MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. MGM Resorts International (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that acts largely as a holding company and, through subsidiaries, operates casino resorts.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company operates the following integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada: Aria (including Vdara), Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (“The Cosmopolitan”), MGM Grand Las Vegas (including The Signature), The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, and Excalibur. The Company also operates MGM Grand Detroit in Detroit, Michigan, MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland, MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts, Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Empire City in Yonkers, New York, MGM Northfield Park in Northfield Park, Ohio, and the following resorts in Mississippi: Beau Rivage in Biloxi and Gold Strike Tunica in Tunica. Additionally, the Company operates The Park, a dining and entertainment district located between New York-New York and Park MGM, and the Company owns and operates Shadow Creek, an exclusive world-class golf course located approximately ten miles north of the Las Vegas Strip, and Fallen Oak golf course in Saucier, Mississippi. The Company leases the real estate assets of its domestic resorts pursuant to triple-net lease agreements, as further discussed in Note 9.
The Company has an approximate 56 % controlling interest in MGM China Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “MGM China”), which owns MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”). MGM Grand Paradise owns and operates MGM Macau and MGM Cotai, two integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resorts in Macau, as well as the related gaming subconcession and land concessions.
Prior to the closing of the VICI Transaction (defined below), MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”) was a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Substantially all of its assets were owned by and substantially all of its operations were conducted through MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”). MGP had two classes of common shares: Class A shares and a single Class B share. The Company owned MGP’s Class B share, through which it held a controlling interest in MGP as it was entitled to an amount of votes representing a majority of the total voting power of MGP’s shares. The Company and MGP each held Operating Partnership units representing limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. Immediately prior to the VICI Transaction, the Company owned 41.5 % of the Operating Partnership units, and MGP held the remaining 58.5 % ownership interest in the Operating Partnership.
Additionally, the Company had leased the real estate assets of certain of its domestic properties from the Operating Partnership, as further discussed in Note 14, and the real estate assets of Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas from a venture that was 50.1 % owned by a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and 49.9 % by a subsidiary of Blackstone Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“BREIT”, such venture, the “VICI BREIT Venture”).
VICI Transaction. On April 29, 2022, the Company completed a series of transactions with VICI Properties, Inc. (“VICI”) and MGP whereby VICI acquired MGP in a stock-for-stock transaction (such transaction, the “VICI Transaction”), with the Company retaining an approximate 1 % ownership interest in VICI Properties OP LLC (“VICI OP”). MGP’s Class B share that was held by the Company was cancelled. Accordingly, the Company no longer holds a controlling interest in MGP and deconsolidated MGP upon the closing of the transactions. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of the transactions. In connection with the VICI Transaction, the Company entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of the lease.
The Cosmopolitan acquisition. On May 17, 2022, the Company acquired the operations of The Cosmopolitan. Additionally, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the real estate assets of The Cosmopolitan. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on this acquisition and Note 9 for further discussion of the lease.
The Mirage transaction. On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operations of The Mirage to an affiliate of Seminole Hard Rock Entertainment, Inc. (“Hard Rock”). Upon closing, the master lease between the Company and VICI will be amended and restated. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on this disposition.
7
LeoVegas transaction. On May 2, 2022, the Company commenced a public offer to the shareholders of LeoVegas AB (publ) (“LeoVegas”) to tender 100 % of the shares of LeoVegas at a price of SEK 61 in cash per share, equivalent to a total tender offer value of approximately SEK 6.0 billion (approximately $583 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2022). The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, subject to certain regulatory approvals, the receipt of valid tenders of more than 90 % of LeoVegas’ shares, and customary closing conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased shares of LeoVegas in the open market and, as of June 30, 2022, has a 23 % ownership interest.
Gold Strike Tunica transaction. On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operations of Gold Strike Tunica to Cherokee Nation Entertainment Gaming Holdings, LLC (“CNE”), a subsidiary of Cherokee Nation Business. Upon closing, the master lease between the Company and VICI will be amended and restated. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on this disposition.
MGM Grand Paradise existing gaming subconcession and new gaming law. Gaming in Macau is currently administered by the Macau Government through concessions awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires. Pursuant to the agreement dated April 19, 2005 between MGM Grand Paradise and SJM Resorts S.A. ("SJMSA," formerly Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A.), a gaming subconcession was acquired by MGM Grand Paradise for the right to operate casino games of chance and other casino games for a period commencing on April 20, 2005 through March 31, 2020. Pursuant to the then-existing Macau gaming law, upon reaching the maximum duration foreseen in the law (up to a maximum term of 20 years), the term of the concessions may be extended one or more times by order of the Chief Executive, which period may not exceed, in total, 5 years. In 2019, MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession term was extended from March 31, 2020 to June 26, 2022, consistent with the expiration of the other concessionaires and subconcessionaires. On June 23, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise entered into an addendum to its subconcession pursuant to which its gaming subconcession was extended to December 31, 2022 (refer to Note 6 for additional considerations relating to the gaming subconcession). In connection with the extension, MGM Grand Paradise paid the Macau government MOP 47 million (approximately $6 million) and will provide, within three months of the execution of the extension, a bank guarantee to secure the fulfillment of MGM Grand Paradise’s existing commitment of labor liabilities upon expiration of its subconcession (refer to Note 10 for discussion on the guarantee). Additionally, MGM Grand Paradise executed an agreement with the Macau government pursuant to which the casino areas of MGM Cotai and MGM Macau will be reverted, free of charge and without any encumbrances, to the Macau government at the end of the extended subconcession period on December 31, 2022. Management anticipates the gaming assets subject to reversion will be assets used in gaming operations or located in a gaming area, as well as an allocation of square footage for building assets. Upon reversion, MGM Grand Paradise will cease to have the legal ownership of the gaming assets, and, while management is currently evaluating the effect of the reversion, it expects that it will retain use of such assets if it is able to obtain a gaming concession in the forthcoming public tender.
On January 14, 2022, the Macau government disclosed the content of a proposed bill to amend Macau gaming law, which followed a 45-day public consultation process regarding draft amendment proposals that were issued in September 2021. The new gaming law was approved by the Macau Legislative Assembly on June 21, 2022 and published in the Macau Official Gazette on June 22, 2022. Under the new gaming law, the existing subconcessions will be discontinued and a maximum of six concessions will be awarded for a term to be specified in the concession contract that may not exceed 10 years and which may be extended by three years under certain exceptional circumstances. The enactment of the new gaming law precedes the public tender for the awarding of new gaming concessions for which the rules of the public tender were published on July 1, 2022, which outlined the details for the bidding, the qualifications of bidding companies, and the criteria for granting the new gaming concessions. On July 28, 2022, the opening of the public tender was announced with a deadline for the submission of bids of September 14, 2022. MGM China intends to respond proactively and believes it will be in a position to satisfy the relevant requirements relating to the tender process.
Certain events relating to the loss, termination, rescission, revocation or modification of MGM Grand Paradise’s ability to game in Macau, where such events have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, or results of operations of MGM China, taken as a whole, may result in a special put option triggering event under MGM China’s senior notes and in an event of default under MGM China’s revolving credit facilities. Management cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to obtain a gaming concession in the public tender; however, management believes that MGM Grand Paradise will be successful in obtaining a gaming concession when the public tender is held.
BetMGM. The Company owns 50 50 % of BetMGM is owned by Entain plc.
Reportable segments. The Company has three reportable segments: Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and MGM China. See Note 13 for additional information about the Company’s segments.

Impact of COVID-19 - Update. As of June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s domestic properties were open and not subject to operating restrictions; however, travel and business volume were negatively affected in the early part of the first quarter of 2022 due to the spread of the omicron variant.
Macau is currently operating under a “dynamic zero” COVID-19 policy, as is Hong Kong and mainland China. The Company’s properties in Macau were open during the first half of 2022, however, gaming operations were temporarily suspended on July 11, 2022 due to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Macau and resumed on July 23, 2022, subject to certain continuing health safeguards, with most restaurants and bars and certain retail outlets remaining closed. Several travel and entry restrictions in Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China remain in place, including entry bans, visa limitations, COVID-19 testing, and certain quarantine requirements, which have significantly impacted visitation to the Company’s Macau properties. Although gaming operations have resumed, protective and operational measures have had a negative effect on MGM China’s operations. The extent and timing of a closure of the MGM China’s properties, limitations of operations, or whether further travel restrictions to or from Macau will be implemented is uncertain if there is an increase or continued spread of COVID-19.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2021 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial statements. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Principles of consolidation. The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.
Management has determined that the venture that is 5 % owned by a subsidiary of the Company and 95 % owned by a subsidiary of BREIT, (such venture, the “Bellagio BREIT Venture”), is a VIE because the equity holders as a group lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Bellagio BREIT Venture because the Company does not have power to direct the activities that could potentially be significant to the venture as BREIT, as the managing member, has such power; accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the venture. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss in Bellagio BREIT Venture is equal to the carrying value of its investment of $57 million as of June 30, 2022, assuming no future capital funding requirements, plus the exposure to loss resulting from the Company’s guarantee of the debt of Bellagio BREIT Venture, which guarantee is immaterial as of June 30, 2022, as further discussed in Note 10.

Fair value measurements. Fair value measurements affect the Company’s accounting and impairment assessments of its long-lived assets, investments in unconsolidated affiliates or equity interests, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in an acquisition, and goodwill and other intangible assets. Fair value measurements also affect the Company’s accounting for certain of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured according to a hierarchy that includes: Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in an active market; Level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets; or Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs. The Company used the following inputs in its fair value measurements:
•Level 1 inputs when measuring its equity investments recorded at fair value;
•Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for its long-term debt fair value disclosures. See Note 7; and
•Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs when assessing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. See Note 3.
Fair value is measured based upon trading prices on the applicable securities exchange for equity investments for which the Company has elected the fair value option of ASC 825, such as LeoVegas, and equity investments accounted for under ASC 321, such as VICI OP. The fair value of these investments was $571 million and $66 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is reflected within “Other long-term assets, net” on the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in “Other, net” in the statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net unrealized loss of $23 million and $8 million, respectively. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net unrealized gain of $86
Accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the loss reserve on accounts receivable was $113 million and $128 million, respectively.
Revenue recognition. Contract and Contract-Related Liabilities. There may be a difference between the timing of cash receipts from the customer and the recognition of revenue, resulting in a contract or contract-related liability. The Company generally has three types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, which represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer, (2) loyalty program obligations, which represents the deferred allocation of revenue relating to loyalty program incentives earned, and (3) customer advances and other, which is primarily funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs (“casino front money”) and advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided, such as advance ticket sales and deposits on rooms and convention space or for unpaid wagers. These liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned, or deposited and are recorded within “Other accrued liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table summarizes the activity related to contract and contract-related liabilities:
| Outstanding Chip Liability | Loyalty Program | Customer Advances and Other | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Balance at June 30 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Increase / (decrease) | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | $ | ( | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The June 30, 2022 balances exclude liabilities related to assets held for sale. See Note 3.
Revenue by source. The Company presents the revenue earned disaggregated by the type or nature of the good or service (casino, room, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other) and by relevant geographic region within Note 13.
10
Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.
The Company classifies a lease with terms greater than twelve months as either operating or finance. At commencement date, the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The initial measurement of the operating lease ROU assets also includes any prepaid lease payments and are reduced by any previously accrued deferred rent. When available, such as for the Company’s triple-net operating leases for which the lessor has provided its implicit rate or provided the assumptions required for the Company to readily determine the rate implicit in the lease, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, for most of the Company’s leases, such as its ground subleases and equipment leases, the Company cannot readily determine the implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments for such leases based on the information available at the commencement date. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised. The Company’s triple-net operating leases each contain renewal periods at the Company’s option, each of which are not considered to be reasonably certain of being exercised. Many of the Company’s leases include fixed rental escalation clauses that are factored into the determination of lease payments. For operating leases, lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. For finance leases, the ROU asset depreciates on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the ROU asset and the lease liability accretes interest based on the interest method using the discount rate determined at lease commencement.
Refer to Note 9 for discussion of leases under which the Company is a lessee. Refer to Note 14 for discussion of the master lease with MGP.
The Company is a lessor under certain other lease arrangements. Lease revenues earned by the Company from third parties are classified within the line item corresponding to the type or nature of the tenant’s good or service. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, lease revenues from third-party tenants include $19 million and $33 million recorded within food and beverage revenue, respectively, and $29 million and $55 million recorded within entertainment, retail, and other revenue for the same such periods, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, lease revenues from third-party tenants include $11 million and $16 million recorded within food and beverage revenue, respectively, and $20 million and $36 million recorded within entertainment, retail, and other revenue for the same such periods, respectively. Lease revenues from the rental of hotel rooms are recorded as rooms revenues within the consolidated statements of operations.
Share repurchases. Shares repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase programs are retired upon purchase. The cost of the repurchases in excess of the aggregate par value of the shares reduces capital in excess of par value, to the extent available, with any residual cost applied against retained earnings.
NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
The Cosmopolitan acquisition. On May 17, 2022, the Company acquired 100 % of the equity interests in the entities that own 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. The acquisition expands the Company’s customer base and provides a greater depth of choices and experiences for guests in Las Vegas.
The Company recognized 100 % of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value at the date of the acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the fair value was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The Company estimated fair value using level 1 inputs, level 2 inputs, and level 3 inputs. As the transaction was recently consummated on May 17, 2022, the allocation of fair value for substantially all of the assets and liabilities is preliminary as of June 30, 2022, and may be adjusted up to one year after the acquisition.
11
The following table sets forth the preliminary purchase price allocation (in thousands):
| Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | |||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | ||||

| Other long-term assets | |||||
| Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities | ( | ||||
| Operating lease liabilities | ( | ||||
| Other long-term liabilities | ( | ||||
| $ | |||||
The estimated fair values of the intangible assets were determined using methodologies under the income approach based on significant inputs that were not observable. The identified intangible assets include trademarks, which is an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and customer lists, which is amortized over its estimated useful life of seven years . Goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributable to the profitability of The Cosmopolitan in excess of identifiable assets as well as expected synergies. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Las Vegas Strip Resorts segment.
The operating results for The Cosmopolitan are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. The Cosmopolitan’s net revenue for the period from May 17, 2022 through June 30, 2022 was $151 million and operating income and net income were $18 million and $18 million, respectively.
CityCenter acquisition. On September 27, 2021, the Company acquired Infinity World’s 50 % ownership interest in CityCenter for cash consideration of $2.125 billion. Prior to the acquisition, the Company held a 50 % ownership interest, which was accounted for under the equity method. Through the acquisition, the Company obtained 100 % of the equity interests and therefore consolidated CityCenter as of September 27, 2021. The fair value of the equity interests of CityCenter was determined by the transaction price and equaled $4.25 billion.
On September 28, 2021, the Company sold the real estate assets of Aria (including Vdara) for cash consideration of $3.89 billion and entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company leases back the real property. The Company classified the real estate assets as held for sale as of the acquisition date and accordingly measured the real estate assets at fair value less costs to sell, as reflected in the table below. See Note 9 for discussion of the lease.
The Company recognized 100 % of the assets and liabilities of CityCenter at fair value at the date of the acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the fair value was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The Company estimated fair value using level 1 inputs, level 2 inputs, and level 3 inputs.

The following table sets forth the purchase price allocation (in thousands):
| Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | |||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | ||||

| Goodwill | |||||
| Other long-term assets | |||||
| Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities | ( | ||||
| Debt | ( | ||||
| Other long-term liabilities | ( | ||||
| $ | |||||
The fair value of the acquired indefinite-lived trademarks was determined using methodologies under the relief from royalty method based on significant inputs that were not observable. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the profitability of CityCenter in excess of identifiable assets, of which approximately 50 % of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Las Vegas Strip Resorts segment.
Unaudited pro forma information - CityCenter and The Cosmopolitan acquisitions. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Company has been prepared assuming the Company’s acquisition of its controlling interest of CityCenter had occurred as of January 1, 2020 and the acquisition of The Cosmopolitan had occurred as of January 1, 2021. The pro forma information excludes the gain on consolidation of CityCenter and does not reflect transactions that occurred subsequent to acquisition, such as the Aria real estate sale-leaseback transaction or the repayment of CityCenter’s assumed debt. The unaudited pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of the indicated date.

VICI Transaction. On April 29, 2022, VICI acquired MGP in a stock-for-stock transaction. MGP Class A shareholders received 1.366 shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for each MGP Class A share outstanding and the Company received 1.366 units of VICI OP in exchange for each Operating Partnership unit held by the Company. The fixed exchange ratio represents an agreed upon price of $43 per share of MGP Class A share to the five-day volume weighted average price of VICI stock as of the close of business on July 30, 2021. In connection with the exchange, VICI OP redeemed the majority of the Company’s VICI OP units for cash consideration of $4.4 billion, with the Company retaining an approximate 1 % ownership interest in VICI OP that had a fair value of approximately $375 million. MGP’s Class B share that was held by the Company was cancelled. Accordingly, the Company no longer holds a controlling interest in MGP and deconsolidated MGP upon the closing of the transactions. Further, the Company entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI as discussed in Note 9. The lease between the Company and VICI BREIT Venture for the real estate assets of Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas remained unchanged.
13
In connection with the transactions, the Company recognized a $2.3 billion gain recorded within “Gain on REIT transactions, net.” The gain reflects the fair value of consideration received of $4.8 billion plus the carrying amount of noncontrolling interest immediately prior to the transactions of $3.2 billion less the carrying value of the assets and liabilities and accumulated comprehensive income derecognized of $5.7 billion. The major classes of assets and liabilities derecognized are as follows:

The Mirage. On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operations of The Mirage to an affiliate of Hard Rock for cash consideration of $1.075 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the master lease between the Company and VICI will be amended and restated to reflect a $90 million reduction in annual cash rent. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of regulatory approvals. The closing condition that the VICI Transaction is consummated or terminated was resolved upon the closing of such transaction and, accordingly, the asset group is classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022.
Gold Strike Tunica. On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operations of Gold Strike Tunica to CNE for cash consideration of $450 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the master lease between the Company and VICI will be amended and restated to reflect a $40 million reduction in annual cash rent. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2023, subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of regulatory approvals. The asset group is classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022.
The Mirage and Gold Strike Tunica are not classified as discontinued operations because the Company concluded that the sales are not a strategic shift that have a major effect on the Company’s operations or its financial results and they do not represent a major geographic segment or product line.

Goodwill was recognized in 2022 related to the acquisition of the operations of The Cosmopolitan, which is included in Las Vegas Strip Resorts. Goodwill related to the Mirage and Gold Strike Tunica, which are included in Las Vegas Strip Resorts and Regional Operations, respectively, were reclassified into assets held for sale in 2022 as further discussed in Note 3. Goodwill was recognized in 2021 related to the acquisition of the 50 % ownership interest in CityCenter, which is included in Las Vegas Strip Resorts.
MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession. As described in Note 1, the enactment of the new Macau gaming law in June 2022 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 to be awarded in the upcoming public tender. As a result, the Company determined that the existing MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession and new gaming concession, if obtained, would be two separate units of account.
Further, as the material changes in the legal and regulatory environment could have an adverse effect on the value of MGM Grand Paradise’s gaming subconcession, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred under ASC 360 in June 2022 for the MGM China asset group. The Company compared the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the asset group to its carrying value and determined that the undiscounted cash flows significantly exceeded the carrying value and therefore, no impairment was indicated.
Additionally, the Company reassessed the useful life of the existing gaming subconcession intangible asset and determined that, given the new gaming law and the resulting changes described above, the useful life would no longer be based on the initial term of the MGM Cotai land concession, which ends in January 2038, and that the useful life should be revised to align with the cessation of the subconcession rights that will occur at the end of the contractual term of the existing gaming subconcession, which ends on December 31, 2022. Accordingly, amortization of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession will be recognized on a straight-line basis over its reduced useful life.

For interim income tax reporting the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to its year-to-date ordinary income. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a provision of 26.1 % and 25.3 % on income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to a provision of 27.8 % on income before income taxes and a benefit of 19.6 % on loss before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Real estate assets and land. The Company leases the real estate assets of its domestic resorts pursuant to triple-net lease agreements, which are classified as operating leases. The triple-net structure of the leases requires the Company to pay substantially all costs associated with each property, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance (with each lease obligating the Company to spend a specified percentage of net revenues at the properties on capital expenditures), in addition to the annual cash rent. Each of the leases also obligates the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, which, if not met, would require the Company to maintain cash security or provide one or more letters of credit in favor of the landlord in an amount equal to 6 months or 1 year of rent, as applicable to the circumstances, under the VICI lease, 1 year of rent under the Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas lease, the Aria lease, and The

Additionally, the VICI lease provides VICI with a right of first offer with respect to any further gaming development by the Company on the undeveloped land adjacent to Empire City, which VICI may exercise should the Company elect to sell the property. Annual cash rent payments for the first lease year that commenced on April 29, 2022 was $860 million.
The Company is required to pay the rent payments under the ground leases of the Borgata, Beau Rivage, and National Harbor through the term of the VICI lease. The ground subleases of Beau Rivage and National Harbor are classified as operating leases and the ground sublease of Borgata is classified as a finance lease.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, most of which relate to routine matters incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other guarantees. The Company and its subsidiaries are party to various guarantee contracts in the normal course of business, which are generally supported by letters of credit issued by financial institutions. The Company’s senior credit facility limits the amount of letters of credit that can be issued to $1.35 billion. At June 30, 2022, $33 million in letters of credit were outstanding under the Company’s senior credit facility. The amount of available borrowings under the credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit.
MGM China bank guarantee. In May 2019, in connection with the extension of the term of its gaming subconcession to June 2022, MGM Grand Paradise provided a bank guarantee to the government of Macau in the amount of MOP 820 million (approximately $101 million as of June 30, 2022) to warrant the fulfillment of an existing commitment of labor liabilities upon expiration of the gaming subconcession. In connection with the June 2022 extension of the term of its gaming subconcession to December 31, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise is required to provide, within three months of the execution of such extension, a bank guarantee to the government of Macau in the amount of not less than MOP 880 million (approximately $109 million as of June 30, 2022), which would replace or increase the bank guarantee provided under the previous extension. As of June 30, 2022, the MOP 820 million guarantee was in place and the MOP 880 million guarantee was not yet provided.
Bellagio BREIT Venture shortfall guarantee. The Company provides a shortfall guarantee of the $3.01 billion principal amount of indebtedness (and any interest accrued and unpaid thereon) of Bellagio BREIT Venture, which matures
23
in 2029. The terms of the shortfall guarantee provide that after the lenders have exhausted certain remedies to collect on the obligations under the indebtedness, the Company would then be responsible for any shortfall between the value of the collateral, which is the real estate assets of Bellagio owned by Bellagio BREIT Venture, and the debt obligation. This guarantee is accounted for under ASC 460 at fair value; such value is immaterial.
VICI BREIT Venture shortfall guarantee. The Company provides a shortfall guarantee of the $3.0 billion principal amount of indebtedness (and any interest accrued and unpaid thereon) of VICI BREIT Venture, which has an initial term of 12 years , maturing in 2032, with an anticipated repayment date of March 2030. The terms of the shortfall guarantee provide that after the lenders have exhausted certain remedies to collect on the obligations under the indebtedness, the Company would then be responsible for any shortfall between the value of the collateral, which is the real estate assets of Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas, owned by VICI BREIT Venture, and the debt obligation. This guarantee is accounted for under ASC 460 at fair value; such value is immaterial.

NOTE 14 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
MGP
Prior to the closing of the VICI Transaction, the Company leased the real estate assets of The Mirage, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, The Park, Gold Strike Tunica, MGM Grand Detroit, Beau Rivage, Borgata, Empire City, MGM National Harbor, MGM Northfield Park, and MGM Springfield pursuant to a master lease with MGP.
The annual cash rent payments under the MGP master lease for the seventh lease year, which commenced on April 1, 2022, increased to $877 million from $873 million, due to the sixth 2 % annual base rent escalator that went into effect on April 1, 2022, as the tenant and operating subsidiary sublessee, collectively, met the adjusted net revenue to rent ratio on which such escalator was contingent, which increased annual cash rent by $16 million, partially offset by the percentage rent reset that went into effect on April 1, 2022, calculated based on the percentage of average actual annual net revenue of the leased properties during the preceding five year period, which decreased annual cash rent by $12 million.
All intercompany transactions, including transactions under the MGP master lease, were eliminated in the Company’s consolidation of MGP. The public ownership of MGP’s Class A shares was recognized as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2022, the Company completed the VICI Transaction, which resulted in the deconsolidation of MGP, including its investment in the VICI BREIT Venture. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the VICI Transaction. As part of the transactions, the Company entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion on the master lease with VICI.
Bellagio BREIT Venture
The Company has a 5 % ownership interest in Bellagio BREIT Venture, which owns the real estate assets of Bellagio and leases such assets to a subsidiary of the Company pursuant to a lease agreement. Refer to Note 9 for further information related to the Bellagio lease.

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, 2021, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2022. 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.” MGM China Holdings Limited together with its subsidiaries is referred to as “MGM China.” MGM Growth Properties LLC together with its subsidiaries is referred to as “MGP.”
Description of our business
Our primary business is the operation of casino resorts, which offer gaming, hotel, convention, dining, entertainment, retail and other resort amenities. We operate several of the finest casino resorts in the world and we continually reinvest in our resorts to maintain our competitive advantage. Most of our revenue is cash-based, through customers wagering with cash or paying for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. We rely on the ability of our resorts to generate operating cash flow to fund capital expenditures, provide excess cash flow for future development, repay debt financings, and return capital to our shareholders. We make significant investments in our resorts through newly remodeled hotel rooms, restaurants, entertainment and nightlife offerings, as well as other new features and amenities.
Impact of COVID-19 - Update
As of June 30, 2022, all of our domestic properties were open and not subject to operating restrictions; however, travel and business volume were negatively affected in the early part of the first quarter of 2022 due to the spread of the omicron variant.
Macau is currently operating under a “dynamic zero” COVID-19 policy, as is Hong Kong and mainland China. Our properties in Macau were open during the first half of 2022, however, gaming operations were temporarily suspended on July 11, 2022 due to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Macau and resumed on July 23, 2022, subject to certain continuing health safeguards, with most restaurants and bars and certain retail outlets remaining closed. Several travel and entry restrictions in Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China remain in place, including entry bans, visa limitations, COVID-19 testing, and certain quarantine requirements, which have significantly impacted visitation to our Macau properties. Although gaming operations have resumed, protective and operational measures have had a negative effect on MGM China’s operations. The extent and timing of a closure of MGM China’s properties, limitations of operations, or whether further travel restrictions to or from Macau will be implemented is uncertain if there is an increase or continued spread of COVID-19.
Other Developments
In April 2022, we completed the VICI Transaction in a stock-for-stock transaction. In connection with the transaction, VICI OP redeemed the majority of our VICI OP units for cash consideration of $4.4 billion, with us retaining an approximate 1% ownership interest in VICI OP. MGP’s Class B share that was previously held by us was cancelled. Accordingly, we no longer hold a controlling interest in MGP and deconsolidated MGP upon the closing of the transactions. In connection with the VICI Transaction, we entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI. See Note 3 and Note 9 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the transaction and lease, respectively.
In May 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 3 and Note 9 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the transaction and lease, respectively.
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
29
expiration, and also includes material changes to the rights and obligations provided for under the new gaming concessions to be awarded in the upcoming public tender, such as limiting the term of concessions to a maximum of 10 years.
As a result, we reassessed the useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession intangible asset and reduced the useful life to align with the contractual term of the subconcession, which expires on December 31, 2022, thereby accelerating the recognition of amortization within our statements of operations. See Note 1 and Note 6 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Certain events relating to the loss, termination, rescission, revocation or modification of MGM Grand Paradise’s ability to game in Macau, where such events have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, or results of operations of MGM China, taken as a whole, may result in a special put option triggering event under MGM China’s senior notes and in an event of default under MGM China’s revolving credit facilities. Management cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to obtain a gaming concession in the public tender; however, management believes that MGM Grand Paradise will be successful in obtaining a gaming concession when the public tender is held. For a description of certain risks applicable to MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession and related matters, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors– Risks Related to Our Macau Operations.”
Pending Transactions
On December 13, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell the operations of The Mirage to an affiliate of Hard Rock for cash consideration of $1.075 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the master lease between us and VICI will be amended and restated to reflect a $90 million reduction in annual cash rent. See Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the transaction.
On May 2, 2022, we commenced a public offer to the shareholders of LeoVegas to tender 100% of the shares of LeoVegas at a price of SEK 61 in cash per share, equivalent to a total tender offer value of approximately SEK 6.0 billion (approximately $583 million, based on exchange rates at June 30, 2022). See Note 1 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the transaction. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired equity interests in LeoVegas through the purchase of shares in the open market.
On June 9, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell the operations of Gold Strike Tunica to CNE for cash consideration of $450 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the master lease between us and VICI will be amended and restated to reflect a $40 million reduction in annual cash rent. See Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the transaction.
Key Performance Indicators
Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:
•Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop and slots handle (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. Our normal table games hold percentage at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts is in the range of 25.0% to 35.0% of table games drop for Baccarat and 19.0% to 23.0% for non-Baccarat however, reduced gaming volumes as a result of the pandemic could cause volatility in our hold percentages; 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. Rooms that were out of service during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of property closures due to the pandemic were excluded from the available room count when calculating hotel occupancy and REVPAR.
Additional key performance indicators at MGM China are:
•Gaming revenue indicators - MGM China utilizes “turnover,” which is the sum of nonnegotiable chip wagers won by MGM China calculated as nonnegotiable chips purchased plus nonnegotiable chips exchanged less
30
nonnegotiable chips returned. Turnover provides a basis for measuring VIP casino win percentage. Win for VIP gaming operations at MGM China is typically in the range of 2.6% to 3.3% of turnover however, reduced gaming volumes as a result of the pandemic could cause volatility in MGM China’s hold percentages.

Consolidated net revenues were $3.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $2.3 billion in the prior year quarter, an increase of 44%. The current quarter benefited from the inclusion of the net revenues of Aria and The Cosmopolitan as well as from comparative increases in business volume and travel activity at our domestic resorts. At MGM China, the current and prior year quarters were significantly impacted by travel and entry restrictions in Macau with the current quarter being more negatively affected by restrictions related to the increased spread of COVID-19. As a result, net revenues at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts increased 113%, Regional Operations increased 12%, and MGM China decreased 54% compared to the prior year quarter.
Consolidated operating income was $2.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $264 million in the prior year quarter. The current quarter benefited from a $2.3 billion gain related to the VICI Transaction and the increase in net revenues, as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in rent expense recorded within general and administrative expense for the Aria, VICI, and The Cosmopolitan leases, which commenced in September 2021, April 2022, and May 2022, respectively, an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and a decrease in income from unconsolidated affiliates. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $83 million compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to the change in useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession and the acquisition of Aria and The Cosmopolitan, partially offset by a decrease resulting from the deconsolidation of MGP in April 2022. Additionally, property transactions, net included a gain of $25 million in the current year quarter and a gain of $29 million in the prior year quarter, each related to a reduction in the estimate of contingent consideration related to the Empire City acquisition.
Consolidated net revenues were $6.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.9 billion in the prior year period, an increase of 56%. The current year period benefited from the inclusion of Aria and The Cosmopolitan, and was initially negatively affected by a decrease in business volume and travel due to the spread of the omicron variant in the early part of the first quarter of the current year period, however, business volumes subsequently improved at our domestic resorts with a significant increase over the prior year period, which was negatively affected by midweek property and hotel closures, lower travel activity, and operational restrictions due to the pandemic. At MGM China, the current and prior year period were significantly impacted by travel and entry restrictions in Macau with the current year period being
31
more negatively affected by restrictions related to the increasing spread of COVID-19. As a result, net revenues at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts increased 145%, Regional Operations increased 18%, and MGM China decreased 32% compared to the prior year period.
Consolidated operating income was $2.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $17 million in the prior year period. The current year period benefited from a $2.3 billion gain related to the VICI Transaction and the increase in net revenues, as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in rent expense recorded within general and administrative expense for the Aria, VICI, and The Cosmopolitan leases, which commenced in September 2021, April 2022, and May 2022, respectively, an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and a decrease in income from unconsolidated affiliates. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $81 million compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the change in useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession and the acquisition of Aria and The Cosmopolitan, partially offset by a decrease resulting from the deconsolidation of MGP in April 2022. Additionally, property transactions, net increased $38 million compared to the prior year period primarily related to a $31 million non-cash impairment charge related to land.

In June 2021, CityCenter closed the sale of its Harmon land, for which we recorded a $50 million gain within our share of operating income from unconsolidated affiliates.
In September 2021, we completed the acquisition of the 50% ownership interest in CityCenter held by Infinity World and now own 100% of the equity interest in CityCenter. Accordingly, we no longer account for our interest in CityCenter under the equity method of accounting, and we now consolidate CityCenter in our financial statements.
In April 2022, we completed the VICI Transaction pursuant to which the assets and liabilities of MGP were derecognized, which included the Operating Partnership’s investment in VICI BREIT Venture. Accordingly, we no longer have an ownership interest in VICI BREIT Venture.
Non-operating Results
Interest Expense
Gross interest expense was $137 million and $203 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $333 million and $399 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease from the respective prior year periods is due primarily to a decrease in debt outstanding as a result of the derecognition of the Operating Partnership’s senior notes in connection with the deconsolidation of MGP. See Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion on long-term debt and see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for discussion on issuances and repayments of long-term debt and other sources and uses of cash.

Other, net
Other expense, net was $43 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and other income, net was $87 million and $120 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The prior year periods included an $86 million gain on investment which was related primarily to the change in measurement of an equity instrument that previously qualified for the measurement alternative under ASC 321, and which was discontinued upon the equity interest having a readily determinable fair value as a result of becoming exchange-traded.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was a provision of 26.1% and 25.3% on income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to a provision of 27.8% on income before income taxes and a benefit of 19.6% on loss before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
The effective rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily by tax expense recorded on the VICI Transaction and was unfavorably impacted by an increase in the valuation allowance for Macau deferred tax assets and by losses in Macau that we could not benefit, partially offset by the favorable impact of a decrease in state deferred tax liabilities as a result of the VICI Transaction.
The effective rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by losses in Macau that we could not benefit, partially offset by the release of tax reserves in conjunction with the closure of a New Jersey state income tax audit.
Reportable segment GAAP measure
“Adjusted Property EBITDAR” is our reportable segment GAAP measure, which we utilize as the primary profit measure for our reportable segments and underlying operating segments. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is a measure defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, gain on REIT transactions, net, rent expense associated with triple-net operating and ground leases, income from unconsolidated affiliates related to investments in real estate ventures, and property transactions, net, and also excludes corporate expense and stock compensation expense, which are not allocated to each operating segment, and rent expense related to the master lease with MGP that eliminated in consolidation. We manage capital allocation, tax planning, stock compensation, and financing decisions at the corporate level. “Adjusted Property EBITDAR margin” is Adjusted Property EBITDAR divided by related segment net revenues.
Non-GAAP measures
“Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR” is Adjusted Property EBITDAR further adjusted to exclude the Adjusted Property EBITDAR of acquired operating segments from the date of acquisition through the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, we have excluded the Adjusted Property EBITDAR of Aria for periods subsequent to its acquisition on September 27, 2021 and The Cosmopolitan subsequent to its acquisition on May 17, 2022 in Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR for the periods indicated.
Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR is a non-GAAP measure and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes this measure is useful in providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations for operating segments that were consolidated for the full period presented to assist users of the financial statements in reviewing operating performance over time. Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance, considered in isolation, or as an alternative to our reportable segment GAAP measure or net income, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because this measure is not presented on a GAAP basis, and is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein. In addition, Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR may not be defined in the same manner by all companies and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies, and such differences may be material. A reconciliation of our reportable segment Adjusted Property EBITDAR GAAP measure to Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR is included herein.
“Adjusted EBITDAR” is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, property transactions, net, gain on REIT transactions, net, rent expense associated with triple-net operating and ground leases, gain related to CityCenter’s sale of Harmon land recorded within
38
income from unconsolidated affiliates, and income from unconsolidated affiliates related to investments in real estate ventures.
Adjusted EBITDAR information is a non-GAAP measure that is a valuation metric, should not be used as an operating metric, and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because we believe this measure is widely used by analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors as a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies. We believe that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAR may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends. Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when we are developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within our resorts, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period. In addition, management excludes rent expense associated with triple-net operating leases and ground leases. Management believes excluding rent expense associated with triple-net operating leases and ground leases provides useful information to analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors when valuing the Company, as well as comparing the Company’s results to other gaming companies, without regard to differences in capital structure and leasing arrangements since the operations of other gaming companies may or may not include triple-net operating leases or ground leases. However, as discussed herein, Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance, an indicator of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to operating income or net income, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles because this measure is not presented on a GAAP basis and excludes certain expenses, including the rent expense associated with our triple-net operating and ground leases, and is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein. In addition, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report Adjusted EBITDAR may calculate Adjusted EBITDAR in a different manner and such differences may be material. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes, real estate triple-net lease and ground lease payments, and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDAR. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAR is included herein.

Guarantor Financial Information
As of June 30, 2022, all of our principal debt arrangements are guaranteed by each of our wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our senior credit facility. Our principal debt arrangements are not guaranteed by MGM Grand Detroit, MGM National Harbor, Blue Tarp reDevelopment, LLC (the entity that owns and operates MGM Springfield), and each of their respective subsidiaries. Our foreign subsidiaries, including MGM China and its subsidiaries, are also not guarantors of our principal debt arrangements. In the event that any subsidiary is no longer a guarantor of our credit facility or any of our future capital markets indebtedness, that subsidiary will be released and relieved of its obligations to guarantee our existing senior notes. The indentures governing the senior notes further provide that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of, or capital stock in a subsidiary guarantor then such subsidiary guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its subsidiary guarantee.
The guarantees provided by the subsidiary guarantors rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of ours or such subsidiary guarantors, junior to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and effectively subordinated to any indebtedness and other obligations of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes. In addition, the obligations of each subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee is limited so as not to constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law, which may eliminate the subsidiary guarantor’s obligations or reduce such obligations to an amount that effectively makes the subsidiary guarantee lack value.
The summarized financial information of us and our guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, is presented below. Prior to the VICI Transaction, certain of our guarantor subsidiaries collectively owned Operating Partnership units and each subsidiary accounted for its respective investment under the equity method within the summarized financial information presented below. These subsidiaries also accounted for the MGP master lease as an operating lease, recording operating lease liabilities and operating ROU assets with the related rent expense of guarantor subsidiaries reflected within the summarized financial information. Additionally, assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale
40
associated with The Mirage and Gold Strike Tunica are included within current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, within the summarized financial information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Operating activities. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but can be affected by changes in working capital, the timing of significant interest payments, and tax payments or refunds. Cash provided by operating activities was $933 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $368 million in the prior year period. The change from the prior year period was due primarily to the increase in Adjusted Property EBITDAR at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts and Regional Operations discussed within the results of operations section above and refunds received from taxes, partially offset by an increase in triple-net lease rent payments.
Investing activities. Our investing cash flows can fluctuate significantly from year to year depending on our decisions with respect to strategic capital investments in new or existing resorts, business acquisitions or dispositions, and the timing of maintenance capital expenditures to maintain the quality of our resorts. Capital expenditures related to regular investments in our existing resorts can also vary depending on timing of larger remodel projects related to our public spaces and hotel rooms.
Cash provided by investing activities was $2.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash used in investing activities of $274 million in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received $4.4 billion in net cash proceeds related to the VICI Transaction, which were partially offset by net cash paid of $1.6 billion to acquire The Cosmopolitan, payments of $237 million in capital expenditures, as further discussed below, and contributions of $150 million to our unconsolidated affiliate, BetMGM, LLC (“BetMGM”). In comparison, in the prior year period we made $183 million in capital expenditures, as further discussed below, and contributions of $100 million to BetMGM.
41
Capital Expenditures
We made capital expenditures of $237 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, of which $16 million related to MGM China. Capital expenditures at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and corporate entities of $221 million primarily relate to expenditures in information technology and room remodels.
We made capital expenditures of $183 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, of which $42 million related to MGM China. Capital expenditures at MGM China included $33 million primarily related to construction of the south tower project at MGM Cotai and $9 million related to projects at MGM Macau. Capital expenditures at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and corporate entities of $141 million primarily relate to expenditures in information technology and room remodels.
Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities was $2.5 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $430 million in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net repayments of debt of $162 million, as further discussed below, distributed $206 million to noncontrolling interest owners, and we repurchased $2.1 billion of our common stock. In comparison, in the prior year period, we had net borrowings of debt of $198 million, as further discussed below, received net proceeds of $793 million from the issuance of MGP’s Class A shares, distributed $156 million to noncontrolling interest owners, and we repurchased $340 million of our common stock.
Borrowings and Repayments of Long-term Debt
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net repayments of debt of $162 million, which consisted of the repayment of $1.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of our 7.75% senior notes due 2022, net draws of $40 million on the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facility, and net borrowings of $798 million on MGM China’s first revolving credit facility to fund an increase in share capital of MGM Grand Paradise pursuant to the capital requirements under the new Macau gaming law and for general corporate purposes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had net borrowings of debt of $198 million, which consisted of MGM China’s March 2021 issuance of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2027 at an issue price of 99.97%, offset by $542 million of net repayments on MGM China’s first revolving credit facility and the Operating Partnership’s repayment of $10 million on its revolving credit facility. The net proceeds from MGM China’s 4.75% senior notes due 2027 issuance were used to partially repay amounts outstanding under the MGM China first revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
Dividends, Distributions to Noncontrolling Interest Owners, and Share Repurchases
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased and retired $2.1 billion of our common stock pursuant to our February 2020 $3.0 billion and March 2022 $2.0 billion stock repurchase programs. In connection with those repurchases, the February 2020 $3.0 billion stock repurchase program was completed. The remaining availability under the March 2022 $2.0 billion stock repurchase program was $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2022.
In March and June 2022 and 2021, we paid dividends of $0.0025 per share, totaling $2 million paid during each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
The Operating Partnership paid the following distributions to its partnership unit holders during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
•$283 million of distributions paid in 2022, of which we received $117 million and MGP received $166 million, which MGP concurrently paid as a dividend to its Class A shareholders; and
•$268 million of distributions paid in 2021, of which we received $128 million and MGP received $140 million, which MGP concurrently paid as a dividend to its Class A shareholders.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Anticipated Uses of Cash
We require a certain amount of cash on hand to operate our resorts. In addition to required cash on hand for operations, we utilize corporate cash management procedures to minimize the amount of cash held on hand or in banks.
42
Funds are swept from the accounts at most of our domestic resorts daily into central bank accounts, and excess funds are invested overnight or are used to repay amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility. In addition, from time to time we may use excess funds to repurchase our outstanding debt and equity securities subject to limitations in our revolving credit facility and Delaware law, as applicable. We have significant outstanding debt, interest payments, rent payments, and contractual obligations in addition to planned capital expenditures and commitments, including the LeoVegas tender offer.
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 billion, of which MGM China held $886 million. In addition to our cash and cash equivalent balance, we have an approximate 56% interest in MGM China.
At June 30, 2022, we had $8.4 billion in principal amount of indebtedness, including $1.2 billion outstanding under the $1.25 billion MGM China first revolving credit facility. No amounts were drawn on our $1.675 billion revolving credit facility or the $400 million MGM China second revolving credit facility. We have $1.25 billion of debt maturing in the next twelve months, which we expect to repay with cash on hand.
Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in February 2022, MGM China further amended each of its first revolving credit facility and its second revolving credit facility to extend the financial covenant waivers through maturity in May 2024.
As of June 30, 2022, our expected cash interest payments over the next twelve months are approximately $255 million to $265 million, excluding MGM China, and approximately $460 million to $470 million on a consolidated basis, which includes MGM China.
We are also required, as of June 30, 2022, to make annual cash rent payments of $1.8 billion over the next twelve months under triple-net lease agreements, which triple-net leases are also subject to annual escalators and also require us to pay substantially all costs associated with the lease, including real estate taxes, ground lease payments, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance, in addition to the annual cash rent. See Note 9 for discussion of our leases and lease obligations and Note 1 and Note 3 for pending transactions.
We have planned capital expenditures expected over the remainder of the year of approximately $525 million to $535 million domestically, which is inclusive of the capital expenditures required under the triple-net lease agreements, each of which requires us to spend a specified percentage of net revenues at the respective domestic properties, and approximately $30 million to $40 million at MGM China, including approximately $11 million of show production costs related to the development of entertainment at the MGM Cotai theater. We additionally have planned contributions to BetMGM over the remainder of the year of approximately $75 million.
We also expect to continue to repurchase shares pursuant to our March 2022 $2.0 billion share repurchase program. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased approximately 5 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $29.32 per share for an aggregate amount of $156 million. Repurchased shares were retired.
On August 3, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.0025 per share. The dividend will be payable on September 15, 2022 to holders of record on September 9, 2022. Future determinations regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
As previously discussed, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is continuing to cause, significant economic disruption both globally and in the United States, and impacted our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows since the onset of the pandemic, which continued in the first half of 2022 and may continue in 2022 and thereafter. As widespread vaccine distribution continues and operational restrictions have been removed, we have seen economic recovery in some of the market segments in which we operate, as shown in our Summary Operating Results. However, some areas continue to experience renewed outbreaks and surges in infection rates, resulting in the imposition of operational restrictions, such as the temporary re-closure of our properties in Macau in July 2022 due to an increase in the number of local COVID-19 cases. As a result, our business segments continue to face many uncertainties and our operations remain vulnerable to reversal of these trends or other continuing negative effects caused by the pandemic. We cannot predict the degree, or duration, to which our operations will be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects could be material. We continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to further adjust our operating plan,
43
including the implementation or extension of new or existing restrictions, which may include the reinstatement of stay-at-home orders in the jurisdictions in which we operate or additional restrictions on travel and/or our business operations. Because the situation is ongoing, and because the duration and severity remain unclear, it is difficult to forecast any impacts on our future results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since year end, other than discussed below.
Long-lived assets - MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession
In connection with the enactment of the new Macau gaming law in June 2022 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 has material changes to the rights and obligation provided for under new gaming concessions to be awarded in the upcoming public tender, we determined that MGM Grand Paradise’s existing gaming subconcession and new gaming concession, if obtained, would be two separate units of account.
Further, as the material changes in the legal and regulatory environment could have an adverse effect on the value of MGM Grand Paradise’s existing gaming subconcession, we concluded that a trigger event had occurred in June 2022 for the MGM China asset group. The gaming subconcession is an entity-wide asset of MGM China as the benefit of the right to conduct gaming provided by the gaming subconcession is shared by each of MGM China’s casino resorts and the cash flows generated by the gaming subconcession cannot be separated from the casino resorts in which gaming operations are conducted. We determined that the real estate is the primary asset of the asset group as the real estate component generates a significant portion of the entity’s cash flows through gaming operations conducted at its casino resorts. Accordingly, cash flows were projected over the remaining useful life of the real estate, including cash flows from gaming operations as we believe we will be successful in obtaining a gaming concession in future public tenders. The estimated undiscounted cash flows of the asset group significantly exceeded the carrying value; accordingly, no impairment was indicated.
There are several estimates inherent in evaluating the gaming subconcession asset for impairment. The determination of the asset group to be tested for recoverability and the primary asset of the asset group are matters of judgment as it is dependent on corporate structure, the legal and regulatory environment in which the entity operates, and the level of interdependency between assets used in revenue generating activities. The determination of the primary asset directly affects the period over which cash flows are forecasted when performing the recoverability test. In particular, future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. In addition, the determination of undiscounted cash flows used in the impairment tests are highly judgmental and dependent in large part on expectations of land concession renewals and successfully obtaining a gaming concession in connection with future public tenders.
Additionally, we reassessed the useful life of the existing gaming subconcession intangible asset and, given the new gaming law and the resulting changes described above, we determined that the useful life would no longer be based on the initial term of the MGM Cotai land concession that ends in January 2038, and that the new useful life is consistent with the remaining contractual term of the existing gaming subconcession, which ends on December 31, 2022. Accordingly, amortization of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession will be recognized on a straight-line basis over its reduced useful life, thereby accelerating the recognition of amortization within our statements of operations.
The determination of the unit of account and useful life of the gaming subconcession are based upon facts and circumstances as of a point in time and may change as such conditions develop, evolve, or change. We have determined the unit of account and useful life based upon the final gaming law and its enactment in June 2022 as the enactment reflects the finalization of the changes in legal form and rights and obligations related to gaming concessions in Macau.
Goodwill - MGM Macau
We continue to conclude, as of June 30, 2022, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of MGM Macau continues to exceed its carrying value and, accordingly, an interim quantitative impairment review of goodwill was not triggered. However, management makes significant judgments and estimates as part of these analyses. If MGM Macau continues to face closures, if its operations do not recover from the impacts of COVID-19 in the forecasted time period, if we are not successful in obtaining a gaming concession in connection with future public tenders, or if our obligations under
44
the new gaming concession exceed those forecasted, it could cause carrying values of the reporting unit to exceed its fair value in future periods, potentially resulting in an impairment charge. In addition, the determination of multiples, control premiums, and the discount rates used in the impairment tests are highly judgmental and dependent in large part on expectations of future market conditions and entity performance.
Market Risk
In addition to the inherent risks associated with our normal operations, we are also exposed to additional market risks. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed rate borrowings and short-term borrowings under our bank credit facilities. A change in interest rates generally does not have an impact upon our future earnings and cash flow for fixed-rate debt instruments. As fixed-rate debt matures, however, and if additional debt is acquired to fund the debt repayment, future earnings and cash flow may be affected by changes in interest rates. This effect would be realized in the periods subsequent to the periods when the debt matures. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions.
As of June 30, 2022, variable rate borrowings represented approximately 14% of our total borrowings. The following table provides additional information about our gross long-term debt subject to changes in interest rates:
| Debt maturing in | Fair Value June 30, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | Thereafter | Total | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Fixed-rate | $ | — | $ | 1,250 | $ | 750 | $ | 1,925 | $ | 1,150 | $ | 2,175 | $ | 7,250 | $ | 6,321 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Average interest rate | N/A | 6.0 | % | 5.4 | % | 6.0 | % | 5.4 | % | 5.0 | % | 5.5 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Average interest rate | N/A | N/A | 3.5 | % | N/A | N/A | N/A | 3.5 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the risk associated with our variable interest rate debt, we are also exposed to risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, mainly related to MGM China and to our operations at MGM Macau and MGM Cotai. While recent fluctuations in exchange rates have not been significant, potential changes in policy by governments or fluctuations in the economies of the United States, China, Macau or Hong Kong could cause variability in these exchange rates. We cannot assure you that the Hong Kong dollar will continue to be pegged to the U.S. dollar or the current peg rate for the Hong Kong dollar will remain at the same level. The possible changes to the peg of the Hong Kong dollar may result in severe fluctuations in the exchange rate thereof. For U.S. dollar denominated debt incurred by MGM China, fluctuations in the exchange rates of the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have adverse effects on our financial position and results of operations. As of June 30, 2022, a 1% weakening of the Hong Kong dollar (the functional currency of MGM China) to the U.S. dollar would result in a foreign currency transaction loss of $28 million.

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “will,” “may” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: statements we make regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our business, expectations regarding the impact of macroeconomic trends on the Company’s business, our ability to execute on ongoing and future strategic initiatives, including the development of an integrated resort in Japan and investments we make in online sports betting and iGaming; the closing of The Mirage, LeoVegas, and Gold Strike Tunica transactions and any benefits expected to be received as a result of those transactions, amounts we will spend on capital expenditures and investments, our expectations with respect to future share repurchases and cash dividends on our common stock, dividends and distributions we will receive from MGM China, our ability to achieve the benefits of our cost savings initiatives, and amounts projected to be realized as deferred tax assets. The foregoing is not a complete list of all forward-looking statements we make.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent
45
uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions and the following:
•our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments, including the fixed component of our rent payments under our triple-net leases and guarantees we provide of the indebtedness of Bellagio BREIT Venture and VICI BREIT Venture could adversely affect our development options and financial results and impact our ability to satisfy our obligations;
•current and future economic, capital and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to service our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments, including the fixed components of our rent payments, and to make planned expenditures;
•restrictions and limitations in the agreements governing our senior credit facility and other senior indebtedness could significantly affect our ability to operate our business, as well as significantly affect our liquidity;
•the fact that we are required to pay a significant portion of our cash flows as rent, which could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations and growth, service our indebtedness and limit our ability to react to competitive and economic changes;
•The Mirage, LeoVegas, and Gold Strike Tunica transactions each remain subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and any anticipated benefits from such transactions may take longer to realize than expected or may not be realized at all;
•the global COVID-19 pandemic has continued to materially impact our business, financial results and liquidity, and such impact could worsen and last for an unknown period of time;
•significant competition we face with respect to destination travel locations generally and with respect to our peers in the industries in which we compete;
•the impact on our business of economic and market conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate and in the locations in which our customers reside;
•the possibility that we may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of our cost savings initiatives, including our MGM 2020 Plan, or our asset light strategy;
•the fact that our ability to pay ongoing regular dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and certain other limitations;
•all of our domestic gaming facilities are leased and could experience risks associated with leased property, including risks relating to lease termination, lease extensions, charges and our relationship with the lessor, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations;
•financial, operational, regulatory or other potential challenges that may arise with respect to landlords under our master leases may adversely impair our operations;
•the concentration of a significant number of our major gaming resorts on the Las Vegas Strip;
•the fact that we extend credit to a large portion of our customers and we may not be able to collect such gaming receivables;
•the potential occurrence of impairments to goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or long-lived assets which could negatively affect future profits;
•the susceptibility of leisure and business travel, especially travel by air, to global geopolitical events, such as terrorist attacks, other acts of violence, acts of war or hostility or outbreaks of infectious disease (including the COVID-19 pandemic);
46
•the fact that co-investing in properties or businesses, including our investment in BetMGM, decreases our ability to manage risk;
•the fact that future construction, development, or expansion projects will be subject to significant development and construction risks;
•the fact that our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all possible losses that our properties could suffer, our insurance costs may increase and we may not be able to obtain similar insurance coverage in the future;
•the fact that a failure to protect our trademarks could have a negative impact on the value of our brand names and adversely affect our business;
•the fact that a significant portion of our labor force is covered by collective bargaining agreements;
•the sensitivity of our business to energy prices and a rise in energy prices could harm our operating results;
•the potential failure of future efforts to expand through investments in other businesses and properties or through alliances or acquisitions, or to divest some of our properties and other assets;
•the potential that failure to maintain the integrity of our computer systems and internal customer information could result in damage to our reputation and/or subject us to fines, payment of damages, lawsuits or other restrictions on our use or transfer of data;
•the potential reputational harm as a result of increased scrutiny related to our corporate social responsibility efforts;
•extreme weather conditions or climate change may cause property damage or interrupt business;
•the fact that our businesses are subject to extensive regulation and the cost of compliance or failure to comply with such regulations could adversely affect our business;
•the risks associated with doing business outside of the United States and the impact of any potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other similar anti-corruption laws;
•increases in gaming taxes and fees in the jurisdictions in which we operate;
•our ability to recognize our foreign tax credit deferred tax asset and the variability of the valuation allowance we may apply against such deferred tax asset;
•changes to fiscal and tax policies;
•risks related to pending claims that have been, or future claims that may be brought against us;
•restrictions on our ability to have any interest or involvement in gaming businesses in China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan, other than through MGM China;
•the ability of the Macau government to terminate MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession under certain circumstances without compensating MGM Grand Paradise, exercise its redemption right with respect to the subconcession, or refuse to grant MGM Grand Paradise a new concession on or prior to December 31, 2022; and
•the potential for conflicts of interest to arise because certain of our directors and officers are also directors of MGM China.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
You should also be aware that while we from time to time communicate with securities analysts, we do not disclose to them any material non-public information, internal forecasts or other confidential business information. Therefore, you should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst, irrespective of the content of the
47
statement or report. To the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain projections, forecasts or opinions, those reports are not our responsibility and are not endorsed by us.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We incorporate by reference the information appearing under “Market Risk” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) were effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and regulations and to provide that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. This conclusion is based on an evaluation as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act conducted under the supervision and participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer along with company management.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In making our assessment of changes in internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, we have excluded The Cosmopolitan from our assessment because it was acquired in the second quarter of 2022. The Cosmopolitan represented approximately 11% of our total assets at June 30, 2022 and approximately 5% and 2% of our total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
48
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See discussion of legal proceedings in Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
A description of certain factors that may affect our future results and risk factors is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to those factors previously disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $2.0 billion stock repurchase program in March 2022 and a $3.0 billion stock repurchase program in February 2020, and, in connection with repurchases made during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the February 2020 $3.0 billion stock repurchase program was completed. Under the stock repurchase programs, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated agreements. Repurchases of common stock may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be purchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing, volume and nature of stock repurchases will be at the sole discretion of management, dependent on market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. All shares repurchased by the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were purchased pursuant to the Company’s publicly announced stock repurchase programs and have been retired.

APPENDIX A
“Sub Plan for Prior MGP Deferred Compensation Accounts”
Special Provisions for Accounts Transferred from
MGM Growth Properties LLC 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors
A-1. Introduction. The Plan is hereby amended to provide for the assumption of deferred compensation benefits of the Non-Employee Directors listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Designated Directors”) that have previously accrued under the MGM Growth Properties LLC 2016 Deferred Compensation Plan For Non-Employee Directors (the “MGP Plan”), effective as of immediately prior to the REIT Merger Effective Time, but subject to consummation of the REIT Merger (as such terms are defined in the Master Transaction Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2021, by and among MGM, MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”), VICI Properties Inc., and certain other parties) (the “Effective Time”).
A-2. Assumption of MGP Accounts. Effective as of the Effective Time, the outstanding account balances of the Designated Directors under the MGP Plan (the “MGP Accounts”) have been assigned to, and assumed by, the Plan, consistent with the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement entered into between the Company and MGP dated April 27, 2022.
A-3. Establishment of MGP Accounts. Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company has adopted and established the MGP Accounts, which should constitute Deferred Compensation Accounts under Article III of the Plan for each of the Designated Directors. The MGP Accounts shall be maintained and administered in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as modified by this Appendix A. The MGP Accounts shall be accounted for separately from any other Deferred Compensation Accounts maintained for any Designated Director pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
A-4. Allocation of MGP Accounts. The amounts allocated to the MGP Accounts for each Designated Director shall be equal to the account balances of the Designated Director held in the MGP Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shall equal the aggregate “REIT Per Share Merger Consideration” paid pursuant to the Transaction Agreement in respect of the MGP deferred stock units allocated to the Designated Director under the terms of the MGP Plan at such time. The amounts so allocated shall then be held under the Plan and invested in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as modified by this Appendix A.
A-5. Investment of MGP Accounts. As soon as administratively practicable prior to the Effective Time, the Designated Directors shall be permitted to allocate the balances of their MGP Accounts to one or more Measurement Funds, in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator pursuant to the Plan. If the Designated Directors fail to allocate the account balance of their MGP Accounts prior to the Effective Time, the MGP Accounts shall be allocated to the Principal Preservation Separate Account (Stable Value Fund), which is a Measurement Fund maintained pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Plan, as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MGP Accounts may not be elected for allocation to the Deferred Stock Unit Measurement Fund or Fixed Interest Crediting Rate Fund maintained under the Plan at the Effective Time or thereafter.
A-6. Distribution of MGP Accounts. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article IV of the Plan, the form and timing of the distribution of the MGP Accounts to the Designated Directors shall be in accordance with the distribution elections made by the Designated Directors under the MGP Plan, which have been assumed by and made a part of this Plan and shall be reflected in the books and records of the Plan by the Administrator.
A-7. Rabbi Trust. Assets in respect of the amounts allocated under the MGP Accounts for the Designated Directors shall be transferred as of the Effective Time (or, if later, when paid pursuant to the Transaction Agreement) into the trust maintained pursuant to the Amended and Restated Rabbi Trust Agreement dated as of July 2, 2012, by and between MGM and Matrix Trust Company, a Colorado corporation, for the purpose of funding the obligations to the Designated Directors assumed under the Plan by this Exhibit A.
A-8. Other Deferred Compensation Accounts. The terms and conditions of this Appendix A shall apply solely to the MGP Accounts of the Designated Directors, which shall be accounted for separately as provided hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any other Deferred Compensation Accounts of the Designated Directors shall be governed by the otherwise applicable terms of the Plan.
