SUMMARY
Recent Developments
Financial Impact of COVID-19
The spread of COVID-19 and developments surrounding the global pandemic have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. As of the date hereof, all of our properties around the world have re-opened to the public but are operating without all amenities and subject to certain occupancy limitations. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business—Although all of our properties have re-opened to the public, they are operating without all amenities and subject to certain occupancy limitations, and we are unable to predict the length of time it will take for the re-opened properties to return to normal operations or if such properties will be required to close again due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In addition, we have implemented certain measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at our properties, including limits on the number of gaming tables allowed to operate and on the number of seats at each table game, as well as slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, limitations on restaurant capacity, entertainment events and conventions as well as other measures to enforce social distancing.
During this time, we have remained committed to managing our expenses to maintain our robust liquidity position. As of August 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.6 billion, excluding cash and cash equivalents at the Operating Partnership and at MGM China. In addition, at October 1, 2020, approximately $922 million was available under our $1.5 billion revolving facility. In addition, we have significant valuable real estate and other holdings: we own MGM Springfield, a 50% interest in CityCenter in Las Vegas, an approximate 56% interest in MGM China, and a 56.7% economic interest in the Operating Partnership. We have also entered into an agreement with the Operating Partnership to receive cash for up to $1.4 billion of our existing Operating Partnership units, under which we currently have the option to receive cash for up to an additional $700 million remaining of our Operating Partnership units. We have no debt maturing prior to 2022. While our domestic properties were closed to the public during the second quarter of 2020, we had estimated that our monthly cash outflows, inclusive of net rent, interest, corporate and operating expenses and expected capital expenditures, would be approximately $270 million per month. Actual cash outflows during this period ended up slightly lower than expected during the months of April and May, with a significant reduction in the following months as all of our properties were reopened to the public.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is continuing to cause, significant disruption in the financial markets both globally and in the United States, and will continue to impact, possibly materially, our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the degree, or duration, to which our operations will be affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and the effects could be material. While we believe our strong liquidity position, valuable real estate assets and aggressive cost reduction initiatives will enable us to fund our current obligations for the foreseeable future, COVID-19 has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital in the future.
