In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "LVS."

Capital Financing Overview

The Company funds its development projects primarily through borrowings under its credit facilities and operating cash flows.

~~The~~As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $2.64 billion and $2.43 billion, respectively, which consisted of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of ~~$2.0~~$2.63 billion and $2.42 billion, respectively, and restricted cash of $12 million and $11 million, respectively. Restricted cash represents those amounts contractually reserved for substantial mall-related repairs and maintenance expenditures. Cash equivalents, which are short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days, had an estimated fair value of $1.05 billion as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The estimated fair value of the Company's cash equivalents ~~of $11 million as of September 30, 2017.~~is based on level 1 inputs (quoted market prices in active markets). 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. In the normal course of its activities, the Company will continue to evaluate its capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof.

In March ~~2017,~~2018, the Company ~~entered into~~amended its Singapore credit facility, which refinanced the term loans in an ~~agreement~~aggregate amount of 4.80 billion Singapore dollars ("SGD," approximately $3.66 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2018), extended the maturities of the term loans and revolving loans to ~~amend~~March 29, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively, and amended the amortization schedule and the leverage covenant to provide that the leverage ratio not exceed 4.0x for all quarterly periods through maturity (see "— Note 4 — Long-Term Debt — 2012 Singapore Credit Facility"). In March 2018, the Company also amended its U.S. credit facility, which refinanced the term loans in an aggregate amount of ~~$2.18~~$2.16 billion, extended the maturity of the term loans to March ~~29, 2024, removed the requirement to prepay outstanding revolving loans and/or permanently reduce revolving commitments in certain circumstances~~27, 2025, and ~~lowered~~reduced the applicable margin credit spread for borrowings under the term loans (see "— Note 34 — Long-Term Debt — 2013 U.S. Credit Facility").

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards ~~Boards~~Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update (as subsequently amended) on revenue recognition ~~that will be applied~~applicable 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 to receive 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, 2017. The~~ Company ~~plans to adopt~~adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018, on a full retrospective ~~basis.~~basis (see disclosures at "— Note 2 — Revenue").

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on leases, which requires all lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, at the lease commencement date. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged under the new guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach must be applied for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company expects to adopt this guidance beginning January 1, 2019, and continues to assess the impact the ~~new standard~~guidance will have on ~~the Company's~~its financial condition and results of ~~operations, cash flows~~operations. The primary effect of this update is expected to increase assets and ~~related disclosures. Upon adoption, management expects~~liabilities on the standard to change the presentation of, and accounting for, complimentary revenues and promotional allowances currently presented in the statements of operations in accordance with current industry standards. It is anticipated a majority of total promotional allowances will be netted against casino revenue and expenses will be allocated among the respective categories in a different manner. Management also anticipates a change in the manner the Company assigns value to accrued customer benefits related to its frequent players programs. The resulting liability will be recorded using the retail value of such benefits less estimated breakage and will be offset against casino revenue. When the benefits are redeemed, revenue will be recognized in the resulting category of the goods or services provided.balance sheet. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material ~~impact~~effect on net income.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect the guidance will have on the Company's financial condition, or results of ~~operations.~~operations and cash flows.

In ~~March~~August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to ~~simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including~~reduce the ~~income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification~~diversity on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash ~~flows~~flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, and electing an accounting policy to either estimate the number of forfeitures or account for forfeitures when they occur. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017, and as a result, excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to the exercise or vesting of share-based awards are now reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of income tax expense, whereas previously they were recognized in stockholders' equity when realized. As a result of the prior guidance that required that deferred tax assets are not recognized for net operating loss carryforwards or credit carryforwards resulting from windfall tax benefits, the Company had windfall tax benefits of $379 million as of December 31, 2016, that were not reflected in deferred tax assets. With the adoption of the new accounting standard, the Company recorded these deferred tax assets, but established a full valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets based on the determination that it was "more-likely-than-not" that those deferred tax assets would not be realized. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on a retrospective basis. The reclassification of the prior period had an immaterial impact on the Company's cash flows from operating and financing activities. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than account for forfeitures based upon an estimated rate. This change in accounting policy was adopted on a modified retrospective basis and resulted in a $2 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

should be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018. The adoption did not have a material effect on the presentation of cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to reduce the diversity on how changes in restricted cash are presented and classified on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, and should be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018. The adoption did not have a material effect on the presentation of its statement of cash flows.

Note 2 — Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers primarily consists of casino wagers, room sales, food and beverage transactions, rental income from the Company’s mall tenants, convention sales and entertainment and ferry ticket sales. These contracts can be written, oral or implied by customary business practices.

Gross casino revenue is the aggregate of gaming wins and losses. The commissions rebated to junket operators and premium players for rolling play, cash discounts and other cash incentives to patrons related to gaming play are recorded as a reduction to gross casino revenue. Gaming contracts include a performance obligation to honor the patron’s wager and typically include a performance obligation to provide a product or service to the patron on a complimentary basis to incentivize gaming or in exchange for points earned under the Company’s loyalty program.

For wagering contracts that include complimentary products and services provided by the Company to incentivize gaming, the Company allocates the stand-alone selling price of each product and service to the respective revenue type. Complimentary products or services provided under the Company's control and discretion, which are supplied by third parties, are recorded as an operating expense.

For wagering contracts that include products and services provided to a patron in exchange for points earned under the Company’s loyalty program, the Company allocates the estimated stand-alone selling price of the points earned to the loyalty program liability. The loyalty program liability is a deferral of revenue until redemption occurs. Upon redemption of loyalty program points for Company-owned products and services, the stand-alone selling price of each product or service is allocated to the respective revenue type. For redemptions of points with third parties, the redemption amount is deducted from the loyalty program liability and paid directly to the third party. Any discounts received by the Company from the third party in connection with this transaction are recorded to other revenue.

After allocation to the other revenue types for products and services provided to patrons as part of a wagering contract, the residual amount is recorded to casino revenue as soon as the wager is settled. As all wagers have similar characteristics, the Company accounts for its gaming contracts collectively on a portfolio basis versus an individual basis.

Hotel revenue recognition criteria are met at the time of occupancy. Food and beverage revenue recognition criteria are met at the time of service. Convention revenues are recognized when the related service is rendered or the event is held. Deposits for future hotel occupancy, convention space or food and beverage services contracts are recorded as deferred income until the revenue recognition criteria are met. Revenue from contracts with a combination of these services is allocated pro rata based on each service’s stand-alone selling price. Cancellation fees for hotel, meeting space and food and beverage services are recognized upon cancellation by the customer and are included in other revenues. Ferry and entertainment revenue recognition criteria are met at the completion of the ferry trip or event, respectively.

Contract and Contract Related Liabilities

The Company provides numerous products and services to its customers. There is often a timing difference between the cash payment by the customers and recognition of revenue for each of the associated performance obligations. The Company has the following main types of liabilities associated with contracts with customers: (1) outstanding chip liability, (2) loyalty program liabilities, and (3) customer deposits and other deferred revenue for gaming and non-gaming products and services yet to be provided.

The outstanding chip liability represents the collective amounts owed to junkets and patrons in exchange for gaming chips in their possession. Outstanding chips are expected to be recognized as revenue or redeemed for cash within one year of being purchased. The loyalty program liabilities represent a deferral of revenue until patron redemption of points earned. The loyalty program points are expected to be redeemed and recognized as revenue within one year of being earned. The customer deposits and other deferred revenue represent cash deposits made by customers for future services provided by the Company. With the exception of mall deposits, which are tied to the terms of the lease and typically extend beyond a year, the majority of these customer deposits and other deferred revenue are expected to be recognized as revenue or refunded to the customer within one year of the date the deposit was recorded.

The following table summarizes the liability activity related to contracts with customers:



	Outstanding Chip Liability				Loyalty Program				Customer Deposits and Other Deferred Revenue⁽¹⁾

____________________


(1)	Of this amount, $147 million and $135 million as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, relates to mall deposits that are accounted for based on lease terms usually greater than one year.

Significant Impacts of Adoption

The adoption of the change in accounting standards related to revenue from contracts with customers resulted in the following significant impacts: (1) promotional allowances line item was eliminated from the condensed consolidated statement of operations with the amount being deducted from casino revenue, (2) the valuation of points associated with the Company’s loyalty programs was changed from cost to fair value; the loyalty program expense, previously charged to casino expense, was deducted from casino revenue to defer revenue recognition until redemption of the loyalty program points occurs; and redemption of the loyalty program points at third parties is now deducted from the loyalty program liability and paid directly to the third party, with any discounts received from the third party recorded to other revenue, and (3) the portion of junket commissions that was previously recorded to casino expense is now deducted from casino revenue. These adjustments resulted in a decrease to net revenues and operating expenses of $39 million and $40 million, respectively, and an increase in operating income of $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The cumulative effect of the adoption was recognized as a decrease in retained earnings of $8 million on January 1, 2017.

The $408 million in other construction in progress as of September 30, 2017, consists primarily of construction of a high-rise residential condominium tower (the "Las Vegas Condo Tower") and various projects at The Venetian Macao.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018 and 2017, ~~and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,~~ the Company capitalized ~~$1 million, $12 million and $33 million, respectively,~~a nominal amount of interest expense. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018 and 2017, ~~and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,~~ the Company capitalized approximately ~~$6 million, $18 million, $8~~$5 million and ~~$22~~$7 million, respectively, of internal costs, consisting primarily of compensation expense for individuals directly involved with the development and construction of property.

During the ~~three months~~year ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2017, the Company completed an evaluation of the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment. The timing of this review was based on a combination of factors accumulating over time that provided the Company with updated information to make a better estimate on the economic lives of certain propertyequipment and equipment. These factors included (1) the accumulation of historical asset replacement data at the Company's operating properties, which reflects the actual length of time the Company uses certain property and equipment, (2) the stabilization of the operating, regulatory and competitive environment in each jurisdiction the Company operates in, which includes meeting the final land concession government imposed deadlines for the Company's Macao properties on the Cotai Strip, (3) transitioning to more predictable renovation cycles at the Company's operating properties and (4) consideration of the estimated useful lives assigned to buildings of the Company's peers in the gaming and hospitality industry. Based on these factors, as well as the anticipated use and condition of the assets

~~evaluated, the Company~~ determined that changes to the useful lives of certain property and equipment were appropriate. As a result, the Company revised the estimated useful lives of its buildings, building improvements and land improvements from a range of 15 to 40 years to 10 to 50 years and certain other furniture, fixtures and equipment from 3 to 6 years to 5 to 10 years to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets are expected to remain in service.

This change in estimated useful lives was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effective July 1, 2017. The impact of this change for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, was a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense and an increase in operating income of ~~$51~~$64 million, and an increase in net income of $46 million, or earnings per share of $0.06 on a basic and diluted basis.

2013 U.S. Credit Facility

During March ~~2017,~~2018, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") to amend the existing 2013 U.S. Credit Facility to, among other things, refinance the term loans (by way of continuing or replacing existing term loans) in an aggregate amount of ~~$2.18~~$2.16 billion ~~(the "2013 Extended U.S. Term B Facility")~~ and to lower the applicable margin credit spread for adjusted Eurodollar rate term loans from ~~2.25%~~2.0% to ~~2.00%~~1.75% per annum and for alternative base rate term loans from ~~1.25%~~1.0% to ~~1.00%~~0.75% per annum (the interest rate was set at ~~3.2%~~3.6% as of ~~September 30, 2017)~~March 31, 2018).

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

As of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted solely of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 56 — ~~Fair Value Measurements~~Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate was (54.6)% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 10.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, would have been 9.5% without the discrete benefit of $670 million, as discussed further below. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on the Company's Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate for its domestic operations and a zero percent tax rate on its Macao gaming operations due to the Company's income tax exemption in Macao, effective through the end of 2018.

In December 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"). The Company ~~currently uses foreign currency forward contracts as effective economic hedges~~recorded a discrete benefit of $526 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to ~~manage a portion~~the reduction of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets previously determined not likely to be utilized and also the revaluation of its ~~foreign currency exposure. Foreign currency forward contracts involve~~U.S. deferred tax liabilities at the ~~purchase and sale~~reduced corporate income tax rate of 21%. This discrete benefit was the provisional impact of enactment of the Act subject to Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118, which provides for a ~~designated currency at an agreed upon rate for settlement on~~12-month remeasurement period to complete the accounting required under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740.

The Act made significant changes to U.S. income tax laws, including transitioning from a ~~specified date. The aggregate notional value~~worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. This change in the U.S. international tax system included the introduction of ~~these foreign currency contracts was $144 million and $427 million~~several new tax regimes that are effective as of ~~September 30, 2017~~January 1, 2018. One of the new taxes introduced is the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), which effectively taxes the foreign earnings of U.S. multinational companies at 10.5%, half of the current corporate tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company concluded how the foreign tax credits associated with this income, and allowed against the U.S. tax liability, would be utilized and the potential impact on the foreign tax credit deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance. As a result, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $670 million relating to the reduction of the valuation allowance on certain U.S. foreign tax credit assets generated prior to 2018 that were previously determined not likely to be utilized.

While management believes the provisional amounts recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, ~~2016, respectively. As~~2017 represent reasonable estimates of the ultimate impact U.S. tax reform will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements, it is possible the Company may continue to materially adjust these ~~derivatives~~amounts for related administrative guidance, notices, implementation regulations, potential legislative amendments and interpretations as the Act continues to evolve. These adjustments could have ~~not been designated and/or do not qualify for hedge accounting,~~an impact on the ~~changes in fair value are recognized as other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.~~

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 and has accrued a nominal amount for such costs as of ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018.

Round Square Company Limited v. Las Vegas Sands Corp.

On October 15, 2004, Richard Suen and Round Square Company Limited ("Roundsquare") 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"), asserting a breach of an alleged agreement to pay a success fee of $5 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 $44 million. On June 30, 2008, a judgment was entered in this matter in the amount of $59 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 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. On February 27, 2012, the District Court 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 granted both requests. The retrial began on March 27 and on May 14, 2013, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Roundsquare in the amount of $70 million. On May 28, 2013, a judgment was entered in the matter in the amount of $102 million (including pre-judgment interest). On June 7, 2013, the Company filed a motion with the District Court 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 denied the Company's motion. On October 17, 2013, the District Court entered an order granting plaintiff's request for certain costs and fees associated with the litigation in the amount of approximately $1 million. On December 6, 2013, the Company filed a notice of appeal of the jury verdict with the Nevada Supreme Court. The Company filed its opening appellate brief with the Nevada Supreme Court on June 16, 2014. On August 19, 2014, the Nevada Supreme Court issued an order granting plaintiffs additional time until September 15, 2014, to file their answering brief. On September 15, 2014, Roundsquare filed a request to the Nevada Supreme Court to file a brief exceeding the maximum number of words, which was granted. On October 10, 2014, Roundsquare filed its answering brief. On January 12, 2015, the defendants filed their reply brief. On January 27, 2015, Roundsquare filed its reply brief. The Nevada Supreme Court set oral argument for December 17, 2015, before a panel of justices only to reset it for January 26, 2016, en banc. Oral arguments were presented to the Nevada Supreme Court as scheduled. On March 11, 2016, the Nevada Supreme Court issued an order affirming the judgment of liability, but reversing the damages award and remanding for a new trial on damages. On March 29, 2016, Roundsquare filed a petition for

rehearing. The Nevada Supreme Court ordered an answer by the Company, which the Company filed on May 4, 2016. On May 12, 2016, Roundsquare filed a motion for leave to file a reply brief in support of its petition for rehearing, and on May 19, 2016, the Company filed an opposition to that motion. On June 24, 2016, the Nevada Supreme Court issued an order granting Roundsquare's petition for rehearing and submitting the appeal for decision on rehearing without further briefing or oral argument. On July 22, 2016, the Nevada Supreme Court once again ordered a new trial as to plaintiff Roundsquare on the issue of quantum merit damages. A pre-trial hearing was set in District Court for December 12, 2016. At the December 12, 2016 hearing, the District Court indicated ~~that~~ it would allow a scope of trial and additional discovery into areas the Company opposed as inconsistent with the Nevada Supreme Court's remand. The District Court issued a written order on the scope of retrial and discovery dated December 15, 2016. On January 5, 2017, the Company

Frank J. Fosbre, Jr. v. Las Vegas Sands Corp., Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner

On May 24, 2010, Frank J. Fosbre, Jr. 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 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 U.S. District Court's order dated August 24, 2011, striking additional portions of the plaintiffs' complaint and reducing the class period to a period of February 4 to November 6, 2008. On August 7, 2012, the plaintiffs 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 was 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 resumed. On January 8, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion to expand the certified class period, which was granted by the U.S. District Court on June 15, 2015. Fact discovery closed on July 31, 2015, and expert discovery closed on December 18, 2015. On January 22, 2016, defendants filed motions for summary judgment.

Benyamin Kohanim v. Adelson, et al.

On March 9, 2011, Benyamin Kohanim filed a shareholder derivative action (the "Kohanim action") on behalf of the Company in the District Court 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 alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties in failing to properly implement, oversee and maintain internal controls to ensure compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices ~~Act.~~Act ("FCPA"). The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including restitution and disgorgement of profits, and also seeks to recover attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff. On April 18, 2011, Ira J. 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 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 District 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 District Court denied the motion to dismiss in part, deferred the remainder of the motion to dismiss and stayed the proceedings until July 22, 2013. The District Court granted several successive stays since that time, but lifted the stay on April 25, 2017, following an in-chambers status check.

2012, the case was transferred to a new judge. On August 27, 2012, the U.S. District Court granted the motion to stay pending a further update of the Special Litigation Committee due on October 30, 2012. On October 30, 2012, the defendants filed the update asking the judge to determine whether to continue the stay until January 31, 2013, or to address motions to dismiss. On November 7, 2012, the U.S. District Court denied defendants request for an extension of the stay but asked the parties to brief the motion to dismiss. On November 21, 2012, defendants filed their motion to dismiss. On December 21, 2012, plaintiffs filed their opposition, and on January 18, 2013, defendants filed their reply. On May 31, 2013, the case was reassigned to a new judge. On April 11, 2014, the judge denied the motion to dismiss without prejudice and ordered the case stayed pending the outcome of the District Court action in Kohanim described above. ~~Pursuant~~After the Kohanim case was dismissed with prejudice at plaintiff's request and not appealed, the defendants, on April 11, 2018, filed simultaneous motions seeking to ~~a series of court orders, the parties have filed a number of status reports during the pendency of~~lift the stay ~~including most recently on June 16, 2017.This~~and to dismiss this federal consolidated derivative case.

Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited v. Venetian Macau Limited, et al.

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 VCR (collectively, the "Defendants"). The claim is for 3.0 billion patacas (approximately ~~$373~~$371 million at exchange rates in effect on ~~September 30, 2017)~~March 31, 2018) as compensation for damages resulting from the alleged breach of agreements entered into between AAEC and LVS (Nevada), LVSLLC and VCR (collectively, the "U.S. 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 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 U.S. Defendants.

On March 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 U.S. Defendants. On May 8, 2014, AAEC lodged an appeal against that decision. 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 U.S. Defendants at the present time, although in principle an application for a stay of the proceedings against the 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.

AAEC appealed against the recognition decision to the Macao Court of Final Appeal, which, on May 6, 2015, dismissed the appeal and held the U.S. judgment to be final and have preclusive effect. The Macao Court of Final Appeal's decision became final on May 21, 2015. On June 5, 2015, the U.S. Defendants applied to the Macao Judicial

~~LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

Court to dismiss the claims against them as res judicata. AAEC filed its response to that application on June 30, 2015. The U.S. Defendants filed their reply on July 23, 2015. On September 14, 2015, the Macao Judicial Court admitted two further legal opinions from Portuguese and U.S. law experts. On March 16, 2016, the Macao Judicial Court dismissed the defense of res judicata. An appeal against that decision was lodged on April 7, 2016, together with a request that the appeal be heard immediately. By a decision dated April 13, 2016, the Macao Judicial Court accepted that the appeal be heard immediately. Legal arguments were submitted May 23, 2016. AAEC replied to the legal arguments on or about July 14, 2016, which was three days late, upon payment of a penalty. The U.S. Defendants submitted a response on September 20, 2016. On December 13, 2016, the Macao Judicial Court confirmed its earlier decision not to stay the proceedings pending appeal. As of the end of December 2016, all appeals (including VML's dismissal and the res judicata appeals) were being transferred to the Macao Second Instance Court. On May 11, 2017, the Macao Second

Instance Court notified the parties of its decision of refusal to deal with the appeals at the present time. The Macao Second Instance Court ordered ~~that~~ the court file be transferred back to the Macao Judicial Court. Evidence gathering by the Macao Judicial Court has commenced by letters rogatory. On June 30, 2017, the Macao Judicial Court sent letters rogatory to the Public Prosecutor's office, for onward transmission to relevant authorities in the U.S. and Hong Kong. On August 10, 2017, the Hong Kong Mutual Legal Assistance Unit, International Law Division, Hong Kong Department of Justice ("HKMLAU") responded to the Public Prosecutor and requested additional information. On August 18, 2017, the Public Prosecutor forwarded the HKMLAU request to the Macao Judicial Court. On November 14, 2017, the Public Prosecutor replied to the HKMLAU. The HKMLAU sent a further communication to the Public Prosecutor on November 29, 2017, again requesting the Macao Judicial Court provide further information to enable processing of the Hong Kong letter rogatory. On January 6, 2018, the Macao Judicial Court notified the parties accordingly. On February 10, 2018, the Macao Judicial Court notified the parties that a communication dated January 25, 2018, had been received from the U.S. Department of Justice. The Macao Judicial Court has extended the time for processing the letters rogatory until the end of June 2018.

On March 25, 2015, application was made by the U.S. Defendants to the Macao Judicial Court to revoke the legal aid granted to AAEC, accompanied by a request for evidence taking from AAEC, relating to the fees and expenses that they incurred and paid in the U.S. subsequent action referred to below. The Macao Public Prosecutor has opposed the action on the ground of lack of evidence that AAEC's financial position has improved. No decision has been issued in respect to that application up to the present time. A complaint against AAEC's Macao lawyer arising from certain conduct in relation to recent U.S. proceedings was submitted to the Macao Lawyer's Association on October 19, 2015. A letter dated February 26, 2016, has been received from the Conselho Superior de Advocacia of the Macao Bar Association advising that disciplinary proceedings have commenced. A further letter dated April 5, 2016, was received from the Conselho Superior de Advocacia requesting confirmation that the signatories of the complaint were acting within their corporate authority. ByIn a letter dated April 14, 2016, such confirmation ~~has been~~was provided. On September 28, 2016, the Conselho Superior de Advocacia invited comments on the defense, which had been lodged by AAEC's Macao lawyer.

On July 9, 2014, the plaintiff filed another action in the U.S. District Court against LVSC, LVSLLC, VCR (collectively, the "LVSC entities"), Sheldon G. Adelson, William P. Weidner, David Friedman and Does 1-50 for declaratory judgment, equitable accounting, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of confidence and conversion based on a theory of copyright law. The claim is for $5.0 billion. On November 4, 2014, plaintiff finally effected notice on the LVSC entities, which was followed by a motion to dismiss by the LVSC entities on November 10, 2014. Plaintiff failed to timely respond, and on December 2, 2014, the LVSC entities moved for immediate dismissal and sanctions against plaintiff and his counsel for bringing a frivolous lawsuit. On December 19, 2014, plaintiff filed an incomplete and untimely response, which was followed by plaintiff's December 27, 2014 notice of withdrawal of the lawsuit and the LVSC entities' December 29, 2014, reply in favor of sanctions and dismissal with prejudice. On August 31, 2015, the judge dismissed the U.S. action and the LVSC entities' sanctions motion. 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.

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

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

Generally, we view each of our integrated resort 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; Sands Cotai Central; The Parisian ~~Macao, which opened on September 13, 2016;~~Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is the Marina Bay Sands. Our operating segments in the U.S. consist of the Las Vegas Operating Properties, which includes The Venetian Las Vegas, The Palazzo and the Sands Expo ~~Center;~~Center, and the Sands Bethlehem.

On March 8, 2018, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement under which PCI Gaming Authority, an unincorporated, chartered instrumentality of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, will acquire the Sands Bethlehem property in Pennsylvania for a total enterprise value of $1.30 billion. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory review and other closing conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We believe these critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" presented in our ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February ~~24, 2017.~~23, 2018.

With the exception of the change in the useful lives of certain property and equipment (see "Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Property and Equipment, Net"), thereThere were no newly identified significant accounting estimates during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report.

Operating Results

Revenue Recognition

We adopted the new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018, on a full retrospective basis. Revenue from contracts with customers primarily consists of casino wagers, room sales, food and beverage transactions, rental income from our mall tenants, convention sales and entertainment and ferry ticket sales. These contracts can be written, oral or implied by customary business practices.

When a patron earns points under our loyalty program, the estimated stand-alone selling price of the points earned is deferred until redemption. Once redeemed, revenue is recognized in its respective revenue type. Similarly, revenue is also allocated to its respective revenue type for complimentaries provided at management's discretion. After the aforementioned allocations, the residual amount is recorded to casino revenue.

Revenue from leases is primarily recorded to mall revenue and is generated from base rents and overage rents received through long-term leases with retail tenants. Base rent, adjusted for contractual escalations, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Overage rent is paid by a tenant when its sales exceed an agreed upon minimum amount and is not recognized until the threshold is met.

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel 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: Rolling Chip play (composed of 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 net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes andgaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle ("handle"), also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) 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. ~~Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2017, we revised the expected range for our Macao operations due to the Rolling Chip win percentage experience over the last several years.~~ Our Rolling Chip win percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) is expected to be 3.0% to 3.3% in Macao and 2.7% to 3.0% in Singapore, and our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 24.7%, ~~20.1%~~21.1%, ~~19.3%~~20.2%, ~~21.8%~~23.1%, ~~19.4%~~18.6% and ~~28.5%~~19.3% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. As of January 1, 2018, Non-Rolling Chip drop at Marina Bay Sands includes chips purchased and exchanged at the cage, consistent with our Macao properties. Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to the current presentation. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of ~~5.0%~~5.2%, ~~3.9%~~4.1%, ~~3.7%~~3.0%, ~~7.1%~~7.2%, ~~3.4%~~3.3% and 4.4% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win percentage 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, ~~14.9%~~14.6% and ~~34.9%~~27.7%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018.

Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: The volume measurements in the U.S. are slot handle, as previously described, and table games drop, which is the total amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in the table drop box. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of handle. ~~Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2017, we revised the expected range for our Las Vegas Operating Properties due to the win percentage experienced over the last several years.~~ Based upon our mix of table games, our table games are expected to produce a win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 18% to 26% for Baccarat and 16% to 24% for non-Baccarat. Table games at Sands Bethlehem have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of ~~20.0%~~19.6%. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of ~~8.0%~~8.6% and ~~6.6%~~6.5% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and at Sands Bethlehem, respectively. Actual win percentage may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Similar to Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Approximately ~~59.2%~~66.7% of our table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, was conducted on a credit basis, while our table games play in Pennsylvania is primarily conducted on a cash basis.

Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period and average daily room rate ("ADR," a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements. The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR 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 type of customer and room product to ensure the complimentary room rates are consistent with retail rates. Revenue per available room ("RevPAR") represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be resold 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 RevPAR may be higher than the ADR.

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.

Consolidated net revenues were ~~$3.20~~$3.58 billion for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, an increase of ~~$230~~$512 million compared to ~~$2.97~~$3.07 billion for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily ~~due to~~driven by increases of ~~$349~~$310 million at ~~The Parisian~~our Macao ~~which opened in September 2016,~~operating properties and ~~$31~~$182 million at Marina Bay Sands, primarily due to increased casino ~~revenues, partially offset by a $137 million decrease at our Macao properties (excluding The Parisian Macao), driven by decreased casino~~ revenues.

Casino revenues increased ~~$204~~$442 million compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. The increase ~~was due~~is primarily attributable to increases of ~~$321~~$270 million at ~~The Parisian~~our Macao operating properties, primarily driven by an increase in Non-Rolling Chip drop, and ~~$37~~$161 million at Marina Bay Sands, driven ~~primarily~~ by an increase ~~in Rolling Chip volume. This increase was partially offset by a $145 million decrease at our Macao properties (excluding The Parisian Macao), driven primarily by a decrease~~ in Rolling Chip win percentage.

____________________


(1)	As of January 1, 2018, Non-Rolling Chip drop includes chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to the current period presentation.

In our experience, average win percentages remain fairly consistent when measured over extended periods of time with a significant volume of wagers, 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 $9$47 million compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to ~~a $29~~increases of $17 million ~~increase~~and $15 million at Sands Cotai Central and The ~~Parisian~~Venetian Macao, ~~partially offset by a $16 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands,~~respectively, driven by ~~a decrease~~increases in occupancy and ADR. During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, there were approximately ~~8%, 7%, 6% and 3% fewer~~24% more rooms available at ~~The Venetian Macao, Marina Bay Sands,~~ The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao ~~and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively,~~ compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017.

Note:	This table excludes the results of our mall operations at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem.


(1)	The Shoppes at Cotai Central will feature up to approximately 600,000 square feet of gross leasable area upon completion of all phases of Sands Cotai Central's renovation, rebranding and expansion to The Londoner Macao.


(2)	The Shoppes at Parisian opened in September 2016.

Convention, retail and other revenues decreased $13 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily driven by decreases of $6 million in entertainment revenues at The Venetian Macao, $4 million in convention revenues at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and $3 million in our passenger ferry service operations in Macao.

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.

Adjusted Property EBITDA

The following table summarizes information related to our segments (see "Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 7 — Segment Information" for discussion of our operating segments and a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to net income). Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is net income before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes consolidated

adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of its operations with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, integrated resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, ~~and~~ debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Interest cost increased $8$11 million compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, resulting primarily from an increase in our weighted average interest rate. ~~Capitalized interest decreased $10 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the opening of The Parisian Macao in September 2016.~~

Other Factors ~~Effecting~~Affecting Earnings

Other expense was ~~$19~~$26 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, compared to ~~other income of $21~~$36 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. Other expense during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, was primarily attributable to ~~a depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the Singapore dollar during the period. This resulted in $19~~$26 million of foreign currency transaction losses, driven by Singapore dollar denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars. These losses resulted from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the Singapore dollar during the period.

Our effective income tax rate was ~~9.6%~~(54.6)% for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, compared to ~~10.2%~~10.6% for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016. The decrease in the~~March 31, 2017. Our effective income tax rate ~~relates primarily to the valuation allowances recorded during~~for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2018, would have been 9.5% without the discrete benefit of $670 million recorded due to the impact of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Act"). The discrete tax benefit relates to the reduction of the valuation allowance recorded on certain U.S. foreign tax credit assets as we determined ~~that certain deferred tax~~these assets were ~~no longer "more-likely than-not" realizable.~~ realizable due to concluding how the foreign tax credits associated with this income, and allowed against the U.S. tax liability, would be utilized.

The effective income tax ~~rates reflect~~rate for the first quarter of 2018 reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations, a 21% corporate income tax rate on our U.S. operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao, effective through the end of 2018. We have recorded a valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets previously generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of ~~these~~our operations improve or we determine related administrative guidance, notices, implementation regulations, potential legislative amendments and interpretations of the Act require changes to positions we have taken and it becomes ~~"more-likely-than-not" that~~“more-likely-than-not” these deferred tax assets, or a portion thereof, are realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowances in the period such determination is made, as appropriate.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was ~~$115~~$160 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, compared to ~~$93~~$98 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of Sands China Ltd. ("SCL").

Consolidated net revenues were $9.45 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $1.11 billion compared to $8.34 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increases of $1.03 billion at The Parisian Macao, which opened in September 2016, and $253 million at Marina Bay Sands, primarily due to increased casino revenues.

Casino revenues increased $973 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due to increases of $922 million at The Parisian Macao and $267 million at Marina Bay Sands, driven by increases in Rolling Chip win percentage and volume, partially offset by a $154 million decrease at Sands Cotai Central, driven by a decrease in Non-Rolling Chip drop, as well as decreases in Rolling Chip win percentage and volume.

Room revenues increased $71 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to a $90 million increase at The Parisian Macao, partially offset by a $14 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, driven by a decrease in available rooms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were approximately 16%, 12%, 6% and 2% fewer rooms available at The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, The Venetian Macao, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, respectively, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Mall revenues increased $54 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increases of $45 million at the Shoppes at Parisian and $9 million at the Shoppes at Venetian, driven by an increase in base rents.

Operating expenses were $7.01 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $500 million compared to $6.51 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in operating expenses was driven by the opening of The Parisian Macao.

Casino expenses increased $437 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to a $589 million increase at The Parisian Macao, partially offset by decreases of $92 million, $48 million and $30 million at Sands Cotai Central, Sands Macao and The Venetian Macao, respectively, driven by a decrease in gaming taxes due to decreased casino revenues.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $77 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $139 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease resulted from increased collections of previously reserved customer balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the prior year period, and continuing improvement in the quality of casino credit currently being extended. 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 $119 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increases of $91 million at The Parisian Macao, and $18 million and $9 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and The Venetian Macao, respectively, driven by an increase in marketing and advertising efforts.

Corporate expenses decreased $72 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to nonrecurring legal costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Pre-opening expense represents personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses decreased $121 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to pre-opening activities at The Parisian Macao, which opened in September 2016. 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 $121 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to a $150 million increase at The Parisian Macao, partially offset by a $51 million decrease resulting from a change in the estimated useful lives of certain property and equipment (see "Item

~~1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Property and Equipment, Net").~~

~~The loss on disposal of assets of $27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily related to dispositions at our Macao operations due to property damages caused by Typhoon Hato.~~

~~N/M - Not Meaningful~~

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $242 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to a $304 million increase at The Parisian Macao. This increase was partially offset by a $55 million decrease at our Macao properties (excluding The Parisian Macao), mainly due to decreased casino operations, driven by a decrease in Rolling Chip volume.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $276 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As previously described, the increase was primarily due to increased casino revenues, driven by increases in Rolling Chip win percentage and volume.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $32 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $43 million increase in net revenues (excluding intersegment royalty revenue), driven by increased casino revenue.

~~Interest Expense~~

~~The following table summarizes information related to interest expense:~~

Nine Months Ended September 30,
2017 2016
(Dollars in millions)
Interest cost (which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts) $ 230
$ 219
Add — imputed interest on deferred proceeds from sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo 11

$ 198
Cash paid for interest $ 199
$ 186
Weighted average total debt balance $ 9,970
$ 9,740
Weighted average interest rate 3.1 % 3.0 %

Interest cost increased $11 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, resulting primarily from an increase in our weighted average total debt balance. Capitalized interest decreased $31 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the opening of The Parisian Macao in September 2016.

~~Other Factors Effecting Earnings~~

~~Other expense was~~ ~~$80 million~~ for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Other expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was primarily attributable to a depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the Singapore dollar during the period. This resulted in $65 million of foreign currency transaction losses, driven by Singapore dollar denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars, and a $16 million fair value adjustment on our Singapore forward contracts.

Our effective income tax rate was 10.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 11.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the effective income tax rate relates primarily to the valuation allowances recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as we determined that certain deferred tax assets were no longer "more-likely-than-not" realizable. The effective income tax rates reflect 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, effective 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, as appropriate.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $306 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $248 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. 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~~Integrated Resorts at The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, The Parisian Macao, Sands 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, and reimbursements for common area maintenance ("CAM") and other expenditures.

The following tables summarize the results of our mall operations on the Cotai Strip and at Marina Bay Sands for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 and ~~2016:~~2017:

Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. Each property is also eligible to obtain an additional six-year exemption, provided certain qualifications are met. To date, The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao have obtained a second exemption, extending the property tax exemption to the end of July 2019 and the end of July 2020, respectively. Under the initial exemption, The Parisian Macao is tax exempt until the end of July 2022 and Sands Cotai Central has a distinct exemption for each hotel tower, of which, the Holiday Inn and Conrad branded tower expired in March 2018, and the Sheraton and St. Regis branded towers have ~~varying~~ expiration dates that range from ~~the end of March~~August 2018 to ~~the end of~~ November 2021. The Company is currently working on obtaining the second exemption for The Parisian Macao and Sands Cotai Central.


~~(5)~~(3)	Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for 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.

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

~~As our integrated resorts mature, we continue to reinvest in our portfolio of properties to maintain our high quality products and remain competitive in the markets in which we operate.~~ We are constantly evaluating opportunities to improve our product offerings, such as refreshing our meeting and convention facilities, suites and rooms, retail malls, restaurant and nightlife mix and our gaming areas, as well as other anticipated revenue generating additions to our ~~integrated resorts.~~Integrated Resorts.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis, while slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. Our rooms, food and beverage and other non-gaming revenues are conducted primarily on a cash basis or as a trade receivable, resulting in operating cash flows being generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable. Net cash generated from operating activities for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, increased ~~$391~~$434 million compared to the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily

attributable to an increase in ~~net~~operating income ~~partially offset by the level of contribution of~~and changes in our working capital accounts, ~~driven by the~~consisting primarily of a change in ~~accounts receivable.~~other accrued liabilities.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, totaled ~~$592~~$238 million, including ~~$349~~$125 million for construction and development activities in Macao, which consisted primarily of ~~$149~~$42 million for The Parisian Macao, ~~$113~~$42 million for The Venetian Macao and ~~$58~~$28 million for Sands Cotai Central; ~~$137~~$49 million for corporate and other; $35 million at Marina Bay ~~Sands;~~Sands in Singapore; and ~~$86~~$26 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we paid 66 million Singapore dollars ("SGD," approximately $47 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) to renew our Singapore gaming license for a three-year term.Properties.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were ~~$2.81 billion~~$977 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, which was primarily attributable to ~~$2.36 billion~~$902 million in dividend payments, ~~$300~~$75 million in common stock repurchases and ~~$174 million of~~ net repayments of $25 million on our various credit ~~facilities.~~facilities, partially offset by proceeds of $54 million from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were ~~$2.08 billion~~$954 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, which was primarily attributable to ~~$2.34 billion~~$889 million in dividend payments and $150 million in common stock repurchases, partially offset by ~~$297~~$85 million of net proceeds from our various credit facilities.

Capital Financing Overview

We fund our development projects primarily through borrowings from our credit facilities (see, "Part I — Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 34 — Long-Term Debt") and operating cash flows.

In March 2018, we amended our SGD 4.80 billion (approximately $3.66 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2018) Singapore credit facility, which extended the maturities of the term loans and revolving loans to March 29, 2024, and September 29, 2023, respectively, and amended the amortization schedule and the leverage covenant to provide that the leverage ratio not exceed 4.0x for all quarterly periods through maturity (see "Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 4 — Long-Term Debt — 2012 Singapore Credit Facility").

In March 2018, we amended our U.S. credit facility, which refinanced the term loans in an aggregate amount of $2.16 billion, extended the maturity of the term loans to March 27, 2025, and reduced the applicable margin credit spread for borrowings under the term loans (see "Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 4 — Long-Term Debt — 2013 U.S. Credit Facility").

Our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants. The U.S. credit facility 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~~12-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 requires our Macao operations 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 all quarterly periods through maturity. Our Singapore credit facility requires our Marina Bay Sands operations to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is ~~3.5x~~4.0x for the quarterly periods ending ~~September 30, 2017 through September 30, 2019, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter~~March 31, 2018 through maturity. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, our U.S., Macao and Singapore leverage ratios, as defined per the respective credit facility agreements, were ~~0.5x, 1.8x~~0.4x, 1.6x and ~~2.0x,~~1.7x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 5.5x, 3.5x and ~~3.5x,~~4.0x, 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. Any 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 ~~$2.0~~$2.63 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately ~~$11~~$12 million as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, of which approximately ~~$1.04~~$1.48 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the ~~$1.04~~$1.48 billion, approximately ~~$857 million~~$1.18 billion is available to be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal taxes owed on such ~~amounts due~~amounts. U.S. tax reform created a one-time mandatory tax on the previously unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries upon transitioning from a worldwide tax system to ~~the significant~~a territorial tax system. The foreign taxes we paid ~~which would ultimately generate~~on these earnings created a U.S. foreign tax ~~credits if cash is repatriated.~~credit that offsets this one-time tax. Foreign earnings repatriated to the U.S. in the future will be exempt from U.S. income tax and we do not expect significant withholding or other foreign taxes to apply to the repatriation of these earnings. The remaining unrestricted amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are not available for repatriation primarily due to dividend requirements to ~~third party~~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, as well as the $3.51 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit, as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, will be sufficient to maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities, debt obligations and dividend commitments. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate our capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof.

In March 2017, we entered into an agreement to amend our U.S. credit facility, which refinanced the term loans in an aggregate amount of $2.18 billion, extended the maturity of the term loans to March 2024, removed the requirement to prepay outstanding revolving loans and/or permanently reduce revolving commitments in certain circumstances and lowered the applicable margin credit spread for borrowings under the term loans (see "Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Long-Term Debt — 2013 U.S. Credit Facility"). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had net repayments of $36 million on our 2013 U.S. Extended Revolving Facility.

On February ~~24 and June~~ 23, ~~2017,~~2018, SCL paid a dividend of 0.99 Hong Kong dollars ("HKD") ~~and HKD 1.00 per share, respectively,~~ to SCL shareholders (a total of ~~$2.07~~$1.02 billion, of which we retained ~~$1.45 billion~~$717 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017)~~March 31, 2018). On March ~~31,~~16, 2018, the Board of Directors of SCL approved a dividend of HKD 1.00 per share to SCL shareholders, subject to shareholder approval, to be paid on June 22, 2018, to shareholders of record on June 4, 2018.

On March 30, ~~and September 30, 2017,~~2018, we paid a dividend of ~~$0.73~~$0.75 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program and recorded ~~$1.73 billion~~$593 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which ~~$946~~$324 million related to our ~~Principal Stockholder's~~principal stockholder's family and the remaining ~~$787~~$269 million related to all other shareholders) during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018. In ~~October 2017,~~April 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of ~~$0.73~~$0.75 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately ~~$577~~$592 million) to be paid on ~~December 29, 2017,~~June 28, 2018, to shareholders of record on ~~December 21, 2017. In October 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors increased the dividend for the 2018 calendar year to $3.00 per common share, or $0.75 per common share per quarter.~~June 20, 2018.

In November 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $1.56 billion of our outstanding common stock, which expires in November 2018. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, we repurchased ~~5,107,237~~1,048,200 shares of our common stock for ~~$300~~$75 million (including commissions) under this program. All share repurchases of our common stock are recorded as treasury stock. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, we have remaining authorization to repurchase ~~$1.26~~$1.11 billion of our outstanding common shares. 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.

Aggregate Indebtedness and Other Known Contractual Obligations

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, there had been no material changes to our aggregated indebtedness and other known contractual obligations ~~which are set forth in the table included~~previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, with the exception of the ~~following:~~amendments to our U.S. and Singapore credit facilities.

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~~exposures to market risk isare interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our operations outside the United States, which we may manage through the use of interest rate swaps, futures, options, caps, forward contracts and similar instruments. 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 currently consist primarily of foreign currency forward contracts, none of which have been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.~~

To manage exposure to counterparty credit risk in foreign currency forward contracts, 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.

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately ~~$9.57~~$9.60 billion, compared to its carrying value of ~~$9.71~~$9.75 billion. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is based on level 2 inputs (quoted prices in markets that are not active). As our long-term debt obligations are primarily variable-rate debt, a change in LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR is not expected to have a material impact on the fair value of our long-term debt. Based on variable-rate debt levels as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR for the duration of a year would cause our annual interest cost to change by approximately $98 million.

Foreign currency transaction losses were ~~$65~~$26 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, primarily due to Singapore dollar denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars and U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt held in Macao. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/SGD and U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rates. Based on balances as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, a hypothetical ~~10% strengthening or weakening of~~100 basis point change in the U.S. ~~dollar against the~~ dollar/SGD ~~(excluding the impact of foreign currency forward contracts)~~exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction ~~gain of approximately $105 million or a~~ gain/loss of approximately ~~$129~~$12 million and a hypothetical 100 basis point change in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of approximately $15 million. 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.

We manage a portion of our exposure to currency fluctuations with foreign currency forward contracts. As of September 30, 2017, we had eight foreign currency forward contracts with a total notional value of $144 million, contract expirations through December 2017 and a total liability fair value of $4 million. As of September 30, 2017, a hypothetical unfavorable 10% change in the U.S. dollar/SGD exchange rate would cause an increase in our unrealized loss by approximately $14 million.

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 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, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, 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 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 a material effect, or was reasonably likely to have a material effect, on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
