Fourth Quarter Overview

Mr. Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased to have delivered a solid operating performance in each of our markets, which enabled us to generate $1.12 billion in adjusted property EBITDA for the quarter, an increase of 6.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.

"In Macao, our industry-leading Cotai Strip property portfolio, which has been meaningfully expanded by the opening of the Parisian Macao, generated growth of 16% in the mass gaming segment. This result was our strongest growth in Macao's most important and profitable segment since the second quarter of 2014.  The Macao market overall continued its recovery in the fourth quarter, while our Macao portfolio generated visitation growth of 23% and higher hotel occupancy rates.  We are confident that the benefits of the increased scale we have achieved in our market-leading hotel, retail and entertainment offerings will enable us to deliver growth in Macao and strong financial performance.

"We are pleased The Parisian Macao, our latest Integrated Resort delivered $95 million in adjusted property EBITDA during its first full quarter of operation and quickly established itself as another 'must see' destination for visitors to the Cotai Strip. To date we have invested approximately $13 billion in Macao, contributing to Macao's diversification and appeal as a business and leisure tourism destination. We remain confident that our market-leading Cotai Strip portfolio of properties will continue to provide the economic benefits of diversification to Macao, help attract greater numbers of business and leisure travelers, and provide both Macao and our Company an outstanding and diversified platform for future growth.

"Our focus remains on the consistent execution of our proven global growth strategy, which leverages the power of our unique convention-based Integrated Resort business model. We are particularly encouraged by the recent passage of the IR Promotion Bill in Japan as it paves the way for more detailed legislation that we believe will create opportunities for us to bring the economic benefits of our industry-leading convention-based Integrated Resort business model to this dynamic and promising market."

The Company paid a recurring quarterly dividend of $0.72 per common share during the quarter. The Company announced that its next recurring quarterly dividend of $0.73 per common share will be paid on March 31, 2017, to Las Vegas Sands shareholders of record on March 23, 2017.   

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore delivered $366 million in adjusted property EBITDA, an increase of 8.0% compared to the same quarter last year. The property continues to attract business and leisure visitors from across the region and deliver the economic benefits of our convention-based business model to Singapore. Consistent mass win-per-day of $4.59 million and strength in non-gaming revenues, including a 7.9% increase in RevPAR, contributed to an adjusted property EBITDA margin of 50.6%, 240 basis points higher than in the prior-year quarter.

At The Venetian Las Vegas and The Palazzo, including the Sands Expo and Convention Center, adjusted property EBITDA grew 14.4% to $111 million compared to the fourth quarter of last year. Revenue growth of 3.0% reflected modest top-line increases in all business segments. Revenue growth in combination with cost discipline generated a 260 basis point improvement in adjusted property EBITDA margin to 26.9%.

Company-Wide Operating Results

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 7.4% to $3.08 billion, compared to $2.86 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net income increased 5.6% to $607 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $575 million in the year-ago quarter.

On a GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) basis, operating income in the fourth quarter of 2016 decreased 4.7% to $669 million, compared to $702 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The modest decrease in operating income was a result of higher depreciation and amortization expenses as well as asset impairment charges during the quarter. This was largely offset by higher revenues and lower pre-opening costs. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) of $1.12 billion increased 6.1% in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to the year-ago quarter. On a hold-normalized basis, adjusted property EBITDA was $1.07 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016, unchanged from the prior-year quarter. 

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 9.2% to $509 million, compared to $466 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, while diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2016 of $0.64, represented an increase of 8.5% compared to the prior-year quarter. The increase in net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands was a result primarily of $64 million of other income related to foreign exchange gains and changes in the value of forward currency contracts.   

Adjusted net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands (a non-GAAP measure) decreased 0.6% to $491 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $494 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2015.

On a GAAP basis, full year 2016 operating income decreased 12.2% to $2.49 billion, compared to $2.84 billion in 2015. The decrease in operating income was principally due to lower net revenues, non-recurring legal costs in 2016 and higher pre-opening expenses, most of which relate to The Parisian Macao. Net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands decreased 15.1% to $1.67 billion, or $2.10 per diluted share, in 2016, compared to $2.0 billion, or $2.47 per diluted share, in 2015. The decline in net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands reflected the decrease in operating income described above, partially offset by a decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. 

Sands China Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results

On a GAAP basis, total net revenues for Sands China Ltd. (SCL) increased 12.0% to $1.86 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $1.66 billion in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net income for SCL decreased 7.9% to $348 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $378 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

On a GAAP basis, full year 2016 total net revenues for Sands China Ltd. decreased 2.5% to $6.69 billion, compared to $6.86 billion in 2015. Net income for Sands China Ltd. decreased 15.9% to $1.22 billion in 2016, compared to $1.45 billion in 2015.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Ferry Operations and Other, which is principally comprised of our CotaiJet ferry operation, reflected adjusted property EBITDA of $7 million during the quarter, compared to $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Pre-opening expense was $2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $319 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $249 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. This increase was driven primarily by the opening of The Parisian Macao.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $76 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $66 million in the prior-year quarter. Capitalized interest was $1 million during the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $11 million during the fourth quarter of 2015. Our weighted average borrowing cost in the fourth quarter of 2016 was approximately 3.0%.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 7.9% compared to 9.7% in the prior-year quarter. The tax rate is primarily driven by a provision for the earnings from Marina Bay Sands at the 17% Singapore income tax rate.

The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the fourth quarter of 2016 of $98 million was principally related to Sands China Ltd. 

Balance Sheet Items

Unrestricted cash balances as of December 31, 2016 were $2.13 billion.

As of December 31, 2016, total debt outstanding, including the current portion and net of deferred financing costs (excluding those costs related to our revolving facilities) and original issue discount, was $9.60 billion.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter totaled $295 million, including construction, development and maintenance activities of $215 million in Macao (principally for The Parisian Macao), $40 million in Las Vegas, $33 million at Marina Bay Sands and $7 million at Sands Bethlehem.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Results
Non-GAAP Measures

Within the Company's fourth quarter 2016 press release, the Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company's consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") including "adjusted net income," "adjusted earnings per diluted share," and "consolidated adjusted property EBITDA," which have directly comparable GAAP financial measures along with "adjusted property EBITDA margin," "hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA," "hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA margin," "hold-normalized adjusted net income," and "hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share." The Company believes these measures represent important internal measures of financial performance. Set forth in the financial schedules accompanying this release are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measure disclosure by the Company has limitations and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and 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 presented below.

The following non-GAAP financial measures are used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate the Company's operations and operating performance. These non-GAAP financial 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 net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes certain non-recurring corporate expenses, pre-opening expense, development expense, gain or loss on disposal of assets, loss on modification or early retirement of debt and other income and expense, attributable to Las Vegas Sands, net of income tax. 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 alternative measures on which to base expectations for future results. These measures also form the basis of certain internal management performance expectations.

Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, gain or loss on disposal of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of its operations with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Gaming companies have historically reported adjusted property 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 adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, consolidated adjusted property EBITDA as presented by Las Vegas Sands Corp. may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA, a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, that, in addition to the aforementioned reasons for the presentation of consolidated 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. Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA is based on applying a Rolling Chip win percentage of 2.85% to the Rolling Chip volume for the quarter if the actual win percentage is outside the expected range of 2.7% to 3.0% for our Macao and Singapore properties, and applying a win percentage of 25.0% for Baccarat and 18.0% for non-Baccarat games to the respective table games drops for the quarter if the actual win percentages are outside the expected ranges of 21.0% to 29.0% for Baccarat and 16.0% to 20.0% for non-Baccarat at our Las Vegas properties. No hold adjustments are made for Sands Bethlehem. We do not present adjustments for Non-Rolling Chip drop for our table games play at our Macao and Singapore properties, nor for slots at any of our properties. Hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA is also adjusted for the estimated gaming taxes, commissions paid to third parties on the incremental win, bad debt expense, discounts and other incentives that would have been incurred when applying the win percentages noted above to the respective gaming volumes. The hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA measure presents a consistent measure for evaluating the operating performance of our properties from period to period.

Hold-normalized adjusted net income and hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share are additional supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that, in addition to the aforementioned reasons for the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, are presented to adjust for the impact of certain variances in table games' win percentages, which can vary from period to period.

The Company may also present the above items on a constant currency basis. This information is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by translating current quarter local currency amounts to U.S. dollars based on prior period exchange rates. These amounts are compared to the prior period to derive non-GAAP constant-currency growth/decline. Management considers non-GAAP constant-currency growth/decline to be a useful metric to investors and management as it allows a more direct comparison of current performance to historical performance.

The Company also makes reference to adjusted property EBITDA margin and hold-normalized adjusted property EBITDA margin, which are calculated using the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures.

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.
