+Added: General and administrative expenses increased $19 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

+Added: Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA (1)
+Added: $ 209 $ 244 (14.3) %
+Added: __________________________
+Added: (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.
+Added: Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is net income (loss) from continuing operations 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: In particular, management utilizes consolidated adjusted property EBITDA to compare the operating profitability of its operations with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation.
+Added: Integrated Resort companies have historically reported adjusted property EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure to GAAP financial measures.
+Added: In order to view the operations of their properties on a more stand-alone basis, Integrated Resort companies, including Las Vegas Sands Corp., 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: We have significant uses of cash flow, including capital expenditures, dividend payments, interest payments, debt principal repayments and income taxes, which are not reflected in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA.
+Added: Not all companies calculate adjusted property EBITDA in the same manner.
+Added: As a result, our presentation of consolidated adjusted property EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

+Added: (a) During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $15 million and $7 million, respectively, of which $9 million and $4 million, respectively, was included in corporate expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations decreased $242 million compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to decreases in casino, room, food and beverage and mall revenues driven by decreased visitation at our properties as tighter border restrictions were introduced as a result of increased positive COVID-19 cases in the region.
+Added: Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands increased $207 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in casino, room and food and beverage operations due to increased visitation and loosened pandemic-related restrictions.

+Added: Weighted average total debt balance
+Added: $ 15,103 $ 14,590
+Added: Weighted average interest rate
+Added: Interest cost increased $1 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily resulting from an increase in our weighted average total debt balance primarily due to $951 million drawn on the SCL Revolving Facility during the twelve months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: The increase was partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average interest rate from 4.4% to 4.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
+Added: The decrease in interest cost was primarily due to the issuance of the 2.300%, 2.850% and 3.250% SCL Senior Notes in September 2021, which carry a lower interest rate than the 4.600% SCL Senior Notes extinguished in September 2021.
+Added: Other Factors Affecting Earnings
+Added: Other expense was $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to other income of $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

+Added: Our income tax expense was $110 million on a loss before income taxes of $304 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in a 36.2% effective income tax rate.
+Added: This compares to a (2.1)% effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
+Added: The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a 21% corporate income tax on our domestic operations.
+Added: Our operations in Macao are subject to a 12% statutory income tax rate, but in connection with the 35% gaming tax, our subsidiaries in Macao and their peers received an income tax exemption on gaming operations through June 26, 2022.
+Added: In July 2022, we requested an additional extension of our income tax exemption for gaming operations through December 31, 2022;
+Added: however, there is no assurance we will receive the additional extension.
+Added: Our income tax expense is based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to year-to-date operating results in accordance with interim accounting guidelines.
+Added: The net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $127 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $50 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
