ITEM 2.02
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

The following information is being furnished under Item 2.02 — Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 22, 2015, Las Vegas Sands Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this item.

Within the Company’s second quarter 2015 press release, the Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures including “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per diluted share,” and “adjusted property EBITDA,” which have directly comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures along with “hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA,” “hold-normalized adjusted net income,” and “hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share.” The Company believes that these measures represent important internal measures of financial performance. Whenever such information is presented, the Company has complied with the provisions of the rules under Regulation G and Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. The specific reasons why the Company’s management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are as follows:

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share are presented as supplemental disclosures as management believes they are (1) each widely used measures of performance by industry analysts and investors and (2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies, as these non-GAAP measures are considered by many as an alternative measure on which to base expectations for future results. These measures also form the basis of certain internal management performance expectations. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are presented so that investors have the same financial data that management uses in evaluating financial performance with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying financial performance of the Company on a year-over-year and a quarter sequential basis.

Adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In particular, management utilizes adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of its casinos with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. The Company is also presenting adjusted property EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company’s ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their EBITDA calculations. When evaluating adjusted property EBITDA, investors should consider, among other factors, (1) increasing or decreasing trends in adjusted property EBITDA and (2) how adjusted property EBITDA compares to levels of debt and interest expense. However, adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, interest payments and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, adjusted property EBITDA as presented by Las Vegas Sands Corp. may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted property EBITDA consists of adjusted EBITDA for a particular property, such as The Venetian and The Palazzo in Las Vegas, The Venetian Macao, the Sands Macao, the Four Seasons Hotel Macao and Plaza Casino, and Sands Cotai Central in Macao and the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Accordingly, the measures are presented so that investors have the same financial data that management uses in evaluating performance with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of the Company on a year-over-year and a quarter sequential basis.

Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance. In addition to the aforementioned reasons for the presentation of adjusted property EBITDA in the Company’s financial reporting, hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA is presented to adjust for the impact of certain variances in table games’ win percentages, which can vary from period to period. The hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA measure presents a consistent measure for evaluating the operating performance of our properties from period to period and has been presented so that investors have the same financial data that management uses in evaluating performance with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of the Company on a year-over-year and quarter sequential basis.



Hold-normalized adjusted net income and hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share are additional supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate the Company’s operations and operating performance. In addition to the aforementioned reasons for the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented to adjust for the impact of certain variances in table games’ win percentages, which can vary from period to period. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are presented so that investors have the same financial data that management uses in evaluating financial performance with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying financial performance of the Company on a year-over-year and a quarter sequential basis.

Las Vegas, NV (July 22, 2015) — Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.


Second Quarter Overview

Mr. Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “While the operating environment in Macao, particularly in the high-end gaming segments, remained challenging during the quarter, our focus on the higher margin mass and non-gaming segments and the geographic diversification of our cash flows allowed us to again deliver in excess of one billion U.S. dollars of Adjusted Property EBITDA during the quarter and weather this cyclical downturn better than the industry overall.  Despite the current headwinds in the Macao market, we remain sharply focused on the consistent execution of our global growth strategy, which leverages the power of our unique convention-based Integrated Resort business model.

“Our convention-based Integrated Resort business model appeals to the broadest set of customers, generates the most diversified set of cash flows, and delivers the industry’s highest revenue and profit from non-gaming segments while bringing unsurpassed economic and diversification benefits to the regions in which we operate.  We remain confident in our ability to both further extend our global leadership position and deliver strong growth in the future.

“The prudent management of our cash flow, including the ability to increase the return of capital to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity to invest in future growth opportunities, remains a cornerstone of our strategy.”

The company paid a recurring quarterly dividend of $0.65 per common share during the quarter, an increase of 30.0% compared to the second quarter of 2014. The company also announced that its next recurring quarterly dividend of $0.65 per common share will be paid on September 30, 2015, to Las Vegas Sands shareholders of record on September 22, 2015.  That dividend represents an increase of 30.0% compared to the dividend paid in the third quarter of 2014. Additionally, since the inception of the company’s share repurchase program in June 2013, the company has returned $2.30 billion to shareholders through the repurchase of 32.3 million shares, including $65.0 million of common stock (1.3 million shares at a weighted average price of $50.46) during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Mr. Adelson added, “In Macao, we welcomed more than 16 million visits to our Macao property portfolio and delivered strong growth in the high-margin retail mall business.  Notwithstanding a challenging environment in the VIP and premium mass gaming segments, we delivered $559.8 million in adjusted property EBITDA across our Macao property portfolio in the second quarter.  We remain confident that our market-leading Cotai Strip properties, which will be complemented in the future by The Parisian Macao and the St. Regis tower at Sands Cotai Central, will continue to provide the economic benefits of diversification to Macao, help attract greater numbers of business and leisure travelers and provide an outstanding and diversified platform for growth in the years ahead.”

In Singapore, Marina Bay Sands generated record mass gaming win-per-day in local currency terms in the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted property EBITDA decreased to $363.3 million in the current quarter as healthy growth in mass gaming win was offset by a decrease in Rolling Chip win (partially due to a lower Rolling Chip win percentage compared to the prior-year quarter) and the negative impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA increased 6.1% on a constant-currency basis.
 

Company-Wide Operating Results

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 19.4% to $2.92 billion, compared to $3.62 billion in the second quarter of 2014. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA of $1.02 billion decreased 22.6% in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the year-ago quarter.  On a hold-normalized basis, adjusted property EBITDA decreased 16.8% to $1.01 billion in the second quarter of 2015.

On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, operating income in the second quarter of 2015 decreased 28.3% to $689.3 million, compared to $961.5 million in the second quarter of 2014.  The decrease in operating income was principally due to softer results across the company's Macao property portfolio.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands in the second quarter of 2015 decreased 30.1% to $469.2 million, compared to $671.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, while diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2015 decreased 28.9% to $0.59, compared to $0.83 in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands reflected the decline in operating income described above, offset by a $69.1 million decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted net income (see Note 1) decreased to $481.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $690.4 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014.


Sands China Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results

On a GAAP basis, total net revenues for Sands China Ltd. decreased 25.6% to $1.77 billion in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $2.38 billion in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted property EBITDA for Sands China Ltd. decreased 29.5% to $564.5 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $800.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Net income for Sands China Ltd. decreased 37.3% to $388.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $620.2 million in the second quarter of 2014.

The Venetian Macao Second Quarter Operating Results

Despite the softer gaming market in Macao, The Venetian Macao continued to enjoy Macao market-leading visitation and financial performance. The property generated adjusted property EBITDA of $255.0 million in the second quarter with an EBITDA margin of 34.5%.  Non-Rolling Chip drop was $1.68 billion for the quarter with a Non-Rolling Chip win percentage of 26.0%.  Rolling Chip volume during the quarter decreased 38.1% to $7.63 billion.  Rolling Chip win percentage was 3.07% in the quarter, below the 3.45% experienced in the prior-year quarter. Slot handle decreased 27.7% compared to the second quarter of 2014 to $973.2 million.  Mall revenues increased 14.9% during the quarter to reach $48.5 million.

Within the company’s second quarter 2015 press release, the company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures including “adjusted net income,” “hold-normalized adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per diluted share,” “hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share,” “adjusted property EBITDA,” and “hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA.”  Whenever such information is presented, the company has complied with the provisions of the rules under Regulation G and Item 2.02 of Form 8-K.  The specific reasons why the company’s management believes that the presentation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows has been provided in the Form 8-K filed in connection with this press release.

 
Adjusted property EBITDA consists of operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal of assets, pre-opening expense, development expense, royalty fees, stock-based compensation and corporate expense.  Reconciliations of GAAP operating income (loss) and GAAP net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands Corp. to adjusted property EBITDA and hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

For Macao Property Operations and Marina Bay Sands, this represents the estimated incremental casino revenue related to Rolling volume play that would have been earned or lost had the Company's current period win percentage equaled 2.85%.  This calculation will only be done if the current period win percentage is outside the expected range of 2.7% to 3.0%.
 
For the Las Vegas Operating Properties, this represents the estimated incremental casino revenue related to all table games play that would have been earned or lost had the Company's current period win percentage equaled 25.0% for Baccarat and 18.0% for non-Baccarat for 2015 and 26.0% for Baccarat and 16.0% for non-Baccarat for 2014.  This calculation will only be done if the current period win percentages for Baccarat and non-Baccarat are outside the expected ranges of 21.0% to 29.0% and 16.0% to 20.0%, respectively, for 2015 and 22.0% to 30.0% and 14.0% to 18.0%, respectively, for 2014.
