PR Newswire

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS), the world's leading developer and operator of convention-based Integrated Resorts, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter Overview

Mr. Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased to have continued to execute our strategic objectives this quarter and to have delivered a solid operating performance in each of our markets, which enabled us to generate $1.14 billion in adjusted property EBITDA for the quarter, an increase of 8.6% compared to the third quarter of 2015. Importantly, the operating environment in Macao continued to improve during the quarter, particularly in the mass segment, as the Macao market exhibited growth in total gaming revenue, overnight visitation, and length of stay. Our Macao portfolio experienced strong visitation and enjoyed the benefits of our market-leading hotel, retail and entertainment offerings while generating $628.5 million in adjusted property EBITDA, an increase of 15.3% over the same quarter last year. 

"The Parisian Macao, our latest Integrated Resort on the Cotai Strip in Macao, opened on September 13, 2016, expanding our hotel, group meeting retail and entertainment offerings, and contributing more than $19 million of adjusted property EBITDA (at an EBITDA margin of 28.0%) during its first 18 days of operation. We are pleased to have had the opportunity to invest approximately $13 billion in Macao, contributing to Macao's diversification and appeal as a business and leisure tourism destination. We remain confident that our market-leading Cotai Strip properties will continue to provide the economic benefits of diversification to Macao, help attract greater numbers of business and leisure travelers, and provide both Macao and our company an outstanding and diversified platform for growth in the years ahead.

"We remain steadfast in our focus on the consistent execution of our proven global growth strategy, which leverages the power of our unique convention-based Integrated Resort business model. Our business model generates the industry's most diversified set of cash flows and delivers the industry's highest revenue and profit from non-gaming segments, while bringing unsurpassed economic and diversification benefits to the regions in which we operate. We remain confident in our ability to further extend our global leadership position and deliver strong growth in the future.

"The prudent management of our cash flow, including the ability to continue the return of capital to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity to invest in future growth opportunities, remains a cornerstone of our strategy. Accordingly, I am extremely pleased to announce that the company's Board of Directors has increased the company's recurring common stock dividend for the 2017 calendar year to $2.92 per share, or $0.73 per quarter."

The company paid a recurring quarterly dividend of $0.72 per common share during the quarter. The company announced that its next recurring quarterly dividend of $0.72 per common share will be paid on December 30, 2016, to Las Vegas Sands shareholders of record on December 21, 2016.   

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore continues to attract visitors from across the region to Singapore. Consistent mass win-per-day of $4.8 million and strength in non-gaming revenues, including a 10.4% increase in RevPAR, and higher win percentage in the rolling gaming segment contributed to an adjusted property EBITDA performance of $390.7 million, up 0.3% compared to the same quarter last year.

At The Venetian Las Vegas and The Palazzo, including the Sands Expo and Convention Center, an 8.9% year-over-year increase in RevPAR to $232, and growth in slot volumes and non-Baccarat table win, drove a 6.9% increase in adjusted property EBITDA during the quarter.

Company-Wide Operating Results

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2016 increased 2.6% to $2.97 billion, compared to $2.89 billion in the third quarter of 2015. Net income decreased 2.1% to $605.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $618.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

On a GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) basis, operating income in the third quarter of 2016 decreased 2.6% to $719.6 million, compared to $739.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. The modest decrease in operating income was a result of higher pre-opening and depreciation and amortization expenses during the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by stronger results across the company's Macao and Las Vegas property portfolios. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) of $1.14 billion increased 8.6% in the third quarter of 2016, compared to the year-ago quarter. On a hold-normalized basis, adjusted property EBITDA decreased 2.6% to $1.06 billion in the third quarter of 2016. 

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands in the third quarter of 2016 decreased 1.2% to $513.4 million, compared to $519.4 million in the third quarter of 2015, while diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2016 of $0.65, was unchanged compared to the prior-year quarter. The decrease in net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands reflected the decline in operating income described above, partially offset by a decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and a slightly lower tax expense. 

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) increased 8.0% to $572.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to $529.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015.

Sands China Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results

On a GAAP basis, total net revenues for Sands China Ltd. (SCL) increased 3.6% to $1.72 billion in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $1.66 billion in the third quarter of 2015. Net income for SCL decreased 5.5% to $324.3 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $343.2 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Pre-opening expense was $85.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily related to The Parisian Macao.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $277.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $247.7 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $65.2 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $67.0 million in the prior-year quarter.

Las Vegas Sands Corp.
Third Quarter 2016 Results
Non-GAAP Measures

Within the Company's third quarter 2016 press release, the Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company's consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") including "adjusted net income," "adjusted earnings per diluted share," and "consolidated adjusted property EBITDA," which have directly comparable GAAP financial measures along with "adjusted property EBITDA margin," "hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA," "hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA margin," "hold-normalized adjusted net income," and "hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share." The Company believes these measures represent important internal measures of financial performance. Whenever such information is presented, the Company has complied with the provisions of the rules under Regulation G, Item 10(e) from Regulation S-K and Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. Set forth in the financial schedules accompanying this release are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measure disclosure by the Company has limitations and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and the specific reasons why the Company's management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are presented below.

The following non-GAAP financial measures are used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate the Company's operations and operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented so that investors have the same financial data that management uses in evaluating financial performance with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying financial performance of the Company on a year-over-year and a quarter sequential basis.

Adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes certain non-recurring corporate expenses, pre-opening expense, development expense, gain or loss on disposal of assets, loss on modification or early retirement of debt and fair value adjustment of forward contracts, attributable to Las Vegas Sands, net of income tax. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share are presented as supplemental disclosures as management believes they are (1) each widely used measures of performance by industry analysts and investors and (2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies, as these non-GAAP measures are considered by many as an alternative measure on which to base expectations for future results. These measures also form the basis of certain internal management performance expectations.

Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of its operations with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Gaming companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, consolidated adjusted property EBITDA as presented by Las Vegas Sands Corp. may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA, a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, that, in addition to the aforementioned reasons for the presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, is presented to adjust for the impact of certain variances in table games' win percentages, which can vary from period to period. Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA is based on applying a Rolling Chip win percentage of 2.85% to the Rolling Chip volume for the quarter if the actual win percentage is outside the expected range of 2.7% to 3.0% for our Macao and Singapore properties, and applying a win percentage of 25.0% for Baccarat and 18.0% for non-Baccarat games to the respective table games drops for the quarter if the actual win percentages are outside the expected ranges of 21.0% to 29.0% for Baccarat and 16.0% to 20.0% for non-Baccarat at our Las Vegas properties. No hold adjustments are made for Sands Bethlehem. We do not present adjustments for Non-Rolling Chip drop for our table games play at our Macao and Singapore properties, nor for slots at any of our properties. Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA is also adjusted for the estimated gaming taxes, commissions paid to third parties on the incremental win, bad debt expense, discounts and other incentives that would have been incurred when applying the win percentages noted above to the respective gaming volumes. The hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA measure presents a consistent measure for evaluating the operating performance of our properties from period to period.

Hold-normalized adjusted net income and hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share are additional supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that, in addition to the aforementioned reasons for the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, are presented to adjust for the impact of certain variances in table games' win percentages, which can vary from period to period.

The Company may also present the above items on a constant currency basis. This information is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by translating current quarter local currency amounts to U.S. dollars based on prior period exchange rates. These amounts are compared to the prior period to derive non-GAAP constant-currency growth/decline. Management considers non-GAAP constant-currency growth/decline to be a useful metric to investors and management as it allows a more direct comparison of current performance to historical performance.

The Company also makes reference to adjusted property EBITDA margin and hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA margin, which are calculated using the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures.

(1) For Macao Property Operations and Marina Bay Sands, this represents the estimated incremental casino revenue related to Rolling volume play that would have been earned or lost had the Company's current period win percentage equaled 2.85%. This calculation will only be done if the current period win percentage is outside the expected range of 2.7% to 3.0%. 


For the Las Vegas Operating Properties, this represents the estimated incremental casino revenue related to all table games play that would have been earned or lost had the Company's current period win percentage equaled 25.0% for Baccarat and 18.0% for non-Baccarat. This calculation will only be done if the current period win percentages for Baccarat and non-Baccarat are outside the expected ranges of 21.0% to 29.0% and 16.0% to 20.0%, respectively. 


For Sands Bethlehem, no adjustments have been, or will be, made.


These amounts have been offset by the estimated commissions paid and discounts and other incentives rebated directly or indirectly to customers.


(2) Represents the estimated incremental expenses (gaming taxes, bad debt expense and commissions paid to third parties) that would have been incurred or avoided on the incremental casino revenue calculated in (1) above.
