Overview of strategic business developments

In February 2023, we completed the sale of the operations of Gold Strike Tunica to CNE for cash consideration of $450 million, or $474 million, net of purchase price adjustments and transaction costs. At closing, the master lease with VICI was amended to remove Gold Strike Tunica and reflect a $40 million reduction in annual cash rent. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this transaction.

In April 2023, the Japanese government officially certified the Area Development Plan (“ADP”) previously submitted by the city/prefecture of Osaka, Japan and our 50% owned venture.

In April 2023, LeoVegas entered into an agreement to acquire the majority ownership of digital gaming developer, Push Gaming Holding Limited. The transaction is subject to regulatory and customary approvals and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023.

Impact of COVID-19 - Update

On January 8, 2023, Macau lifted the majority of its COVID-19 pandemic travel and quarantine restrictions with the exception of overseas visitors travelling from outside of mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan being required to present a negative nucleic acid test or rapid antigen test result, and on February 6, 2023 all remaining COVID-19 travel restrictions were removed. As of June 30, 2023, all of our properties were open and not subject to any COVID-19 related operating restrictions.

Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:

• Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop and slot 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; 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.

Results of Operations

Summary Operating Results

The following table summarizes our consolidated operating results:

Consolidated net revenues increased 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to a 418% increase at MGM China as a result of the removal of travel and entry restrictions in Macau, partially offset by a decrease at our Regional Operations of 3% due primarily to the disposition of Gold Strike Tunica. Net revenues at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts were flat.

Consolidated operating income decreased 84% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to a $2.3 billion gain in the prior year quarter related to the VICI Transaction, an increase in rent expense recorded within general and administrative expense for the VICI and The Cosmopolitan leases, which commenced in April 2022 and May 2022, respectively, partially offset by the increase in net revenues, as discussed above, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $163 million compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to the amortization in the prior year quarter related to the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession, which became fully amortized as of December 31, 2022, and the deconsolidation of MGP in April 2022.

Consolidated net revenues increased 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period due primarily to a 230% increase at MGM China as a result of the removal of travel and entry restrictions in Macau, a 14% increase at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts as the current year period benefited from the inclusion of a full year of operating results of The Cosmopolitan, which was partially offset by the disposition of The Mirage, and a 1% increase at our Regional Operations as a result of increases in non-gaming revenues, partially offset by the disposition of Gold Strike Tunica.

Consolidated operating income decreased 56% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due to a $2.3 billion gain in the prior year period related to the VICI Transaction and an increase in rent expense recorded within general and administrative expense for the VICI and The Cosmopolitan leases, partially offset by a $399 million gain in the current year period related to the sale of the operations of Gold Strike Tunica recorded in property transactions, net, the increase in net revenues, as discussed above, and a $248 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased compared to the prior year period due to the deconsolidation of MGP in April 2022 and due to the amortization in the prior year period related to the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession.
