Basis of Presentation


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to 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 ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Investment Securities

Investment securities consist of domestic and foreign short-term and long-term investments in corporate bonds, commercial paper, and U.S. government agency bonds reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2018, investment securities consisted of domestic and foreign corporate bonds with an amortized cost and fair value of $129.7 million. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no investment securities.

The Company assesses for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. The Company determines whether (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments, and (ii) it will not likely be required to sell these investments prior to the recovery of the amortized cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company determined it had an other-than-temporary impairment and recorded a loss of $1.7 million.


Leases


Lessee Arrangements


The Company is the lessee under non-cancelable real estate and equipment leases. Beginning on January 1, 2019 (the date of the Company's adoption of Topic 842, as defined and discussed further in "Recently Adopted Accounting Standards"), operating lease assets and liabilities are measured and recorded upon lease commencement at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. The Company combines lease and nonlease components in its determination of minimum lease payments, except for certain asset classes that have significant nonlease components. As the interest rate implicit in its leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company does not record an asset or liability for operating leases with a term of less than one year. Variable lease costs generally arise from changes in an index, such as the consumer price index. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and are not included in the determination of lease assets or liabilities. Prior to the adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company did not record an asset or liability for any of its operating leases.


Lessor Arrangements


The Company is the lessor under non-cancelable operating leases for retail and food and beverage outlet space at its integrated resorts, which represents approximately 99,000, 58,000,101,000, 59,000, 142,000, and 142,00036,000 square feet of space at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, and Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The lease arrangements generally include minimum base rent and contingent rental clauses based on a percentage of net sales. Generally, the terms of the leases range between five and 10 years. The Company records revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and recognizes revenue for contingent rentals when the contingency has been resolved. The Company has elected to combine lease and nonlease components for the purpose of measuring lease revenue. Revenue is recorded in entertainment, retail and other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.


Gaming Taxes


The Company is subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which it operates, subject to applicable jurisdictional adjustments. These gaming taxes are recorded as casino expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These taxes totaled $589.0$543.9 million and $610.0$638.4 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, and $1.69 billion and $1.81 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


Pre-opening expenses


Pre-opening expenses represent personnel, advertising, and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures and are expensed as incurred. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred pre-opening expenses primarily in connection with the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards


Leases


In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"), which requires recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of additional information about leasing activities. The Company adopted this standard using a modified retrospective transition approach with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. As a result, prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and are not comparable to current periods. The Company elected the practical expedient permitting lessees to carry forward historical lease classifications for existing arrangements. The following is a summary of the significant impacts on the Company's balance sheet as of January 1, 2019:


The Company recognized operating lease assets and liabilities of $154.1 million, which represented the discounted future minimum lease payments of all existing leases on the initial application date.
The net carrying amount of a definite-lived intangible asset, which related to a leasehold interest in land and totaled $88.1 million, was reclassified to operating lease assets.
Leasehold interests in land, net, which totaled $206.9 million, were reclassified to operating lease assets from property and equipment, net.

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

Certain other initial direct cost assets, prepaid lease assets, and deferred rent accrued liabilities were reclassified to operating lease assets.


As the Company elected to carry forward historical lease classifications, an arrangement concluded to contain a capital lease under the previous standard was deemed a finance lease under Topic 842, with no resultant change in accounting other than the reclassification of associated initial direct costs from other assets to property and equipment, net. There was no impact on the Company's operating income, net income or cash flows as a result of adopting Topic 842.


Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted


Financial Instruments - Credit Losses


The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in 2016. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements, and related disclosures.but does not expect that it will have a material impact.

Certain members of the Company's executive management team receive a portion of their annual incentive bonus in shares of the Company's stock. The number of shares is determined based on the closing stock price on the date the annual incentive bonus is settled. As the number of shares is variable, the Company records a liability for the fixed monetary amount over the service period. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards of $1.9$2.1 million and $1.8$1.3 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018.2018, respectively, and $6.3 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


Note 11 - Income Taxes


The Company recognizedrecorded an income tax expense of $1.7$19.7 million and an income tax benefit of $111.0$3.9 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $19.4 million and an income tax benefit of $124.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and the 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to the settlement of the Redemption Note.


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


Wynn Macau SA received a five-yearfive year exemption from Macau's 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits through December 31, 2020.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation


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

Aruze and Affiliates Litigation

On February 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts determined that Kazuo Okada, Universal Entertainment Corp. and Aruze and related parties (the "Okada Parties") were "unsuitable persons" under Article VII of the Company's articles and redeemed and canceled Aruze's 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock, and, pursuant to its articles of incorporation, Wynn Resorts issued the Redemption Note to Aruze in redemption of the shares. The next day, Wynn Resorts filed an action alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims (the "Redemption Action"). The Okada Parties denied the claims and asserted counterclaims.

On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") by and between the Company and its individual directors and officers (the "Wynn Parties"), and Universal Entertainment Corp. and Aruze (collectively, with Universal Entertainment Corp., the "Universal Parties"). The Settlement Agreement resolved legal proceedings pending between the settling parties in the Redemption Action. The Universal Parties further released any claims against the Wynn Parties and their affiliates in any other jurisdiction, including but not limited to a proceeding pending in Macau against Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA") and certain related individuals ("Macau Litigation"). As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the parties to the agreement dismissed all litigation between the Universal Parties and the Company and its then-directors and executives with respect to the redemption, including the Redemption Action and the Macau Litigation, but did not release Kazuo Okada. Subsequently the Company voluntarily dismissed its claim for breach of fiduciary duty against Kazuo Okada, which was the last and only remaining claim between Wynn Resorts, Kazuo Okada, and the Universal Parties in the Redemption Action.

On July 3, 2015, Wynn Macau, Limited announced that the Okada Parties filed a complaint in the Court of First Instance of Macau ("Macau Court") against Wynn Macau SA and certain individuals who are or were directors of Wynn Macau SA or WML (collectively, the "Wynn Macau Parties"). The principal allegations in the lawsuit were that the redemption of the Okada Parties' shares in Wynn Resorts was improper and undervalued, that the previously disclosed payment by Wynn Macau SA to an unrelated third party in consideration of relinquishment by that party of certain rights in and to any future development on the land in Cotai where Wynn Palace is located was unlawful, and that the previously disclosed donation by Wynn Resorts to the University of Macau Development Foundation was unlawful. The plaintiffs sought dissolution of Wynn Macau SA and compensatory damages. On July 11, 2017, the Macau Court dismissed all claims by the Okada Parties as unfounded, fined the Okada Parties, and ordered the Okada Parties to pay for court costs and the Wynn Macau Parties' attorney's fees. On or about October 16, 2017, the Okada Parties filed formal appeal papers in Macau, which Wynn Macau SA received on November 21, 2017. Wynn Macau SA filed its response on December 21, 2017. In March 2018, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Universal Parties voluntarily withdrew from the Macau Litigation, leaving Mr. Okada as the sole claimant. On February 21, 2019, the Macau Appellate Panel dismissed Mr. Okada's appeal and no appeal was lodged by Mr. Okada within the prescribed time, resulting in the final resolution of the lawsuit in favor of the Wynn Macau Parties.

Derivative Litigation Related to Redemption Action

Two state derivative actions were commenced against the Company and all members of its Board of Directors in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada by the IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund and Danny Hinson (collectively, the "Derivative Plaintiffs"). The Derivative Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on July 20, 2012 asserting various claims relating to the Redemption Action. On March 15, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation and order to dismiss the action, with prejudice, which the court entered on March 18, 2019. Neither the Company nor any of the individual defendants made any form of payment in exchange for the dismissal of the action.
Massachusetts Gaming License Related Actions


On September 17, 2014, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission ("MGC") designated Wynn MA, LLC ("Wynn MA") the award winner of the Greater Boston (Region A) gaming license.license (the "Boston area license"). On November 7, 2014, the gaming license became effective.


Massachusetts Gaming Commission Investigation and Adjudicatory Hearing

On January 31, 2018, the Investigations & Enforcement Bureau ("IEB") of the MGC announced it had commenced an investigation into the Company's ongoing suitability as a gaming licensee in that jurisdiction related to the alleged inappropriate workplace conduct by the Company’s former CEO Stephen A. Wynn. The Company fully cooperated with the IEB's investigation. After a three-day adjudicatory hearing before the MGC, the MGC concluded that the Company and Wynn MA are suitable to maintain a Massachusetts gaming license, subject to a fine of $35.0 million, which the Company paid during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and the Company's fulfillment of other conditions set forth in the MGC decision.

Revere Action

On October 16, 2014, the City of Revere, the host community to the unsuccessful bidder for the Boston area license, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103 ("IBEW"), and several individuals, filed a complaint against the MGC and its gaming commissioners in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Massachusetts (the "Revere Action"). Mohegan Sun ("Mohegan") the other applicant for the Boston area license, joined the lawsuit and challenged the MGC's award of the Boston area license. On December 3, 2015, the court granted the MGC's motion to dismiss the claims asserted in the Revere Action and the court dismissed all claims except Mohegan's claim alleging procedural error by the MGC in granting the license to Wynn MA. The plaintiffs appealed. After multiple appeals and cross appeals, only two claims remained: (1) individual plaintiffs' claim for violation of the open meeting laws; and (2) Mohegan's claim for procedural error. On July 12, 2019, the Suffolk Superior Court granted the MGC's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the open meeting law claim, leaving only Mohegan's procedural claim.

On August 2, 2019, Mohegan filed a motion to file a second amended complaint, to add new claims related to the MGC's allegedly inadequate 2013 investigation, using information, documents and testimony from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission Investigation and Adjudicatory Hearing. On October 15, 2019, the court granted Mohegan's motion to amend and allowed it to file a second amended intervenor's complaint.

Wynn MA was not named in the Revere Action. The MGC retained private legal representation at its own nontaxpayer-funded expense.

Revere Action

On October 16, 2014, the City of Revere, the host community to the unsuccessful bidder for the same license, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103 ("IBEW") filed a complaint against the MGC and each of the five gaming commissioners in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Massachusetts (the "Revere Action"). The complaint challenges the MGC's decision and alleges that the MGC failed to follow statutory requirements outlined in the Gaming Act. The complaint (1) seeks to appeal the administrative decision, (2) asserts that certiorari provides a remedy to correct errors in proceedings by an agency such as the MGC, (3) challenges the constitutionality of that section of the gaming law which bars judicial review of the MGC's decision to deny an applicant a gaming license, and (4) alleges violations of the open meeting law requirements. The court allowed Mohegan Sun ("Mohegan"), the other applicant for the Greater Boston (Region A) gaming license, to intervene in the Revere Action, and on February 23, 2015, Mohegan filed its complaint. The Mohegan complaint challenges the license award to Wynn MA, seeks judicial review of the MGC's decision, and seeks to vacate the MGC's license award to Wynn MA.

On July 1, 2015, the MGC filed motions to dismiss Mohegan's and the City of Revere's complaints. On December 3, 2015, the court granted the motion to dismiss the claims asserted in the Revere Action. Also on December 3, 2015, the court granted the motion to dismiss three of the four counts asserted by Mohegan but denied the motion as to Mohegan's certiorari claim. The City of Revere and IBEW sought immediate appellate review of the dismissal of their claims and the MGC requested immediate appellate review of the court's denial of the MGC's motion to dismiss Mohegan's certiorari claim. All three petitions for interlocutory review were denied. The parties then appealed to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ("SJC"). On March 10, 2017, the SJC affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the City of Revere's claims and IBEW's claims. The SJC affirmed the court's dismissal of Mohegan's claims except for the certiorari claim, which the SJC remanded to the Suffolk Superior Court. Mohegan filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings on November 3, 2017, a hearing on which has not yet been rescheduled. The MGC and Mohegan are assembling the administrative record for review by the court.

The SJC reversed the trial court's dismissal of the individual plaintiffs' open meeting law claim and remanded that claim to the Suffolk Superior Court. The parties have completed discovery. The MGC filed a motion for summary judgment and oral argument, which is scheduled for hearing on May 14, 2019.

Wynn MA was not named in the Revere Action. The MGC retained private legal representation at its own nontaxpayer-funded expense.

On June 10, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, or alternatively to consolidate this action into the Federal Derivative Case, which is stayed. The motion is currently pending before the court.

On February 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts determined that Universal Entertainment Corp., Aruze (together with Universal Entertainment Corp, the "Universal Parties") and Kazuo Okada, and the related parties (collectively, the "Okada Parties") were "unsuitable persons" under the Company's articles and redeemed and canceled Aruze's 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock, and, pursuant to its articles of incorporation, Wynn Resorts issued the Redemption Note to Aruze in redemption of the shares. The next day, Wynn Resorts filed an action alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims (the "Redemption Action"). The Okada Parties denied the claims and asserted counterclaims.

On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") by and between the Company and its individual directors and officers (the "Wynn Parties"), and the Universal Parties. The Settlement Agreement resolved all legal proceedings pending between the settling parties in the Redemption Action. The Universal Parties further released any claims against the Wynn Parties and their affiliates in any other jurisdiction, including a proceeding pending in Macau against Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA") and certain related individuals ("Macau Litigation"). Subsequently the Company voluntarily dismissed its claim for breach of fiduciary duty against Kazuo Okada.

In 2015, the Okada Parties filed a complaint in the Court of First Instance of Macau ("Macau Court") against Wynn Macau SA and certain individuals who are or were directors of Wynn Macau SA or WML (collectively, the "Wynn Macau Parties"). On July 11, 2017, the Macau Court dismissed all of the Okada Parties' claims as unfounded, fined the Okada Parties, and ordered the Okada Parties to pay for court costs and the Wynn Macau Parties' attorney's fees. On or about October 16, 2017, the Okada Parties formally appealed in Macau. On February 21, 2019, the Macau Appellate Panel dismissed the appeal. Mr. Okada, who was at that time the only remaining claimant after the Universal Parties' withdrawal pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, failed to appeal within the prescribed time, resulting in the final resolution of the lawsuit in favor of the Wynn Macau Parties.

Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-

(2) Adjusted Property EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other, stock-based compensation, (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, change in derivatives fair value, change in Redemption Note fair value and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of the Company's performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, Wynn Resorts'the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

(2)Excludes $0.3 million included in pre-opening expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

(3) Excludes $0.7 million included in pre-opening expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Key Operating Measures


Certain key operating measures specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussion of our operational performance for the periods for which the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented. These key operating measures are defined below:


Table drop in mass market for our Macau Operations is the amount of cash that is deposited in a gaming table's drop box plus cash chips purchased at the casino cage.
Table drop for our Las Vegas Operations is the amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
Table drop for Encore Boston Harbor is the amount of cash and gross markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
Rolling chips are non-negotiable identifiable chips that are used to track turnover for purposes of calculating incentives within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
Turnover is the sum of all losing rolling chip wagers within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
Table games win is the amount of table drop or turnover that is retained and recorded as casino revenues. Table games win is before discounts, commissions and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.
Slot machine win is the amount of handle (representing the total amount wagered) that is retained by us and is recorded as casino revenues. Slot machine win is after adjustment for progressive accruals and free play, but before discounts and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.
Average daily rate ("ADR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms occupied.
Revenue per available room ("REVPAR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms available.
Occupancy is calculated by dividing total occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by the total rooms available.


Below is a discussion of the methodologies used to calculate win percentages at our resorts.


In our VIP operations in Macau, customers primarily purchase rolling chips from the casino cage and can only use them to make wagers. Winning wagers are paid in cash chips. The loss of the rolling chips in the VIP operations is recorded as turnover and provides a base for calculating VIP win percentage. It is customary in Macau to measure VIP play using this rolling chip method. We expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 2.7% to 3.0%.



31



In our mass market operations in Macau, customers may purchase cash chips at either the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The measurements from our VIP and mass market operations are not comparable as the measurement method used in our mass market operations tracks the initial purchase of chips at the table and at the casino cage, while the measurement method from our VIP operations tracks the sum of all losing wagers. Accordingly, the base measurement from the VIP operations is much larger than the base measurement from the mass market operations. As a result, the expected win percentage with the same amount of gaming win is lower in the VIP operations when compared to the mass market operations.


In Las Vegas, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables.tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers at the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The cash and markers, net of redemptions, used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 22% to 26%.

At Encore Boston Harbor, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers only at the casino cage. The cash and gross markers used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage in Las Vegas.percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage in Las Vegas is 22%16% to 26%20%.

Casino revenues

Casino revenues decreased primarily due to decreased VIP turnover and VIP table games win at our Macau Operations, partially offset by increased mass market table drop and slot machine handle at our Macau Operations and casino revenues from Encore Boston Harbor totaling $114.9 million.

(1) Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Room revenues increased $22.8 million, primarily due to $18.2 million from Encore Boston Harbor and higher ADR at our Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by rooms out of service for renovations at Wynn Macau.

Food and beverage revenues increased $34.6 million, primarily due to $29.0 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increased covers at our high-volume restaurants at our Macau Operations.

Entertainment, retail and other revenues decreased $5.1 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the effect of which was partially offset by Entertainment, retail and other revenues of $13.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor. During the third quarter of 2018, Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau recorded business interruption insurance proceeds of $5.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, related to the full settlement of claims from Typhoon Hato in 2017.

Total operating expenses increased $51.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to operating expenses associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor on June 23, 2019, partially offset by decreased casino expenses and pre-opening expenses.

Casino expenses decreased commensurate with the decrease in casino revenues at our Macau Operations and Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by $64.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor.

Room expenses increased primarily due to $9.5 million from Encore Boston Harbor and an increase of $2.0 million at our Las Vegas Operations. The increase at our Las Vegas Operations was primarily due to increased payroll costs.

Food and beverage expenses increased primarily due to $28.3 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $2.2 million and $2.4 million at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively. The increases at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau were driven by incremental costs associated with opening new food and beverage outlets at Wynn Palace and increased costs of goods sold.

Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the opening of Encore Boston Harbor, partially offset by a decrease of $8.9 million primarily related to corporate and other general and administrative expenses. The decrease in corporate and other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, pre-opening expenses totaled $1.6 million, which primarily related to the additional meeting and convention facility at our Las Vegas Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, pre-opening expenses totaled $13.7 million, which primarily related to the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation expense of $36.3 million associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor.

Interest costs increased due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance and weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased due to the completion of Encore Boston Harbor construction activities on June 23, 2019.
Other non-operating income and expenses

We recorded a $12.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Refinancing Transactions. For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement loss of $8.7 million and gain of $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities drove the variability between periods.

Income taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $19.7 million and an income tax benefit of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and the 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to an increase in deferred tax assets.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $63.7 million for the same period of 2018. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net income from WML.

Food and beverage revenues increased $38.8 million, primarily due to $32.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increased covers at our high-volume restaurants at our Macau Operations.

Entertainment, retail and other revenues decreased $19.5 million primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the effect of which was partially offset by Entertainment, retail and other revenues of $14.1 million from Encore Boston Harbor.

Total operating expenses decreased $400.5$234.9 million compared withto the first quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a prior year litigation settlement expense of $463.6 million. The decrease was partially offset by operating expenses associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor on June 23, 2019.


Casino expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in gaming taxes commensurate with the decrease in casino revenues.revenues at our Macau Operations and Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by $73.0 million of casino expenses from Encore Boston Harbor.


Room expenses increased primarily due to $10.0 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $3.0 million and $1.5 million from our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Palace, respectively. The increases from Wynn Palace and our Las Vegas Operations were primarily driven by increased payroll costs.

Food and beverage expenses increased $5.4primarily due to $31.9 million $3.1from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $11.9 million, $8.7 million and $2.6$6.6 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. The increases at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau were driven by incremental costs associated with opening new food and beverage outlets at Wynn Palace and increased costscost of goods sold. The increase at our Las Vegas Operations was primarily driven by increased payroll costs.


Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $4.0$9.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in retail coststhe closure of sales commensurate with the decrease in sales atcertain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau.Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019.


General and administrative expenses increased $2.7primarily due to $67.1 million $4.5from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $4.7 million, $9.2 million, and $1.5$4.9 million, at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to increased payroll costs and property taxes at our Macau Operations and increased advertising costs at our Las Vegas Operations. Corporate and other general and administrative expenses increased $39.0$34.6 million, primarily due to a fine of $35$35.0 million assessed by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.


Litigation settlement expense of $463.6 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2018 in connection with the repayment of the Redemption Note for claims related to the allegedly below-market interest rate of the Redemption Note.


The provision for doubtful accounts increased $1.6$8.0 million and $3.2$1.3 million at Wynn Macau and our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Macau, respectively. The change was primarily due to the impact of historical collection patterns and current collection trends, as well as the specific review of customer accounts, on our estimated allowance for the respective periods.


For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, pre-opening expenses totaled $27.7$99.2 million and $10.3$35.3 million, respectively, which primarily related to the continued development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Other non-operating income and expenses


During the first quarter of 2018, we repaid the $1.94 billion principal amount of the Redemption Note and recorded a loss of $69.3 million from the change in the fair value of the Redemption Note.
We recorded a $2.3$12.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Refinancing Transactions. For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources." We recorded a $2.1 million net gain on extinguishment of debt for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, related to the repayment of the Redemption Note, Wynn Resorts' purchase of $40.0 million of Wynn Las Vegas' 5 1/2% Senior Notes due 2025 and 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2027 and the execution of the supplemental indenture related to Wynn Las Vegas' 4 1/4% Senior Notes due 2023.

Income Taxestaxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $1.7$19.4 million and an income tax benefit of $111.0$124.6 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Adjusted Property EBITDA


We use Adjusted Property EBITDA to manage the operating results of our segments. Adjusted Property EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other, stock-based compensation, (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, change in derivatives fair value, change in Redemption Note fair value and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because we believe that it is widely

used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. We use Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of our segments and to compare the operating performance of our properties with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including Wynn Resorts, Limited, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of the Company's performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, Wynn Resorts'the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.


The following table summarizes Adjusted Property EBITDA (in thousands) for ourWynn Palace, Wynn Macau, and Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor as reviewed by management and summarized in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 16, "Segment Information." That footnote also presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.

Operating Activities


Our operating cash flows primarily consist of the operating income generated by our Macau and Las Vegas Operations (excluding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges), interest paid and earned, and changes in working capital accounts such as receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, and payables. Our table games play in both Macau and Las Vegas is a mix of cash play and credit play, while our slot machine play is conducted primarily on a cash basis. A significant portion of our table games revenue is attributable to the play of a limited number of premium international customers who gamble on credit. The ability to collect these gaming receivables may impact our operating cash flow for the period. Our rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other revenue is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Accordingly, operating cash flows will be impacted by changes in operating income and accounts receivable, net.


The increase in net cash provided by operations was primarily driven by changes in our working capital accounts and an increase in net income fordeferred tax assets related to the threesettlement of the Redemption Note during the nine months ended March 31, 2019.September 30, 2018.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity


We may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.
 
Legal proceedings in which we are involved also may impact our liquidity. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such proceedings. In addition, litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding legal proceedings, see Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies."


Our Board of Directors has authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion. Under the equity repurchase program, we may repurchase the Company's outstanding shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, we had $843.3$800.1 million in repurchase authority remaining under the program.


We have in the past repurchased, and in the future, we may periodically consider repurchasing our outstanding notes for cash. The amount of any notes to be repurchased, as well as the timing of any repurchases, will be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price, contractual requirements or consents, and capital availability.


New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in domestic and international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any new development would require us to

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.


Interest Rate Risks


One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, supplemented by hedging activities as believed by us to be appropriate. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Interest Rate Sensitivity


As of March 31,September 30, 2019, approximately 48.6%54.5% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our borrowings as of March 31,September 30, 2019, an assumed 100 basis point change in the variable rates would cause our annual interest expense to change by $47.8$43.8 million.


In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Retail Term Loan, the Company entered into a five-yearfive year interest rate collar with a notional value of $615$615.0 million. The interest rate collar establishes a range whereby the Company will pay the counterparty if one-month LIBOR falls below the established floor rate of 1.00%, and the counterparty will pay the Company if one-month LIBOR exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.75%.


Foreign Currency Risks


We expect most of the revenues and expenses for any casino that we operate in Macau will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars or Macau patacas; however, a significant portion of our Wynn Macau, Limited debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rates resulting in weakening of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have materially adverse effects on our results, financial condition and ability to service debt. Based on our balances

50

Table of Contents


as of March 31,September 30, 2019, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of $27.0$27.7 million.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
