Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS), the world's leading developer and operator of convention-based Integrated Resorts, today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

Net revenue was $3.51 billion, an increase of 1.0% from the prior year quarter. Operating income increased 6.9% to $934 million. Net income increased to $783 million compared to a net loss of $40 million in the year ago quarter, which was due to improved operating results and nonrecurring non-cash income tax expense of $727 million for U.S. tax reform in 2018, as further discussed below. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA was $1.39 billion, an increase of 9.1% from the prior year quarter due to increases in each of our jurisdictions, led by Singapore increasing $95 million.

"We delivered solid financial results in the quarter, with Adjusted Property EBITDA reaching $1.39 billion," said Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman and chief executive officer. "We remain enthusiastic about our future growth opportunities in Asia. This year, we will introduce approximately two million square feet of luxurious suite accommodations on the Cotai Strip with the opening of the Grand Suites at Four Seasons Macao and The Londoner Tower Suites. Additional tourism and entertainment amenities of The Londoner Macao will debut throughout 2020 and 2021. Looking further ahead, the expansion of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore will meaningfully increase our suite capacity and introduce a state-of-the-art entertainment arena, both of which should contribute to future growth. We are also aggressively pursuing additional development opportunities in new markets, including in Japan.

"Finally, we remain deeply committed to maintaining our industry-leading financial strength while continuing to increase the return of capital to shareholders. As previously announced, our annual dividend for the 2020 calendar year will increase to $3.16 per share, or $0.79 per share per quarter."

The company paid a recurring quarterly dividend of $0.77 per common share and continued its return of capital through share repurchases of $300 million during the quarter. The company announced its next quarterly dividend of $0.79 per common share will be paid on March 26, 2020, to Las Vegas Sands shareholders of record on March 18, 2020.

Net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $629 million, compared to net loss attributable to Las Vegas Sands of $170 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, while diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $0.82, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.22 in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily a result of nonrecurring non-cash income tax items due to the implementation of U.S. tax reform in 2018.

Adjusted net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands was $678 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to $598 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2018. Hold-normalized adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.80.

Full year 2019 operating income decreased 1.4% to $3.70 billion, compared to $3.75 billion in 2018, due to increased corporate expense. Net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands increased 11.8% to $2.70 billion, or $3.50 per diluted share, in 2019, compared to $2.41 billion, or $3.07 per diluted share, in 2018. The increase in net income attributable to Las Vegas Sands reflected the gain on the sale of Sands Bethlehem, partially offset by the decrease in operating income and increases in income tax and interest expense.

Sands China Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results
On a GAAP basis, total net revenues for SCL decreased to $2.24 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $2.25 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018. Net income for SCL increased to $513 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $465 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

On a GAAP basis, full year 2019 total net revenues for SCL increased to $8.81 billion, compared to $8.67 billion in 2018. Net income for SCL increased to $2.04 billion in 2019, compared to $1.90 billion in 2018.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $134 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $138 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease resulted from our weighted average borrowing cost in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreasing to 4.3%, compared to 4.5% during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Our income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $65 million (an effective income tax rate of 7.7%), compared to $782 million in the prior year quarter. The tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2019 is primarily driven by a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations. The tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 is primarily due to nonrecurring non-cash expense of $727 million resulting from guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service related to the international provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"). This guidance clarified the implementation of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") and other provisions which impact the foreign tax credit utilization and required an increase of a valuation allowance related to our historical foreign tax credits. Our effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 would have been 7.4% without the discrete expense associated with the Act.

Balance Sheet Items
Unrestricted cash balances as of December 31, 2019 were $4.23 billion.

As of December 31, 2019, total debt outstanding, excluding finance leases, was $12.48 billion.

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter totaled $460 million, including construction, development and maintenance activities of $352 million in Macao, $61 million at Marina Bay Sands and $47 million in Las Vegas.

Conference Call Information
The company will host a conference call to discuss the company's results on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Interested parties may listen to the conference call through a webcast available on the company's website at www.sands.com.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Results
Non-GAAP Measures

Within the company's fourth quarter and full year 2019 press release, the company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the company's consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with 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 and presentations included on the Company's website 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 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 investors have the same financial data management uses in evaluating financial performance with the belief 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 nonrecurring corporate expenses, pre-opening expense, development expense, gain or loss on disposal or impairment of assets, loss on modification or early retirement of debt and other income or expense, attributable to Las Vegas Sands, net of income tax and a nonrecurring non-cash adjustment due to U.S. tax reform enacted in 2017. 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 Integrated Resort 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 or impairment of assets, interest, other income or expense, gain on sale of Sands Bethlehem, 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. Integrated Resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands, have historically excluded certain expenses that do not relate to the management of specific properties, such as pre-opening expense, development expense and corporate expense, from their adjusted property EBITDA calculations. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to income from operations (as an indicator of operating performance) or to cash flows from operations (as a measure of liquidity), in each case, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The company has significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal payments and income tax payments, 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 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 3.15% to the Rolling Chip volume for the quarter if the actual win percentage is outside the expected range of 3.0% to 3.3% for our Macao and Singapore properties and applying a win percentage of 22.0% for Baccarat and 20.0% for non-Baccarat games to the respective table games drops for the quarter if the actual win percentages are outside the expected ranges of 18.0% to 26.0% for Baccarat and 16.0% to 24.0% for non-Baccarat at our Las Vegas properties. No hold adjustments were 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, 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.

(1)	For Macao Operations and Marina Bay Sands, this represents the estimated incremental casino revenue related to Rolling Chip volume play that would have been earned or lost had the company's current period win percentage equaled 3.15%. This calculation will only be applied if the current period win percentage is outside the expected range of 3.0% to 3.3%. The company revised the expected target and range for Marina Bay Sands due to the Rolling Chip win percentage experienced over the last several years. The prior year non-GAAP measurement for Marina Bay Sands has also been adjusted to reflect this change for comparison purposes.

	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 22.0% for Baccarat and 20.0% for non-Baccarat. This calculation will only be applied if the current period win percentages for Baccarat and non-Baccarat are outside the expected ranges of 18.0% to 26.0% and 16.0% to 24.0%, respectively.

	For Sands Bethlehem, no adjustments have been made.

	These amounts have been offset by the estimated commissions paid and discounts and other incentives rebated directly or indirectly to customers.

____________________
(1)	The company completed the sale of Sands Bethlehem on May 31, 2019.
(2)	Adjustment reflects the impact of U.S. tax reform and related guidance issued on the valuation allowance related to certain of the company's tax attributes. The company recorded a $670 million tax benefit during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, related to the company's initial technical interpretation of U.S. tax reform related to global intangible low-taxed income, which was later reversed during the quarter ended December 31, 2018, when the IRS issued corrective guidance.
(3)	The income tax impact for each adjustment is derived by applying the effective tax rate, including current and deferred income tax expense, based upon the jurisdiction and the nature of the adjustment.
