MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)  

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Organization. MGM Resorts International (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that acts largely as a holding company and, through wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and/or operates casino resorts. The Company owns and operates the following casino resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada: Bellagio, MGM Grand Las Vegas, The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Monte Carlo, Excalibur and Circus Circus Las Vegas. Operations at MGM Grand Las Vegas include management of The Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas, a condominium-hotel consisting of three towers. In July 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Circus Circus Reno in Reno, Nevada, as discussed in Note 3. Along with local investors, the Company owns and operates MGM Grand Detroit in Detroit, Michigan. The Company owns and operates two resorts in Mississippi: Beau Rivage in Biloxi and Gold Strike Tunica. The Company also owns Shadow Creek, an exclusive world-class golf course located approximately ten miles north of its Las Vegas Strip resorts, Primm Valley Golf Club at the California/Nevada state line and Fallen Oak golf course in Saucier, Mississippi.

 

The Company owns 51% and has a controlling interest in MGM China Holdings Limited (“MGM China”), which owns MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”), the Macau company that owns and operates the MGM Macau resort and casino and the related gaming subconcession and land concession. MGM Grand Paradise also has a land concession contract with the government of Macau to develop a second resort and casino on an approximately 18 acre site in Cotai, Macau (“MGM Cotai”). MGM Cotai will be an integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resort with approximately 1,500 hotel rooms, and up to 500 gaming tables and 1,500 slots. The total estimated project budget is $3.0 billion, excluding development fees eliminated in consolidation, capitalized interest and land related costs.

 

The Company owns 50% of CityCenter, located between Bellagio and Monte Carlo. The other 50% of CityCenter is owned by Infinity World Development Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai World, a Dubai, United Arab Emirates government decree entity. CityCenter consists of Aria, a casino resort; Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, a non-gaming boutique hotel; Crystals, a retail, dining and entertainment district; and Vdara, a luxury condominium-hotel. In addition, CityCenter features residential units in the Residences at Mandarin Oriental and Veer. The Company receives a management fee of 2% of revenues for the management of Aria and Vdara, and 5% of EBITDA (as defined in the agreements governing the Company’s management of Aria and Vdara). In addition, the Company receives an annual fee of $3 million for the management of Crystals. See Note 4 for additional information related to CityCenter.

 

The Company owns 50% of the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa (“Borgata”) located on Renaissance Pointe in the Marina area of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Boyd Gaming Corporation owns the other 50% of Borgata and also operates the resort. The Company also has a 50% interest in Grand Victoria. Grand Victoria is a riverboat casino in Elgin, Illinois; an affiliate of Hyatt Gaming owns the other 50% of Grand Victoria and also operates the resort. In July 2015, the Company entered an agreement to sell its 50% interest in Silver Legacy, located in Reno, Nevada. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

 

The Company has entered into management agreements for future non-gaming hotels, resorts and residential products in the Middle East, North Africa, India and the United States. In 2014, the Company and the Hakkasan Group formed MGM Hakkasan Hospitality (“MGM Hakkasan”), owned 50% by each member, to design, develop and manage luxury non-gaming hotels, resorts and residences under certain brands licensed from the Company and the Hakkasan Group. Upon formation, the Company contributed its management agreements for non-gaming hotels, resorts and residential projects (outside of the greater China region) under development to MGM Hakkasan. In May 2015, the Company and the Hakkasan Group mutually agreed to terminate MGM Hakkasan and the brand license from Hakkasan Group. The Company will continue to develop these projects under its brands through MGM Hospitality (a wholly-owned subsidiary). Additionally, the Company will continue to develop and manage properties in the greater China region with Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, including MGM Grand Sanya.

 

The Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission has awarded the Company’s subsidiary developing MGM National Harbor the license to build and operate a destination resort casino in Prince George’s County at National Harbor. The expected cost to develop and construct MGM National Harbor is approximately $1.3 billion, excluding capitalized interest and land related costs. The Company expects the resort to include a casino with approximately 3,600 slots and 160 table games including poker; a 300-room hotel with luxury spa and rooftop pool; 79,000 square feet of high‑end branded retail and fine and casual dining; a 3,000-seat theater venue; 50,000 square feet of meeting and event space; and a 4,700-space parking garage.

 

The Company’s subsidiary that will develop MGM Springfield was awarded the Category One casino license in Region B, Western Massachusetts, one of three licensing regions designated by legislation, to build and operate MGM Springfield. MGM Springfield will be developed on 14.5 acres of land in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts. The expected cost to develop and

5


 

construct MGM Springfield is $760 million, excluding capitalized interest and land related costs. The Company expects the resort will include a casino with approximately 3,000 slots and 100 table games including poker; a 250-room hotel; 90,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space; 45,000 square feet of meeting and event space; and a 3,500-space parking garage.

 

In 2013, the Company formed Las Vegas Arena Company, LLC (the “Las Vegas Arena Company”) with a subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc. (“AEG”) - a leader in sports, entertainment, and promotions - to design, construct, and operate the Las Vegas Arena, which will be located on a parcel of the Company’s land between Frank Sinatra Drive and New York-New York, adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. The Company and AEG each own 50% of Las Vegas Arena Company. The Las Vegas Arena is anticipated to seat between 18,000 – 20,000 people. Such development is estimated to cost approximately $350 million, excluding capitalized interest and land related costs.

 

The Company has two reportable segments: wholly owned domestic resorts and MGM China. See Note 11 for additional information about the Company’s segments.

 

NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2014 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial statements. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Company’s investment in Borgata under the equity method for all periods presented in this quarterly report. The impact of the retroactive adjustments on net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was an increase of $4 million and a decrease of $1 million, respectively.

 

Fair value measurements. Fair value measurements affect the Company’s accounting and impairment assessments of its long-lived assets, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, cost method investments, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition, and goodwill and other intangible assets. Fair value measurements also affect the Company’s accounting for certain of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as 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 and is measured according to a hierarchy that includes: Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in an active market; Level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets; or Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs. The Company uses Level 1 inputs for its long-term debt fair value disclosures. See Note 5.

 

 

Property and equipment. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had accrued $12 million for property and equipment within “Accounts payable” and $33 million related to construction retention in “Other long-term obligations.” In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into capital leases with obligations of $12 million.

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets.  Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations.  Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets must be reviewed for impairment at least annually and between annual test dates in certain circumstances. The Company performs its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Due to a significant decrease in MGM China’s cash flows as well as a decline in the market capitalization of MGM China relative to its net book value, the Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill related to the MGM China reporting unit in the second quarter of 2015.

 

Goodwill for relevant reporting units is tested for impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the estimated future results of the Company’s reporting units discounted using market discount rates and market indicators of terminal year capitalization rates, and a market approach that utilizes business enterprise value multiples based on a range of multiples from the reporting unit’s peer group.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an indication of impairment exists and the Company must proceed to measure an impairment loss, if any.  In measuring an impairment loss, the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to its assets and liabilities and the amount remaining, if any, is the implied fair value of goodwill.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value then it must be written down to its implied fair value.

 

6


 

The results of the Company’s interim impairment test indicated the fair value of the MGM China reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 9%. Therefore, the Company concluded that the carrying value of goodwill of $2.8 billion related to MGM China was not impaired based on the interim test. The Company will continue to monitor the results of this reporting unit.

 

Redeemable noncontrolling interest. In April 2015, MGM National Harbor issued non-voting membership interests in MGM National Harbor (“Membership Interests”) to Radio One, Inc. (“Radio One”), a noncontrolling interest party, for a purchase price of $5 million. In addition, Radio One was given the right to make one additional capital contribution of up to $35 million prior to July 1, 2016 for the purchase of additional Membership Interests.

 

The Membership Interests provide for annual preferred distributions by MGM National Harbor to Radio One based on a percentage of its annual net gaming revenue (as defined in the MGM National Harbor operating agreement). Such distributions will begin within ninety days after the end of the fiscal year in which the opening date of MGM National Harbor occurs, and after the end of each subsequent fiscal year. Also, beginning on the third anniversary of the last day of the calendar quarter in which the opening date of MGM National Harbor occurs (and on each subsequent anniversary thereof) Radio One will have the ability to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of its Membership Interests for a purchase price that is based on a contractually agreed upon formula.  Radio One also has the right to sell back all or a portion of its Membership Interest prior to such date if MGM National Harbor were to guarantee or grant liens to secure any indebtedness of the Company other than the indebtedness of MGM National Harbor.

 

The Company has recorded the Membership Interests as “Redeemable noncontrolling interest” in the mezzanine section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and not stockholders’ equity because their redemption is not exclusively in the Company’s control.  Membership Interests are initially accounted for at fair value. Subsequently, the Company will recognize changes in the redemption value as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests to equal the maximum redemption value, provided such amount does not fall below the initial carrying value, at the end of each reporting period.  The Company will reflect any changes caused by such an adjustment in retained earnings.

 

Income tax provision. For interim income tax reporting the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to its year-to-date ordinary income. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (3.1)% and (21.5)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, related to tax loss and credit carryforwards and other temporary differences with a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied. As of December 31, 2014, the scheduled future reversal of existing U.S. federal taxable temporary differences exceeded the scheduled future reversal of existing U.S. federal deductible temporary differences.  Consequently, the Company no longer applies a valuation allowance against its domestic deferred tax assets other than its foreign tax credit deferred tax asset.

 

The Company generates significant excess foreign tax credits each year that are attributable to the Macau Special Gaming Tax which is 35% of gross gaming revenue in Macau.  Because MGM China is presently exempt from the Macau 12% complementary tax on gaming profits, the Company believes that payment of the Macau Special Gaming Tax qualifies as a tax paid in lieu of an income tax that is creditable against U.S. taxes. As long as the exemption from Macau’s 12% complementary tax on gaming profits continues and the Company continues to receive distributions from MGM China, the Company expects that it will generate excess foreign tax credits on an annual basis and that none of the excess foreign credits will be utilized until the exemption expires. Although the Company’s current five-year exemption from the Macau 12% complementary tax on gaming profits ends on December 31, 2016, the Company believes it will be entitled to receive a third five-year exemption from Macau based upon exemptions granted to the Company’s competitors in order to ensure non-discriminatory treatment among gaming concessionaires and subconcessionaires. For all periods beyond December 31, 2021, the Company has assumed that it will be paying the Macau 12% complementary tax on gaming profits and will thus not be able to credit the Macau Special Gaming Tax in such years, and has factored that assumption into its assessment of the realization of the foreign tax credit deferred tax asset.  Furthermore, the Company does not rely on future U.S. source operating income in assessing future foreign tax credit realization due to its history of recent losses in the U.S. and therefore only relies on U.S. federal taxable temporary differences that it expects will reverse during the 10-year foreign tax credit carryover period.

 

7


 

The Company’s assessment of realization of its foreign tax credit deferred tax asset is based on available evidence, including assumptions about future profitability of and distributions from MGM China, as well as its assumption concerning renewals of the five-year exemption from Macau’s 12% complementary tax on gaming profits.  As a result, significant judgment is required in assessing the possible need for a valuation allowance and changes to such assumptions may have a material impact on the amount of the valuation allowance.  For example, should the Company in a future period actually receive or be able to assume an additional five-year exemption, an additional valuation allowance would likely need to be provided on some portion or all of the foreign tax credit deferred tax asset, resulting in an increase in the provision for income taxes in such period and such increase may be material.  In addition, a change to forecasts of future profitability of, and distributions from, MGM China could also result in a material change in the valuation allowance with a corresponding impact on the provision for income taxes in such period.

 

The Company projects that it will be able to realize a benefit and, hence, projects that it will record a deferred tax asset for foreign tax credits, net of valuation allowance, of approximately $181 million as of December 31, 2015 and has reflected this assumption in its annual effective tax rate for 2015.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reassessed the foreign tax credit valuation allowance as a result of the continued decline in market conditions in Macau.  The valuation allowance was increased by $71 million and $82 million, respectively, of which $30 million and $40 million was recorded as a direct reduction in income tax benefit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, with the remainder impacting the effective tax rate for 2015.

 

 

Recently issued accounting standards. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”), which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. Additionally, the new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” (“ASU 2015-02”), which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  ASU 2015-02 amends: the assessment of whether a limited partnership is a variable interest entity; the effect that fees paid to a decision maker have on the consolidation analysis; how variable interests held by a reporting entity’s related parties or de facto agents affect its consolidation conclusion; and for entities other than limited partnerships, clarifies how to determine whether the equity holders as a group have power over an entity. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

NOTE 3 — ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

On April 1, 2015, the Company closed the sale of Railroad Pass.  At closing, the Company received $8 million in cash proceeds. The assets and liabilities of Railroad Pass were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, assets held for sale of $9 million, comprised predominantly of property and equipment, were classified within “Prepaid expenses and other” and liabilities related to assets held for sale of $2 million, comprised of accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, were classified within “Other accrued liabilities.”

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company closed the sale of Gold Strike and related assets in Jean, Nevada. At closing, the Company received $12 million in cash proceeds. The assets and liabilities of Gold Strike were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, assets held for sale of $14 million, comprised predominantly of property and equipment, were classified within “Prepaid expenses and other” and liabilities related to assets held for sale of $2 million, comprised of accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, were classified within “Other accrued liabilities.”

 

Railroad Pass and Gold Strike were not classified as discontinued operations because the Company concluded that the sales will not have a major effect on the Company’s operations or its financial results and they do not represent a disposal of a major geographic segment or product line.

 

On July 7, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Eldorado Resorts, Inc. to sell Circus Circus Reno, as well as the Company’s 50% interest in Silver Legacy and associated real property, for total consideration of $73 million plus Circus Circus Reno’s working capital. The Company allocated $20 million of the $73 million to Circus Circus Reno in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement. The sale is contingent upon regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.  The carrying value of the Circus Circus Reno assets and liabilities to be sold of $28 million and $8 million, respectively, were not classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2015. Circus Circus Reno will not be classified as discontinued operations because the Company has concluded that the

8


 

sale will not have a major effect on the Company’s operations or its financial results and it does not represent a disposal of a major geographic segment or product line. See Note 4 for further discussion of the sale of the Company’s 50% investment in Silver Legacy.

CityCenter litigation settlement. In December 2014, the Company and CityCenter entered into a settlement agreement with Perini Building Company, Inc. (“Perini”), general contractor for CityCenter, the remaining Perini subcontractors and relevant insurers to resolve all outstanding project lien claims and CityCenter’s counterclaims relating to the Harmon Hotel and Spa. The settlement was subject to execution of a global settlement agreement among the parties described above, which was subsequently executed, and CityCenter’s procurement of replacement general liability insurance covering construction of the CityCenter development, which was

9


 

obtained in January 2015. The proceeds pursuant to such global settlement agreement, combined with certain prior Harmon-related insurance settlement proceeds, resulted in a gain of $160 million recorded by CityCenter during the first quarter of 2015, of which the Company recorded its 50% share of $80 million.

 

CityCenter dividend. In April 2015, CityCenter adopted an annual distribution policy and declared a special dividend of $400 million, of which the Company received its 50% share of $200 million. Under the annual distribution policy, CityCenter will distribute up to 35% of excess cash flow, subject to the approval of the CityCenter board of directors.

 

Grand Victoria

 

At June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $29 million on its investment in Grand Victoria based on the then estimated fair value of $140 million for its 50% interest.

 

Silver Legacy

 

As discussed in Note 3, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 50% interest in Silver Legacy and associated real property for approximately $53 million. The carrying value of the Company’s 50% interest in Silver Legacy and the associated real property was $33 million as of June 30, 2015.  The Company’s investment in Silver Legacy was not classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2015 and will not be classified as discontinued operations because the Company has concluded that the sale will not have a major effect on the Company’s operations or its financial results and it does not represent a disposal of a major geographic segment or product line.

As of June 30, 2015, the amount available under the Company’s revolving senior credit facility was less than current maturities related to the Company’s term loan credit facilities and senior notes. The Company excluded from the June 30, 2015 current portion of long-term debt the amount available for refinancing under its revolving credit facility, with the exception that all of its $875 million of senior notes were classified as current because the Company used cash to repay such notes at maturity in July 2015. At December 31, 2014, the amount available under the Company’s revolving senior credit facility was less than current maturities related to the Company’s term loan credit facilities, convertible senior notes and senior notes. The Company excluded from the December 31, 2014 current portion of long-term debt the amount available for refinancing under its revolving credit facility.

 

Senior credit facility. At June 30, 2015, the Company’s senior credit facility consisted of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility, a $1.02 billion term loan A facility and a $1.71 billion term loan B facility. The revolving and term loan A facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable rate determined by the Company’s credit rating (2.75% as of June 30, 2015). The term loan B facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The revolving and term loan A facilities mature in December 2017 and the term loan B facility matures in December 2019. The term loan A and term loan B facilities are subject to scheduled amortization payments on the last day of each calendar quarter in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal balance. The Company permanently repaid $7 million and $14 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, in accordance with the scheduled amortization. The Company had $1.1 billion of available borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, the interest rate on the term loan A was 2.9% and the interest rate on the term loan B was 3.5%.  

 

The land and substantially all of the assets of MGM Grand Las Vegas, Bellagio and The Mirage secure up to $3.35 billion of obligations outstanding under the senior credit facility. In addition, the land and substantially all of the assets of New York-New York and Gold Strike Tunica secure the entire amount of the senior credit facility and the land and substantially all of the assets of MGM Grand Detroit secure its $450 million of obligations as a co-borrower under the senior credit facility. In addition, the senior credit facility is secured by a pledge of the equity or limited liability company interests of the subsidiaries that own the pledged properties.

 

The senior credit facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the senior credit facility requires the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (the “Restricted Group”) to maintain a minimum trailing four-quarter EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit facility) and limits the ability of the Restricted Group to make capital expenditures and investments. As of June 30, 2015, the Restricted Group was required to maintain a minimum EBITDA of $1.25 billion. The minimum EBITDA requirement increases to $1.30 billion for September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 and to $1.35 billion for March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, with periodic increases thereafter. EBITDA for the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2015, calculated in accordance with the terms of the senior credit facility (which includes cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, such as the CityCenter dividend), was $1.59 billion. The senior credit facility limits the Restricted Group to capital expenditures of $500 million per fiscal year, with unused amounts in any fiscal year rolling over to the next fiscal year, but not any fiscal year thereafter. The Restricted Group’s total capital expenditures allowable under the senior credit facility for fiscal year 2015, after giving effect to unused amounts from 2014, was $794 million. In addition, the senior credit facility limits the Restricted Group’s ability to make investments subject to certain thresholds and other important exceptions. As of June 30, 2015, the Restricted Group was within the limit of capital expenditures and other investments for the 2015 calendar year.

 

The senior credit facility provides for customary events of default, including, without limitation, (i) payment defaults, (ii) covenant defaults, (iii) cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, (iv) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, (v) judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts, (vi) the failure of any loan document by a significant party to be in full force and effect and such circumstance, in the reasonable judgment of the required lenders, is materially adverse to the lenders, or (vii) the security documents cease to create a valid and perfected first priority lien on any material portion of the collateral. In addition, the senior credit facility provides that a cessation of business due to revocation, suspension or loss of any gaming license affecting a specified amount of its revenues or assets, will constitute an event of default.

 

MGM Grand Paradise credit facility. In June 2015, MGM China and MGM Grand Paradise, as co-borrowers, entered into a second amended and restated credit facility which consists of $1.55 billion of term loans and a $1.45 billion revolving credit facility. The term of the original facilities was extended for an eighteen month period to April 2019, with scheduled amortization payments of the term loans beginning in October 2017. The MGM Grand Paradise credit facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate per annum based on HIBOR plus a margin, initially set for a six month period at 1.75% per annum, but thereafter will range between 1.375% and 2.50% based on MGM China’s leverage ratio. The MGM Grand Paradise credit facility is secured by MGM Grand Paradise’s interest in the Cotai land use right, and MGM China, MGM Grand Paradise and their guarantor subsidiaries have granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets to secure the facility.

 

As of June 30, 2015, $631 million of term loans and $597 million of revolving loans were outstanding under the MGM Grand Paradise credit facility. In July 2015, MGM China repaid the full amount of revolving loans outstanding and borrowed the remaining capacity under the term loan facility for total term loans outstanding of $1.55 billion. At June 30, 2015, the interest rate on the term loans and outstanding revolving loans was 1.99%.

The MGM Grand Paradise credit facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, which impose restrictions on, among other things, the ability of MGM China and its subsidiaries to make investments, pay dividends and sell assets, and to incur additional liens. MGM China is also required to maintain compliance with a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00 prior to the first anniversary of the MGM Cotai opening date and 4.00 to 1.00 thereafter, in addition to a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00. MGM China was in compliance with its credit facility covenants at June 30, 2015.

 

Convertible senior notes. In April 2015, holders of substantially all of the $1.45 billion in aggregate principle amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes elected to convert the notes into approximately 78 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  The notes were converted at 53.83 shares of common stock per $1,000 principle amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $18.58 per share.  In addition, the Company settled the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the initial issuance of $1.15 billion aggregate principle amount of notes and received approximately 6 million shares from such financial institutions. Such shares received in connection with the capped call transactions were subsequently retired.  

 

Fair value of long-term debt. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at June 30, 2015 was $13.9 billion. At December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $15.1 billion. Fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the Company’s senior notes and senior credit facility. Carrying value of the MGM Grand Paradise credit facility approximates fair value.

 

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

CityCenter completion guarantee. In October 2013, the Company entered into a third amended and restated completion and cost overrun guarantee, which was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Circus Circus Las Vegas, as well as certain land adjacent to that property. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had funded $888 million under the completion guarantee. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company fulfilled its remaining significant obligations under the completion guarantee in conjunction with the resolution of the Perini litigation and related settlement agreements. In June 2015, the completion guarantee was terminated and the collateral assets securing such completion guarantee were released.

 

Cotai land concession contract. MGM Grand Paradise’s land concession contract for an approximate 18 acre site on the Cotai Strip in Macau became effective on January 9, 2013 and has an initial term of 25 years. The total land premium payable to the Macau government for the land concession contract is $161 million and is composed of a down payment and eight additional semi-annual installments. As of June 30, 2015, MGM China had paid $115 million of the contract premium, including interest due on the semi-annual installments, and the amount paid is recorded within “Other long-term assets, net.” In July 2015, MGM China paid the fifth semi-annual installment of $15 million under the land concession contract. Including interest on the three remaining semi-annual installments, MGM China has approximately $44 million remaining payable for the land concession contract. Under the terms of the land concession contract, MGM Grand Paradise is required to complete the development of the land by January 2018.

 

Las Vegas Arena. In conjunction with Las Vegas Arena Company entering a senior secured credit facility in 2014, the Company and AEG each entered joint and several completion guarantees for the project, as well as a repayment guarantee for the $75 million term loan B (subject to increases and decreases in the event of a rebalancing of the principal amount of indebtedness between the term loan A and term loan B facilities). Additionally, in conjunction with the Las Vegas Arena Company’s senior secured credit facility, the Company and AEG have pledged to contribute equal amounts totaling $175 million for construction, of which $143 million has been contributed as of June 30, 2015.

 

Other guarantees. The Company is party to various guarantee contracts in the normal course of business, which are generally supported by letters of credit issued by financial institutions. The Company’s senior credit facility limits the amount of letters of credit that can be issued to $500 million, and the amount of available borrowings under the senior credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit.  At June 30, 2015, the Company had provided $52 million of letters of credit. MGM Grand Paradise’s senior credit facility limits the amount of letters of credit that can be issued to $100 million, and the amount of available borrowings under the senior credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit.  At June 30, 2015, MGM China had provided approximately $39 million of guarantees under its credit facility.

 

In connection with the development of MGM Springfield as discussed in Note 1, the Company obtained a surety bond of $52 million naming the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as beneficiary, and payable thereto, in the event that the Company’s subsidiary is unable to complete the gaming establishment.

 

Other litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, most of which relate to routine matters incidental to its business.  Management does not believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Potential dilution from the assumed conversion of convertible debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included the weighted average impact of the convertible senior notes for the period from January 1, 2015 to the date of conversion on April 15, 2015. Additionally, potential dilution from the assumed conversion of convertible debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 did not take into consideration the 6 million shares received pursuant to the capped call transactions as discussed in Note 5, as the effect would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, potential dilution from the assumed conversion of convertible debt relates to the $300 million 4.25% senior convertible notes issued in June 2011. The $1.15 billion 4.25% senior convertible notes issued in April 2010 were excluded from the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was antidilutive.

 

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company’s management views each of its casino resorts as an operating segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. The Company’s principal operating activities occur in two geographic regions: the United States and Macau S.A.R. The Company has aggregated its operations into two reportable segments based on the similar characteristics of the operating segments within the regions in which they operate: wholly owned domestic resorts and MGM China. The Company’s operations related to investments in unconsolidated affiliates and certain other corporate operations and management services have not been identified as separate reportable segments; therefore, these operations are included in “Corporate and other, net” in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results.

 

The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary profit measure for its reportable segments. Adjusted Property EBITDA is a measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense related to the Omnibus Plan, which are not allocated to the reportable segments. MGM China recognizes stock compensation expense related to the MGM China Plan which is included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for MGM China. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses and property transactions, net.

NOTE 12 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

MGM China. MGM Branding and Development Holdings, Ltd. (together with its subsidiary MGM Development Services, Ltd., “MGM Branding and Development”), an entity included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in which Ms. Ho, Pansy Catilina Chiu King indirectly holds a noncontrolling interest, entered into a brand license agreement with MGM China. MGM China pays a license fee to MGM Branding and Development equal to 1.75% of MGM China’s consolidated net revenue, subject to an annual cap of $52 million in 2015 with a 20% increase per annum during the agreement term. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, MGM China incurred total license fees of $10 million and $21 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, MGM China incurred total license fees of $14 million and $31 million, respectively. Such amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

MGM China entered into a development services agreement with MGM Branding and Development to provide certain development services to MGM China in connection with future expansion of existing projects and development of future resort gaming projects. Such services are subject to a development fee which is calculated separately for each resort casino property upon commencement of development. For each such property, the fee is 2.625% of project costs, to be paid in installments as certain benchmarks are achieved. Project costs are the total costs incurred for the design, development and construction of the casino, casino hotel, integrated resort and other related sites associated with each project, including costs of construction, fixtures and fittings, signage, gaming and other supplies and equipment and all costs associated with the opening of the business to be conducted at each project but excluding the cost of land and gaming concessions and financing costs. The development fee for MGM Cotai is subject to a cap of $27 million in 2015, which will increase by 10% per annum for each year during the term of the agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, MGM China paid $10 million of fees to MGM Branding and Development related to development services. Such amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. No fee was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2015. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods. MGM Resorts International together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” MGM China Holdings Limited together with its subsidiaries is referred to as “MGM China.”

 

Executive Overview

 

Our primary business is the ownership and operation of casino resorts, which includes offering gaming, hotel, convention, dining, entertainment, retail and other resort amenities. We believe that we own and invest in several of the premier casino resorts in the world and have continually reinvested in our resorts to maintain our competitive advantage. Most of our revenue is cash-based, through customers wagering with cash or paying for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. We rely heavily on the ability of our resorts to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financings, fund capital expenditures and provide excess cash flow for future development. We make significant investments in our resorts through newly remodeled hotel rooms, restaurants, entertainment and nightlife offerings, as well as other new features and amenities.

 

Results of operations from our wholly owned domestic resorts in the second quarter of 2015 benefited from an increase in operating margins resulting from increases in gaming revenue and REVPAR that outperformed the market.  According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, visitor volume for Las Vegas increased 1%, Las Vegas Strip REVPAR was flat and Las Vegas Strip gaming revenue decreased 1% in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Gross gaming revenues in the Macau market decreased 37% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2014.  We believe operating results have been negatively affected by economic conditions and certain policy initiatives in China, stricter enforcement of entrance into Macau via the use of transit visas as well as a decrease in duration of stay permitted for transit visa holders and the implementation of a full main floor casino smoking ban in October 2014.  The decrease in gross gaming revenues accelerated during the second half of 2014 and has continued into the first half of 2015 as Macau has become an increasingly challenging and competitive market, impacting primarily VIP casino gaming operations, and to a lesser extent main floor operations. According to statistics published by the Statistics and Census Service of the Macau Government, visitor arrivals decreased 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. However, despite concerns over the recent events and the sustainability of economic growth in China, we expect the Macau market to grow on a long-term basis due to further development and penetration of the mainland China market and infrastructure improvements expected to facilitate more convenient travel to and within Macau.  

 

Our results of operations are affected by decisions we make related to our capital allocation, our access to capital and our cost of capital. While we continue to be focused on improving our financial position, we are also dedicated to capitalizing on development opportunities. In Macau, we plan to spend approximately $3.0 billion, excluding development fees eliminated in consolidation, capitalized interest and land related costs, to develop a resort and casino featuring approximately 1,500 hotel rooms, and up to 500 gaming tables and 1,500 slots built on an approximately 18 acre site in Cotai, Macau (“MGM Cotai”). MGM Cotai is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

We were awarded the sixth and final casino license under current statutes in the State of Maryland by the Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission to build and operate MGM National Harbor, a destination resort casino in Prince George’s County at National Harbor. We currently expect the cost to develop and construct MGM National Harbor to be approximately $1.3 billion, excluding capitalized interest and land related costs. We expect that the resort will include a casino with approximately 3,600 slots and 160 table games including poker; a 300-room hotel with luxury spa and rooftop pool; 79,000 square feet of high-end branded retail and fine and casual dining; a 3,000-seat theater venue; 50,000 square feet of meeting and event space; and a 4,700-space parking garage. Construction of MGM National Harbor has commenced with estimated completion in the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

We were awarded the Category One casino license in Region B, Western Massachusetts, one of three licensing regions designated by legislation, to build and operate MGM Springfield. MGM Springfield will be developed on approximately 14.5 acres of land in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts. We currently expect the cost to develop and construct MGM Springfield to be approximately $760 million, excluding capitalized interest and land related costs. We expect the resort will include a casino with approximately 3,000 slots and 100 table games including poker; a 250-room hotel; 90,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space;

26


 

45,000 square feet of meeting and event space; and a 3,500-space parking garage. Construction of MGM Springfield is expected to be completed in late 2018.

 

We entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc. (“AEG”) – leader in sports, entertainment, and promotions – to design, construct, and operate the Las Vegas Arena, which will be located on a parcel of our land between Frank Sinatra Drive and New York-New York, adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. We and AEG each own 50% of Las Vegas Arena Company, the developer of the arena. The Las Vegas Arena is anticipated to seat between 18,000 – 20,000 people and is currently scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2016. Such development is estimated to cost approximately $350 million, excluding capitalized interest and land related costs. In September 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of Las Vegas Arena Company entered into a $200 million senior secured credit facility to finance construction of the Las Vegas Arena.

 

We have two reportable segments: wholly owned domestic resorts and MGM China.  See Note 11 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our segments.

 

Wholly Owned Domestic Resorts

 

Over half of the net revenue from our wholly owned domestic resorts is derived from non-gaming operations including hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other non-gaming amenities. We market to different customer groups and utilize our significant convention and meeting facilities to maximize hotel occupancy and customer volumes during off-peak times such as mid-week or during traditionally slower leisure travel periods, which also leads to better labor utilization. Our operating results are highly dependent on the volume of customers at our resorts, which in turn affects the price we can charge for our hotel rooms and other amenities. Also, we generate a significant portion of our revenue from our wholly owned domestic resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada, which exposes us to certain risks, such as increased competition from new or expanded Las Vegas resorts, and from the expansion of gaming in the United States generally.

 

We have implemented a Profit Growth Plan for sustained growth and margin enhancement. The Profit Growth Plan’s initiatives are focused on improving business processes to optimize our scale for greater efficiency and lower cost throughout our business, and to identify areas of opportunity to organically drive incremental revenue growth. The Profit Growth Plan includes a significant number of opportunities to enhance our business operations.  The plan is expected to result in approximately $300 million of annualized Adjusted EBITDA benefit.  The Profit Growth Plan officially launched in July 2015 and it is expected to begin to show results as early as the second half of 2015 and be fully realized by the end of 2017.

 

Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue at our wholly owned domestic resorts are:

 

·

Gaming revenue indicators – table games drop and slots handle (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. Our normal table games hold percentage is in the range of 18% to 22% of table games drop and our normal slots hold percentage is in the range of 8.0% to 8.5% of slots handle; and

 

·

Hotel revenue indicators – hotel occupancy (a volume indicator); average daily rate (“ADR,” a price indicator); and revenue per available room (“REVPAR,” a summary measure of hotel results, combining ADR and occupancy rate). Our calculation of ADR, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day, includes the impact of complimentary rooms. Complimentary room rates are determined based on an analysis of retail or “cash” rates for each customer segment and each type of room product to estimate complimentary rates which are consistent with retail rates. Complimentary rates are reviewed at least annually and on an interim basis if there are significant changes in market conditions. Because the mix of rooms provided on a complimentary basis, particularly to casino customers, includes a disproportionate suite component, the composite ADR including complimentary rooms is slightly higher than the ADR for cash rooms, reflecting the higher retail value of suites.

 

MGM China

 

We own 51% and have a controlling interest in MGM China Holdings Limited (“MGM China”), which owns MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”), the Macau company that owns and operates the MGM Macau resort and casino and the related gaming subconcession and land concession and is in the process of developing an integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resort in Cotai. We believe our investment in MGM China plays an important role in extending our reach internationally and will foster future growth and profitability.

 

Revenues at MGM Macau are generated from three primary customer segments in the Macau gaming market: VIP casino gaming operations, main floor gaming operations, and slot machine operations. VIP players play mostly in dedicated VIP rooms or designated gaming areas. VIP customers can be further divided into customers sourced by in-house VIP programs and those sourced through gaming promoters. A significant portion of our VIP volume is generated through the use of gaming promoters. Gaming

27


 

promoters introduce VIP gaming players to MGM Macau, assist these customers with travel arrangements, and extend gaming credit to these players. In exchange for their services, gaming promoters are compensated through payment of revenue-sharing arrangements or rolling chip turnover based commissions. In-house VIP players also typically receive a commission based on the program in which they participate. MGM Macau main floor operations primarily consist of walk-in and day trip visitors. Unlike gaming promoters and in-house VIP players, main floor players do not receive commissions. The profit contribution from the main floor segment exceeds the VIP segment due to commission costs paid to gaming promoters. Gaming revenues from the main floor segment have become an increasingly significant portion of total gaming revenues in recent years and we believe this segment represents the most potential for sustainable growth in the future.

 

VIP gaming at MGM Macau is conducted by the use of special purpose nonnegotiable gaming chips. Gaming promoters purchase these nonnegotiable chips from MGM Macau and in turn they sell these chips to their players. The nonnegotiable chips allow MGM Macau to track the amount of wagering conducted by each gaming promoters’ clients in order to determine VIP gaming play. Gaming promoter commissions are based on either a percentage of actual win plus a monthly complimentary allowance based on a percentage of the rolling chip turnover their customers generate, or a percentage of the rolling chip turnover plus discounted offerings on nongaming amenities. The estimated portion of the gaming promoter payments that represent amounts passed through to VIP customers is recorded as a reduction of casino revenue, and the estimated portion retained by the gaming promoter for its compensation is recorded as casino expense. In-house VIP commissions are based on a percentage of rolling chip turnover and are recorded as a reduction of casino revenue.

 

In addition to the key performance indicators used by our wholly owned domestic resorts, MGM Macau utilizes “turnover,” which is the sum of nonnegotiable chip wagers won by MGM Macau calculated as nonnegotiable chips purchased plus nonnegotiable chips exchanged less nonnegotiable chips returned. Turnover provides a basis for measuring VIP casino win percentage. Win for VIP gaming operations at MGM Macau is normally in the range of 2.7% to 3.0% of turnover.

 

Corporate and Other

 

Corporate and other includes our investments in unconsolidated affiliates and certain management and other operations.

Consolidated net revenue decreased 8% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to a decrease in casino revenue at MGM Macau, partially offset by increases in casino and non-casino revenue at our wholly owned domestic resorts. See below for additional information related to segment revenues.

 

Consolidated operating income was $349 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $354 million for the same period in the prior year.  The current year period was negatively affected by the decrease in operating income at MGM Macau, partially offset by increases in operating income at our wholly owned domestic resorts.  Preopening expense increased in the three months ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to the National Harbor and Springfield projects.  In the prior year quarter, operating income was negatively affected by an impairment charge of $29 million related to our investment in Grand Victoria, recorded in “Property Transactions, net.”

 

Consolidated operating income was $744 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $771 million for the same period in the prior year.  The current year period was negatively affected by the decrease in operating income at MGM Macau, offset by an increase in operating income at our wholly owned domestic resorts. Operating income during the six months ended June 30, 2015 benefitted from an increase in income from unconsolidated affiliates, primarily from CityCenter, which included $80 million

Food and beverage revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 3% and 2%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods as a result of an increase in convention and banquet business, an increase in catering revenue related to closed circuit viewing parties for the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight and the opening of several new outlets. Entertainment revenue decreased 3% and 4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, due primarily to a decrease in in-house shows.

 

Adjusted Property EBITDA at our wholly owned domestic resorts increased 11% during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted Property EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2015 increased by 158 basis points to 26.9% compared to the prior year quarter due to the increase in net revenues as discussed above. Adjusted Property EBITDA at our wholly owned domestic resorts increased 4% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period. Adjusted Property EBITDA margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 36 basis points to 25.8% compared to the prior year period as the increase in net revenues was offset primarily by an increase in payroll and related costs.

Corporate and other. Corporate and other revenue includes revenue from corporate operations, management services and reimbursed costs revenue primarily related to our CityCenter management agreement. Corporate and other Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 improved due primarily to an increase in our share of operating income from CityCenter, including certain basis difference adjustments, as well as an increase in our share of operating income from Borgata. See below for additional discussion of our share of operating results from unconsolidated affiliates.

During September 2014, we resumed accounting for our Borgata investment under the equity method and have adjusted our prior period financial statements retroactively as required by generally accepted accounting principles.  See Note 2 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

  

Our share of CityCenter’s operating income, including certain basis difference adjustments, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $22 million. Casino revenues at Aria increased 1%, due to a 7% increase in table games volume, which was partially offset by a lower hold percentage of 21.5% in the current year quarter compared to 23.4% in the prior year quarter. Slots revenue decreased 4% as a result of a decrease in slots hold percentage.  CityCenter’s rooms revenue increased 6% compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in REVPAR at both Aria and Vdara of 8%. CityCenter’s operating income in the current year quarter benefited from a decrease in depreciation expense of $24 million. In addition, property transactions, net was $1 million compared to $16 million in the prior year quarter. Our share of Borgata’s operating income increased $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to an increase in casino and non-casino revenue.

 

Our share of CityCenter’s operating income, including certain basis difference adjustments, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $123 million and included $80 million related to our share of a gain recognized by CityCenter as a result of the final resolution of its construction litigation and related settlements. Casino revenues at Aria decreased 5% due to a decrease in table games volume of 3% and a decrease in hold percentage to 22.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 25.2% for the same period in 2014. Rooms revenue at CityCenter increased 4% due to an increase in REVPAR of 6% and 7% at Aria and Vdara,

31


 

respectively. CityCenter’s operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 benefited from a decrease in depreciation expense of $48 million. Our share of Borgata’s operating income increased $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to an increase in casino and non-casino revenue and a decrease in advertising expense.

 

Non-operating Results

 

Interest expense

 

Gross interest expense increased $8 million and $22 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily as a result of an increase in the average debt balance due to the $1.25 billion 6% senior notes issued in November 2014 and the increase in outstanding revolving loans under the MGM Grand Paradise credit facility, partially offset by less interest as a result of the conversion of the $1.45 billion 4.25% convertible senior notes in April 2015. Capitalized interest was $13 million and $24 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $4 million and $8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.  The increase was due primarily to the MGM Cotai, National Harbor and Springfield projects.

 

Non-operating items from unconsolidated affiliates

 

Non-operating expense from unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $6 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, due primarily to a decrease in interest expense at CityCenter.

 

Income taxes

We recorded income tax benefit of $4 million and $60 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to an income tax benefit of $52 million and $55 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.  The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was adversely impacted by additional valuation allowance recorded against the foreign tax credit deferred tax asset while the income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was favorably impacted by the settlement of our 2005-2009 IRS audits.  Absent these items, the income tax benefit reflected in our effective tax rate would be higher in 2015 than 2014.  Because we no longer have federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2014, the amount of foreign tax credits utilized will increase in 2015 compared to 2014, resulting in greater overall income tax benefit in 2015 than in 2014. The annual effective tax rate calculation for all periods is impacted by assumptions made regarding projected foreign tax credit usage and valuation allowance.  See Note 2 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these assumptions.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses and property transactions, net. “Adjusted Property EBITDA” is Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense related to the MGM Resorts stock option plan, which is not allocated to each property. MGM China recognizes stock compensation expense related to its stock compensation plan which is included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for MGM China. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA information is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes these measures are 1) widely used measures of operating performance in the gaming and hospitality industry, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming and hospitality companies.

 

We believe that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluating our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods being presented. Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when we are developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within our resorts, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period. In addition, capital allocation, tax planning, financing and stock compensation awards are all managed at the corporate level. Therefore, we use Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of wholly owned domestic resorts operating performance.

 

32


 

Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or net income, as an indicator of our performance; or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity; or as any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA information may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Property EBITDA in a different manner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows

 

Our cash and cash equivalents and cash deposits at June 30, 2015 were $2.5 billion, which included $522 million at MGM China.

 

Operating activities. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but can be affected by changes in working capital, the timing of significant tax payments or refunds, and by earnings and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates. Cash provided by operating activities was $447 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $804 million in the prior year period. Operating cash flows decreased due to a decrease in operating income at MGM China in the current year period, partially offset by an increase in operating income at our wholly owned domestic resorts. Operating cash flows related to MGM China were $129 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $453 million in the prior year period, and were also negatively affected by changes in working capital primarily related to short-term gaming liabilities.

 

Investing activities. We made capital expenditures of $594 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, of which $251 million related to MGM China, excluding development fees eliminated in consolidation. Capital expenditures at MGM China included $228 million related to the construction of MGM Cotai and $22 million related to projects at MGM Macau. Capital expenditures at our wholly owned domestic resorts and corporate entities of $343 million included $128 million and $24 million related to the construction of MGM National Harbor and MGM Springfield, respectively, various room remodels including the tower rooms at Mandalay Bay and the suites at Bellagio, construction of additional exhibit space at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, construction of The Park entertainment district, and restaurant and entertainment venue remodels. Most of the costs capitalized at our wholly owned domestic resorts related to furniture and fixtures, materials and external labor costs.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we made capital expenditures of $370 million, of which $184 million related to MGM China and $14 million related to the construction of MGM National Harbor.  Capital expenditures at MGM China included $170 million related to the construction of MGM Cotai and $14 million related to improvements at MGM Macau.  Capital expenditures at our wholly owned domestic resorts and corporate entities included various room remodels including the Delano rooms at Mandalay Bay and suites at Bellagio, a remodel of the facades of New York-New York and Monte Carlo, restaurant and entertainment venue

35


 

remodels and costs incurred to relocate and renovate certain corporate offices. Most of the costs capitalized at our wholly owned domestic resorts related to furniture and fixtures, materials and external labor costs.

 

Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates primarily represented investments in CityCenter pursuant to the completion guarantee and investments in the Las Vegas Arena Company for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, investing activities also included proceeds of $20 million related the sale of Railroad Pass and Gold Strike Jean, $202 million of distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates, which includes a $200 million dividend paid by CityCenter in April 2015, $200 million invested in certificates of deposit with original maturities longer than 90 days and proceeds of $570 million related to the maturity of certificates of deposit with original maturities longer than 90 days. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, investing activities included activity related to the investment of funds held by the trust that held our 50% ownership in Borgata prior to its dissolution in September 2014.

 

Financing activities. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, we borrowed net debt of $659 million, including $674 million of borrowings under the MGM Grand Paradise credit facility, and we paid $46 million of debt issuance costs related to the refinancing of the MGM Grand Paradise credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repaid net debt of $523 million, which included the repayment of the $509 million 5.875% senior notes at maturity on February 27, 2014.

 

MGM China paid a $400 million special dividend in March 2015 and a $120 million final dividend in June 2015, of which $196 million and $59 million was distributed to noncontrolling interests, respectively. MGM China paid a $499 million special dividend in March 2014 and a $127 million final dividend in June 2014, of which $245 million and $62 million was distributed to noncontrolling interests, respectively.

 

Additionally, we received $5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 related to proceeds from the issuance of non-voting membership interests in MGM National Harbor.

 

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

 

Anticipated uses of cash. We have significant outstanding debt and contractual obligations in addition to planned capital expenditures. At June 30, 2015, we had $13.4 billion of indebtedness, including $2.7 billion of borrowings outstanding under our $3.9 billion senior credit facility, and $631 million of term loans and $597 million of revolving loans were outstanding under the $3.0 billion MGM Grand Paradise credit facility. In July 2015, MGM China repaid the full amount of revolving loans outstanding and borrowed the remaining capacity under the term loan facility for total term loans outstanding of $1.55 billion under the MGM Grand Paradise credit facility. In April 2015, substantially all of our $1.45 billion 4.25% convertible senior notes were converted into shares of our common stock. In July 2015, we repaid our $875 million 6.625% senior notes at maturity. We have an estimated $795 million of cash interest payments based on current outstanding debt and applicable interest rates within the next twelve months. We expect to meet our current debt maturities and planned capital expenditure requirements with future anticipated operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our senior credit facility.

 

In addition, we expect to make capital investments as described below during the full year 2015. See “Executive Overview” for further information regarding the scope and timing of our significant development projects.

 

·

$430 million in capital expenditures at our wholly owned domestic resorts and corporate entities, excluding MGM National Harbor and MGM Springfield;

 

·

$340 million in capital expenditures, including land costs, related to the MGM National Harbor project;

 

·

$60 million in capital expenditures, including land costs, related to MGM Springfield; and

 

·

$50 million investment in our Las Vegas Arena project.

 

During the full year 2015, MGM China expects to spend approximately $60 million in capital improvements at MGM Macau and $800 million on the MGM Cotai project, excluding capitalized interest and land.

 

Our capital expenditures fluctuate depending on our decisions with respect to strategic capital investments in new or existing resorts and the timing of capital investments to maintain the quality of our resorts, the amounts of which can vary depending on timing of larger remodel projects related to our public spaces and hotel rooms. Future capital expenditures could vary from our current expectations depending on the progress of our development efforts and the structure of our ownership interests in future developments.

Cotai land concession. MGM Grand Paradise’s land concession contract for an approximate 18 acre site on the Cotai Strip in Macau became effective on January 9, 2013 and has an initial term of 25 years. The total land premium payable to the Macau government for the land concession contract is $161 million and is composed of a down payment and eight additional semi-annual installments. As of June 30, 2015, MGM China had paid $115 million of the contract premium, including interest due on the semi-annual installments. In July 2015, MGM China paid the fifth semi-annual installment of $15 million under the land concession contract. Including interest on the three remaining semi-annual installments, MGM China has approximately $44 million remaining payable for the land concession contract.

 

MGM China dividend. On August 4, 2015, MGM China’s board of directors announced an interim dividend of $77 million, which will be paid to shareholders of record as of August 24, 2015 and distributed on or about August 31, 2015. We will receive $39 million, representing our 51% share of the dividend.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

A complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since year end, except as discussed below.

 

We review goodwill at least annually and between annual test dates in certain circumstances. We perform our annual impairment test for goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations.  Goodwill for relevant reporting units is tested for impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis based on our budgeted future results discounted using a weighted average cost of capital, developed using a standard capital asset pricing model based on guideline companies in our industry, and market indicators of terminal year capitalization rates, as well as a market approach that utilizes business enterprise value multiples based on a range of multiples in our peer group.

 

Due to a significant decrease in MGM China’s cash flows as well as a decline in the market capitalization of MGM China relative to its net book value, we performed an interim impairment test of goodwill related to the MGM China reporting unit in the second quarter of 2015. As of the date we completed our 2015 interim goodwill impairment analysis, the estimated fair value of our MGM China reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 9%. Therefore, we concluded that goodwill related to the MGM China reporting unit was not impaired based on the interim test. There are several estimates inherent in evaluating these assets for impairment. In particular, future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. In addition, the determination of multiples, capitalization rates and the discount rates used in the impairment tests are highly judgmental and dependent in large part on expectations of future market conditions. Management makes significant judgments and estimates as part of these analyses. If future operating results of MGM China do not meet current expectations it could cause its carrying value to exceed its fair value in future periods, potentially resulting in a goodwill impairment charge.

 

Market Risk

 

In addition to the inherent risks associated with our normal operations, we are also exposed to additional market risks. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed-rate borrowings and short-term borrowings under our bank credit facilities. A change in interest rates generally does not have an impact upon our future earnings and cash flow for fixed-rate debt instruments. As fixed-rate debt matures, however, and if additional debt is acquired to fund the debt repayment, future earnings and cash flow may be affected by changes in interest rates. This effect would be realized in the periods subsequent to the periods when the debt matures. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions.

As of June 30, 2015, variable rate borrowings represented 30% of our total borrowings. Assuming a 100 basis-point increase in LIBOR (in the case of the term loan B facility, over the 1% floor specified in our senior credit facility), our annual interest cost would increase by $27 million based on gross amounts outstanding at June 30, 2015. Assuming a 100 basis-point increase in HIBOR for the MGM Grand Paradise credit facility, our annual interest cost would increase by $12 million based on amounts outstanding at June 30, 2015. The following table provides additional information about our gross long-term debt subject to changes in interest rates:

In addition to the risk associated with our variable interest rate debt, we are also exposed to risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, mainly related to MGM China and to our operations at MGM Macau and the development of MGM Cotai. While recent fluctuations in exchange rates have not been significant, potential changes in policy by governments or fluctuations in the economies of the United States, Macau or Hong Kong could cause variability in these exchange rates. As of June 30, 2015, a 1% increase in the Hong Kong dollar (the functional currency of MGM China) to the U.S. dollar exchange rate would impact the carrying value of our cash balance by $5 million and a 1% decrease in the exchange rate would impact the carrying value of our debt balance by $12 million.

 

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “will,” “may” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding expected market growth in Macau, our ability to generate significant cash flow and execute on future projects, such as the Profit Growth Plan, the expected results of the Profit Growth Plan, amounts we will spend in capital expenditures and investments, the opening of strategic resort developments, the estimated costs and components associated with those developments, dividends we will receive from MGM China or CityCenter and amounts projected to be realized as deferred tax assets. The foregoing is not a complete list of all forward-looking statements we make.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions and the following:

 

·

our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments could adversely affect our development options and financial results and impact our ability to satisfy our obligations;

 

·

current and future economic and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to service or refinance our indebtedness and to make planned expenditures and investments;

 

·

restrictions and limitations in the agreements governing our senior credit facility and other senior indebtedness could significantly affect our ability to operate our business, as well as significantly affect our liquidity;

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

Shareholder litigation.  Adolf  Stumpf and RoseMarie Stumpf as trustees for the Christine Stumpf Trust v. MGM Resorts International, et al. (Case No. 10262, filed October 21, 2014, Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware), and Pontiac General Employees Retirement System v. Robert H. Baldwin, et al. (Case No. 10290, filed October 28, 2014, Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware).  These two actions were consolidated under the caption In re MGM Resorts International Litigation (Case No. 10290) and the lead plaintiffs designated the complaint in the Pontiac General action as the operative complaint and agreed to a voluntary dismissal of three directors named in the Stumpf complaint but not the Pontiac General complaint – Mary Chris Gay, William W. Grounds and Gregory M. Spierkel. The complaint named members of the Company’s Board of Directors and Bank of America as defendants.  Plaintiffs alleged that they were Company stockholders and that they were acting on behalf of a class including all other Company stockholders.  In the alternative, plaintiffs alleged their claims derivatively on behalf of the Company. Plaintiffs alleged that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by unjustifiably approving the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 20, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement” or “Agreement”), which contained what plaintiffs called a “Dead Hand Proxy Put” change of control provision. Plaintiffs asserted that this provision permitted Bank of America, as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, to declare a default, and accelerate payment of all outstanding debt and interest thereunder, in the event of a change of control (i.e., replacement of a majority of the directors by an actual or threatened proxy fight or consent solicitation) under circumstances specified in the Agreement. Plaintiffs claimed that this provision had a coercive effect on stockholder voting for change on the board of directors, and entrenched the Company’s incumbent directors. The complaint further alleged that Bank of America aided and abetted the defendant directors in their alleged breach of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought a declaration that demand on the Board of Directors to invalidate the challenged change of control provision would have been futile, that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties, that Bank of America aided and abetted this breach, and that the challenged change of control provision is invalid, unenforceable, and severable; a permanent injunction against enforcement of the challenged provision by Bank of America; and attorneys’ fees and other costs.

 

On April 28, 2015, the Company informed the Court that it had reached agreement with Bank of America to remove the provision challenged by plaintiffs from the Credit Agreement, and that plaintiffs’ lawsuit would be mooted once the amendment was approved by a majority of the Company’s lenders under the Credit Agreement. On April 29, 2015, defendants answered the complaint, denying all allegations of wrongdoing. On May 4, 2015, the Company received approval from a majority of its lenders and executed the amendment to the Credit Agreement. The parties have agreed that the action is moot and the Company has agreed to pay plaintiff’s counsel $500,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs. The amount of this fee was determined by the parties and was not passed upon by the Court. On May 28, 2015, the Court entered an order providing for the dismissal of the action following the publication of notice to the Company’s stockholders, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10-Q. Any inquiries regarding the dismissal of this action may be directed to Joel Friedlander, plaintiffs’ counsel at Friedlander & Gorris, P.A. (302) 573-3500, Mark Lebovitch, plaintiffs’ counsel at Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP (212) 554-1400, Peter J. Walsh, the Company’s counsel at Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP (302) 984-6000, or Stephen A. Radin, the Company’s counsel at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP (212) 310-8000.

 

In 2009 various shareholders filed six lawsuits in Nevada federal and state court against the Company and various of its former and current directors and officers alleging federal securities laws violations and/or related breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with statements allegedly made by the defendants during the period August 2007 through the date of such lawsuit filings in 2009 (the “class period”). In general, the lawsuits assert the same or similar allegations, including that during the relevant period defendants artificially inflated the Company’s common stock price by knowingly making materially false and misleading statements and omissions to the investing public about the Company’s financial statements and condition, operations, CityCenter, and the intrinsic value of the Company’s common stock; that these alleged misstatements and omissions thereby enabled certain Company insiders to derive personal profit from the sale of Company common stock to the public; that defendants caused plaintiffs and other shareholders to purchase Company common stock at artificially inflated prices; and that defendants imprudently implemented a share repurchase program to the detriment of the Company. The lawsuits seek unspecified compensatory damages, restitution and disgorgement of alleged profits and/or attorneys’ fees and costs in amounts to be proven at trial, as well as injunctive relief related to corporate governance. The state and federal court derivative actions were dismissed pursuant to defendants’ motions. Only two of these lawsuits remain pending.  

 

The lawsuits are:

 

In re MGM MIRAGE Securities Litigation, Case No. 2:09-cv-01558-GMN-LRL.  In November 2009, the U.S. District Court for Nevada consolidated the Robert Lowinger v. MGM MIRAGE, et al. (Case No. 2:09-cv-01558-RCL-LRL, filed August 19, 2009) and Khachatur Hovhannisyan v. MGM MIRAGE, et al. (Case No. 2:09-cv-02011-LRH-RJJ, filed October 19, 2009) putative class actions under the caption "In re MGM MIRAGE Securities Litigation." The cases name the Company and certain former and current directors and officers as defendants and allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  After transfer of the cases in 2010 to the Honorable Gloria M. Navarro, the

41


 

court appointed several employee retirement benefits funds as co-lead plaintiffs and their counsel as co-lead and co-liaison counsel.  In January 2011, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, alleging that between August 2, 2007 and March 5, 2009, the Company, its directors and certain of its officers violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.  

 

In September 2013, the court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ amended complaint. Defendants answered the amended complaint, the court entered a scheduling order and discovery is proceeding. Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in November 2014.  Defendants filed their opposition to class certification in February 2015. The court heard oral argument on the class certification motion on April 21, 2015 and took the matter under advisement. No trial date has been set in this case.  

 

In July 2015 the lead plaintiffs and defendants agreed in principle to settle the securities cases. Under the proposed settlement, the claims against the Company and the named former and current directors and officers will be dismissed with prejudice and released in exchange for a $75 million cash payment by the Company’s directors and officers liability insurers. The proposed settlement remains subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including negotiation and execution of a final stipulation of settlement, notice to the proposed class, and court approval. If these conditions are satisfied, the proposed settlement will resolve all claims in these cases against the Company and the individual defendants. In the event that we are unable to execute a final settlement and obtain court approval, we and all other defendants will continue to vigorously defend against the claims asserted in these securities cases.

 

Other. We and our subsidiaries are also defendants in various other lawsuits, most of which relate to routine matters incidental to our business. We do not believe that the outcome of such pending litigation, considered in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

 

A description of certain factors that may affect our future results and risk factors is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to those factors for the six months ended June 30, 2015, except as discussed below.

 

Tracinda owns a significant amount of our common stock and may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval.  As of June 30, 2015, Tracinda Corporation beneficially owned approximately 16% of our outstanding common stock and as a result, Tracinda may be able to exercise significant influence over any matter requiring stockholder approval, including the approval of significant corporate transactions.  Upon Mr. Kerkorian’s passing, Tracinda’s position in our common stock became subject to the terms of Mr. Kerkorian’s last will and testament, which provides for an orderly disposition of Tracinda’s position in our common stock. As a result, we expect that Tracinda’s ownership of our common stock will decline in the future.
