This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 11, 2026. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods. MGM Resorts International together with its subsidiaries may be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.”
Updates to Strategic Business Developments
In April 2026, we completed the sale of the operations of MGM Northfield Park for cash consideration of $546 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of this transaction. At closing, the master lease between the Company and VICI was amended to remove MGM Northfield Park and to reflect a $53 million reduction in annual cash rent.
Key Performance Indicators
Key performance indicators related to gaming and hotel revenue are:
•Gaming revenue indicators: table games drop, which is the total amount of cash and net markers issued and deposited into the drop box, and slot handle, which is the gross amount wagered in slot machines, (volume indicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. “Win” or “hold” percentages represent the net amount of gaming wins and losses in relation to table games drop or slot handle; and
•Hotel revenue indicators (for Las Vegas Strip Resorts) – hotel occupancy (a volume indicator); average daily rate (“ADR,” a price indicator); and revenue per available room (“RevPAR,” a summary measure of hotel results, combining ADR and occupancy rate). Our calculation of ADR, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day, includes the impact of complimentary rooms. Complimentary room rates are determined based on standalone selling price. Because the mix of rooms provided on a complimentary basis, particularly to casino customers, includes a disproportionate suite component, the composite ADR including complimentary rooms is slightly higher than the ADR for cash rooms, reflecting the higher retail value of suites.

Interest expense
Gross interest expense was $102 million and $106 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was $203 million and $214 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion on long-term debt and see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for discussion on issuances and repayments of long-term debt.
Other, net
Other, net was income of $9 million and expense of $161 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily comprised of a foreign currency transaction gain of $30 million primarily related to USD denominated debt held by a foreign subsidiary, partially offset by a net loss related to derivatives of $27 million. Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily comprised of a foreign currency transaction loss of $208 million primarily related to USD denominated debt held by a foreign subsidiary, partially offset by a net gain related to derivatives of $34 million.
Other, net was income of $14 million and expense of $172 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily comprised of a foreign currency transaction gain of $55 million primarily related to USD denominated debt held by a foreign subsidiary and interest and dividend income of $25 million, partially offset by a net loss related to derivatives of $46 million and a net loss related to debt and equity investments of $20 million.

25
Income taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 21.9% and 19.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 11.7% and 13.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for each of the periods was favorably impacted primarily by the mix of U.S. and foreign income, including Macau gaming profits which are exempt from complementary tax. In the current year periods, this benefit was partially offset by the non-tax deductible goodwill impairment.
Reportable Segment GAAP measure
“Segment Adjusted EBITDAR” is our reportable segment GAAP measure, which we utilize as the primary profit measure for our reportable segments and underlying operating segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is a measure defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, property transactions, net, triple net lease rent expense, income from unconsolidated affiliates, goodwill impairment, and also excludes corporate expense and stock compensation expense, which are not allocated to each operating segment. Triple net lease rent expense is the expense for rent to landlords under triple net operating leases for its domestic properties, the ground subleases of Beau Rivage and MGM National Harbor, and the land concessions at MGM China. “Segment Adjusted EBITDAR margin” is Segment Adjusted EBITDAR divided by related segment revenue.
Non-GAAP measures
“Same-Store Segment Adjusted EBITDAR” is Segment Adjusted EBITDAR further adjusted to exclude the Segment Adjusted EBITDAR of disposed operating segments from the beginning of the reporting period through the date of disposition. Accordingly, for Regional Operations, we have excluded the Segment Adjusted EBITDAR of MGM Northfield Park for the periods prior to its disposition on April 21, 2026, as applicable.
Same-Store Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is a non-GAAP measure and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes this measure is useful in providing meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations for operating segments that were consolidated for the full period presented to assist users of the financial statements in reviewing operating performance over time. Same-Store Segment Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance, considered in isolation, or as an alternative to our reportable segment GAAP measure or net income, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because this measure is not presented on a GAAP basis, and is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein. In addition, Same-Store Segment Adjusted EBITDAR may not be defined in the same manner by all companies and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies, and such differences may be material. A reconciliation of our reportable segment Segment Adjusted EBITDAR GAAP measure to Same-Store Segment Adjusted EBITDAR is included herein.
“Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses, property transactions, net, and goodwill impairment.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA information is a non-GAAP measure that is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because it is among the measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance, and because we believe this measure is widely used by analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors as a measure of operating performance in the gaming industry and as a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies. We believe that while items excluded from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods being presented. Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when we are developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within our properties, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period. However, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be construed as an alternative or substitute to any measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For example, we have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest
26
payments, income taxes, and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, while we believe that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of performance, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to or substitute for operating income or net income as an indicator of our performance, or as an alternative to or substitute for cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, other companies in the gaming and hospitality industries that report Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner and such differences may be material. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is included herein.

Our foreign subsidiaries, including MGM China and its subsidiaries, are also not guarantors of our registered principal debt arrangements. In the event that any subsidiary is no longer a guarantor of our senior credit facilities or any of our future capital markets indebtedness, that subsidiary will be released and relieved of its obligations to guarantee our existing registered principal debt arrangements. The indentures governing the registered principal debt arrangements further provide that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of, or capital stock in a subsidiary guarantor then such subsidiary guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its subsidiary guarantee.
The guarantees provided by the subsidiary guarantors rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of ours or such subsidiary guarantors, junior to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and effectively subordinated to any indebtedness and other obligations of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes. In addition, the obligations of each subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee are limited so as not to constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law, which may eliminate the subsidiary guarantor’s obligations or reduce such obligations to an amount that effectively makes the subsidiary guarantee lack value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Operating activities. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but can be affected by changes in working capital, the timing of significant interest payments, and income tax payments or refunds. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $1.2 billion in the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was due primarily to a decrease in Segment Adjusted EBITDAR at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations, and MGM China discussed within the Results of Operations section above, and changes in net working capital, partially offset by the change in cash paid (refunded) for income taxes.
Investing activities. Our investing cash flows can fluctuate significantly from year to year depending on our decisions with respect to strategic capital investments, business acquisitions or dispositions, and the timing of maintenance capital expenditures to maintain the quality of our properties. Capital expenditures related to regular investments in our existing properties can also vary depending on timing of larger remodel projects related to our public spaces and hotel rooms.
Cash used in investing activities was $109 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to cash used in investing activities of $605 million in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, we made payments of $396 million in capital expenditures, as further discussed below, contributed $138 million to unconsolidated affiliates, and we received $507 million in net cash proceeds related to the sale of the operations of MGM Northfield Park. In comparison, in the prior year period we made payments of $496 million in capital expenditures, as further discussed below, and contributed $85 million to unconsolidated affiliates.
Capital Expenditures
We made capital expenditures of $396 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, of which $77 million related to MGM China and is inclusive of capital expenditures relating to the gaming concession investment. Capital expenditures primarily related to room remodels and information technology.
28
We made capital expenditures of $496 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, of which $111 million related to MGM China and is inclusive of capital expenditures related to the gaming concession investment. Capital expenditures primarily related to room remodels, casino floor remodels and equipment, and information technology.
Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities was $551 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.1 billion in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net repayments of debt of $141 million, as further discussed below, paid $262 million for repurchases of our common stock, and distributed $83 million to noncontrolling interest owners. In comparison, in the prior year period, we had net repayments of debt of $161 million, as further discussed below, paid $717 million for repurchases of our common stock, and distributed $80 million to noncontrolling interest owners.
Borrowings and Repayments of Long-term Debt
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net repayments of debt of $141 million, which primarily consisted of:
•net repayments of $141 million on MGM China’s revolving credit facility,
•the repayment of MGM China’s $750 million of aggregate principal amount 5.875% notes due 2026 upon maturity with borrowings under the MGM China revolving credit facility, and
•the issuance of MGM China’s $750 million of aggregate principal amount 6.25% notes due 2033 of which the proceeds were used to repay a portion of amounts outstanding under the MGM China revolving credit facility and general corporate purposes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net repayments of debt of $161 million, which primarily consisted of the repayment of MGM China’s $500 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.25% notes due 2025 at maturity, partially offset by net borrowings of $339 million on MGM China’s revolving credit facility, which were used to fund the repayment of MGM China’s $500 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.25% notes due 2025.
Share Repurchases and Distributions to Noncontrolling Interest Owners
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we paid $262 million relating to repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plans. See Note 10 for further information on the stock repurchases. The remaining availability under the April 2025 $2.0 billion stock repurchase plan was $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2026.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we paid $717 million relating to repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plans.
In May 2026, upon shareholder approval, MGM China declared the final dividend for 2025 of $171 million, which was paid in June 2026, of which we received approximately $96 million and noncontrolling interests received approximately $75 million.
In May 2025, upon shareholder approval, MGM China declared the final dividend for 2024 of $122 million, which was paid in June 2025, of which we received approximately $68 million and noncontrolling interests received approximately $54 million.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Anticipated Uses of Cash
We require a certain amount of cash on hand to operate our businesses. In addition to required cash on hand for operations, we utilize corporate cash management procedures to minimize the amount of cash held on hand or in banks. Funds are swept from the accounts at most of our domestic properties daily into central bank accounts, and excess funds are invested overnight or are used to repay amounts drawn under our revolving credit facilities. In addition, from time to time we may use excess funds to repurchase our outstanding debt and equity securities subject to limitations in our revolving credit facility and Delaware law, as applicable. We have significant outstanding debt, interest payments, rent payments, and contractual obligations in addition to planned capital expenditures and commitments.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 billion, of which MGM China held $514 million, and we had $6.1 billion in principal amount of indebtedness, including $2.3 billion related to MGM China. No amounts were drawn on our revolving credit facility and, as of June 30, 2026, there was $344 million outstanding under MGM China’s revolving credit facility.
29
Our expected cash interest payments over the next twelve months, based on principal amounts of debt outstanding, contractual maturity dates, and interest rates, each as of June 30, 2026, are approximately $190 million to $210 million, excluding MGM China, and approximately $345 million to $365 million on a consolidated basis, which includes MGM China.
We are also required, as of June 30, 2026, to make annual contractual cash rent payments of $1.8 billion to our landlords over the next twelve months under triple net lease agreements, which triple net leases are also subject to annual escalators and also require us to pay substantially all costs associated with the lease, including real estate taxes, ground lease payments, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance (with each lease obligating us to spend a specified percentage of revenue at the properties on capital expenditures), in addition to the annual cash rent.
We have planned capital expenditures expected over the remainder of 2026 of approximately $575 million to $675 million on a consolidated basis, of which $75 million to $125 million relates to MGM China and is inclusive of the estimated amount of the gaming concession investment that relates to capital projects.
We continue to explore potential development or investment opportunities, such as expanding our global online gaming presence, which may require cash commitments in the future.
Additionally, we have cash commitments to fund MGM Osaka relating to the development of an integrated resort in Osaka, Japan of JPY428 billion, which represents our expected approximate 43.5% equity share (our ownership percentage is expected to fluctuate over the equity funding period, with us holding an expected approximate 43.5% ownership interest upon completion of such fundings). We expect to fund the estimated remaining amount of approximately JPY335.9 billion (approximately $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2026) on a quarterly basis through 2028, of which a portion we expect to fund with the proceeds from the senior secured yen credit facility. In July 2026, we funded JPY2.9 billion (approximately $18 million) of the committed amount. Project costs may increase due primarily to inflation, which increases may be offset by cost mitigation efforts and funded by additional financing. Refer to Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our commitments and guarantees.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since year end.
Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, other than those below.
Interest rate risk. We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed rate borrowings and short-term borrowings under our bank credit facilities. A change in interest rates generally does not have an impact upon our future earnings and cash flow for fixed-rate debt instruments. As fixed-rate debt matures, however, and if additional debt is acquired to fund the debt repayment, future earnings and cash flow may be affected by changes in interest rates. This effect would be realized in the periods subsequent to the periods when the debt matures.
As of June 30, 2026, variable rate borrowings represented approximately 11% of our total borrowings. The following table provides additional information about our gross long-term debt subject to changes in interest rates:
