−Removed: MGM Grand Paradise gaming concession — Refer to Note 7 to the financial statements
+Added: Goodwill – Empire City Reporting Unit — Refer to Note 7 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
−Removed: Gaming in Macau is currently administered by the Macau Government through concessions awarded to six different concessionaires.
−Removed: On December 16, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise was awarded a ten-year concession contract to permit the operation of games of chance or other games in casinos in Macau, which commenced on January 1, 2023.
−Removed: MGM Grand Paradise is required, among other things, to pay a fixed annual premium and an annual variable premium based on the number of gaming tables and machines for the term of the gaming concession.
−Removed: Additionally, upon the commencement of the gaming concession, the gaming assets were temporarily transferred to MGM Grand Paradise for the duration of the concession term in return for annual payments determined by square meters of the reverted casino areas.
−Removed: On January 1, 2023, MGM Grand Paradise recorded an intangible asset of $226 million for the right to conduct gaming and operate the reverted gaming equipment and gaming areas and a corresponding liability for the in-substance consideration to be paid over the concession term for such rights, which is the unconditional obligation of the fixed and
−Removed: variable annual premiums, as well as the payments related to the use of the reverted gaming assets.
−Removed: The initial value of the intangible asset and liability were measured as the present value of these payments as of January 1, 2023.
−Removed: We identified the recording of an intangible asset and a corresponding liability for the MGM Grand Paradise gaming concession as a critical audit matter because assessment of the applicable accounting guidance, the determination of which fixed and variable annual premium payments represented unconditional obligations, and the determination of the present value of such payments (including the selection of the discount rate) involved challenging, subjective, and complex judgments.
−Removed: Therefore, auditing this matter, involved a higher degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity, including the involvement of specialists.
+Added: The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value.
+Added: The Company used the discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to expected cash flows and projected financial results, including forecasted revenues and expenses (collectively the “forecast”), as well as the selection of discount rates.
+Added: Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both.
+Added: The goodwill balance for the Empire City Reporting Unit (“Empire City”) was $256 million as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: The fair value of Empire City exceeded its carrying value by a substantial margin as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
+Added: However, the value of Empire City is dependent upon the Company obtaining a New York commercial gaming license and the timing thereof, as well as other related assumptions that may change throughout the bidding process as additional information becomes known.
+Added: These assumptions could
+Added: change materially as a result of new or additional information and, if they do, could result in an impairment of up to the full amount of Empire City’s goodwill of $256 million.
+Added: Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of Empire City, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the forecast as well as the selection of the discount rate, specifically due to the sensitivity of the results of Empire City’s operations to obtaining a New York commercial gaming license and other related assumptions including the scope and timing related to (1) construction, (2) a potential transaction monetizing improvements and any rent associated with such transaction, and (3) incremental cash flows associated with an expanded facility including revenues and expenses, including license payments and gaming taxes, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
