Development Projects
Macao
The Company submitted plans to the Macao government for The Parisian Macao (located on parcel 3), 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 the Company’s gaming subconcession), a hotel with over 3,000 rooms and suites and retail, entertainment, dining and meeting facilities. The Company expects the cost to design, develop and construct The Parisian Macao will be approximately $2.7 billion, inclusive of payments made for the land premium. The Company hashad commenced construction activities, but stopped in June 2014, pending receipt of certain government approvals, which management has been informed are scheduled to issue in October 2014. In the meantime, the Company is working to accelerate the permit approval process and, as with projects of this nature, will continue to analyze options for both a full and phased opening of the facility in 2015. The Company has capitalized costs of $464.8$565.9 million, including the land premium (net of amortization) and $44.1$48.5 million in outstanding construction payables, as of March 31,June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company will be completing the development of some public areas surrounding its Cotai Strip properties on behalf of the Macao government.
Under the Company’s land concession for The Parisian Macao, the Company is required to complete the development by April 2016. The land concession for Sands Cotai Central contains a similar requirement, which was extended by the Macao government in April 2014, that the development be completed by December 2016. Should the Company determine that it is unable to complete The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central by their respective deadlines, the Company would expect to apply for another extension from the Macao government. If the Company is unable to meet the current deadlines and the deadlines for either development are not extended, the Company could lose its land concessions for The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central, which

would prohibit the Company from operating any facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, the Company could record a charge for all or some portion of its $464.8$565.9 million or $4.20$4.28 billion in capitalized construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization), as of March 31,June 30, 2014, related to The Parisian Macao and Sands Cotai Central, respectively.
United States
The Company was 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. The Company suspended construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. The Company intends to recommence construction when demand and conditions improve. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the Company has capitalized construction costs of $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 decides to abandon the project, the Company could record a charge for some portion of the $178.6 million in capitalized construction costs as of March 31,June 30, 2014.
 
Other
The Company continues to aggressively pursue new development opportunities globally.
Capital Financing Overview
Through March 31,June 30, 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 Company held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $3.30$3.29 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $5.9$6.3 million as of March 31,June 30, 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 elect to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of its Cotai Strip developments. In the normal course of its activities,

(UNAUDITED)

the Company will continue to evaluate its capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. The Company is no longer evaluating strategic alternatives related to its 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”).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update that amends the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The amendment should be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

10In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on revenue recognition that will be applied to all contracts with customers. The update requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance will be required to be applied on a retrospective basis, using one of two methodologies, and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not being permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The $332.1$330.5 million in other construction in progress as of March 31,June 30, 2014, consists primarily of construction of the Las Vegas Condo Tower and various projects at The Venetian Macao.
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 transaction has not been accounted for as a sale because the Company’s participation in certain potential future revenues constitutes continuing 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 $236.4$233.5 million (net of $75.0$77.8 million of accumulated depreciation) as of March 31,June 30, 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 six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company capitalized interest expense of $1.7$1.5 million, $3.2 million, $0.6 million and $1.8$2.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company capitalized approximately $7.9$6.2 million, $14.1 million, $5.3 million and $5.7$11.0 million, respectively, of internal costs, consisting primarily of compensation expense for individuals directly involved with the development and construction of property.

In addition to the amendment, certain lenders extended the maturity of $2.39 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2011 VML Term Facility to March 31, 2020 (the "Extended 2011 VML Term Facility"), and, together with new lenders, provided $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of revolving loan commitments (the "Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility"). A portion of the revolving proceeds were used to pay down the $819.7 million in aggregate principal balance of the 2011 VML Term Facility loans that were not extended. The Company recorded an $18.0 million loss on modification or early retirement of debt during the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, in connection with the pay down and extension. Borrowings under the Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility will beare being 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. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the Company had $1.18 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility.
Commencing with the quarterly period ending June 30, 2017, and at the end of each subsequent quarter through March 31, 2018, the 2011 VML Credit Facility, as amended, requires the borrower to repay the outstanding Extended 2011 VML Term Facility on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2014 (the “Restatement Date”). Commencing with the quarterly period ending on June 30, 2018, and at the end of each subsequent quarter through March 31, 2019, the borrower is required to repay the outstanding Extended

For the quarterly periods ending on June 30 through December 31, 2019, the borrower is required to repay the outstanding Extended 2011 VML Term Facility on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to 12.0% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding as of the Restatement Date. The remaining balance on the Extended 2011 VML Term Facility is due on the maturity date. The Extended 2011 VML Revolving Facility has no interim amortization payments and matures on March 31, 2020.
Borrowings for all loans bear interest, as amended, bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the adjusted Eurodollar rate or HIBOR rate plus a credit spread or an alternative base rate plus a credit spread, which credit spread in each case is determined based on the maximum leverage ratio as set forth in the credit facility agreement, as amended. The credit spread for the Extended 2011

(UNAUDITED)

VML Term and Revolving Facilities ranges from 0.25% to 1.125% per annum for loans accruing interest at the base rate and from 1.25% to 2.125% per annum for loans accruing interest at an adjusted Eurodollar or HIBOR rate. On the Restatement Date, the credit spread for the Extended 2011 VML Term and Revolving Facilities was 0.375% per annum for loans accruing interest at the base rate and 1.375% per annum for loans accruing interest at the adjusted Eurodollar or HIBOR rate.
Among other amendments, the consolidated capital expenditures covenant was removed and the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA was modified. The maximum leverage ratio, as amended, is 4.5x for the quarterly periods ending June 30, 2014 through September 30, 2015, decreases to 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2015 through March 31, 2017, then decreases to, and remains at, 3.5x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity.

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 offor 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.

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES
The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao and Singapore. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore is performing a compliance review of the Marina Bay Sands tax return for tax years 2010 2011 andthrough 2012. The Company is subject to examination for tax years after 2008 in Macao 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.
The Company does not consider the current year's tax earnings and profits of certain foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested. The Company has not provided deferred taxes for these foreign earnings as the Company expects there will be sufficient creditable foreign taxes to offset the U.S. income tax that would result from the repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company recorded valuation allowances on certain 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 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,May 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with the Macao government, effective through the end of 2013,2018, that providedprovides for an annual payment of 14.442.4 million patacas (approximately $1.8$5.3 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31,June 30, 2014) that wasis a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from Venetian Macau Limited (“VML”) shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits. The Company has requested an additional agreement with the Macao government through 2018 to correspond to the income tax exemption for gaming 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 can be no assurance that the Company will receive the 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

16

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.

Litigation
The Company is involved in other litigation in addition to those noted below, arising in the normal course of business. Management has made certain estimates for potential litigation costs based upon consultation with legal counsel. Actual results could differ from these estimates; however, in the opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
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

Table of Contents

(UNAUDITED)

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, 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 District Court of Clark County entered an order granting plaintiff’s request for certain costs and fees associated with the litigation in the amount of approximately $1.0 million. On December 6, 2013, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the jury verdict with the Nevada Supreme Court. The Company'sCompany filed its opening appellate brief with the Nevada Supreme Court is due to be filed on May 14,June 16, 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 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 March 31,June 30, 2014.

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.

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. On June 25, 2014, the Macao Second Instance Court delivered a decision, which gave formal recognition to and allowed enforcement in Macao of the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals, dismissing AAEC's claims against the U.S. Defendants. Subject to an appeal by AAEC, the U.S. Defendants intend to apply to the Macao First Instance Court to dismiss AAEC's claims in full.

The claim is for $5.0 billion. The Macao action isand this most recently filed action are 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 matterthese matters or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matterthese matters 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.
The Company previously 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, Venetian Marketing, Inc., Sands Expo & Convention Center, Inc. and Sands Pennsylvania, Inc. (collectively, the “Restricted Subsidiaries”), are all guarantors under the 2013 U.S. Credit Facility. The noncontrolling interest amounts included in the Restricted Subsidiaries’ condensed consolidating financial 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 $32.2$35.1 million (consisting of $236.4 million of property and equipment, offset by $268.6 million of liabilities, consisting primarily comprised of deferred proceeds from the sale)sale, partially offset by $233.5 million of property and equipment) and $29.3 million (consisting of $268.6 million of liabilities, primarily comprised of deferred proceeds from the sale, partially offset by $239.3 million of property and equipment, offset by $268.6 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale)equipment) as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and a net loss (consisting primarily of depreciation expense) of $3.1 million and $3.2$6.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, respectively, and $3.2 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, related to the mall and are being accounted for by the Restricted Subsidiaries. These balances and amounts are not collateral for the 2013 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.

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.

36

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 25.7%25.3%, 22.8%22.6%, 25.7%25.1%, 19.0%18.3% and 23.7%24.1% 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 5.4%5.2%, 3.8%3.7%, 5.3%, 3.9%3.8% and 5.1%5.0% 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, 24.1%23.0% and 29.4%31.1%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 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 22% to 30% for Baccarat and 14% to 18% for non-Baccarat. Table games at Sands 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 8.6%8.5% and 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 win and hold percentage.percentages. As in Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Approximately 71.1%69.7% of our table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, for threethe six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, was conducted on a credit basis, while our table games play at Sands Bethlehem iswas 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 $75.2$50.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2013. The increase is attributableprimarily due to an increase of $33.2$25.3 million at Sands Cotai Central, due to the opening of the second Sheraton tower in January 2013 and an increasedriven by increases in occupancy and average daily room rates.

(1)The first, second and secondthird phases of the Shoppes at Cotai Central opened in April and September 2012, and June 2014, respectively. At completion, the Shoppes at Cotai Central will feature up to 600,000 square feet of gross leasable area.
(2)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.
(3) 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 54,000 square feet of gross leasable area is currently undergoing new fit-out and is not considered occupied as of March 31, 2014.
(4) Tenant sales per square foot for the three months ended March 31, 2013, is excluded from the table as certain co-tenancy requirements were not met during 2012 as the mall was only partially occupied.

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 $220.5$181.4 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, compared to $132.0$141.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Casino expenses increased $511.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. Of the increase, $392.1 million was due to the 39.0% gross win tax on increased casino revenues at our Macao operating properties, as well as $124.1 million in additional casino expenses at our Macao operating properties.
The provision for doubtful accounts was $111.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $126.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. 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 $65.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $36.9 million increase at our Macao operating properties and a $22.2 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties.
Corporate expenses decreased $7.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, which was driven by a decrease in legal fees.

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, a new bonus program for non-management employees in Macao was initiated, resulting in a $29.0 million expense being recorded during the period.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $100.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $105.8 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 $30.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a $22.5 million decrease in net revenues (excluding intersegment royalty revenue), driven by a decrease in casino revenues.

Interest cost and interest expense remained relatively consistent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to the comparable weighted average debt balances and weighted average interest rates.
Other Factors Effecting Earnings
Other expense was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to other income of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The amounts in both periods were primarily due to foreign exchange gains and losses.
The loss on modification or early retirement of debt was $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and was related to the refinancing of our 2011 VML Credit Facility in March 31,2014 (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 5.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 7.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 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 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 $402.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $273.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. 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, 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.

____________________
(1)Revenues from CAM, levies and management fees are included in minimum rents for The Outlets at Sands Bethlehem.
(2)Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.
(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 inMacao. In May 2014, the processCompany received an additional six-year property tax exemption for The Venetian Macao. As a result, the Company reversed $2.6 million of requesting an extension frompreviously recognized property taxes during the Macao government.three months ended June 30, 2014.
(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. 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.

Table of Contents

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 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, but stopped in June 2014, pending receipt of certain government approvals, which management has been informed are scheduled to issue in October 2014. In the meantime, we are working to accelerate the permit approval process and, as with projects of this nature, will continue to analyze options for both a full and phased opening of the facility in 2015. We have capitalized costs of $464.8$565.9 million, including the land premium (net of amortization) and $44.1$48.5 million in outstanding construction payables, as of March 31,June 30, 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 March 31,June 30, 2014, we have capitalized an aggregate of $9.13$9.34 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.
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,are 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 The Parisian Macao, we are required to complete the development by April 2016. The land concession for Sands Cotai Central contains a similar requirement, which was extended by the Macao government in April 2014, that the development be completed by December 2016. Should we determine that we are unable to complete The Parisian Macao or Sands Cotai Central by their respective deadlines, we would expect to apply for another extension from the Macao government. If we are unable to meet the 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, 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 $464.8$565.9 million or $4.20$4.28 billion in capitalized construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization), as of March 31,June 30, 2014, related to The Parisian Macao and Sands Cotai Central, 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 March 31,June 30, 2014, we have capitalized construction costs of $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 decides to abandon the project, we could record a charge for some portion of the $178.6 million in capitalized construction costs as of March 31,June 30, 2014.

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 threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, increased $247.1$366.6 million compared to the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 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 threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, totaled $251.7$526.8 million, including $210.2$431.2 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted primarily of $95.4$192.6 million for The Parisian Macao and $76.1$156.7 million for Sands Cotai Central; $15.8$40.3 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties; $12.7$30.7 million in SingaporeSingapore; and $13.0$24.6 million for corporate and other activities.

As of March 31,June 30, 2014, we had $1.73$1.65 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit.
Capital Financing Overview
Through March 31,June 30, 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 a financial covenant at the end of each quarter to 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 5.5x for all quarterly periods through maturity. We can elect to contribute 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 4.5x for the quarterly periods ending June 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, 3.5x 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 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending March 31June 30 through December 31, 2014, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, our U.S., Macao and Singapore leverage ratios were 1.3x1.2x, 1.0x and 2.8x,2.6x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 5.5x, 4.5x and 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 $3.30$3.29 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.9$6.3 million as of March 31,June 30, 2014, of which approximately $2.73$2.68 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.73$2.68 billion, approximately $2.18$2.20 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 elect to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of our Cotai Strip developments. 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 beis being 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”). During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we had net borrowings of $578.0 million under our 2013 U.S. Revolving Facility. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we paid down $748.0 million of the 2013 U.S. Revolving Facility.

On February 26, 2014, SCL paid a dividend of 0.87 Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) per share and a special dividend of HKD 0.77 per share, respectivelyand, on June 30, 2014, paid a dividend of HKD 0.86 per share to SCL shareholders (a total of $1.71 billion) to SCL shareholders (of$2.60 billion, of which we retained $1.20 billion)$1.82 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2014). On March 31 and June 30, 2014, we paid a dividend of $0.50 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, we recorded $405.8$809.1 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which $215.8$431.7 million related to our Principal Stockholder’s family and the remaining $190.0$377.4 million related to all other shareholders). In AprilJuly 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $405 million)$403 million) to be paid on JuneSeptember 30, 2014, to shareholders of record on June 20,September 22, 2014. We expect this level of dividend to continue quarterly through the remainder 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 threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, we repurchased 10,023,35314,203,078 shares of our common stock for $810.0 million$1.13 billion (including commissions) under this program. All share repurchases of our common stock have been recorded as treasury shares.

Aggregate Indebtedness and Other Known Contractual Obligations
As of March 31,June 30, 2014, there had been no material changes to our aggregated indebtedness and other known contractual obligations, which are set forth in the table included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, with the exception of the amendment of our 2011 VML Credit Facility (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Long-term Debt — 2011 VML Credit Facility”) and net borrowings of $500.0$578.0 million under our 2013 U.S. Revolving Facility (which matures in December 2018 with no interim amortization).
Restrictions on Distributions
We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and membership interests of our subsidiaries. The debt instruments of our U.S., Macao and Singapore subsidiaries contain certain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell our assets of our company without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.
Inflation
We believe that inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our sales, revenues or income from continuing operations during the past year.

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.

Table of Contents

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 March 31,June 30, 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 March 31:June 30:

(1)The estimated fair values are based on level 2 inputs (quoted prices in markets that are not active).
(2)Based upon contractual interest rates for fixed rate indebtedness or current LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR for variable-rate indebtedness. Based on variable rate debt levels as of March 31,June 30, 2014, an assumed 100 basis point change in LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR would cause our annual interest cost to change by approximately $89.3$91.5 million.
(3)As of March 31,June 30, 2014, we had 2215 interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.1 million based on quoted market values from the institutions holding the agreements.

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 revolving facility and term loan bear interest at the alternative

base rate plus 0.5% per annum and 1.5% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate (term loan is subject to a Eurodollar floor of 0.75%) plus 1.5% per annum and 2.5% per annum, respectively. 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, as applicable, plus a spread that ranges from 0.25% to 1.125% per annum for loans accruing interest at the base rate and from 1.25% to 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 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 losses for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, were $4.9$2.7 million. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate. Based on balances as of March 31,June 30, 2014, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of approximately $13.5$13.7 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 March 31,June 30, 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

Table of Contents

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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that had, or was reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is party to litigation matters and claims related to its operations. For more information, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and “Part I — Item 1 —Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changesThe only change from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.2013 is set forth below.
The smoking control legislation in Macao could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently, the Macao government approved smoking control legislation, which prohibits smoking in casinos starting on October 6, 2014. The legislation, however, permits casinos to maintain designated smoking areas of up to 50% of the areas opened to the public, so long as such areas are within restricted access areas and comply with the conditions set out in the Dispatch of the Chief Executive, dated November 1, 2012, as amended by the Dispatch of the Chief Executive, dated June 3, 2014. The implementation of such legislation may deter potential gaming customers who are smokers from frequenting casinos in jurisdictions with smoking bans such as Macao. Such laws and regulations could change or could be interpreted differently in the future. We cannot predict the future likelihood or outcome of similar legislation or referendums in other jurisdictions where we operate or the magnitude of any decrease in revenues as a result of such regulations, though any smoking ban could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
