Additionally, the lease will require the Company to spend a specified percentage of net revenues over a rolling five-year period at the property on capital expenditures and for the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, which, if not met, would require the Company to maintain cash security or a letter of credit in favor of the landlord in an amount equal to rent for the succeeding one-year period. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

On May 2, 2022, the Company commenced a public offer to the shareholders of LeoVegas AB (publ) (“LeoVegas”) to tender 100% of the shares of LeoVegas at a price of SEK 61 in cash per share, equivalent to a total tender offer value of approximately SEK 6.0 billion (approximately $607 million, based on exchange rates at April 29, 2022). The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022, subject to certain regulatory approvals, the receipt of valid tenders of more than 90% of LeoVegas' shares, and customary closing conditions.

MGM China

The Company has an approximate 56% controlling interest in MGM China Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “MGM China”), which owns MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”). MGM Grand Paradise owns and operates ~~the~~ MGM Macau and MGM Cotai, 2 integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resorts in Macau, as well as the related gaming subconcession and land ~~concessions~~.concessions.

Gaming in Macau is currently administered by the Macau Government through concessions awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which a subsidiary of MGM China, MGM Grand Paradise, is a subconcessionaire. In 2019, the expiration of MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession term was extended from March 31, 2020 to June 26, 2022, consistent with the expiration of the other concessionaires and subconcessionaires. Pursuant to the current Macau gaming law, upon reaching the maximum duration of ~~twenty~~20 years, the term of the concessions may be extended one or more times by order of the Chief Executive, which period may not exceed, in total, ~~five~~5 years. ~~In 2019, the expiration of MGM China’s subconcession term was extended from March 31, 2020 to June 26,~~On January 14, 2022, ~~consistent with the expiration of the other concessionaires and subconcessionaires. On September 14, 2021,~~ the Macau ~~government released~~Government disclosed the content of a ~~consultation paper on the revision of the~~bill to amend Macau gaming law, ~~and commenced~~which followed a 45-day public consultation process ~~soliciting feedback. Unless~~regarding draft amendment proposals that were issued in September 2021. Under the bill the existing subconcessions will be discontinued and a maximum of six concessions will be awarded for a term to be specified in the concession contract that may not exceed 10 years and which may be extended by three years under certain circumstances. The bill is subject to debate and approval by the Macau Legislative Assembly. The approval of the new gaming law bill will precede the public tender for the awarding of new gaming concessions. On March 3, 2022, the Macau Government

announced its intention to extend the term of Macau’s six concession and subconcession contracts from June 26, 2022 until December 31, 2022, and invited the concessionaires and subconcessionaires to submit a formal request for an extension. On March 11, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise submitted its request for an extension, along with a commitment to pay the Macau government up to MOP47 million (approximately US$6 million) and provide a bank guarantee to secure the fulfillment of MGM Grand Paradise's payment obligations towards its employees should MGM Grand Paradise be unsuccessful in tendering for a new concession contract after its subconcession expires. The extension of MGM Grand Paradise's subconcession is ~~extended or replaced~~subject to approval by the Macau government as well as entering into a new subconcession extension contract with ~~a similar governmental license,~~SJM Resorts, S.A. Unless MGM Grand Paradise's gaming subconcession is further extended or legislation with regard to reversion of casino premises is amended the casino area premises and gaming-related equipment subject to reversion will automatically be transferred to the Macau Government upon expiration, and MGM China will cease to generate any revenues from such gaming operations.

Reportable Segments

The Company has 3 reportable segments: Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and MGM China. See Note 1211 for additional information about the Company’s segments.

Financial Impact of COVID-19. The spread of the novel ~~2019~~ coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and developments surrounding the global pandemic have had a significant impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows ~~in 2020 and 2021 and may potentially thereafter.

Although all of the Company’s properties have re-opened, in light of the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, including the emergence and spread of COVID-19 variants, the properties may be subject to new operating restrictions and/or temporary, complete, or partial shutdowns in the future. At this time, the Company cannot predict whether jurisdictions, states or the federal government will adopt similar or more restrictive measures in the future than in the past, including stay-at-home orders or the temporary closure of all or a portion of the Company’s ~~properties.~~properties as a result of the pandemic.

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 (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

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.

Principles of consolidation. The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary. For these VIEs, the Company records a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

~~Management has~~As of March 31, 2022, management determined that MGP is a VIE because the Class A equity investors as a group lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance. The Company ~~has~~ determined that it is the primary beneficiary of MGP and consolidates MGP because (i) its ownership of MGP’s single Class B share entitles it to a majority of the total voting power of MGP’s shares, and (ii) the exchangeable nature of the Operating Partnership units owned provide the Company the right to receive benefits from MGP that could potentially be significant to MGP. The Company ~~has~~ recorded MGP’s ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, on a consolidated basis MGP had total assets of ~~$10.1~~$10.4 billion, primarily related to its real estate investments, and total liabilities of $5.0 billion, primarily related to its indebtedness. Refer to Note 1 for discussion regarding the deconsolidation of MGP upon closing of the VICI Transaction in April 2022.

Management has determined that Bellagio BREIT Venture is a VIE because the equity holders as a group lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Bellagio BREIT Venture and, accordingly, does not consolidate the venture, because the Company does not have power to direct the activities that could potentially be significant to the venture; BREIT, as the managing member, has such power. The Company has recorded its 5% ownership interest in Bellagio BREIT Venture as an investment in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, for which such amount was $58 million as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Bellagio BREIT Venture is equal to the carrying value of its investment, assuming no future capital funding requirements, plus the exposure to loss resulting from the Company’s guarantee of the debt of Bellagio BREIT Venture, which guarantee is immaterial as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as further discussed in Note 9.8.

For entities determined not to be a VIE, the Company consolidates such entities in which the Company owns 100% of the equity. For entities in which the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company consolidates the entity under the voting interest model if it has a controlling financial interest based upon the terms of the respective entities’ ownership agreements, such as MGM China. For these entities, the Company records a noncontrolling interest in

the consolidated balance sheets and all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. If the entity does not qualify for consolidation under the voting interest model and the Company has significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method, such as ~~the Company’s investments in~~ MGP BREIT Venture and BetMGM, which do not qualify for consolidation as the Company has joint control, given the entities are structured with substantive participating rights whereby both owners participate in the decision making process, which prevents the Company from exerting a controlling financial interest in such entities, as defined in ASC 810.

For equity interests in entities in which the Company does not have significant influence, the Company records its equity investment under ASC 321 and reflects such investments within “Other long-term assets, net” on the consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a loss of $48 million and a gain of $39 million, respectively, within “Other, net” on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations related primarily to the change in fair value of an equity instrument that previously qualified for the measurement alternative under

~~ASC 321, which was discontinued upon the equity interest having a readily determinable fair value as a result of becoming exchange traded.~~ The fair value of such equity investment was ~~$76~~$81 million as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~

~~Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period presentation.~~March 31, 2022.

Fair value measurements. Fair value measurements affect the Company’s accounting and impairment assessments of its long-lived assets, investments in unconsolidated affiliates or in equity interests, 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 used the following inputs in its fair value measurements:

•Level 1 inputs when measuring its equity investments under ASC 321;

•Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for its long-term debt fair value disclosures. See Note 6;

•~~Level 2 inputs when measuring the Operating Partnership’s fair value of its interest rate swaps. See Note 6;~~5; and

•Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs when assessing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the CityCenter acquisition. See Note 3.

Restricted cash. Restricted cash reflects cash held in an escrow account related to the reverse termination fee that was contractually required to be prefunded for The Cosmopolitan acquisition and is reflected as "Restricted Cash" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. "Restricted Cash" and "Cash and cash equivalents" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets equal "Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash" on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Revenue recognition. The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers consists of casino wagers transactions, hotel room sales, food and beverage transactions, entertainment shows, and retail transactions.

For casino wager transactions that include incentives earned by customers under the Company’s loyalty programs, the Company allocates a portion of net win based upon the standalone selling price of such incentive (less estimated breakage). This allocation is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the incentive. When redeemed, revenue is recognized in the department that provides the goods or service. Redemption of loyalty incentives at third party outlets are deducted from the loyalty liability and amounts owed are paid to the third party, with any discount received recorded as other revenue. After allocating revenue to other goods and services provided as part of casino wager transactions, the Company records the residual amount to casino revenue.

Contract and Contract-Related Liabilities. There may be a difference between the timing of cash receipts from the customer and the recognition of revenue, resulting in a contract or contract-related liability. The Company generally has three types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, which represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer, (2) loyalty program obligations, which represents the deferred allocation of revenue relating to loyalty program incentives earned, as discussed above, and (3) customer advances and other, which is primarily funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs (“casino front money”) and advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided such as advance ticket sales and deposits on rooms and convention space or for unpaid wagers. These liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned, or deposited and are recorded within “Other accrued liabilities” on the ~~Company’s~~ consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the activity related to contract and contract-related liabilities:


		Outstanding Chip Liability				Loyalty Program				Customer Advances and Other					Outstanding Chip Liability				Loyalty Program				Customer Advances and Other

Revenue by source. The Company presents the revenue earned disaggregated by the type or nature of the good or service (casino, room, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other) and by relevant geographic region within Note ~~12.~~11.

Leases. Refer to Note 87 for discussion of leases under which the Company is a lessee. The master lease agreement with MGP is eliminated in consolidation; refer to Note 12 for further discussion of the master lease with MGP. The Company is a lessor under certain other lease arrangements. Lease revenues earned by the Company from third parties are classified within the

line item corresponding to the type or nature of the tenant’s good or service. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, lease revenues from third-party tenants include ~~$13~~$14 million and ~~$29~~$4 million recorded within food and beverage revenue, respectively, and ~~$22~~$26 million and $58 million recorded within entertainment, retail, and other revenue for the same such periods, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, lease revenues from third-party tenants include $7 million and $21 million recorded within food and beverage revenue, respectively, and $14 million and $47$16 million recorded within entertainment, retail, and other revenue for the same such periods, respectively. Lease revenues from the rental of hotel rooms are recorded as rooms revenues within the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITION

On September 27, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Infinity World's 50% ownership interest in CityCenter for cash consideration of $2.125 billion.

Through the acquisition, the Company obtained 100% of the equity interests in CityCenter and therefore consolidated CityCenter as of September 27, 2021. Prior to the acquisition, the Company held a 50% ownership interest, which was accounted for under the equity method. The fair value of the equity interests of CityCenter was determined by the transaction price and equaled $4.25 billion. The carrying value of the Company's equity method investment was less than its share of the fair value of CityCenter at the acquisition date, resulting in a net gain of $1.6 billion upon consolidation, which is recognized as "Gain on consolidation of CityCenter, net" on the consolidated statements of operations.

On September 28, 2021, the Company sold the real estate assets of Aria ~~and Vdara~~(including Vdara) for cash consideration of $3.89 billion and entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company leases back the real property. The Company classified the real estate assets as held for sale as of the acquisition date and accordingly measured the real estate assets at fair value less costs to sell, as reflected in the table below. See Note 87 for additional information regarding the lease.

The Company recognized 100% of the assets and liabilities of CityCenter at fair value at the date of the acquisition. Under the acquisition method, the fair value was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The Company estimated fair value using level 1 inputs, level 2 inputs, and level 3 inputs. ~~As the transaction closed on September 27, 2021,~~ ~~the allocation of fair value for substantially all of the assets and liabilities is preliminary as of September 30, 2021, and may be adjusted up to one year after the acquisition.~~

The following table sets forth the ~~preliminary~~ purchase price allocation (in thousands):


Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	335,396
Receivables and other current assets	106,417
Property and equipment - real estate assets held for sale	3,888,431
Property and equipment	~~320,826~~323,093
Trademarks	180,000
Goodwill	~~1,399,484~~1,397,338

Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities	~~(200,974)~~(201,093)
Debt	(1,729,451)
Other long-term liabilities	(64,054)
	$	4,250,000

The Company recognized the identifiable intangible assets of CityCenter at fair value, which consisted of indefinite-lived trade names, which was determined using methodologies under the relief from royalty method based on significant inputs that were not observable. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the profitability of CityCenter in excess of identifiable ~~assets. Based upon preliminary tax determinations as~~assets, of ~~September 30, 2021,~~which approximately 50% of the goodwill is ~~expected to be~~ deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Las Vegas Strip Resorts segment.

~~Results.~~ ~~CityCenter’s net revenue for the period from September 27, 2021 through September 30, 2021 was $14 million and operating income and net income were each $3 million.~~

Unaudited pro forma information. The operating results for CityCenter are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Company has been prepared assuming the Company’s acquisition of its controlling interest had occurred as of January 1, 2020 and excludes the gain on consolidation ~~discussed above.~~recognized by the Company. The pro forma information does not reflect transactions that occurred subsequent to acquisition, such as the subsequent sale-leaseback transaction or the repayment of CityCenter's assumed debt. The unaudited pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 2020.

~~Goodwill was recognized in 2021 related to the acquisition of the 50% ownership interest in CityCenter, which is included in Las Vegas Strip Resorts, as further discussed in Note 3.~~

~~MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession.~~ Pursuant to the agreement dated April 19, 2005 between MGM Grand Paradise and SJM Resorts S.A. (“SJMSA”, formerly Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A.), a gaming subconcession was acquired by MGM Grand Paradise for the right to operate casino games of chance and other casino games for a period commencing on April 20, 2005 through March 31, 2020. In March 2019, MGM Grand Paradise and SJMSA entered into a Subconcession Extension Contract (the “Extension Agreement”), pursuant to which the gaming subconcession was extended to June 26, 2022, which coincides with the current expiration of all the other concessions and subconcessions. MGM Grand Paradise paid the government of Macau approximately $25 million and paid SJMSA approximately $2 million as a contract premium for such extension. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the gaming subconcession will be extended beyond the current term; however, management believes that the gaming subconcession will be extended or replaced with a similar governmental license. As such, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company amortizes the gaming subconcession intangible asset on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the Cotai land concession, ending in January 2038.

NOTE 76 — INCOME TAXES

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 a ~~provision~~benefit of ~~17.4%~~51.1% and ~~16.9% on income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to benefits of 11.3% and 8.9%~~22.0% on loss before income taxes for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets, net of applicable reserves, related to net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and certain temporary differences. The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied.

~~The Company increased its valuation allowance for its foreign tax credits (“FTCs”) by $10 million and $5 million in~~During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, with a corresponding increase to provision for income taxes. The Company's FTCs are attributable to the Macau Special Gaming Tax, which is 35% of gross gaming revenue in Macau. Significant judgment is required in assessing the need for a valuation allowance and future changes to assumptions used in this assessment could result in material changes in the valuation allowance with a corresponding impact on the provision for income taxes in the period including such change.

The agreement with the Macau government allows MGM Grand Paradise to settle the 12% complementary tax that would otherwise be due by its shareholder, MGM China, on distributions of its gaming profits by paying a flat annual fee regardless of the amount of distributable dividends. The agreement requires payments of approximately $1 million for the period April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, $2 million for January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, and $1 million for the period January 1, 2022 through June 26, 2022.

As a resultdiscussion of the ~~fixed 2% escalator that went into effect on December 1, 2020 in connection with the commencement of the second lease year, annual cash rent payments increased to $250 million.~~ ~~The Company was in compliance with its applicable lease covenants as of~~ ~~September 30, 2021~~.VICI Transaction.

Additionally, MGM Grand Paradise has MGM Macau and MGM Cotai land concession contracts, each with an initial 25-year contract term ending in April 2031 and January 2038, respectively. The land leases are classified as operating leases.

~~Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas real~~Real estate assets. The Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas lease has an initial term of 30 years that began on February 14, 2020, with 2 subsequent ten-year renewal periods, exercisable at the Company’s option. The initial term of the lease provides for a fixed 2% escalator to rent for the first fifteen years and, thereafter, an escalator equal to the greater of 2% and the CPI increase during the prior year, subject to a cap of 3%. As a result of the fixed 2% escalator that went into effect on March 1, 2021 in connection with the commencement of the second lease year, annual cash rent payments increased to $298 million. ~~The~~ Company ~~was in compliance with its applicable lease covenants as of~~ ~~September 30, 2021.~~

~~Aria and Vdara real estate assets.~~ The Aria and Vdara lease has an initial term of 30 years with 3 subsequent ten-year renewal periods, exercisable at the Company's option. The initial term of the lease provides for an initial annual cash rent of $215 million with a fixed 2% escalator for the first fifteen years, and thereafter, an escalator equal to the greater of 2% and the CPI increase during the prior year, subject to a cap of 3%. The Company does not consider the renewal options reasonably certain of being exercised and, accordingly, has determined the lease term to be 30 years. In consideration of such, the Company determined the expected lease term of 30 years to be less than 75% of the economic useful life ofleases the real estate assets of Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand Las Vegas, and Aria ~~and Vdara. Further, the lessor provided its implicit rate~~(including Vdara) pursuant to ~~the Company, with~~triple-net lease agreements, which ~~the Company determined that the present value~~are classified as operating leases. Each of the future minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair value of the real estate assets. Accordingly, in consideration of these lease classification tests, as well as the fact that the lease does not transfer ownership of the assets back to the Company at the end of the lease term or grant the Company a purchase option and the real estate assets have alternative uses at the end of the lease term, the Company classified the Aria and Vdara lease as an operating lease.

~~Additionally, the lease requires~~leases obligates the Company to spend a specified percentage of net revenues ~~over a rolling five-year period~~ at the ~~property~~properties on capital expenditures and ~~for~~that the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, which, if not met, would require the Company to maintain cash security or ~~a letter~~provide one or more letters of credit in favor of the landlord in an amount equal to 1 year of rent ~~for~~under the ~~succeeding one-year period.~~Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas lease and Aria lease and 2 years of rent under the Bellagio lease.

NOTE 1312 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

MGP

As further described in Note 1, ~~pursuant~~prior to the ~~master lease with MGP,~~closing of the VICI Transaction, the Company ~~leases~~leased the real estate assets of The Mirage, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, The Park, Gold Strike Tunica, MGM Grand Detroit, Beau Rivage, Borgata, Empire City, MGM National Harbor, ~~and~~ MGM Northfield Park, ~~from~~and MGM Springfield pursuant to a master lease with MGP.

The annual cash rent payments under the MGP master lease for the ~~sixth~~seventh lease year, which commenced on April 1, ~~2021,~~2022, increased to ~~$843~~$877 million from ~~$828~~$873 million, ~~as a result of~~due to the ~~fifth 2.0% fixed~~sixth 2% annual base rent escalator that went into effect on April 1, ~~2021.~~

~~In March 2021,~~2022, as the ~~Company delivered a notice~~tenant and operating subsidiary sublessee, collectively, met the adjusted net revenue to rent ratio on which such escalator was contingent, which increased annual cash rent by $16 million, partially offset by the percentage rent reset that went into effect on April 1, 2022, calculated based on the percentage of ~~redemption covering approximately 37 million Operating Partnership units that it held~~average actual annual net revenue of the leased properties during the preceding five year period, which ~~was satisfied with aggregate~~decreased annual cash ~~proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion of such redemption.~~rent by $12 million.

In October 2021, MGP acquired the real estate assets of MGM Springfield from the Company ~~for $400 million of cash consideration.~~and MGM Springfield was added to the master lease between the Company and MGP. Following the closing of the transaction, the annual rent payment to MGP increased by $30 million, $27 million of which will be fixed and contractually grow at 2% per year with escalators subject to the tenant meeting an adjusted net revenue to rent ratio. Final regulatory approvals, which were not necessary for the transaction to close, are expected to be received within nine to twelve months following the close of the transaction. Until final regulatory approvals are obtained, the parties will be subject to a trust agreement, which provides for the property to go into a trust (or, at the Company’s option, be returned to the Company) during the interim period in the event that the regulator finds reasonable cause to believe that MGP may not be found suitable. The property will then remain in trust until a final determination regarding MGP’s suitability is made.

All intercompany transactions, including transactions under the MGP master lease, have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidation of MGP. The public ownership of MGP’s Class A shares is recognized as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As further described in Note 1, in ~~August 2021,~~April 2022, the Company ~~entered into an agreement~~completed a series of transactions with VICI and MGP whereby VICI ~~will acquire~~acquired MGP in a stock-for-stock transaction. ~~Pursuant to the agreement, MGP Class A shareholders will receive~~ ~~1.366~~ ~~shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for each Class A share of MGP and the Company will receive~~ ~~1.366~~ VICI OP units in exchange for each Operating Partnership unit that the Company holds. The fixed exchange ratio represents an agreed upon price of $43 per share of MGP Class A share to the five-day volume weighted average price of VICI stock as of the close of business on July 30, 2021. In connection with the exchange, VICI OP will redeem the majority of the Company’s VICI OP units for cash consideration of $4.4 billion, with the Company retaining an approximate $370 million ownership interest in VICI OP (based upon the close price of VICI stock as of August 3, 2021). MGP’s Class B share that is held by the Company will be cancelled. As part of the transaction, the Company ~~will enter~~entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals, and approval by VICI stockholders (which was obtained on October 29, 2021).

Description of our business and key performance indicators

Our primary business is the operation of casino resorts, which offer gaming, hotel, convention, dining, entertainment, retail and other resort amenities. We operate several of the finest casino resorts in the world and we continually reinvest 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 fund capital expenditures, provide excess cash flow for future development, repay debt financings, and return capital to our shareholders. 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.

Financial Impact of COVID-19

The spread of ~~coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”)~~COVID-19 and developments surrounding the global pandemic have had a significant impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows since the onset of the pandemic, which continued in ~~2020 and 2021~~the first quarter of 2022 and may ~~potentially~~continue during the remainder of 2022 and thereafter. In ~~March 2020, all~~the first quarter of ~~our domestic properties were temporarily closed pursuant to state and local government restrictions imposed as a result of COVID-19. Throughout the second and third quarters of 2020~~2022, all of our properties ~~that~~ were ~~temporarily closed re-opened to the public, but continued to operate without certain amenities~~open and not subject to ~~certain occupancy limitations, with restrictions varying by jurisdiction~~operating restrictions; however, travel and with further temporary re-closures and re-openings occurring for our properties or portions thereof into the first quarter of 2021. Upon re-opening of the properties, we implemented certain measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including limitations on the number of gaming tables allowed to operate and on the number of seats at each table game, as well as slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, limitations on restaurant capacity, entertainment events and conventions as well as other measures to enforce social distancing.

~~Beginning~~business volume were negatively affected in the ~~latter~~early part of the first quarter of 2021 and continuing into the second quarter of 2021, our domestic jurisdictions eased and removed prior operating restrictions, including capacity and occupancy limits as well as social distancing policies. However, certain operations and amenities are limited or constrained2022 due to ~~available staffing and/or mid-week visitation levels, and in July 2021, certain jurisdictions reinstated mask protection guidelines as a result~~the spread of the ~~emergence and spread of certain COVID-19 variants.~~omicron variant.

Although all of our properties have re-opened, in light of the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, including the emergence and spread of COVID-19 variants, the properties may be subject to new operating restrictions and/or temporary, complete, or partial shutdowns in the future. At this time, we cannot predict whether jurisdictions, states or the federal government will adopt similar or more restrictive measures in the future than in the past, including stay-at-home orders or the temporary closure of all or a portion of our ~~properties.~~properties as a result of the pandemic.

In Macau, ~~following a temporary closure of~~ our properties ~~on February 5, 2020, operations resumed on February 20, 2020,~~continue to operate subject to certain health safeguards, such as limiting the number of seats available at each table game, slot machine spacing, ~~reduced operating hours at a number of restaurants and bars,~~ temperature checks, mask protection, and ~~mask protection.~~health declarations submitted through the Macau Health Code system. Although the issuance of tourist visas (including the individual visit ~~scheme “IVS”)~~scheme) for residents of ~~Zhuhai, Guangdong Province and all other provinces in~~ mainland China to travel to Macau resumed ~~on August 12,~~in 2020, ~~August 26, 2020 and September 23, 2020, respectively,~~ several travel and entry restrictions in Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China remain in place (including the temporary suspension of ferry services ~~from~~between Hong Kong toand Macau, athe negative nucleic acid test result certificate, and mandatory quarantine requirements for returning residents, for visitors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and ~~Taiwan,~~certain regions in mainland China, and bans on entry ~~or enhanced quarantine~~

~~requirements~~ on other ~~visitors into Macau)~~visitors), which ~~have~~ significantly impacted visitation to our Macau properties. ~~In recent months,~~Macau is currently operating under a "dynamic zero" COVID-19 policy, as is Hong Kong and mainland China.

Upon such occurrences, a state~~several restrictions may be imposed, including the lock down of ~~immediate prevention was declared~~sections of cities or entire cities and travel restrictions, imposition of mass mandatory nucleic acid testing, ~~was imposed in Macau,~~shortening of the validity period of negative test results for re-entry into mainland China ~~was shortened~~from Macau and imposition of quarantine requirements, ~~were imposed,~~cancellation or suspension of certain events ~~were cancelled or suspended,~~ and, in some instances, closing of certain entertainment and leisure ~~facilities were closed throughout Macau.~~facilities. Although gaming and hotel operations have remained open during these states of immediate prevention, such measures have had a negative effect on ~~our~~MGM China's operations and it is uncertain whether further closures, including the closure of our properties, or travel restrictions to Macau will be implemented if additional local COVID-19 cases are identified.

Other Developments

In ~~March 2021, we delivered a notice of redemption to MGP covering approximately~~ ~~37 million~~ ~~Operating Partnership units that we held which was satisfied with aggregate cash proceeds of approximately~~ ~~$1.2 billion. See Note 11 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding this transaction, which eliminates in consolidation.~~

Upon the closing of the transaction, we own 100% of CityCenter and accordingly no longer account for our interest under the equity method of accounting, and we now consolidate CityCenter in our financial statements. See Note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding this transaction.

In September 2021, we sold the real estate assets of Aria and Vdara for cash consideration of $3.89 billion and entered into a lease pursuant to which we lease back the real property. See Note 8 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding this lease.

~~In August 2021, we entered into an agreement~~transactions with VICI Properties, Inc.

The fixed exchange ratio represents an agreed upon price of $43 per share of MGP Class A share to the five-day volume weighted average price of VICI stock as of the close of business on July 30, 2021.

The new master lease ~~will have~~has an initial term of 25 years, with three ~~ten-year~~10-year renewals, and initial annual rent of $860 million, escalating annually at a rate of ~~2.0%~~2% per annum for the first ~~ten~~10 years and thereafter equal to the greater of 2% and the CPI increase during the prior year subject to a cap of 3%.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — The VICI Transaction and The Cosmopolitan acquisition each remains subjectaddition to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and any anticipated benefits from such transactions may take longer to realize than expected or may not be realized at all.”

Additionally, the lease will require us to spend a specified percentage of net revenues over a rolling five-year period at the property on capital expenditures and for us to comply with certain financial covenants, which, if not met, would require us to maintain cash security or a letter of credit in favor of the landlord in an amount equal to rent for the succeeding one-year period. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

In October 2021, MGP acquired the real estate assets of MGM Springfield from us and MGM Springfield was added to the MGP master lease between us and MGP through which we lease back the real property. Refer to Note 13 for additional information.National Harbor.

Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:

•Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop and slots handle (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. ~~Historically, our~~Our normal table games hold percentage at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts is in the range of 25.0% to 35.0% of table games drop for Baccarat and 19.0% to 23.0% for non-Baccarat however, reduced gaming volumes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause volatility in our hold percentages; and

•Hotel revenue indicators (for Las Vegas Strip Resorts) – hotel occupancy (a volume indicator); average daily rate (“ADR,” a price indicator); and revenue per available room (“REVPAR,” a summary measure of hotel results, combining ADR and occupancy rate). Our calculation of ADR, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day, includes the impact of complimentary rooms. Complimentary room rates are determined based on standalone selling price. Because the mix of rooms provided on a complimentary basis, particularly to casino customers, includes a disproportionate suite component, the composite ADR including complimentary rooms is slightly higher than the ADR for cash rooms, reflecting the higher retail value of suites. Rooms that were out of service during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 ~~and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020~~ as a result of property closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic were excluded from the available room count when calculating hotel occupancy and REVPAR.

Additional key performance indicators at MGM China are:

•Gaming revenue indicators - MGM China utilizes “turnover,” which is the sum of nonnegotiable chip wagers won by MGM China calculated as nonnegotiable chips purchased plus nonnegotiable chips exchanged less nonnegotiable chips returned. Turnover provides a basis for measuring VIP casino win percentage. ~~Historically, win~~Win for VIP gaming operations at MGM China is typically in the range of 2.6% to 3.3% of turnover however, reduced gaming volumes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause volatility in MGM China’s hold percentages.

In September 2021, we completed the acquisition of the 50% ownership interest in CityCenter held by Infinity World and now own 100% of the equity interest in CityCenter. Accordingly, we no longer account for our interest in CityCenter under the equity method of accounting, and we now consolidate CityCenter in our financial statements.

In June 2021, CityCenter closed the sale of its Harmon land for $80 million on which it recorded a $30 million gain. We recorded a $50 million gain, which included $15 million of our 50% share of the gain recorded by CityCenter and $35 million representing the reversal of certain basis differences in the nine months ending September

30 ~~2021.~~

Our share of CityCenter’s operating income, including certain basis difference adjustments, was $41 million for the current quarter period through September 26, 2021 and CityCenter’s operating loss was $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due primarily to removal of mandated operational and capacity restrictions as well as an increase in travel in the current year quarter.

Our share of CityCenter’s operating income, including certain basis difference adjustments, was $128 million for the current year period through September 26, 2021 and CityCenter’s operating loss was $24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due primarily to the gain related to the sale of its Harmon land in the current year period, discussed above, and the temporary property closures in the prior year period and removal of mandated operational and capacity restrictions as well as an increase in travel primarily in the second and third quarter of the current year.

Non-operating Results

Interest Expense

Gross interest expense was ~~$200 million and $175~~$196 million for ~~the~~each of three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and 2020, respectively, and $599 million and $490 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in gross interest expense when compared to the respective prior year periods is due primarily to the increase in average debt outstanding related to senior notes due to the issuances by us, the Operating Partnership, and MGM China in

~~2020 and 2021, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate of the senior notes.~~2021. See Note 65 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for ~~additional~~ discussion on long-term debt and see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for ~~additional~~ discussion on issuances and repayments of long-term debt and other sources and uses of cash.

The current quarter included a $48 million loss on investment in an equity instrument.~~

Other income, net was $70 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to other expense, net of $102 million in the prior year period. The current year period included a $39 million gain on investment which is related primarily to the change in measurement of an equity instrument that previously qualified for the measurement alternative under ASC 321, which was discontinued upon the entity having a readily determinable fair value as a result of becoming exchange traded, partially offset by a loss related to subsequent adjustments to fair value, a $33 million gain on the Operating Partnership’s unhedged interest rate swaps, and $16 million of interest income, partially offset by $9 million of foreign currency remeasurement losses primarily related to MGM China’s U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes. The prior year period included a $109 million loss incurred on the early retirement of debt related to our senior notes and the termination of our revolving facility, as well as an $18 million loss incurred on the early retirement of debt related to the Operating Partnership’s repayment of its term loan A facility and its term loan B facility and a $3 million net loss on the Operating Partnership’s unhedged interest rate swaps, partially offset by an $8 million remeasurement gain on MGM China’s U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes, and $27 million of interest income. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of our long-term debt.respectively.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was a ~~provision of 17.4% and 16.9% on income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to a~~ benefit of ~~11.3%~~51.1% and ~~8.9%~~22.0% on loss before income taxes for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective rates for the current year quarter and year-to-date period were favorably impacted by tax expense recorded on the "Gain on consolidation of CityCenter, net", at an approximately 12% effective rate due to the presence of goodwill. Both the current year quarter and prior year quarter were unfavorably impacted by losses in Macau that we could not ~~benefit.~~benefit, although the current year quarter was more greatly impacted due to the expected mix of domestic income and Macau losses. The effective rate ~~for~~in the prior ~~year-to-date period~~year quarter was ~~unfavorably~~also favorably impacted by ~~losses~~a release of tax reserves in ~~Macau that we could not benefit and adjustments to valuation allowances~~conjunction with the closure of the most recent New Jersey state audit for ~~Macau deferred tax assets and foreign tax credits.~~Marina District Development Company.

Reportable segment GAAP measure

“Adjusted Property EBITDAR” is our reportable segment GAAP measure, which we utilize as the primary profit measure for our reportable segments and underlying operating segments. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is a measure defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, gain on REIT transactions, net, restructuring costs (which represents costs related to severance, accelerated stock compensation expense, and consulting fees directly related to the operating model component of the MGM 2020 Plan), rent expense associated with triple-net operating and ground leases, income from unconsolidated affiliates related to investments in real estate ventures, and property transactions, net, and also excludes ~~gain on consolidation of CityCenter, net, gain related to CityCenter's sale of Harmon land recorded within income from unconsolidated affiliates and~~ corporate expense ~~(which includes CEO transition expense and October 1 litigation settlement)~~ and stock compensation expense, which are not allocated to each operating segment, and rent expense related to the master lease with MGP that eliminates in consolidation. We manage capital allocation, tax planning, stock compensation, and financing decisions at the corporate level. “Adjusted Property EBITDAR margin” is Adjusted Property EBITDAR divided by related segment net revenues.

Non-GAAP measures

"Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR" is Adjusted Property EBITDAR further adjusted to exclude the Adjusted Property EBITDAR of acquired operating segments from the date of acquisition through the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, we have excluded the Adjusted Property EBITDAR of Aria for periods subsequent to its acquisition on September 27, 2021 in Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR for the periods indicated.

Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR is a non-GAAP measure and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes this measure is useful in providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations for operating segments that were consolidated for the full period presented to assist users of the financial statements in reviewing operating performance over time. Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance, considered in isolation, or as an alternative to our reportable segment GAAP measure or net income, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because this measure is not presented on a GAAP basis, and is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein. In addition, Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR may not be defined in the same manner by all companies and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financials measures of other companies, and such differences may be material. A reconciliation of our reportable segment Adjusted Property EBITDAR GAAP measure to Same-Store Adjusted Property EBITDAR is included herein.

“Adjusted EBITDAR” is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, ~~gain on REIT~~property transactions, net, gain on consolidation of CityCenter, net, CEO transition expense, October 1 litigation settlement, restructuring costs (which represents costs related to severance, accelerated stock compensation expense, and consulting fees directly related to the operating model component of the MGM 2020 Plan), gain related to CityCenter’s sale of Harmon land recorded within income from unconsolidated affiliates,

rent expense associated with triple-net operating and ground leases, and income from unconsolidated affiliates related to investments in real estate ~~ventures, and property transactions, net.~~ventures.

Adjusted EBITDAR information is a non-GAAP measure that is a valuation metric, should not be used as an operating metric, and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because we believe this

measure is widely used by analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors as a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies. We believe that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAR may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends. Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when we are developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within our 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. However, as discussed herein, Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance, an indicator of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to operating income or net income, or as an alternative to ~~net income,~~cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles because this measure is not presented on a GAAP basis and ~~exclude~~excludes certain expenses, including the rent expense associated with our triple-net operating and ground leases, and ~~are~~is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein.

In addition, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report Adjusted EBITDAR ~~should not~~may calculate Adjusted EBITDAR in a different manner and such differences may 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 GAAP.material. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes, real estate triple-net lease and ground lease payments, and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDAR. ~~Also, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report~~A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDAR ~~information may calculate Adjusted EBITDAR in a different manner and such differences may be material.~~is included herein.

Guarantor Financial Information

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, all of our principal debt arrangements are guaranteed by each of our wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our senior credit facility. Our principal debt arrangements are not guaranteed by MGP, the Operating Partnership, MGM Grand Detroit, MGM National Harbor, Blue Tarp reDevelopment, LLC (the entity that owns and operates MGM Springfield), and each of their respective subsidiaries.

In the event that any subsidiary is no longer a guarantor of our credit facility or any of our future capital markets indebtedness, that subsidiary will be released and relieved of its obligations to guarantee our existing senior notes. The indentures governing the senior notes further

provide that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of, or capital stock in a subsidiary guarantor then such subsidiary guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its subsidiary guarantee.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Operating activities. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but can be affected by changes in working capital, the timing of significant interest payments, tax payments or refunds, and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates. Cash provided by operating activities was ~~$887~~$420 million in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to cash used in operating activities of ~~$1.2 billion~~$88 million in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The change from the prior year period was due primarily to the increase in Adjusted Property EBITDAR at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts and Regional Operations discussed within the results of operations section above and ~~additionally due to the prior year period being negatively affected by a change in working capital related to gaming and non-gaming deposits, gaming~~refunds received from taxes, ~~and other gaming liabilities, and payroll related liabilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,~~ partially offset by an increase in triple-net lease rent payments and cash paid for interest.

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

~~$150~~ $125 million to our unconsolidated affiliate, BetMGM, LLC (“BetMGM”).

In March 2020, with certain of the proceeds from the MGP BREIT Venture transaction, we completed cash tender offers for an aggregate amount of $750 million of our senior notes, comprised of $325 million principal amount of our outstanding 5.75% senior notes due 2025, $100 million principal amount of our outstanding 4.625% senior notes due 2026, and $325 million principal amount of our outstanding 5.5% senior notes due 2027.

The remaining availability under the February 2020 $3.0 billion stock repurchase program was $248 million and the remaining availability under the March 2022 $2.0 billion stock repurchase program was $2.0 billion as of ~~September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased and retired $354 million of our common stock pursuant to our May 2018 $2.0 billion stock repurchase plan.~~March 31, 2022.

In March ~~2021, June 2021,~~2022 and ~~September~~ 2021 we paid dividends of $0.0025 per share, totaling $4$1 million paid during each of the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Anticipated Uses of Cash

As previously discussed, the spread of COVID-19 and developments surrounding the global pandemic have had a significant impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in the first quarter of 2022 and may continue to impact our business during the remainder of 2022 and thereafter. We require a certain amount of cash on hand to operate our resorts. In addition to required cash on hand for operations, we utilize corporate cash management procedures to minimize the amount of cash held on hand or in banks. Funds are swept from the accounts at most of our domestic resorts daily into central bank accounts, and excess funds are invested overnight or are used to repay amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility. In addition, from time to time we may use excess funds to repurchase our outstanding debt and equity securities subject to limitations in our revolving credit facility and Delaware law, as applicable. We have significant outstanding debt, interest payments, rent payments, and contractual obligations in addition to planned capital expenditures and commitments, including acquiring the operations of The Cosmopolitan ~~for cash consideration~~ of ~~$1.625 billion, as discussed further in Note 1.~~Las Vegas and the LeoVegas tender offer.

As ~~previously discussed, the spread~~ of ~~COVID-19 and developments surrounding the global pandemic have had a significant impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. As of September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$5.6~~$2.7 billion, of which MGM China held ~~$331~~$288 million and the Operating Partnership held ~~$320~~$8 million. In addition to our cash and cash equivalent balance, we ~~currently~~ have ~~significant real estate assets and other holdings: a 41.6% economic interest in MGP (refer to Note 1 for discussion on our agreement entered into in August 2021 regarding the VICI Transaction), and~~ an approximate 56% interest in MGM China. We completed the VICI Transaction pursuant to which the majority of our VICI OP units were redeemed for cash consideration of $4.4 billion in April 2022 (refer to Note 1 for further discussion on the VICI Transaction).

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had ~~$12.7~~$11.8 billion in principal amount of indebtedness, including ~~$265~~$391 million outstanding under the $1.25 billion MGM China first revolving credit facility. No amounts were drawn on our ~~$1.5~~$1.675 billion revolving credit facility, the $1.35 billion Operating Partnership revolving credit facility, or the $400 million MGM China second revolving credit facility. We have ~~$1.0~~$1.25 billion of debt maturing in the next twelve months, which we expect to repay with cash on hand.

44Due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in February 2022, MGM China further amended each of its first revolving credit facility and its second revolving credit facility to extend the financial covenant waivers through maturity in May 2024.

As of March 31, 2022, our expected cash interest payments over the next twelve months are approximately $255 million to $265 million, excluding MGP and MGM China, and approximately $450 million to $460 million on a consolidated basis, which includes MGM China and excludes MGP given the consummation of the VICI Transaction in April 2022.

~~Subsequent~~

We are also required, as of March 31, 2022, to make annual cash rent payments of $1.7 billion under triple-net lease agreements, which leases are also subject to annual escalators and also require us to pay substantially all costs associated with the lease, including real estate taxes, ground lease payments, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance, in addition to the ~~quarter ended September 30, 2021,~~annual cash rent. In addition, as part of the VICI Transaction in April 2022, we ~~repurchased approximately 2~~entered into a triple-net lease agreement pursuant to which we are required to pay initial annual cash rent of $860 million, ~~shares~~subject to annual escalators, and which replaces the master lease with MGP. Refer to Note 1 for discussion of ~~our common stock at an average price~~leases relating to pending transactions, Note 7 for discussion of ~~$44.51 per share~~current leases, and Note 12 for ~~an aggregate amount~~discussion of ~~$80 million.

We have planned capital expenditures expected over the remainder of the year of approximately ~~$180~~$700 million to ~~$190~~$710 million ~~domestically. Additionally, we have planned~~domestically, which is inclusive of the capital expenditures ~~over the remainder of the year of approximately $20 million to $30 million at MGM China.~~ As of September 30, 2021, our expected cash interest payments over the next twelve months are approximately $295 million to $305 million, excluding MGP and MGM China, and approximately $710 million to $720 million on a consolidated basis. We are also required ~~as of September 30, 2021, to make annual rent payments of $1.6 billion, in the aggregate,~~ under the triple-net lease agreements, each of which ~~leases are also subject to annual escalators. In addition, the Bellagio lease, the Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas lease, and the Aria and Vdara lease each require~~requires us to spend a specified percentage of net revenues at the respective domestic properties ~~on capital expenditures.~~and approximately $75 million to $90 million at MGM China, including approximately $30 million of show production costs related to the development of entertainment at the MGM Cotai theater. We additionally have planned contributions to BetMGM over the remainder of the year of approximately $100 million.

~~In February 2021, we amended our credit facility~~We also expect to ~~extend the covenant relief period provided under the previous amendment related~~continue to repurchase shares pursuant to our ~~financial maintenance covenants through the earlier of (x) the day immediately following the date we deliver to the administrative agent a compliance certificate with respect~~February 2020 $3.0 billion share repurchase program and our March 2022 $2.0 billion share repurchase program.

~~Additionally, due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in~~ February 2021, MGM China further amended each of its first revolving credit facility and its second revolving credit facility to provide for waivers of the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio through the fourth quarter of 2022.stock repurchase program was completed. Repurchased shares were retired.

In ~~October 2021,~~April 2022, the Operating Partnership paid ~~$139~~$142 million of distributions to its partnership unit holders, of which we received ~~$58~~$59 million and MGP received ~~$81~~$83 million, which MGP concurrently paid as a dividend to its Class A shareholders.

On ~~November 3, 2021~~May 2, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.0025 per share. The dividend will be payable on ~~December~~June 15, ~~2021~~2022 to holders of record on ~~December~~June 10, ~~2021.~~2022. Future determinations regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

As previously discussed, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is continuing to cause, significant economic disruption both globally and in the United States, and ~~continues to impact~~impacted our business, financial condition, ~~and~~ results of ~~operations.~~operations and cash flows since the onset of the pandemic, which continued in the first quarter of 2022 and may continue in 2022 and thereafter. As widespread vaccine distribution continues and operational restrictions have been removed, we have seen economic recovery in some of the market segments in which we operate, as shown in our ~~summary operating results.~~Summary Operating Results. However, some areas continue to experience renewed outbreaks and surges in infection rates. As a result, our business segments continue to face many uncertainties and our operations remain vulnerable to reversal of these trends or other continuing negative effects caused by the pandemic. We cannot predict the degree, or duration, to which our operations will be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects could be material. We continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to further adjust our operating plan, including the implementation or extension of new or existing restrictions, which may include the reinstatement of stay-at-home orders in the jurisdictions in which we operate or additional restrictions on travel and/or our business operations. Because the situation is ongoing, and because the duration and severity remain unclear, it is difficult to forecast any impacts on our future results.

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, ~~2020.~~2021. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since year end.

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 and by utilizing interest rate swap agreements that provide for a fixed interest payment on the Operating Partnership’s credit facility.~~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 ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, variable rate borrowings represented approximately 2%3% of our total ~~borrowings after giving effecton the Operating Partnership’s borrowings for the currently effective interest rate swap agreements on which the Operating Partnership pays a weighted average of~~ ~~1.783%~~ ~~on a total notional amount of~~ ~~$700 million. Additionally, the Operating Partnership has~~ ~~$900 million~~ ~~of notional amount of forward starting swaps that are not currently effective.~~borrowings. The following table provides additional information about our gross long-term debt subject to changes in interest rates ~~excluding the effect of the Operating Partnership interest rate swaps discussed above~~:

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 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, China, Macau or Hong Kong could cause variability in these exchange rates. We cannot assure you that the Hong Kong dollar will continue to be pegged to the U.S. dollar or the current peg rate for the Hong Kong dollar will remain at the same level. The possible changes to the peg of the Hong Kong dollar may result in severe fluctuations in the exchange rate thereof. For U.S. dollar denominated debt incurred by MGM China, fluctuations in the exchange rates of the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have adverse effects on our financial position and results of operations. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, a 1% weakening of the Hong Kong dollar (the functional currency of MGM China) to the U.S. dollar would result in a foreign currency transaction loss of $28 million.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See discussion of legal proceedings in Note 98 – Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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, ~~2020.~~2021. There have been no material changes to those factors previously disclosed in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form ~~10-K, except as discussed below.~~

The VICI Transaction and The Cosmopolitan acquisition each remains subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and any anticipated benefits from such transactions may take longer to realize than expected or may not be realized at all.

Each of the VICI Transaction and The Cosmopolitan acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, which may not be satisfied within the anticipated timeframe or at all. For example, completion of the transactions remains subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that any required regulatory approvals will be obtained, and the regulatory authorities from which approvals are required may impose conditions on the consummation of the transaction or require changes to the terms of the transaction or agreements to be entered into in connection with the transaction. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying or impeding the completion of the transactions, which might reduce the anticipated benefits to us of the transaction or have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The completion of the VICI Transaction is also subject to the satisfaction of additional closing conditions, including, among others, (i) receipt of approval of VICI’s shareholders (which was obtained on October 29, 2021), (ii) the absence of any restraining order, injunction or other judgment, order or decree from any applicable governmental authority prohibiting the consummation of the transaction, (iii) the effectiveness of the registration statement for VICI’s shares to be issued in the VICI Transaction and the authorization for listing of those shares on the New York Stock Exchange, (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on the parties to the master transaction agreement, (v) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties in the master transaction agreement, subject to customary materiality standards, and (vi) compliance of each party with its respective covenants under the master transaction agreement. No assurance can be given that these or any other required conditions to closing will be satisfied. If the conditions precedent to the VICI Transaction are not satisfied, the VICI Transaction will not be completed unless such conditions are validly waived. Such conditions may jeopardize or delay the completion of the transaction or may reduce the anticipated benefits of the transaction.

If any of the transactions are not completed, or are not completed on a timely basis, our business may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed such transactions, we may be subject to additional risks, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, the following:

•~~we will be required to pay our costs relating to such transactions, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and printing fees, whether or not the transactions are completed;~~

•~~the diversion of time and resources committed by our management to matters relating to the transactions could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities;~~

•~~we may be subject to negative publicity or be negatively perceived by the investment or business communities as a result of the failure to consummate any or all of the transactions;~~

•the price of our shares may decline to the extent that the current market price of our shares reflects a higher price than it otherwise would have based on the assumption that any or all of the transactions will be consummated;

•~~we would have incurred significant expenses relating to such transactions that we may be unable to recover; and~~

•~~we may be subject to litigation related to the failure to consummate the transactions or to perform our obligations under the respective transaction agreements.~~

In addition, we entered into the transactions as part of our current growth strategy. Even if the transactions are completed as currently anticipated, there can be no assurances that any anticipated benefits from the transactions will be realized as expected or that such benefits will be achieved within the anticipated time frame or at all. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transactions could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, cause dilution to our earnings per share, decrease or delay any accretive effect of such transactions and negatively impact the price of our common stock.

Potential litigation instituted against us, our transaction counterparties, or our respective directors challenging the proposed VICI Transaction may prevent such transaction from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.

Potential litigation related to the VICI Transaction may result in injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the parties’ ability to complete the VICI Transaction. One of the conditions to the VICI Transaction under the master transaction agreement is that no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment, order or decree issued by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting consummation of the VICI Transaction or any other transactions contemplated by the master transaction agreement shall be in effect. Accordingly, any such injunctive or other relief may prevent the VICI Transaction from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all. In addition, defending against such claims may be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business and the businesses of the counterparties to such transactions.10-K.
