−Removed: Accounting for the sale and leaseback of real estate assets
−Removed: Description of the Matter As described in Notes 1, 5 and 15 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company closed on a sale-leaseback arrangement with respect to certain real estate assets related to Encore Boston Harbor (the "EBH Transaction") during the year ended December 31, 2022.
−Removed: Upon closing of the EBH Transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion in exchange for the sale of such real estate assets, recognized a gain on sale of $182.0 million, and concurrently entered into a lease agreement with respect to the sold assets for the purpose of continuing to operate the Encore Boston Harbor integrated resort.
−Removed: Upon entering into the lease agreement, the Company recognized an operating lease asset and a corresponding operating lease liability of $1.5 billion.
−Removed: Auditing management’s evaluation of the EBH Transaction was especially challenging due to the complexity in management’s assessment of (i) whether control of the underlying real estate assets was transferred by the Company and (ii) the lease classification as an operating or a finance lease.
−Removed: Auditing these assessments made by management involved especially challenging auditor judgment, including the need to involve our valuation specialists.
−Removed: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s assessment of the accounting for the EBH transaction, including controls over the significant judgments made in the assessment, estimates used in the assessment and the completeness and accuracy of data used by management.
−Removed: To test the accounting for the EBH Transaction, our audit procedures included, among others, (i) inspection of the sale and leaseback agreements, (ii) evaluating the significant judgments made by management in the accounting assessment (e.g.
−Removed: when control of the asset transferred to the buyer-lessor), and (iii) evaluating the classification of the lease under ASC 842, including evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management.
−Removed: With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we also tested the fair value of the property sold and the incremental borrowing rate used in the lease classification test by developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the estimates selected by management.
+Added: Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
+Added: Description of the Matter As more fully described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2023, the Company had deferred tax assets related to foreign tax credit carryforwards, disallowed interest expense carryforwards and other U.S.
+Added: and foreign deferred tax assets of $2.2 billion reduced by a $1.3 billion valuation allowance.
+Added: Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, in management’s judgment it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
+Added: During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company released $1.1 billion of its previously recorded valuation allowance.
+Added: The Company considered the achievement of sustained profitability and cumulative income in the U.S., as well as forecasted income and tax planning strategies to be significant forms of positive evidence.
+Added: The Company determined that the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence and supported a release of a portion of the valuation allowance.
+Added: Auditing management’s assessment of the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets involved complex judgments due to the significant estimation required in measuring the future utilization of deferred tax assets.
+Added: These deferred tax assets are affected by assumptions, including forecasted domestic and foreign-sourced income and related inter-company royalties, the amount of interest expense and other expenses allocated to foreign sourced income and the execution of tax planning strategies.
+Added: Fluctuations in actual results from those forecasted can have a material impact on the recoverability of these deferred tax assets.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s process for evaluating the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including controls over management’s review of its forecasted income and significant assumptions described above and identification and use of available tax planning strategies.
+Added: To test the valuation of deferred tax assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis.
+Added: We compared the significant assumptions used by management to the Company’s business plans and current industry and economic trends and evaluated whether changes to the Company’s business plans, economic trends and other factors would affect the significant assumptions.
+Added: We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the valuation allowance that would result from changes in the assumptions.
+Added: We involved our tax professionals to evaluate the application of tax law in the Company’s available tax planning strategies, the scheduling of the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and carryforward amounts, and the evaluation of the utilization of the deferred tax assets.
