Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.
Additional information about market risks to which we are exposed is included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Interest Rate Risks
One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, supplemented by hedging activities as believed by us to be appropriate. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Retail Term Loan, in October 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $600.0 million, maturing in February 2027. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the variable component of the interest rate on the Retail Term Loan at 3.385% through February 2027.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2026, approximately 81% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2026 and after giving effect to the interest rate swap on the Retail Term Loan, an assumed 100 basis point change in the variable rates would cause our annual interest expense to change by $21.0 million.
Foreign Currency Risks
We expect most of the revenues and expenses for any casino that we operate in Macau will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars or Macau patacas; however, a significant portion of the debt issued by WML is denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rates resulting in weakening of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have materially adverse effects on our results, financial condition and ability to service debt.
The Company is a party to foreign currency swap agreements with the objective of managing foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the outstanding U.S. dollar denominated WML Senior Notes. The foreign currency swaps exchange predetermined amounts of Hong Kong dollars for U.S. dollars at a contractual spot rate, and as of June 30, 2026, have an aggregate notional amount of $4.10 billion, and have maturities between October 2027 and August 2030. For additional information, refer to Note 7, "Derivative Instruments" of Part I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on our balances as of June 30, 2026 and after giving effect to our foreign currency swaps, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would cause a foreign currency gain/loss of $2.9 million.
