REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Wynn Resorts, Limited and subsidiaries

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Wynn Resorts, Limited and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Wynn Resorts, Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2 and our report dated February 23, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Wynn Resorts, Limited and subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wynn Resorts, Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 23, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
Description of the MatterAs more fully described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2023, the Company had deferred tax assets related to foreign tax credit carryforwards, disallowed interest expense carryforwards and other U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets of $2.2 billion reduced by a $1.3 billion valuation allowance. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, in management’s judgment it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company released $1.1 billion of its previously recorded valuation allowance. The Company considered the achievement of sustained profitability and cumulative income in the U.S., as well as forecasted income and tax planning strategies to be significant forms of positive evidence. The Company determined that the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence and supported a release of a portion of the valuation allowance. Auditing management’s assessment of the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets involved complex judgments due to the significant estimation required in measuring the future utilization of deferred tax assets. These deferred tax assets are affected by assumptions, including forecasted domestic and foreign-sourced income and related inter-company royalties, the amount of interest expense and other expenses allocated to foreign sourced income and the execution of tax planning strategies. Fluctuations in actual results from those forecasted can have a material impact on the recoverability of these deferred tax assets.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s process for evaluating the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including controls over management’s review of its forecasted income and significant assumptions described above and identification and use of available tax planning strategies. To test the valuation of deferred tax assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to the Company’s business plans and current industry and economic trends and evaluated whether changes to the Company’s business plans, economic trends and other factors would affect the significant assumptions. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the valuation allowance that would result from changes in the assumptions. We involved our tax professionals to evaluate the application of tax law in the Company’s available tax planning strategies, the scheduling of the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and carryforward amounts, and the evaluation of the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On December 1, 2022, the Company closed on a sale-leaseback arrangement with respect to certain real estate assets related to Encore Boston Harbor (the "EBH Transaction"). Upon closing of the EBH Transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $1.70 billion in exchange for the sale of such real estate assets, and concurrently entered into a lease agreement for the purpose of continuing to operate the Encore Boston Harbor integrated resort. For more information on the EBH Transaction, see Note 5, "Property and Equipment, net" and Note 16, "Leases."

Wynn Interactive

In August 2023, the Company announced its decision to close WynnBET, Wynn Interactive’s digital sports betting and casino gaming business, in jurisdictions other than New York, Massachusetts, and Michigan, and in January 2024 the Company announced its decision to close WynnBET in Massachusetts. In February 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement providing for the transfer and assignment of Wynn’s market access rights and related obligations in Michigan to Caesars Entertainment, Inc., and separately, signed an equity purchase agreement for the sale of WSI US, LLC, Wynn Interactive’s domestic operating subsidiary, which includes the Company’s gaming license in New York, to Penn Entertainment, Inc.; in each case, subject to certain customary closing conditions.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries, and entities the Company identifies as variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For information on the Company's VIEs, see Note 19, "Retail Joint Venture." If the entity does not qualify for consolidation and the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method. For more information on the Company's equity method investments, see Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliate within Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies." All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss or operating loss.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to, inputs into the Company's estimated allowance for deferred tax assets and credit losses, estimates regarding the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, valuations of derivatives, and litigation and contingency estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and include both U.S. dollar-denominated and foreign currency-denominated securities. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash consists of cash collateral associated with obligations, cash held in a trust in accordance with WML's share award plan, and an amount held in the form of a first demand bank guarantee in favor of the Macau government to support Wynn Macau SA's legal and contractual obligations under the Gaming Concession Contract.

Investments

The Company's investments include financial assets in the form of interest-bearing fixed deposits, which are recorded at fair value (see Note 10, "Fair Value Measurements"), and debt securities in the form of United States treasury bills. Investments in debt securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities held primarily for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in income. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

and losses as a separate component of other comprehensive income. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method. All of the Company’s debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company held $550.0 million in fixed deposits, recorded at fair value, and $295.2 million in debt securities, recorded at amortized cost within Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of the Company's debt securities as of December 31, 2023 was approximately $294.8 million and the gross unrecognized holding loss was $0.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $8.7 million in accrued interest on its debt securities, recorded in Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no investments in fixed deposits or debt securities recorded within Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of the balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether the unrealized losses are attributable to credit losses or other factors. The Company considers the severity of the decline in value, creditworthiness of the issuer and other relevant factors and records an allowance for credit losses, limited to the excess of amortized cost over fair value, with a corresponding charge to earnings. The allowance may be subsequently increased or decreased based on the prevailing facts and circumstances. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded no allowance for credit losses related to its investments.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues credit in the form of "markers" to approved casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness.

Accounts receivable, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing and are recorded at amortized cost. Casino receivables primarily consist of credit issued to patrons in the form of markers. The Company issues credit based on factors such as level of play and financial resources, following background and credit checks. The casino credit extended by the Company is generally unsecured and due on demand.

An estimated allowance for credit losses is maintained to reduce the Company's receivables to their carrying amount, which reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect. The allowance estimate reflects specific review of customer accounts taking into consideration the amount owed, the age of the account, the customer's financial condition, management's experience with historical and current collection trends, current economic and business conditions, and management's expectations of future economic and business conditions and forecasts. Accounts are written off when management deems them to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received.

Inventories

Inventories consist of retail merchandise and food and beverage items, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and certain operating supplies. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, weighted average and specific identification methods.

Property and Equipment

Purchases of property and equipment are stated at cost, and when placed into service, are depreciated over the estimated

useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method as follows:

Estimated Useful Life in Years
Buildings and improvements10 - 45
Land improvements10 - 45
Furniture, fixtures and equipment3 - 20
Leasehold interest in land25
Airplanes20

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Costs related to improvements are capitalized, while costs of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in property charges and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Capitalized Interest

The interest cost associated with major development and construction projects, and interest cost associated with equity method investments incurred during the investee's initial development period, is capitalized and included in the cost of the project or investment in unconsolidated affiliate balance. Interest capitalization ceases once a project is substantially complete or no longer undergoing construction activities to prepare it for its intended use. When no debt is specifically identified as being incurred in connection with a construction project, the Company capitalizes interest on amounts expended on the project using the weighted average cost of the Company's outstanding borrowings. Interest of $5.8 million was capitalized for the year ended December 31, 2023. No interest was capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that this asset may be impaired. The Company’s test of goodwill impairment starts with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If qualitative factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. For the quantitative analysis, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. However, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is recorded equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Intangible Assets other than Goodwill

The Company's intangible assets other than goodwill consist primarily of finite-lived intangible assets, including its Macau gaming concession and Massachusetts gaming license. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual terms or estimated useful lives. The Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, which are to be held and used, including finite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment, are periodically reviewed by management for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

Leases

Lessee Arrangements

The Company is the lessee under non-cancelable real estate and equipment leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are measured and recorded upon lease commencement at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. The Company combines lease and nonlease components in its determination of minimum lease payments, except for certain asset classes that have significant nonlease components. As the interest rate implicit in its leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised. The Company’s triple-net operating lease related to Encore Boston Harbor contains a renewal period at the Company’s option, which is not considered to be reasonably certain of being exercised. Many of the Company’s leases include fixed rental escalation clauses that are factored into the determination of lease payments. A lessee is required to classify a lease as a finance lease if, among other factors, 1) the term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset or 2) the present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset. For operating leases, lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. For finance leases, the Company records depreciation of the lease asset on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the lease asset, and the lease liability accretes interest using the discount rate determined at lease commencement. The Company does not record an asset or liability for leases with a term of less than one year. Variable lease costs generally arise from changes in an index, such as the consumer price index. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and are not included in the determination of lease assets or liabilities.

For sale-leaseback arrangements, such as the EBH Transaction, the Company is required to determine whether the transaction qualifies as a sale, which includes assessing whether a contract exists and if so, whether control has passed to the counterparty in the contract. Control indicators include, but are not limited to, whether the entity has a present right to payment for the asset, whether the customer has legal title to the asset, whether the entity has transferred physical possession of the asset, whether the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and whether the customer has accepted the asset. If it is determined that a sale has occurred, the Company recognizes an operating or finance lease based on the factors outline in the preceding paragraph. A finance lease would preclude sale accounting.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company is the lessor under non-cancelable operating leases for retail and food and beverage outlet space at its integrated resorts, which represents approximately 102,000, 63,000, 187,000, and 39,000 square feet of space at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The lease arrangements generally include minimum base rent and contingent rental clauses based on a percentage of net sales. Generally, the terms of the leases range between five and 10 years. The Company records revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and recognizes revenue for contingent rentals when the contingency has been resolved. The Company has elected to combine lease and nonlease components for the purpose of measuring lease revenue.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliate

The Company accounts for its investment in Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, an unconsolidated affiliate which is currently constructing Wynn Al Marjan Island, using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment's carrying value is adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee's earnings and losses, capital contributions to and distributions from this company, and capitalization of interest cost incurred by the Company during the investee's initial development period. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had investments in unconsolidated affiliate of $90.9 million and $39.9 million, respectively, recorded in noncurrent other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company classifies operating income and losses as well as gains and impairments related to its investment in unconsolidated affiliate as a component of Operating income (loss) within the Company's accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and classifies non-operating income or losses related to its investments in unconsolidated affiliates as a component of Other income (expense) within the Company's accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, as the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliate are an extension of the Company's core business operations. The Company recognized a loss on investments in unconsolidated affiliate of $2.4 million and $0.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, recorded in Pre-opening within the Company's accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Debt Issuance Costs

Direct and incremental costs and original issue discounts and premiums incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method or, if the amounts approximate the effective interest method, on a straight-line basis. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company's revolving credit facilities are presented in noncurrent other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other debt issuance costs are presented as a direct reduction of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Approximately $39.5 million, $29.4 million, and $27.0 million was amortized to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has an interest rate collar to manage interest rate exposure on its Retail Term Loan (as defined in Note 7, "Long-Term Debt"). The Company measures the fair value of the interest rate collar at each balance sheet date based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates observable market inputs such as market volatility and interest rates. The fair value of the interest rate collar is recognized as an asset or liability at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings as the Company's interest rate collar does not qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value approximates the amount the Company would pay if the interest rate collar was settled at the respective valuation date.

See Note 8, "WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative" for accounting policy disclosures relating to the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative (as defined therein).

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue from contracts with customers primarily consists of casino wagers and sales of rooms, food and beverage, entertainment, retail and other goods and services.

Gross casino revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its casino wagering transactions on a portfolio basis versus an individual basis as all wagers have similar characteristics. Commissions rebated to customers either directly or indirectly through games promoters and cash discounts and other cash incentives earned by customers are recorded as a reduction of casino revenues. In addition to the wager, casino transactions typically include performance obligations related to complimentary goods or services provided to incentivize future gaming or in exchange for points earned under the Company's loyalty programs.

For casino transactions that include complimentary goods or services provided by the Company to incentivize future gaming, the Company allocates the standalone selling price of each good or service to the appropriate revenue type based on the good or service provided. Complimentary goods or services that are provided under the Company's control and discretion and supplied by third parties are recorded as an operating expense.

The Company offers loyalty programs at each of its resorts. Customers earn points based on their level of table games and slots play, which can be redeemed for slots free play, gifts and complimentary goods or services provided by the Company. For casino transactions that include points earned under the Company's loyalty programs, the Company defers a portion of the revenue by recording the estimated standalone selling price of the earned points that are expected to be redeemed as a liability.

Upon redemption of the points for Company-owned goods or services, the standalone selling price of each good or service is allocated to the appropriate revenue type based on the good or service provided. Upon the redemption of points with third parties, the redemption amount is deducted from the liability and paid directly to the third party with any difference between the amount paid and the stand-alone selling price recorded as Entertainment, retail and other revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

After allocating amounts to the complimentary goods or services provided and to the points earned under the Company's loyalty programs, the residual amount is recorded as casino revenue when the wager is settled.

The transaction price for rooms, food and beverage, entertainment, retail and other transactions is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services and is recorded as revenue when the goods are provided, services are performed or events are held. Sales tax and other applicable taxes collected by the Company are excluded from revenues. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are performance obligations that are recorded as customer deposits until services are provided to the customer. Revenues from contracts with multiple goods or services are allocated to each good or service based

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

on its relative standalone selling price. As previously noted, Entertainment, retail and other revenue also includes lease revenue, which is recognized in accordance with the relevant accounting principles.

Gaming Taxes

The Company is subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which it operates, subject to applicable jurisdictional adjustments. These gaming taxes are recorded as casino expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. These taxes totaled $1.57 billion, $526.3 million, and $830.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Advertising Costs

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred, and totaled $112.6 million, $148.6 million, and $250.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Pre-opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel, advertising, and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures and are expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred pre-opening expenses primarily in connection with the launch of sports betting operations in Massachusetts. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred pre-opening expenses primarily in connection with reconfiguring the theater space at Wynn Las Vegas to host an exclusive theatrical production, Awakening. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred pre-opening expenses primarily in connection with restaurant remodels at our Las Vegas Operations.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions where it operates. Accounting standards require the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities generally is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Accounting standards also require recognition of a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not; otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied.

The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on accounting standards for uncertain income taxes. The accounting standards prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.

Uncertain tax position accounting standards apply to all tax positions related to income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. If a tax position, based on its technical merits, is deemed more likely than not to be sustained, then the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.

As applicable, the Company will recognize accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.

Foreign Currency

Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurements are included in Other income (expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date and income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive loss.

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all other non-stockholder changes in equity or other comprehensive income (loss). Components of the Company's comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Deficit and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain of its financial assets and liabilities, at fair value on a recurring basis pursuant to accounting standards for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. These accounting standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include:

  • Level 1** - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

  • Level 2** - Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

  • Level 3** - Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with accounting standards, which require the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options, based on the estimated fair value of the award using the Monte Carlo simulation approach for performance share units, and based on the closing share price of the Company's stock on the grant date for nonvested share awards. Dividend yield is based on the estimate of annual dividends expected to be paid at the time of the grant. Expected volatility is based on implied and historical factors related to the Company's common stock. The risk-free interest rate used for each period presented is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for stock options issued under the Wynn Resorts Omnibus Plan and Wynn Interactive Omnibus Plan (as defined and discussed in Note 13, "Stock-Based Compensation") and the Hong Kong Exchange Fund rates for stock options issued under the Share Option Plan (as defined in Note 13, "Stock-Based Compensation"), both at the time of grant for the period equal to the expected term. Expected term represents the weighted average time between the option's grant date and its exercise date. The Company uses historical award exercise activity and termination activity in estimating the expected term for the Omnibus Plan and Share Option Plan. The cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the employee's requisite service period (the vesting period of the award), and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The Company's stock-based employee compensation arrangements are more fully discussed in Note 13, "Stock-Based Compensation."

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company’s management has evaluated all of the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standards-setting bodies through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Massachusetts Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Massachusetts gaming license is a finite-lived intangible asset that is being amortized over the 15 year life of the license. The Company expects that amortization of the Massachusetts gaming license will be $7.8 million each year from 2024 through 2033, and $3.7 million in 2034.

Wynn Interactive Goodwill and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Other finite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of market access fees and gaming license fees. Market access fees relate to fees paid to gaming operators and other strategic partners that are approved or pending regulatory approval by a state's

regulator to operate online casino wagering and online sports betting in certain jurisdictions. The Company amortizes market access fees over their stated contractual term, which is typically ten years. The Company expects that amortization of Other intangible assets will be $6.0 million in 2024, $3.7 million in 2025, $3.0 million each year in 2026, 2027 and 2028, and $9.3 million thereafter.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of the Company's decision to cease operating Wynn Interactive's online sports betting and iGaming platform in certain jurisdictions announced in August 2023, the Company identified interim indicators of impairment related to the goodwill assigned to the WynnBET reporting unit within the Wynn Interactive reportable segment. As a result, the Company performed an impairment test and determined that the carrying value of its goodwill exceeded the estimated fair value of that reporting unit based on a combination of the income and cost approaches, causing the Company to recognize a goodwill impairment loss of $72.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no remaining goodwill recorded related to the acquisition of BetBull Limited ("BetBull"), a subsidiary of Wynn Interactive. The Company also recognized impairment of other finite-lived intangible assets related to Wynn Interactive's closed operations totaling $22.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of changes in forecasts and other industry-specific factors and management's decision to cease the operations of Betbull Limited ("BetBull"), a subsidiary of Wynn Interactive, the Company recognized impairment of goodwill and other finite-lived intangible assets of $37.8 million and $10.3 million, respectively. In November 2021, Wynn Resorts announced the termination of a previously announced agreement and plan of merger which contemplated the combination of Wynn Interactive and a special purpose acquisition company. The Company concluded that the termination of the agreement constituted a potential indicator of impairment, and as a result of revisiting its estimated fair value of the reporting units comprising Wynn Interactive based on a combination of the income and market approaches, recognized goodwill impairment of $10.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Macau Gaming Concession

In December 2022, Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA"), an indirect subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, Limited, entered into a definitive gaming concession contract (the "Gaming Concession Contract") with the Macau government, pursuant to which Wynn Macau SA was granted a 10-year gaming concession commencing on January 1, 2023 and expiring on December 31, 2032, to operate games of chance at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau. Under the terms of the Gaming Concession Contract, Wynn Macau SA is required to pay the Macau government an annual gaming premium consisting of a fixed and a variable portion. The fixed portion of the premium is composed of an annual amount equal to MOP30.0 million (approximately $3.7 million). The variable portion is composed of an annual amount equal to MOP300,000 (approximately $37 thousand) per gaming table located in special gaming halls reserved exclusively to particular games or players, MOP150,000 (approximately $19 thousand) per gaming table that is not reserved exclusively to particular games or players, and MOP1,000 (approximately $124) per gaming machine, including slot machines, operated by Wynn Macau SA. The amount of the variable portion of the premium cannot be less than the amount that would result from the permanent operation of 500 gaming tables and 1,000 gaming machines, i.e. MOP76.0 million (approximately $9.4 million).

In December 2022, in accordance with the requirements of the Macau Gaming Law, Wynn Macau SA and Palo entered into the Property Transfer Agreements (as defined in Note 5, "Property and Equipment, net"). Under the Property Transfer Agreements, Wynn Macau SA has agreed to make annual payments to the Macau government of MOP53.1 million (approximately $6.6 million) during each of the years ending December 31, 2024 and 2025, and an annual payment of MOP177.0 million (approximately $22.0 million) during each of the remaining years of the term of the Gaming Concession Contract through December 31, 2032, subject to adjustment in each year based on the average price index in Macau.

On January 1, 2023, the Company recognized an intangible asset and financial liability of MOP1.68 billion (approximately $208.3 million), representing the right to operate games of chance at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau and the unconditional obligation to make payments under the Gaming Concession Contract. This intangible asset comprises the contractually obligated annual payments of fixed and variable premiums, as well as fees associated with the above-described Property Transfer Agreements. The contractually obligated annual variable premium payments associated with the intangible asset was determined using the total number of gaming tables and gaming machines that Wynn Macau SA is currently approved to operate by the Macau government. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, the noncurrent portion of the financial liability is included in "Other long-term liabilities" and the current portion is included in "Other accrued liabilities." The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the Gaming Concession Contract. The Company expects that amortization of the Macau Gaming Concession will be $20.9 million each year from 2024 to 2032.

WM Cayman II Revolver

On September 16, 2021, WM Cayman Holdings Limited II, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WML, as borrower ("WM Cayman II") and WML as guarantor, each an indirect subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, entered into a facility agreement with, among others, Bank of China Limited, Macau Branch as agent and a syndicate of lenders (the "Facility Agreement"), pursuant to which the lenders will make available in an aggregate amount of $1.50 billion equivalent revolving unsecured credit facility consisting of a U.S. dollar tranche in an amount of $312.5 million ("Facility A") and a Hong Kong dollar tranche ("Facility B") in an amount of HK$9.26 billion (approximately $1.19 billion) to WM Cayman II (the "WM Cayman II Revolver"). WM Cayman II has the ability to upsize the total WM Cayman II Revolver by an additional $1.00 billion equivalent under the Facility Agreement and related agreements upon the satisfaction of various conditions.

Due to the global phase out of London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), on June 27, 2023, WM Cayman II, as borrower and WML, as guarantor, entered into an Amended and Restated Facility Agreement with Bank of China Limited, Macau Branch, as agent for the syndicate of lenders (as amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated Facility Agreement"), to transition the base rate applicable to loans denominated in U.S. dollars provided under WM Cayman II Revolver from LIBOR to Term SOFR. The new Term SOFR base rate became effective July 4, 2023.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Facility Agreement, loans provided under Facility A bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to: (a) Term SOFR, plus a credit adjustment spread of 0.10% (subject to a minimum floor of 0.00%), plus (b) a margin of 1.875% to 2.875% based on the consolidated leverage ratio of WM Cayman II and its subsidiaries (as calculated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Facility Agreement), and loans provided under Facility B bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to: (i) the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate, plus (ii) a margin of 1.875% to 2.875% based on the consolidated leverage ratio of WM Cayman II and its subsidiaries (as calculated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Facility Agreement).

The final maturity of all outstanding loans under the WM Cayman II Revolver is September 16, 2025, by which time any outstanding borrowings from the WM Cayman II Revolver must be repaid. WML, as guarantor, may be subject to certain restrictions on payments of dividends or distributions to its shareholders, unless certain financial criteria have been satisfied through the Facility Agreement.

WML Convertible Bonds

On March 7, 2023, WML completed an offering (the "Offering") of $600 million 4.50% convertible bonds due 2029 (the "WML Convertible Bonds"). The WML Convertible Bonds are governed by a trust deed dated March 7, 2023 (the "Trust Deed"), between WML and DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited, as trustee. WML, DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited, as trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas entered into an agency agreement, appointing Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the principal paying agent, principal conversion agent, transfer agent and registrar in relation to the WML Convertible Bonds. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deduction of commissions and other related expenses, were $585.9 million. WML intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The WML Convertible Bonds bear interest on their outstanding principal amount from and including March 7, 2023 at the rate of 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 7 and September 7 of each year. At any time on or after April 17, 2023, the WML Convertible Bonds are convertible at the option of the holder thereof into fully paid ordinary shares of WML, each with a nominal value of HK$0.001 per share ("Ordinary Shares"), at the initial conversion price of approximately HK$10.24 (equivalent to approximately $1.31) per share, subject to and upon compliance with the terms and conditions of the WML Convertible Bonds (the "Terms and Conditions," and such right, the "Conversion Right"). The conversion price is at the fixed exchange rate of HK$7.8497 per $1.00, subject to standard adjustments for certain dilutive events as described in the Terms and Conditions. WML has the option upon conversion by a bondholder to pay an amount of cash equivalent described in the Terms and Conditions in order to satisfy such Conversion Right in whole or in part.

Holders of the WML Convertible Bonds have the option to require WML to redeem all or some only of such holder’s WML Convertible Bonds (i) on March 7, 2027 at their principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; or (ii) on the Relevant Event Redemption Date (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) at their principal amount together with interest accrued but unpaid to, but excluding, such date, following the occurrence of (a) when the Ordinary Shares cease to be listed or admitted to trading or are suspended from trading for a period

equal to or exceeding 10 consecutive trading days on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, or if applicable, the alternative stock exchange, (b) when there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Terms and Conditions), or (c) when less than 25% of WML’s total number of issued Ordinary Shares are held by the public (as interpreted under Rule 8.24 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited).

The WML Convertible Bonds may also be redeemed at the option of WML under certain circumstances specified in the Terms and Conditions, in whole, but not in part, at any time after March 7, 2027, but prior to March 7, 2029, upon giving notice to the bondholders in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. The WML Convertible Bonds constitute direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and, subject to the Terms and Conditions, unsecured obligations of WML and rank pari passu and without any preference or priority among themselves. The Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of Conversion Right will be fully-paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully-paid Ordinary Shares in issue on the relevant registration date set forth in the Terms and Conditions.

The Trust Deed contains covenants limiting WML's and all of its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, create, permit to subsist or arise or have outstanding any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance or certain security interest; consolidate or merge with or into another company; and sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its and its subsidiaries’ properties or assets, with certain exceptions. The Trust Deed also contains customary events of default.

The Company determined that the conversion feature contained within the WML Convertible Bonds is required to be bifurcated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a free-standing derivative (the "WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative"). In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative will be reported at fair value as of the end of each reporting period, with changes recognized in the statements of operations. For more information, see "Note 8 - WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative." As a result, the Company recognized a debt discount of $123.5 million within Long-term debt, representing the estimated fair value of the holders' conversion option upon completion of the Offering. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the WML Convertible Bonds using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative was a liability of $73.7 million, recorded within Long-term debt within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The WML Senior Notes are WML's general unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of WML's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, will rank senior to all of WML's future subordinated indebtedness, if any; will be effectively subordinated to all of WML's future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt; and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations of WML's subsidiaries, including the WM Cayman II Revolver. The WML Senior Notes are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the WML Notes are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale.

The WML Senior Notes were issued pursuant to indentures between WML and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "WML Senior Notes Indentures"). The WML Senior Notes Indentures contain covenants limiting WML’s (and certain of its subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: merge or consolidate with another company; transfer or sell all or substantially all of its properties or assets; and lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets. The WML Senior Notes Indentures also contain customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all WML Senior Notes then outstanding will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

Upon the occurrence of (a) any event after which none of WML or any subsidiary of WML has the applicable gaming concessions or authorizations in Macau in substantially the same manner and scope as WML and its subsidiaries are entitled to at the date on which each of the WML Senior Notes are issued, for a period of 10 consecutive days or more, and such event has a material adverse effect on WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (b) the termination or modification of any such concessions or authorizations which has a material adverse effect on WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, each holder of the WML Senior Notes will have the right to require WML to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s WML Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

WRF Credit Facilities

During 2019, WRF entered into a credit agreement (the "WRF Credit Agreement") providing for a first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.00 billion (the "WRF Term Loan") and a first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million (the "WRF Revolver" and together with the WRF Term Loan, the "WRF Credit Facilities"). WRF used the net proceeds from the WRF Term Loan and the 2029 WRF Senior Notes (as defined below) to refinance the existing Wynn America credit facilities and the Wynn Resorts term loan and to pay related fees and expenses.

Subject to certain exceptions, the WRF Credit Facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum. The annual fee required to pay for unborrowed amounts under the WRF Revolver, if any, is 0.25% per annum. The Company is required to make quarterly repayments on the WRF Term Loan of $12.5 million, with any remaining principal amount outstanding repayable in full on September 20, 2024.

The WRF Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and negative and affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries, to incur and/or repay indebtedness, to make certain restricted payments, and to enter into mergers and acquisitions, negative pledges, liens, transactions with affiliates, and sales of assets. In addition, WRF is subject to financial covenants, including maintaining a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement. The Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.

The WRF Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of WRF's existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), subject to certain exceptions, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of WRF's and each of the guarantors' existing and future property and assets, subject to certain exceptions, including a limitation on the amount of collateral granted by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("WLV") and its subsidiaries so as to not violate the indenture governing WLV's outstanding senior notes.

On April 10, 2020 and November 27, 2020, the WRF Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, implement a financial covenant relief period (the "Financial Covenant Relief Period") through April 1, 2022 and implement a financial covenant increase period (the "Financial Covenant Increase Period") commencing on the first day after the expiration of the Financial Covenant Relief Period and ending on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter after the expiration of the Financial Covenant Relief Period, unless earlier terminated by WRF. During the Financial Covenant Relief Period, the existing consolidated first lien net leverage ratio financial covenant was replaced with a minimum liquidity financial covenant that required WRF and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain liquidity of at least $325.0 million at all times (with liquidity being the sum of unrestricted operating cash, as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement, and the available borrowing capacity under the WRF Revolver). WRF terminated the Financial Covenant Relief Period during the first quarter of 2022. Following the termination of the Financial Covenant Relief Period, WRF may not permit the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.

In May 2023, WRF and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the "WRF Credit Facility Agreement Amendment") to its existing credit agreement among Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto.

The WRF Credit Facility Agreement Amendment amends the WRF Credit Facility Agreement to: (i) transition the benchmark rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR and to make conforming changes, (ii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments under the revolving credit facility by $100.0 million, from $850.0 million to $750.0 million, (iii) extend the stated maturity date for lenders electing to extend their revolving commitments in an amount equal to approximately $681.3 million from September 20, 2024 to September 20, 2027, and (iv) extend the stated maturity date for lenders electing to extend their term loan commitments in an amount equal to approximately $749.4 million from September 20, 2024 to September 20, 2027. Lenders who elected not to extend their revolving commitments in an amount equal to approximately $68.7 million will remain subject to a stated maturity date of September 20, 2024, and lenders who elected not to extend their term loan commitments in an amount equal to approximately $75.6 million will remain subject to a stated maturity date of September 20, 2024. In connection with the WRF Credit Facility Agreement Amendment, the Company recognized a loss on debt financing transactions of $1.2 million within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $5.1 million, within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The 2031 WRF Senior Notes were issued at par, for proceeds of $596.2 million, net of $3.8 million of related fees and expenses. Also on February 16, 2023, the WRF Issuers completed a cash tender offer for any and all of the outstanding principal amount of the 2025 WRF Senior Notes, and accepted for purchase valid tenders with respect to $506.4 million and paid a tender premium of $12.4 million. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes to purchase such tendered 2025 WRF Senior Notes and to pay related fees and expenses.

In April 2023, WRF repurchased all of the outstanding 2025 WRF Senior Notes using the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes and cash held by WRF, at a price equal to 101.938% of the principal amount plus accrued interest under the terms of its indenture.

In connection with the issuance of the 2031 WRF Senior Notes and purchase of the 2025 WRF Senior Notes, the Company recognized a loss on debt financing transactions of $10.6 million within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $11.4 million within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Retail Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan facility to the Retail Borrowers of $615.0 million (the "Retail Term Loan"). The Retail Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Retail Borrowers. The Retail Term Loan matures on July 24, 2025 and bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% plus 1.70% per annum. The Retail Borrowers distributed approximately $589 million of the net proceeds of the Retail Term Loan to their members on a proportionate basis to each member's ownership percentage. The Retail Borrowers may prepay the Retail Term Loan, in whole or in part, at any time with no premium above the principal amount.

In accordance with the terms of the Retail Term Loan Agreement, the Retail Borrowers entered into an interest rate collar with a notional value of $615.0 million, the underlying reference rate of which was transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR concurrently with the Retail Term Loan. The interest rate collar establishes a range whereby the Retail Borrowers will pay the counterparty if one-month SOFR falls below the established floor rate of 1.00%, and the counterparty will pay the Retail Borrowers if one-month SOFR exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.67%. The interest rate collar settles monthly through the termination date in August 2024. No payments or receipts are exchanged on interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the pre-determined ceiling or floor rate, respectively. The Company measures the fair value of the interest rate collar at each balance sheet date based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates observable market inputs such as market volatility and interest rates, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate collar was an asset of $5.8 million, recorded in Prepaid expenses and other in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the interest rate collar was a liability of $10.4 million, of which $6.7 million was recorded in Prepaid expenses and other, and $3.7 million was recorded in Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8 - WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative

An embedded derivative is a feature contained within a contract that affects some or all of the cash flows or the value of other exchanges required by the contract in a manner similar to a derivative instrument. Embedded derivatives are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately from the host contract and carried at fair value when: (a) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and (b) a separate, freestanding instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument. The Company determined that the conversion feature contained within the WML Convertible Bonds is not indexed to WML's equity and, as such, is required to be bifurcated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a free-standing derivative. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the WML Convertible Bond Conversion Option Derivative will be reported at fair value as of the end of each reporting period, with changes recognized in the statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company used a binomial lattice model in order to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative in the WML Convertible Bonds. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are unobservable (Level 3) inputs and assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term, and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of shares of WML common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining term to maturity of the WML Convertible Bonds. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Hong Kong and United States benchmark yield curves on the valuation date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining term of the WML Convertible Bonds. The expected life of the WML Convertible Bonds is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining term to maturity. The dividend yield is based on the historical WML dividend rate over the last several years.

The following table sets forth the inputs to the lattice models that were used to value the embedded derivative:

December 31, 2023March 2, 2023 (Pricing date)
WML stock priceHK$6.43HK$8.08
Estimated volatility34.0%26.0%
Risk-free interest rate3.3%4.2%
Expected term (years)5.26.0
Dividend yield0.0%0.0%

In connection with the completion of the Offering on March 7, 2023, the Company recognized a debt discount and a corresponding liability for the embedded derivative, based on an estimated fair value of $123.5 million. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the WML Convertible Bonds using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the embedded derivative was a liability of $73.7 million, recorded within Long-term debt within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. In connection with the change in fair value, the Company recorded a gain of $49.7 million within Change in derivatives fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain members of the executive management team receive grants of nonvested share awards that are subject to service and performance conditions. Generally, these awards vest if certain fair share metrics (as approved by the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) are attained over a one-, two-, or three-year performance period. The Company records expense for these awards if it determines that vesting is probable. At December 31, 2023, all performance nonvested awards were deemed to be probable of vesting; however, none of the performance criteria contingencies have been resolved. The activity for these performance nonvested shares is included in the table above.

In 2024, Wynn Macau SA received an exemption from Macau's 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any casino gaming profits exempt from the Macau Complementary Tax. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company was exempt from the payment of Macau Complementary Tax totaling $77.4 million or $0.69 per diluted share. The Company's non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau special gaming tax and other levies in accordance with its concession agreement.

In 2024, Wynn Macau SA renewed its agreement with the Macau government that provides for a payment in lieu of complementary tax on dividend distributions which would otherwise be borne by stockholders of Wynn Macau SA from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The payment is $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Accounting standards require recognition of a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not; otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased $1.10 billion and $64.1 million, respectively. The 2023 decrease is primarily related to the release of valuation allowance on foreign tax credits ("FTCs") and certain deferred tax assets as a result of achieving sustained profitability in the U.S. The 2022 decrease is primarily related to utilization of FTCs and expiration of NOL carryforwards.

The Company recorded tax benefits resulting from the exercise of nonqualified stock options and the value of vested restricted stock and accrued dividends of $2.3 million, $0.7 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, in excess of the amounts reported for such items as compensation costs under accounting standards related to stock-based compensation.

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

interest carryforward of $682.3 million which does not expire. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had U.S. federal and state tax loss carryforwards of $624.6 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. federal and state tax loss carryforwards of $417.3 million. U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards do not expire. The Company incurred foreign tax losses of $55.1 million, $424.2 million and $394.1 million during the tax years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The majority of foreign tax loss carryforwards expire in 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company records valuation allowances on certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. In the assessment of the valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence including recent operating profitability, forecast of future earnings, ability to carryback, the reversal of net taxable temporary differences, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies.

In 2023, the Company considered both the achievement of sustained profitability and cumulative income as well as forecasted income and tax planning strategies to be significant forms of positive evidence. The Company determined that the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence and supported a release of a portion of the valuation allowance. Therefore, the Company recorded a $1.10 billion net decrease to valuation allowances, including a $971.7 million decrease to valuation allowance on FTC carryforwards. Of the $971.7 million decrease, $97.5 million relates to current year utilization and $572.6 million relates to expirations of FTCs in 2023. The remaining $301.6 million represents FTCs more likely than not to be realized based on future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The Company also recorded a $158.0 million decrease in valuation allowance on disallowed interest expense carryforward. The need for valuation allowances against deferred tax assets will be reassessed on a continuous basis in future periods and, as a result, the allowance may increase or decrease based on changes in facts and circumstances.

The Company relied solely on the reversal of net taxable temporary differences in assessing the need for a valuation allowance in the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had valuation allowances provided on its deferred tax assets as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, unrecognized tax benefits of $135.7 million, $135.9 million and $141.5 million, respectively, were recorded as reductions in deferred income taxes, net. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded in other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, $69.0 million, $69.0 million and $74.3 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. During each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.

The Company anticipates that the 2019 statute of limitations will expire in the next 12 months for certain foreign tax jurisdictions. Also, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits include certain income tax accounting methods, which govern the timing and deductibility of income tax deductions. As a result, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits could decrease up to $1.5 million over the next 12 months.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company's 2002 to 2019 domestic income tax returns remain subject to examination by the IRS to the extent tax attributes carryforward to future years. The Company's 2020 to 2022 domestic income tax returns also remain subject to examination by the IRS. The Company's 2019 to 2022 Macau income tax returns remain subject to examination by the Financial Services Bureau.

The Company has participated in the IRS Compliance Assurance Program ("CAP") for the 2012 through 2023 tax years and will continue to participate in the IRS CAP for the 2024 tax year.

On December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the statute of limitations for the 2018, 2017, and 2016 Macau Complementary tax return expired, respectively. As a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for the Macau Complementary Tax return, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $16.1 million, $15.0 million, and $10.6 million, respectively.

Note 15 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, adjusted for the potential dilutive impact assuming that the conversion of the WML Convertible Bonds occurred as of the date of their issuance under the if-converted method, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive securities had been issued, to the extent such impact is not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock.

Home Purchase

In 2022, Linda Chen, President and Executive Director of Wynn Macau SA exercised an option to purchase a home provided by the Company for her use for no consideration, as provided by the terms of her employment agreement. Based on a third-party appraisal as of the date of option exercise, the estimated fair value of the home was $6.4 million. The home purchase closed during the third quarter of 2022.

Cooperation Agreement

On August 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the "Cooperation Agreement") with Elaine P. Wynn regarding the composition of the Company's Board of Directors and certain other matters, including, among other things, the appointment of Mr. Philip G. Satre to the Company's Board of Directors, standstill restrictions, releases, non-disparagement, reimbursement of expenses and the grant of certain complimentary privileges.

Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies

Macau Gaming Concession

Wynn Macau SA committed to make certain non-gaming and gaming investments in the amount of MOP17.73 billion (approximately $2.20 billion) over the course of the ten-year term of the Gaming Concession Contract. MOP16.50 billion (approximately $2.05 billion) of the committed investment will be used for non-gaming capital projects and event programming in connection with, among others, attraction of foreign tourists, conventions and exhibitions, entertainment performances, sports events, culture and art, health and wellness, themed amusement, gastronomy, community tourism and maritime tourism. Wynn Macau SA agreed, as part of its commitment for its Gaming Concession Contract, to increase its investment in non-gaming projects (original commitment of MOP16.50 billion (approximately $2.05 billion) by 20% once market-wide gross gaming revenues reached MOP180.00 billion (approximately $22.36 billion) in any one year (the "Trigger Event"). As market wide gross gaming revenue exceeded MOP180.00 billion (approximately $22.36 billion) in 2023, the Trigger Event occurred at the end of 2023 and each gaming concessionaire is now required to increase its original committed investment amount in non-gaming projects by 20%. Wynn Macau SA will comply with its further investment commitment by investing MOP3.30 billion (approximately $409.9 million) over the course of the remaining 9 years of the Gaming Concession Contract in non-gaming capital projects. The scope, nature and timing of the additional investment in non-gaming capital projects will be mutually agreed between Wynn Macau SA and the Macau SAR Government in due course and according to the terms of the Gaming Concession Contract.

Additionally, Wynn Macau SA committed to make the following payments throughout the term of the Gaming Concession Contract:

(i) Special gaming premium - The Company is obligated to pay a special annual gaming premium if the average of the gross gaming revenues of the Company's gaming tables and gaming machines is lower than a certain minimum amount determined by the Macau government. A minimum average annual gross gaming revenue of MOP7.0 million (approximately $0.9 million) per gaming table and MOP300,000 (approximately $37 thousand) per gaming machine has been set by Macau government. If Wynn Macau SA fails to reach such minimum gross gaming revenue, Wynn Macau SA will be required to pay a special premium equal to the difference between the special gaming tax calculated based on the actual gross gaming revenue and that of such minimum gross gaming revenue.

(ii) Special levies, totaling 5% of gross gaming revenues. The Macau government may reduce the special levies payable by Wynn Macau SA (1) based on Wynn Macau SA’s contribution to the attraction of tourists who enter Macau for tourism and

business purposes and hold travel documents issued by countries or regions other than the People’s Republic of China; (2) if Wynn Macau SA’s operations are adversely affected by abnormal, unpredictable or force majeure circumstances associated with the prevailing economic conditions of Macau; or (3) factors as determined by the Chief Executive of Macau; and

(iii) Special gaming tax assessed at the rate of 35% of gross gaming revenues.

Wynn Al Marjan Island Funding Commitment

Pursuant to the shareholders' agreement governing Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, the unconsolidated entity in which the Company has a 40% ownership interest and which owns the Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort development project in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, the Company, and the entity's other shareholders, have committed to fund the development of the project through capital contributions in an amount up to its pro rata share of at least 20% of the project budget. The amount and timing of such contributions are subject to approval by the entity's shareholders.

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with several executive officers, other members of management and certain key employees. These agreements generally have three- to five-year terms and typically indicate a base salary and often contain provisions for discretionary bonuses. Certain of the executives are also entitled to a separation payment if terminated without "cause" or upon voluntary termination of employment for "good reason" following a "change of control" (as these terms are defined in the employment contracts). As of December 31, 2023, the Company was obligated to make future payments of $97.0 million, $66.1 million, $25.1 million, $6.8 million, $2.1 million, and $2.7 million during the years ending December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and thereafter, respectively.

Litigation

In addition to the actions noted below, the Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Macau Litigation Related to Dore

Wynn Macau SA has been named as a defendant in lawsuits filed in the Macau Court of First Instance by individuals who claim to be investors in, or persons with credit in accounts maintained by, Dore Entertainment Company Limited ("Dore"), an independent, Macau registered and licensed company that operated a gaming promoter business at Wynn Macau. In connection

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

with the alleged theft, embezzlement, fraud and/or other crime(s) perpetrated by a former employee of Dore (the "Dore Incident"), the plaintiffs of the lawsuits allege that Dore failed to honor withdrawal of funds deposited with Dore as investments or gaming deposits that allegedly resulted in certain losses for these individuals. The principal allegations common to the lawsuits are that Wynn Macau SA, as a gaming concessionaire, should be held responsible for Dore’s conduct on the basis that Wynn Macau SA is responsible for the supervision of Dore’s activities at Wynn Macau that resulted in the purported losses.

The Company believes these cases are without merit and unfounded and intends to vigorously defend against the remaining claims pleaded against Wynn Macau SA in these lawsuits. The Company has made estimates for potential litigation costs based upon its assessment of the likely outcome and has recorded provisions for such amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of the pending Dore cases, and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Securities Class Action

On February 20, 2018, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers of the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (which was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court, District of Nevada) by John V. Ferris and Joann M. Ferris on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between February 28, 2014 and January 25, 2018. The complaint alleges, among other things, certain violations of federal securities laws and seeks to recover unspecified damages as well as attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. On April 15, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, which the court granted on May 27, 2020, with leave to amend. On July 1, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On August 14, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 28, 2021, the court granted in part, and denied in part, the Company's motion to dismiss the amended complaint, dismissing certain of plaintiffs' claims, including all claims against current CEO Craig Billings and the individual directors, and allowing other claims to proceed against the Company and several of the Company's former executive officers, including Matthew Maddox, Stephen A. Wynn, Kimmarie Sinatra, and Steven Cootey. On March 2, 2023, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification and appointed lead counsel. The parties are now proceeding with discovery.

The defendants in this action intend to vigorously defend against the claims pleaded against them and believe that the claims are without merit. This action is in the preliminary stages and the Company has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the range of possible loss, if any.

Federal Investigation

From time to time, the Company receives regulatory inquiries about compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The Company received requests for information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California relating to its anti-money laundering policies and procedures, and beginning in 2020 received several grand jury subpoenas regarding various transactions at Wynn Las Vegas relating to certain patrons and agents who reside or operate in foreign jurisdictions. The Company continues to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's Office in its investigation, which remains ongoing. Because no charges or claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation, the extent of the materiality of the outcome, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company.

Note 19 - Retail Joint Venture

In December 2016, the Company entered into the Retail Joint Venture with Crown Acquisitions Inc. ("Crown") to own and operate approximately 88,000 square feet of existing retail space at Wynn Las Vegas. In November 2017 and March 2022, the Company contributed approximately 74,000 square feet and 70,000 square feet of additional retail space to the Retail Joint Venture. The Company maintains a 50.1% ownership in the Retail Joint Venture and is the managing member. The Company's responsibilities with respect to the Retail Joint Venture include day-to-day business operations, property management services and a role in the leasing decisions of the retail space.

The Company assessed its ownership in the Retail Joint Venture based on consolidation accounting guidance with an evaluation being performed to determine if the Retail Joint Venture is a VIE, if the Company has a variable interest in the Retail Joint Venture and if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the Retail Joint Venture. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

has an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.

The Company concluded that the Retail Joint Venture is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary based on its involvement in the leasing activities of the Retail Joint Venture. As a result, the Company consolidates all of the Retail Joint Venture's assets, liabilities and results of operations. The Company will evaluate its primary beneficiary designation on an ongoing basis and will assess the appropriateness of the Retail Joint Venture's VIE status when changes occur.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Retail Joint Venture had total assets of $102.5 million and $102.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $621.9 million and $620.9 million, respectively. The Retail Joint Venture's total liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 included long-term debt of $614.1 million and $613.5 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs, related to the outstanding borrowings under the Retail Term Loan.

Note 20 - Segment Information

The Company has identified its reportable segments based on factors such as geography, regulatory environment, the information reviewed by its chief operating decision maker, and the Company's organizational and management reporting structure.

The Company has identified the following reportable segments: (i) Wynn Macau, representing the aggregate of Wynn Macau and Encore, an expansion at Wynn Macau, which are managed as a single integrated resort; (ii) Wynn Palace; (iii) Las Vegas Operations, representing the aggregate of Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture, which are managed as a single integrated resort; (iv) Encore Boston Harbor; and (v) Wynn Interactive.

(1)"Adjusted Property EBITDAR" is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expenses, gain on EBH Transaction, net, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, property charges and other, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other (including intercompany golf course, meeting and convention, and water rights leases), stock-based compensation, change in derivatives fair value, loss on debt financing transactions, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDAR as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted Property EBITDAR because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDAR as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDAR calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDAR should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of the Company's performance, 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 GAAP. Unlike net income (loss), Adjusted Property EBITDAR does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDAR. Also, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDAR may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

(2)For the year ended December 31, 2023, includes $94.9 million related to the Company's decision to cease operating Wynn Interactive's online sports betting and iGaming platform in certain jurisdictions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Quarterly Consolidated Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following tables (in thousands, except per share data) present selected quarterly financial information for 2023 and 2022, as previously reported. Because income (loss) per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each quarter, the sum of the per share amounts for the four quarters may not equal the total income per share amounts for the year.
