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. We also offer online gaming and sports betting through LeoVegas, our consolidated subsidiary, as well as through BetMGM, our unconsolidated affiliate.

Impact of COVID-19 - Update

As of September 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 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. On October 30, 2022, a COVID-19 case was identified as connected to MGM Cotai. All guests and staff were isolated until November 1, 2022 and all gaming, hotel, restaurant, and retail operations were suspended with limited operations expected to resume beginning November 3, 2022. More broadly, electronic applications for individual and group travel visas to Macau resumed on November 1, 2022, however, several travel and entry restrictions in Macau and mainland China remain in place, including COVID-19 testing and certain quarantine requirements, which have significantly impacted visitation to our Macau properties. Although gaming operations in Macau have resumed and certain restrictions on visa applications have been lifted, protective and operational measures have had a negative effect on MGM China’s operations. The extent and timing of further closures 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 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 submitted its bid on September 14, 2022, and believes that MGM Grand Paradise will be successful in obtaining a gaming concession. 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.”

In September 2022, we acquired LeoVegas through a tender offer at a cash price of SEK 61 per share, for a total fair value of equity interests acquired of approximately $556 million, inclusive of cash settlement of equity awards. See Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of this transaction.

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 to remove The Mirage and reflect a $90 million reduction in annual cash rent. See Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of the transaction.

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

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 September 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 September 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 September 30, 2022 and approximately 9% and 5% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.

Under the stock repurchase plans, 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 September 30, 2022 were purchased pursuant to the Company’s publicly announced stock repurchase plan and have been retired.
