were primarily due to $13 million in demolition costs related to renovations at Marina Bay Sands and $12 million in disposals and demolition costs at our Macao operations. The losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily due to $4 million in asset disposals related to aircraft parts and $3 million in asset disposal and demolition costs, primarily at The Londoner Macao, The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao and our corporate offices.

continuing operations before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of our operations with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

a)During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $72 million and $70 million, respectively, of which $43 million and $37 million, respectively, was included in corporate expense in “Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Consolidated Statements of Operations”.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $2.55 billion compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased casino and room revenues, driven by increased visitation at our properties due to the lift of COVID-19 restrictions in late December 2022 and early January 2023.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $805 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues across our operations driven by the opening of borders and elimination of all remaining pandemic-related restrictions in February 2023 and increased airlift passenger movement in Singapore in 2023, as well as introducing new and elevated suites and rooms and other amenities at Marina Bay Sands during 2023.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense:

Year Ended December 31,
20232022
(Dollars in millions)
Interest cost$825$706
Less — capitalized interest(7)(4)
Interest expense, net$818$702
Cash paid for interest$753$618
Weighted average total debt balance$15,188$15,298
Weighted average interest rate5.2%4.6%

Interest cost increased $119 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting primarily from increases in our weighted average interest rate, partially offset by decreases in our weighted average total debt balance. The weighted average interest rate increased primarily due to the increase in the underlying benchmark rates on our SCL Revolving Facility and our Singapore Credit Facility, and increased interest rates on the SCL senior notes in connection with the credit rating downgrades in February and June 2022, partially offset by the credit rating upgrade in July 2023 (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Long-Term Debt”). The weighted average debt balance decreased primarily due to payments made on the SCL revolver totaling $1.95 billion throughout the year ended December 31, 2023. We also had $31 million in imputed interest expense on the VML Concession financial liability in 2023 (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 9 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net”).

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Interest income was $288 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $116 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to $258 million in interest income on money market funds, bank deposits and treasury bills driven by higher interest rates. Our average interest rates on cash and cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 4.8% compared to 1.7% for the year ended December 31, 2022. We also had $29 million in interest income on the seller financing loan in connection with the sale of the Las Vegas Operating Properties, which increased $8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 due to an increase in the interest rate as the buyer elected payment-in-kind for the interest payments effective July 1, 2022 and an increase in the period in which the loan balance was outstanding in 2023.

Other expense was $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $9 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to foreign currency transaction losses driven by the U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by SCL, partially offset by foreign currency transaction gains driven by U.S dollar-denominated intercompany debt held by MBS.

Our income tax expense was $344 million on income before income taxes of $1.78 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in a 19.4% effective income tax rate. This compares to an 11.1% effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022. The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a 21% corporate income tax rate on our U.S. operations.

Our operations in Macao are subject to a 12% statutory income tax rate, but in connection with the 35% gaming tax, VML and its peers received an income tax exemption on gaming operations through December 31, 2022. On February 5, 2024, the Macao government provided notice that VML and its peers would continue to receive this exemption for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027. Additionally, we entered into a shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government in April 2019, effective through June 26, 2022, providing an annual payment as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits. We are in discussions for a new shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government, which would commence effective as of January 1, 2023.

(1)    Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.

(2)    Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. If the property also qualifies for Tourism Utility Status, the property tax exemption can be extended to twelve years with effect from the opening of the property. To date, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao have obtained an extended exemption. The exemption for The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao expired in August 2019 and August 2020, respectively, and the exemption for The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao will be expiring in December 2027 and September 2028, respectively.

(3)     Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for credit losses, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.

(4)    Rent concessions were provided to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related impact on mall operations.

It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income (“NOI”) as a useful supplemental measure of a mall's operating performance. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

In the table above, we believe taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis, while slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. Our rooms, food and beverage and other non-gaming revenues are conducted primarily on a cash basis and to a lesser extent as a trade receivable. Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income, accounts receivable, gaming related liabilities and interest payments. For the year ended December 31, 2023, cash generated from operations was $3.23 billion, an increase of $4.17 billion compared to cash used in operating activities of $944 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in cash generated from operations was primarily due to our Macao and Singapore operations generating increased operating income driven by the acceleration of visitation and the elimination of all remaining pandemic-related restrictions in Singapore in February 2023, and in Macao in late December 2022 and early January 2023. We also had increases in cash related to changes in working capital due to our gaming operations.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2023, totaled $1.02 billion. Included in this amount was $584 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, primarily due to Towers 1 and 2 room renovations. Capital expenditures were $233 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted of $132 million for The Londoner Macao, $71 million for The Venetian Macao, $15 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, $9 million for The Parisian Macao and $6 million for Sands Macao. Additionally, we funded $200 million for corporate and other.

Included in net cash flows from investing activities was a payment of $221 million related to the purchase of the Nassau Coliseum.

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2022, totaled $651 million. Included in this amount was $348 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, primarily due to Towers 1 and 2 room renovations. Capital expenditures were $243 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted of $175 million for The Londoner Macao, $52 million for The Venetian Macao, $9 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, $4 million for Sands Macao and $3 million for The Parisian Macao. Additionally, we funded $60 million for corporate and other.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows utilized for financing activities were $3.19 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were $2.07 billion in repayments on long-term debt, primarily related to the repayment on the SCL revolving facility of $1.95 billion. We also utilized $505 million for common stock repurchases and $305 million for dividend payments related to our stockholder return of capital program, and funded $250 million for a forward contract to purchase common stock of SCL to increase our equity ownership in SCL. Lastly, we paid $32 million in deferred offering costs, primarily related to the amendment and restatement of the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, and $29 million in other financial liability payments.

Net cash flows generated from financing activities were $6.15 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to net proceeds from the sale of the Las Vegas Operating Properties of $4.89 billion and $1.20 billion from the drawdown of our SCL revolving facility. These items were partially offset by $66 million in repayments on long-term debt and $11 million in deferred offering costs relating to obtaining LVSC Revolving Facility lender consents to consummate the Las Vegas Sale and the covenant waiver obtained on the 2018 SCL Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $4.44 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore revolving facilities, net of letters of credit. Additionally, we had $2.79 billion available for borrowing under the 2012 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility to finance construction costs incurred in connection with the MBS Expansion Project.

Capital Financing Overview

We fund our development projects primarily through borrowings from our debt instruments (see “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Long-Term Debt”) and operating cash flows.

Table of Contents

Our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants, which include maintaining a maximum leverage ratio, as defined per the respective facility agreements. As of December 31, 2023, our U.S. and Singapore leverage ratios, as defined per the respective credit facility agreements, were 3.3x and 1.7x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 4.0x and 4.5x, respectively, while our SCL credit facility had a covenant waiver through January 1, 2024, as mentioned below. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, we would be in default under the respective credit facilities.

On May 11, 2023, SCL entered into an amended and restated facility agreement (the “A&R Facility Agreement”) with respect to certain provisions of the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, pursuant to which lenders have (a) extended the termination date for the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) commitments and U.S. dollar commitments of the lenders that consented to the waivers and amendments in the A&R Facility Agreement (the “Extending Lenders”) from July 31, 2023 to July 31, 2025; (b) extended to (and including) January 1, 2024, the waiver period for the requirement for SCL to comply with the requirements that SCL ensure (i) the consolidated leverage ratio does not exceed 4.0x and (ii) the consolidated interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.5x; (c) amended the definition of consolidated total debt such that it excludes any financial indebtedness that is subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the A&R Facility Agreement (including the $1.0 billion subordinated unsecured term loan facility made available by the Company to SCL); (d) amended the maximum permitted consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of each of the financial quarters ending March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, and subsequent financial quarters to be 6.25x, 5.5x, 5.0x, 4.5x, and 4.0x respectively; and (e) extended to (and including) January 1, 2025 the period during which SCL’s ability to declare or make any dividend payment or similar distribution is restricted if at such time (x) the Total Commitments (as defined in the A&R Facility Agreement) exceed $2.0 billion by SCL’s exercise of the option to increase the Total Commitments by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion and (y) the consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 4.0x, unless, after giving effect to such payment, the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents of SCL on such date and (ii) the aggregate amount of the undrawn facility under the A&R Facility Agreement and unused commitments under other credit facilities of SCL is greater than $2.0 billion. Pursuant to the A&R Facility Agreement, SCL paid a customary fee to the Extending Lenders that consented. The amendments with respect to the extended commitments took effect on July 31, 2023.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $5.11 billion and restricted cash of $124 million as of December 31, 2023, of which approximately $2.20 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.20 billion, approximately $1.80 billion is available to be repatriated, either in the form of dividends or via intercompany loans or advances, to the U.S., subject to levels of earnings, cash flow generated from gaming operations and various other factors, including dividend requirements to third-party public stockholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL, compliance with certain local statutes, laws and regulations currently applicable to our subsidiaries and restrictions in connection with their contractual arrangements. We do not expect withholding taxes or other foreign income taxes to apply should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise.

We believe the cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations, as well as the $4.44 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit, and SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.79 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023) under the 2012 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility, as of December 31, 2023 (only available for draws after the construction cost estimate and construction schedule for the MBS Expansion Project have been delivered to the lenders), will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities, debt obligations and dividend commitments, as well as meet our commitments under the Macao Concession. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate global capital markets to consider future opportunities for enhancements of our capital structure.

In July 2023, we announced the resumption of our return of capital program. On August 16, 2023 and November 15, 2023, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program and, for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $305 million as a distribution against retained earnings. In January 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $151 million) to be paid on February 14, 2024, to stockholders of record on

61

Table of Contents

February 6, 2024. We expect this level of dividend to continue quarterly through the remainder of 2024. Our Board of Directors will continue to assess the level of appropriateness of any cash dividends.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 16, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized increasing the remaining share repurchase amount under our existing share repurchase program of $916 million to $2.0 billion and extending the expiration date from November 2024 to November 3, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 11,121,497 shares of our common stock for $510 million (including commissions and $5 million in excise tax) under our current program. All share repurchases of our common stock have been recorded as treasury stock.

We have approximately $1.50 billion remaining under our authorized share repurchase program. Repurchases of our common stock are made at our discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our financial position, earnings, cash flows, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions.

_______________________

(1)As of December 31, 2023, we had a $105 million liability related to uncertain tax positions. We do not expect this liability to result in a payment of cash within the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the liability in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions; therefore, such amounts are not included in the table.

(2)See “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Long-Term Debt” for further details on these financing transactions and “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 16 — Leases” for further details on finance leases.

(3)Other consists of finance leases, including imputed interest, and other financed purchased obligations, including the related interest.

Table of Contents

(4)Based on the 1-month rate as of December 31, 2023, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) of 5.40%, Hong Kong Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“HIBOR”) of 5.27% and Singapore Swap Offer Rate (“SOR”) of 3.62%, plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements.

(5)In addition to the amounts listed in the table above, under the Macao Concession, we have committed to spend 30.24 billion patacas (approximately $3.76 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023) through 2032 on both capital and operating projects, including 27.80 billion patacas (approximately $3.45 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023) in non-gaming projects. As Macao's annual gross gaming revenue amounted to 183.06 billion patacas (approximately $22.74 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023) in 2023, we are required to invest, or cause to be invested, an additional 5.56 billion patacas (approximately $691 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023) in non-gaming investment projects by December 2032. As the exact timing of this spend has not been finalized, these amounts have not been included in the table above.

We are also required to pay a 35% gross gaming revenue special gaming tax and a 5% gross gaming revenue contribution in Macao, which amounts we pay are variable in nature. Under the Concession, however, we are obligated to pay a special annual gaming premium if the average of the gross gaming revenues of our gaming tables and our electrical or mechanical gaming machines, including slot machines, is lower than a certain minimum amount determined by the Macao government; such special premium being the difference between the gaming tax based on the actual gross gaming revenues and that of the specified minimum amount. Based on the maximum number of gaming tables and gaming machines we are currently authorized to operate, if the monthly special gaming taxes paid during the year aggregates to less than 4.50 billion patacas (approximately $560 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023), we would be required to pay the difference as the special annual gaming premium.

(6)We are required to pay an annual premium with a fixed portion and a variable portion, which is based on the number and type of gaming tables and gaming machines we operate. Based on the gaming tables and gaming machines (which is at the maximum number of tables and machines currently allowed by the Macao government) in operation as of January 1, 2023, the annual premium payable to the Macao government is approximately $40 million for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2028, respectively, and $158 million in aggregate thereafter through the termination of the Concession in December 2032.

(7)Under the Handover Record, we are required to make annual payments of 750 patacas per square meter for the first three years and 2,500 patacas per square meter for the following seven years (approximately $93 and $311, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023). The annual payment of 750 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years two and three and the annual payment of 2,500 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years five through ten.

(8)We are party to certain operating leases for real estate, which primarily include $290 million related to long-term land leases in Macao with an anticipated lease term of 50 years, $148 million related to a long-term land lease in New York with a 26-year lease term, $16 million related to a long-term land lease in Las Vegas with a 40-year lease term, and $20 million related to office space in Singapore with a 5-year lease term. See “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 16 — Leases” for further details on operating leases.

(9)Mall deposits consist of refundable security deposits received from mall tenants.

(10)Primarily consists of all other non-cancellable contractual obligations and primarily relates to certain hotel management and service agreements, as described below. The amounts exclude open purchase orders with our suppliers that have not yet been received as these agreements generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust terms based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Some of our hotel properties operate pursuant to management agreements with various experienced third-party hotel operators (management companies), whereby the management company controls the day-to-day operations of each of these hotels, and we are granted limited approval rights with respect to certain of the management company’s actions. The non-cancelable period of our management agreements ranges from 14 to 40 years with various extension provisions and some with early termination options. Each management company receives a base management fee, generally a percentage of revenue as defined. There are also monthly fees for certain support services and some also include incentive fees based on attaining certain financial thresholds. Additionally, the Company's non-cancelable contractual obligations also include agreements with certain celebrities and professional sports leagues and teams for the hosting of events, advertising, marketing, promotional and sponsorship opportunities in order to promote the Company’s brand and services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities, nor have we engaged in any derivative transactions other than foreign currency swaps. Refer to “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Restrictions on Distributions

We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and ownership interests of our subsidiaries. Certain of our debt instruments contain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell certain of our assets without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.

Under the Concession, although not a restriction, we have to provide a five-day prior notification to the Macao government for any major financial decisions exceeding 10% of the share capital of VML.

Investors and others should note we announce material financial information using our investor relations website (https://investor.sands.com), our company website, SEC filings, investor events, news and earnings releases, public conference calls and webcasts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We believe the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Provision for Expected Credit Losses

We maintain a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluate the balances. We apply standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. We also specifically analyze the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer's financial condition, collection history and any other known information and adjust the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. We also monitor regional and global economic conditions and forecasts in our evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves.

Account balances are written off against the provision when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Credit or marker play was 10.6% and 11.9% of table games play at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. Our provision for casino credit losses was 40.2% and 61.6% of gross casino receivables as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our provision for credit losses from our hotel and other receivables is not material.

Litigation Accrual

We are subject to various claims and legal actions. We estimate the accruals for these claims and legal actions based on all relevant facts and circumstances currently available and include such accruals in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets when it is determined such contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Property and Equipment

As of December 31, 2023, we had net property and equipment of $11.44 billion, representing 52.5% of our total assets. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations, such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. The estimated useful lives of assets are periodically reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a prospective basis.

For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we first group our assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

To estimate the undiscounted cash flows of our asset groups, we consider all potential cash flows scenarios, which are probability weighted based on management's estimates given current conditions. Determining the recoverability of our asset groups is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimated cash flows, probability weighting of potential scenarios, costs to complete construction for assets under development, growth rates and future market conditions, among others. Future changes to our estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic factors, regulatory environments, operating results or management's intentions may result in future changes to the recoverability of our asset groups.

Gaming Assets under the Macao Concession

As we will continue to operate the Gaming Assets, as defined in “Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 7 — Property and Equipment, Net,” in the same manner as under the previous subconcession, obtain substantially all of the economic benefits and bear all of the risks arising from the use of these assets, as well as assuming VML will be successful in being awarded a new concession upon expiry of the current concession, we will continue to recognize these Gaming Assets as property and equipment over their remaining estimated useful lives.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We record income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

Our foreign and U.S. tax rate differential reflects the fact that U.S. tax rates are higher than the statutory tax rates in Singapore and Macao of 17% and 12%, respectively. In August 2018, we received an exemption from Macao's corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games of chance for the period of January 1, 2019 through June 26, 2022. In September 2022, we received an additional extension of this exemption for the period June 27, 2022 through December 31, 2022. On February 5, 2024, the Macao government provided notice that VML and its peers would continue to receive this exemption for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027. We entered into an agreement with the Macao government in April 2019, effective through June 26, 2022, providing for payments as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits, namely a payment of 38 million patacas (approximately $5 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023) for 2021 and a payment of 18 million patacas (approximately $2 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2023) for the period between January 1, 2022 through June 26, 2022. We are in discussions for a new shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao

government, which would commence effective as of January 1, 2023. The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflects a continuation of the exemption from Macao's corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games of chance and a new shareholder dividend tax agreement.

Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is “more-likely-than-not” such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a “more-likely-than-not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring and tax planning strategies.

We recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions of $394 million and $475 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a valuation allowance on certain U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $3.49 billion and $3.61 billion as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies. To the extent the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to reduce the valuation allowance in the period such determination is made, as appropriate.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is “more-likely-than-not” the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examination. We recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $141 million and $136 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and for which actual outcomes may be different.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao, and Singapore. We could be subject to examination for tax years beginning in 2019 in Macao and Singapore and tax years 2010 through 2015 and 2020 through 2022 in the U.S.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K. Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

We view each of our Integrated Resorts as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands.

On February 23, 2022, we closed on the sale of our Las Vegas real property and operations, including The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center (the “Las Vegas Operations”), for $6.25 billion (the “Las Vegas Sale”). At closing, we received approximately $5.05 billion in cash proceeds, before transaction costs and working capital adjustments of $77 million, a $1.20 billion seller financing loan and recognized a gain on disposal of $3.60 billion, before income tax expense of $750 million, during the year ended December 31, 2022.

During 2022, we achieved milestones in advancing several of our strategic objectives. We were awarded a new 10-year gaming concession for the operation of casino games of chance in Macao under the Concession entered into with the Macao government. We completed our key development project in Macao with the conversion of Sands Cotai Central into The Londoner Macao, in which the Londoner Arena and the expansion of the Shoppes at Londoner were completed during the first half of 2022. We began renovations at Marina Bay Sands, to provide world-class suites in Tower 1 and Tower 2, and welcomed the return of Marina Bay Sands to normal operating conditions in the second half of 2022 with the removal of various COVID-19 restrictions. We also continued to strengthen our balance sheet with the completion of the sale of the Las Vegas Operations.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

While visitation to Macao remains substantially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, the Macao government's policy regarding the management of COVID-19 and general travel restrictions has adjusted in line with changes in policy in mainland China in late December 2022 and early January 2023. Currently, visitors from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan may enter Macao, subject to them holding the appropriate travel documents, without having to present any proof of COVID-19 testing. Arrivals from foreign countries must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 nucleic acid test ("NAT") or antigen test completed within 48 hours prior to arrival. Our operations in Macao will continue to be impacted and subject to changes in the government policies of Macao, mainland China, Hong Kong and other jurisdictions in Asia addressing travel and public health measures associated with COVID-19.

Throughout the year ended December 31, 2022, various outbreaks occurred in the region, particularly in Hong Kong in late January and early February, the Guangdong province in March, Macao in mid-June and Zhuhai in early October, all of which resulted in various travel, border and/or operational restrictions. Specifically, on July 9, 2022, the Macao government ordered casinos and all non-essential businesses to close from July 11 to July 18 in an attempt to control the outbreak in Macao, which was extended through July 22, 2022. On July 20, 2022, the Macao government announced a consolidation period, which started on July 23, 2022 and ended on July 30, 2022, whereby certain business activities were allowed to resume limited operations; however, casino operations resumed, but with a maximum capacity of 50% of casino staff working at any point. Throughout August, these preventative measures were gradually reduced, as well as various restrictions on movement between Macao and Zhuhai were progressively lifted by both the Macao and mainland China governments.

Various travel restrictions, such as border closures, mandatory quarantines and proof of negative COVID-19 testing on arrival in Macao, among others, were in effect at various times during the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in fluctuations in guest travel and visitation.

The Hong Kong / Macao Express bus service and the ferry services between the Taipa Ferry Terminal and Hong Kong International Airport recommenced on December 24, 2022 and December 30, 2022, respectively. Our ferry operations between Macao and Hong Kong were suspended throughout 2022 and resumed operation on a limited basis on January 8, 2023.

Our Macao gaming operations remained open during most of the year ended December 31, 2022. While guest visitation has begun to recover with the gradual relaxation of travel and quarantine restrictions, the timing and manner in which our casinos, restaurants and shopping malls will operate at full capacity will progressively be assessed against business volumes.

At our Macao properties, all social distancing requirements, including those requiring reduced seating at table games and a decreased number of active slot machines on the casino floor compared to pre-COVID-19 levels, have ceased in early January 2023.

As with prior periods, in support of the Macao government’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, at various times throughout the year ended December 31, 2022, we provided both towers of the Sheraton Grand Macao hotel and also The Parisian Macao hotel to the Macao government to house individuals for quarantine and medical observation purposes.

Our operations in Macao have been significantly impacted by the reduced visitation to Macao. The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao decreased approximately 27.5% and 81.7%, during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 and 2019 (pre-pandemic), respectively. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue decreased approximately 51.4% and 85.6%, during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 and 2019, respectively.

In Singapore, the Vaccinated Travel Framework (“VTF”) was launched on April 1, 2022, to facilitate the resumption of travel for all travelers, including short-term visitors. Under the VTF, all fully vaccinated travelers are permitted to enter Singapore, without entry approvals, and starting April 26, 2022, these travelers are no longer required to take a COVID-19 test before departing for Singapore. Non-fully vaccinated travelers need only take a pre-departure test within two days before departure for Singapore and test negative before departing for Singapore. Operations at Marina Bay Sands will continue to be impacted and subject to changes in the government policies of Singapore and other jurisdictions in Asia, if any, addressing travel and public health measures associated with COVID-19.

Visitation to Marina Bay Sands continues to be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic; however, visitation has increased since restrictions have been lifted. The STB announced total visitation to Singapore increased from approximately 330,000 in 2021 to 6.3 million in 2022, while visitation decreased 67.0% when compared to the same period in 2019.

While our properties were open and some operating at reduced levels due to lower visitation and required safety measures in place as described above during the year ended December 31, 2022, the current economic and regulatory environment on a global basis and in each of our jurisdictions continue to evolve. We cannot predict the manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic changes over time, which could significantly alter our current operations.

We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $6.31 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $541 million and $439 million of available borrowing capacity from our LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Revolving Facility and the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. We believe we are able to support continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow for nonessential items.

Macao Concession

Until December 31, 2022, gaming in Macao was administered by the government through concession agreements awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which VML was one. On June 23, 2022, an extension was approved and authorized by the Macao government and executed between VML and Galaxy Casino, S.A., pursuant to which the subconcession was extended from June 26, 2022 to December 31,

45

Table of Contents

2022 (the “Subconcession Amendment”). VML paid the Macao government 47 million patacas (approximately $6 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) and provided a bank guarantee on September 20, 2022, of 2.31 billion patacas (approximately $289 million at exchange rates as defined in the bank guarantee contract) to secure the fulfillment of VML's payment obligations towards its employees if VML were unsuccessful in tendering for a new concession contract after its subconcession expired.

On November 26, 2022, the Macao government awarded six concessions to six of the bidders on a temporary basis, of which VML was one, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions, namely providing a bank guarantee of 1.0 billion patacas (approximately $125 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) to secure the fulfillment of VML’s legal, contractual and other obligations, including labor obligations. VML complied with all of these conditions by December 9, 2022. On December 16, 2022, the Macao government awarded six concessions on a definitive basis, of which VML was one, and VML entered into the Concession with the Macao government, effective as of January 1, 2023, and for the duration of ten years. On December 19, 2022, VML requested the release of all the bank guarantees it provided to the Macao government under its subconcession, and in January 2023 such bank guarantees were released, including the 2.31 billion patacas bank guarantee.

On December 30, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of the Gaming Law and their obligations under letters of undertakings (the "Undertakings"), each of VML, Venetian Cotai Limited ("VCL"), Venetian Orient Limited ("VOL") and Cotai Strip Lot 2 Apart Hotel (Macau) Limited (“CSL2,” a subsidiary of SCL) entered into deeds of reversion, pursuant to which each of VML, VCL, VOL and CSL2 confirmed and agreed to revert to the Macao government relevant gaming equipment and gaming areas (as identified in the Undertakings) without compensation and free of any liens or charges upon the expiry of the term of the subconcession extension period. On the same day, VML entered into a handover record (the "Handover Record"), pursuant to which the right to operate the same gaming equipment and gaming areas was granted to VML for the duration of the Concession, in return for annual payments of 750 patacas per square meter for the first three years and 2,500 patacas per square meter for the following seven years (approximately $93 and $311, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022). The annual payment of 750 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years two and three and the annual payment of 2,500 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years five through ten.

Inflation Reduction Act

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The IRA contains numerous provisions including a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) for certain large corporations that have at least an average of $1 billion adjusted financial statement income over a consecutive three-year period effective in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Applicable corporations would be allowed to claim a credit for the corporate minimum tax paid against regular tax in future years. The IRA also includes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases beginning January 1, 2023. The CAMT could impact our future cash flows and results of operations. The Internal Revenue Service has been granted broad authority to issue regulations or other guidance that could clarify how these taxes will be applied. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the IRA as additional information becomes available.

Intercompany Loan Agreement with SCL

On July 11, 2022, we entered into an intercompany term loan agreement with SCL, a related party, in the amount of $1.0 billion, which is repayable on July 11, 2028. In the first two years from July 11, 2022, SCL will have the option to elect to pay cash interest at 5% per annum or payment-in-kind interest at 6% per annum by adding the amount of such interest to the then-outstanding principal amount of the loan, following which only cash interest at 5% per annum will be payable. This loan is unsecured, subordinated to all third party unsecured indebtedness and other obligations of SCL and its subsidiaries and is eliminated in consolidation.

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, prior to its sale on February 23, 2022, are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel

46

Table of Contents

rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by casino customers who visit the property on a daily basis.

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

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop ("drop"), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip win percentage is expected to be 3.15% to 3.45% in Macao and Singapore. Actual win percentage may vary from our expected win percentage and historical win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 9.8% and 15.8%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: The volume measurements in the U.S. were slot handle, as previously described, and table games drop, which was the total amount of cash and net markers issued (credit instruments) deposited in the table drop box. We viewed table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Our win and hold percentages were calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Similar to Macao and Singapore, slot machine play was generally conducted on a cash basis.

Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate ("ADR," a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements (such as government mandated closure, lodging for team members and usage by the Macao and Singapore governments for quarantine measures). The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be re-sold to walk-in guests.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area ("GLOA") divided by gross leasable area ("GLA") at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge, excluding rent concessions, in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing

12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021

Summary Financial Results

The reopening of borders and elimination of most pandemic-related restrictions in Singapore positively impacted the financial results of Marina Bay Sands. In contrast, tighter border and travel restrictions had an adverse impact at our Macao operations. See "COVID-19 Pandemic Update" for further information.

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $4.11 billion, compared to $4.23 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating loss was $792 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $689 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net loss from continuing operations was $1.54 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1.47 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Operating Revenues

Our net revenues consisted of the following:

Total net revenues$4,110$4,234(2.9)%

Consolidated net revenues were $4.11 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $124 million compared to $4.23 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, driven by a decrease of $1.27 billion at our Macao operations due to decreased visitation as tighter border restrictions were introduced throughout 2022 as a result of increased COVID-19 cases in Macao and the surrounding region. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.15 billion at Marina Bay Sands, primarily due to increased visitation from the reopening of borders and elimination of most pandemic-related restrictions in April 2022.

Net casino revenues decreased $265 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was driven by a $1.04 billion decrease at our Macao operations due to lower visitation across our properties resulting in decreased table games and slot volumes. Casino revenues at Marina Bay Sands increased by $775 million due to increased table games and slot volumes, driven by the reopening of borders and elimination of most pandemic-related restrictions, partially offset by a lower Rolling Chip win percentage.

Room revenues increased $54 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased occupancy rates and ADR at Marina Bay Sands driven by increased visitation, partially offset by decreased occupancy rates and ADR driven by reduced visitation at our Macao properties.

Food and beverage revenues increased $102 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due to a $128 million increase driven by increased business volume at food and beverage outlets and banquets at Marina Bay Sands, partially offset by a decrease of $26 million at our Macao operations.

Mall revenues decreased $69 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. A $119 million decrease in mall revenues in Macao, driven by decreases in base rent and turnover rent, and an increase in rent concessions granted to our mall tenants, was partially offset by a $50 million increase in mall revenues at Marina Bay Sands, driven by a decrease in rent concessions granted to our mall tenants and an increase in turnover rent.

Convention, retail, and other revenues increased $54 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due to increases of $47 million and $7 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively, driven primarily by increases in convention revenue at Marina Bay Sands, and quarantine room revenue at the Sheraton Grand Macao hotel and The Parisian Macao.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consisted of the following:

Amortization of leasehold interests in land5556(1.8)%
Loss on disposal or impairment of assets927(66.7)%
Total operating expenses$4,902$4,923(0.4)%

Operating expenses were $4.90 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $21 million compared to $4.92 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $276 million decrease in casino expenses, partially offset by increases of $105 million in general and administrative expenses, $75 million in food and beverage expenses, $34 million in in development expenses and $24 million in corporate expenses.

Casino expenses decreased $276 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $290 million in gaming taxes. The $1.04 billion decrease in casino revenue at our Macao operating properties is subject to a 39% tax rate, whereas the $775 million increase in casino revenue at Marina Bay Sands is subject to a lower tax rate.

Food and beverage expenses increased $75 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due to an $86 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by increased business volume at food outlets and banquets and consistent with increased revenues, partially offset by an $11 million decrease at our Macao operations.

Convention, retail and other expenses increased $18 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by an increase of $16 million, consistent with increased revenues at Marina Bay Sands.

The provision for credit losses was $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The $12 million increase was primarily driven by an $11 million increase at Marina Bay Sands due to an increase in new credit issued and patrons who were unable to return to the property. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the patrons who owe us money from gaming activities. We believe the amount of our provision for credit losses in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

53

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses increased $105 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily driven by increases at Marina Bay Sands. The increases were primarily driven by increases in property operation costs, marketing and payroll to support the increased visitation and property tax and insurance costs.

Corporate expenses increased $24 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by increases in bonuses and stock-based compensation.

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. The majority of pre-opening expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, related to Marina Bay Sands. Pre-opening expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, related to The Londoner Macao.

Development expenses were $143 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $109 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the costs were associated with our evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, primarily in Florida and Texas, and our digital gaming related efforts. Development costs are expensed as incurred.

Loss on disposal or impairment of assets was $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2022, were primarily due to $4 million in asset disposals related to aircraft parts and $3 million in asset disposal and demolition costs, primarily at The Londoner Macao, The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao and our corporate offices. The losses for the year ended December 31, 2021, were primarily due to asset disposals and demolition costs related to The Londoner Macao.

_________________________

(1)Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is net income/loss before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of our operations with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain

incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

(a)During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $70 million and $27 million, respectively, of which $37 million and $15 million, respectively, was included in corporate expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(2)The Las Vegas Operating Properties are classified as a discontinued operation. We completed the sale on February 23, 2022. Financial results are for the period through February 22, 2022.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations decreased $662 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreased casino, mall and room revenues, driven by decreased visitation at our properties as tighter border and travel restrictions were in place in 2022 as a result of increased COVID-19 cases in Macao and the surrounding areas.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $608 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased casino, room, food and beverage and mall operations driven by increased visitation and loosened pandemic-related restrictions implemented in April 2022.

Discontinued Operation

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties decreased $227 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the current year activity representing only 53 days of operations as we completed the sale of the Las Vegas Operating properties on February 23, 2022, partially

offset by increased casino and room operations as Las Vegas Operating Properties operated under pre-pandemic guidelines.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense:

Year Ended December 31,
20222021
(Dollars in millions)
Interest cost$706$636
Less — capitalized interest(4)(15)
Interest expense, net$702$621
Cash paid for interest$618$606
Weighted average total debt balance$15,298$14,592
Weighted average interest rate4.6%4.4%

Interest cost increased $70 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, resulting primarily from increases in our weighted average interest rate and weighted average total debt balance. The weighted average debt balance increased due to draws of $1.20 billion on the SCL revolver during the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, the weighted average interest rate increased primarily due to increased interest rates on the SCL revolver and the MBS credit facility in line with increases in market rates and increased interest rates on the SCL senior notes in connection with the credit rating downgrades in February and June 2022 (see "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Long-Term Debt").

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Interest income was $116 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily from the $90 million in interest income on money market funds and bank deposits driven by an increase in cash due to the sale of the Las Vegas Operating Properties and higher interest rates. We also had $21 million in interest income from the seller financing loan in connection with the sale of the Las Vegas Operating Properties in 2022.

Other expense was $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $31 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. The change was due to the fluctuation in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and pataca in connection with our U.S. dollar denominated debt held by SCL.

Our income tax expense was $154 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $1.39 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in an 11.1% effective income tax rate. This compares to a (0.3)% effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021. The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate on our U.S. operations, and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao. Our U.S. operations recorded a valuation allowance on certain U.S. foreign tax credits, which we no longer expect to utilize. Our U.S. tax expense was partially offset by a tax benefit associated with the pre-tax book losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2022.

We have had the benefit of a corporate tax exemption in Macao, which exempts us from paying the 12% corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games, but does not apply to our non-gaming activities. We continued to benefit from this tax exemption through December 31, 2022. Additionally, we entered into a shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government in April 2019, effective through June 26, 2022, providing an annual payment as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits. In December 2022, we requested a corporate tax exemption on profits generated by the operation of casino games in Macao for the new gaming concession period effective from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2032, or for a period of corporate tax exemption that the Chief Executive of Macao may deem more appropriate. We are evaluating the timing of an application for a new shareholder dividend tax agreement.

The net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interests from continuing operations was $475 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $315 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. These amounts were related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Table of Contents

(3)    Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. If the property also qualifies for Tourism Utility Status, the property tax exemption can be extended to twelve years with effect from the opening of the property. To date, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao have obtained an extended exemption. The exemption for The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao expired in August 2019 and August 2020, respectively, and the exemption for The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao will be expiring in December 2027 and September 2028, respectively.

(4)     Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for credit losses, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.

(5)    The amount for Marina Bay Sands of $6 million related to a grant provided by the Singapore government to lessors to support small and medium enterprises impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic in connection with their rent obligations.

It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income ("NOI") as a useful supplemental measure of a mall's operating performance. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

In the table above, we believe taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis, while slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. Our rooms, food and beverage and other non-gaming revenues are conducted primarily on a cash basis and to a lesser extent as a trade receivable. Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income, accounts receivable, gaming related liabilities and interest payments. For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in operations was $944 million, an increase of $701 million compared to $243 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cash used for operations was primarily due to cash tax payments inclusive of, and primarily due to, the gain on sale of the Las Vegas Operations totaling $612 million, and our Macao operations generating increased operating losses and working capital requirements due to the decrease in visitation resulting from COVID-19 travel restrictions across key China markets in 2022 and Macao experiencing COVID-19 cases at various times throughout 2022. This cash usage was partially offset by operating cash flows provided by Marina Bay Sands due to the acceleration of visitation and elimination of restrictions in Singapore over the course of 2022.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2022, totaled $651 million. Included in this amount was $348 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and $243 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted of $175 million for The Londoner Macao, $52 million for The Venetian Macao, $9 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, $4 million for Sands Macao and $3 million for The Parisian Macao. Additionally, this amount included $60 million for corporate and other.

Table of Contents

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2021, totaled $828 million, including $653 million in Macao, which consisted of $551 million for The Londoner Macao, $71 million for The Venetian Macao and $19 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao primarily for The Grand Suites at Four Seasons, $7 million from Sands Macao, $4 million for The Parisian Macao and $1 million for Ferry and Other; $148 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; and $27 million for corporate and other.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows generated from financing activities were $6.15 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to the net proceeds from the sale of the Las Vegas Operating Properties of $4.89 billion and $1.20 billion from the drawdown of our SCL revolving facility. These items were partially offset by $66 million in repayments on long-term debt and $11 million in deferred offering costs relating to obtaining LVSC Revolving Facility lender consents to consummate the Las Vegas Sale and the covenant waiver obtained on the 2018 SCL Credit Facility.

Net cash flows generated from financing activities were $863 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was primarily attributable to net proceeds of $756 million, received from the drawdown of our SCL revolving facility, and transactions with discontinued operations. These items were partially offset by a $131 million make-whole premium for the early redemption of the SCL senior note due 2023 and $38 million in financing costs related to the issuance of the new unsecured notes at SCL and the covenant waivers obtained on the LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Credit Facility and 2012 Singapore Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2022, we had $2.48 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore revolving facilities, net of letters of credit. Additionally, we had $2.74 billion available for borrowing under the 2012 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility to finance construction costs incurred in connection with the MBS Expansion Project.

Cash Flows — Discontinued Operations

Cash flows from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, were primarily attributable to $4.89 billion in net proceeds from the Las Vegas Sale, which were transferred to continuing operations.

Capital Financing Overview

We fund our development projects primarily through borrowings from our debt instruments (see "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Long-Term Debt") and operating cash flows.

On February 23, 2022, we closed the sale of our Las Vegas Operations. At closing, we received approximately $5.05 billion in cash proceeds, before transaction costs and income taxes. The net proceeds of approximately $4.36 billion, after working capital adjustments, transaction costs and the payment of income taxes throughout 2022, will be used for incremental liquidity and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures and development activities. In connection with the closing of the sale, we may be required to make certain payments (“Support Payments”) to OpCo. The Support Payments are payable on a monthly basis following the closing through the year ending December 31, 2023, based upon the performance of the Las Vegas Operations relative to certain agreed upon target metrics and subject to quarterly and annual adjustments. Our remaining payment obligations are subject to a cap equal to $250 million for the period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2023. No Support Payments were made for the period post-close through December 31, 2022. On January 31, 2023, the Company received notice from OpCo that the Contingent Lease Support Agreement had terminated pursuant to its terms and that neither party would have any further liability or obligation thereunder.

Our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants, which include maintaining a maximum leverage ratio or net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined. In September 2021, LVSC extended the amendment, pursuant to which lenders, among other things, removed LVSC’s requirement to maintain a maximum leverage ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, through and including December 31, 2022. In November 2022, SCL extended the waiver and amendment request letter, pursuant to which lenders, among other things, waived SCL’s requirement to ensure the leverage ratio does not exceed 4.0x and the interest coverage ratio is greater than

Table of Contents

2.50x, through July 31, 2023. In September 2021, MBS extended the amendment letter, pursuant to which MBS will not have to comply with the leverage or interest coverage covenants as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, through and including December 31, 2022. Our compliance with our financial covenants for periods beyond December 31, 2022 could be affected by certain factors beyond our control, such as the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including travel, quarantine and border restrictions occurring in the future. We will pursue additional waivers to meet the required financial covenant ratios, which include a maximum leverage ratio of 4.0x, 4.0x and 4.5x under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, respectively, for periods beyond December 31, 2022 for LVSC and MBS and July 31, 2023 for SCL, if deemed necessary. We believe we will be successful in obtaining the additional waivers, although no assurance can be provided that such waivers will be granted, which could negatively impact our ability to be in compliance with our debt covenants for periods beyond December 31, 2022 for LVSC and MBS and July 31, 2023 for SCL. The 2018 SCL Credit Facility expires on July 31, 2023; however, we believe we will be successful in extending the maturity date of the facility prior to its expiration. If we are unable to extend the maturity date or refinance the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, we would be required to seek alternative forms of capital to repay the outstanding balance and our available liquidity may be reduced.

On January 30, 2023, LVSC entered into the Fourth Amendment with lenders to the LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the existing LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement was amended to (a) determine consolidated adjusted EBITDA on a year-to-date annualized basis during the period commencing on the effective date and ending on and including December 31, 2023, as follows: (i) for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter multiplied by four, (ii) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter and the immediately preceding fiscal quarter multiplied by two, and (iii) for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023, consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter and the two immediately preceding fiscal quarters, multiplied by four-thirds; (b) extend the period during which LVSC is required to maintain a specified amount of minimum liquidity as of the last day of each month to December 31, 2023; and (c) extend the period during which LVSC is unable to declare or pay any dividend or other distribution, unless liquidity is greater than $1.0 billion on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, to December 31, 2023.

Any defaults under our debt agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance we would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force us to restructure or alter our operations or debt obligations.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $6.31 billion and restricted cash of $125 million as of December 31, 2022, of which approximately $2.57 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.57 billion, approximately $2.06 billion is available to be repatriated, either in the form of dividends or via intercompany loans or advances, to the U.S., subject to levels of earnings, cash flow generated from gaming operations and various other factors, including dividend requirements to third-party public stockholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL, compliance with certain local statutes, laws and regulations currently applicable to our subsidiaries and restrictions in connection with their contractual arrangements. We do not expect withholding taxes or other foreign income taxes to apply should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise.

We believe the cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations, as well as the $2.48 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit, and SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.74 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) under the 2012 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility, as of December 31, 2022 (only available for draws after the construction cost estimate and construction schedule for the MBS Expansion Project have been delivered to the lenders), will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities and debt obligations. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate global capital markets to consider future opportunities for enhancements of our capital structure. During the year ended December 31, 2022, SCL drew down $114 million and HKD 8.50 billion (approximately $1.09 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) under the SCL revolving facility for general corporate purposes.

We have suspended our quarterly dividend program beginning in April 2020, and SCL suspended its dividend payments after paying its interim dividend for 2019 on February 21, 2020.

We believe we have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including access to available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities. We also believe we are well positioned to support our continuing operations, complete the major construction projects underway, meet our commitments under the Macao Concession and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow for non-essential items.

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $2.50 billion of our outstanding common stock, which was to expire in November 2020. In October 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the extension of the expiration date of the remaining repurchase amount of $916 million to November 2022 and in October 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the further extension of the expiration date of the remaining repurchase amount of $916 million to November 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2022, no shares of our common stock were repurchased under this program. All share repurchases of our common stock have been recorded as treasury stock. Repurchases of our common stock are made at our discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our financial position, earnings, cash flows, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions.

_______________________

(1)As of December 31, 2022, we had a $100 million liability related to uncertain tax positions. We do not expect this liability to result in a payment of cash within the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably

62

Table of Contents

estimate the timing of the liability in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions; therefore, such amounts are not included in the table.

(2)See "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12 — Long-Term Debt" for further details on these financing transactions and "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 16 — Leases" for further details on finance leases.

(3)Other debt consists of finance leases, including imputed interest, and other financed purchased obligations, including the related interest.

(4)Based on the 1-month rate as of December 31, 2022, Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") of 4.30%, Hong Kong Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“HIBOR”) of 4.35% and Singapore Swap Offer Rate ("SOR") of 2.53%, plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements.

(5)In addition to the amounts listed in the table above, under the Macao Concession, we have committed to spend 30.24 billion patacas (approximately $3.77 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) through 2032 on both capital and operating projects, including 27.80 billion patacas (approximately $3.46 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) in non-gaming projects. We will be required to increase our investment in non-gaming projects by up to 20% in the following year subject to a trigger, namely if Macao’s annual market gross gaming revenue achieves or exceeds 180 billion patacas (approximately $22.42 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022). The 20% increase is subject to a deduction of 4% per year if the revenue trigger occurs on or after 2028 (the sixth year of the term of the Concession). This potential additional investment is estimated to be approximately $700 million. As the exact timing of this spend has not been finalized, these amounts have not been included in the table above.

We are also required to pay a 35% gross gaming revenue special gaming tax and a 5% gross gaming revenue contribution in Macao, which amounts we pay are variable in nature. Under the Concession, however, we are obligated to pay a special annual gaming premium if the average of the gross gaming revenues of our gaming tables and our electrical or mechanical gaming machines, including slot machines, is lower than a certain minimum amount determined by the Macao government; such special premium being the difference between the gaming tax based on the actual gross gaming revenues and that of the specified minimum amount. Based on the maximum number of gaming tables and gaming machines we are currently authorized to operate, if the monthly special gaming taxes paid during the year aggregates to less than 4.50 billion patacas (approximately $561 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022), we would be required to pay the difference as the special annual gaming premium.

(6)We are required to pay an annual premium with a fixed portion and a variable portion, which is based on the number and type of gaming tables and gaming machines we operate. Based on the gaming tables and gaming machines (which is at the maximum number of tables and machines currently allowed by the Macao government) in operation as of January 1, 2023, the annual premium payable to the Macao government is approximately $41 million for the years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2027, respectively, and $203 million in aggregate thereafter through the termination of the Concession in December 2032.

(7)Under the Handover Record, we are required to make annual payments of 750 patacas per square meter for the first three years and 2,500 patacas per square meter for the following seven years (approximately $93 and $311, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022). The annual payment of 750 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years two and three and the annual payment of 2,500 patacas per square meter will be adjusted with the Macao average price index of the corresponding preceding year for years five through ten.

(8)We are party to certain operating leases for real estate, which primarily include $319 million related to long-term land leases in Macao with an anticipated lease term of 50 years and $16 million related to a long-term land lease in Las Vegas with a 40-year lease term. See "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 16 — Leases" for further details on operating leases.

(9)Mall deposits consist of refundable security deposits received from mall tenants.

(10)Primarily consists of all other non-cancellable contractual obligations and primarily relates to certain hotel management and service agreements, as described below. The amounts exclude open purchase orders with our suppliers that have not yet been received as these agreements generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust terms based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Some of our hotel properties operate pursuant to management agreements with various experienced third-party hotel operators (management companies), whereby the management company controls the day-to-day operations of each of these hotels, and we are granted limited approval rights with respect to certain of the management company’s actions. The non-cancelable period of our management agreements ranges from 14 to 40 years with various extension provisions and some with early termination options. Each management company receives a base management fee, generally a percentage of revenue as defined. There are also monthly fees for certain support services and some also include incentive fees based on attaining certain financial thresholds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities, nor have we engaged in any derivative transactions other than foreign currency swaps. Refer to "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 11 — Derivative Instruments" for outstanding foreign currency swaps as of December 31, 2022.

Restrictions on Distributions

We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and ownership interests of our subsidiaries. Certain of our debt instruments contain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell certain of our assets without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.

Under the Concession, although not a restriction, we have to provide a five-day prior notification to the Macao government for any major financial decisions exceeding 10% of the share capital of VML.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

66

Table of Contents

Provision for Expected Credit Losses

We maintain a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluate the balances. We apply standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. We also specifically analyze the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer's financial condition, collection history and any other known information and adjust the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. We also monitor regional and global economic conditions and forecasts, which include the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in our evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, there continued to be a delay in payments on casino receivables due to the inability of patrons to travel to our properties or to accomplish financial transactions due to the travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. The collection of casino receivables has also been impacted by liquidity issues faced by certain patrons also stemming from the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have increased the provision for credit losses where appropriate to account for the expected credit losses due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We continue to closely monitor any delays in payments due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and will increase the provision accordingly depending on the facts and circumstances. Although we believe the provision on our casino receivables is adequate as of December 31, 2022, it is possible our provisions could increase if we experience further delays on payments from patrons.

Account balances are written off against the provision when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Credit or marker play was 9.8% and 15.8% of table games play at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2022. Our provision for casino credit losses was 61.6% and 72.5% of gross casino receivables as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The credit extended to gaming promoters can be offset by the commissions payable to said gaming promoters, which is considered in the establishment of the provision for credit losses. Our provision for credit losses from our hotel and other receivables is not material.

Litigation Accrual

We are subject to various claims and legal actions. We estimate the accruals for these claims and legal actions based on all relevant facts and circumstances currently available and include such accruals in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets when it is determined such contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Property and Equipment

As of December 31, 2022, we had net property and equipment of $11.45 billion, representing 52.0% of our total assets. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations, such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. The estimated useful lives of assets are periodically reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a prospective basis.

For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we first group our assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the "asset group"). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

67

Table of Contents

To estimate the undiscounted cash flows of our asset groups, we consider all potential cash flows scenarios, which are probability weighted based on management's estimates given current conditions. Determining the recoverability of our asset groups is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimated cash flows, probability weighting of potential scenarios, costs to complete construction for assets under development, growth rates and future market conditions, among others. Future changes to our estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic factors, regulatory environments, operating results or management's intentions may result in future changes to the recoverability of our asset groups.

For assets to be held for sale, the fixed assets (the "disposal group") are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses are recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down to fair value less costs to sell, while gains are recognized for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell, but not in excess of the cumulative loss previously recognized. Any gains or losses not previously recognized that result from the sale of the disposal group shall be recognized at the date of sale. Fixed assets are not depreciated while classified as held for sale.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We record income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

Our foreign and U.S. tax rate differential reflects the fact that U.S. tax rates are higher than the statutory tax rates in Singapore and Macao of 17% and 12%, respectively. In August 2018, we received an exemption from Macao's corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games of chance for the period of January 1, 2019 through June 26, 2022. In September 2022, we received an additional extension of this exemption for the period June 27, 2022 through December 31, 2022. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with the Macao government in April 2019, effective through June 26, 2022, providing for payments as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits, namely a payment of 38 million patacas (approximately $5 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) for each of the years 2021 and 2020, each payment to be made on or before January 31 of the following year, and a payment of 18 million patacas (approximately $2 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) for the period between January 1, 2022 through June 26, 2022, to be paid on or before July 26, 2022. In December 2022, we requested a corporate tax exemption on profits generated by the operation of casino games in Macao for the new Concession period effective from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2032, or for a period of corporate tax exemption that the Chief Executive of Macao may deem more appropriate. We are evaluating the timing of an application for a new shareholder dividend tax agreement. There is no certainty either of these tax arrangements will be granted.

Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is "more-likely-than-not" such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a "more-likely-than-not" realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring and tax planning strategies.

We recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions of $475 million and $416 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and a valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets of our U.S. operations of $3.61 billion and $4.62 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies. To the extent the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes "more-likely-than-not" the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to reduce the valuation allowance in the period such determination is made, as appropriate.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is "more-likely-than-not" the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. We recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $136 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and for which actual outcomes may be different.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao, and Singapore. We could be subject to examination for tax years beginning in 2018 in Macao and Singapore and tax years 2010 through 2015 and 2019 through 2021 in the U.S.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K. Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

We view each of our Integrated Resorts as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands. Our operating segments in the U.S. consist of the Las Vegas Operating Properties, which includes The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo Center.

During 2021, we achieved milestones in advancing several of our strategic objectives. We continued progress on our key development projects in Macao for the conversion of Sands Cotai Central into The Londoner Macao, we opened The Londoner Macao Hotel in January 2021, featuring 594 London-themed suites, and we opened Londoner Court in September 2021, featuring approximately 370 luxury suites. In Singapore, we initiated development activities associated with the MBS Expansion Project. We continued to strengthen our balance sheet with the issuance of SCL 2027, 2029 and 2031 Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.95 billion. We used the net proceeds from the issuance and cash on hand to redeem in full the outstanding principal amount of the $1.80 billion 4.600% Senior Notes due 2023, and are prepared to complete the sale of the Las Vegas property.

On March 2, 2021, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our Las Vegas real property and operations, including The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center, for a total enterprise value of $6.25 billion to Pioneer OpCo, LLC, an affiliate of certain funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., and VICI Properties L.P, a subsidiary of VICI Properties Inc. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory review and other closing conditions and we anticipate the closing of the transaction in the first quarter of 2022.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

In early January 2020, an outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease spread rapidly across the world causing the World Health Organization to declare the outbreak of a pandemic on March 12, 2020 (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). Governments around the world mandated actions to contain the spread of the virus that included stay-at-home orders, quarantines, capacity limits, closures of non-essential businesses, including entertainment activities, and significant restrictions on travel. The government actions varied based upon a number of factors, including the extent and severity of the COVID-19 Pandemic within their respective countries and jurisdictions.

Visitation to the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”) of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) has remained substantially below pre-COVID-19 levels as a result of various government policies limiting or discouraging travel. As of the date of this report, other than people from mainland China who in general may enter Macao without quarantine subject to them holding the appropriate travel documents, a negative COVID-19 test result issued within a specified time period and a green health-code, there remains in place a complete ban on entry or a need to undergo various quarantine requirements depending on the person’s residency and recent travel history. Our operations in Macao will continue to be impacted and subject to changes in the government policies of Macao, China, Hong Kong and other jurisdictions in Asia addressing travel and public health measures associated with COVID-19.

On March 3, 2021, the negative COVID-19 test requirement to enter casinos was removed; however, various other health safeguards implemented by the Macao government remain in place, including mandatory mask protection, limitation on the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing and temperature checks. Management is currently unable to determine when the remaining measures will be eased or cease to be necessary.

As of the date of this report, most businesses are allowed to remain open, subject to social distancing and health code checking requirements as designated by the Macao government. In January 2022, the Macao government commenced the roll out and trial of a non-mandatory contact tracing QR code function at a range of businesses including government buildings, restaurants, hotels and other public venues.

In support of the Macao government’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, we provided one tower (approximately 2,100 hotel rooms) at the Sheraton Grand Macao to the Macao government to house individuals who returned to Macao for quarantine purposes. This tower has been utilized for quarantine purposes on several occasions during 2020 and 2021. From October 4, 2021 to October 30, 2021, an additional tower (approximately 1,800 hotel rooms) at the Sheraton Grand Macao was provided.

Our Macao gaming operations remained open during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 when our Macao gaming operations were suspended from February 5, 2020 to February 19, 2020 due to a government mandate, except for gaming operations at The Londoner Macao, which resumed on February 27, 2020. Some of our Macao hotel facilities were also closed during the casino suspension in response to the decrease in visitation and were gradually reopened from February 20, 2020, with the exception of the Conrad Macao at The Londoner Macao (the “Conrad hotel”), which reopened on June 13, 2020.

Operating hours at restaurants and other venues across our Macao properties are continuously being adjusted in line with fluctuations in guest visitation. The majority of retail outlets in our various shopping malls are open with reduced operating hours. The timing and manner in which these areas will return to full operation are currently unknown.

Our ferry operations between Macao and Hong Kong remain suspended. The timing and manner in which our ferry operations will be able to resume are currently unknown.

Our operations in Macao have been significantly impacted by the reduced visitation to Macao. The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao increased 48.2% and decreased 74.8% for 2021, as compared to 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue increased by 43.7% and decreased by 70.3% for 2021, as compared to 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of the date of this report, entry into Singapore is largely limited to Singapore citizens and permanent residents, with certain visitors allowed from specified countries on a quarantine-free basis, subject to certain requirements and health control measures. Additionally, there are no stay-at-home orders or curfews except for certain individuals arriving into Singapore who are subject to quarantine and individuals who may be assessed to have been exposed to COVID-19 as a result of the government’s contact tracing efforts. All operations are currently subject to limited capacities and other social distancing measures. As of the date of this report, Marina Bays Sands has implemented vaccination-differentiated safe management measures ("VDS"), allowing only fully vaccinated individuals; individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 within the past 180 days; or individuals medically ineligible for COVID-19 vaccination to enter the casino and other attractions.

Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) (travel corridors for vaccinated visitors in receipt of a negative COVID-19 test) were introduced for a number of key source markets in November and December of 2021, however, due to the emergence of the Omicron variant, new ticket sales for the VTLs were suspended on December 23, 2021 through January 20, 2022.

Our operations at Marina Bay Sands will continue to be impacted and subject to changes in the government policies of Singapore and other jurisdictions in Asia addressing travel and public health measures associated with COVID-19. These government policies will continue to impact (i) the number of people allowed at business-to-business events, sporting events and live performances; (ii) closure or limited seating at food and beverage or entertainment establishments; and (iii) casino capacity limits, among other restrictions. During the year ended December 31, 2021, gaming operations at Marina Bay Sands were closed from May 17 until May 18, and from July 22 until August 4 due to pandemic-related measures in consultation with the Singapore government authorities.

As a result of the border closures, visitation to Marina Bay Sands continues to be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Singapore Tourism Board (“STB”) announced for the 12 months ended December 31, 2021, total visitation to Singapore decreased approximately 88.0% and 98.3%, as compared to the same period in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Effective June 1, 2021, pursuant to State of Nevada and Nevada Gaming Control Board decisions, all capacity limits, restrictions on large gatherings and other restrictions, which had been implemented in response to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, were lifted and our Las Vegas Operating Properties are operating under pre-pandemic guidelines.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, our Las Vegas Operating Properties were open subject to various capacity limits in place at various times throughout the year. This compares to the same period in 2020 when our Las Vegas Operating Properties operations were suspended on March 18, 2020, due to a government mandate, and on June 4, 2020, The Venetian Tower, The Palazzo Tower and select food and beverage outlets reopened, with certain operations subject to reduced capacity. Convention, meeting and certain entertainment related operations remained closed for a portion of the year ended December 31, 2020.

Visitation to our Las Vegas Operating Properties continues to be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic; however, visitation has increased since restrictions have been lifted. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority ("LVCVA") announced for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, total visitation to Las Vegas increased 69.4% and decreased 24.2%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2020 and 2019. The LVCVA also announced for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, gross gaming revenue for the Las Vegas Strip increased 89.9%, and 7.6%, as compared to the same period in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

At our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, we are adhering to social distancing requirements, which include reduced seating at table games and a decreased number of active slot machines on the casino floor. Additionally, there is uncertainty of the impact the COVID-19 Pandemic will continue to have on operations in future periods. If our Integrated Resorts are not permitted to resume normal operations, travel restrictions such as those related to inbound travel from other countries are not modified or eliminated, there is a resumption of the suspension of the China Individual Visit Scheme, or the global response to contain the COVID-19 Pandemic escalates or is unsuccessful, our operations, cash flows and financial condition will be further materially impacted.

While our Macao and Singapore properties were open and operating at reduced levels due to lower visitation and the implementation of required safety measures as described above during the year ended December 31, 2021, the current economic and regulatory environment on a global basis and in each of our jurisdictions continues to evolve. We cannot predict the manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic changes over time, which could significantly alter our current operations.

We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total cash and cash equivalents balance, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents, of $1.85 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $1.75 billion and $438 million of available borrowing capacity from our LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Revolving Facility and the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, and SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.73 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2021) under our Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility, exclusively for capital expenditures for the MBS Expansion Project (subject to restrictions as described further in Part I — Item 1 — Business — Development Projects), as of December 31, 2021. We believe we are able to support continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow of non-essential items.

Macao Subconcession

Gaming in Macao is administered by the government through concession agreements awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which Venetian Macau Limited (“VML,” a subsidiary of Sands China Ltd.) is one. These concession agreements expire on June 26, 2022. If VML’s subconcession is not extended or renewed, VML may be prohibited from conducting gaming operations in Macao, and VML could cease to generate revenues from the gaming operations when the subconcession agreement expires on June 26, 2022. In addition, all of VML’s casino premises and gaming-related equipment could be automatically transferred to the Macao government without any compensation to VML.

On January 18, 2022, the Macao Legislative Assembly published a draft bill entitled Amendment to Law No. 16/2001 to amend Macao’s gaming Law 16/2002 (the “Gaming Law”).

43

Table of Contents

Certain changes to the Gaming Law set out in the draft bill include a reduction in the term of future gaming concessions to ten (10) years; authorization of up to six (6) gaming concession contracts; an increase in the minimum capital contribution of concessionaires to 5 billion patacas (approximately $622 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2021); and a prohibition of revenue sharing arrangements between gaming promoters and concessionaires.

We are actively monitoring developments with respect to the Macao government’s Gaming Law amendment and concession renewal process and we continue to believe we will be successful in extending the term of our subconcession and/or obtaining a new gaming concession when our current subconcession expires; however, it is possible the Macao government could further change or interpret the associated gaming laws in a manner that could negatively impact us.

Under our SCL senior notes indentures, upon the occurrence of any event resulting from any change in Gaming Law (as defined in the indentures) after which none of Sands China Ltd. (“SCL”) or any of its subsidiaries own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macao in substantially the same manner as they are owning or managing casino or gaming areas or operating casino games as of the issue date of the SCL senior notes, for a period of 30 consecutive days or more, and such event has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of SCL and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, each holder of the SCL senior notes would have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of such holder's SCL senior notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the “Investor Put Option”).

Additionally, under the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, the events that trigger an Investor Put Option under the SCL senior notes (as described above) would be an event of default, which may result in commitments being immediately cancelled, in whole or in part, and the related outstanding balances and accrued interest, if any, becoming immediately due and payable.

The subconcession not being extended or renewed and the potential impact if holders of the notes and the agent have the ability to, and make the election to, accelerate the repayment of our debt would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We intend to follow the process for a concession renewal once the process and requirements are announced by the Macao government.

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by casino customers who visit the property on a daily basis.

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

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop ("drop"), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as

44

Table of Contents

casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip win percentage is expected to be 3.15% to 3.45% in Macao and Singapore. Actual win percentage may vary from our expected win percentage and historical win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 14.5% and 7.9%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: The volume measurements in the U.S. are slot handle, as previously described, and table games drop, which is the total amount of cash and net markers issued deposited in the table drop box. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Based upon our mix of table games, our table games are expected to produce a win percentage of 18% to 26% for Baccarat and 16% to 24% for non-Baccarat. Actual win percentage may vary from our expected win percentage and historical win and hold percentages. Similar to Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Approximately 53.9% of our table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties was conducted on a credit basis for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate ("ADR," a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements (such as government mandated closure, lodging for team members and usage by the Macao and Singapore governments for quarantine measures). The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be re-sold to walk-in guests.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area ("GLOA") divided by gross leasable area ("GLA") at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge, excluding rent concessions, in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

Consolidated net revenues were $4.23 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.29 billion compared to $2.94 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase consists of increases of $1.19 billion and $107 million at our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, due to increased casino and rooms revenue from increased visitation related to fewer days in which our gaming operations were closed in 2021 compared to 2020.

Net casino revenues increased $851 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Revenues at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands increased $818 million and $33 million, respectively, driven by increases in Non-Rolling Chip drop and slot handle.

In our experience, average win percentages remain fairly consistent when measured over extended periods of time with a significant volume of wagers, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Room revenues increased $135 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased occupancy rates driven by higher visitation across our properties, as well as our properties being closed for longer periods and select number of rooms being utilized for government quarantine purposes during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Food and beverage revenues increased $43 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was $34 million and $9 million at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The increase was due to increased visitation during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Mall revenues increased $268 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $207 million decrease in rent concessions granted to our mall tenants in Macao and Singapore compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as a $76 million increase in turnover rents. These items were partially offset by a decrease in occupancy rates for our Macao mall operations.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consisted of the following:

Amortization of leasehold interests in land56551.8%
Loss on disposal or impairment of assets2773(63.0)%
Total operating expenses$4,923$4,33313.6%

Operating expenses were $4.92 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $590 million compared to $4.33 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven by increased visitation due to fewer days in which our properties were closed during 2021 compared to 2020, and an increase in payroll-related costs due to an increase of $121 million in bonuses and incentives and a decrease in payments from the Job Support Scheme in Singapore received in 2021. The increase was partially offset by certain cost reduction programs implemented by management beginning in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Operating margins in each business segment remain negatively impacted as we have maintained our staffing levels across our jurisdictions through significantly reduced visitation. We have also continued our payroll cost saving initiatives across each of our properties, implemented in 2020, which included utilization of paid time off and voluntary unpaid leave.

Casino expenses increased $483 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $412 million in gaming taxes due to increased casino revenues, as previously described.

Room expenses increased $28 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase consisted of increases of $17 million and $11 million at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, consistent with the increase in room revenue.

Convention, retail and other expenses decreased $18 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, driven by a $13 million decrease in ferry expenses resulting from decreases in contract labor costs due to a reduction in headcount, lower repair and maintenance costs, and lower fuel costs as ferries were under dry dock. Additionally, convention, retail and other expenses at our Macao properties decreased $5 million as a result of the cancellation of MICE and entertainment events.

The provision for credit losses was $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $86 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increased level of provision recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the aging of patron receivables in connection with the impact of the

50

Table of Contents

COVID-19 Pandemic. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the patrons who owe us money from gaming activities. We believe the amount of our provision for credit losses in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased $33 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, consisted of increases of $18 million and $15 million at our Macao properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. The increases were primarily driven by increases in marketing, payroll and property operation costs.

Corporate expenses increased $43 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by $36 million related to payroll and related costs, driven by no bonus expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, travel and related expenses increased by $8 million due to increases in corporate aircraft usage and the related fuel costs, as well as higher fuel prices.

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. The majority of pre-opening expenses incurred related to The Londoner Macao.

Development expenses were $109 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and include the costs associated with our evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, primarily in Florida and Texas, as well as our digital gaming efforts. Development costs are also expensed as incurred.

Loss on disposal or impairment of assets was $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $73 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to fewer asset disposals and related demolition costs incurred during the construction of The Londoner Macao compared to 2020.

Segment Adjusted Property EBITDA

The following table summarizes information related to our segments (see "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 18 — Segment Information" for discussion of our operating segments and a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to net income/loss):

_________________________

(1)Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is net income/loss before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating

Table of Contents

performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of our operations with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

(2)The Las Vegas Operating Properties are classified as a discontinued operation held for sale.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $769 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to an increase in casino, mall, and rooms revenues due to fewer property closures as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The increases were due to increases in table drop and slot handle, reduced rent concessions and increases in occupancy and number of rooms available for sale, respectfully.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $65 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.The increase was primarily due to an increase in casino revenue and mall operations due to fewer property closures as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The increases were due to increased slot handle and reduced rent concessions, respectfully.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $414 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased casino and room revenue due to no property closures in 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The increases were due to increases in table drop and slot handle and increased occupancy, respectfully.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense:

Year Ended December 31,
20212020
(Dollars in millions)
Interest cost$636$544
Less — capitalized interest(15)(21)
Interest expense, net$621$523
Cash paid for interest$606$440
Weighted average total debt balance$14,592$13,412
Weighted average interest rate4.4%4.0%

Interest cost increased $92 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, resulting primarily from increases in our weighted average interest rate and weighted average total debt balance. The weighted average debt balance increased in connection with the issuance of the SCL 2026 and 2030 Senior Notes in June 2020 and draws on the SCL revolver during the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, the weighted average interest rate increased from 4.0% to 4.4% during the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of the expiration of interest rate swaps in August 2020 related to the SCL senior notes (see "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Long-Term Debt").

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Other expense was $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to other income of $19 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The change is primarily attributable to $51 million of foreign currency transaction losses, mostly driven by the U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by SCL.

Our income tax benefit was $5 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $1.47 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, resulting in a (0.3%) effective income tax rate. This compares to a 1.3% effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020. The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2021, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate on our U.S. operations, and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao. Our U.S. operations recorded a tax benefit associated with the pre-tax book losses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our U.S. tax benefit was partially offset by a valuation allowance recorded on certain U.S. foreign tax credits, which we no longer expect to utilize due to lower royalty income resulting from a decrease in revenues from our Macao and Singapore operations compared to prior estimates.

The net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interests from continuing operations was $315 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interest from continuing operations of $458 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. These amounts were related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

(4)    Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. Each property is also eligible to obtain an additional six-year exemption, provided certain qualifications are met. To date, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao have obtained a second exemption. The exemption for The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao expired in August 2019 and August 2020, respectively, and the exemption for The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao will be expiring in December 2027 and September 2028, respectively.

(5)    Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for credit losses, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.

It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income ("NOI") as a useful supplemental measure of a mall's operating performance. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

In the table above, we believe taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis, while slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. Our rooms, food and beverage and other non-gaming revenues are conducted primarily on a cash basis or as a trade receivable, resulting in operating cash flows being generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in operations was $243 million, a decrease of $948 million compared to $1.19 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily resulting from a decrease in net loss as our properties remained opened during the year ended December 31, 2021, with the exception of the closure of the casino at Marina Bay Sands on two different occasions (approximately 15 days total), compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, in which our properties were closed at various times

and for an extended period. Additionally, our net working capital requirements decreased during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2021, totaled $828 million, including $653 million in Macao, which consisted of $551 million for The Londoner Macao, $71 million for The Venetian Macao and $19 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; $148 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; and $27 million for corporate and other.

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2020, totaled $1.23 billion, including $1.06 billion in Macao, which consisted of $739 million for The Londoner Macao, $157 million for The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao primarily for The Grand Suites at Four Seasons, and $140 million for The Venetian Macao; $164 million in Singapore; and $5 million for corporate and other.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows generated from financing activities were $863 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was primarily attributable to net proceeds of $756 million, received from the drawdown of our SCL revolving facility, and transactions with discontinued operations. These items were partially offset by a $131 million make-whole premium for the early redemption of the SCL senior note due 2023 and $38 million in financing costs related to the issuance of the new unsecured notes at SCL and the covenant waivers obtained on the LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Credit Facility and 2012 Singapore Credit Facility.

Net cash flows generated from financing activities were $355 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was primarily attributable to the issuance of $1.50 billion of unsecured notes at SCL, partially offset by $911 million in dividend payments, and transactions with discontinued operations.

As of December 31, 2021, we had $3.68 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore revolving facilities, net of letters of credit. Additionally, we had $2.73 billion available for borrowing under the 2012 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility to finance construction costs incurred in connection with the MBS Expansion Project.

Capital Financing Overview

We fund our development projects primarily through borrowings from our debt instruments (see "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Long-Term Debt") and operating cash flows.

In September 2021, SCL issued, in a private offering, three series of unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.95 billion. The net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, was used to redeem in full the outstanding principal amount of the $1.80 billion 4.600% senior notes due 2023, any accrued interest and the associated make-whole premium as determined under the related senior notes indenture dated as of August 9, 2018. (See "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Long-Term Debt — Corporate and U.S. Related Debt — SCL Senior Notes").

Our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants, which include maintaining a maximum leverage ratio or net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined. In September 2021, LVSC extended the amendment, pursuant to which lenders, among other things, removed LVSC’s requirement to maintain a maximum leverage ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, through and including December 31, 2022. In July 2021, SCL extended the waiver and amendment request letter, pursuant to which lenders, among other things, waived SCL’s requirement to ensure the leverage ratio does not exceed 4.0x and the interest coverage ratio is greater than 2.50x, through January 1, 2023. In September 2021, MBS extended the amendment letter, pursuant to which MBS will not have to comply with the leverage or interest coverage covenants as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, through and including December 31, 2022. Our compliance with our financial covenants for periods beyond December 31, 2022 could be affected by certain factors beyond our control, such as the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including current travel and border restrictions continuing in the future. We will pursue additional waivers to meet the required financial covenant ratios, which include a maximum leverage ratio of 4.0x, 4.0x and 4.5x under our U.S., Macao and

57

Table of Contents

Singapore credit facilities, respectively, for periods beyond December 31, 2022 for LVSC and MBS and January 1, 2023 for SCL, if deemed necessary. We believe we will be successful in obtaining the additional waivers, although no assurance can be provided that such waivers will be granted, which could negatively impact our ability to be in compliance with our debt covenants for periods beyond December 31, 2022 for LVSC and MBS and January 1, 2023 for SCL.

In addition, pursuant to the Second Amendment and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions specified therein, the requisite lenders under the existing LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement consented to, and waived any applicable restrictions prohibiting, the consummation of the announced sale of the Las Vegas Operations.

Any defaults under our debt agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance we would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force us to restructure or alter our operations or debt obligations.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1.85 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $16 million as of December 31, 2021, of which approximately $1.06 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $1.06 billion, approximately $706 million is available to be repatriated to the U.S., and we do not expect withholding taxes or other foreign income taxes to apply should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise. The remaining unrestricted amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are not available for repatriation primarily due to dividend requirements to third-party public stockholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL.

We believe the cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations, as well as the $3.68 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit, and SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.73 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2021) under the 2012 Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility, as of December 31, 2021, will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities and debt obligations. If the construction cost estimate and construction schedule to the MBS Expansion Project are not delivered by the extended deadline, we will not be permitted to make further draws on the Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility after March 31, 2022 until these items are delivered to lenders. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate global capital markets to consider future opportunities for enhancements of our capital structure. During 2020, we entered into an amendment request letter on the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, which provides us with the option to increase the total borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion. Subsequently, on January 25, 2021, we increased the amount available under the SCL revolving credit facility by HKD 3.83 billion (approximately $491 million in exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2021) to further enhance our liquidity. During the year ended December 31, 2021, SCL drew down $71 million and HKD 5.31 billion (approximately $681 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2021) under this facility for general corporate purposes.

We have suspended our quarterly dividend program beginning in April 2020, and SCL suspended its dividend payments after paying its interim dividend for 2019 on February 21, 2020.

In June 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $2.50 billion of our outstanding common stock, which was to expire in November 2020. In October 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the extension of the expiration date of the remaining repurchase amount of $916 million to November 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, no shares of our common stock were repurchased under this program. All share repurchases of our common stock have been recorded as treasury stock. Repurchases of our common stock are made at our discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our financial position, earnings, cash flows, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions.

We believe we have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including access to available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities. We also believe we are well positioned to support our continuing operations, complete the major construction projects in Macao and Singapore that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current

environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow for non-essential items.

_______________________

(1)As of December 31, 2021, we had a $79 million liability related to uncertain tax positions; we do not expect this liability to result in a payment of cash within the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the liability in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions; therefore, such amounts are not included in the table.

(2)See "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Long-Term Debt" for further details on these financing transactions and "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 14 — Leases" for further details on finance leases.

(3)Based on the 1-month rate as of December 31, 2021, London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") of 0.10%, Hong Kong Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“HIBOR”) of 0.16% and Singapore Swap Offer Rate ("SOR") of 0.32%, plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements.

(4)We are party to certain operating leases for real estate, which primarily include $324 million related to long-term land leases in Macao with an anticipated lease term of 50-years and $17 million related to a long-term land lease in Las Vegas with a 40-year lease term. See "Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 14 — Leases" for further details on operating leases.

(5)Mall deposits consist of refundable security deposits received from mall tenants.

(6)In addition to the 39% gross gaming win tax in Macao (which is not included in this table as the amount we pay is variable in nature), we are required to pay an annual premium with a fixed portion and a variable portion, which is based on the number and type of gaming tables and gaming machines we operate. Based on

59

Table of Contents

the gaming tables and gaming machines in operation as of December 31, 2021, the annual premium payable to the Macao government is approximately $22 million through the termination of the gaming subconcession in June 2022.

(7)Primarily consists of all other non-cancellable contractual obligations and primarily relates to certain hotel and restaurant management and service agreements. The amounts exclude open purchase orders with our suppliers that have not yet been received as these agreements generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust terms based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities, nor have we engaged in any derivative transactions other than foreign currency swaps. Refer to Note 9 — Derivative Instruments for outstanding foreign currency swaps as of December 31, 2021.

Restrictions on Distributions

We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and membership interests of our subsidiaries. Certain of our debt instruments contain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell certain assets of our Company without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Provision for Expected Credit Losses

We maintain a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluate the balances. We apply standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. We also specifically analyze the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer's financial condition, collection history and any other known information and adjust the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. We also monitor regional and global economic conditions and forecasts, which include the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in our evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, there continued to be a delay in payments on casino receivables due to the inability of patrons to travel to our properties or to accomplish financial transactions due to the travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. The collection of casino receivables has also been impacted by liquidity issues faced by certain patrons also stemming from the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have increased the provision for credit losses in each jurisdiction accordingly to account for the expected credit losses due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We continue to closely monitor any delays in payments due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and will increase the provision accordingly depending on the facts and circumstances. Although we believe the provision on our casino receivables is adequate as of December 31, 2021, it is possible our provisions could increase if we experience further delays on payments from patrons.

Account balances are written off against the provision when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Credit or marker play was 14.5%, 7.9% and 53.9% of table games play at our Macao properties, Marina Bay Sands and Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2021. Our provision for casino credit losses was 72.5% and 59.8% of gross casino receivables as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The credit extended to gaming promoters can be offset by the commissions payable to said gaming promoters, which is considered in the establishment of the provision for credit losses. Our provision for credit losses from our hotel and other receivables is not material.

Litigation Accrual

We are subject to various claims and legal actions. We estimate the accruals for these claims and legal actions based on all relevant facts and circumstances currently available and include such accruals in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets when it is determined such contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Property and Equipment

As of December 31, 2021, we had net property and equipment of $11.85 billion, representing 59.1% of our total assets. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations, such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. The estimated useful lives of assets are periodically reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a prospective basis.

For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we first group our assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the "asset group"). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

63

Table of Contents

To estimate the undiscounted cash flows of our asset groups, we consider all potential cash flows scenarios, which are probability weighted based on management's estimates given current conditions. Determining the recoverability of our asset groups is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimated cash flows, probability weighting of potential scenarios, costs to complete construction for assets under development, growth rates and future market conditions, among others. Future changes to our estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic factors, regulatory environments, operating results or management's intentions may result in future changes to the recoverability of our asset groups.

For assets to be held for sale, the fixed assets (the "disposal group") are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses are recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down to fair value less costs to sell, while gains are recognized for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell, but not in excess of the cumulative loss previously recognized. Any gains or losses not previously recognized that result from the sale of the disposal group shall be recognized at the date of sale. Fixed assets are not depreciated while classified as held for sale.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We record income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

Our foreign and U.S. tax rate differential reflects the fact that U.S. tax rates are higher than the statutory tax rates in Singapore and Macao of 17% and 12%, respectively. In August 2018, we received an additional exemption from Macao's corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games of chance for the period January 1, 2019 through June 26, 2022, the date our subconcession agreement expires. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with the Macao government in April 2019, effective through June 26, 2022, providing for payments as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits, namely a payment of 38 million patacas (approximately $5 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2021) for each of the years 2021, 2020 and 2019, each payment to be made on or before January 31 of the following year, and a payment of 18 million patacas (approximately $2 million at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2021) for the period between January 1, 2022 through June 26, 2022, to be paid on or before July 26, 2022. There is no assurance either of these tax arrangements will be extended beyond their expiration dates.

Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is "more-likely-than-not" such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a "more-likely-than-not" realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring and tax planning strategies.

We recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign jurisdictions of $416 million and $342 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets of our U.S. operations of $4.62 billion and $4.58 billion as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the resulting reduction in estimated royalty income from an expected decrease in our Macao and Singapore operations, we recorded a valuation allowance on certain U.S. foreign tax credits, which we no longer expect to utilize during the period 2022 through 2027 before their expiration. We believe we made reasonable estimates and judgments in performing the analysis in light of the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic; however, should the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic persist for a prolonged duration, we could be required to record additional valuation allowances. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies. To the extent the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes "more-likely-than-not" the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to reduce the valuation allowance in the period such determination is made, as appropriate.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is "more-likely-than-not" the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. We recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $136 million and $131 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and for which actual outcomes may be different.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao, and Singapore. We could be subject to examination for tax years beginning in 2017 in Macao and Singapore and tax years 2010 through 2015 and 2018 through 2020 in the U.S.
