Item 2.         Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 11, 2026. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods. MGM Resorts International together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.”

Updates to Strategic Business Developments

In April 2026, we completed the sale of the operations of MGM Northfield Park for cash consideration of $546 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of this transaction. At closing, the master lease between the Company and VICI was amended to remove MGM Northfield Park and to reflect a $53 million reduction in annual cash rent.

Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:

•Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop, which is the total amount of cash and net markers issued and deposited into the drop box, and slot handle, which is the gross amount wagered in slot machines, (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. “Win” or “hold” percentages represent the net amount of gaming wins and losses in relation to table games drop or slot handle; and

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

Results of Operations

Summary Operating Results

The following table summarizes our consolidated operating results:

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 1% compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to revenue from Las Vegas Strip Resorts increasing 3% and MGM Digital increasing 20%, partially offset by revenue from Regional Operations decreasing 4% and MGM China decreasing 1%, each as compared to the prior year quarter.

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

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations includes discussion as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. Discussion of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 18, 2025.

Overview

Our primary business is the operation of casino properties, which offer gaming, hotel, convention, dining, entertainment, retail and other resort amenities, as well as the operation of digital gaming through our online platforms. We lease the real estate assets of our domestic properties pursuant to triple net lease agreements.

Our results of operations do not tend to be seasonal in nature, though a variety of factors may affect the results of any interim period, including the timing of major conventions, Far East baccarat volumes, the amount and timing of marketing and special events for our high-end gaming customers, and the level of play during major holidays, including New Year and Lunar New Year. While our results do not depend on key individual customers, a significant portion of our operating income is generated from high-end gaming customers, which can cause variability in our results. In addition, our success in marketing to customer groups such as convention customers and the financial health of customer segments such as business travelers or high-end gaming customers from a specific country or region can affect our results. Our results will also depend upon our ability to expand our ownership, management and operation of gaming facilities and accessing new markets for iGaming and online sports betting.

Our results are also affected by significant recent developments in our business, which principally consist of transactions we have executed in furtherance of our businesses strategy.

Overview of strategic business developments

•In July 2018, we and Entain formed BetMGM North America Venture. In connection with its formation, we provided BetMGM North America Venture with exclusive access to all of our domestic land based and online sports betting, major tournament poker, and online gaming operations, and Entain provided BetMGM North America Venture with exclusive access to its technology in the United States.

•On September 28, 2021, we announced that we and ORIX were selected by Osaka as the region’s integrated resort partner. In December 2021, we and ORIX formed a venture, MGM Osaka, through which we plan to develop the integrated resort. On April 27, 2022, we, together with Osaka prefecture/city, MGM Osaka, and ORIX, submitted an ADP to Japan’s central government. On April 14, 2023, we announced that the Japanese government officially certified the ADP, and, in September 2023, MGM Osaka signed an agreement with Osaka to implement the ADP. Preliminary construction began on the site of the future resort in 2024. During 2025, the construction of the project progressed as anticipated.

•On April 29, 2022, VICI acquired MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”), our subsidiary that held the real estate assets of certain of our domestic properties, in a stock-for-stock transaction. We entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI. See Note 11 for discussion of the lease.

•On May 17, 2022, we acquired the operations of The Cosmopolitan for cash consideration of $1.625 billion, plus working capital adjustments, for a total purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion. Additionally, we entered into a lease agreement for the real estate assets of The Cosmopolitan. See Note 11 for discussion of the lease.

•In June 2022, the Macau government enacted a new gaming law that provides for material changes to the legal form of gaming concessions in Macau, including discontinuing and prohibiting gaming subconcessions subsequent to their expiration, and also includes material changes to the rights and obligations provided for under the new gaming concessions that were awarded in the public tender that concluded in December 2022, such as limiting the term of concessions to a maximum of 10 years. In December 2022, we were awarded a new gaming concession, which permits the operation of games of chance or other games in casinos in Macau, commencing on January 1, 2023.

•On September 7, 2022, we acquired LeoVegas through a tender offer at a cash price of SEK61 per share, for a total fair value of equity interests acquired of approximately $556 million, inclusive of cash settlement of equity awards.

•On December 19, 2022, we completed the sale of the operations of The Mirage to an affiliate of Seminole Hard Rock Entertainment, Inc. for cash consideration of $1.075 billion, or $1.1 billion, net of purchase price adjustments and transaction costs. At closing, the master lease with VICI was amended to remove The Mirage and reflect a $90 million reduction in annual cash rent.

•On February 15, 2023, we completed the sale of the operations of Gold Strike Tunica to CNE Gaming Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Cherokee Nation Business, for cash consideration of $450 million, or $474 million, net of purchase price adjustments and transaction costs. At closing, the master lease with VICI was amended to remove Gold Strike Tunica and reflect a $40 million reduction in annual cash rent. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of this transaction.

•In August 2023, LeoVegas completed the acquisition of the majority ownership of Push Gaming, a digital gaming developer.

•In the third quarter of 2025, the competitive and economic assumptions underpinning our return expectations on our investment in a commercial gaming facility changed, which led us to determine we would withdraw our application for a commercial gaming license for Empire City. As such, in the third quarter of 2025, we recorded an impairment of the full amount of the Empire City reporting unit’s goodwill of $256 million and charges for write-downs and impairments within “Property transactions, net” of $93 million, of which charges primarily consist of the impairment of $52 million relating to Empire City’s existing gaming license. We will instead continue to operate Empire City in its current format. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion.

•In October 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell the operations of MGM Northfield Park for $546 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the master lease between us and VICI will be amended to remove MGM Northfield Park and to reflect a $53 million reduction in annual cash rent, subject to a 2% escalator on May 1, 2026. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of this transaction.

Cybersecurity Issue

In September 2023, we identified a cybersecurity issue involving unauthorized access to certain of our U.S. systems by criminal actors. The Cybersecurity Issue, together with the incident response efforts, resulted in some disruptions to our business operations and we also incurred expenses for technology consulting services, legal fees and other third-party advisors in connection with this issue, which were not material to our 2023 results. We have cybersecurity insurance from which we began to receive proceeds in 2024.

Visitation Statistics

The Las Vegas Strip segment results of operations are heavily impacted by visitor volume and trends. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Las Vegas visitor volume decreased 8% compared to 2024 according to information published by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

The MGM China segment results of operations also are heavily impacted by visitor volume and trends. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Macau visitor arrivals increased 15% compared to 2024 according to statistics published by the Statistics and Census Service of the Macau Government.

Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:

•Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop, which is the total amount of cash and net markers issued and deposited into the drop box, and slot handle, which is the gross amount wagered in slot machines, (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. “Win” or “hold” percentages represent the net amount of gaming wins and losses in relation to table games drop or slot handle; and

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

Results of Operations

Summary Operating Results

The following table summarizes our consolidated operating results:

Consolidated net revenues increased 2% in 2025 compared to 2024 due primarily to MGM China increasing 11%, MGM Digital increasing 19%, and Regional Operations increasing 1%, partially offset by our Las Vegas Strip Resorts decreasing 4%, each as compared to 2024 and as discussed below.

Consolidated operating income decreased 33% in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease was due primarily to $279 million of goodwill impairment of which $256 million related to Empire City, $93 million of write-offs and impairments related to Empire City recorded within property transactions, net, an increase in gaming taxes incurred primarily at MGM China, and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $161 million increase in income from unconsolidated affiliates and the increase in net revenues, discussed above. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $186 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to recently completed capital projects.
