NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“Red Rock,” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in ~~September~~ 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates 10 major gaming and entertainment facilities and 10 smaller casino properties (3 of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. ~~Station LLC also manages Graton Resort in northern California on behalf of a Native American tribe.~~

The Company owns all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and has an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through its ownership of limited liability interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company held 61% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and is designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. The Company controls and operates all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conducts all of its operations through these entities.

While the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) is still ongoing, the state-mandated occupancy and other operational restrictions that were first imposed in March 2020 were lifted as of June 1, 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company was subject to a new state-mandated rule requiring all employees and guests to wear face coverings while indoors in public spaces. At June 30, 2021, the Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho and Palms Casino Resort (“Palms”) properties have not reopened. The Company will continue to assess the performance of its open properties, as well as the recovery of the Las Vegas market and the economy as a whole, before considering whether to reopen some or all of the remaining properties. The Company has no plans to reopen any of these properties in 2021. As a result of the pandemic, the temporary closure of all of the Company’s properties from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020 and the ongoing closure of four of its properties, the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not comparable with those of the prior periods presented.

A subsidiary of Station LLC also managed Graton Resort, a casino in northern California, on behalf of a Native American tribe through February 5, 2021. The property was temporarily closed from March 17, 2020 through June 17, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The management agreement was originally expected to expire in November 2020 but was extended as a result of the pandemic through February 5, 2021, when the tribe terminated the Company’s management role at the facility. Whether the management agreement provides for an additional extension beyond that date is in dispute.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

Station Holdco and Station LLC are variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and Station Holdco, and presents the interest in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company has investments in 3 50% owned smaller casino properties which are joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In ~~March 2020,~~December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued temporary accounting guidance to ease the accounting effects of reform to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other reference rates. The guidance contains optional expedients and exceptions that apply to accounting for contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of an interim period or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance beginning in the first quarter of

2020 and elected to continue to assert probability of its hedging relationships regardless of any potential modifications in terms due to reference rate reform. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

~~In June 2016, the FASB~~ issued amended accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for ~~measurement~~income taxes. The amendment eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of ~~credit losses on financial instruments.~~deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The ~~amended~~amendment also simplifies other aspects of the accounting guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected loss model, and is applicable to most financial assets, including trade receivables other than those arising from operating leases.for income taxes. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, ~~2020 using a modified retrospective transition method.~~2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2. ~~Impact~~Assets Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets as held for sale when a sale is probable of ~~COVID-19~~

~~In March 2020, a global pandemic was declared due to an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). In an effort to contain~~completion within one year and the ~~spread of COVID-19, a statewide emergency order was issued mandating the closure of Nevada casinos. As a result,~~asset or asset group meets all of the ~~Company’s Las Vegas properties were temporarily closed~~accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale. Assets held for sale and any related liabilities are presented as single asset and liability amounts on ~~March 17, 2020~~. ~~As permitted under Phase 2~~the balance sheet with a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of ~~Nevada’s COVID-19 response,~~the net assets to the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Estimates are required to determine the fair value and the related disposal costs. The estimated fair value is generally based on ~~June 4, 2020,~~market comparables, solicited offers or a discounted cash flow model. In subsequent periods, the valuation allowance may be adjusted based on changes in management’s estimate of fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets are not recorded during the period in which such assets are classified as held for sale.

On May 3, 2021, the Company ~~reopened its Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe Station, Boulder Station, Palace Station~~entered into an agreement to sell the equity interests in the entity that holds Palms to a third-party buyer for aggregate consideration of $650.0 million. The sale is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2021. Accordingly, the net assets of Palms that are expected to be disposed were reclassified to held for sale, and ~~Sunset Station properties, together with its Wildfire properties, subject~~the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $167.8 million to ~~state-mandated occupancy and social distancing restrictions. The Company will continue to assess~~reduce the ~~performance~~carrying amount of the ~~reopened properties and demand in the Las Vegas locals gaming market before considering whether~~disposal group to ~~reopen~~ its ~~Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho and Palms properties. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue~~estimated fair value less cost to ~~have a detrimental impact on the United States and Las Vegas economies, including increased unemployment as well as reduced consumer confidence, discretionary spending and travel.~~

In addition, the Company’s managed property, Graton Resort, located in Northern California, was temporarily closed from March 17, 2020 through June 17, 2020. The Company’s agreements to manage Graton Resort were originally scheduled to expire in November 2020. The parties have agreed that the terms and expiration dates of the management agreements will be extended as a result of the closure to February 5, 2021. Whether the management agreements provide for an additional extension beyond that date is in dispute and the length of an additional extension, if any, has not been agreed and cannot be determined at this time.sell.

The Company has taken steps to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, property closures, operating restrictions and the economic downturn on its business and financial condition. In March 2020, Station LLC borrowed $997.5 million under its revolving credit facility in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility, of which $917.5 million was repaid through September 2020. The Company has also taken steps to reduce capital expenditures and operating expenses where possible, including staffing reductions. Based on these actions and financial assumptions regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations, management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.

~~3. Indefinite-lived Intangibles, Long-lived Assets and Goodwill~~

~~During the first quarter of 2020, the economic~~effects of the COVID-19 pandemic described above had a significant adverse effect on the Company’s actual and projected operating results as well as its stock price. Management determined that those effects represented indicators of potential asset impairment. As a result, management performed interim impairment assessments as of March 31, 2020 for all of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill. The impairment testing, which is discussed in the following paragraphs, resulted in the recognition of no impairment losses. Although the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are ongoing, management determined that there were no new indicators of impairment through September 30, 2020 and therefore no impairment testing was performed subsequent to March 31, 2020. However, the Company cannot predict the future impact or duration of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result, cannot reasonably predict the probability or amount of impairment losses that may be incurred in future periods.

The Company’s long-lived assets and goodwill are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, and each of the Company’s operating properties is considered a separate reporting unit. The valuations used by management to assess the Company’s assets for impairment incorporate inherent uncertainties that are difficult to predict in the current economic environment. When evaluating assets for impairment, management must make numerous highly subjective and judgmental estimates and assumptions, all of which are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, and many of which are based on significant unobservable inputs. The most significant assumptions and inputs used by management in evaluating the Company’s assets for impairment are projected short-term and long-term operating results and cash flows, projected capital expenditures, estimated long-term growth rates and the weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk profilecarrying amounts of the assets ~~being evaluated. The timing~~ and ~~trajectory~~liabilities held for sale related to Palms are presented below (amounts in thousands):


	June 30, 2021
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	33
Restricted cash	4,765
Other current assets	56
Property and equipment	779,705
Intangible assets, net	11,784
Other assets, net	14,859
Valuation allowance on assets held for sale	(167,647)
Assets held for sale	$	643,555

Liabilities
Current liabilities	$	1,868
Other long-term liabilities	2,137
Liabilities related to assets held for sale	$	4,005

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Palms generated net revenues of $5.5 million and pretax income of $0.4 million. For the ~~expected post-pandemic economic recovery is unknown,~~six months ended June 30, 2021, Palms generated net revenues of $9.6 million and pretax losses of $189.2

~~accordingly, management’s estimates~~million, which included the $167.8 million asset impairment charge. For the three and ~~assumptions are likely~~six months ended June 30, 2020, Palms generated net revenues of $0.9 million and $48.1 million, respectively, and pretax losses of $29.5 million and $54.7 million, respectively.

In addition to ~~change~~the net assets of Palms presented above, assets held for sale also included an undeveloped land parcel that is expected to be sold within one year, with an aggregate carrying amount of $12.6 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In the second quarter of 2021, management determined that the held for sale criteria were no longer met for two parcels of land that were previously classified as ~~more information becomes available. Management believes that it has made reasonable estimates~~held for sale, and judgments in performing its analysis in light of the unprecedented risks and uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. However, if actual results in future periods differ materially from the Company’s projected results and the related assumptions utilized in management’s analysis, the Company could be required to recognize impairment losses in future periods.

~~Long-lived Assets~~

~~The Company’s business is capital intensive and a significant portion of its capital is invested in property and equipment and other long-lived assets. At September 30, 2020,~~ the carrying amount of ~~the Company’s long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets,~~$24.3 million was ~~approximately $3.2 billion.~~

~~The Company reviews its long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets,~~reclassified to Land held for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets’ carrying amounts by comparing the estimated future cash flows of the asset or asset group, on an undiscounted basis, to its carrying amount. If the undiscounted estimated future cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, including any related goodwill, no impairment is indicated.

~~Management tested the Company’s long-lived assets for recoverability~~development at ~~March~~December 31, 2020, and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of all of the operating properties’ asset groups exceeded their carrying amounts. If the Company’s actual or projected operating results or cash flows decline in future periods, the Company could be required to recognize a long-lived asset impairment loss.

~~Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangibles~~

The Company tests its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, and whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. At September 30, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill totaled $195.7 million, of which approximately $169.9 million or 87% was associated with one of its operating properties. At September 30, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets totaled $77.5 million.

Management tested the Company’s goodwill for impairment as of March 31, 2020 by comparing the estimated fair value of each of its operating properties with goodwill to the carrying amount of the property, including goodwill. The fair value of each property was estimated using discounted cash flow techniques and market indications of value. Management concluded that no goodwill impairment had occurred as of the testing date because the fair value of each of the Company’s properties with goodwill exceeded its carrying amount. At March 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the property with the majority of the Company’s goodwill exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 27%. For all other properties with goodwill, their respective estimated fair values exceeded their carrying amounts. Management also performed a sensitivity analysis for each property with goodwill by increasing the discount rate and decreasing the projected operating results. Management noted that while the changes in these inputs reduced the excess of the fair value over the carrying amount, such changes would result in no impairment loss. However, if the excess of fair value over the carrying amount of any of the Company’s properties with goodwill declines by a significant amount in the future as a result of changes in actual and projected operating results or other internal or external economic factors, the Company could be required to recognize goodwill impairment losses in future periods.

Management tested the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, primarily representing its brands, for impairment as of March 31, 2020 by comparing the estimated fair values of the assets to their respective carrying amounts. Fair values were estimated using a derivation of the income approach to value, which is based on the present value of estimated royalties avoided through ownership of the assets. The primary inputs to the valuation of the Company’s brands are projected revenues and the discount rate, which is based on the weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for a risk premium. Management concluded that no impairment of the Company’s brands had occurred because the carrying amount of each of the brands did not exceed its respective estimated fair value. If the growth and timing of the Company’s actual revenues do not meet management’s projections, or if management’s projections of future revenues decline, the Company could be required to recognize impairment losses for its brands in future periods.

4.3. Noncontrolling Interest in Station Holdco

As discussed in Note 1, Red Rock holds a controlling interest in and consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its subsidiaries and Station Holdco, and the interests in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock are presented within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2021, a noncontrolling interest holder unaffiliated with Red Rock exchanged 100,000 LLC Units, together with an equal number of Class B common shares, for cash at the election of the Company, which increased Red Rock’s percentage ownership in Station Holdco. NaN Class B common shares and LLC Units were exchanged during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2020, approximately ~~0.7 million~~100,000 and 741,000 LLC Units, respectively, together with an equal number of Class B common shares held by noncontrolling interest holders, were exchanged for Class A common shares, which increased Red Rock’s ownership interest in Station Holdco. NaN Class B common shares and LLC Units were exchanged for Class A common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, noncontrolling interest holders exchanged approximately 0.1 million LLC Units, together with an equal number of Class B common shares, for Class A common shares.

The ownership of the LLC Units is summarized as follows:


		September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019				June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
		Units	Ownership %		Units	Ownership %			Units	Ownership %		Units	Ownership %

The Company uses monthly weighted-average LLC Unit ownership to calculate the pretax income ~~(loss)~~or loss and other comprehensive income ~~(loss)~~or loss of Station Holdco attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders. Station Holdco equity attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders is rebalanced, as needed, to reflect LLC Unit ownership at period end.

5.4. Native American Development

~~North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians~~

The Company has development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (the “Mono”), a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, which were originally entered into in 2003. In August 2014, the Mono and the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. Pursuant to those agreements, the Company will assist the Mono in developing and operating a gaming and entertainment facility (the “North Fork Project”) to be located in Madera County, California. The Company purchased a 305-acre parcel of land adjacent to Highway 99 north of the city of Madera (the “North Fork Site”), which was taken into trust for the benefit of the Mono by the Department of the Interior (“DOI”) in February 2013.

As currently contemplated, the North Fork Project is expected to include approximately 2,000 Class III slot machines, approximately 40 table games and several restaurants, and ~~the cost~~future development costs of the project isare expected to be between ~~$250~~$350 million and ~~$300~~$400 million. Development of the North Fork Project is subject to certain governmental and regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, approval of the ~~Management Agreement~~management agreement by the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”).

Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the Company has agreed to arrange the financing for the ongoing development costs and construction of the facility, and has contributed significant financial support to the North Fork Project. Through ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company has paid approximately ~~$34.6~~$41.1 million of reimbursable advances to the Mono, primarily to complete the environmental impact study, purchase the North Fork Site and pay the costs of litigation. The advances are expected to be repaid from the proceeds of ~~third-party~~the project’s financing or from the Mono’s cash flows from the North Fork Project’s operations; however, there can be no assurance that the advances will be repaid. The carrying amount of the advances was

reduced to fair value upon the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting in 2011. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the carrying amount of the advances was ~~$19.5~~$26.0 million. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, accrued interest on the advances will not be recognized in income until the carrying amount of the advances has been recovered.

The Company will receive a development fee of 4% of the costs of construction (as defined in the Development Agreement) for its development services, which will be paid upon the commencement of gaming operations at the facility. In March 2018, the Mono submitted a proposed Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) to the NIGC. The Management Agreement allows the Company to receive a management fee of 30% of the North

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

Fork Project’s net income. The Management Agreement and the Development Agreement have a term of seven years from the opening of the North Fork Project. The Management Agreement includes termination provisions whereby either party may terminate the agreement for cause, and the Management Agreement may also be terminated at any time upon agreement of the parties. There is no provision in the Management Agreement allowing the tribe to buy-out the agreement prior to its expiration. The Management Agreement provides that the Company will train the Mono tribal members such that they may assume responsibility for managing the North Fork Project upon the expiration of the agreement.

Upon termination or expiration of the Management Agreement and Development Agreement, the Mono will continue to be obligated to repay any unpaid principal and interest on the advances from the Company, as well as certain other amounts that may be due, such as management fees. Amounts due to the Company under the Development Agreement and Management Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the North Fork Project except the North Fork Site. In addition, the Development Agreement and Management Agreement contain waivers of the Mono’s sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of enforcing the agreements or permitting or compelling arbitration and other remedies.

The timing of this type of project is difficult to predict and is dependent upon the receipt of the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance as to when, or if, these approvals will be obtained. The Company currently estimates that construction of the North Fork Project may begin in the next ~~6 to 12~~three months and estimates that the North Fork Project would be completed and opened for business approximately 15 to 18 months after construction begins. There can be no assurance, however, that the North Fork Project will be completed and opened within this time frame or at all. The Company expects to assist the Mono in obtaining ~~third-party~~ financing for the North Fork Project once all necessary regulatory approvals have been received and prior to commencement of construction; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing for the North Fork Project on acceptable terms or at all.

The Company has evaluated the likelihood that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed and opened, and has concluded that the likelihood of successful completion is in the range of 75% to 85% at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company’s evaluation is based on its consideration of all available positive and negative evidence about the status of the North Fork Project, including, but not limited to, the status of required regulatory approvals, as well as the progress being made toward the achievement of all milestones and the successful resolution of all litigation and contingencies. There can be no assurance that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed or that future events and circumstances will not change the Company’s estimates of the timing, scope, and potential for successful completion or that any such changes will not be material. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all of its investment in the North Fork Project even if it is successfully completed and opened for business.

The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 of each of the critical milestones necessary to complete the North Fork Project.


Federally recognized as an Indian tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”)			Yes
Date of recognition			Federal recognition was terminated in 1966 and restored in 1983.
Tribe has possession of or access to usable land upon which the project is to be built			The DOI accepted approximately 305 acres of land for the project into trust for the benefit of the Mono in February 2013.
Status of obtaining regulatory and governmental approvals:
Tribal-state compact			A compact ~~(the “Compact”)~~ was negotiated and signed by the Governor of California and the Mono in August 2012. The California State Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 277 (“AB 277”) which ratified the Compact in May 2013 and June 2013, respectively. Opponents of the North Fork Project qualified a referendum, “Proposition 48,” for a state-wide ballot challenging the legislature’s ratification of the Compact. In November 2014, Proposition 48 failed. The State took the position that the failure of Proposition 48 nullified the ratification of the Compact and, therefore, the Compact did not take effect under California law. In March 2015, the Mono filed suit against the State to obtain a compact with the State or procedures from the Secretary of the Interior under which Class III gaming may be conducted on the North Fork Site. In July 2016, the DOI issued Secretarial procedures (the “Secretarial Procedures”) pursuant to which the Mono may conduct Class III gaming on the North Fork Site.
Approval of gaming compact by DOI			The Compact was submitted to the DOI in July 2013. In October 2013, notice of the Compact taking effect was published in the Federal Register. The Secretarial Procedures supersede and replace the Compact.
Record of decision regarding environmental impact published by BIA			In November 2012, the record of decision for the Environmental Impact Statement for the North Fork Project was issued by the BIA. In December 2012, the Notice of Intent to take land into trust was published in the Federal Register.
BIA accepting usable land into trust on behalf of the tribe			The North Fork Site was accepted into trust in February 2013.
Approval of management agreement by NIGC			In December 2015, the Mono submitted a Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, and certain related documents, to the NIGC. In July 2016, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. In March 2018, the Mono submitted the Management Agreement and certain related documents to the NIGC. In June 2018, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Management Agreement. In April 2021, the Mono received an issues letter from the NIGC identifying issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. Approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC is expected to occur following the Mono’s response to the ~~deficiency~~issues letter. The Company believes the Management Agreement will be approved because the terms and conditions thereof are consistent with the provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”).
Gaming licenses:
Type			The North Fork Project will include the operation of Class II and Class III gaming, which are allowed pursuant to the terms of the Secretarial Procedures and IGRA, following approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC.
Number of gaming devices allowed			The Secretarial Procedures allow for the operation of a maximum of 2,000 Class III slot machines at the facility during the first two years of operation and thereafter up to 2,500 Class III slot machines. There is no limit on the number of Class II gaming devices that the Mono can offer.
Agreements with local authorities			The Mono has entered into memoranda of understanding with the City of Madera, the County of Madera and the Madera Irrigation District under which the Mono agreed to pay one-time and recurring mitigation contributions, subject to certain contingencies. The memoranda of understanding ~~with the City and County were~~have all been amended ~~in December 2016~~ to restructure the timing of certain payments due to delays in the development of the North Fork Project.

Following is a discussion of certain unresolved legal matters related to the North Fork Project.

Stand Up For California! v. Brown. In March 2013, Stand Up for California! and Barbara Leach, a local resident (collectively, the “Stand Up” plaintiffs), filed a complaint for declaratory relief and petition for writ of mandate in California Superior Court for the County of Madera against California Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., alleging that Governor Brown violated the California constitutional separation-of-powers doctrine when he concurred in the Secretary of the Interior’s determination that gaming on the North Fork Site would be in the best interest of the Mono and not detrimental to the surrounding community (the “North Fork Determination”). The complaint sought to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence. Plaintiffs’ complaint was subsequently amended to include a challenge to the constitutionality of AB 277. The Mono intervened as a defendant in the lawsuit. In March 2014, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ amended complaint, which dismissal was appealed by plaintiffs. In December 2016, the California Court of Appeal, Fifth Appellate District (the “Fifth District Court of Appeal”) ruled in favor of the Stand Up plaintiffs concluding that Governor Brown exceeded his authority in concurring in the North Fork Determination. The Mono and the State filed petitions in the Supreme Court of California seeking review of the Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision, which petitions for review were granted in March 2017. The Supreme Court of California deferred additional briefing or other action in this matter pending consideration and disposition of a similar issue in United Auburn Indian Community of Auburn Rancheria v. Brown. On August 31, 2020 the Supreme Court of California announced its decision in the United Auburn case, concluding that Governor Brown’s concurrence in that case did not exceed his authority. On October 14, 2020, the Supreme Court of California transferred the Stand Up case back to the Fifth District Court of Appeal with directions to vacate its December 2016 decision against the Mono and the State and to reconsider the matter in light of the United Auburn decision. The Fifth District Court of Appeal permitted supplemental briefing in connection with its reconsideration of the matter, which briefing was completed on February 10, 2021. In May 2021, the Fifth District Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the Stand Up plaintiffs, concluding that the referendum which rejected the California legislature’s ratification of the North Fork compact also impliedly and retroactively annulled Governor Brown’s concurrence in the North Fork Determination. In June 2021, the Mono and the State filed petitions in the Supreme Court of California seeking review of the Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision.

Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians v. Brown. In March 2016, Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians (“Picayune”) filed a complaint for declaratory relief and petition for writ of mandate in California Superior Court for the County of Madera against Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., alleging that the referendum that invalidated the Compact also invalidated Governor Brown’s concurrence with the North Fork Determination. The complaint seeks to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence. In July 2016, the court granted the Mono’s application to intervene and the Mono filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the case. In November 2016, the district court dismissed Picayune’s complaint, but the court subsequently vacated its ruling based on the December 2016 decision by the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Stand Up for California! v. Brown. The case has been stayed since 2017 pending a decision by the California Supreme Court in Stand Up for California! v. Brown.

Stand Up for California! et. al. v. United States Department of the Interior. In November 2016, Stand Up for California! and other plaintiffs filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (the “District Court”) alleging that the DOI’s issuance of Secretarial Procedures for the Mono was subject to the National Environmental Policies Act (“NEPA”) and the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”), and violate the Johnson Act. The complaint further alleges violations of the Freedom of Information Act and the Administrative Procedures Act.

The Company’s objective inwhen using derivative instruments is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company ~~uses~~may use interest rate swaps as a ~~primary~~ part of its cash flow hedging strategy. The Company does not ~~use~~designate derivative financial instruments in cash flow hedging relationships nor use them for trading or speculative purposes.

~~The Company’s hedging strategy includes the use of forward-starting interest rate swaps that are not designated in cash flow hedging relationships. The~~At June 30, 2021, Station LLC was party to interest rate swap agreements ~~allow Station LLC to receive~~under which it received variable-rate payments in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. ~~At September 30, 2020, Station LLC’s~~The interest rate swaps had a weighted-average fixed pay rate of 1.94%, a combined notional amount of $1.3 billion and effectively converted $1.3 billion of Station LLC’s variable interest rate debt to a fixed rate of ~~4.09%.~~4.06% at June 30, 2021. The interest rate swaps ~~will expire~~expired on July 8, 2021.

Derivative instruments are presented at fair value, exclusive of accrued interest, in Other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Company does not offset derivative asset and liability positions when interest rate swap agreements are held with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments not designated in hedge accounting relationships and the related pretax gains and losses are presented in Change in fair value of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the period in which the change occurs.

Station LLC has not posted any collateral related to its interest rate swap agreements; however, Station LLC’s obligations under the interest rate swap agreements ~~are~~were subject to the security and guarantee arrangements applicable to the Credit Facility. The interest rate swap agreements ~~contain~~contained a cross-default provision under which Station LLC could be declared in default on its obligation under such agreements if certain conditions of default exist on the Credit Facility. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the termination value of Station LLC’s interest rate swaps, including accrued interest, was a net liability of ~~$18.9~~$1.9 million. Had Station LLC been in breach of the provisions of its swap agreements, it could have been required to pay the termination value to settle the obligations.

Certain of Station LLC’s interest rate swaps were previously designated in cash flow hedging relationships until their dedesignation in June 2017. Accordingly, associated cumulative deferred net gains, which were previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, were amortized as a reduction of interest expense through July 2020 as the hedged interest payments occurred. During the three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2020, ~~and 2019, $0.1~~$0.6 million and ~~$0.7~~$1.3 million, respectively, in deferred net gains were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

~~13.~~11. Income Taxes

Red Rock is a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes on its income, primarily pass-through income from Station Holdco based upon Red Rock’s economic interest held in Station Holdco. Station Holdco is a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. Station Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their respective share of Station Holdco’s pass-through taxable income.

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes necessary cumulative adjustments to the total tax provision or benefit. The current taxes are estimated for the period and the balance sheet is adjusted to reflect such taxes currently payable or receivable. The remaining tax provision or benefit is recorded as deferred taxes. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws, some of which were enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~0.0%~~0.4% and ~~(102.0)%~~2.1%, respectively, including discrete items, as compared to ~~3.1%~~0.0% and ~~(0.9)~~(61.8)% for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019.~~2020, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 as compared to the 21% statutory rate was primarily impacted by a full valuation allowance established against the deferred tax assets (“DTAs”). Other items impacting the effective tax rate include a rate ~~detriment~~benefit attributable to the fact that Station Holdco operates as a limited liability company which is not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the Company ~~does~~is not ~~benefit from~~taxed on the portion of Station Holdco’s ~~losses~~income attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition, state income taxes do not have a significant impact on the Company's

(UNAUDITED)

effective rate. Station Holdco operates in Nevada and California. Nevada does not impose a state income tax and the Company's activities in California result in minimal state income tax.

As a result of the Company’s 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”) and certain reorganization transactions, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset resulting from the outside basis difference of its interest in Station Holdco. The Company also recorded a DTA for its liability related to payments to be made pursuant to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) representing 85% of the tax savings the Company expects to realize from the amortization deductions associated with the step up in the basis of depreciable assets under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Company has recorded DTAs related to tax attributes including net operating losses, interest limitations and tax credits.

The Company considers both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is not required to the extent that, in management’s judgment, positive evidence exists with a magnitude and duration sufficient to result in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized. As a result of the economic downturn and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on its current operating results and the considerable uncertainty that remains in the future, the Company determined it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Historically, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on the DTA related only to the LLC Units issued in the IPO and reorganization transactions as the deferred tax asset relating to those units is not expected to be realized unless the Company disposes of its investment in Station Holdco. The Company recognizes changes to the valuation allowance through the provision for income tax or other comprehensive income, as applicable, and at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the valuation allowance was ~~$168.9~~$155.4 million and ~~$39.9~~$160.5 million, respectively.

The Company recorded ~~$5.9~~$1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company does not currently record interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits as any recognition would result in a reduction of its net operating loss or other tax attributes and would not result in an underpayment of tax. Further, the Company does not believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that it will be required to record a significant liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The Company files annual income tax returns for Red Rock and Station Holdco in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and ~~state jurisdictions.~~California. The ~~Company is under federal audit~~Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has concluded its examination of Red Rock for the 2016 tax year. Station Holdco has also concluded examination for the 2016 tax year and is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2017 tax ~~years.~~year. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from any examinations to determine the adequacy of the Company’s provision for income taxes.

the 2016 audit adjustments were reflected as a reduction in carryforward net operating loss, deferred tax asset and corresponding valuation allowance for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the TRA with certain owners who held LLC Units prior to the IPO. In the event that such parties exchange any or all of their LLC Units for Class A common stock, the TRA requires the Company to make payments to such holders for 85% of the tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of such exchange. The Company expects to realize these tax benefits based on current projections of taxable income. The annual tax benefits are computed by calculating the income taxes due, including such tax benefits, and the income taxes due without such benefits.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company’s liability under the TRA was ~~$27.4~~$28.0 million and ~~$25.1~~$27.4 million, respectively, of which $9.0 million was payable to entities related to Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, Vice Chairman of the Board and a vice president of the Company. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, exchanges of LLC Units resulted in an increase in the amount payable under the TRA liability of $0.6 million, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, such exchanges resulted in increases to the TRA liability of $0.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, all of which ~~was~~were recorded through stockholders’ equity. NaN LLC Units were exchanged during the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates each year and the tax rate then applicable. The payment obligations under the TRA are Red Rock’s obligations and are not obligations of Station Holdco or Station LLC. Payments are generally due within a specified period of time following the filing of the Company’s annual tax return and interest on such payments will accrue from the original due date (without extensions) of the income tax return until the date paid. Payments not

made within the required period after the filing of the income tax return generally accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.00%.

The TRA will remain in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA. The TRA will also terminate if the Company breaches its obligations under the TRA or upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control. If the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA, or if the TRA is terminated early in accordance with its terms, the Company’s payment obligations would be accelerated based upon certain assumptions, including the assumption that the Company would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize such tax benefits, and may substantially exceed the actual benefits, if any, the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRA.

~~14.~~12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings ~~(loss)~~or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income ~~(loss)~~or loss attributable to Red Rock by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive shares, including shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, based on the application of the treasury stock method, and outstanding Class B common stock that is exchangeable, along with an equal number of LLC Units, for Class A common stock, based on the application of the if-converted method. ~~For~~Dilutive shares included in the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2020 and~~calculation of diluted earnings per shares for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2019,~~2021 represent outstanding shares of Class B common stock, nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. All other potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss. As a result, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for those periods because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020 represented outstanding shares of Class B common stock and nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the Company changed its methodology for allocating certain corporate technology expenses to its reportable segments. Historically, all technology costs incurred at the corporate level were allocated to the Company’s operating properties on a pro rata basis. Under the new methodology, only technology costs that are directly related to operating properties are allocated to those properties, and expenses associated with corporate technology initiatives remain within corporate expense. Such corporate technology expenses were $3.3 million and $11.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $5.1 million and $13.6 million, for the three and nine months ended

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Red Rock” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~

~~Impact of COVID-19~~

In March 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a global pandemic. As a result of a statewide order mandating the closure of Nevada casinos in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19, all of our Las Vegas properties were temporarily closed on March 17, 2020. As permitted under Phase 2 of Nevada’s COVID-19 response plan, on June 4, 2020, we reopened our Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe Station, Boulder Station, Palace Station and Sunset Station properties, together with our Wildfire properties, subject to certain operational restrictions. Our Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, Fiesta Henderson and Palms properties remain closed at this time. We will continue to assess the performance of the reopened properties, as well as the recovery of the Las Vegas market and the economy as a whole, before considering whether to reopen some or all of the remaining properties, and we do not expect to reopen any of these properties in 2020. The closure of our properties and the ongoing pandemic has had and may continue to have adverse effects on our business and results of operations, the extent and duration of which are difficult to estimate. In addition, Graton Resort, our managed property located in northern California, temporarily closed on March 17, 2020 and partially reopened on June 18, 2020.

We have implemented comprehensive health and cleanliness standards designed to provide the safest and most secure environment possible for our guests and employees, which include COVID-19 testing of our employees and vendors, personal protective equipment and temperature checks for employees and guests, enhanced cleaning procedures and other measures. We anticipate that for the remainder of the year, and likely thereafter, our results of operations will be impacted by the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related operational restrictions, which may remain in place for an extended period of time. We cannot predict the extent to which our business will continue to be affected by the detrimental impacts of COVID-19 on the United States and Las Vegas economies, including widespread unemployment and related effects on consumer confidence and discretionary spending.

While we have taken steps to reduce our expenses in an effort to mitigate these and potential future effects of COVID-19 on our results of operations, we continue to have significant fixed and variable expenses that will impact our cash position and profitability. In March 2020, we drew $997.5 million under our revolving credit facility to secure our liquidity position and preserve financial flexibility, of which $917.5 million was repaid through September 2020. See ~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~ ~~for more information. In addition, we implemented staffing reductions in May 2020 that affected approximately 39% of our full-time workforce.~~

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides opportunities for additional liquidity and other government programs to support companies and employees affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have received certain benefits from the CARES Act, including payroll retention credits of up to $5,000 per employee for the wages and health insurance we continued to provide to team members who were not providing services during the temporary closures of our properties, a deferral of employer social security taxes for the remainder of 2020, and certain additional federal income tax benefits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $38.2 million in payroll retention credits. We will continue to review and consider any other potential benefits available under the CARES Act for which we qualify.

Overview

Red Rock was formed as a Delaware corporation in ~~September~~ 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in, and manage, Station Casinos LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Station LLC”). Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates ten major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. Four of our major properties had not reopened as of June 30, 2021, as discussed within Impact of COVID-19 below. A subsidiary of Station LLC also ~~manages~~managed Graton Resort in northern California on behalf of a Native American ~~tribe.~~ tribe through February 5, 2021.

We own all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and have an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through our ownership ~~interest~~of limited liability company interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station ~~Holdco”~~Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. ~~In May 2016, we completed an initial public offering and used the proceeds to purchase newly issued~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~limited liability company interests in Station Holdco (“LLC Units”), and outstanding LLC Units from existing members of Station Holdco.~~

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we held 61% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and we are designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. We control and operate all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conduct all of our operations through these entities. Our only material assets are our ownership interests in Station LLC and Station Holdco, other than tax-related assets and liabilities.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidation of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, and Station Holdco. The financial position and results of operations attributable to LLC Units we do not own are reported separately as noncontrolling interest.

Our principal source of revenue and operating income is gaming, and our non-gaming offerings include restaurants, hotels and other entertainment amenities. Approximately 80% to 85% of our casino revenue is generated from slot play. The majority of our revenue is cash-based and as a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flows from operations. Because our business is capital intensive, we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing and fund capital expenditures.

Information about our results of operations is included herein and in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of COVID-19

During 2020, our business was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the temporary state-mandated closure of all of our properties from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020. Although the pandemic is ongoing, on June 1, 2021, state-mandated occupancy and other operational restrictions were fully lifted, allowing us to return to pre-pandemic operating guidelines for the first time since March 2020. However, in recent weeks, there have been increases in COVID-19 cases in Las Vegas and Nevada. In late July, our properties became subject to a state-mandated rule requiring all employees and guests to wear face coverings while indoors in public spaces.

At June 30, 2021, our Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, Fiesta Henderson and Palms Casino Resort (“Palms”) properties had not reopened. We will continue to assess the performance of the reopened properties, as well as the recovery of the Las Vegas market and the economy as a whole, before considering whether to reopen some or all of the remaining properties. We have no plans to reopen any of these properties in 2021. On May 3, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell Palms for $650 million. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

In addition, our managed property, Graton Resort, located in Northern California, was temporarily closed from March 17, 2020 through June 17, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Graton Resort management agreement was originally expected to expire in November 2020 but was extended as a result of the pandemic through February 5, 2021, when the tribe terminated the Company’s management role at the facility.

Subsequent to the reopening of most of our properties in June 2020, we have seen favorable customer trends which continued throughout the second quarter of 2021, including strong and consistent visitation from our younger demographic, increased spend per visit, more time spent on gaming devices and the continued return of our core customers. These positive trends, in combination with business optimization and cost reduction measures implemented in the second quarter of 2020, continue to drive strong operating results since our reopening. However, we cannot predict whether these trends will continue, nor can we predict the extent to which the impacts of COVID-19 on the United States and Las Vegas economies may affect our business in the future.

The United States economy and the economy in the Las Vegas metropolitan area have been negatively affected by the unprecedented impacts of COVID-19. A significant portion of our business is dependent upon customers who live and/or work in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. ~~The~~In June 2021, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metropolitan area was ~~14.8% in September 2020,~~9.6%, down from a high of 34% in April 2020. Statewide, the unemployment rate ~~for September 2020~~ declined to ~~12.6%,~~7.8% in June 2021, as compared to 30% in April 2020. Despite the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas was up 21% for June 2021 as compared to the prior year. This continues a trend of significant improvement in home values in Las Vegas since 2012, with the median home price reaching another all-time high of $395,000 in June 2021 according to the Las Vegas Realtors®. In addition, Las Vegas remains one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States, posting a 1.5% growth rate in 2020. Due to uncertainties surrounding the ongoing pandemic, we cannot predict whether the recovery in unemployment and the positive trends in housing prices and population growth in the Las Vegas area will continue.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, related operational restrictions, the ~~temporary~~mandatory closure of all of our properties from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020, and the ongoing closure of four of our properties, our ~~year-over-year operating results are not comparable. Further, our~~ operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and those of the prior year ~~period were impacted by construction disruption and costs associated with the redevelopment project at Palms, which was completed in the third quarter of 2019.~~

~~Information about our results of operations is included herein and in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~periods are not comparable.

Key Performance Indicators

We use certain key indicators to measure our performance.

Gaming revenue measures:

•Slot handle and table game drop ~~and race and sports write~~ are measures of volume. Slot handle represents the dollar amount wagered in slot machines, and table game drop represents the total amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in table game drop boxes. ~~Write represents the aggregate dollar amount wagered on race and sports events.~~

•Win represents the amount of wagers retained by us.

•Hold represents win as a percentage of slot handle or table game drop.

As our customers are primarily Las Vegas residents, our hold percentages are generally consistent from period to period. Notwithstanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, fluctuations in our casino revenue are primarily due to the volume and spending levels of customers at our properties.

Food and beverage revenue measures:

•Average guest check is a measure of food sales volume and product offerings at our restaurants, and represents the average amount spent per customer visit.

•Number of guests served is an indicator of volume.

Room revenue measures:

•Occupancy is calculated by dividing occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by rooms available.

•Average daily rate (“ADR”) is calculated by dividing room revenue, which includes the retail value of complimentary rooms, by rooms occupied, including complimentary rooms.

•Revenue per available room is calculated by dividing room revenue by rooms available.

The decrease in net revenues for~~periods as we continued to recover from the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflects lower revenue from our non-gaming operations, primarily hotel and food and beverage, partially offset by a slight increase in casino revenues, as well as the impactnegative effects of the ~~ongoing closure of four of our properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenues were lower due to the mandated closure of~~COVID-19 pandemic.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, food and beverage expenses decreased by 68.6% as compared to the prior year period, which was driven primarily by the same factors as the decline in revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, food and beverage revenue decreased by 59.8% and food and beverage expenses decreased by 57.0% due to the impact of the four closed properties, primarily Palms, the ongoing closure of our buffets, and the mandated closure of all of our properties from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020.operations.

The year-over-year changes in Adjusted EBITDA were due to the factors described within Results of Operations above.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely used measure of operating performance in our industry and is a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. We believe that in addition to net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our operating performance because it provides information about the performance of our ongoing core operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, write-downs and other charges, net, ~~(including net~~asset impairment, losses ~~on asset disposals, severance, redevelopment and preopening expenses, business innovation and technology enhancements),~~from assets held for sale, interest expense, net, (gain) loss on extinguishment/modification of debt, net, change in fair value of derivative instruments, ~~(benefit)~~ provision for income tax and other.

To evaluate Adjusted EBITDA and the trends it depicts, the components should be considered. Each of these components can significantly affect our results of operations and should be considered in evaluating our operating performance,

Table of Contents

and the impact of these components cannot be determined from Adjusted EBITDA. Further, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. In addition, it should be noted that not all gaming companies that report EBITDA or adjustments to this measure may calculate

~~Table of Contents~~

EBITDA or such adjustments in the same manner as we do, and therefore, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other gaming companies.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we changed our methodology for allocating certain corporate technology expenses to our reportable segments. Historically, all technology costs incurred at the corporate level were allocated to our operating properties on a pro rata basis. Under the new methodology, only technology costs that are directly related to operating properties are allocated to those properties, and expenses associated with corporate technology initiatives remain within corporate expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, such corporate technology expenses were $3.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, such corporate technology expenses were $5.1 million and $13.6 million, respectively. The amounts for the prior year periods have been reclassified from the Las Vegas operations segment to Corporate and other within reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to conform with the current year presentation.

Holding Company Financial Information

The indentures governing the 5.00% Senior Notes and 4.50% Senior Notes contain certain covenants that require Station LLC to furnish to the holders of the notes certain annual and quarterly financial information relating to Station LLC and its subsidiaries. The obligation to furnish such information may be satisfied by providing consolidated financial information of the Company along with additional disclosure explaining the differences between such information and the financial information of Station LLC and its subsidiaries on a standalone basis. The following financial information about the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, exclusive of Station LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Holding Company”), is furnished to explain the differences between the financial information of the Holding Company and the financial information of Station LLC and its subsidiaries for the periods presented in this report. The primary differences between the financial information of the Holding Company and that of Station LLC relate to income taxes of the Holding Company and the liability relating to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”).

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the difference between the balance sheet for Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and the balance sheet for the Holding Company is that the Holding Company had cash of $0.1 million that is solely an asset of the Holding Company, as well as liabilities that are solely the Holding Company’s, consisting of a $28.0 million noncurrent liability under the TRA and $0.7 million of other current liabilities. At December 31, 2020, the Holding Company had a $27.4 million noncurrent liability under the TRA and $0.6 million of other current liabilities. At December 31, 2019, the Holding Company had cash of $0.2 million and a net deferred tax asset of $113.2 million, as well as liabilities that are solely the Holding Company’s, consisting of a $25.1 million liability under the TRA and $0.8 million of other net current liabilities.

For the three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021, the Holding Company recognized net losses of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, due to provision for income tax. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Holding Company recognized no net income or loss, and for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2020, the Holding Company recognized a net loss of ~~$113.3~~$113.2 million, ~~representing~~primarily due to a provision for income tax to establish a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Holding Company recognized net income of $0.9 million and a net loss of $0.1 million, respectively, primarily representing income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following liquidity and capital resources discussion contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations, dispositions, acquisitions, investments and subsidiaries, which involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified, and consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks described in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020.

At June 30, 2021, we had $91.0 million in cash and ~~Item 1A—Risk Factors~~ ~~in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~

We have taken steps to reduce our operating costs while our business continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic but we continue to have substantial payment obligations, including salaries, wages and employee benefits, payments with respect to our outstanding indebtedness, service contracts, property taxes, insurance and other obligations. In addition, on May 19, 2020, we announced that our board of directors had suspended the payment of dividends for the remainder of 2020.

2021.

Our primary capital requirements for the near term are expected to be related to the operation and maintenance of our properties and debt service payments. Our anticipated uses of cash for the remainder of ~~2020 are expected to~~2021 include required principal and interest payments on Station LLC’s indebtedness totaling ~~$4.1~~$12.9 million and ~~$32.1~~$45.9 million, respectively, and approximately ~~$8.0~~$65.0 million to ~~$12.0~~$75.0 million for maintenance and investment capital expenditures. In addition, we anticipate making additional cash distributions, which we refer to as “tax distributions” to the holders of LLC Units. We ~~expect~~anticipate that these tax distributions will be made quarterly and in amounts that may vary from quarter to ~~use cash on hand~~quarter. Other payment obligations include salaries, wages and ~~cash generated from operations to meet such~~employee benefits, service contracts, property taxes, insurance and other obligations. ~~At September 30,~~In May 2020, we ~~had $108.9~~suspended the payment of dividends until further notice.

In February 2019, our board of directors approved an equity repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $150 million of our Class A common stock. In February 2021, our board of directors approved an extension of the equity repurchase program through December 31, 2022. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under the program. Subject to applicable laws and the provisions of any agreements restricting our ability to do so, repurchases may be made at our

Table of Contents

discretion from time to time through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or tender offers, depending on market conditions and other factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 1,065,030 shares of our Class A common stock in open market transactions at a weighted-average price of $35.51 per share, and we have $109.4 million of remaining repurchases authorized under the program. From time to time, we may also seek to repurchase our outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases may be funded by existing cash balances or the incurrence of debt, including borrowings under our credit facility. The amount and ~~cash equivalents.~~timing of any repurchase will be based on business and market conditions, capital availability, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

We expect that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and, to the extent necessary, borrowings available under the credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements and service our outstanding indebtedness for the next twelve months. We regularly assess our projected capital requirements for capital expenditures, repayment of debt obligations, and payment of other general corporate and operational needs. In the long term, we expect that we will fund our capital requirements with a combination of cash generated from operations, borrowings under the credit facility and the issuance of debt or equity as market conditions may permit. However, our cash flow and ability to obtain debt or equity financing on terms that are satisfactory to us, or at all, may be affected by a variety of factors, including competition, general economic and business conditions and financial markets, all of which may be adversely impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we cannot provide any assurance that we will generate sufficient income and liquidity to meet all of our liquidity requirements or other obligations.

On February 7, 2020, we amended Station LLC’s credit facility to, among other things, (i) increase the borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility by $135.1 million to $1.03 billion, (ii) extend the maturity date for term loans A and B and the revolving credit facility to February 7, 2025, February 7, 2027, and February 7, 2025, respectively, (iii) reduce the interest rate margin under the term loan B by 25 basis points and (iv) increase the consolidated total leverage ratios by 0.50x, the achievement of which will result in an interest rate step-down for the term loan A and the revolving credit facility. We also issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2028 pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 7, 2020, among Station LLC, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

We are obligated to make payments under the TRA, which is described in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2020, such obligations with respect to previously consummated transactions totaled $27.4 million. Future payments in respect of any subsequent exchanges of LLC Units for Class A common stock would be in addition to these amounts and are expected to be substantial. Required TRA payments are generally limited to one payment per year, and the timing of these payments may vary. The amount of such payments is also limited to the extent we utilize the related deferred tax assets. The payments that we are required to make will generally reduce the amount of overall cash that might have otherwise been available to us, but we expect the cash tax savings we will realize from the utilization of the related deferred tax assets to fund the required payments.

In February 2019, our board of directors approved an equity repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $150 million of our Class A common stock. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under this program. Subject to applicable laws and the provisions of any agreements restricting our ability to do so, repurchases may be made at our discretion from time to time through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or tender offers, depending on market conditions and other factors. Through September 30, 2020, no repurchases were made under the program. From time to time, we may also seek to repurchase our outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases may be funded by existing cash balances or the incurrence of debt, including borrowings under our credit facility. The amount and timing of any repurchase will be based on business and market conditions, capital availability, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased $81.9 million in principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness, primarily our 4.50% and 5.00% senior notes.

Cash Flows from Operations

Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income or loss generated by our properties (excluding depreciation and other non-cash charges), interest paid and changes in working capital accounts such as inventories, prepaid expenses, receivables and payables. The majority of our revenue is generated from our slot machine and table game play, which is conducted primarily on a cash basis. Our food and beverage, room and other revenues are also primarily cash-based. As a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flow from operations.

For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$85.6~~$312.6 million as compared to ~~$216.6~~net cash used in operating activities of $56.4 million for the prior year period. ~~Operating~~For the current year period, an increase in gaming revenues, favorable customer trends and cost reduction measures implemented in the second quarter of 2020 continue to drive strong operating results. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating cash flows were negatively impacted by the ~~ongoing~~onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the mandatory temporary closure of all of our properties ~~and the continued closure of four of our properties, the effects of state-mandated occupancy and social distancing restrictions, and reduced consumer confidence, discretionary spending and travel.~~from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, cash paid for capital expenditures totaled ~~$53.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, capital expenditures were $324.4~~$20.1 million ~~which primarily were related to the redevelopment project at Palms.~~and $41.3 million, respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021, we redeemed $250.0 million in outstanding principal amount of the 5.00% Senior Notes and paid a redemption premium of $6.3 million. In addition, we paid $37.8 million to repurchase 1,065,030 shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to our equity repurchase program, and we paid cash tax distributions of $31.4 million to the noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco during the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we reduced our net borrowings under the revolving credit facility by ~~$360.0~~$92.5 million and we issued $750.0 million in principal amount of 4.50% ~~senior notes due 2028.~~Senior Notes. In addition, we repaid ~~$334.9~~$332.5 million of outstanding borrowings under our term loans and we paid ~~$68.2~~$53.4 million to repurchase ~~$81.9~~$66.4 million in principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness, primarily our senior notes.

~~During~~ the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred net borrowings under~~issuance of the revolving credit facility of $212.1 million. For the same period, we paid $20.9 million in dividends to Class A common shareholders and $14.1 million in cash distributions to the noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco.4.50% Senior Notes.

Restrictive Covenants

The agreements governing our credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, obtain additional debt or equity financing due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements. In addition, our credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio and adherence to a maximum total leverage ratio. AsDuring the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes made to the covenants included in the credit facility or the indentures governing the senior notes as described in Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the amendment of the credit facility in February 2020 included changes to certain financial ratio covenants that Station LLC is required to maintain throughout the term of the facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no other changes to the covenants included in the credit facility or the indentures governing the senior notes.2020. We believe that as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, Station LLC was in compliance with the covenants contained in the credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes. However, the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and results of operations may negatively impact our ability to remain in compliance with such covenants.

As a result of these covenants and restrictions, we are limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to provide liquidity if the COVID-19 pandemic, measures implemented to curtail its spread, changes in the economy, discretionary spending and consumer confidence have a protracted negative effect on our business. In addition, such covenants and restrictions may limit our ability to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. Further, our ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and industry conditions resulting from COVID-19 related preventative or protective actions.

Failure to satisfy the covenants contained in the credit agreements, indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness would require us to seek waivers or amendments of such covenants. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain required waivers or amendments, as such matters depend, in part, on factors outside of our control. If we fail to

~~Table of Contents~~

satisfy our covenants and are unable to obtain such waivers or amendments, our creditors could exercise remedies under the applicable documents governing such indebtedness, including acceleration of such indebtedness.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had no variable interests in unconsolidated entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development arrangements with us, nor did we have retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. Our derivative instruments ~~comprise~~comprised interest rate swaps as described in Note 87 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations totaling ~~$32.6~~$29.4 million.

~~Contractual Obligations~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than the February 2020 amendment to Station LLC’s credit facility and the issuance of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2028. These transactions are described in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Native American Development

We have development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians, a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, pursuant to which we will assist the tribe in developing and operating a gaming and entertainment facility to be located on Highway 99 north of the city of Madera, California. See Note 54 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about this project.

Regulation and Taxes

We are subject to extensive regulation by Nevada gaming authorities as well as the National Indian Gaming Commission and the California Gambling Control ~~Commission and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Gaming~~ Commission. In addition, we will be subject to regulation, which may or may not be similar to that in Nevada, by any other jurisdiction in which we may conduct gaming activities in the future.

The gaming industry represents a significant source of tax revenue, particularly to the State of Nevada and its counties and municipalities. From time to time, various state and federal legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax law, or in the administration of such law, affecting the gaming industry. The Nevada legislature meets every two years for 120 days and when special sessions are called by the Governor. The most recent ~~regular~~ legislative session ended inon June ~~2019.~~1, 2021. There are currently no specific legislative proposals to increase taxes on gaming revenue, but there are no assurances that an increase in taxes on gaming or other revenue will not be proposed and passed by the Nevada legislature in the future.

Forward-looking Statements

The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in the closure of all of our casino properties and all other casino properties located in Nevada from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020. We reopened the majority of our properties on June 4, 2020, but certain of our properties will remain closed until we determine when and if to reopen them based on our analysis of a number of

Although restrictions on operations to implement social distancing and other health and safety ~~protocols.~~protocols were progressively lifted through June 1, 2021, certain restrictions have since been reimposed, and there is no guarantee that additional measures will not be re-implemented in connection with rising cases of COVID-19.

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. There have been no material changes in our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Table of Contents

LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021. The interest rate per annum applicable to loans under our credit facility is, at our option, either LIBOR plus a margin or a base rate plus a margin. The credit facility permits the administrative agent to approve a comparable or successor base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued, but there can be no assurances as to what the alternative base rate may be and whether such base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR or any other unforeseen impacts of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. We intend to continue monitoring the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and are working with our lenders to ensure the transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the

~~Table of Contents~~

Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits relating to routine matters incidental to their business. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such matters and litigation inherently involves significant risks.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~In addition to the information set forth below, refer to~~There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The ~~COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. Such negative impacts could continue for an extended period of time and may worsen.~~

On March 13, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic the United States government declared a national state of emergency. In an effort to help control the spread of COVID-19, public health officials implemented social distancing and sheltering-in-place requirements. As a result of orders implemented by Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, all of our properties were closed from March 17, 2020 through June 3, 2020. We reopened the majority of our properties on June 4, 2020, but Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, Fiesta Henderson and Palms will remain closed untilfollowing table presents Class A share repurchases, including those we determine when and if to reopen them based on our analysis of a number of factors, including the health of the economy as a whole, the health of the Las Vegas economy, customer demand, expense of operating the properties and restrictions on operations to implement social distancing and other health and safety protocols.

While we are currently operating the majority of our properties, shelter-in-place or other governmental orders or directives could require us to close the properties that are currently operating in the future. In addition, we cannot predict when our properties that remain closed will reopen or will remain operating when and if we decide to reopen those properties. Social distancing measures have resulted in restrictions on our operations, including limiting the number of customers present in our facilities or within certain areas and reduced gaming operations, implementation of additional health and safety measures, such as enhanced cleaning protocols, restrictions on hotel, food and beverage outlets and limits on concerts, conventions or special events. These measures have had a material adverse impact on our ability to attract customersmade pursuant to our ~~properties and our results~~equity repurchase program as well as those withheld in satisfaction of ~~operations.~~tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock. The Class A shares were retired upon repurchase.

Our future financial results and cash flows will continue to be impacted by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including the duration and extent of social distancing measures, the possibility that governmental regulations and directives enacted in the future may require one or more of our properties to close or place additional restrictions on the operations of our properties, the impact of such measures on our ability to operate our casinos profitably or at all and our ability to adjust our cost structure to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations. Restrictions that are currently in place, and additional restrictions implemented in the future, in response to COVID-19 or other public health emergencies could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We may also face unforeseen liability or be subject to additional obligations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of claims alleging exposure to COVID-19 in connection with our operations or facilities or to the extent we are subject to a governmental enforcement action as a result of failing to comply with applicable health and safety regulations. COVID-19 has materially adversely affected the economy and financial markets of the United States and the world and has resulted in widespread unemployment in the United States. We are particularly sensitive to downturns in the economy and the associated impact on discretionary spending on leisure activities which bring demand for casino hotel properties such as ours. We also expect that visitation to our casino hotel properties will continue to be impacted by travel restrictions or warnings and consumer concerns about visiting public places.The duration and impact of the economic downturn, widespread unemployment and consumer fears on overall customer demand and on our properties cannot reasonably be determined but may be protracted and could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.(1) Excludes commissions.

~~The impact~~(2) In February 2019, our board of directors approved an equity repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $150 million of our Class A common stock. In February 2021, the board of directors extended its approval of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of exacerbating many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended~~equity repurchase program through December 31, 2019. As a result of the foregoing, we cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration and impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our results of operations, but we expect that it will continue to have a material impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations (including revenues and profitability) and stock price.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented aggressive cost reduction and efficiency improvement measures, which could adversely affect the loyalty of our guests and our ability to attract and retain employees.

We have taken steps to reduce our operating costs and improve efficiencies as a result of our property closures and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may undertake additional steps in the future. Such steps may harm our reputation by adversely impacting guest loyalty and our ability to attract and retain employees. While we have retained a majority of our full-time team members, our reduced operations and continued closure of a number of our properties has resulted in long term reductions in our full-time workforce. When the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we may experience difficulties in resuming normal operations.

~~Our ability to remain in compliance with our covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness and our liquidity may be negatively impacted bythe COVID-19 pandemic, measures implemented to curtail its spread, and changes in the economy, discretionary spending and consumer confidence.~~

We rely on our casino operations as a primary source of income and operating cash flows to remain in compliance with covenants contained in the documents governing our outstanding indebtedness. At September 30, 2020 we were in compliance with such covenants; however, our ability to remain in compliance with the covenants contained in such agreements may be negatively impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic, measures implemented to curtail its spread, and changes in the economy, discretionary spending and consumer confidence have a protracted negative effect on our business. Failure to satisfy such debt covenants would require us to seek waivers or amendments of such covenants. If we are unable to obtain such waivers or amendments, our creditors would be entitled to exercise remedies under the documents governing such obligations, including acceleration of the outstanding principal amount of such indebtedness. In addition, while we believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to provide liquidity to meet our obligations during the current period that our operations are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to make required payments under our outstanding indebtedness or other obligations may be impacted by additional measures that we are required to take in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread unemployment and disruption to the economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to provide liquidity if the COVID-19 pandemic, measures implemented to curtail its spread, and changes in the economy, discretionary spending and consumer confidence have a protracted negative effect on our business.
