Description of our business and key performance indicators

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.

Financial Impact of COVID-19

The spread of COVID-19 and developments surrounding the global pandemic have had a significant impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows since the onset of the pandemic, which continued in the first quarter of 2022 and may continue during the remainder of 2022 and thereafter. In the first quarter of 2022, all of our 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.

Although all of our properties have re-opened, in light of the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, including the emergence and spread of COVID-19 variants, the properties may be subject to new operating restrictions and/or temporary, complete, or partial shutdowns in the future. At this time, we cannot predict whether jurisdictions, states or the federal government will adopt similar or more restrictive measures in the future than in the past, including stay-at-home orders or the temporary closure of all or a portion of our properties as a result of the pandemic.

In Macau, our properties continue to operate subject to certain health safeguards, such as limiting the number of seats available at each table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, and health declarations submitted through the Macau Health Code system. Although the issuance of tourist visas (including the individual visit scheme) for residents of mainland China to travel to Macau resumed in 2020, several travel and entry restrictions in Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China remain in place (including the temporary suspension of ferry services between Hong Kong and Macau, the negative nucleic acid test result certificate, and mandatory quarantine requirements for returning residents, for visitors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and certain regions in mainland China, and bans on entry on other visitors), which significantly impacted visitation to our Macau properties. Macau is currently operating under a "dynamic zero" COVID-19 policy, as is Hong Kong and mainland China. Under this policy, when local infections are identified several restrictions may be imposed, including the lock down of sections of cities or entire cities and travel restrictions, imposition of mass mandatory nucleic acid testing, shortening of the validity period of negative test results for re-entry into mainland China from Macau and imposition of quarantine requirements, cancellation or suspension of certain events and, in some instances, closing of certain entertainment and leisure facilities. Although gaming and hotel operations have remained open during these states of immediate prevention, such measures have had a negative effect on MGM China's operations and it is uncertain whether further closures, including the closure of our properties, or travel restrictions to Macau will be implemented if additional local COVID-19 cases are identified.

Other Developments

In April 2022, we completed a series of transactions with VICI Properties, Inc. ("VICI") and MGP whereby VICI acquired MGP. MGP Class A shareholders received 1.366 shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for each MGP Class A share outstanding and we received 1.366 units of the new VICI operating partnership (“VICI OP”) in exchange for each Operating Partnership unit previously held by us. 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 our VICI OP units for cash consideration of $4.4 billion, with us retaining an approximate 1% ownership interest in VICI OP with a fair value of approximately $375 million. MGP’s Class B share that was previously held by us was cancelled. Accordingly, the Company no longer holds a controlling interest in MGP and deconsolidated MGP upon the closing of the April 2022 transactions.

As part of the transactions, we entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI. The new master lease has an initial term of 25 years, with three 10-year renewals, and initial annual rent of $860 million, escalating annually at a rate of 2% per annum for the first 10 years and thereafter equal to the greater of 2% and the CPI increase during the prior year subject to a cap of 3%. The lease has a triple-net structure, which requires us to pay substantially all costs associated with each property, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance, in addition to the rent. Additionally, we are required to pay the rent payments under the ground leases of Borgata, Beau Rivage, and National Harbor.

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 COVID-19 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.
