However, the Vaccinated Travel Framework (“VTF”), launched in April 2022, facilitated the resumption of travel and had a positive impact on operations at Marina Bay Sands. During February 2023, any remaining COVID-19 border measures were lifted.
Visitation to Marina Bay Sands continues to improve since the travel restrictions have been lifted. The Singapore Tourism Board (“STB”) announced total visitation to the properties, however, was adversely affected duringSingapore increased from approximately 1.5 million in 2022 to 6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due2023, while visitation decreased 32.6% when compared to the various outbreakssame period in 2019.

In Singapore, Vaccinated Travel Lanes (“VTLs”) were introduced for a number of key source markets in November and December of 2021 for vaccinated visitors with a negative COVID-19 test. Due toApril 2019, the emergence of the Omicron variant, however, new ticket sales for the VTLs were suspended on December 23, 2021 through January 20, 2022. The VTL program was terminated on March 31, 2022, and the Vaccinated Travel Framework (“VTF”) was launched on April 1, 2022, to facilitate the resumption of travel for all travelers, including short-term visitors. Under the VTF, all fully vaccinated travelers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below are permitted to enter Singapore, without entry approvals or taking VTL transport and starting April 26, 2022, these travelers are no longer required to take a COVID-19 test before departing for Singapore.

Summary
The disruptions arising from the COVID-19 Pandemic continued to have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The duration and intensity of this global health situation and related disruptions are uncertain. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in 2022 will be material, but cannot be reasonably estimated at this time as it is unknown when the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic will end, when or how quickly the current travel and operational restrictions will be modified or cease to be necessary and the resulting impact on the Company’s business and the willingness of tourism patrons to spend on travel and entertainment and business patrons to spend on MICE.

The estimated cost and timing of the total project will provide a bank guarantee by September 23, 2022be updated as the Company completes design and begins construction. The Company expects the total project cost will materially exceed the amounts referenced above from April 2019 based on current market conditions due to inflation, higher material and labor costs and other factors. The Company has incurred approximately$1.07 billion as of 2.31 billion patacas (approximately $286 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) to secure2023, inclusive of the fulfillmentpayment made in 2019 for the lease of VML's payment obligations towards its employees should VML be unsuccessful in tendering for a new concession contract after its subconcession expires.

The regulation includes details on the process of bidding for the gaming concessions, qualifications of the companies bidding and the criteria for granting them. The Company continues to believe it will be successful in extending the term of its subconcession and/or obtaining a new gaming concession when its current subconcession expires; however, it is possible the Macao government could further change or interpret the associated gaming laws in a manner that could negatively impact the Company.

Note 2 — Accounts Receivable, Net and Customer Contract Related Liabilities
Accounts Receivable and Provision for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable is comprised of casino, hotel, mall and other receivables, which do not bear interest and are recorded at amortized cost. The Company extends credit to approved casino patrons following background checks and investigations of creditworthiness. Business or economic conditions, the legal enforceability of gaming debts, foreign currency control measures or other significant events in foreign countries could affect the collectability of receivables from patrons in these countries.
Accounts receivable primarily consists of casino receivables. Other than casino receivables, there is no other concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of its credit risk in casino receivables is mitigated substantially by its credit evaluation process, credit policies, credit control and collection procedures, and also believes there are no concentrations of credit risk for which a provision has not been established. Although management believes the provision is adequate, it is possible the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change.
The Company maintains a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluates the balances. The Company applies standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. The Company also specifically analyzes the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the patron's financial condition, collection history and any other known information and adjusts the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. The Company also monitors regional and global economic conditions and forecasts in its evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves. Account balances are written off against the provision when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

LVSC Revolving FacilityAccounts Receivable and Provision for Credit Losses
AsAccounts receivable is comprised of June 30, 2022,casino, hotel, mall and other receivables, which do not bear interest and are recorded at amortized cost. The Company extends credit to approved casino patrons following background checks and investigations of creditworthiness. Business or economic conditions, the legal enforceability of gaming debts, foreign currency control measures or other significant events in foreign countries could affect the collectability of receivables from patrons in these countries.
Accounts receivable primarily consists of casino receivables. Other than casino receivables, there is no other concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of its credit risk in casino receivables is mitigated substantially by its credit evaluation process, credit policies, credit control and collection procedures, and also believes there are no concentrations of credit risk for which a provision has not been established. Although management believes the provision is adequate, it is possible the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change.
The Company maintains a provision for expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivables and regularly evaluates the balances. The Company applies standard reserve percentages to aged account balances, which are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due. The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by historical observed default rates over the expected life of the receivable and are adjusted for forward-looking information. The Company also specifically analyzes the collectability of each account with a balance over a specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the patron's financial condition, collection history and any other known information and adjusts the aforementioned reserve with the results from the individual reserve analysis. The Company also monitors regional and global economic conditions and forecasts in its evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves. Account balances are written off against the provision when the Company had $1.50 billion of available borrowing capacity underbelieves it is probable the LVSC Revolving Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit.
SCL Senior Notes
On February 16 and June 16, 2022, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) and Fitch, respectively, downgraded the credit rating for the Company and SCL to BB+. As a result of the downgrades, the coupon on each series of the outstanding SCL Senior Notesreceivable will increase by 0.50% per annum, with a 0.25% per annum increase becoming effective on the first interest payment date after February 16, 2022 as it relates to S&P and an additional 0.25% increase per annum after June 16, 2022 as it relates to Fitch. This will result in an increase of $16 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $36 million for each year thereafter through 2024, at which time this will decrease as the SCL Senior Notes are repaid based on each of their set maturity dates.
2018 SCL Credit Facility
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, SCL drew down $67 million and 4.96 billion Hong Kong dollars (“HKD,” approximately $632 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) under the facility for general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2022, SCL had $1.04 billion of available borrowing capacity under the 2018 SCL Revolving Facility comprised of HKD commitments of HKD 7.36 billion (approximately $938 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) and U.S. dollar commitments of $99 million.
2012 Singapore Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2022, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”) had SGD 590 million (approximately $423 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) of available borrowing capacity under the 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, primarily consisting of a banker’s guarantee for SGD153 million (approximately $110 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) pursuant to a development agreement.
On February 9, 2022, MBS entered into the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment Agreement”) with DBS Bank Ltd., as agent and security trustee. The Fourth Amendment Agreement amended and restated the facility agreement, dated as of June 25, 2012 (as amended, the “Existing Facility Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment Agreement, the Existing Facility Agreement was amended to update the terms therein that provide for a transition away from the Swap Offer Rate (“SOR”) as a benchmark interest rate and the replacement of SOR by a replacement benchmark interest rate or mechanism.
Under the Fourth Amendment Agreement, outstanding loans bear interest at the Singapore Overnight Rate Average (“SORA”) with a credit spread adjustment of 0.19% per annum, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.85% per annum, based on MBS’s consolidated leverage ratio (estimated interest rate set at approximately 2.85% as of June 30, 2022).
During 2021, the Company amended its 2012 Singapore Credit Facility, which, among other things, extended to March 31, 2022, the deadline for delivering the construction cost estimate and the construction schedule for the MBS Expansion Project. The Company is in the process of reviewing the budget and timing of the MBS expansion based on the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and other factors. As a result, the construction cost estimate and construction schedule were not delivered to the lenders by the March 31, 2022 deadline. As of June 30, 2022, there is SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.65 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) left of total borrowing capacity, which is only available to be drawn under the Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility after the construction cost estimate and construction schedule for the MBS Expansion Project are delivered to lenders. The Company does not anticipate material spend related to the MBS Expansion Project prior to the delivery of these items to the lenders.recovered.

Macao Concession
On December 16, 2022, the Macao government announced the award of six definitive gaming concessions, one of which was awarded to Venetian Macau Limited (“VML,” a subsidiary of Sands China Ltd.), and on January 1, 2023, VML entered into a ten-year gaming concession contract with the Macao government (the “Concession”). Under the terms of the Concession, VML is required to pay the Macao government an annual gaming premium consisting of a fixed portion and a variable portion. The fixed portion of the premium is 30 million patacas (approximately$4 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023). The variable portion is 300,000 patacas per gaming table reserved exclusively for certain types of games or players, 150,000 patacas per gaming table not so reserved (the mass rate) and 1,000 patacas per electrical or mechanical gaming machine, including slot machines (approximately $37,158, $18,579 and $124, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023).
On December 30, 2022, VML and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, confirmed and agreed to revert certain gaming equipment and gaming areas to the Macao government without compensation and free of any liens or charges in accordance with, and upon the expiry of, VML’s subconcession. On the same day, VML and the Macao government entered into a handover record (the “Handover Record”) granting VML the right to operate the reverted gaming equipment and gaming areas for the duration of the Concession in consideration for the payment of an annual fee. The annual fee is calculated based on a price per square meter of reverted gaming area, being 750 patacas per square meter in the first three years and 2,500 patacas per square meter in the subsequent seven years (approximately $93 and $310, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023). The price per square meter used to determine the annual fee will be adjusted annually based on Macao’s average price index of the corresponding preceding year. The annual fee is estimated to be $13 million for the first three years and $42 million for the following seven years, subject to the aforementioned adjustment.
On January 1, 2023, the Company recognized an intangible asset and financial liability of 4.0 billion patacas (approximately $495 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023), representing the right to operate the gaming equipment and the gaming areas, the right to conduct games of chance in Macao and the unconditional obligation to make payments under the Concession. This intangible asset comprises the contractually obligated annual payments of fixed and variable premiums, as well as fees associated with the above-described Handover Record. The contractually obligated annual variable premium payments associated with the intangible asset was determined using the maximum number of table games at the mass rate and the maximum number of gaming machines that VML is currently allowed to operate by the Macao government. In the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, the noncurrent portion of the financial liability is included in “Other long-term liabilities” and the current portion is included in “Other accrued liabilities.” The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the Concession, being ten years.

Macao Concession
On December 16, 2022, the Macao government announced the award of six definitive gaming concessions, one of which was awarded to Venetian Macau Limited (“VML,” a subsidiary of Sands China Ltd.), and on January 1, 2023, VML entered into a ten-year gaming concession contract with the Macao government (the “Concession”). Under the terms of the Concession, VML is required to pay the Macao government an annual gaming premium consisting of a fixed portion and a variable portion. The fixed portion of the premium is 30 million patacas (approximately$4 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023). The variable portion is 300,000 patacas per gaming table reserved exclusively for certain types of games or players, 150,000 patacas per gaming table not so reserved (the mass rate) and 1,000 patacas per electrical or mechanical gaming machine, including slot machines (approximately $37,158, $18,579 and $124, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023).
On December 30, 2022, VML and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, confirmed and agreed to revert certain gaming equipment and gaming areas to the Macao government without compensation and free of any liens or charges in accordance with, and upon the expiry of, VML’s subconcession. On the same day, VML and the Macao government entered into a handover record (the “Handover Record”) granting VML the right to operate the reverted gaming equipment and gaming areas for the duration of the Concession in consideration for the payment of an annual fee. The annual fee is calculated based on a price per square meter of reverted gaming area, being 750 patacas per square meter in the first three years and 2,500 patacas per square meter in the subsequent seven years (approximately $93 and $310, respectively, at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023). The price per square meter used to determine the annual fee will be adjusted annually based on Macao’s average price index of the corresponding preceding year. The annual fee is estimated to be $13 million for the first three years and $42 million for the following seven years, subject to the aforementioned adjustment.
On January 1, 2023, the Company recognized an intangible asset and financial liability of 4.0 billion patacas (approximately $495 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2023), representing the right to operate the gaming equipment and the gaming areas, the right to conduct games of chance in Macao and the unconditional obligation to make payments under the Concession. This intangible asset comprises the contractually obligated annual payments of fixed and variable premiums, as well as fees associated with the above-described Handover Record. The contractually obligated annual variable premium payments associated with the intangible asset was determined using the maximum number of table games at the mass rate and the maximum number of gaming machines that VML is currently allowed to operate by the Macao government. In the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, the noncurrent portion of the financial liability is included in “Other long-term liabilities” and the current portion is included in “Other accrued liabilities.” The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the Concession, being ten years.

____________________
(1)Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is net income (loss) from continuing operations 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 or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated 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 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 properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., 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 repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Operations
We view each of our Integrated Resort properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapore is Marina Bay Sands.
On February 23, 2022, we closedMacao
From 2020 through the salebeginning of 2023, our Las Vegas real property and operations including The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center (the “Las Vegas Operations”) for $6.25 billion. At closing, we received approximately $5.05 billion in cash proceeds, before transaction costs and working capital adjustments of $77 million, a $1.20 billion seller financing loan and recognized a gain on disposal of $3.61 billion, before income tax expense of $750 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
In early January 2020, an outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread rapidly across the world causing the World Health Organization to declare the outbreak of a pandemic on March 12, 2020 (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). Governments around the world mandated actions to contain the spread of the virus that included stay-at-home orders, quarantines, capacity limits, closures of non-essential businesses and significant restrictions on travel. The government actions varied based upon a number of factors, including the extent and severity of the COVID-19 Pandemic within their respective countries and jurisdictions.
Visitation to the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”) of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) has remained substantially below pre-COVID-19 levels as a result of various government policies limiting or discouraging travel. Other than people from mainland China who in general may enter Macao without quarantine subject to them holding the appropriate travel documents, a negative COVID-19 test result issued within a specified time period and a green health-code, there remains in place a complete ban on entry or a need to undergo various quarantine requirements depending on the person’s residency and recent travel history.Our operations in Macao will continue to be impacted and subject to changes in the government policies of Macao, China, Hong Kong and other jurisdictions in Asia addressing travel and public health measures associated with COVID-19.
Following an outbreak in Macao in mid-June, the Macao government announced a series of preventative measures. These included closure of a range of government, public and social facilities, with restaurants only permitted to offer take away services. Residential and commercial buildings with confirmed COVID-19 cases have been required to implement various levels of access control. In addition to the health safeguards already in place, the government has implemented a series of mass nucleic acid and rapid antigen tests for the general population. Management is currently unable to determine when these measures will be eased or cease to be necessary.
Our Macao gaming operations remained open during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Guest visitation to the properties, however, was adversely affected during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the various outbreaks that occurred in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macao, which resulted in tighter travel restrictions.
On July 9, 2022, the Macao government issued executive order 115/2022 ordering casinos and all non-essential businesses to close from July 11 to July 18 in an attempt to control a recent outbreak of COVID-19 in Macao. On July 16, 2022, the Macao government announced an extension of this executive order through July 22. On July 20, 2022, the Macao government announced a consolidation period, which would start on July 23, 2022 and end on July 30, 2022 whereby certain business activities will be allowed to resume limited operations, clarifying that casino operations could resume but with a maximum capacity of 50% of casino staff working at any point in time.
The timing and manner in which our casinos, restaurants and shopping malls will reopen and/or operate at full capacity are currently unknown.
As with prior periods, in support of the Macao government’s initiatives to fight the COVID-19 Pandemic, throughout the six months ended June 30, 2022 and in June in particular, we have provided both towers of the Sheraton Grand Macao hotel and also The Parisian Macao hotel to the Macao government to house individuals for quarantine and medical observation purposes.
Our ferry operations between Macao and Hong Kong remain suspended. The timing and manner in which our ferry operations will be able to resume are currently unknown.
Our Macao operationshave been significantlywere negatively impacted by the reducedreduction in travel and tourism related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Macao government's policy regarding the management of COVID-19 and general travel restrictions was relaxed in late December 2022 and early January 2023. Since then, visitation to Macao. our Macao Integrated Resorts and operations have improved.
The Macao government announced total visitation from mainland China to Macao increased approximately 118.3% and decreased approximately 12.2% and 78.1%50.1%, during the sixfive months ended June 30, 2022,May 31, 2023 (the latest statistics currently available), as compared to the same period in 20212022 and 2019 (pre-pandemic), respectively. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue increased approximately 205.1% and decreased approximately 46.4% and 82.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, as compared to the same period in 20212022 and 2019, respectively.
InSingapore
From 2020 through early 2022, our operations in Singapore Vaccinated Travel Lanes (“VTLs”) were introduced for a number of key source marketsnegatively impacted by the reduction in Novembertravel and December of 2021 for vaccinated visitors with a negative COVID-19 test. Duetourism related to the emergence of the Omicron variant, however, new ticket sales for the VTLs were suspended on December 23, 2021 through January 20, 2022. The VTL program was terminated on March 31, 2022, andCOVID-19 pandemic. However, the Vaccinated Travel Framework (“VTF”) was, launched onin April 1, 2022, to facilitatefacilitated the resumption of travel for all travelers, including short-term visitors. Under the VTF, all fully vaccinated travelers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below are permitted to enter Singapore, without entry approvals or taking VTL transport and starting April 26, 2022, these travelers are no longer required to takehad a COVID-19 test before departing for Singapore. Operationspositive impact on operations at Marina Bay Sands will continueSands. During February 2023, any remaining COVID-19 border measures were lifted. Airlift passenger movement has increased with 15 million passengers having passed through Singapore's Changi Airport from January through May 2023 (the latest statistics currently available), an increase of 222% and a decrease of 18% compared to be impactedthe same period in 2022 and subject to changes in the government policies of Singapore and other jurisdictions in Asia addressing travel and public health measures associated with COVID-19.2019, respectively.
Visitation to Marina Bay Sands continues to be impacted byimprove since the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic; however, visitation has since increased sincetravel restrictions have been lifted. The Singapore Tourism Board (“STB”) announced total visitation to Singapore increased from approximately 119,000 in 2021 to 1.5 million in 2022 on a year-to-date basis,to 6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, while visitation decreased 83.9%32.6% when compared to the same period in 2019.

While the rise reaching approximately 2.5 million in May 2022, up from approximately 1.9 million in April 2022, and averaging above 40% of pre-pandemic levels as the travel industry continues to recoverdisruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided, given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the potential future impact, of COVID-19.
Atif any, on our Macao properties, we are adhering to social distancing requirements, which include reduced seating at table games and a decreased numberconsolidated results of active slot machines on the casino floor compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. Additionally, there is uncertainty whether the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on operations will continue in future periods. If our Integrated Resorts are not permitted to resume normal operations, travel restrictions such as those related to inbound travel from other countries are not modified or eliminated, there is a resumption of the suspension of the China Individual Visit Scheme, or the global response to contain the COVID-19 Pandemic escalates or is unsuccessful, our operations, cash flows and financial condition will be further materially impacted.
While our properties were open and operating at reduced levels due to lower visitation and required safety measures in place as described above during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the current economic and regulatory environment on a global basis and in each of our jurisdictions continue to evolve. We cannot predict the manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic changes over time, which could significantly alter our current operations.
Weis uncertain. However, we have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including total cash and cash equivalents balance, excluding restrictedunrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $6.45$5.77 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $1.04$1.74 billion and $423$435 million of available borrowing capacity from our LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Revolving Facility and 2012 Singapore Revolving Facility, respectively, as of June 30, 2022.2023. We believe we are able to support continuing operations and complete theour major construction projects that are underway, proceed with the Macao concession renewal process and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various
mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow for non-essential items.
Macao Subconcession
Gaming in Macao is administered by the government through concession agreements awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which Venetian Macau Limited (“VML,” a subsidiary of Sands China Ltd.) is one. On June 23, 2022, an extension was approved and authorized by the Macao government and executed between VML and Galaxy Casino, S.A., pursuant to which the subconcession has been extended from June 26, 2022 to December 31, 2022. VML paid the Macao government 47 million patacas (approximately $6 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) and will provide a bank guarantee by September 23, 2022 of 2.31 billion patacas (approximately $286 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) to secure the fulfillment of VML's payment obligations towards its employees should VML be unsuccessful in tendering for a new concession contract after its subconcession expires.
In order to enable VML to fulfill the relevant requirements to become eligible to obtain the subconcession extension as mentioned above, each of VML, Venetian Cotai Limited (“VCL”) and Venetian Orient Limited (“VOL”) entered into a letter of undertaking (“Undertakings”), pursuant to which each of VML, VCL and VOL has undertaken, pursuant to article 40 of the Gaming Law and article 43 of VML’s subconcession agreement, to revert to the Macao government relevant gaming equipment and gaming areas (as identified in the Undertakings) without compensation and free of any liens or charges upon the expiry of the term of the subconcession extension period. The total casino areas and supporting areas subject to reversion is approximately 136,000 square meters, representing approximately 4.7% of the total property area of these entities.
On June 21, 2022, the Macao Legislative Assembly passed a draft bill entitled Amendment to Law No. 16/2001 to amend Macao’s gaming law, which was published in the Macao Official Gazette on June 22, 2022 as Law No. 7/2022, and became effective on June 23, 2022 (the "Gaming Law"). Certain changes to the Gaming Law include a reduction in the term of future gaming concessions to ten (10) years; authorization of up to six (6) gaming concession contracts; an increase in the minimum capital contribution of concessionaires to 5 billion patacas (approximately $619 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022); an increase in the percentage of the share capital of the concessionaire that must be held by the local managing director to 15%; a requirement that casinos be located in real estate owned by the concessionaire; and a prohibition of revenue sharing arrangements between gaming promoters and concessionaires.
On July 5, 2022, the Macao government published Administrative Regulation No. 28/2022 – Amendment of Administrative Regulation No. 26/2001, which sets forth the regulations governing the upcoming tender for gaming concessions in Macao. The regulation includes details on the process of bidding for the gaming concessions, qualifications of the companies bidding and the criteria for granting them. We continue to believe we will be successful in extending the term of our subconcession and/or obtaining a new gaming concession when our current subconcession expires; however, it is possible the Macao government could further change or interpret the associated gaming laws in a manner that could negatively impact us.
Under our Sands China Ltd. (“SCL”) senior notes indentures, upon the occurrence of any event resulting from any change in the Gaming Law (as defined in the indentures) or any action by the gaming authority after which none of SCL or any of its subsidiaries own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macao in substantially the same manner as they were owning or managing casino or gaming areas or operating casino games as at the issue date of the SCL senior notes, for a period of 30 consecutive days or more, and such event has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of SCL and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, each holder of the SCL senior notes would have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of such holder's SCL senior notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the "Investor Put Option").
Additionally, under the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, the events that trigger an Investor Put Option under the SCL senior notes (as described above) would be an event of default, which may result in commitments being immediately cancelled, in whole or in part, and the related outstanding balances and accrued interest, if any, becoming immediately due and payable.
The subconcession not being further extended or renewed and the potential impact if holders of the notes and the agent have the ability to, and make the election to, accelerate the repayment of the our debt would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We intend to follow the process for a concession renewal as indicated above.
Marina Bay Sands Gaming License
In April 2022, we paid 72 million Singapore dollars ("SGD," approximately $53 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) to the Singapore Casino Regulatory Authority as part of the process to renew its gaming license at Marina Bay Sands, which will now expire in April 2025.underway.

Operating Results
Key Operating Revenue Measurements
Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, prior to its sale on February 23, 2022, wereare dependent upon the volume of patrons who stay at the hotel, which affects the price charged for hotel rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by the volume of gaming patrons who visit the property on a daily basis.
Management utilizes the following volume and pricing measures in order to evaluate past performance and assist in forecasting future revenues. The various volume measurements indicate our ability to attract patrons to our Integrated Resorts. In casino operations, win and hold percentages indicate the amount of revenue to be expected based on volume. In hotel operations, average daily rate and revenue per available room indicate the demand for rooms and our ability to capture that demand. In mall operations, base rent per square foot indicates our ability to attract and maintain profitable tenants for our leasable space.
The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:
Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups: Rolling Chip play (composed of VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is net markers issued (credit instruments), cash deposited in the table drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost for Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped for Non-Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.
We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Our Rolling Chip table games are expected to produce a win percentage of
3.15% to 3.45% in Macao and Singapore, and our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 26.4%24.1%, 22.1%21.0%, 23.6%21.4%, 25.1%24.8%, 18.6%17.4% and 15.5%18.7% at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage of 4.3%, 3.9%, 3.7%, 3.5%3.9%, 7.4%, 2.8%3.3% and 4.2% at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win and hold percentages may vary from our expected win percentage and the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 11.8%10.3% and 12.0%12.5%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: The volume measurements in the U.S. were slot handle, as previously described, and table games drop, which was the total amount of cash and net markers issued (credit instruments) deposited in the table drop box. We viewed table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Our win and hold percentages were calculated before discounts, commissions, deferring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis. Similar to Macao and Singapore, slot machine play was generally conducted on a cash basis.2023.
Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate (a volume indicator), which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period and average daily room rate (“ADR,” a price indicator), which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Available rooms exclude those rooms unavailable for occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements (such as government mandated closure, lodging for team members and usage by the Macao government for quarantine measures). The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) represents a summary of hotel ADR and occupancy.
Because not all available rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit, or where guests check out early, may be re-sold to walk-in guests.
Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area (“GLOA”) divided by gross leasable area (“GLA”) at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base or minimum rent charge in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

In our experience, average win percentages remain fairly consistent when measured over extended periods of time with a significant volume of wagers, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Consolidated 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 consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of itsour operations with those of itsour 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 properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., 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. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

This is due to the increase in the underlying benchmark rates on our SCL Revolving Facility and our Singapore Credit Facility, and the increase in interest rates on the SCL senior notes as a result of the credit rating downgrade to BB+ by S&P in February 2022, and by Fitch in June 2022.

We have had the benefit of a corporate tax exemption in Macao, which exempts us from paying the 12% corporate income tax on profits generated by the operation of casino games, but does not apply to our non-gaming activities. We continued to benefit from this tax exemption through December 31, 2022. Additionally, we entered into a shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government in April 2019, effective through June 26, 2022, providing an annual payment as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from Venetian Macau Limited (“VML,” a subsidiary of SCL) shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits. In December 2022, we requested a corporate tax exemption on profits generated by the operation of casino games in Macao for the new gaming concession period effective from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2032, or for a period of corporate tax exemption that the Chief Executive of Macao may deem more appropriate. We are evaluating the timing of an application for a new shareholder dividend tax agreement. There is no assurance either of these arrangements will be granted.

____________________
(1) Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is net income (loss) from continuing operations 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 or loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. Consolidated 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 consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of itsour operations with those of itsour 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 properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., 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. We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA. Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner. As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Additional Information Regarding our Retail Mall Operations
We own and operate retail malls at our Integrated Resorts at The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao and Marina Bay Sands. Management believes being in the retail mall business and, specifically, owning some of the largest retail properties in Asia will provide meaningful value for us, particularly as the retail market in Asia continues to grow.
Our malls are designed to complement our other unique amenities and service offerings provided by our Integrated Resorts. Our strategy is to seek out desirable tenants that appeal to our patrons and provide a wide variety of shopping options. We generate our mall revenues primarily from leases with tenants through minimum base rents, overage rents, and reimbursements for common area maintenance (“CAM”) and other expenditures.
The following tables summarize the results of our mall operations on the Cotai Strip and at Marina Bay Sands for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021:2022:

Note: These tables excludeThis table excludes the results of our mall operationsretail outlets at Sands Macao.
(1)Minimum rents include base rents and straight-line adjustments of base rents.
(2)Rent concessions were provided to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemicpandemic and the impact on mall operations.
(3)The amount for Marina Bay Sands of $6 million related to a grant provided by the Singapore government to lessors to support small and medium enterprises impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic in connection with their rent obligations.
(4)Commercial property that generates rental income is exempt from property tax for the first six years for newly constructed buildings in Cotai. If the property also qualifies for Tourism Utility Status, the property tax exemption can be extended to twelve years with effect from the opening of the property. To date, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao have obtained an extended exemption. The exemption for The Venetian Macao and The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao expired, in August 2019 and August 2020, respectively, and the exemption for The Londoner Macao and The Parisian Macao will be expiring in December 2027 and September 2028, respectively.
(5)(4)Mall-related expenses consist of CAM, marketing fees and other direct operating expenses, property taxes and provision for credit losses, but excludes depreciation and amortization and general and administrative costs.
It is common in the mall operating industry for companies to disclose mall net operating income (“NOI”) as a useful supplemental measure of a mall’s operating performance. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, allocations to noncontrolling interests and provision for income taxes, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.
In the tables above, we believe taking total mall revenues less mall-related expenses provides an operating performance measure for our malls. Other mall operating companies may use different methodologies for deriving
mall-related expenses. As such, this calculation may not be comparable to the NOI of other mall operating companies.
Development Projects
We regularly evaluate opportunities to improve our product offerings, such as refreshing our meeting and convention facilities, suites and rooms, retail malls, restaurant and nightlife mix and our gaming areas, as well as other anticipated revenue-generating additions to our Integrated Resorts.
MacaoNew York
On June 2, 2023, we paid $241 million to acquire Nassau Live Center, LLC and related entities (the “Nassau Coliseum”), the owners and operators of an entertainment arena in the State of New York. The Londoner Macao ispurchase of the resultNassau Coliseum, which continues to operate following the closing of our renovation, expansion and rebranding of Sands Cotai Central, whichthe sale, primarily included the addition of extensive thematic elements both externally and internally. The Londoner Macao presents a range of new attractions and features, including some of London’s most recognizable landmarks, such asfixed assets related to the Houses of Parliamentarena and the Elizabeth Tower (commonly known as "Big Ben"), and interactive guest experiences. The Integrated Resort features The Londoner Macao Hotel with 594 London-themed suites, including 14 exclusive Suites by David Beckham, Londoner Court with approximately 370 luxury suites andright to lease the 6,000-seat Londoner Arena. The Londoner Arena and the expansion of the Shoppes at Londoner have been completed during the first half of 2022.
We anticipate the total costs associated with The Londoner Macao development project described above and the completed The Grand Suites at Four Seasons to be approximately $2.20 billion, of which $2.11 billion was spent as of June 30, 2022. We expect to fund our developments through a combination of cash on hand, borrowingsunderlying land from the 2018 SCL Credit Facilityowner, the County of Nassau in the State of New York. We purchased the Nassau Coliseum with the intent to obtain a casino license from the State of New York to develop and surplus from operating cash flows.operate an Integrated Resort. There is no assurance we will be able to obtain such casino license.
Singapore
In April 2019, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”)MBS and the Singapore Tourism Board (the “STB”)STB entered into a development agreement (the “Second Development Agreement”) pursuant to which MBS has agreed to construct a development, which will include a hotel tower with approximately 1,000luxury rooms and suites, a rooftop attraction, convention and meeting facilities and a state-of-the-art live entertainment arena with approximately 15,000 seats (the “MBS Expansion Project”).
The Second Development Agreement provides for a total minimum project cost of approximately SGD 4.50 billion (approximately $3.23Singapore dollars (“SGD,” approximately $3.32 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022), which investment must be completed within eight years from the effective date2023). The estimated cost and timing of the agreement. total project will be updated as we complete design and begin construction. We expect the total project cost will materially exceed the amounts referenced above from April 2019 based on current market conditions due to inflation, higher material and labor costs and other factors. We have incurred approximately $1.07 billion as of June 30, 2023, inclusive of the payment made in 2019 for the lease of the parcels of land underlying the MBS Expansion Project site.
On March 30, 2022,22, 2023, MBS and the STB entered into a lettersupplemental agreement (the “Letter“Supplemental Agreement”) that amends, which further extended the construction commencement date to April 8, 2024 and the construction completion date to April 8, 2028, and allowed for changes to the construction and operation plans under the Second Development Agreement. The Letter Agreement extended the deadline for MBS to commence construction, as defined in the Second Development Agreement, by one year to April 8, 2023. The amount of the total project cost will be finalized as we complete design and development and begin construction.
We amended our 2012 Singapore Credit Facility to provide for the financing of the development and construction costs, fees and other expenses related to the MBS Expansion Project pursuant to the Second Development Agreement. On September 7, 2021, we amended the 2012 Singapore Credit Facility, which, among other things, extended the deadline for delivering the construction cost estimate and the construction schedule for the MBS Expansion Project to March 31, 2022. WeAs noted above, we are in the process of completing the design and reviewing the budget and timing of the MBS expansion based on the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and otherdue to various factors. As a result, the construction cost estimate and construction schedule were not delivered to the lenders by the extended deadline, and we will not be permitted to make further draws on the Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility until these items are delivered. We do not anticipate material spend related to the MBS Expansion Project prior to the delivery of these items to lenders.
We are also beganaccomplishing the approximately $1.0 billion renovation of Marina Bay Sands, which is expected towill introduce world-class suites in Tower 1 and Tower 2, and substantially upgrade the overall guest experience for premium customers. This project is in addition to our previously announced plans for the MBS Expansion Project.Project and is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

Capital Financing Overview
We fund our development projects primarily through borrowings from our debt instruments and operating cash flows.
On February 23, 2022, we closed the sale of our Las Vegas Operations. At closing, we received approximately $5.05 billion in cash proceeds, before transaction costs and income taxes. The net proceeds of approximately $4.37 billion, after working capital adjustments, transaction costs and the payment of income taxes throughout 2022, will be used for incremental liquidity and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures and development activities. In connection with the closing of the sale we may be required to make certain payments (“Support Payments”) to OpCo. The Support Payments are payable on a monthly basis following the closing through the year ending December 31, 2023, based upon the performance of the Las Vegas Operations relative to certain agreed upon target metrics and subject to quarterly and annual adjustments. Our payment obligations are subject to an annual cap equal to $125 million for the annual period beginning July 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022 and $250 million for the annual period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2023. No Support Payments were made for the period post-close through June 30, 2022, and we do not anticipate making these payments.
Our U.S., SCL and Singapore credit facilities, as amended, contain various financial covenants, which include maintaining a maximum leverage ratio, or net debt, as defined per the respective facility agreements. As of June 30, 2023, our U.S. and Singapore leverage ratios, as defined per the respective credit facility agreements, were 3.7x and 2.2x, respectively, compared to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciationthe maximum leverage ratios allowed of 4.0x and amortization, as defined. In September 2021, LVSC extended4.5x, respectively. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the amendment,financial covenants under these credit facilities, we would be in default under the respective credit facilities.
On May 11, 2023, SCL entered into an amended and restated facility agreement (the “A&R Facility Agreement”) with respect to certain provisions of the 2018 SCL Credit Facility, pursuant to which lenders among other things, removed LVSC’shave (a) extended the termination date for the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) commitments and U.S. dollar commitments of the lenders that consented to the waivers and amendments in the A&R Facility Agreement (the “Extending Lenders”) from July 31, 2023 to July 31, 2025; (b) extended to (and including) January 1, 2024, the waiver period for the requirement for SCL to maintain acomply with the requirements that SCL ensure (i) the consolidated leverage ratio does not exceed 4.0x and (ii) the consolidated interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.5x; (c) amended the definition of consolidated total debt such that it excludes any financial indebtedness that is subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the A&R Facility Agreement (including the $1.0 billion subordinated unsecured term loan facility made available by the Company to SCL); (d) amended the maximum permitted consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of each of the fiscal quarter, through and includingfinancial quarters ending March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2022. In July 2021, SCL2024, and subsequent financial quarters to be 6.25x, 5.5x, 5.0x, 4.5x, and 4.0x respectively; and (e) extended to (and including) January 1, 2025 the waiverperiod during which SCL’s ability to declare or make any dividend payment or similar distribution is restricted if at such time (x) the Total Commitments (as defined in the A&R Facility Agreement) exceed $2.0 billion by SCL’s exercise of the option to increase the Total Commitments by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion and amendment request letter, pursuant to which lenders, among other things, waived SCL’s requirement to ensure(y) the consolidated leverage ratio does not exceed 4.0x and the interest coverage ratio is greater than 2.50x, through January 1, 2023. In September 2021, MBS extended4.0x, unless, after giving effect to such payment, the amendment letter, pursuant to which MBS will not have to comply withsum of (i) the leverage or interest coverage covenants asaggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents of SCL on such date and (ii) the aggregate amount of the last day ofundrawn facility under the fiscal quarter, throughA&R Facility Agreement and including December 31, 2022. Our compliance with our financial covenants for periods beyond December 31, 2022 could be affected by certain factors beyond our control, such as the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including current travel and border restrictions continuing in the future. We will pursue additional waivers to meet the required financial covenant ratios, which include a maximum leverage ratio of 4.0x, 4.0x and 4.5x under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, respectively, for periods beyond December 31, 2022 for LVSC and MBS and January 1, 2023 for SCL, if deemed necessary. We believe we will be successful in obtaining the additional waivers, although no assurance can be provided that such waivers will be granted, which could negatively impact our ability to be in compliance with our debt covenants for periods beyond December 31, 2022 for LVSC and MBS and January 1, 2023 for SCL.
Any defaultsunused commitments under our debt agreements would allowother credit facilities of SCL is greater than $2.0 billion. Pursuant to the A&R Facility Agreement, SCL will pay a customary fee to the Extending Lenders that consented. The amendments shall take effect with respect to the Extended Commitments on July 31, 2023.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the existing LVSC Revolving Credit Agreement was amended to (a) determine consolidated adjusted EBITDA on a year-to-date annualized basis during the period commencing on the effective date and remediesending on and including December 31, 2023, as defined under their respective agreements. Iffollows: (i) for the lenders werefiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter multiplied by four, (ii) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter and the immediately preceding fiscal quarter multiplied by two, and (iii) for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023, consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such fiscal quarter and the two immediately preceding fiscal quarters, multiplied by four-thirds; (b) extend the period during which LVSC is required to exercise their rights to accelerate the due datesmaintain a specified amount of minimum liquidity as of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance we would be ablelast day of each month to repayDecember 31, 2023; and (c) extend the period during which LVSC is unable to declare or refinancepay any amounts that may become due and payable underdividend or other distribution, unless liquidity is greater than $1.0 billion on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such agreements, which could force usdividend or distribution, to restructure or alter our operations or debt obligations.December 31, 2023.
We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.45$5.77 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16$124 million as of June 30, 2022,2023, which approximately $1.33$2.03 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $1.33$2.03 billion, approximately $951 million$1.66 billion is available to be repatriated, either in the form of dividends or via intercompany loans or advances, to the U.S., subject to levels of earnings, cash flow generated from gaming operations and wevarious other factors, including dividend requirements to third-party public stockholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL, compliance with certain local statutes, laws and regulations currently applicable to our subsidiaries and restrictions in connection with their contractual arrangements.

The remaining unrestricted amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are not available for repatriation primarily due to dividend requirements to third-party public stockholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL.
We believe thewe have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including unrestricted cash on handand cash equivalents of $5.77 billion and cash flow generated from operations, as well as the $2.96$3.67 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., SCL and Singapore revolving credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit, and SGD 3.69 billion (approximately $2.65$2.72 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022)2023) under our Singapore Delayed Draw Term Facility as of June 30, 20222023 (only available for draws after the construction cost estimate and construction schedule for the MBS Expansion Project have been delivered to the lenders), will be sufficient. We believe we are well positioned to support our continuing operations, maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facilities and fund the requirements in connection with the Macao concession renewal, our working capital needs, committed and planned capital expenditures, development opportunities, debt obligations and debt obligations.dividend commitments, as well as meet our commitments under the Macao Concession. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate global capital markets to consider future opportunities for enhancements of our capital structure. During
In July 2023, we announced the six months ended June 30, 2022, SCL drew down $67 millionresumption of our return of capital program. We reinstated our dividend program and HKD 4.96 billion (approximately $632 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2022) under its revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes.
We have suspended our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend program beginning in April 2020, and SCL suspended its dividend payments after paying its interim dividend for 2019of $0.20 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $153 million) to be paid on February 21, 2020.
We believe we have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity in place, including accessAugust 16, 2023, to available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities. We also believe we are well positioned to support our continuing operations, proceed with the requirements in connection with the Macao concession renewal and complete the major construction projects in Macao and Singapore that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capital expenditure reduction program to minimize cash outflow for non-essential items.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposures to market risk are interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our operations outside the United States, which we may manage through the use of futures, options, caps, forward contracts and similar instruments. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions.
As of June 30, 2022,2023, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $13.31$13.92 billion, compared to its contractual value of $15.47$14.79 billion. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is based on recent trades, if available, and indicative pricing from market information (level 2 inputs). A hypothetical 100 basis point change in market rates would cause the fair value of our long-term debt to change by $238$336 million. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in London Inter-Bank OfferedSecured Overnight Financing Rate (“LIBOR”SOFR”), Hong Kong Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) and Singapore OvernightSwap Offer Rate Average (“SORA”SOR”) would cause our annual interest cost on our long-term debt to change by approximately $43$46 million.
Foreign currency transaction losses were $31$24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, primarily due to U.S. dollar denominated debt issued by SCL and Singapore denominated intercompany debt reported in U.S. dollars.SCL. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/SGD and U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rates. Based on balances as of June 30, 2022,2023, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar/SGD exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $21$23 million, and a hypothetical 1% weakening of the U.S. dollar/pataca
exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $54$61 million (net of the impact from the foreign currency swap agreements). The pataca is pegged to the Hong Kong dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar (within a narrow range). We maintain a significant amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have obligations thereby reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations.
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Company as of June 30, 2022,2023, and have concluded they are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
It should be noted any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that had a material effect, or were reasonably likely to have a material effect, on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
