5Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis OVERVIEW Wynn Macau opened to the public on 6 September 2006 at the center of casino activities on the urban Macau peninsula. In December 2007 and November 2009, Wynn Macau completed expansions, adding more gaming space and additional food and beverage and retail amenities. Encore at Wynn Macau, a further expansion of Wynn Macau that added a fully integrated resort hotel, opened in April 2010. Our Macau resort complex features: • Approximately 284,000 square feet of casino space, offering 24-hour gaming and a full range of games, including private gaming salons, sky casinos and a poker pit; • Two luxury hotel towers with a total of 1,008 spacious rooms and suites; • Casual and fine dining in eight restaurants; • Approximately 57,000 square feet of high-end, brand-name retail shopping, including stores and boutiques such as Bvlgari, Cartier, Chanel, Dior, Dunhill, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ferrari, Giorgio Armani, Graff, Gucci, Hermes, Hugo Boss, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Loro Piana, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Piaget, Prada, Richard Mille, Roger Dubuis, Rolex, Tiffany, Vacheron Constantin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Versace, Vertu, and others; • Recreation and leisure facilities, including two health clubs and spas, a salon, and a pool; and • Approximately 31,000 square feet of lounges and meeting facilities. The following table presents the number of casino games available at our Macau Operations: As at 30 June 2015 2014 VIP table games 237 256 Mass market table games 208 200 Slot machines 693 613 Poker tables 13 9 In response to on-going evaluation of our operations and the feedback from our guests, we have been making, and will continue to make enhancements and refinements to our resort complex. In February 2015, we completed the renovation of approximately 27,000 square feet of our casino space at Wynn Macau for new VIP gaming rooms.
6 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Cotai Development — Wynn Palace The Group is currently constructing Wynn Palace, an integrated resort containing an approximately 1,700-room hotel, a performance lake, meeting space, a casino, a spa, retail offerings and food and beverage outlets in the Cotai area of Macau. The total project budget is approximately HK$31 billion including construction costs, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses, land costs and financing fees. As at 30 June 2015, we have invested approximately HK$20.6 billion in the project. The Company expects to open Wynn Palace in the first half of 2016. On 29 July 2013, WRM and Palo finalized and executed a guaranteed maximum price construction (“GMP”) contract with Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited, acting as the general contractor. Under the GMP contract, the general contractor is responsible for both the construction and design of the Wynn Palace project. The general contractor is obligated to substantially complete the project in the first half of 2016 for a guaranteed maximum price of HK$20 billion. Our general contractor has notified us that it will not achieve the early completion milestone on 25 January 2016. However, the general contractor stated it remains on schedule to complete the project on or before the substantial completion date. We continue to expect to open Wynn Palace in the first half of 2016. Both the contract time and guaranteed maximum price are subject to further adjustment under certain specified conditions. The performance of the general contractor is backed by a full completion guarantee given by Leighton Holdings Limited, the parent company of the general contractor, as well as a performance bond for equal to 5% of the guaranteed maximum price. Macau Macau, which was a territory under Portuguese administration for approximately 450 years, was transferred from Portuguese to Chinese political control in December 1999. Macau is governed as a special administrative region of China and is located approximately 37 miles southwest of, and approximately one hour away via ferry from, Hong Kong. Macau, which has been a casino destination for more than 50 years, consists principally of a peninsula on mainland China, and two neighboring islands, Taipa and Coloane between which the Cotai area is located. We believe that Macau is located in one of the world’s largest concentrations of potential gaming customers, despite a recent decline in gaming revenues. According to Macau statistical information, casinos in Macau, the largest gaming market in the world, generated approximately HK$118.1 billion in gaming revenue during the six months ended 30 June 2015, a decrease of approximately 37.0% compared to the approximate HK$187.5 billion generated in the six months ended 30 June 2014.
7Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Tourism The levels of tourism and overall gaming activities in Macau are key drivers of our business. Both the Macau gaming market and visitation to Macau grew significantly leading up to 2014. However, beginning in 2014, the Macau gaming market experienced its first year-over-year decline in annual gaming revenues since its liberalization in 2002, despite the increase in tourist arrivals to Macau, by 7.5% in 2014 as compared to 2013. Commencing from the fourth quarter of 2014, tourist arrivals to Macau have experienced a downward trend. Statistics show a decrease of 3.5% from 15.3 million in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to 14.8 million in the six months ended 30 June 2015. The decrease in tourist arrivals to Macau and a change in their spending habits and gaming activities have contributed to the further reduction in gaming revenues in Macau for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The Macau market has experienced tremendous growth in capacity since the opening of Wynn Macau. As at 31 May 2015, there were 29,900 hotel rooms and as at 30 June 2015, there were 5,814 table games and 14,192 slots in Macau, compared to 12,978 hotel rooms and 2,762 table games and 6,546 slots as at 31 December 2006. Gaming customers traveling to Macau typically come from nearby destinations in Asia including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. According to the Macau Statistics and Census Service Monthly Bulletin of Statistics, approximately 90.8% of visitors to Macau for the six months ended 30 June 2015 were from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Tourism levels in Macau are affected by a number of factors, all of which are beyond our control. Key factors affecting tourism levels in Macau may include, among others: • Prevailing economic conditions in mainland China and Asia; • Restrictions, conditions or other factors which affect visitation by citizens of mainland China to Macau; • Various countries’ policies on currency exchange controls and currency export restrictions, for example on the Renminbi, the currency of the PRC, and the issuance of travel visas that may be in place from time to time; • Competition from other destinations which offer gaming and leisure activities; • Occurrence of natural disasters and disruption of travel; and • Possible outbreaks of infectious disease.
8 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Economic and Operating Environment A significant number of our gaming customers at Wynn Macau come from mainland China. Any economic disruption or contraction in China could disrupt the number of patrons visiting our property or the amount they may be willing to spend. In addition, policies adopted from time to time by the Chinese government, including any travel restrictions imposed by China on its citizens such as restrictions imposed on exit visas granted to residents of mainland China for travel to Macau, could disrupt the number of visitors from mainland China to our property. Furthermore, the Chinese government’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign has influenced the behavior of Chinese consumers and their spending patterns both domestically and abroad. The campaign has specifically led to tighter currency transfer regulations, including real time monitoring of certain financial channels, which has disrupted the number of visitors and the amount of money they can bring from mainland China to Macau. The overall effect of the campaign and monetary transfer restrictions has resulted in decreased visitation and negatively affect our revenues and results of operations. Competition Since the liberalization of Macau’s gaming industry in 2002, there has been a significant increase in the number of casino properties in Macau. There are six gaming operators in Macau, including WRM. The three concessionaires are WRM, SJM, and Galaxy. The three subconcessionaires are Melco Crown, MGM Macau, and Venetian Macau. As at 30 June 2015, there were approximately 35 casinos in Macau, including 20 operated by SJM. Each of the six gaming operators has operating casinos and expansion plans underway. Wynn Macau also faces competition from casinos located in other areas of Asia, such as Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and Resorts World Genting, located outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Wynn Macau also faces competition from casinos in the Philippines such as Solaire Resort and Casino and City of Dreams Manila. Several other major casino resorts are scheduled to open over the next few years. Wynn Macau also encounters competition from other major gaming centers located around the world, including Australia and Las Vegas, cruise ships in Asia that offer gaming, and other casinos throughout Asia. Further, if current efforts to legalize gaming in other Asian countries are successful, Wynn Macau will face additional regional competition.
9Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis Gaming Promoters A significant amount of our casino play is brought to us by gaming promoters. Gaming promoters have historically played a critical role in the Macau gaming market and are important to our casino business. Gaming promoters introduce premium VIP players to Wynn Macau and often assist those players with their travel and entertainment arrangements. In addition, gaming promoters often grant credit to their players. In exchange for their services, Wynn Macau generally pays the gaming promoters a commission which is a percentage of the gross gaming win generated by each gaming promoter. Approximately 80% of these commissions are netted against casino revenues, because such commissions approximate the amount of the commission returned to the VIP players by the gaming promoters, and approximately 20% of these commissions are included in other operating expenses, which approximate the amount of the commission ultimately retained by the gaming promoters as compensation. The total amount of commissions paid to gaming promoters and netted against casino revenues was HK$2.0 billion and HK$4.0 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014, respectively. Commissions decreased 50.5% for the six months ended 30 June 2015 compared to the six months ended 30 June 2014 as VIP gross table games win decreased due to decreased business volumes. We typically advance commissions to gaming promoters at the beginning of each month to facilitate their working capital requirements. These advances are provided to a gaming promoter and are offset by the commissions earned by such gaming promoter during the applicable month. The aggregate amounts of exposure to our gaming promoters, which is the difference between commissions advanced to each individual gaming promoter, and the commissions payable to each such gaming promoter, were HK$509.6 million and HK$683.5 million as at 30 June 2015 and 2014, respectively. At the end of each month any commissions outstanding are cleared no later than the fifth business day of the succeeding month and prior to the advancement of any further funds to a gaming promoter. We believe we have developed strong relationships with our gaming promoters. Our commission percentages have remained stable throughout our operating history. In addition to commissions, gaming promoters each receive a monthly complimentary allowance based on a percentage of the turnover its clients generate. The allowance is available for room, food and beverage and other products and services for discretionary use with the gaming promoter’s clients.
10 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Given present market conditions in Macau and certain economic and other factors occurring in the region, gaming promoters have encountered difficulties in attracting patrons to come to Macau. Further, gaming promoters have experienced decreased liquidity, limiting their ability to grant credit to their patrons, resulting in decreased gaming volumes in Macau and at Wynn Macau. Credit already extended by our gaming promoters to their patrons may become difficult for them to collect. The inability to attract sufficient patrons, grant credit and collect amounts due in a timely manner can negatively affect our gaming promoters’ operations, cause gaming promoters to wind up or liquidate their operations or result in our gaming promoters leaving Macau, and as a result, our results of operations could be adversely impacted. Premium Credit Play We selectively extend credit to our VIP players contingent upon our marketing team’s knowledge of the players, their financial background and payment history. We follow a series of credit procedures and require various signed documents from each credit recipient that are intended to ensure, among other things, that if permitted by applicable law, the debt can be legally enforced in the jurisdiction where the player resides. In the event the player does not reside in a jurisdiction where gaming debts are legally enforceable, we can attempt to assert jurisdiction over assets the player maintains in jurisdictions where gaming debts are recognized. In addition, we typically require a check in the amount of the applicable credit line from credit players, collateralizing the credit we grant. Number and Mix of Table Games and Slot Machines The mix of VIP table games, mass table games and slot machines in operation at our resort changes from time to time as a result of marketing and operating strategies in response to changing market demand and industry competition. The shift in the mix of our games will affect casino profitability.
11Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis ADJUSTED EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before finance costs, finance revenues, net foreign currency differences, changes in fair value of interest rate swaps, taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre- opening costs, property charges and other, share-based payments, Wynn Macau, Limited corporate expenses, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because our Directors believe that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA presented herein also differs from the Adjusted Property EBITDA presented by Wynn Resorts, Limited for its Macau segment in its filings with the SEC, primarily due to the inclusion of license fees, adjustments for IFRS differences with U.S. GAAP, corporate support and other support services in arriving at operating profit. The following table sets forth a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable IFRS measurement, operating profit, for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014.

14 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis The following table presents a reconciliation of net non-casino revenues as reported in our condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income to gross non-casino revenues calculated on the adjusted basis. The adjusted non-casino revenues as presented below are used for management reporting purposes and are not representative of revenues as determined under IAS 18.

(4) Daily gross win per gaming table and daily win per slot are presented in this table on the basis of the average number of gaming tables and average number of slots, respectively, over the number of days Wynn Macau and Encore were open in the applicable period. In addition, the total table games win figures used herein do not correspond to casino revenues figures in our financial information because figures in our financial information are calculated net of commissions and the total table games win herein is calculated before commissions.
15Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis Discussion of Results of Operations Financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 compared to financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2014 Operating Revenues Total operating revenues decreased 36.9% from HK$16.2 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$10.3 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2015. This decrease was primarily due to lower gaming volume in our VIP casino in the six months ended 30 June 2015 compared to the six months ended 30 June 2014. Casino Revenues Casino revenues decreased 37.3% from HK$15.4 billion (94.6% of total operating revenues) in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$9.6 billion (93.8% of total operating revenues) in the six months ended 30 June 2015. The components and reasons are as follows: VIP casino gaming operations.

Our room revenues, which exclude promotional allowances in our condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, decreased by 5.1% from HK$65.6 million in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$62.3 million in the six months ended 30 June 2015.

Gaming taxes and premiums decreased by 39.3% from HK$7.8 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$4.7 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2015. This decrease was due primarily to decreased gross gaming win. WRM is subject to a 35% gaming tax on gross gaming win. In addition, WRM is required to pay 4% of its gross gaming win as contributions for public development and social facilities. Staff costs. Staff costs increased by 4.0%, from HK$1.5 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$1.6 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2015. This increase in staff costs was primarily due to general salary increment and additional staff benefits in the form of non-vested Shares of the Company. Additionally, the Company is carrying excess headcount above the needs for its current operations as the Company prepares for the opening of Wynn Palace.
18 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses decreased by 31.8% from HK$2.5 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$1.7 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2015. Provision for doubtful accounts increased from a benefit during the six months ended 30 June 2014 to a provision for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The increase was primarily a result of additional reserves based on specific review of customer accounts during the six months ended 30 June 2015 and a benefit from adjustments made to provision for doubtful accounts based on the results of historical collection patterns and current collection trends in the same period of 2014. For the six months ended 30 June 2015, the increase in provision for doubtful accounts, repairs and maintenance and operating rental expense, other support services, auditors’ remuneration and other operating expenses were offset by reductions in business volume related expense such as gaming promoters’ commissions, license fees and cost of sales. Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization in the six months ended 30 June 2014 increased 8.4% from HK$485.9 million to HK$526.9 million in the six months ended 30 June 2015. The increase was primarily due to additional depreciation associated with building improvements of our casino space at Wynn Macau for new VIP gaming rooms. Property charges and other. Property charges and other decreased from HK$81.0 million in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$0.3 million in the six months ended 30 June 2015. Amounts in each period represent the gain/loss on the sale of equipment and other asset as well as costs related to assets retired or abandoned as a result of renovating certain assets of Wynn Macau in response to customer preferences and changes in market demand. As a result of the foregoing, total operating costs and expenses decreased by 31.0%, from HK$12.3 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$8.5 billion in the six months ended 30 June 2015. Finance Revenues Finance revenues decreased from HK$73.9 million in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$18.9 million in the six months ended 30 June 2015. The decrease was primarily due to holding lower average cash balances for the six months ended 30 June 2015 compared to the six months ended 30 June 2014. During 2015 and 2014, our short-term investment strategy has been to preserve capital while retaining sufficient liquidity. The majority of our short-term investments were primarily in time deposits and fixed deposits with a maturity of three months or less.
19Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis Finance Costs Finance costs increased by 1.5%, from HK$295.7 million in the six months ended 30 June 2014 to HK$300.1 million in the six months ended 30 June 2015. Finance costs increased in the six months ended 30 June 2015 primarily due to the issuance of the WML 2021 Notes with the aggregate principal amount of US$750 million (approximately HK$5.9 billion) in March 2014 and the drawing of a total of approximately HK$4.2 billion under the senior secured revolving credit facility during the period from December 2014 through June 2015, partially offset by the increase in capitalized interest related to the construction of Wynn Palace. Interest Rate Swaps As required under the terms of the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities, we entered into agreements to swap the interest on our loans from floating to fixed rates. These transactions did not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase or decrease in swap fair value during each period. During the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014, we recorded a loss of HK$44.4 million and a loss of HK$29.6 million, respectively, resulting from the movement in the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Income Tax Expense In the six months ended 30 June 2015, our income tax expense was HK$3.2 million compared to an income tax expense of HK$12.5 million in the six months ended 30 June 2014. Our tax expense for the six months ended 30 June 2015 primarily relates to the current tax expense recorded by our subsidiaries owning WRM’s shares under the WRM Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement and a deferred tax benefit resulting from a decrease in the deferred tax liability for property and equipment. In the six months ended 30 June 2014, our income tax expense relates to the current tax expense of our subsidiaries owning WRM’s shares under the WRM Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement and a deferred tax expense resulting from an increase in the deferred tax liability for property and equipment. Net Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company As a result of the foregoing, compared to HK$3.6 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2014, net profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$1.4 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

Net cash from operating activities was HK$0.4 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2015, compared to HK$2.9 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2014. Operating profit was HK$1.8 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2015, compared to HK$3.9 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2014. The decline in net cash from operating activities was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating profit, as well as unfavorable changes in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities Net cash used in investing activities was HK$6.1 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2015, compared to net cash used in investing activities of HK$1.3 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2014.

Major expenditures in the six months ended 30 June 2014 included capital expenditures of HK$3.0 billion for both Wynn Palace construction costs and renovations to enhance and refine the Macau Operations, partially offset by a HK$1.6 billion reduction in restricted cash. Net cash (used in) generated from financing activities Net cash used in financing activities was HK$2.6 billion during the six months ended 30 June 2015, compared to HK$447.7 million net cash from financing activities during the six months ended 30 June 2014. During the six months ended 30 June 2015, the net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to a HK$5.4 billion special dividend payment made in March 2015, HK$248.7 million for interest payments and a HK$118.0 million payment for land premiums, partially offset by receipts of HK$3.2 billion in proceeds from the senior revolving credit facility. During the six months ended 30 June 2014, the net cash from financing activities was primarily due to the Company’s receipt of HK$5.9 billion in proceeds from the WML 2021 Notes, partially offset by a HK$5.1 billion dividend payment made in June 2014. Indebtedness The following table presents a summary of our indebtedness as at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014.

24 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Wynn Macau Credit Facilities Overview As at 30 June 2015, the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities consisted of approximately HK$19.5 billion in a combination of Hong Kong dollar and U.S. dollar facilities, including an approximately HK$7.4 billion fully funded senior term loan facility and an approximately HK$12.1 billion senior revolving credit facility. The facilities may be used for a variety of purposes, including investment in our Wynn Palace project, further enhancements at our resort and general corporate purposes. The HK$7.4 billion equivalent term loan facility matures in July 2018 with the principal amount of the term loan to be repaid in two installments in July 2017 and July 2018. The final maturity for the revolving credit facility is July 2017, by which date any outstanding revolving loans must be repaid. The senior secured facilities bear interest at a rate of LIBOR or HIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% and 2.50% depending on WRM’s leverage ratio. Security and Guarantees Borrowings under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Palo and by certain subsidiaries of the Company that own equity interests in WRM, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of WRM, the equity interests in WRM and substantially all of the assets of Palo. With respect to the Concession Agreement and WRM’s land concession agreement, the WRM lenders have certain cure rights and consultation rights with the Macau government in the event of an enforcement action by the lenders. Second Ranking Lender WRM is also party to a bank guarantee reimbursement agreement with Banco National Ultramarino S.A. to secure a guarantee in favor of the Macau government as required under the Concession Agreement. The amount of this guarantee is MOP300 million (approximately HK$291.3 million) and it lasts until 180 days after the end of the term of the Concession Agreement. The guarantee assures WRM’s performance under the Concession Agreement, including the payment of certain premiums, fines and indemnities for breach. The guarantee is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral package securing the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities.
25Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis Other Terms The Wynn Macau Credit Facilities contain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for casino development financings in Macau. The Directors confirm that there is no non-compliance with the financial covenants or general covenants contained in the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. The Company is not a party to the credit facilities agreement and related agreements and has no rights or obligations thereunder. WML 2021 Notes The Company has issued 5.25% fixed rate, unsecured senior notes due on 15 October 2021 with an aggregate principal amount of US$1.35 billion (approximately HK$10.5 billion). The Company may use the net proceeds from the offering of the WML 2021 Notes for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. The WML 2021 Notes are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and conditions, such as interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign Currency Exchange Risks The financial statements of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars, the Company’s functional and presentation currency, for incorporation into the condensed consolidated financial information. The majority of our assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars and Macau patacas, and there are no significant assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing foreign exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income, expenditures and cash flow items are measured at the actual foreign exchange rates or average foreign exchange rates for the period. The Hong Kong dollar is linked to the U.S. dollar and the exchange rate between these two currencies has remained relatively stable over the past several years. The Macau pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar, and in many cases the two currencies are used interchangeably in Macau. However, the exchange linkages of the Hong Kong dollar and the Macau pataca, and the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar, are subject to potential changes due to, among other things, changes in governmental policies and international economic and political developments.
26 Wynn Macau, Limited Management Discussion and Analysis Interest Rate Risks One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our credit facilities, which bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings supplemented by hedging activities as considered necessary. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations. As at 30 June 2015, the Group had three interest rate swap agreements intended to manage the underlying interest rate risk on borrowings under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. Under two swap agreements, the Group pays a fixed interest rate of 0.73% on borrowings of approximately HK$3.95 billion incurred under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable HIBOR at the time of payment. These interest rate swaps fix the all-in interest rate on approximately HK$3.95 billion of borrowings under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at 2.48% to 3.23% and expire in July 2017. Under the third swap agreement, the Group pays a fixed rate of 0.6763% on borrowings of US$243.8 million (approximately HK$1.8 billion) incurred under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. This interest rate swap fixes the all-in interest rate on the US$243.8 million (approximately HK$1.8 billion) of borrowings under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at 2.43% to 3.18% and expires in July 2017. The carrying values of these interest rate swaps on the condensed consolidated statement of financial position approximates their fair values. The fair value approximates the amount the Group would pay if these contracts were settled at the respective valuation dates. Fair value is estimated based upon current, and predictions of future interest rate levels along a yield curve, the remaining duration of the instruments and other market conditions and, therefore, is subject to significant estimation and a high degree of variability of fluctuation between periods. We adjust this amount by applying a non-performance valuation, considering our creditworthiness or the creditworthiness of our counterparties at each settlement date, as applicable. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair values during the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014, were charged to the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. To the extent there are liabilities of Wynn Macau under the swap agreement, such liabilities are secured by the same collateral package securing the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities.
27Interim Report 2015 Management Discussion and Analysis OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities nor do we engage in any transactions involving derivatives except for interest rate swaps. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. OTHER LIQUIDITY MATTERS We expect to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements from operating cash flows, cash on hand and availability under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. However, we cannot be sure that operating cash flows will be sufficient for those purposes. We may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot be sure that we will be able to refinance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all. New business developments (including our development of Wynn Palace) or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any other development would require us to obtain additional financing. In the ordinary course of business, in response to market demands and client preferences, and in order to increase revenues, we have made and will continue to make enhancements and refinements to our resort. We have incurred and will continue to incur capital expenditures related to these enhancements and refinements. Taking into consideration our financial resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, internally generated funds and availability under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities, we believe that we have sufficient liquid assets to meet our current and anticipated working capital and operating requirements. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS For details of the related party transactions, see note 17 to the Interim Financial Information. Our Directors confirm that all related party transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms, and that their terms are fair and reasonable.

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY’S LISTED SECURITIES There have been no convertible securities issued or granted by the Group, no exercise of any conversion or subscription rights, nor any purchase, sale or redemption by the Group of its listed Shares during the six months ended 30 June 2015. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Company is dedicated to maintaining and ensuring high standards of corporate governance practices and the corporate governance principles of the Company are adopted in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. The Company’s corporate governance practices are based on the principles, code provisions and certain recommended best practices as set out in the Code. The Company has complied with the code provisions in the Code for the six months ended 30 June 2015 except for the following deviation from provision A.2.1 of the Code. Stephen A. Wynn as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Under code provision A.2.1 of the Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. The Company does not at present separate the roles of the chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Wynn, the founder of the Company and Wynn Macau, serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board has determined that the combination of these roles held singularly by Mr. Wynn is in the best interest of the Company and all Shareholders. The Board believes that the issue of whether to combine or separate the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is part of the succession planning process and that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Board to make a determination whether to combine or separate the roles based upon the circumstances. The Board has given careful consideration to separating the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and has determined that the Company and its Shareholders are best served by the current structure. Mr. Wynn’s combined role promotes unified leadership and direction for the Board and executive management and allows for a single, clear focus for the Company’s operational and strategic efforts.
48 Wynn Macau, Limited Other Information The combined role of Mr. Wynn as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is balanced by the Company’s governance structure, policies and controls. All major decisions are made in consultation with members of the Board and the relevant Board committees. The Company has three Board committees, namely the audit and risk committee, remuneration committee, and nomination and corporate governance committee. Each Board committee comprises non-executive Directors only and is chaired by an independent non-executive Director. In addition, there are four independent non-executive Directors on the Board offering independent perspectives. This structure encourages independent and effective oversight of the Company’s operations and prudent management of risk. For the reasons stated above and as a result of the structure, policies and procedures outlined above, and in light of the historical success of Mr. Wynn’s leadership, the Board has concluded that the current Board leadership structure is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. MODEL CODE The Company adopted the Model Code on 16 September 2009 as its code of conduct for securities transactions by Directors. On 23 March 2010, the Company adopted its own code of conduct for securities transactions which was subsequently updated in November 2013. The terms of such code are no less exacting than those set out in the Model Code. Having made specific enquiry of the Directors, all Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the required standard of dealings and code of conduct regarding securities dealings by directors as set out in the Model Code and the Company’s own code of conduct for the six months ended 30 June 2015. QUARTERLY REPORTING BY WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED Our ultimate controlling shareholder, Wynn Resorts, Limited is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market and is a reporting company under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which is required to file quarterly reports with the SEC. Each quarter, Wynn Resorts, Limited issues press releases in the United States relating to its quarterly financial information (including financial information about the Macau segment of Wynn Resorts, Limited, which is operated by the Company). Such information will be presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At the same time as Wynn Resorts, Limited releases its quarterly press releases, the Company makes an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules and Part XIVA of the SFO by extracting the key highlights of the press release pertaining to the Group. Such announcement will also include a quarterly income statement for the Group presented in accordance with IFRS.
49Interim Report 2015 Other Information In addition to the quarterly press release, Wynn Resorts, Limited also files quarterly reports with the SEC. Simultaneously with the filing of such report in the United States, the Company also makes an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules and Part XIVA of the SFO by extracting the key highlights of the quarterly report pertaining to the Group. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO LISTING RULES 13.18 AND 13.21 Under the terms of the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities, it is an event of default if Wynn Resorts, Limited, the Company’s Controlling Shareholder, ceases to own directly or indirectly at least 51% of the voting rights or issued capital of WRM or ceases to retain the ability or the right to direct or procure the direction of the management and policies of WRM. Upon an event of default, the lenders are entitled to exercise certain remedies including acceleration of the indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the terms of the WML 2021 Notes contain a change of control provision that would, if triggered, give rise to a right in favor of the holders of the WML 2021 Notes to require the Company to repurchase such notes. The circumstances that will constitute a change of control include: (1) the consummation of any transaction that results in any party other than Mr. Stephen A. Wynn and his related parties becoming the direct or indirect owner of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of WRL; (2) the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of either the Company or WRL are not directors who were on the board at the date of issuance of the WML 2021 Notes, or directors who were nominated, elected, or appointed by a majority of the directors who were on the board at the date of issuance of the WML 2021 Notes; (3) the first day on which WRL ceases to own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding issued share capital (including warrants, options or other rights convertible into share capital) of the Company; and (4) WRL consolidates with, or merges with or into, any other party or sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to any party, or any party consolidates with, or merges with or into, WRL in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding voting stock of WRL is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the voting stock of WRL outstanding immediately prior to such transaction is converted into or exchanged for voting stock that results in WRL holding a majority of the voting stock of the transferee or surviving party.
50 Wynn Macau, Limited Other Information Save as disclosed above, our Company does not have any other disclosure obligations under Rules 13.18 and 13.21 of the Listing Rules. LITIGATION The Group did not have any material litigation outstanding as at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014. The following litigation is disclosed on a voluntary basis, and, as with all litigation, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of this matter. Litigation in Macau WRM and certain individuals who are or were directors of WRM and/or the Company have been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Court of First Instance of Macau (the “Macau Court”) by Mr. Kazuo Okada (“Okada”) and two of Okada’s controlled companies, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corp. (collectively, the “Okada Parties”). The principal allegations in the lawsuit are that the redemption of the Okada Parties’ shares in WRL was improper and undervalued, that the previously disclosed payment by WRM to an unrelated third party in consideration of relinquishment by that party of certain rights in and to any future development on the land in Cotai where the Company is constructing Wynn Palace was unlawful and that the Company’s previously disclosed donation by WRM to the University of Macau Development Foundation was unlawful. The Okada Parties seek the dissolution of WRM and compensatory damages. The Company has sought advice from counsel in Macau, and based on such advice, the Company believes that the claims are devoid of merit and are unfounded. The Company intends to vigorously defend WRM and the other defendants in the Macau Court lawsuit. Further details are contained in the Company’s announcement dated 3 July 2015. COOPERATION WITH THE CCAC In July 2014, the Company was contacted by the Commission Against Corruption of Macau (the “CCAC”) requesting certain information related to the Company’s land in the Cotai area of Macau. The Company is cooperating with the CCAC’s request.

52 Wynn Macau, Limited Report on Review of Interim Financial Information 22/F CITIC Tower 1 Tim Mei Avenue Central Hong Kong To the shareholders of Wynn Macau, Limited (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) INTRODUCTION We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial information of Wynn Macau, Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) set out on pages 54 to 78 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. SCOPE OF REVIEW We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing. Consequently, it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
53Interim Report 2015 Report on Review of Interim Financial Information CONCLUSION Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

64 Wynn Macau, Limited Interim Financial Information Notes to Interim Financial Information For the six months ended 30 June 2015 6. INCOME TAX EXPENSE The major components of income tax expense for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 were: For the Six Months Ended 30 June 2015 2014 HK$ HK$ (in thousands) (unaudited) (unaudited) Income tax expense: Current — overseas 7,524 7,524 Deferred — overseas (4,294) 4,957 3,230 12,481 No provision for Hong Kong profit tax for the six months ended 30 June 2015 has been made as there was no assessable profit generated in Hong Kong (six months ended 30 June 2014: Nil). Taxation for overseas jurisdictions is charged at the appropriate prevailing rates ruling in the respective jurisdictions and the maximum rate is 12% (six months ended 30 June 2014: 12%). For the six months ended 30 June 2015, the tax provision of HK$7.5 million results from the current income tax expense accrued by our subsidiaries owning WRM’s shares under the WRM Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement (six months ended 30 June 2014: HK$7.5 million) and a deferred tax benefit of HK$4.3 million resulting from a decrease in its deferred tax liability (six months ended 30 June 2014: deferred tax expense of HK$5.0 million). Effective 6 September 2006, WRM received a 5-year exemption from Macau’s 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits (the “Tax Holiday”). On 30 November 2010, WRM received an additional 5-year exemption effective from 1 January 2011 through 31 December 2015. Accordingly, the Group was exempted from the payment of approximately HK$184.9 million in such tax for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (six months ended 30 June 2014: HK$436.4 million). The Group’s non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau Special Gaming Tax and other levies in accordance with its Concession Agreement. In June 2015, WRM applied for an additional 5-year exemption from Macau Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits through 2020.
65Interim Report 2015 Interim Financial Information Notes to Interim Financial Information For the six months ended 30 June 2015 6. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued) In June 2009, WRM entered the WRM Shareholder Dividend Tax Agreement, effective retroactively to 2006, with the Macau Special Administrative Region that provided for annual payments of MOP7.2 million (approximately HK$7.0 million) to the Macau Special Administrative Region in lieu of Complementary Tax on dividend distributions to its shareholders from gaming profits. The term of this agreement was five years, which coincided with the Tax Holiday which began in 2006. In November 2010, WRM applied for a 5-year extension of this agreement. In August 2011, the 5-year extension was granted with an annual payment of MOP15.5 million (approximately HK$15.0 million) due to the Macau Special Administrative Region for each of the years 2011 through 2015. In June 2015, WRM applied for an extension of this agreement for an additional five years through 2020. The Group is exempted from income tax in the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands. The Group’s subsidiaries file income tax returns in Macau and various foreign jurisdictions as required by law. The Group’s income tax returns are subject to examinations by tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Group’s 2010 to 2014 Macau Complementary Tax returns remain subject to examination by the Financial Services Bureau of the Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region (The “Financial Services Bureau”). In 2014, the Financial Services Bureau issued the tax assessments for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. While no additional tax was due, adjustments were made to WRM’s tax loss carry forwards. In June 2015, the Financial Services Bureau commenced an examination of the 2012 Macau Complementary Tax returns for WRM. Since the examination is in its initial stage, the Group is unable to determine if it will conclude within the next 12 months. The Group believes that its liability for uncertain tax positions is adequate with respect to these years. Quarterly, the Group undertakes reviews for any potentially unfavorable tax outcome and when an unfavorable outcome is identified as being probable and can be reasonably estimated, the Group then establishes a tax reserve for such possible unfavorable outcome. Estimating potential tax outcomes for any uncertain tax issues is highly judgmental and may not be indicative of the ultimate settlement with the tax authorities. As at 30 June 2015, the Group has unrecognized tax losses of HK$2.3 billion (31 December 2014: HK$1.9 billion) and the Group believes that these unrecognized tax losses are adequate to offset adjustments that might be proposed by the Macau tax authorities. The Group believes that it has adequately provided reasonable reserves for prudent and foreseeable outcomes related to uncertain tax matters.

The Group typically advances commissions to gaming promoters at the beginning of each month to facilitate their working capital requirements. These advances were previously supported primarily by held checks and recognized as cash and cash equivalents (HK$1.2 billion as at 31 December 2014). Market conditions in Macau and other regional economic factors have impacted the liquidity of certain gaming promoters. As a result, our advanced commissions to gaming promoters now are supported primarily with signed promissory notes. The advanced commissions are on terms requiring settlement within five business days of the month following the advance. The Group recognized advanced commissions of HK$951.5 million as trade and other receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2015 and assesses these advanced commissions in connection with the Group’s evaluation of its allowance for doubtful accounts.

75Interim Report 2015 Interim Financial Information Notes to Interim Financial Information For the six months ended 30 June 2015 16. LITIGATION The Group did not have any material litigation outstanding as at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014. The following litigation is disclosed on a voluntary basis, and, as with all litigation, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of this matter. Litigation in Macau WRM and certain individuals who are or were directors of WRM and/or the Company have been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Court of First Instance of Macau (the “Macau Court”) by Mr. Kazuo Okada (“Okada”) and two of Okada’s controlled companies, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corp. (collectively, the “Okada Parties”). The principal allegations in the lawsuit are that the redemption of the Okada Parties’ shares in WRL was improper and undervalued, that the previously disclosed payment by WRM to an unrelated third party in consideration of relinquishment by that party of certain rights in and to any future development on the land in Cotai where the Company is constructing Wynn Palace was unlawful and that the Company’s previously disclosed donation by WRM to the University of Macau Development Foundation was unlawful. The Okada Parties seek the dissolution of WRM and compensatory damages. The Company has sought advice from counsel in Macau, and based on such advice, the Company believes that the claims are devoid of merit and are unfounded. The Company intends to vigorously defend WRM and the other defendants in the Macau Court lawsuit. Further details are contained in the Company’s announcement dated 3 July 2015.
