Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to, inputs into the Company's estimated allowance for deferred tax assets and credit losses, estimates regarding the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, valuations of derivatives, and litigation and contingency estimates.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company held $500.0 million in fixed deposits, recorded at fair value. The Company received proceeds of $300.0 million upon the maturity of its investments in debt securities and $50.0 million upon the maturity of its investments in fixed deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company held $550.0 million in fixed deposits, recorded at fair value, and $295.2 million in debt securities, recorded at amortized cost within Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to impairment testing annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that this asset may be impaired. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a goodwill balance of $18.5 no

Note 13 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, adjusted for the potential dilutive impact assuming that the conversion of the WML Convertible Bonds occurred at the later of the date of issuance or beginning of the period presented under the if-converted method, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive securities had been issued, to the extent such impact is not anti-dilutive. Other potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock.
The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS consisted of the following (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Litigation
In addition to the actions noted below, the Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Securities Class Action
On February 20, 2018, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers of the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (which was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court, District of Nevada) by John V. Ferris and Joann M. Ferris on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between February 28, 2014 and January 25, 2018. The complaint alleges, among other things, certain violations of federal securities laws and seeks to recover unspecified damages as well as attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. On April 15, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, which the court granted on May 27, 2020, with leave to amend. On July 1, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On August 14, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 28, 2021, the court granted in part, and denied in part, the Company's motion to dismiss the amended complaint, dismissing certain of plaintiffs' claims, including all claims against current CEO Craig Billings and the individual directors, and allowing other claims to proceed against the Company and several of the Company's former executive officers, including Matthew Maddox, Stephen A. Wynn, Kimmarie Sinatra, and Steven Cootey. On March 2, 2023, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification and appointed lead counsel. The parties are now proceeding with discovery.
The defendants in this action intend to vigorously defend against the claims pleaded against them and believe that the claims are without merit. This action is in the preliminary stages and the Company has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the range of possible loss, if any.
Federal Investigation
From time to time, the Company receives regulatory inquiries about compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The Company received requests for information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California relating to its anti-money laundering policies and procedures, and beginning in 2020 received several grand jury subpoenas regarding various transactions at Wynn Las Vegas relating to certain patrons and agents who reside or operate in foreign jurisdictions. The Company continues to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's Office in its investigation, which remains ongoing. Because no charges or claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation, the extent of the materiality of the outcome, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company.
Note 16 - Retail Joint Venture
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Retail Joint Venture had total assets of $104.3 million and $102.5 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $621.8 million and $621.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Retail Joint Venture's liabilities included long-term debt of $614.4 million and $614.1 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs, related to the outstanding borrowings under the Retail Term Loan.

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

Overview
We are a designer, developer, and operator of integrated resorts featuring luxury hotel rooms, high-end retail space, an array of dining and entertainment options, meeting and convention facilities, and gaming, all supported by an unparalleled focus on our guests, our people, and our community. Through our approximately 72% ownership of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), our concessionaire Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA") operates two integrated resorts in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Macau"), Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau (collectively, our "Macau Operations"). In Las Vegas, Nevada, we operate and, with the exception of certain retail space, own 100% of Wynn Las Vegas. We are a 50.1% owner and managing member of a joint venture that owns and leases certain retail space at Wynn Las Vegas (the "Retail Joint Venture"). We refer to Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture as our Las Vegas Operations. In Everett, Massachusetts, we operate Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort. The results of Wynn Interactive Ltd. ("Wynn Interactive") are included in Corporate and other.
The Company has a 40% equity interest in Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC ("Island 3"), an unconsolidated affiliate, which is constructing an integrated resort property ("Wynn Al Marjan Island") in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
Key Operating Measures
Certain key operating measures specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussion of our operational performance for the periods for which the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are presented. These key operating measures are presented as supplemental disclosures because management and/or certain investors use these measures to better understand period-over-period fluctuations in our casino and hotel operating revenues. These key operating measures are defined below:
•Table drop in mass market for our Macau Operations is the amount of cash that is deposited in a gaming table's drop box plus cash chips purchased at the casino cage.
•Table drop for our Las Vegas Operations is the amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
•Table drop for Encore Boston Harbor is the amount of cash and gross markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
•Rolling chips are non-negotiable identifiable chips that are used to track turnover for purposes of calculating incentives within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
•Turnover is the sum of all losing rolling chip wagers within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
•Table games win is the amount of table drop or turnover that is retained and recorded as casino revenues. Table games win is before discounts, commissions and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis. Table games win does not include poker rake.
•Slot machine win is the amount of handle (representing the total amount wagered) that is retained by us and is recorded as casino revenues. Slot machine win is after adjustment for progressive accruals and free play, but before discounts and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.
•Poker rake is the portion of cash wagered by patrons in our poker rooms that is retained by the casino as a service fee, after adjustment for progressive accruals, but before the allocation of casino revenues to rooms,
food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis. Poker tables are not included in our measure of average number of table games.
•Average daily rate ("ADR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms occupied.
•Revenue per available room ("REVPAR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms available.
•Occupancy is calculated by dividing total occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by the total rooms available.
Below is a discussion of the methodologies used to calculate win percentages at our resorts.
In our mass market operations in Macau, customers may purchase cash chips at either the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The measurements from our VIP and mass market operations are not comparable as the measurement method used in our mass market operations tracks the initial purchase of chips at the table and at the casino cage, while the measurement method from our VIP operations tracks the sum of all losing wagers. Accordingly, the base measurement from the VIP operations is much larger than the base measurement from the mass market operations. As a result, the expected win percentage with the same amount of gaming win is lower in the VIP operations when compared to the mass market operations.
In our VIP operations in Macau, customers primarily purchase rolling chips from the casino cage and can only use them to make wagers. Winning wagers are paid in cash chips. The loss of the rolling chips in the VIP operations is recorded as turnover and provides a base for calculating VIP win percentage. It is customary in Macau to measure VIP play using this rolling chip method. We typically expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 3.1% to 3.4%.
In Las Vegas, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers at the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The cash and markers, net of redemptions, used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 22% to 26%.
At Encore Boston Harbor, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers only at the casino cage. The cash and gross markers used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 18% to 22%.

The increase in operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by increases of $79.7 million and $35.7 million from Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively, resulting from an increase in mass market gaming volumes and covers at our restaurants. Since the elimination of COVID-19 related protective measures by Macau authorities in January 2023, visitation to Macau and to our Macau Operations has continued to improve, resulting in increased business
volumes at our Macau Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating revenues at our Las Vegas Operations also increased $50.6 million primarily due to increases in ADR and restaurant covers.
The increase in net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to increased operating revenues at our Macau Operations and our Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to increased operating costs associated with higher business volumes at our properties, partially offset by decreased entertainment, retail and other expenses related to Wynn Interactive following the closure of WynnBET, Wynn Interactive's digital sports betting and casino gaming business, in certain jurisdictions.
Casino expenses increased $43.5 million and $22.5 million at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively. These increases resulted from higher operating costs, including $36.3 million and $17.0 million in incremental gaming tax expense at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively, driven by the increase in casino revenues.
Room expenses increased $6.5 million at our Las Vegas Operations as a result of higher operating costs, commensurate with the increase in room revenues.
Food and beverage expenses increased $11.0 million and $6.0 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Macau Operations, respectively, as a result of higher operating costs related to increases in food and beverage revenues.
Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $35.5 million at Corporate and other as a result of decreased operating costs related to Wynn Interactive. This decrease is partially offset by an increase of $12.8 million at our Las Vegas Operations primarily due to increased entertainment venue and convention-related revenue.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $9.5 million at our Las Vegas Operations attributable to payroll, marketing-related costs, and other general and administrative expenses. This increase was partially offset by decreases of $2.9 million and $1.3 million at Encore Boston Harbor and our Macau Operations, respectively.
Property charges and other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 consisted primarily of $61.5 million of expensed project costs related to a discontinued development project, partially offset by a gain of $24.6 million related to the sale of certain Wynn Interactive assets, both included in Corporate and other. Property charges and other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of asset abandonments of $6.6 million and $1.1 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Palace, respectively, as well as contract termination and other expenses of $6.5 million at Wynn Macau.
Other non-operating income and expenses
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, decreased $15.6 million primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance, from $12.50 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to $11.43 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
We recorded interest income of $34.9 million and $44.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily related to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions.
We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement gain of $8.7 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities drove the variability between periods.
We recorded a gain of $15.5 million and $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from change in derivatives fair value, primarily related to the conversion feature of the WML Convertible Bonds.
We recorded a $3.4 million loss on debt financing transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to the issuance of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes and the repurchase of the tendered 2025 WRF Senior Notes.
Income taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $7.9 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily related to our U.S. based operating profits.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $34.3 million and $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net income attributable to WML.

Food and beverage revenues increased $58.7 million, primarily due to increased restaurant covers and average check amounts at our Las Vegas Operations and our Macau Operations.
Entertainment, retail and other revenues decreased $15.7 million primarily due to $30.1 million of decreased operating revenues at Wynn Interactive following the closure of Wynn Interactive's digital sports betting and casino gaming business in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by a $13.7 million increase in operating revenues from entertainment venue and convention-related sales at our Las Vegas Operations.

The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to increased operating costs associated with higher business volumes at our properties, partially offset by decreased entertainment, retail and other expenses related to Wynn Interactive following the closure of WynnBET, Wynn Interactive's digital sports betting and casino gaming business, in certain jurisdictions.
Casino expenses increased $154.6 million and $105.8 million at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively. These increases resulted from higher operating costs, including increases of $138.6 million and $95.6 million in incremental gaming tax expense at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively, driven by the increase in casino revenues.
Room expenses increased $14.3 million at our Las Vegas Operations as a result of higher operating costs, commensurate with the increase in room revenues.
Food and beverage expenses increased $29.0 million and $13.3 million at our Las Vegas Operations and our Macau Operations, respectively, as a result of higher operating costs related to increases in food and beverage revenues.
Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $66.7 million at Corporate and other as a result of decreased operating costs related to Wynn Interactive. This decrease is partially offset by an increase of $17.9 million at our Las Vegas Operations primarily due to entertainment venue and convention-related revenue.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $11.9 million at our Las Vegas Operations, attributable to payroll, including stock-based compensation, marketing-related costs, and other general and administrative expenses. In addition, general and administrative expenses increased $9.3 million at Corporate and other, primarily due to an increase in payroll and other general and administrative expenses.
Property charges and other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted primarily of $61.5 million of expensed project costs related to a discontinued development project, partially offset by a gain of $24.6 million related to the sale of certain Wynn Interactive assets, both included in Corporate and other. Property charges and other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of asset abandonments of $6.7 million and $3.4 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Palace, respectively, as well as contract termination and other expenses of $6.5 million at Wynn Macau.
Other non-operating income and expenses
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, decreased $21.0 million primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance, from $12.55 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $11.68 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the effect of which was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate from 6.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to 6.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We recorded interest income of $75.1 million and $84.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily related to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions.
We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement gain of $4.0 million and a loss of $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities primarily drove the variability between periods.
We recorded a loss of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from change in derivatives fair value, primarily related to the interest rate collar on the Retail Term Loan. We recorded a gain of $47.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from change in derivatives fair value, primarily related to the conversion feature of the WML Convertible Bonds.
We recorded a $1.6 million loss on debt financing transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily related to the issuance of the 2031 Add-On WRF Senior Notes and the repurchase of the tendered 2025 WLV Senior Notes. We recorded a $15.6 million loss on debt financing transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to the issuance of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes and the repurchase of the early tendered 2025 WRF Senior Notes.
Income taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $27.9 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income tax expense in 2024 and 2023 primarily related to U.S. operating profits.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $66.6 million and $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net income from WML.
Segment Information
As further described in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 17, "Segment Information," we use Adjusted Property EBITDAR to manage the operating results of our segments. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other (including intercompany golf course, meeting and convention, and water rights leases), stock-based compensation, change in derivatives fair value, loss on debt financing transactions, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDAR as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDAR because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDAR as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDAR calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDAR should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDAR does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDAR. Also, our calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDAR may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
The following table summarizes Adjusted Property EBITDAR (dollars in thousands) for Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas Operations, Encore Boston Harbor, and Corporate and other as reviewed by management and summarized in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 17, "Segment Information." That footnote also presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDAR to net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.

Adjusted Property EBITDAR at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau increased $27.9 million and $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $119.2 million and $98.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues of $79.7 million and $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $297.2 million and $216.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Since the elimination of COVID-19 related protective measures by Macau authorities in January 2023, visitation to Macau and to our Macau Operations has improved, resulting in increased business volumes at our Macau Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted Property EBITDAR at our Las Vegas Operations increased $6.2 million and $20.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to an increase in non-casino revenues of $58.9 million and $128.0 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Adjusted Property EBITDAR at Encore Boston Harbor decreased $7.0 million and $7.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in casino revenues of $13.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.
Adjusted Property EBITDAR at Corporate and other increased $13.8 million and $32.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in marketing and promotional expense of $10.9 million and $26.4 million, respectively, related to Wynn Interactive following our decision, announced in August 2023, to close WynnBET, Wynn Interactive's digital sports betting and casino gaming business, in certain jurisdictions.

Operating Activities
Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income (excluding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges), interest paid and earned, and changes in working capital accounts such as receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, and payables. Our table games play is a mix of cash play and credit play, while our slot machine play is conducted primarily on a cash basis. A significant portion of our table games revenue is attributable to the play of a limited number of premium customers who gamble on credit. The ability to collect these gaming receivables may impact our operating cash flow for the period. Our rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other revenue is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Accordingly, operating cash flows will be impacted by changes in operating income and accounts receivable, net.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to increased revenues from our Macau Operations and our Las Vegas Operations, which was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses associated with higher business volumes. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to increased revenues from our Macau Operations, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, which was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses associated with higher business volumes.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities primarily consist of project capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures associated with maintaining and continually refining our world-class integrated resort properties.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred capital expenditures of $59.1 million at our Las Vegas Operations, $22.1 million at Encore Boston Harbor, $49.4 million at Wynn Palace, and $28.3 million at Wynn Macau primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures, and $32.4 million at Corporate and other primarily related to future development projects. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we contributed $429.0 million in cash to Island 3 and received proceeds of $300.0 million and $50.0 million upon the maturity of our investments in debt securities and fixed deposits, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred capital expenditures of $96.1 million at our Las Vegas Operations, $41.3 million at Encore Boston Harbor, $14.1 million at Wynn Palace, and $8.9 million at Wynn Macau primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures, and $55.0 million at Corporate and other primarily related to future development projects. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, we purchased $286.5 million in investment securities.

Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, investments, and available revolver borrowing capacity, excluding capacity under intercompany loan agreements, presented by significant financing entity as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

(1) Investments consist of investments in fixed deposits maturing in less than one year.
(2) Excluding Wynn Macau, Limited and subsidiaries.
Wynn Macau, Limited and subsidiaries. WML generates cash from our Macau Operations and may utilize proceeds from the WM Cayman II Revolver to fund working capital requirements as needed. We expect to use this cash to service our WML Senior Notes, WM Cayman II Revolver, and WML Convertible Bonds, to pay dividends to shareholders of WML (of which we own approximately 72%), and to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements at WML and our Macau Operations. In July 2024, the Company repaid approximately $40.0 million of outstanding WM Cayman II Revolver borrowings.
WML is a holding company and, as a result, its ability to pay dividends to WRF is dependent on WML receiving distributions from its subsidiaries. WML, as guarantor under the WM Cayman II Revolver facility agreement, may be subject to certain restrictions on payments of dividends or distributions to its shareholders, unless certain financial criteria have been satisfied. The WM Cayman II Revolver facility agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for similar financings, including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness to be incurred by WM Cayman II or its subsidiaries.
In May 2024, the WML Board of Directors announced an amendment to WML's dividend policy, pursuant to which the WML Board of Directors will meet semiannually to consider the declaration of dividends, and may also meet at any time during the year as the WML Board of Directors deems fit to consider the declaration of special dividends. On June 19, 2024, WML paid a cash dividend of HK$0.075 per share for a total U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $50.4 million in respect of the year ended December 31, 2023. Our share of this dividend was $36.0 million.
If our portion of cash available for repatriation was repatriated on June 30, 2024, it would be subject to minimal U.S. taxes.
Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC and subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC ("WRF" or "Wynn Resorts Finance") generates cash from distributions from its subsidiaries, which include our Macau Operations, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor, and capital contributions from Wynn Resorts, as required. In addition, WRF may utilize its available revolving borrowing capacity as needed. We expect to use this cash to service our WRF Credit Facilities, the WRF Senior Notes, and the Wynn Las Vegas Senior Notes, and to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements as needed.
WRF is a holding company and, as a result, its ability to pay dividends to Wynn Resorts is dependent on WRF receiving distributions from its subsidiaries. The WRF Credit Agreement contains customary negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict WRF's ability to pay dividends or distributions and incur additional indebtedness.
In February 2024, WRF issued an additional $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 WRF Add-On Senior Notes") in a private offering. The 2031 WRF Add-On Senior Notes were issued at a price equal to 103.0% of the principal amount, for net proceeds of approximately $409.5 million.
In February and March 2024, we repurchased $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5 1/2% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 WLV Senior Notes"), which consisted of i) $681.0 million aggregate principal amount of validly tendered notes repurchased at a price equal to 97.2% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest and an early tender premium of $20.3 million, and ii) $119.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased on a pro-rata basis at a price equal of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest under the terms of its indenture. Included in the $119.0 million repurchase was $3.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 WLV Senior Notes held by Wynn Resorts. We used the net proceeds from the 2031 WRF Add-On Senior Notes and cash held by WRF to purchase such validly tendered 2025 WLV Senior Notes and to pay the early tender premium and related fees and expenses.
Wynn Resorts, Limited and other subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts, Limited is a holding company and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends is dependent on our ability to obtain funds and our subsidiaries' ability to provide funds to us. Wynn Resorts, Limited and other primarily generates cash from royalty (including intellectual property license) and management agreements with our resorts, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries, and the operations of the Retail Joint Venture of which we own 50.1%. Fees payable by Wynn Macau SA to Wynn Resorts, Limited under its intellectual property license agreement are capped at $140.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2024. We expect to use cash held by Wynn Resorts, Limited and other to service our Retail Term Loan, to fund working capital needs of our subsidiaries, pay dividends, make required capital contributions to the entity which owns the Wynn Al Marjan Island development, and for general corporate purposes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company determined not to proceed with its planned phased development project adjacent to Encore Boston Harbor, and expensed $61.5 million of costs, including $4.7 million of internally allocated overhead, that had been previously capitalized.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company contributed $356.5 million of cash into Island 3, bringing our life-to-date cash contributions to $514.4 million. The cash contributed in the quarter was used primarily to fund our pro rata portion of the purchase of approximately 155 acres of land underlying the Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort development site, including the remaining 70 acres of land on Island 3 for potential future development (the "Marjan Land Bank"). We estimate our remaining 40% pro-rata share of the required equity is approximately $900 million, inclusive of capitalized interest, fees, and certain improvements on the Island. Wynn Al Marjan Island is currently expected to open in 2027.
The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share in each of the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and recorded $28.0 million in each period, against accumulated deficit. On August 6, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on its common stock, payable on August 30, 2024 to stockholders of record as of August 19, 2024.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity
We may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.
Legal proceedings in which we are involved also may impact our liquidity. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such proceedings. In addition, litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies."
In April 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.00 billion. Under the equity repurchase program, we may repurchase the Company's outstanding shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As of June 30, 2024, we had $365.4 million in repurchase authority remaining under the program.
We have in the past repurchased, and in the future, we may periodically consider repurchasing our outstanding notes for cash. The amount of any shares and/or notes to be repurchased, as well as the timing of any repurchases, will be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price, contractual requirements or consents, and capital availability.
New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in domestic and international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any new development may
require us to obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts, Limited or through subsidiaries separate from the Las Vegas, Boston or Macau-related entities.
Contractual Commitments
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, except as described below, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our fixed interest rate long-term debt obligations decreased by a net amount of $396.7 million, as a result of $796.7 million in debt repayments in connection with the repurchase of the 2025 WLV Senior Notes, net of $400.0 million in long-term debt issuances in connection with the issuance of the 2031 Add-On Senior Notes, as described above. As a result, our annual fixed interest payments are expected to decrease $12.5 million for 2024, and increase $21.2 million in 2025, $28.5 million in each of 2026, 2027, and 2028, and $60.6 million thereafter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A description of our critical accounting policies is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to these policies for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
See related disclosure in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" of Part I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.
Additional information about market risks to which we are exposed is included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Interest Rate Risks
One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, supplemented by hedging activities as believed by us to be appropriate. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
As of June 30, 2024, approximately 77% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2024 and an interest rate collar on the Retail Term Loan, an assumed 100 basis point change in the variable rates would cause our annual interest expense to change by $19.7 million.
In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Retail Term Loan, the Company entered into an interest rate collar with a notional value of $615.0 million. The interest rate collar establishes a range whereby the Company will pay the counterparty if one-month SOFR falls below the established floor rate of 1.00%, and the counterparty will pay the Company if one-month SOFR exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.67%.
Foreign Currency Risks
We expect most of the revenues and expenses for any casino that we operate in Macau will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars or Macau patacas; however, a significant portion of the debt issued by WML is denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rates resulting in weakening of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have materially adverse effects on our results, financial condition and ability to service debt. Based on our balances
as of June 30, 2024, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of $46.5 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are occasionally party to lawsuits. As with all litigation, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such matters and we note that litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding the Company's legal proceedings see Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" of Part I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
A description of our risk factors can be found in Item 1A, Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no material changes to those risk factors during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
