Las Vegas Sands Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter

and Full Year 2008 Results

 

Fourth Quarter 2008 Net Revenue Increases 4.3% to $1.09 Billion

 

Full Year 2008 Net Revenue Increases 48.8% to $4.39 Billion

 

Cost Savings Programs Target Increased to Generate Approximately

$250 Million in Annualized Savings

 

Las Vegas, NV (February 11, 2009)—Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS), today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.

 

Company-Wide Operating Results

 

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 increased 4.3% to $1.09 billion, compared to $1.05 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDAR in the fourth quarter of 2008 decreased 17.7% to $244.0 million, compared to $296.3 million in the year-ago quarter. On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, operating loss, which includes non-cash impairment charges of $37.6 million primarily related to assets associated with business development activities in Asia, was $34.4 million versus operating income of $133.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

Adjusted net loss (see note 1) was $17.8 million compared to an adjusted net income of $71.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The decrease in adjusted net income of $88.9 million reflects increases in net interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense. On a GAAP basis, net loss attributable to common stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $136.5 million, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $39.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The decrease in GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $176.4 million reflects increases in net interest expense, pre-opening expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and asset impairment loss as well as accumulated dividends on preferred stock, partially offset by a benefit for income taxes and an increase in other income, which is primarily composed of foreign currency gains. A portion of the net loss attributable to common stockholders is driven by increased costs related to properties that have not yet opened or have yet to reach their full revenue potential.

 

Full-year 2008 net revenue increased 48.8% to $4.39 billion compared to $2.95 billion in 2007. Adjusted net income was $44.8 million in 2008, compared to adjusted net income of $309.5 million in 2007. The decrease in adjusted net income of $264.7 million was driven principally by the full-year impact of increased operating costs, increases in depreciation and amortization expense of $304.4 million, and net interest expense of $229.7 million, partially offset by an increase in revenues. On a GAAP basis, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $188.8 million in 2008, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $116.7 million in

2007. The decrease in GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $305.5 million was principally driven by the increases in operating costs, depreciation and amortization expense, and net interest expense mentioned above. A portion of the net loss attributable to common stockholders is driven by increased costs related to properties that have not yet opened or have yet to reach their full revenue potential.

 

Fourth Quarter Highlights

 

William P. Weidner, president and COO stated, “We remain focused on the execution of our business plan as presented in November of 2008. That plan calls for us to focus on three basic objectives. First, to maximize our cash flow from current operations in Las Vegas and Macao, principally through the implementation of cost savings programs and the achievement of operating efficiencies throughout our company. Second, to complete on time and on budget our properties currently under development in Singapore and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Third, to pursue the sale of non-core assets, which has always been an important component of our business plan.

 

"Our fourth quarter results reflect a respectable operating performance against our first objective, as our properties in Las Vegas and Macao delivered solid cash flows in the face of challenging economic environments in both markets. Our target for cost savings initiatives has been increased to $250 million on an annual basis and these savings are designed to reduce our structural costs for a leaner environment while preserving the service standards that our guests expect us to deliver.

 

"The Venetian Macao continues to generate strong cash flow despite difficult operating conditions, particularly in the Rolling Chip segment of the Macao marketplace. Visitation to The Venetian Macao increased by 17.7% this quarter compared to the quarter one year ago, while visitation to Macao overall increased by approximately 2.6% in the same period. The 6.7 million fourth quarter visitors to The Venetian Macao, an average of nearly 73,000 visitors per day, were the most ever to visit the property in its history. That strong visitation provided the foundation for record slot play and the property’s most profitable quarter for hotel operations. Our CotaiJet ferry service delivered increased visitation to the Cotai Strip as both its passenger count and its share of the Hong Kong to Macao ferry route increased during the quarter.

 

"The operating results of The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas clearly reflect the demanding operating environment in Las Vegas. Our efforts to control costs and generate efficiencies across our integrated resort complex expanded throughout the fourth quarter. These ongoing efforts will allow us to maximize our cash flows from our Las Vegas properties in the current operating environment, and to benefit from those efficiencies as conditions in Las Vegas improve in the future,” said Mr. Weidner.

 

Las Vegas Fourth Quarter Operating Results

 

Despite the weakened economy and difficult operating conditions in Las Vegas, The Venetian and The Palazzo were able to generate solid cash flow. All our revenue categories showed increases compared to last year, reflecting the opening of The Palazzo. Hotel revenues were up compared to last year, with occupancy running at 93.7% across our Las Vegas properties. Gaming volumes were solid for our Las Vegas operations, with table games drop up 36.9% and slot handle up 33.3% compared to the fourth quarter last year. Our table games win percentage of 19.9% was down significantly compared to our hold of 24.1% in last year’s fourth quarter. The Palazzo completed its first full year of operations and has gained traction with both gaming and hotel customers. Our group business continues to fill hotel rooms during the slower mid-week periods, and our market-leading convention and group meeting assets will allow us to target our marketing efforts to those group segments that continue holding meetings despite weaker economic conditions. We remain focused on opportunities to reduce our cost structure and have increased our cost savings target to approximately $125 million of annualized cost savings across our Las Vegas operations. We are confident that these initiatives, together with the advantages of our group strategy and our broad array of product offerings, will allow us to weather the storm in Las Vegas and reap the benefits of a lower cost structure when conditions improve.

Venetian Macao Fourth Quarter Operating Results

 

The Venetian Macao delivered a solid operating performance in Macao’s current operating environment. Visitation at The Venetian Macao remains robust, setting another quarterly record with more than 6.7 million visitors to the property during the fourth quarter. The Venetian Macao has now welcomed over 31 million visitors since opening in August 2007, illustrating the broad appeal of our market-leading investments in Asia's first integrated resort. The record setting number of visitors to the property contributed to another quarterly record in slot play, while hotel revenues also set a quarterly record for the property, with ADR of $236 and occupancy of hotel rooms greater than 90%. We are pleased with the maturation process of the Venetian Macao and the growing diversification of its revenue streams. The diversified nature of The Venetian Macao’s cash flows is an important asset in today’s operating environment. While we expect the Macao market overall to experience declining Rolling Chip play in 2009 compared to 2008, only approximately 15% of The Venetian Macao’s cash flow was derived from the Rolling Chip play segment in the fourth quarter of 2008. Our cost savings programs are also an important component of our operating strategy in Macao, and given the suspension of our development plans on sites five and six on the Cotai Strip, we have additional opportunities to reduce our cost structure with a goal to generate total annual cost savings of approximately $125 million across all of our Macao operations.

While development work on future properties on the Cotai Strip has been suspended in the current environment, we will continue targeted investments in transportation infrastructure to encourage visitation and improve the customer experience for Macao's visitors. Our CotaiJet ferry service increased its sailings in January to provide 72 daily sailings between Hong Kong's Shun Tak ferry terminal and the Cotai Strip. Additional ferries will be placed into service this Spring, providing us with the ability to run ferries on 15 minutes intervals as needed to meet demand.

Four Seasons Macao Fourth Quarter Operating Results

 

The opening of the Four Seasons Macao in August 2008 brought the world-class Four Seasons brand service to the Cotai Strip, broadening and enhancing the appeal of Macao as a business and leisure destination. While the property’s ramp has been slower than we would have hoped, ADR at the hotel is the highest in the Macao marketplace, and mass gaming revenues are expanding. The operating performance of the Four Seasons Macao will benefit from the opening of additional amenities in the future, including

two floors of exclusive Paiza Club gaming capacity, and 19 private Paiza mansions, each with its own private gaming area. These new offerings are targeted to open in April, and the introduction of these assets will coincide with the launch of a new marketing campaign to introduce the property’s complete set of amenities to the marketplace.

 

Net revenues for the Four Seasons Macao was $42.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, which consisted primarily of casino revenues of $30.2 million. Rolling Chip volume for the quarter was $464.9 million and our Rolling Chip win percentage was 3.07%. Non-Rolling drop was $83.1 million and our Non-Rolling win percentage was 21.6%. Slot handle totaled $30.3 million and our hold percentage was 5.4%.

 

Sands Macao Fourth Quarter Operating Results

 

Although the results of the Sands Macao clearly reflect the competitive environment for gaming customers on the Macao peninsula, our gaming volumes have remained healthy and reflect the unique market positioning of the Sands Macao on the Macao peninsula. Our Rolling Chip table games play was stronger compared to the same quarter last year, and while our mass volumes were down year over year, they continue to reflect healthy play. Looking ahead, we expect to improve our performance at the property by further reducing the Sands' cost structure.

Other Factors Affecting Earnings

 

Other Asia adjusted property EBITDAR, principally consisting of our CotaiJet ferry service and other regional marketing activities, had a negative impact on consolidated adjusted property EBITDAR of $15.4 million, of which $3.8 million related to the current operations of our CotaiJet ferry service and $11.6 million related to regional marketing activities.

 

Pre-opening expenses related principally to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, Sands Bethlehem, the Four Seasons Macao, and other resorts on the Cotai Strip were $56.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to $36.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was $142.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to $81.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase was principally driven by increased depreciation related to the openings of The Palazzo Las Vegas and the Four Seasons Macao.

 

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $128.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to $83.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase is primarily the result of reduced capitalized interest during the quarter and increased borrowings to support the company's development projects. Capitalized interest was $30.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to $54.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

Impairment losses recognized in the quarter related to assets associated with marketing activities in Asia and resulted in a non-cash charge of $37.6 million.

 

Corporate expense was $21.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to $27.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The decrease was principally driven by decreased incentive compensation and legal expenses.

 

Other income (expense), which is principally composed of foreign currency gains or losses, reflects income of $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to an expense of $16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

The company's effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 reflects a beneficial rate of 26.2%. The rate is primarily driven by the 0% tax rate on our Macao gaming operations and non-deductible pre-opening expenses and non-gaming losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no current tax benefit is provided.

 

Balance Sheet Items

 

Unrestricted cash balances as of December 31, 2008, stood at $3.04 billion while restricted cash balances were $194.8 million. Of the restricted cash balances, $124.1 million is restricted for Macao-related construction and $61.9 million is restricted for construction of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

 

As of December 31, 2008, total debt outstanding, including the current portion, was $10.47 billion. Principal payments required to be repaid in 2009 and 2010 total $114.6 million and $197.6 million, respectively.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter totaled $880.6 million. This includes construction and development activities of $479.2 million in Macao, $188.8 million for Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, $106.8 million at Sands Bethlehem, and $105.8 million in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas capital expenditures were principally for The Palazzo and the Shoppes at The Palazzo, and included approximately $30.0 million at the suspended St. Regis Residences in Las Vegas.

Development Update

 

Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman and CEO stated, “Development work on Marina Bay Sands, in Singapore, and Sands Bethlehem, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, continues to progress, with both projects generally tracking to our previously disclosed budgets and opening schedules. In Bethlehem, we are preparing for an opening of Sands Bethlehem in less than four months, in the second quarter of 2009, while in Singapore, we are targeting an opening date for Marina Bay Sands in less than one year. We look forward to bringing these two new properties online, and we expect each to significantly increase our cash flows.”

 

Concluding Comments

 

Mr. Adelson continued, “We remain confident that the revised business plan we introduced in November provides the flexibility to manage through the current operating conditions in Las Vegas and Macao while preserving the value of our important developments in Singapore and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. While developments beyond Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and Sands Bethlehem in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania are suspended until both the operating and financing environments improve, the remainder of our plan, including the sale of non-core assets, remains consistent with my original vision for the company.”

Within the company’s fourth quarter 2008 press release, the company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures including “adjusted net income (loss),” “adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share,” “adjusted EBITDA,” and “adjusted property EBITDAR.” Whenever such information is presented, the company has complied with the provisions of the rules under Regulation G and Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. The specific reasons why the company’s management believes that the presentation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows has been provided in the Form 8-K filed in connection with this press release.

 

Adjusted EBITDA consists of operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization impairment loss, gain or loss on disposal of assets, pre-opening expense, development expense, and stock-based compensation. Adjusted property EBITDAR consists of operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, impairment loss, gain or loss on disposal of assets, pre-opening expense, development expense, stock-based compensation, corporate expense, and rental expense.
