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, 2023, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2024. 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.”

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.

Summary Operating Results

The following table summarizes our consolidated operating results:

			Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
			2024						2023						2024						2023
			(In thousands)
Net revenues			$	4,327,375					$	3,942,207					$	8,710,845					$	7,815,503
Operating income			425,656						371,378						884,034						1,102,217

Net income attributable to MGM Resorts International			187,072						200,796						404,548						667,603

Consolidated net revenues increased 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to a 37% increase at MGM China as a result of the continued ramp up of operations in Macau and an increase at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts of 3%. Net revenues at our Regional Operations were flat.

Consolidated operating income increased 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to the increase in net revenues, as discussed above.

Consolidated net revenues increased 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period due primarily to a 53% increase at MGM China and a 3% increase at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, partially offset by a 2% decrease at our Regional Operations.

Consolidated operating income decreased 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to the $399 million gain in the prior year period related to the sale of the operations of Gold Strike Tunica recorded in property transactions, net, partially offset by the increase in net revenues discussed above.

Non-operating Results

Interest Expense

Gross interest expense was $113 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and $224 million and $243 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is due primarily to a decrease in debt outstanding as a result of the repayment of the $1.25 billion 6% senior notes in March 2023, the redemption of the $750 million 6.75% senior notes in May 2024, the repayment of MGM China’s $750 million 5.375% senior notes in May 2024, the decrease in the average debt outstanding under MGM China’s first revolving credit facility, and the repayment of the LeoVegas senior notes in August 2023, partially offset by the issuance of $750 million 6.5% senior notes in April 2024 and the issuance of MGM China’s $500 million 7.125%% senior notes in June 2024. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion on long-term debt and see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for discussion on issuances and repayments of long-term debt and other sources and uses of cash.

Other, net

Other, net was expense of $43 million and income of $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily comprised of a loss related to foreign currency contracts of $62 million, a loss related to debt and equity investments of $23 million, partially offset by interest and dividend income of $22 million. Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily comprised of interest and dividend income of $40 million, partially offset by a loss related to foreign currency contracts of $16 million.

Other, net was expense of $48 million and income of $70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Other expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily comprised of a loss related to foreign currency contracts of $100 million, a loss related to debt and equity investments of $44 million, partially offset by a foreign currency transaction gain of $37 million and interest and dividend income of $44 million. Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily comprised of interest and dividend income of $97 million, partially offset by a foreign currency transaction loss of $21 million.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was (4.3%) and 5.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 13.8% and 22.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by an increase in Macau gaming profits which are exempt from complementary tax. The effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was also driven by a decrease in the valuation allowance for Macau deferred tax assets.

Reportable segment GAAP measure

“Adjusted Property EBITDAR” is our reportable segment GAAP measure, which we utilize as the primary profit measure for our reportable segments and underlying operating segments. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is a measure defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, property transactions, net, rent expense related to triple-net operating leases and ground leases, income from unconsolidated affiliates related to investments in real estate ventures, and also excludes corporate

expense and stock compensation expense, which are not allocated to each operating segment. “Adjusted Property EBITDAR margin” is Adjusted Property EBITDAR divided by related segment net revenues.

Non-GAAP measures

“Adjusted EBITDAR” is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, property transactions, net, rent expense related to triple-net operating leases and ground leases, and income from unconsolidated affiliates related to investments in real estate ventures.

Adjusted EBITDAR information is a non-GAAP measure that is a valuation metric, should not be used as an operating metric, and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because we believe this measure is widely used by analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors as a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies. We believe that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAR may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends. Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when we are developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within our properties, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period. In addition, management excludes rent expense related to triple-net operating leases and ground leases. Management believes excluding rent expense related to triple-net operating leases and ground leases provides useful information to analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors when valuing us, as well as comparing our results to other gaming companies, without regard to differences in capital structure and leasing arrangements since the operations of other gaming companies may or may not include triple-net operating leases or ground leases. However, as discussed herein, Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance, an indicator of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to operating income or net income, or 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 generally accepted accounting principles because this measure is not presented on a GAAP basis and excludes certain expenses, including the rent expense related to triple-net operating leases and ground leases, and is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein. In addition, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report Adjusted EBITDAR may calculate Adjusted EBITDAR in a different manner and such differences may be material. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes, real estate triple-net lease and ground lease payments, and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDAR. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDAR is included herein.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to MGM Resorts International to Adjusted EBITDAR:

Our foreign subsidiaries, including LeoVegas, MGM China, and each of their respective subsidiaries, are also not guarantors of our principal debt arrangements. In the event that any subsidiary is no longer a guarantor of our credit facility or any of our future capital markets indebtedness, that subsidiary will be released and relieved of its obligations to guarantee our existing senior notes. The indentures governing the senior notes further provide that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of, or capital stock in a subsidiary guarantor then such subsidiary guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its subsidiary guarantee.

The guarantees provided by the subsidiary guarantors rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of ours or such subsidiary guarantors, junior to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and effectively subordinated to any indebtedness and other obligations of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes. In addition, the obligations of each subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee are limited so as not to constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law, which may eliminate the subsidiary guarantor’s obligations or reduce such obligations to an amount that effectively makes the subsidiary guarantee lack value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Operating activities. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but can be affected by changes in working capital, the timing of significant interest payments, and tax payments or refunds. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.3 billion in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was due primarily to changes in working capital primarily related to payroll liabilities, gaming taxes, payables, and receivables, partially offset by the increase in Adjusted Property EBITDAR at MGM China discussed within the Results of Operations section above and a decrease in cash paid for interest and taxes.

Investing activities. Our investing cash flows can fluctuate significantly from year to year depending on our decisions with respect to strategic capital investments in new or existing resorts, business acquisitions or dispositions, and the timing of maintenance capital expenditures to maintain the quality of our resorts. Capital expenditures related to regular investments in our existing resorts can also vary depending on timing of larger remodel projects related to our public spaces and hotel rooms.

Cash used in investing activities was $385 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $59 million in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made payments of $410 million in capital expenditures, as further discussed below, contributed $41 million to unconsolidated affiliates, and received $122 million related to net short-term investments in debt securities. In comparison, in the prior year period we received $447 million in net cash related to the sale of the operations of Gold Strike Tunica, received $153 million in cash related to the principal portion of the Circus Circus Las Vegas note receivable that was repaid, made payments of $393 million in capital expenditures, as further discussed below, contributed $50 million to BetMGM, and made $216 million in net short-term investments in debt securities.

Capital Expenditures

We made capital expenditures of $410 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, of which $40 million related to MGM China and is inclusive of capital expenditures relating to the gaming concession investment. Capital expenditures at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations, and corporate and other entities of $370 million primarily related to information technology and room remodels.

We made capital expenditures of $393 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $20 million related to MGM China and is inclusive of capital expenditures related to the gaming concession investment. Capital expenditures at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and corporate and other entities of $373 million primarily related to expenditures in information technology, room remodels, and convention center remodels.

Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities was $1.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3.3 billion in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net repayments of debt of $42 million, as further discussed below, paid $915 million for repurchases of our common stock as further discussed in Note 10, and distributed $95 million to noncontrolling interest owners. In comparison, in the prior year period, we had net repayments of debt of $2.0 billion, as further discussed below, distributed $162 million to noncontrolling interest owners, and repurchased $1.1 billion of our common stock.

Borrowings and Repayments of Long-term Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net repayments of debt of $42 million, which primarily consisted of our issuance of $750 million of aggregate principal amount of 6.5% notes due 2032 and the issuance of MGM China’s $500 million of aggregate principal amount of 7.125% notes due 2031, net draws of $208 million on MGM China’s first revolving credit facility, the repayment of $750 million of aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% notes due 2025, and the repayment of MGM China’s $750 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.375% notes due 2024 upon maturity.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the $750 million 6.5% notes due 2032 were used to fund the early redemption our $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2025 in May 2024. The repayment of MGM China’s $750 million 5.375% notes due 2024 was funded with draws on its first revolving credit facility, which were partially repaid with the proceeds from the issuance of its $500 million 7.125% notes due 2031.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net repayments of debt of $2.0 billion, which consisted of the repayment of $1.25 billion of aggregate principal amount of our 6% senior notes due 2023 upon maturity, and aggregate net repayments of $758 million on MGM China’s revolving credit facilities.

Share Repurchases and Distributions to Noncontrolling Interest Owners

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $915 million relating to repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plans. See Note 10 for further information on the stock repurchases. In connection with those repurchases, the February 2023 $2.0 billion stock repurchase plan was completed. The remaining availability under the November 2023 $2.0 billion stock repurchase plan was $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased and retired $1.1 billion of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plans.

In March 2024, MGM China’s Board of Directors declared a special dividend for 2023 of $51 million, which was paid in April 2024, of which we received approximately $29 million and noncontrolling interests received approximately $22 million. A final dividend for 2023 of $118 million was declared in March 2024, approved by the shareholders in May 2024, and paid in June 2024, of which we received approximately $66 million and noncontrolling interests received approximately $52 million.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Anticipated Uses of Cash

We require a certain amount of cash on hand to operate our businesses. In addition to required cash on hand for operations, we utilize corporate cash management procedures to minimize the amount of cash held on hand or in banks. Funds are swept from the accounts at most of our domestic resorts daily into central bank accounts, and excess funds are invested overnight or are used to repay amounts drawn under our revolving credit facilities. In addition, from time to time we may use excess funds to repurchase our outstanding debt and equity securities subject to limitations in our revolving credit facility and Delaware law, as applicable. We have significant outstanding debt, interest payments, rent payments, and contractual obligations in addition to planned capital expenditures and commitments.

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.4 billion, of which MGM China held $668 million, and we had $6.3 billion in principal amount of indebtedness, including $3.1 billion related to MGM China. No amounts were

drawn on our revolving credit facility or MGM China’s second revolving credit facility and, as of June 30, 2024, there was $579 million outstanding under MGM China’s first revolving credit facility.

In February 2024, we amended our senior secured credit facility to increase the facility to $2.3 billion and extend the maturity date to February 2029. In May 2024, MGM China further exercised the option to increase the amount of the second revolving facility to its full capacity, as further discussed in Note 5.

Our expected cash interest payments over the next twelve months, based on principal amounts of debt outstanding, contractual maturity dates, and interest rates, each as of June 30, 2024, are approximately $180 million to $200 million, excluding MGM China, and approximately $370 million to $390 million on a consolidated basis, which includes MGM China.

We are also required, as of June 30, 2024, to make annual cash rent payments of $1.8 billion over the next twelve months under triple-net lease agreements, which triple-net leases are also subject to annual escalators and also require us to pay substantially all costs associated with the lease, including real estate taxes, ground lease payments, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance, in addition to the annual cash rent.

We have planned capital expenditures expected over the remainder of 2024 of approximately $475 million to $525 million domestically, which is inclusive of the capital expenditures required under the triple-net lease agreements, each of which requires us to spend a specified percentage of net revenues at the respective domestic properties, and an estimate of approximately $130 million to $180 million at MGM China, which is inclusive of the estimated amount of the gaming concession investment for 2024 that relates to capital projects.

We continue to explore potential development or investment opportunities, such as expanding our global online gaming presence and pursuing a commercial gaming facility in New York, which may require cash commitments in the future. If our pursuit of a commercial gaming facility in New York is successful, we expect the project cost to be approximately $2 billion, inclusive of a $500 million license fee, with the amount and timing of costs dependent upon progress of the project and selection process. Additionally, we have cash commitments to fund Osaka IR KK relating to the development of an integrated resort in Osaka, Japan for our proportionate share of the unfinanced portion of Osaka IR KK’s development project. We currently expect our share to be 306 billion yen (approximately $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2024), which we anticipate funding over the next five years, subject to changes in the progress and scope of the development. In July 2024, we funded 22.2 billion yen (approximately $138 million) to Osaka IR KK, as mentioned in Note 4. Refer to Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our commitments and guarantees.

We also expect to continue to repurchase shares pursuant to our share repurchase plans. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we repurchased approximately 1 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate amount of $59 million, excluding excise tax. Repurchased shares were retired.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since year end.

Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, other than those below.

Interest rate risk. We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed rate borrowings and short-term borrowings under our bank credit facilities. A change in interest rates generally does not have an impact upon our future earnings and cash flow for fixed-rate debt instruments. As fixed-rate debt matures, however, and if additional debt is acquired to fund the debt repayment, future earnings and cash flow may be affected by changes in interest rates. This effect would be realized in the periods subsequent to the periods when the debt matures.

As of June 30, 2024, variable rate borrowings represented approximately 9% of our total borrowings. The following table provides additional information about our gross long-term debt subject to changes in interest rates:

			Debt maturing in																																										Fair Value June 30, 2024
			2024						2025						2026						2027						2028						Thereafter						Total
			(In millions except interest rates)
Fixed-rate			$	—					$	1,175					$	1,150					$	1,425					$	750					$	1,251					$	5,751					$	5,633
Average interest rate			N/A						5.5		%				5.4		%				5.1		%				4.8		%				6.8		%				5.6		%
Variable rate			$	—					$	—					$	578					$	—					$	—					$	—					$	578					$	578
Average interest rate			N/A						N/A						7.2		%				N/A						N/A						N/A						7.2		%

Foreign currency risk. Our worldwide operations are conducted in multiple foreign currencies, but we report our financial results in U.S. dollars. We manage the foreign currency risk through normal operating activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We hold forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain portions of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2024, the notional amount of forward contracts was $1.1 billion and a 10% adverse change in the exchange rate would result in a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $107 million.
