Las Vegas, NV (November 1, 2012) — Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Third Quarter Overview

Mr. Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Despite low hold on table games play at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, our financial results reflect strong revenue growth and cash flow for the quarter.

“In Macao, we delivered record financial results, with outstanding growth and strong operating momentum reflected in every segment of our business.  We also made strong progress on the execution of our Cotai Strip development plan, as we successfully opened the second phase of Sands Cotai Central, the largest Integrated Resort development in the company’s history and a key component of our Cotai Strip master plan.  We expect the attractions and offerings of Sands Cotai Central, and in particular its vast inventory of hotel rooms and suites, to meaningfully benefit Macao and the Cotai Strip
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
as it strengthens its position as one of the leading business and leisure destinations in the world.  Looking ahead, we remain confident that our soon to be interconnected Cotai Strip properties, The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Plaza Casino, and Sands Cotai Central, with 28 million square feet of Integrated Resort capacity, will provide an outstanding platform for growth in Macao in the years ahead.

“The prudent management of our cash flow, including the ability to both invest in future growth and to increase the return of capital to our shareholders, remains a high priority for the company.  The board of directors of Las Vegas Sands is pleased to increase the quarterly dividend by 40% to $0.35 per common share, or $1.40 per common share per year, beginning in the first quarter of 2013. The company also declared its fourth consecutive quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share to be paid on December 28, 2012 to shareholders of record as of December 20, 2012.”

Company-Wide Operating Results

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $2.71 billion, an increase of 12.5% compared to $2.41 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA in the third quarter of 2012 was $876.9 million, a decrease of 5.1% compared to $924.1 million in the year-ago quarter.  On a hold-adjusted basis, adjusted property EBITDA was $950.7 million.  Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA margin decreased to 32.4% in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 38.4% in the third quarter of 2011. The quarter’s adjusted property EBITDA and EBITDA margin were unfavorably impacted compared to the quarter one year ago due to lower hold (approximately $74 million adjusted property EBITDA impact) and increased provisions for accounts receivable (approximately $15 million in adjusted property EBITDA impact) in Singapore.

On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, operating income in the third quarter of 2012 decreased 15.6% to $534.1 million, compared to $632.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in operating income was principally due to the previously mentioned reasons as well as pre-opening expenses and higher depreciation and amortization related to the opening of Sands Cotai Central.

Adjusted net income (see Note 1) decreased to $382.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $444.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in adjusted net income was principally driven by the decrease in operating income described above.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2012 decreased 1.1% to $349.8 million, compared to $353.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, while diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2012 decreased 4.5% to $0.42, compared to $0.44 in the prior year quarter. The decrease in net income attributable to common stockholders reflected the decrease in operating income described above, partially offset by the benefit from the discontinuation of preferred stock dividends and the accretion of preferred stock resulting from the redemption of the company’s outstanding preferred stock in November 2011.


Sands China Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results

On a GAAP basis, total net revenues for Sands China Ltd. increased 36.7% to $1.64 billion in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $1.20 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted property EBITDA for Sands China Ltd. increased 24.3% to $485.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $390.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. Net income for Sands China Ltd. increased 17.4% to $326.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $278.3 million in the third quarter of 2011.

The Venetian Macao Third Quarter Operating Results

The Venetian Macao continued to enjoy strong visitation and financial performance. The property delivered a record adjusted property EBITDA of $299.0 million, an increase of 18.3% compared to $252.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. Operating results were positively impacted by higher than expected Rolling Chip win percentage of 3.32%, compared to 2.66% in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted property EBITDA margin increased to 38.7% in the third quarter of 2012 from 36.7% in the year-ago quarter. Non-Rolling Chip drop was $1.14 billion for the quarter, an increase of 6.2% compared to the same quarter one year ago, while Non-Rolling Chip win percentage increased to 31.3%.  Rolling Chip volume during the quarter decreased 11.9% to $11.20 billion partially due to Paiza Club renovations, which resulted in 23 fewer active rolling tables on average during the quarter. Slot handle was $1.26 billion, an increase of 40.8% compared to the quarter one year ago. Mall revenues increased 17.5% during the quarter compared to the quarter last year.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

Other Asia adjusted property EBITDA, which is principally composed of our CotaiJet ferry operation, was negative $2.1 million during the quarter, compared to a profit of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, which included a one-time benefit for a sales tax refund of approximately $7 million.

Pre-opening expenses, related primarily to Sands Cotai Central on the Cotai Strip in Macao, increased to $39.9 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $226.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $200.1 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $62.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $70.8 million during the third quarter of 2011. The decrease was principally the result of a lower average borrowing cost, as well as lower debt balances outstanding during the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011.  Capitalized interest was $9.9 million during the third quarter of 2012, compared to $34.9 million during the third quarter of 2011.  Our weighted average borrowing cost in the third quarter of 2012 was 2.9%.

Corporate expense was $54.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $54.0 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Other income, which was principally composed of foreign currency gains, was $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to other expense of $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2011.

The company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 was 7.0%. The tax rate is primarily driven by a provision for the earnings from Marina Bay Sands at the 17% Singapore income tax rate.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2012 of $95.2 million was principally related to Sands China Ltd.


Balance Sheet Items

Unrestricted cash balances as of September 30, 2012, were $3.75 billion.

As of September 30, 2012, total debt outstanding, including the current portion, was $9.50 billion. Total principal payments for the remainder of 2012 and the full year 2013 are approximately $8.7 million and $97.5 million, respectively.


Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures during the third quarter totaled $327.3 million, including construction and development activities of $231.8 million in Macao, $79.8 million in Las Vegas, $10.9 million at Marina Bay Sands, and $4.8 million at Sands Bethlehem.
