Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management has evaluated all of the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
New Pronouncements Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance annual income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company adopted the new accounting pronouncement on January 1, 2025, by applying the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, noting the adoption resulted in additional disclosure only. See “Note 13 —Income Taxes” for additional disclosures.
New Pronouncements Issued
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses, which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the guidance, noting the adoption will result in additional disclosures only and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods and should be applied prospectively. The Company determined it will not apply the practical expedient and therefore ASU 2025-05 will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)(“ASU 2025-06”), which revises the approach to accounting for internal-use software costs by eliminating all references to the stages of software development projects, thereby making the guidance adaptable to a variety of software development methodologies. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, on a prospective, modified or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the effect the guidance will have on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Subtopic 270)(“ASU 2025-11”), which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides “interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP.” The ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must “disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the guidance, noting the amendments relate to disclosures only and does not expect the amendments to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 3 —Loan Receivable
Seller Financing Loan Agreement
On February 23, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Las Vegas real property and operations, including The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center (the “Las Vegas Operations”), (the “Closing”), to VICI Properties L.P. (“PropCo”) and Pioneer OpCo, LLC (“OpCo”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.25 billion (the “Las Vegas Sale”). Under the terms of the agreements related to the Las Vegas Sale, OpCo acquired subsidiaries that hold the operating assets and liabilities of the Las Vegas Operations for approximately $1.05 billion in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and $1.20 billion in seller financing (the “Seller Loan”) in the form of asix-year term loan credit and security agreement (the “Seller Financing Loan Agreement”) and PropCo acquired subsidiaries that hold the real estate and real estate-related assets of the Las Vegas Operations for approximately $4.0 billion in cash.
The Seller Loan is guaranteed by the parent company of OpCo (“Holdings”) and certain subsidiaries of OpCo, and secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of OpCo, Holdings and certain subsidiaries of OpCo (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) (subject to customary exceptions and limitations), including a leasehold mortgage from OpCo over certain real estate that was sold to PropCo at the Closing and leased by OpCo.
The Seller Loan bears interest at a rate equal to 1.50% per annum for the calendar years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, and 4.25% per annum for each calendar year thereafter, and was subject to an increase of 1.00% per annum for any interest OpCo elected to pay by increasing the principal amount of the Seller Loan prior to January 1, 2024, and an increase of 1.50% per annum for any such election during the calendar year ended December 31, 2024. Any interest to be paid after December 31, 2024, will be paid in cash.
The Seller Loan can be repaid anytime on or prior to its maturity date of February 23, 2028 (six years after the date of the Closing).
The Seller Financing Loan Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary exceptions and thresholds. The Seller Financing Loan Agreement’s negative covenants restrict the ability of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur debt, (ii) create certain liens on their assets, (iii) dispose of their assets, (iv) make investments or restricted payments, including dividends, (v) merge, liquidate, dissolve, change their business or consolidate with other entities and (vi) enter into affiliate transactions.
The Seller Financing Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, cross defaults to material debt, bankruptcy and insolvency, breaches of covenants and inaccuracy of representations and warranties, subject to customary grace periods. Upon an event of default, the Company may declare any then-outstanding amounts due and payable and exercise other customary remedies available to a secured lender.
Based on the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the loan receivable, the Company believes it will collect all contractual amounts due under the loan. Accordingly, no provision for credit losses on the loan receivable was established as of December 31, 2025.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis at the stated interest rate and is recorded in “Interest income” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Interest income recognized on the loan was $54 million, $70 million and $29 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and OpCo elected payment-in-kind for a portion of this interest, thereby increasing the principal amount by $70 million and $29 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 PropCo madeno principal payments toward the Seller Financing Loan Agreement.
Note 4 —Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s restricted cash and cash equivalents includes amounts held in a separate cash deposit account as collateral for a bank guarantee, as further described below.
In December 2022, as required by the Macao Concession, VML provided a bank guarantee in favor of the Macao government of 1.0 billion patacas (approximately $125 million at exchange rates as defined in the bank guarantee contract) to secure the fulfillment of VML’s performance of the statutory and contractual obligations under the Concession. As stipulated in the bank guarantee contract, a minimum amount of 1.0 billion patacas, or $125 million, is required to be held within a cash deposit account as collateral in order to secure the bank guarantee. Any amount in excess of the minimum amount can be withdrawn from the cash deposits. The bank guarantee will remain in effect until 180 days after the end of the term of the Concession or the rescission of the Concession and was classified as noncurrent restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
