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 Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 23.1%, 22.8%, 21.0%, 21.6%, 14.8% and 23.1% at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively.

Provision for credit losses increased due to increases of $26 million and $18 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operations, respectively. The increase at Marina Bay Sands resulted from an increase of $53 million in provision during the current period, partially offset by an increase of $27 million in settlement of previously reserved accounts. The increase at our Macao operations resulted from an increase of $24 million in provision for the current period, partially offset by an increase of $6 million in settlements of previously reserved accounts. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the patrons who owe us money from gaming activities. We believe the amount of our provision for credit losses in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
(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) 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 our operations with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. Integrated Resort companies, including LVSC, 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 LVSC, 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.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments, share repurchases 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.

Interest cost was primarily impacted by an increase in our weighted average total debt balance, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate.

June 2025, and to fund our share repurchases; and (ii) additional borrowings under the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility used to fund the payments due to the Singapore government, pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, related to the Additional Land Premium and for construction purposes, partially offset by (iii) the repayments of HKD 4.80 billion (approximately $613 million at exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction) under the 2024 SCL Revolving Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The weighted average interest rate decreased primarily due to lower interest rates on the 2025 Singapore Credit Facility and 2024 SCL Term Loan Facility, partially offset by higher rates on the LVSC senior notes issued in May 2026.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Interest income was $66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $84 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Other expense was $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Our income tax expense was $195 million on income before income taxes of $1.21 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, resulting in a 16.1% effective income tax rate. This compares to a 14.2% effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a 21% corporate income tax on our domestic operations.

Our operations in Macao are subject to a 12% statutory income tax rate, but in connection with the 35% gaming tax, VML and its peers received a corporate income tax exemption on gaming operations through December 31, 2027. Additionally, we entered into a shareholder dividend tax agreement with the Macao government, which provided for a payment at an applicable rate of gross gaming revenue for the tax year 2023 through the tax year 2025 as a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML’s shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML’s gaming profits. In January 2026, we requested this tax agreement be extended through December 31, 2027. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, anticipates a similar shareholder dividend tax agreement will be entered into for 2026 and 2027; however, there is no assurance such agreement will be granted.

The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $101 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $114 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These amounts were related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL. The decrease of $13 million was primarily due to a decrease in the net income of SCL for the six months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by our purchases of additional SCL shares during 2025, which resulted in our ownership of SCL having increased from 73.15% as of June 30, 2025 to 74.80% as of June 30, 2026.
