Capital Financing Strategy

Overview

Through September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, the Company has funded its development projects primarily through borrowings under its credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from its equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.

The U.S. credit facility requires the Company’s Las Vegas operations to comply with certain financial covenants at the end of each quarter, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The maximum leverage ratio is 5.0x for all quarterly periods through maturity. The Company can elect to contribute up to $50 million of cash on hand to its Las Vegas operations on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio. The Company’s Macao facility also requires the Company’s Macao operations to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2013 through December 31, 2014, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending March 31 through December 31, 2015, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Company’s Singapore credit facility (the “2012 Singapore Credit Facility”) requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. If the Company is unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, it would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under the U.S. credit facility would trigger a cross-default under the Company’s airplane financings. Any defaults or cross-defaults under these agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force the Company to restructure or alter its operations or debt obligations.

The Company held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.21$3.30 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $7.3$5.9 million as of September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. The Company believes the cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of its credit facilities. The Company may needelect to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of its Cotai Strip developments. In the normal course of its activities, the Company will continue to evaluate its capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof, includingthereof. The Company is no longer evaluating strategic alternatives related to the Company’sits Pennsylvania operations.

In December 2013, the Company entered into its $3.5 billion 2013 U.S. Credit Facility, which was primarily used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the prior senior secured credit facility. In March 2014, the Company amended its Macao credit facility, which extended a portion of the term loans under the facility to March 2020 and provides for revolving loan commitments of $2.0 billion (see “— Note 3 — Long-term Debt — 2011 VML Credit Facility”).

In accordance with the April 2004 purchase and sale agreement, as amended, between Venetian Casino Resort, LLC (“VCR”) and GGP (the “Amended Agreement”), the Company sold the portion of the Grand Canal Shoppes located within The Palazzo (formerly referred to as "The Shoppes at the Palazzo"). Under the terms of the settlement with GGP on June 24, 2011, the Company retained the $295.4 million of proceeds previously received and participates in certain potential future revenues earned by GGP. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzotransaction has not been accounted for as a sale because the Company’s participation in certain potential future revenues constitutes continuing involvement.involvement in The Shoppes at The Palazzo. Therefore, $266.2 million of the proceeds allocated to the mall sale transaction has been recorded as deferred proceeds (a long-term financing obligation), which will accrue interest at an imputed rate and will be offset by (i) imputed rental income and (ii) rent payments made to GGP related to spaces leased back from GGP by the Company. The property and equipment legally sold to GGP totaling $242.1$236.4 million (net of $69.2$75.0 million of accumulated depreciation) as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, will continue to be recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and will continue to be depreciated in the Company’s condensed consolidated income statement.

During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company capitalized interest expense of $0.9 million, $3.3 million, $9.9$1.7 million and $44.3$1.8 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company capitalized approximately $5.9 million, $16.9 million, $4.8$7.9 million and $13.2$5.7 million, respectively, of internal costs, consisting primarily of compensation expense for individuals directly involved with the development and construction of property.

Warrants

On March 2, 2012, the Principal Stockholder’s family exercised all of their outstanding warrants to purchase 87,500,175 shares of the Company’s common stock for $6.00 per share and paid $525.0 million in cash as settlement of the warrant exercise price. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 39,070 warrants were exercised to purchase an aggregate of 655,496 shares of the Company’s common stock at $6.00 per share and $3.9 million in cash was received as settlement of the warrant exercise price. No warrants were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Other Equity Transactions

In July 2012, the Company purchased a Boeing 747 airplane from an entity controlled by the Principal Stockholder for $34.0 million, based on independent third party appraisals. In accordance with accounting standards regarding transactions between entities under common control, the Company recorded the cost of the airplane at the Principal Stockholder’s book value at the date of the transaction, which was $15.4 million. The $18.6 million difference between the amount paid and the book value of the airplane (a gain to the Principal Stockholder) was recorded as a deemed distribution to the Principal Stockholder during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company believes that the purchase of the airplane allows it to meet the increased demand for high-end premium direct customer travel driven from the Company’s expanding global gaming operations and is an important component in creating the ultimate trans-Pacific transportation experience for its customers. The Company believes it would have been more costly to acquire the airplane in the open market due to the limited supply of similar aircraft with luxury features.

NOTE 5 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is the primary beneficiary and discloses significant variable interests in VIEs of which it is not the primary beneficiary, if any, which management determines such designation based on accounting standards for VIEs.

The Company has entered into various joint venture agreements with independent third parties. The operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated by the Company due to the Company’s significant investment in these joint ventures, its power to direct the activities of the joint ventures that would significantly impact their economic performance and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or the rights to receive potentially significant benefits from these joint ventures. The Company evaluates its primary beneficiary designation on an ongoing basis and assesses the appropriateness of the VIE’s status when events have occurred that would trigger such an analysis.

As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2012,2013, the Company’s joint ventures had total assets of $105.5$87.7 million and $94.5$103.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $121.9$114.3 million and $95.8$125.4 million, respectively.

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao and Singapore. In January 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of tax years 2005 through 2009. The Company decreased its unrecognized tax benefits by $9.3 million due to the conclusion of the IRS audit. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore is performing a compliance review of the Marina Bay Sands tax return for tax years 2010, 2011 and 2011.2012. The Company is subject to examination for tax years after 20072008 in Macao and Singapore and for tax years after 2009 in the U.S. and Singapore. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its uncertain tax positions; however, there is no assurance that the taxing authorities will not propose adjustments that are different from the Company’s expected outcome, which would impact the provision for income taxes.

Since January 1, 2012, the

The Company no longer considersdoes not consider the current portion of theyear's tax earnings and profits of certain of its foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested. The Company has not provided a deferred tax provisiontaxes for these foreign earnings as the Company expects there will be sufficient U.S.creditable foreign tax creditstaxes to offset the U.S. income tax that would result from the repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company recorded valuation allowances on thecertain net deferred tax assets of its U.S. operations and certain foreign jurisdictions. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period and to the extent it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company will reduce the valuation allowance as appropriate.

In October 2013, the Company received a third 5-year income tax exemption in Macao that exempts the Company from paying corporate income tax on profits generated by gaming operations. The Company will continue to benefit from this tax exemption through the end of 2018. In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the Macao government, effective through the end of 2013, that providesprovided for an annual payment of 14.4 million patacas (approximately $1.8 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2013) asMarch 31, 2014) that was a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from Venetian Macau Limited (“VML”) shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits. The Company will requesthas requested an extension of theadditional agreement with the Macao government through 2018 to correspond to the income tax exemption for gaming operations;operations. The Macao government responded to the Company’s request with a draft agreement that includes an annual payment of 42.4 million patacas (approximately $5.3 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2014). The Company intends to finalize this agreement with the Macao government; however, there iscan be no assurance that the Company will receive the extension.

In September 2013, the Company and the IRS entered into a Pre-Filing Agreement providing that the Macao special gaming tax (35%final requested agreement.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Under applicable accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance also establishes a valuation hierarchy for inputs in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs (inputs market participants would use based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company) and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs (inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions based upon the best information available in the circumstances) by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in

Table of Contents

active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets carried at fair value (in thousands):

On October 15, 2004, Richard Suen and Round Square Company Limited (“RSC”) filed an action against LVSC, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. (“LVSI”), Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the “District Court of Clark County”), asserting a breach of an alleged agreement to pay a success fee of $5.0 million and 2.0% of the net profit from the Company’s Macao resort operations to the plaintiffs as well as other related claims. In March 2005, LVSC was dismissed as a party without prejudice based on a stipulation to do so between the parties. Pursuant to an order filed March 16, 2006, plaintiffs’ fraud claims set forth in the first amended complaint were dismissed with prejudice against all defendants. The order also dismissed with prejudice the first amended complaint against defendants Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner. On May 24, 2008, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs in the amount of $43.8 million. On June 30, 2008, a judgment was entered in this matter in the amount of $58.6 million (including pre-judgment interest). The Company appealed the verdict to the Nevada Supreme Court. On November 17, 2010, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the judgment and remanded the case to the District Court of Clark County for a new trial. In its decision reversing the monetary judgment against the Company, the Nevada Supreme Court also made several other rulings, which may affect the outcome of the new trial, including overturning the pre-trial dismissal of the plaintiffs’ breach of contract claim and deciding several evidentiary matters, some of which confirmed and some of which overturned rulings made by the District Court of Clark County. On February 27, 2012, the District Court of Clark County set a date of March 25, 2013, for the new trial. On June 22, 2012, the defendants filed a request to add experts and plaintiffs filed a motion seeking additional financial data as part of their discovery. The District Court of Clark County granted both requests. The retrial began on March 27 and on May 14, 2013, the jury returned a verdict in favor of RSC in the amount of $70.0 million. On May 28, 2013, a judgment was entered in the matter in the amount of $101.6 million (including pre-judgment interest). On June 7, 2013, the Company filed a motion with the District Court of Clark County requesting that the judgment be set aside as a matter of law or in the alternative that a new trial be granted. On July 30, 2013, the District Court of Clark County denied the Company’s motion. On October 17, 2013, the Court entered an order granting plaintiff’s request for certain costs and fees associated with the litigation in the amount of approximately $1.0 million. TheOn December 6, 2013, the Company intends tofiled a notice of appeal of the jury verdict andwith the award ofNevada Supreme Court. The Company's opening appellate brief with the costs and fees.Supreme Court is due to be filed on May 14, 2014. The Company believes that it has valid bases in law and fact to appeal these verdicts. As a result, the Company believes that the likelihood that the amount of the judgments will be affirmed is not probable, and, accordingly, that the amount of any loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Because the Company believes that this potential loss is not probable or estimable, it has not recorded any reserves or contingencies related

to this legal matter. In the event that the Company’s assumptions used to evaluate this matter as neither probable nor estimable change in future periods, it may be required to record a liability for an adverse outcome.

On October 20, 2010, Steven C. Jacobs, the former Chief Executive Officer of SCL, filed an action against LVSC and SCL in the District Court of Clark County alleging breach of contract against LVSC and SCL and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and tortious discharge in violation of public policy against LVSC. On March 16, 2011, an amended complaint was filed, which added Sheldon G. Adelson as a defendant and alleged a claim of defamation per se against him, LVSC and SCL. On June 9, 2011, the District Court of Clark County dismissed the defamation claim and certified the decision as to Sheldon G. Adelson as a final judgment. On July 1, 2011, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal regarding the final judgment as to Sheldon G. Adelson. On August 26, 2011, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a writ of mandamus instructing the District Court of Clark County to hold an evidentiary hearing on whether personal jurisdiction exists over SCL and stayed the case until after the district court’s decision. On January 17, 2012, Mr. Jacobs filed his opening brief with the Nevada Supreme Court regarding his appeal of the defamation claim against Mr. Adelson. On January 30, 2012, Mr. Adelson filed his reply to Mr. Jacobs’ opening brief. On March 8, 2012, the District Court of Clark County set a hearing date for the week of June 25-29, 2012, for the evidentiary hearing on personal jurisdiction over SCL. On May 24, 2012, the District Court of Clark County vacated the hearing date previously set for June 25-29 and set a status conference for June 28, 2012. At the June 28 status hearing, the District Court of Clark County set out a hearing schedule to resolve a discovery dispute and did not reset a date for the jurisdictional hearing. From September 10 to September 12, 2012, the District Court of Clark County held a hearing to determine the outcome of certain discovery disputes and issued an Order on September 14, 2012. In its Order, the District Court of Clark County fined LVSC $25,000 and, for the purposes of the jurisdictional discovery and evidentiary hearing, precluded the Defendants from relying on the Macao Data Privacy Act as an objection or defense under its discovery obligations. On December 21, 2012, the District Court of Clark County ordered the defendants to produce documents from a former counsel to LVSC containing attorney client privileged information.

On February 15, 2013, the Nevada Supreme Court ordered the plaintiff to answer the January Writ. On February 28, 2013, the District Court of Clark County ordered a hearing on plaintiff’s request for sanctions and additional discovery (the “February 28th Order”). On April 8, 2013, the defendants filed a writ with the Nevada Supreme Court challenging the February 28th Order (the “April Writ”); and the Nevada Supreme Court ordered the plaintiff to answer the April Writ by May 20, 2013. The defendants also filed and were granted a stay of the February 28th Order by the District Court of Clark County until such time as the Nevada Supreme Court decides the April Writ. On June 18, 2013, the District Court of Clark County scheduled the jurisdictional hearing for July 16-22, 2013 and issued an order allowing the plaintiff access to privileged communications of counsel to the Company (the “June 18th Order”). On June 21, 2013, the Company filed another writ with the Nevada Supreme Court challenging the June 18th Order (the “June Writ”). The Nevada Supreme Court accepted the June Writ on June 28, 2013, and issued a stay of the June 18th Order. On June 28, 2013, the District Court of Clark County vacated the jurisdictional hearing. On July 3, 2013, the Company filed a motion with the Nevada Supreme Court to consolidate the pending writs (each of which have now been fully briefed to the Nevada Supreme Court)Court as of the date of this filing). On October 9, 2013, the Nevada Supreme Court heard arguments on the January Writ and plaintiff’s appeal of the District Court of Clark County’s dismissal of plaintiff’s defamation claim against Mr. Adelson. The Nevada Supreme Court has taken both matters under advisement pending a decision. On January 29, 2014, the defendants filed Supplemental Authority and a Motion to Recall Mandate with the Nevada Supreme Court to (i) inform the Nevada Supreme Court of a recently decided U.S. Supreme Court case involving similar jurisdictional issues to this matter and (ii) given this new precedent, to review anew its August 26, 2011, writ of mandamus to the District Court of Clark County, respectively. On February 27, 2014, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Company on the January Writ. On March 3, 2014, the Nevada Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the April and June Writs. No decisions on those writs have yet been issued. On March 24, 2014, the order issued by the Nevada Supreme Court on February 27, 2014, granting the January writ in favor of the Company became effective. Mr. Jacobs is seeking unspecified damages in this matter.damages. This action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On February 9, 2011, LVSC received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requesting that the Company produce documents relating to its compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”). The Company has also been advised by the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) that it is conducting a similar investigation. It is the Company’s belief that the subpoena may have emanated from the lawsuit filed by Steven C. Jacobs described above.

After the Company’s receipt of the subpoena from the SEC on February 9, 2011, the Board of Directors delegated to the Audit Committee, comprised of three independent members of the Board of Directors, the authority to investigate the matters raised in the SEC subpoena and related inquiry of the DOJ.

As part of the 2012 annual audit of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee advised the Company and its independent accountants that it had reached certain preliminary findings, including that there were likely violations of the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA and that in recent years, the Company has improved its practices with respect to books and records and internal controls.

Based on the information provided to management by the Audit Committee and its counsel, the Company believes, and the Audit Committee concurs, that the preliminary findings:

do not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company;

do not warrant any restatement of the Company’s past financial statements; and

do not represent a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013.

On May 24, 2010, Frank J. Fosbre, Jr. filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the “U.S. District Court”), against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson, and William P. Weidner. The complaint alleged that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from August 1, 2007 through November 6, 2008. The complaint sought, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On July 21, 2010, Wendell and Shirley Combs filed a purported class action complaint in the U.S. District Court, against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson, and William P. Weidner. The complaint alleged that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from June 13, 2007 through November 11, 2008. The complaint, which was substantially similar to the Fosbre complaint, discussed above, sought, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 31, 2010, the U.S. District Court entered an order consolidating the Fosbre and Combs cases, and appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. As such, the Fosbre and Combs cases are reported as one consolidated matter. On November 1, 2010, a purported class action amended complaint was filed in the consolidated action against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner. The amended complaint alleges that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false and misleading information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from August 2, 2007 through November 6, 2008. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On January 10, 2011, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which, on August 24, 2011, was granted in part, and denied in part, with the dismissal of certain allegations. On November 7, 2011, the defendants filed their answer to the allegations remaining in the amended complaint. On July 11, 2012, the U.S. District Court issued an order allowing Defendants’ Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Court’s Order dated August 24, 2011, striking additional portions of the plaintiff’s complaint and reducing the class period to a period of February 4 to November 6, 2008. On August 7, 2012, the plaintiff filed a purported class action second amended complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”) seeking to expand their allegations back to a time period of 2007 (having previously been cut back to 2008 by the U.S. District Court) essentially alleging very similar matters that had been previously stricken by the U.S. District Court. On October 16, 2012, the defendants filed a new motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. The plaintiffs responded to the motion to dismiss on November 1, 2012, and defendants filed their reply on November 12, 2012. On November 20, 2012, the U.S. District Court granted a stay of discovery under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act pending a decision on the new motion to dismiss and therefore, the discovery process has been suspended. On April 16, 2013, the case was reassigned to a new judge. On July 30, 2013, the U.S. District Court heard the motion to dismiss and took the matter under advisement. On November 7, 2013, the judge granted in part and denied in part defendants motions to dismiss. On December 13, 2013, the defendants filed their answer to the second amended complaint. Discovery in the matter has re-started. On January 8, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion to expand the certified class period. On February 3, 2014, the judge agreed to the parties' stipulation to defer briefing on the issue of expanding the class period until the U.S. Supreme Court issues a decision in the case of Halliburton Co. v. Erica P. John Fund, Inc. This consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On March 9, 2011, Benyamin Kohanim filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Kohanim action”) on behalf of the Company in the District Court of Clark County against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time.

Gaines, Sunshine Wire and Cable Defined Benefit Pension Plan Trust dated 1/1/92 and Peachtree Mortgage Ltd. filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Gaines action”) on behalf of the Company in the District Court of Clark County against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time. The complaint raises substantially similar claims as alleged in the Kohanim action. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. The Kohanim and Gaines actions have been consolidated and are reported as one consolidated matter. On July 25, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a first verified amended consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs have twice agreed to stay the proceedings. A 120-day stay was entered by the Court in October 2011. It was extended for another 90 days in February 2012 and expired in May 2012. The parties agreed to an extension of the May 2012 deadline that expired on October 30, 2012. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on November 1, 2012, based on the fact that the plaintiffs have suffered no damages. On January 23, 2013, the Court denied the motion to dismiss in part, deferred the remainder of the motion to dismiss and stayed the proceedings until a July 22, 2013, status hearing. On July 22, 2013, the Court extended the stay until December 2, 2013.2013, and then on December 2, 2013, extended it again until March 3, 2014. On March 3, 2014, the Judge extended the stay until a status hearing set for September 4, 2014. This consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On March 6, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company received a shareholder demand letter from a purported shareholder named the John F. Scarpa Foundation ("Scarpa"). This demand recites substantially the same allegations as the complaint filed in the Sokolowski matter and was delivered to the Company by the same counsel representing Sokolowski. The Company responded, through its counsel, on March 26, 2014. Scarpa then delivered a revised demand letter to the Board of Directors on March 31, 2014. The Company responded, through its counsel, on April 8, 2014. This matter is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter, whether this matter will result in litigation or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.
On January 19, 2012, Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited (“AAEC”) filed a claim (the “Macao action”) with the Macao Judicial Court (Tribunal Judicial de Base) against VML, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. (“LVS (Nevada)”), Las Vegas Sands, LLC (“LVSLLC”) and Venetian Casino Resort, LLC (“VCR” and collectively,VCR (collectively, the “Defendants”). The claim is for 3.0 billion patacas (approximately $375.6$375.4 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2013)March 31, 2014) as compensation for damages resulting from the alleged breach of agreements entered into between AAEC and the Defendants for their joint presentation of a bid in response to the public tender held by the Macao government for the award of gaming concessions at the end of 2001. On July 4, 2012, the Defendants filed their defense to the Macao action with the Macao Judicial Court. AAEC then filed a reply that included several amendments to the original claim, although the amount of the claim was not amended. On January 4, 2013, the Defendants filed an amended defense to the amended claim with the Macao Judicial Court. On September 23, 2013, the three U.S. Defendants filed a motion with the Macao Second Instance Court, seeking recognition and enforcement of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in the Prior Action, referred to below, given on April 10, 2009, which partially dismissed AAEC’s claims against the three U.S. Defendants. On April 24, 2014, the Macao Judicial Court issued a Decision (Despacho Seneador) holding that AAEC’s claim against VML is unfounded and that VML be removed as a party to the proceedings, and that the claim should proceed exclusively against the three U.S. Defendants. The Macao Judicial Court further held that the existence of the pending application for recognition and enforcement of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling before the Macao Second Instance Court did not justify a stay of the proceedings against the three U.S. Defendants at the present time, although in principle an application for a stay of the proceedings against the three U.S. Defendants could be reviewed after the Macao Second Instance Court had issued its decision. The Macao action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

As previously disclosed by the Company, on February 5, 2007, AAEC brought a similar claim (the “Prior Action”) in the U.S. District Court, against LVSI (now known as LVSLLC), VCR and Venetian Venture Development, LLC, which are subsidiaries of the Company, and William P. Weidner and David Friedman, who are former executives of the Company. The U.S. District Court entered an order on April 16, 2010, dismissing the Prior Action. On April 20, 2012, LVSLLC, VCR and LVS (Nevada) filed an injunctive action (the “Nevada Action”) against AAEC in the U.S. District Court seeking to enjoin AAEC from proceeding with the Macao Action based on AAEC’s filing, and the U.S. District Court’s dismissal, of the Prior Action. On June 14, 2012, the U.S. District Court issued an order that denied the motions requesting the Nevada Action, thereby effectively dismissing the Nevada Action.

On August 1, 2012, SCL filed an announcement with the SEHK stating that SCL’s subsidiary, VML, has received a notification from the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Macao government (the “OPDP”) indicating that the OPDP has launched an official investigation procedure in relation to the alleged transfer from Macao by VML to the United States of certain data contrary to the Personal Data Protection Act (Macau). On April 13, 2013, the OPDP presented its findings and VML received a cumulative fine of 40,000 patacas (approximately $5,008 at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2013). VML paid the fine as levied by the OPDP.

The Company haspreviously received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California (the “USAO”) requesting the production of documents relating to two prior customers of the Company’s properties. In August 2013, the USAO completed its investigation and entered into an agreement with the Company, whereby the Company agreed to voluntarily return $47.4 million to the U.S. Treasury, which represented funds received from or on behalf of one of its customers, and provide

On February 11, 2014, the Company disclosed that it was the victim of a sophisticated cyber-attack on its computer networks in the United States. As a result of this criminal attack, the U.S. government has commenced investigations into the source of the attack. In addition, the Company is working with internal and external forensic information technology systems experts in connection with this effort. As a result of the investigations and the Company’s efforts, which are ongoing, the Company has learned that certain customer and employee data was compromised at its Bethlehem facility and other data may have been stolen in the attack as well as that the attack may have destroyed certain other Company data. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigations. Based on the preliminary status of the investigations and the absence of claims asserted thus far, management is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of any matters relating to the cyber-attack, the extent of materiality or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

NOTE 11 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

LVSLLC, as the issuer and primary obligor of the 2013 U.S. Credit Facility, VCR, Mall Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, Venetian Transport, LLC, Venetian Marketing, Inc., Lido Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, Lido Casino Resort Holding Company, LLC, Sands Expo & Convention Center, Inc. (formerly Interface Group-Nevada, Inc.), Palazzo Condo Tower, LLC,and Sands Pennsylvania, Inc., Phase II Mall Holding, LLC, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. and LVS Management Services, LLC (collectively, the “Restricted Subsidiaries”), are all guarantors under the Senior Secured2013 U.S. Credit Facility. In March 2013, Phase II Mall Holding, LLC was merged into Lido Casino Resort Holding Company, LLC, which was then merged into Lido Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, which was then merged into VCR. Mall Intermediate Holding Company, LLC was also merged into VCR in March 2013 and Venetian Transport, LLC was merged into LVSLLC in May 2013. The noncontrolling interest amountamounts included in the Restricted Subsidiaries’ condensed consolidating balance sheets isfinancial information are related to non-voting preferred stock of one of the subsidiaries held by third parties.

In February 2008, all of the capital stock of Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC (a subsidiary of VCR) was sold to GGP; however, the sale is not complete from an accounting perspective due to the Company’s continuing involvement in the transaction related to the participation in certain potential future revenues earned by GGP. Certain of the assets, liabilities and operating results related to the ownership and operation of the mall by Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC subsequent to the sale will continue to be accounted for by the Restricted Subsidiaries, and therefore are included in the “Restricted Subsidiaries” columns in the following condensed consolidating financial information. As a result, net liabilities of $26.4$32.2 million (consisting of $242.1$236.4 million of property and equipment, offset by $268.5$268.6 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale) and $17.3$29.3 million (consisting of $250.8$239.3 million of property and equipment, offset by $268.1$268.6 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale) as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2012,2013, respectively, and a net loss (consisting primarily of depreciation expense) of $3.2$3.1 million and $9.6$3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.8 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, related to the mall and are being accounted for by the Restricted Subsidiaries. These balances and amounts are not collateral for the Senior Secured2013 U.S. Credit Facility.

In connection with the refinancing of the prior U.S. senior secured credit facility, there has been a change in the group of subsidiaries that are the Restricted Subsidiaries, to exclude Palazzo Condo Tower, LLC, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. and LVS Management Services, LLC. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified the prior periods to conform to the current presentation of the Restricted Subsidiaries.

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. See “—Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Operations

We view each of our casino properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”) of the People’s Republic of China consist of The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (“The Venetian Macao”); Sands Cotai Central; the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip and the Plaza Casino (collectively, the “Four Seasons Macao”); the Sands Macao; and other ancillary operations in that region (“Other Asia”). Our operating segment in Singapore is the Marina Bay Sands. Our operating segments in the United States consist of The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino (“The Venetian Las Vegas”), The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino (“The Palazzo”) and the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem (the “Sands Bethlehem”).

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, Four Seasons Macao, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price that can be charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem are principally driven by casino customers who visit the properties on a daily basis.

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore:Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups, consistent with the Macao and Singapore markets’ convention: Rolling Chip play (all VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is the sum of markers issued (credit instruments) less markers paid at the table, plus cash deposited in the table drop box. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as the amounts wagered and lost are substantially higher than the amounts dropped. Slot handle (“handle”), also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

Table of Contents

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Based upon our mix of table games, our Rolling Chip win percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) is expected to be 2.7% to 3.0% and our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 28.0%25.7%, 22.1%22.8%, 33.0%25.7%, 20.7%19.0% and 23.6%23.7% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of 5.6%5.4%, 3.8%, 5.3%, 3.9%, 5.5%, 4.0% and 5.1% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 28.8%24.1% and 29.1%29.4%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013.

March 31, 2014.

Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.:The volume measurements in the U.S. are table games drop and slot handle, as previously described. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of handle. Based upon our mix of table games, our table games are expected to produce a win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 20%22% to 22% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties30% for Baccarat and 14% to 16%18% for non-Baccarat. Table games at Sands Bethlehem.Bethlehem have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 16.2%. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of 8.8%8.6% and 7.1%7.0% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and at Sands Bethlehem, respectively. Actual win may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month hold percentage. As in Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Approximately 72.5%71.1% of our table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, for ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, was conducted on a credit basis, while our table games play at Sands Bethlehem is primarily conducted on a cash basis.

Hotel revenue measurements:Performance indicators used are occupancy rate, which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. The calculations of the hotel occupancy and average daily room rates include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Complimentary room rates are determined based on an analysis of retail (or cash) room rates by customer segment and type of room product to ensure the complimentary room rates are consistent with retail rates. Revenue per available room represents a summary of hotel average daily room rates and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, average daily room rates are normally higher than revenue per available room. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit may be re-sold to walk-in guests. These rooms are considered to be occupied twice for statistical purposes due to obtaining the original deposit and the walk-in guest revenue. In cases where a significant number of rooms are resold, occupancy rates may be in excess of 100% and revenue per available room may be higher than the average daily room rate.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area (“GLOA”) divided by gross leasable area (“GLA”) at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space that is currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base, or minimum, rent charge in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

In our experience, average win percentages remain steady when measured over extended periods of time, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances that are associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Room revenues increased $61.2$75.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. The increase is attributable to an increase of $41.9$33.2 million at Sands Cotai Central, due to its progressivethe opening of the second Sheraton tower in January 2013 and an increase in occupancy and average daily room rates. There were also increases of $9.3$14.6 million, $12.5 million and $5.2$10.9 million at Marina Bay Sands and at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, Marina Bay Sands and The Venetian Macao, respectively, which were driven by an increase in average daily room rates. The suites at Sands Macao are primarily provided to casino patrons on a complimentary basis. The following table summarizes the results of our room activity:

Casino expenses increased $389.9$341.3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. Of the increase, $286.7$283.5 million was attributable to the 39.0% gross win tax on increased casino revenues across all ofat our Macao operating properties, as well as a $41.7$61.7 million increase in additional casino expenses at Sands Cotai Central.

Capitalized interest decreased $9.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to the completion of phases IIA and IIB of Sands Cotai Central in September 2012 and January 2013, respectively.

Other Factors Effecting Earnings

Other incomeexpense was $3.2$4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, compared to $2.4$2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. The amounts in both periods were primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains.

The loss on modification or early retirement of debt was $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and was related to the refinancing of our 2011 VML Credit Facility in March 2014 (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Long-term Debt — 2011 VML Credit Facility”).
Our effective income tax rate was 5.3%5.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, compared to 7.0%7.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013, and 2012, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao, which was extendedwill expire in October 2013 through the end of 2018. We have recorded a valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets or a portion thereof are realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowances in the period such determination is made.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $182.6$220.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, compared to $95.2$132.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

As GLA, occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are calculated as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, they are identical to the summary presented herein for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(2)

Phases I and II of The Shoppes at Sands Cotai Central opened in April and September 2012, respectively.

(3)

In November 2012, The Shoppes at Four Seasons expanded the duty-free luxury shops, resulting in approximately 52,000 square feet of additional gross leasable space. Additionally, beginning in August 2013, a significant portion of the rent paid by the duty-free luxury shops was converted from overage rent to base rent in accordance with the respective lease agreements, resulting in an increase in base rent per square foot.

(4)

The decrease in occupancy at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is due to an ongoing repositioning of the mall that will bring in several new key luxury tenants. Approximately 39,000 square feet of gross leasable area is currently undergoing new fit-out and is not considered occupied as of September 30, 2013.

(5)

A progressive opening of The Outlets at Sands Bethlehem began in November 2011. Base rent per square foot for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and tenant sales per square foot for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, are excluded from the table as certain co-tenancy requirements were not met during 2012 as the mall was only partially occupied.

N.M. – Not meaningful

Operating expenses were $7.59 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1.18 billion compared to $6.41 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the progressive opening of Sands Cotai Central that commenced in April 2012.

Casino expenses increased $1.04 billion compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Of the increase, $759.3 million was attributable to the 39.0% gross win tax on increased casino revenues across all of our Macao properties, as well as a $181.3 million increase in additional casino expenses at Sands Cotai Central.

Rooms and food and beverage expenses increased $31.7 million and $36.0 million, respectively, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increases were driven by the associated increases in the related revenues described above.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $182.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $183.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the customers who owe us money from gaming activities at any given time. We believe that the amount of our provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased $232.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $110.7 million increase at Sands Cotai Central, a $59.2 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by a $47.4 million legal settlement expense (see “Part I — Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation”), as well as a $35.4 million increase at The Venetian Macao, driven by an increase in advertising expense.

Corporate expenses decreased $20.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, driven by a decrease in legal fees.

Pre-opening expenses were $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $134.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Pre-opening expense represents personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were primarily related to activities at Sands Cotai Central. Development expenses include the costs associated with the Company’s evaluation and pursuit of new business opportunities, which are also expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $110.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $132.7 million increase at Sands Cotai Central, partially offset by decreases at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and our other Macao operating properties due to certain assets being fully depreciated.

The impairment loss of $143.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consisted primarily of a $100.7 million write-off of capitalized construction costs related to our former Cotai Strip development (referred to as parcels 7 and 8) in Macao and a $42.9 million impairment due to the termination of the ZAiA show at The Venetian Macao.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $707.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $396.4 million increase at Sands Cotai Central, due to its progressive opening that commenced in April 2012, as well as a $256.4 million increase at The Venetian Macao, driven by an increase in casino activity.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $62.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $139.6 million increase in net revenues, driven by an increase in casino revenues, partially offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties decreased $14.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net revenues increased $47.5 million (excluding intersegment royalty revenue), but was offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem increased $6.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $20.0 million increase in net revenues, driven by an increase in casino revenues, partially offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Interest cost decreased $28.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting primarily from a decrease in our weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased $41.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to the completion of phases I, IIA and IIB of Sands Cotai Central in April and September 2012 and January 2013, respectively.

Other Factors Effecting Earnings

Other income was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The amounts in both periods were primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains, partially offset by changes in the fair value of our interest rate cap agreements.

The loss on modification or early retirement of debt of $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was primarily due to a $13.1 million loss related to the refinancing of our Singapore credit facility in June 2012.

Our effective income tax rate was 6.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao, which was extended in October 2013 through the end of 2018. We have recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets or portion thereof are realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowances in the period such determination is made.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $456.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $221.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Additional Information Regarding our Retail Mall Operations

We own and operate retail malls at our integrated resorts at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Cotai Central, Marina Bay Sands and Sands Bethlehem. Management believes that being in the retail mall business and, specifically, owning some of the largest retail properties in Asia will provide meaningful value for us, particularly as the retail market in Asia continues to grow.

Our malls are designed to complement our other unique amenities and service offerings provided by our integrated resorts. Our strategy is to seek out desirable tenants that appeal to our customers and provide a wide variety of shopping options. We generate our mall revenues primarily from leases with tenants through minimum base rents, overage rents, management fees and reimbursements for common area maintenance (“CAM”) and other expenditures.

Phases I and II of The Shoppes at Sands Cotai Central opened in April and September 2012, respectively.

(2)

(1)

Revenues from CAM, levies and management fees are included in minimum rents for The Outlets at Sands Bethlehem.

(3)

(2)Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.

(4)

(3)Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. This property tax exemption expired in August 2013 for The Venetian Macao and we are currently in the process of requesting an extension from the Macao government.

(5)

(4)Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, management fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for (recovery of) doubtful accounts, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.

It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income (“NOI”) as a useful supplemental measure of a mall’s operating performance. In the tables above, we believe that taking total mall revenues less mall- related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.

Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

In the tables above, we believe that taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.
Development Projects

Macao

We submitted plans to the Macao government for The Parisian Macao, an integrated resort that will be connected to The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao. The Parisian Macao, which is currently expected to open in late 2015, is intended to include a gaming area (to be operated under our gaming subconcession), a hotel with over 3,000 rooms and shopping mall.suites and retail,

Table of Contents

entertainment, dining and meeting facilities. We expect the cost to design, develop and construct The Parisian Macao to be approximately $2.7 billion, inclusive of payments made for the land premium. We commenced construction activities and have capitalized costs of $284.6$464.8 million, including the land premium (net of amortization), and $44.1 million in outstanding construction payables, as of September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. In addition, we will be completing the development of some public areas surrounding our Cotai Strip properties on behalf of the Macao government.

As of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we have capitalized an aggregate of $8.78$9.13 billion in construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization) for our Cotai Strip developments, which include The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, Four Seasons Macao and The Parisian Macao, as well as our investments in transportation infrastructure, including our passenger ferry service operations. In addition to funding phases I and II of Sands Cotai Central with borrowings under our $3.7 billion Macao credit facility, we may need to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of our Cotai Strip developments.

Land concessions in Macao generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macao law. We have received land concessions from the Macao government to build on parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6, including the sites on which The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central and Four Seasons Macao are, and The Parisian Macao will be, located. We do not own these land sites in Macao; however, the land concessions grant us exclusive use of the land. As specified in the land concessions, we are required to pay premiums for each parcel, which are either payable in a single lump sum upon acceptance of the land concessions by the Macao government or in seven semi-annual installments, as well as annual rent for the term of the land concessions.

Under our land concession for Sands Cotai Central,The Parisian Macao, we are required to complete the development by May 2014. We will be applying for an extension from the Macao government to complete Sands Cotai Central, as we will be unable to meet the May 2014 deadline.April 2016. The land concession for The Parisian MacaoSands Cotai Central contains a similar requirement, which was extended by the Macao government in July 2012,April 2014, that the development be completed by AprilDecember 2016. Should we determine that we are unable to complete The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central by April 2016,their respective deadlines, we would then also expect to apply for another extension from the Macao government. If we are unable to meet The Parisian Macao deadlinethe current deadlines and the deadlines for either development are not extended, we could lose our land concessions for The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central, or The Parisian Macao, which would prohibit us from operating any facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, we could record a charge for all or some portion of the $4.09$464.8 million or $4.20 billion or $284.6 million in capitalized construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization), as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, related to The Parisian Macao and Sands Cotai Central, and The Parisian Macao, respectively.

United States

We were constructing a high-rise residential condominium tower (the “Las Vegas Condo Tower”), located on the Las Vegas Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. We suspended our construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. We intend to recommence construction when demand and conditions improve. As of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we have capitalized construction costs of $178.8$178.6 million for this project. The impact of the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with certainty. Should demand and conditions fail to improve or management decidedecides to abandon the project, we could record a charge for all or some portion of the $178.8$178.6 million in capitalized construction costs as of September 30, 2013.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. The retail hotel rooms business is generally conducted on a cash basis, the group hotel rooms business is conducted on a cash and credit basis, and banquet business is conducted primarily on a credit basis resulting in operating cash flows being generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable. Net cash generated from operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, increased $988.0$247.1 million compared to the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012.March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in operating cash flows generated from our Macao operations.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, totaled $599.5$251.7 million, including $396.6$210.2 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted primarily of $176.3$95.4 million for The Parisian Macao and $76.1 million for Sands Cotai Central and $133.7 million for The Parisian Macao; $122.9 million in Singapore; $40.8Central; $15.8 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties; $12.7 million in Singapore and $39.2$13.0 million for corporate and other activities. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid SGD 57.0 million (approximately $45.4 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2013) to renew our Singapore gaming license.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $1.81$1.18 billion for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, which was primarily attributable to $1.28 billion$915.1 million in dividend payments repayments of $430.5 million on our 2012 Singapore Credit Facility and $211.2$734.4 million in common stock repurchases.

repurchases, partially offset by proceeds of $500.0 million from our 2013 U.S. Revolving Facility.

As of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we had $938.2 million$1.73 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit and outstanding banker’s guarantees.

Capital Financing Strategy

Overview

Through September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we have funded our development projects primarily through borrowings under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from our equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.

Table of Contents

Our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities contain various financial covenants. The U.S. credit facility, which was amended in December 2013, requires our Las Vegas operations to comply with certaina financial covenantscovenant at the end of each quarter including maintainingto the extent that any revolving loans or certain letters of credit are outstanding. This financial covenant requires our Las Vegas operations to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The maximum leverage ratio is 5.0x5.5x for all quarterly periods through maturity. We can elect to contribute up to $50 million of cash on hand to our Las Vegas operations on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio. Our Macao credit facility, which was amended in March 2014 (See “Item 1 —Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements —Note 3 — Long-term Debt — 2011 VML Credit Facility"), also requires our Macao operations to comply with similar financial covenants commencing with the quarterly period ending June 30, 2014, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013, decreases to 3.5x4.5x for the quarterly periods ending March 31June 30, 2014 through September 30, 2015, decreases to 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2015 through March 31, 2017, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x3.5x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. Our Singapore credit facility requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending DecemberMarch 31 2013 through December 31, 2014, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. As of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, our U.S., Macao and Singapore leverage ratios were 1.0x, 1.2x1.3x and 2.7x,2.8x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 5.0x, 4.0x5.5x and 4.0x,3.5x, respectively. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, we would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under the U.S. credit facility would trigger a cross-default under our airplane financings. Any defaults or cross-defaults under these agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance that we would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force us to restructure or alter our operations or debt obligations.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.21$3.30 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.3$5.9 million as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, of which approximately $2.74$2.73 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.74$2.73 billion, approximately $2.03$2.18 billion is available to be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal taxes owed on such amounts due to the significant foreign taxes we paid, which would ultimately generate U.S. foreign tax credits if cash is repatriated. The remaining unrestricted amounts are not available for repatriation primarily due to dividend requirements to third party public shareholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL. We believe the cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities. We may needelect to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of our Cotai Strip developments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repaid the outstanding balance under our 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility and had net borrowings of $50.0 million under our Senior Secured Extended Revolving Facility. As of September 30, 2013, $1.22 billion of borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is due within the next 12 months. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate our capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof.

In February 2014, we borrowed $500.0 million under our 2013 U.S. Revolving Facility. In March 2014, we amended our 2011 VML Credit Facility, which extended the maturity to March 31, 2020, and provided for revolving loan commitments of $2.0 billion, which will be used to fund the development, construction and completion of Sands Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao, and for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Long-term Debt — 2011 VML Credit Facility”).
On February 28 and June��21, 2013,26, 2014, SCL paid a dividend of 0.670.87 Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) per share and a special dividend of HKD 0.660.77 per share, respectively (a total of $1.38$1.71 billion) to SCL shareholders (of which we retained $970.2 million)$1.20 billion). On March 29, June 28 and September 28, 2013,31 2014, we paid a dividend of $0.35$0.50 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we recorded $866.4$405.8 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which $453.1$215.8 million related to our Principal Stockholder’s family)family and the remaining $190.0 million related to all other shareholders). In October 2013,April 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.35$0.50 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $287$405 million) to be paid on December 31, 2013,June 30, 2014, to shareholders of record on DecemberJune 20, 2013.2014. We intend to increase the quarterlyexpect this level of dividend to $0.50 per common share, beginning incontinue quarterly through the first quarterremainder of 2014.

In June 2013, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, which expires in June 2015, with an initial authorization of $2.0 billion. Repurchases of our common stock are made at our discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws in the open market or otherwise. The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our financial position, earnings, legal requirements, other investment opportunities and market conditions. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we repurchased 5,479,60110,023,353 shares of our common stock for $346.3$810.0 million (including commissions) under this program. All share repurchases of our common stock have been recorded as treasury shares.

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. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt, which we attempt to manage through the use of interest rate cap agreements. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions. Our derivative financial instruments consist exclusively of interest rate cap agreements, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Interest differentials resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expense.

To manage exposure to counterparty credit risk in interest rate cap agreements, we enter into agreements with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. Frequently, these institutions are also members of the bank group providing our credit facilities, which management believes further minimizes the risk of nonperformance.

The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements. The information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which is the Company’s reporting currency, for the twelve months ending September 30:

Borrowings under the U.S. credit facility, as amended, bear interest, at our election, at either an adjusted Eurodollar rate or at an alternative base rate plus a credit spread. The portions of the revolving facility and term loans that were not extendedloan bear interest at the alternative base rate plus 0.25% per annum or 0.5% per annum respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.25% per annum or 1.5% per annum, respectively. The extended revolving facility and extended term loans bear interest at the alternative base rate plus 1.0% per annum or 1.5% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate (term loan is subject to a Eurodollar floor of 0.75%) plus 2.0%1.5% per annum orand 2.5% per annum, respectively. Applicable spreads under the U.S. credit facility are subject to downward adjustments based upon our credit rating. Borrowings under the 2011 VML Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest at either the adjusted Eurodollar rate or HIBOR rate or an alternative base rate, (in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans) or HIBOR (in the case of Hong Kong dollar and Macao pataca denominated loans), as applicable, plus a spread of 1.5%that ranges from 0.25% to 1.125% per annum for loans accruing interest at the base rate and from 1.25% to 2.25%2.125% per annum for loans accruing interest at an adjusted Eurodollar or HIBOR rate. The credit spread is based on a specified consolidated leverage.leverage ratio. Borrowings under the 2012 Singapore Credit Facility bear interest at SOR plus a spread of 1.85% per annum, which spread is subject to a reduction based on a ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Borrowings under the airplane financings bear interest at LIBOR plus approximately 1.5% per annum.

Foreign currency transaction gainslosses for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, were $4.9 million. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate. Based on balances as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of approximately $14.8$13.5 million. We do not hedge our exposure to foreign currencies; however, we maintain a significant amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have obligations thereby reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations.

ITEM 4 —CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Accounting Officer (Principal Financial Officer) have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Company as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, and have concluded that they are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon

51


certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
