Insights

Las Vegas Sands delivered mixed Q3 2024 results with $2.68 billion in revenue and $353 million in net income, showing year-over-year declines. Key highlights include lower-than-expected hold in Singapore and ongoing development disruption at the Londoner Macao. The company's strategic capital return initiatives are noteworthy, with $450 million in share buybacks and a 25% dividend increase to $1.00 per share annually for 2025.

The balance sheet remains robust with $4.21 billion in unrestricted cash and $4.47 billion in available credit facilities. The new SCL Credit Facility provides additional financial flexibility. While Macao's recovery continues, visitation remains below pre-pandemic levels. Marina Bay Sands faced headwinds from low hold but maintains strong underlying performance.

The increased capital return program signals management's confidence in future cash flows despite near-term operational challenges. The $2.0 billion new share repurchase authorization and dividend hike demonstrate a strong commitment to shareholder returns. The strategic increase in SCL ownership to 71.31% strengthens the company's position in Macao.

The lower effective tax rate of 12.4% versus 21.4% last year positively impacts profitability. Capital expenditures of $539 million reflect ongoing investment in growth initiatives across both markets, positioning the company for long-term expansion as Asian tourism recovers.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS), the leading global developer and operator of Integrated Resorts, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Although our reported financial results for the quarter reflected lower than expected hold in Singapore and the impact of disruption from our ongoing development work at the Londoner in Macao, we continued to execute our strategic objectives during the quarter.  We remain enthusiastic about our opportunities to deliver industry-leading growth in both markets in the years ahead as we execute our capital investment programs in both Macao and Singapore," said Robert G. Goldstein, chairman and chief executive officer.

"In Macao, the ongoing recovery continued during the quarter, although visitation to the market remains below the levels reached prior to the pandemic.  Our decades-long commitment to making investments that enhance the business and leisure tourism appeal of Macao and support its development as a world center of business and leisure tourism positions us well as the recovery in travel and tourism spending progresses.

"In Singapore, although Marina Bay Sands was negatively impacted by low hold this quarter, the property continued to deliver outstanding financial and operating performance.  Our new suite product and elevated service offerings position us for growth as travel and tourism spending in Asia expands.

"Our financial strength and industry-leading cash flow continue to support our ongoing investment and capital expenditure programs in both Macao and Singapore, our pursuit of growth opportunities in new markets and our program to return excess capital to stockholders. 

"We repurchased $450 million LVS shares under our share repurchase program during the quarter.  The LVS Board of Directors has authorized $2.0 billion of share repurchases in the future and raised our annual dividend to $1.00 per share for the 2025 calendar year.  We look forward to utilizing our share repurchase and dividend programs to continue to return excess capital to stockholders."

Net revenue was $2.68 billion, compared to $2.80 billion in the prior year quarter.  Operating income was $504 million, compared to $688 million in the prior year quarter.  Net income in the third quarter of 2024 was $353 million, compared to $449 million in the third quarter of 2023. 

Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA was $991 million, compared to $1.12 billion in the prior year quarter.

Sands China Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results
On a GAAP basis, total net revenues for SCL decreased 1.0% to $1.77 billion, compared to the third quarter of 2023.  Net income for SCL was $268 million, compared to $231 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $179 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $200 million in the prior year quarter.  Our weighted average borrowing cost was 5.1% during the third quarter of 2024, compared to 5.4% during the third quarter of 2023.

Our effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 12.4%, compared to 21.4% in the prior year quarter.  The income tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a 17% statutory rate on our Singapore operations.

Stockholder Returns
During the third quarter of 2024, we repurchased $450 million of our common stock (approximately 11 million shares at a weighted average price of $39.36). The remaining amount authorized under our share repurchase program was $195 million as of September 30, 2024.  Subsequently, on October 22, 2024, the company's Board of Directors authorized increasing the remaining share repurchase amount of $195 million to $2.0 billion and extending the expiration date of this authorization to November 3, 2026.  The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the company's financial position, earnings, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions. 

We also entered into an agreement to purchase SCL common stock that was completed in October 2024.  As a result of the transaction, the company will receive 23.4 million shares of SCL common stock, increasing its ownership percentage to 71.31%.

We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share during the quarter.  We announced our next quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share will be paid on November 13, 2024, to Las Vegas Sands stockholders of record on November 5, 2024.

Balance Sheet Items
Unrestricted cash balances as of September 30, 2024 were $4.21 billion.

The company has access to $4.47 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., SCL and Singapore revolving credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit.  As of September 30, 2024, total debt outstanding, excluding finance leases and financed purchases, was $13.88 billion.

On October 23, 2024, SCL entered into a new facility agreement, the 2024 SCL Credit Facility, which provides for a 19.50 billion Hong Kong dollars ("HKD," approximately $2.51 billion at exchange rates in effect on October 23, 2024) unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2024 SCL Revolving Facility") and makes available an HKD 12.95 billion (approximately $1.67 billion at exchange rates in effect on October 23, 2024) unsecured term loan facility (the "2024 SCL Term Loan Facility").  SCL may draw under the 2024 SCL Revolving Facility for general corporate and working capital requirements and under the 2024 SCL Term Loan Facility for the purpose of repaying amounts outstanding under SCL's unsecured 5.125% Senior Notes due August 2025.  In connection with entering into the 2024 SCL Credit Facility, the commitments under SCL's existing amended and restated credit facility agreement, the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, were terminated.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures during the third quarter totaled $539 million, including construction, development and maintenance activities of $313 million in Macao and $215 million at Marina Bay Sands.

Third Quarter 2024 Results
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Within the company's third quarter 2024 press release, the company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the company's consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP including "adjusted net income (loss)," "adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share" and "consolidated adjusted property EBITDA," which have directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  The company believes these measures represent important internal measures of financial performance.  Set forth in the financial schedules accompanying this press release and presentations included on the company's website are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  The non-GAAP financial measure disclosure by the company has limitations and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and the specific reasons why the company's management believes the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are presented below.

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

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

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

____________________

Note:

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2023, we are no longer reporting quarterly "consolidated hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA," "hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA" for Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands, and "hold-normalized adjusted net income (loss) attributable to LVS" or "hold-normalized adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share."  We are making this change in response to comments from the SEC staff in connection with their ordinary course review.  We will continue to report the hold-adjusted impact on quarterly revenue and adjusted property EBITDA for our Macao operations and Marina Bay Sands.


These amounts represent the estimated impact of the hold adjustment that would have occurred had the company's current period Rolling Chip win percentage equaled 3.30%.  Included are the estimated commissions paid, discounts and other incentives rebated directly or indirectly to customers, gaming taxes and bad debt expense that would have been incurred or avoided.
