Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Operations
We view each of our Integrated Resort properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands.
Macao
The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao increased approximately 16.9% and 18.4%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue increased 12.5% and 7.1%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024.
Singapore
Airlift passenger movement has increased with a total of 52 million passengers having passed through Singapore’s Changi Airport for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 4.4% compared to the same period in 2024.
The Singapore Tourism Board (“STB”) announced total visitation to Singapore was 4.5 million and 12.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 3.0% and 2.3% from the same periods in 2024.
Summary
Our Macao operations continue to face a competitive casino operating environment, with adjusted property EBITDA having increased $16 million compared with the three months ended September 30, 2024 and having decreased $54 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Our Singapore operations continue to deliver exceptional results in terms of adjusted property EBITDA, having increased $337 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $601 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with the key driver being an increase in gross gaming revenue.
We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.35 billion as of September 30, 2025 and access to $1.50 billion, $2.51 billion and $456 million of available borrowing capacity from our 2024 LVSC Revolving Facility, 2024 SCL Revolving Facility and 2025 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively. We believe we are able to support our continuing operations, complete the major construction projects that are underway and maintain our share repurchase and dividend programs to continue to return excess capital to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 7, 2025.
There were no newly identified significant accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2024 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Operating Results
Key Operating Revenue Measurements
Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands are dependent upon the volume of patrons who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by the volume of gaming patrons who visit the property on a daily basis.
Management utilizes the following volume and pricing measures in order to evaluate past performance and assist in forecasting future revenues. The various volume measurements indicate our ability to attract patrons to our Integrated Resorts. In casino operations, win and hold percentages indicate the amount of revenue to be expected based on volume. In hotel operations, average daily rate and revenue per available room indicate the demand for rooms and our ability to capture that demand. In mall operations, base rent per square foot indicates our ability to attract and maintain profitable tenants for our leasable space.
The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:
Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.
We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip table games are expected to produce a win percentage of 3.3% in Macao. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we revised our expected hold-adjusted win percentage for Singapore to be based on the theoretical hold percentage measured by technology-enabled tables (“smart tables”). The theoretical hold percentage based on smart table data was 4.2% and 3.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in Singapore. Our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 23.5%, 22.8%, 21.6%, 23.9%, 15.7% and 23.1% at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage of 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.8%, 2.4%, 2.9% and 4.2% at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win and hold percentages may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 8.8% and 11.3%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

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. Our primary exposures to market risk are interest rate risk associated with our debt and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our operations outside the United States, which we may manage through the use of futures, options, caps, forward contracts and similar instruments. 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 September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $15.76 billion, compared to its contractual value of $15.78 billion. The estimated fair value of our debt is based on recent trades, if available, and indicative pricing from market information (level 2 inputs). A hypothetical 100 basis point change in market rates would cause the fair value of our debt to change by $281 million. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), HIBOR and SORA would cause our annual interest cost on our debt to change by approximately $54 million.
Foreign currency transaction losses were $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to U.S. dollar denominated debt issued by SCL. We may be vulnerable to changes in the USD/SGD and U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rates. There were no material balances denominated in U.S. dollars related to our Singapore operations as of September 30, 2025; however, these balances fluctuate to support our operations. Based on balances as of September 30, 2025, a hypothetical 1% weakening of the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $9 million (net of the impact from the foreign currency swap agreements). The pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar (within a narrow range). We maintain a significant amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have obligations, thereby reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Company as of September 30, 2025, and have concluded they are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
It should be noted any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that had a material effect, or were reasonably likely to have a material effect, on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
