ANNUAL REPORT 2022 FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, I am pleased to present to you our 2022 Annual Report. Beginning in early 2020, the reduction in travel and tourism spending related to the pandemic dramatically impacted the operating environment in each of our markets. This reduction in travel and tourism spending continued to impact our financial results throughout 2021 and 2022. We were fortunate that a recovery in travel and tourism spending in Singapore began in April 2022, as many travel restrictions were relaxed. In Macao, many travel restrictions were relaxed in January 2023, and the recovery process in that market is now underway. We have confidence that travel and tourism spending in each of our markets will exhibit strong growth as travel and tourism spending continue the recovery process in 2023 and the years ahead. Over the last three years, we have invested in strategic initiatives that will contribute to future growth as the recovery in travel and tourism spending comes to fruition. In addition, we have maintained our focus on the safety and well-being of our Team Members and guests, and on providing support to those most impacted in our host communities of Macao and Singapore. While we implemented a wide range of cost control measures over the last three years, we continued to maintain our commitments to our employees, avoid mass workforce reductions and protect jobs and health care benefits for our Team Members. Our focus on the well-being of our people and our communities directly reflects the values of our visionary founder, Mr. Sheldon G. Adelson, who passed away in 2021. We remain deeply committed to continuing to execute his vision for the Company while building upon his legacy. Nowhere is that legacy more evident than in our market leading investments in Macao. Sands China has now invested more than $15 billion to deliver on our promise to help Macao in its economic diversification and its continued evolution into Asia’s leading business and leisure tourism destination. We were gratified to receive in late 2022 a concession to operate in Macao through 2032, which will enable us to continue our decades-long commitment to investing in the business and leisure tourism appeal of Macao and to contribute to its growth objectives as a world center of business and leisure tourism. Despite the challenging operating environment in 2020, 2021 and 2022, our scale and financial strength allowed us to continue our capital investment programs in support of Macao’s diversification and long-term development objectives throughout the last three years. These expansion programs included the addition of luxurious new suite offerings at the Grand Suites at Four Seasons, as well as the expansion and transformation of Sands Cotai Central into a new destination Integrated Resort, The Londoner Macao. We believe these new offerings, together with the unrivaled scale of our additional Integrated Resort offerings in Macao, position us exceedingly well to benefit from the travel and tourism recovery that is now underway. We have also continued to invest in our existing facilities at Marina Bay Sands. Our ongoing $1 billion investment program, designed to meaningfully enhance our suite product offerings and the appeal of our market-leading Integrated Resort in Singapore to premium customers seeking immersive travel experiences, will be completed by the end of 2023. In addition, we remain enthusiastic about our plans for the expansion of Marina Bay Sands in the years ahead. The ongoing recovery in travel and tourism spending in Singapore that began in 2022 will continue during 2023 and the years ahead. We remain optimistic that a full recovery in travel and tourism spending in Singapore will occur, and we look forward to continuing to contribute to the success of Singapore as a leading leisure and business tourism destination. Additionally, we reached an agreement in March of 2021 to sell our Las Vegas operations and assets for approximately $6.25 billion, and we completed that sale in the first quarter of 2022. The proceeds from the sale enhanced our balance sheet strength and liquidity and enabled us to continue investing in future growth opportunities in both Macao and Singapore, while pursuing additional growth opportunities in new markets. Looking ahead, we believe we are very well positioned to deliver growth as travel and tourism spending in Asia continue to recover. We look forward to future investment in our properties and communities in both Macao and Singapore. In addition, we believe there are meaningful potential development opportunities in emerging jurisdictions in both the U.S. and elsewhere where capital investment could provide a substantial economic benefit to those jurisdictions while delivering strong returns for the Company. We remain deeply committed to our mission of enhancing the leisure and business tourism appeal of our host markets, creating local employment opportunities, investing in our people and our communities, and providing growth opportunities for local businesses while protecting our environment. Our success in these areas is only possible through the contributions of our Team Members. They have responded to the challenges and opportunities presented during the last three years with optimism, creativity, and resilience. I am grateful for their efforts. Thank you for the confidence you have placed in our Company. We look forward to sharing our ongoing success with you in the years ahead. Robert G.

Strengths and Strategies We believe we have a number of strengths that diffff eff rentiate our business frff om our competitors, including: Diversififf ed, high quality Integrated Resort offff eff rings with substantial non-gaming amenities. Our Integrated Resorts feff aturt e non-gaming attractions and amenities including world-class entertainment, expansive al of our retail offff eff rings and market-leading MICE faff cilities.

Substantial and diversififf ed cash flff ow frff om existing operations. Our Integrated Resorts in Macao and Singapor e have contributed 53% and 47% of our total adjusted property EBITDA, respectively, during the previous a fiff ve years. In each of these jurisdictions, our cash flff ow frff om operations was derived frff om a combination of gaming and non-gaming sources, including retail malls, hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and MICE. ff Market leadership in the growing high-margin mass market gaming segment. In our gaming business, we focff us on the high-margin mass gaming segment. Our combined SCL properties had the highest percentage of oximately 30% gaming win frff om mass tabla es and slots of the Macao operators, with an average market share of appr during the previous fiff ve years. Management estimates our mass market tabla e revenues typically generated a gross margin substantially higher than the gross margin on our VIP tabla e revenues. Additionally, gross gaming revenue frff om mass tabla es and slots has contributed to appr oximately two-thirds of total gross gaming revenue at Marina Bay Sands during the previous fiff ve years. a a Established brands with broad regional and international market awareness and appeal. Through a combination of its diversity of amenities, scale of faff cilities and its distinctive design, The Venetian Macao has remained the forff emost example of a themed Integrated Resort in Macao. The Parisian Macao, our themed property with an iconic replica of the Eiffff eff l Tower and other attractions, along with The Londoner Macao, with its phased opening throughout 2022, has establa ished an interconnected critical mass of European-themed Integrated Resorts that attract multiple segments of leisure and business tourism and drive broad brand awareness both regionally and globally. As awareness of The Londoner Macao increases, we believe this Integrated Resort has both the quality and scale to enhance the overall reputation and recognition of our Macao portfolff io. Marina Bay Sands is an iconic, architecturt ally signififf cant Integrated Resort with meaningfulff scale and of amenities and customer experiences shared on social media, visitation. Due to its distinctive design, multitude e skyline, Marina Bay Sands is recognized throughout Asia and and a prominent position as part of the Singapor globally. We believe the brand of Marina Bay Sands is unique and as a result, the property is oftff en feff aturt ed prominently on social media, in fiff lmed entertainment and in other media. t a Experienced management team with a proven track record.

This indebtedness could have important consequences to us. For example, it could: • make it more diffff iff cult forff us to satisfyff our debt service obligations; • • • • • • increase our vulnerabia lity to general adverse economic and industryrr conditions; impair our abia lity to obtain additional fiff nancing in the futff urt e forff rr expenditurt es, development projects, acquisitions or general corpor ate purpos r es; working capia tal needs, capia tal require us to dedicate a signififf cant portion of our cash flff ow frff om operations to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, which would reduce the funds our operations and development projects; availabla e forff ff limit our flff exibility in planning forff operate; , or reacting to, changes in the business and the industryrr in which we place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and subject us to higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates. Subject to appl a icabla e laws, including gaming laws, and certain agreed upon exceptions, our Singapor a e debt is secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of our Singapor a e operations. a Our abia lity to timely refiff nance and replace our indebtedness in the futff urt e will depend upon general economic oval required by local government regulators, adequate liquidity in the and credit market conditions, potential appr global credit markets, the particular circumstances of the gaming industry,rr and prevalent regulations and our cash flff ow and operations, in each case as evaluated at the time of such potential refiff nancing or replacement.

If we are unabla e to refiff nance or generate suffff iff cient cash flff ow frff om operations to repay our indebtedness on a timely basis, we might be forff ced to seek alternate forff ms of fiff nancing, dispose of certain assets or minimize capia tal expenditurt es and other investments, or not make dividend payments. There is no assurance any of these alternatives would be availabla e to us, if at all, on satisfaff ctoryrr terms, on terms that would not be disadvantageous to us, or on terms that would not require us to breach the terms and conditions of our existing or futff urt e debt agreements. ff We may attempt to arrange additional fiff nancing to fund the remainder of our planned, and any futff urt e, development projects. If we are required to raise additional capia tal in the futff urt e, our access to and cost of fiff nancing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global fiff nancing markets, the availabia lity of suffff iff cient amounts of fiff nancing, our prospects and our credit ratings. If our credit ratings were to be or us, our downgraded, or general market conditions were to ascribe higher risk to our rating levels, our industry,rr access to capia tal and the cost of any debt fiff nancing would be furff ther negatively impacted.

Our current debt service obligations contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose signififf cant operating and fiff nancial restrictions on us, and our Macao, Singapor e and U.S. credit agreements contain various fiff nancial covenants.

We extend credit to those customers whose level of play and fiff nancial resources warrant, in the opinion of management, an extension of credit. These large receivabla es could have a signififf cant impact on our results of operations if deemed uncollectible. a While gaming debts are evidenced by a credit instrumrr ent, including what is commonly refeff rred to as a "marker," certain jurisdictions around the world, including jurisdictions our gaming customers may come frff om, may determine, or have determined, enforff cement of gaming debts is against public policy. Although courts of some forff eign nations will enforff ce gaming debts directly and the assets in the U.S. of forff eign debtors may be reached to satisfyff a judgment, judgments on gaming debts frff om courts in the U.S. and elsewhere are not binding in the courts of many forff eign nations. In particular, we expect our Macao operations will be abla e to enforff ce gaming debts only in a limited number of jurisdictions, including Macao. To the extent our Macao gaming customers are frff om other jurisdictions, our Macao operations may not have access to a forff umr in which it will be possible to collect all gaming receivabla es because, among other reasons, courts of many jurisdictions do not enforff ce gaming debts and our Macao operations may encounter forff umr icabla e law, our Macao operations e to enforff ce such debts.

In addition, the Chinese government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offff eff rings that are conducted overseas and/or forff eign investment in China-based issuers. a If,ff in China-based issuers, There may be risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving laws and regulations in China, including their interprr etation and implementation with respect to the enforff cement of laws, rulrr es and regulations and the possibility of changes thereto with little advance notice. in the futff urt e, there were to be any signififf cant governmental intervention or inflff uence in the futff urt e on, or in relation to our business or operations, or signififf cant control over offff eff rings of our securities or forff eign investment this could potentially signififf cantly limit or completely hinder our abia lity to offff eff r or continue to offff eff r securities to investors, cause the value of our securities to signififf cantly decline or be worthless and affff eff ct our abia lity to list securities on a U.S. or other forff eign exchange. For example, on August 20, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (“SCNPC”) promulgated the Personal Inforff mation Protection Law of the PRC (“PIPL”), which became effff eff ctive on November 1, 2021. As the fiff rst systematic and comprehensive law specififf cally forff the protection of personal inforff mation in the PRC, the PIPL provides extraterritorial effff eff ct on the personal inforff mation processing activities. Since our data processing activities outside mainland China frff om our Macao Operations relate to the offff eff ring of goods or services directed at naturt al persons in mainland China, our businesses frff om our Macao Operations operated outside mainland China are potentially subject to the requirements of PIPL. However, the implementation rulr es to the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the PIPL have not been fiff nalized yet, and it remains unclear how the Chinese government will enforff ce such law. If the extraterritorial jurisdiction under the PIPL were to be extended to us, our Macao Operations would be subject to certain data privacy obligations, which could 33 a potentially result in a material change to our operations. These data privacy obligations would primarily include bearing the responsibility forff our personal inforff mation processing activities, and adopting the necessaryrr measures to safeff guard the security of the personal inforff mation we process in compliance with the standards required under the PIPL, the faff ilure of which may result in us being ordered to correct or suspend or terminate the provision of services, confiff scation of illegal income, fiff nes or other penalties. Specififf cally, if the PIPL were to become appl icabla e to us, we the individuals concerned of the processing of their personal inforff mation in detail and would be required to (i) notifyff such processing; (ii) improve internal data governance by implementing managerial and establa ish legal bases forff technical security measures and response plans forff security incidents; (iii) designate a person in charge of personal as a “quantity processor” (to be defiff ned by the CAC); (iv) establa ish a inforff mation protection where we qualifyff handling matters special agency or designate a representative within the territoryrr of the PRC to be responsible forff relating to personal inforff mation protection; (v) establa ish and make public the procedure forff individuals to exercise their rights related to personal inforff mation; (vi) conduct an impact assessment on personal inforff mation protection beforff e any high-risk processing activities; (vii) conclude an agreement with such vendor and supervise its processing t processing of personal inforff mation to any vendor; (viii) meet one of the conditions prescribed by where we entrusr the PIPL where we transfeff r personal inforff mation outside the territoryrr of the PRC due to business or other needs. In addition, under the PIPL, where an overseas organization or individual engages in personal inforff mation processing activities that infrff inge upon the personal inforff mation rights and interests of PRC citizens or endangering the national security and public interests of the PRC, the CAC may include such organization or individual in the list of subjects to whom provision of personal inforff mation is restricted or prohibited, announce the same, and take measures such as restricting or prohibiting provision of personal inforff mation to such organization or individual. Moreover, if the recent Chinese regulatoryrr actions on data security or other data-related laws and regulations were to become icabla e to us in the futff urt e, we could become subject to certain cybersecurity and data privacy obligations, which a appl could potentially result in a material change to our operations, and the faff ilure to meet such obligations could result in penalties and other regulatoryrr actions against us and may materially and adversely affff eff ct our business and results of operations. Recent events also indicate greater oversight by the CAC over data security, particularly forff companies with Chinese operations seeking to list on a forff eign exchange. For example, the Measures forff Cybersecurity Review (“Review Measures”) issued by the CAC came into effff eff ct on Februarr ryrr 15, 2022. The Review Measures provide that, in addition to critical inforff mation infrff astrucr turt e operators (“CIIOs”) that intend to purchase network products or services, online platforff m operators engaging in data processing activities that affff eff ct or may affff eff ct national security shall also be subject to cybersecurity review. The Review Measures require that an online platforff m operator which a cybersecurity review by the CAC if possesses the personal inforff mation of at least one million users must appl it intends to be listed in forff eign countries. The Review Measures do not provide forff a defiff nition of “online platforff m operator” and, thereforff e, we cannot assure you that our Macao Operations will not be deemed as an “online platforff m operator.” However, as of the date of this report, our subsidiaries incorpor ated in mainland China do not have over one million users’ personal inforff mation and do not anticipate that they will be collecting over one million users’ personal inforff mation in the forff eseeabla e futff urt e, and on that basis we believe we are not required to appl y forff cybersecurity review by the CAC, even if we are deemed as an “online platforff m operator.” The Review Measures are not enacted in accordance with the PIPL, so our obligation to appl cybersecurity review will not change no y forff matter whether the PIPL appl ies to us or not. Further, we have not received any notice frff om any authorities identifyiff ng any of our subsidiaries as a CIIO or requiring them to undertake a cybersecurity review by the CAC. While we believe our subsidiaries are not required to appl cybersecurity review, the Review Measures provide CAC and relevant authorities certain discretion to initiate cybersecurity review where any network product or service or any data handling activity is considered to affff eff ct or may affff eff ct national security, which may lead to uncertainties in relation to the Review Measures’ impact on our operations or the offff eff ring of our securities. y forff y forff a a a a a rr a As advised by our PRC legal advisers, Haiwen & Partners, SCL is currently not required to obtain any oval frff om the CSRC, CAC or any other mainland Chinese governmental authority to operate its permission or appr ated in business or to issue securities to forff eign investors, other than those related to its two subsidiaries incorpor ovals forff mainland China that only provide back offff iff ce support.

However, in the event that we have inadvertently concluded that such permissions or appr icabla e laws, regulations or interprrr etations were to change and require SCL to obtain required or if,ff in the futff urt e, appl such permissions or appr ovals could potentially result in penalties and other regulatoryrr actions against SCL and may materially and adversely affff eff ct our business and results of operations. ovals, the faff ilure to obtain such permissions or appr a a a a a a In addition, we faff ce risks and uncertainties associated with evolving Chinese laws and regulations, such as those associated with the extent to which the level of Chinese government involvement, control of capia tal inflff ows and outflff ows, control of forff eign exchange and allocation of resources currently appl icabla e within mainland China icabla e to us. A signififf cant portion of our assets are located in Macao and a signififf cant portion of may become appl our revenue is derived frff om Macao. Accordingly, our results of operations, fiff nancial position and prospects are subject to a signififf cant degree to the economic, political and legal situat tion in Macao. From December 20, 1999, Macao became a Special Administrative Region of China when China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over two Macao. The Basic Law of Macao provides that Macao will be governed under the principle of “one country,rr systems” with its own separate government and legislaturt e and that Macao will have a high degree of legislative, judicial and economic autonomy. However, there can be no assurance that economic, political and legal developments in Macao will not adversely affff eff ct our operations, or that there will not be a change in the manner in which regulatoryrr oversight is conducted in Macao, if China were to appl y such laws and regulations of mainland China to our operations in Macao and Hong Kong. If any such change were to occur, it could potentially adversely affff eff ct our results of operations, fiff nancial position and prospects. For example, currently in mainland China, the renminbi cannot be frff eely exchanged into any forff eign currencies, and exchange and remittance of forff eign currencies are subject to Chinese forff eign exchange regulations. If,ff in the futff urt e, similar regulations were to become appl icabla e to the exchange and remittance of patacas or other currencies in Macao, there could potentially be a material adverse effff eff ct on our business, fiff nancial condition, results of operations and cash flff ows. a a Our securitii itt es may be prohibii depree inii spes ived of thtt e benefe iff tii stt of such inii spes ctitt ons or inii vestitt gat .rr itt ons of our auditii ortt tii ett d frff om beinii g trtt aded inii i ctitt ons or inii vestitt gat i thtt e U.SUU .SS securitii itt es markerr t and our inii vestortt itt ons ifi thtt e PCACC OBOO were not ablell tott srr may be conduct fuff llll The Holding Foreign Companies Accountabla e Act (the “HFCA Act”) was enacted on December 18, 2020.

The SEC also may propose additional rulr es or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. The implications of any additional regulation or guidance in addition to the requirements of the HFCA Act are uncertain, and such uncertainty could cause the market price of our securities to be materially and adversely affff eff cted. 35 Our auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP, is headquartered in the United States and was not identififf ed as a fiff rm that the PCAOB is unabla e to inspect, pursuant to the HFCA Act. However, there is no assurance that futff urt e audit reports will be prepared by auditors abla e to be inspected by the PCAOB. If the PCAOB is unabla e to conduct inspections or fulff l investigations of our auditor, our securities could be prohibited frff om being traded in the U.S. securities market, including “over-the-counter,” if,ff in the futff urt e, we were to be identififf ed as a Commission-Identififf ed Issuer forff two consecutive years. Such a prohibition could substantially impair your abia lity to sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential prohibition could have a negative impact on the price of our securities. Also, such a prohibition could signififf cantly affff eff ct our abia lity to raise capia tal on acceptabla e terms, or at all, which may have a material adverse effff eff ct on our business, fiff nancial condition and prospects. Inspections of other audit fiff rms that the PCAOB has conducted outside China have identififf ed defiff ciencies in those fiff rms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection l investigations of process to improve futff urt e audit quality. If the PCAOB were unabla e to conduct inspections or fulff our auditor, we and investors in our securities would be deprived of the benefiff ts of such PCAOB inspections. In addition, the inabia lity of the PCAOB to conduct inspections or fulff l investigations of auditors would make it more diffff iff cult to evaluate the effff eff ctiveness of our independent registered public accounting fiff rm’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause investors and potential investors to lose confiff dence in the audit procedures and reported fiff nancial inforff mation and the quality of our fiff nancial statements.

The Macao government requires we only hire Macao residents in our certain employee roles, including roles such as dealers. In addition, we are required in Macao to obtain casinos forff visas and work permits forff managers and employees we seek to employ frff om other countries. There is signififf cant competition in Macao and Singapor e forff managers and employees with the skills required to perforff m the services we offff eff r and competition forff these individuals in Macao is likely to increase as other competitors expand their operations. Such competition has intensififf ed recently as certain skilled managers have elected to returt n to their home countries due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. a We may have to recruir t managers and employees frff om other countries to adequately staffff and manage our properties and certain Macao government policies affff eff ct our abia lity to hire non-resident managers and employees in and immigration authorities to ensure our certain job classififf cations.

Like most U.S. companies, our effff eff ctive income tax rate reflff ects the faff ct that income earned and reinvested outside the U.S. is taxed at local rates, which are oftff en lower than U.S. tax rates. For example, the U.S. enacted the Inflff ation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRARR ”) in August 2022. The IRARR contains numerous provisions including a 15% corpor ate alternative minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on corpor ate stock repurchases beginning Januaryrr 1, 2023.

See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Overview We view each of our Integrated Resorts as an operating segment. Our operating segments in Macao consist of The Venetian Macao; The Londoner Macao; The Parisian Macao; The Plaza Macao and Four Seasons Macao; and the Sands Macao. Our operating segment in Singapor e is Marina Bay Sands. a On Februarr ryrr 23, 2022, we closed on the sale of our Las Vegas real property and operations, including The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center (the “Las Vegas Operations”), forff $6.25 billion (the “Las Vegas Sale”). At closing, we received appr oximately $5.05 billion in cash proceeds, beforff e transaction costs and working capia tal adjustments of $77 million, a $1.20 billion seller fiff nancing loan and recognized a gain on disposal of $3.60 billion, beforff e income tax expense of $750 million, during the year ended December 31, 2022. a During 2022, we achieved milestones in advancing several of our strategic objectives. We were awarded a new 10-year gaming concession forff the operation of casino games of chance in Macao under the Concession entered into with the Macao government. We completed our key development project in Macao with the conversion of Sands Cotai Central into The Londoner Macao, in which the Londoner Arena and the expansion of the Shoppes at Londoner were completed during the fiff rst half of 2022. We began renovations at Marina Bay Sands, to provide world-class suites in Tower 1 and Tower 2, and welcomed the returt n of Marina Bay Sands to normal operating conditions in the second half of 2022 with the removal of various COVID-19 restrictions. We also continued to strengthen our balance sheet with the completion of the sale of the Las Vegas Operations. COVID-19 Pandemic Update hile visitation to Macao remains substantially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, the Macao government's policy regarding the management of COVID-19 and general travel restrictions has adjusted in line with changes in policy in mainland China in late December 2022 and early Januaryrr 2023. Currently, visitors frff om mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan may enter Macao, subject to them holding the appr opriate travel documents, without having to present any proof of COVID-19 testing. Arrivals frff om forff eign countries must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 nucleic acid test ("NAT") or antigen test completed within 48 hours prior to arrival. Our operations in Macao will continue to be impacted and subject to changes in the government policies of Macao, mainland China, Hong Kong and other jurisdictions in Asia addressing travel and public health measures associated with COVID-19. a ry,rr Throughout the year ended December 31, 2022, various outbrt eaks occurred in the region, particularly in Hong Kong in late Januaryrr and early Februar the Guangdong province in March, Macao in mid-June and Zhuhai in early October, all of which resulted in various travel, border and/or operational restrictions. Specififf cally, on July 9, 2022, the Macao government ordered casinos and all non-essential businesses to close frff om July 11 to July 18 in an attempt to control the outbrt eak in Macao, which was extended through July 22, 2022. On July 20, 2022, the Macao government announced a consolidation period, which started on July 23, 2022 and ended on July 30, 2022, whereby certain business activities were allowed to resume limited operations; however, casino operations resumed, but with a maximum capaa city of 50% of casino staffff working at any point. Throughout August, these preventative measures were gradually reduced, as well as various restrictions on movement between Macao and Zhuhai were progressively liftff ed by both the Macao and mainland China governments. Various travel restrictions, such as border closures, mandatoryrr quarantines and proof of negative COVID-19 testing on arrival in Macao, among others, were in effff eff ct at various times during the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in flff uctuat tions in guest travel and visitation. 44 The Hong Kong / Macao Express bus service and the feff rryrr services between the Taipa Ferryrr Terminal and Hong Kong International Airpor t recommenced on December 24, 2022 and December 30, 2022, respectively. Our feff rryrr operations between Macao and Hong Kong were suspended throughout 2022 and resumed operation on a limited basis on Januaryrr 8, 2023. rr Our Macao gaming operations remained open during most of the year ended December 31, 2022. While guest visitation has begun to recover with the gradual relaxation of travel and quarantine restrictions, the timing and manner in which our casinos, restaurants and shopping malls will operate at fulff city will progressively be assessed against business volumes. l capaa At our Macao properties, all social distancing requirements, including those requiring reduced seating at tabla e games and a decreased number of active slot machines on the casino flff oor compared to pre-COVID-19 levels, have ceased in early Januaryrr 2023. As with prior periods, in support of the Macao government’s initiatives to fiff ght the COVID-19 Pandemic, at various times throughout the year ended December 31, 2022, we provided both towers of the Sheraton Grand Macao hotel and also The Parisian Macao hotel to the Macao government to house individuals forff quarantine and medical observation purpos es. r Our operations in Macao have been signififf cantly impacted by the reduced visitation to Macao. The Macao government announced total visitation frff om mainland China to Macao decreased appr oximately 27.5% and 81.7%, during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 and 2019 (pre-pandemic), respectively. The Macao government also announced gross gaming revenue decreased appr oximately 51.4% and 85.6%, during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 and 2019, respectively. a a a all travelers, including short-term visitors. Under the VTF, all fulff a e, the Vaccinated Travel Framework (“VTF”) was launched on April 1, 2022, to faff cilitate the In Singapor ly vaccinated travelers are resumption of travel forff ovals, and starting April 26, 2022, these travelers are no longer permitted to enter Singapor ly vaccinated travelers need only take a required to take a COVID-19 test beforff e departing forff pre-departurt e test within two days beforff e departurt e forff e.

The STB announced total visitation to Singapor e increased frff om appr oximately 330,000 in 2021 to 6.3 million in 2022, while visitation decreased 67.0% when compared to the same period in 2019. a a While our properties were open and some operating at reduced levels due to lower visitation and required safeff ty measures in place as described above during the year ended December 31, 2022, the current economic and regulatoryrr environment on a global basis and in each of our jurisdictions continue to evolve. We cannot predict the manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic changes over time, which could signififf cantly alter our current operations. a city frff om our LVSC Revolving Facility, 2018 SCL Revolving Facility and the 2012 Singapor We have a strong balance sheet and suffff iff cient liquidity in place, including total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $6.31 billion and access to $1.50 billion, $541 million and $439 million of availabla e borrowing capaa e Revolving Facility, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. We believe we are abla e to support continuing operations, complete the maja or construcr tion projects that are underway and respond to the current COVID-19 Pandemic challenges. We have taken various mitigating measures to manage through the current environment, including a cost and capia tal expenditurt e reduction program to minimize cash outflff ow forff nonessential items. a Macao Concession Until December 31, 2022, gaming in Macao was administered by the government through concession agreements awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which VML was one. On June 23, 2022, an extension was approved and authorized by the Macao government and executed between VML and Galaxy Casino, S.A., pursuant to which the subconcession was extended from June 26, 2022 to December 31, 45 oximately 2022 (the “Subconcession Amendment”). VML paid the Macao government $6 million at exchange rates in effff eff ct at the time of the transaction) and provided a bank guarantee on September 20, 2022, of 2.31 billion patacas (appr oximately $289 million at exchange rates as defiff ned in the bank guarantee contract) to secure the fulff fiff llment of VML's payment obligations towards its employees if VML were unsuccessful in tendering for a new concession contract after its subconcession expired. million patacas (appr a a a fiff llment of VML’s legal, contractuat On November 26, 2022, the Macao government awarded six concessions to six of the bidders on a temporaryrr fiff llment of certain conditions, namely providing a bank guarantee of 1.0 basis, of which VML was one, subject to fulff oximately $125 million at exchange rates in effff eff ct on December 31, 2022) to secure the billion patacas (appr obligations. VML complied with all l and other obligations, including labor fulff of these conditions by December 9, 2022. On December 16, 2022, the Macao government awarded six concessions on a defiff nitive basis, of which VML was one, and VML entered into the Concession with the Macao government, effff eff ctive as of Januaryrr 1, 2023, and forff the duration of ten years. On December 19, 2022, VML requested the release of all the bank guarantees it provided to the Macao government under its subconcession, and in Januaryrr 2023 such bank guarantees were released, including the 2.31 billion patacas bank guarantee. a On December 30, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of the Gaming Law and their obligations under letters of undertakings (the "Undertakings"), each of VML, Venetian Cotai Limited ("VCL"), Venetian Orient Limited ("VOL") and Cotai Strip Lot 2 Apart Hotel (Macau) Limited (“CSL2,” a subsidiary of SCL) entered into deeds of reversion, pursuant to which each of VML, VCL, VOL and CSL2 confiff rmed and agreed to revert to the Macao government relevant gaming equipment and gaming areas (as identififf ed in the Undertakings) without compensation and frff ee of any liens or charges upon the expiryrr of the term of the subconcession extension period. On the same day, VML entered into a handover record (the "Handover Record"), pursuant to which the right to operate the same gaming equipment and gaming areas was granted to VML forff the duration of the Concession, in returt n forff the fiff rst three years and 2,500 patacas per square meter forff oximately $93 and $311, respectively, at exchange rates in effff eff ct on December 31, 2022).

In the fiff rst two years frff om July 11, 2022, SCL will have the option to elect to pay cash interest at 5% per annum or payment-in-kind interest at 6% per annum by adding the amount of such interest to the then-outstanding principal amount of the loan, folff lowing which only cash interest at 5% per annum will be payabla e. This loan is unsecured, subordinated to all third party unsecured indebtedness and other obligations of SCL and its subsidiaries and is eliminated in consolidation. Key Operating Revenue Measurements Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Plaza Macao and ryrr 23, hotel Four Seasons Macao, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties, prior to its sale on Februar 2022, are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affff eff cts the price charged forff 46 rooms and our gaming volume. Operating revenues at Sands Macao are principally driven by casino customers who visit the property on a daily basis. Management utilizes the folff lowing volume and pricing measures in order to evaluate past perforff mance and assist in forff ecasting futff urt e revenues. The various volume measurements indicate our abia lity to attract customers to In casino operations, win and hold percentages indicate the amount of revenue to be our Integrated Resorts.

The volume measurement forff Rolling Chip play is non-negotiabla e gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement forff Non-Rolling Chip play is tabla e games drop ("drop"), which is net markers issued (credit instrumr ents), cash deposited in the tabla e drop boxes and gaming chips purchased and exchanged at the cage. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparabla e as they are two distinct measures of volume. The amounts wagered and lost forff Rolling Chip play are substantially higher than the amounts dropped forff Non- Rolling Chip play. Slot handle, also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered forff the period cited. a We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold (amount won by the casino) as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Our win and hold percentages are calculated beforff e discounts, commissions, defeff rring revenue associated with our loyalty programs and allocating casino revenues related to goods and services provided to patrons on a complimentaryrr basis. Our Rolling Chip win percentage is expected to be 3.15% to 3.45% in Macao frff om our expected win percentage and historical win and hold and Singapor percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapor e, 9.8% and 15.8%, respectively, of our tabla e games play was conducted on a credit basis forff the year ended December 31, 2022. l win percentage may varyrr e.

Availabla e rooms exclude those rooms occupancy during the period due to renovation, development or other requirements (such as unavailabla e forff government mandated closure, lodging forff e governments forff quarantine measures). The calculations of the occupancy rate and ADR include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentaryrr basis. Revenue per availabla e room ("RevPAR") represents a summaryrr of hotel ADR and occupancy. Because not all availabla e rooms are occupied, ADR is normally higher than RevPAR.

The decrease was partially offff sff et by an increase of $1.15 billion at Marina Bay Sands, primarily due to increased visitation frff om the reopening of borders and elimination of most pandemic-related restrictions in April 2022. Net casino revenues decreased $265 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was driven by a $1.04 billion decrease at our Macao operations due to lower visitation across our properties resulting in decreased tabla e games and slot volumes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of our consolidated fiff nancial statements in conforff mity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affff eff ct the reported amounts of assets and liabia lities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabia lities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical inforff mation, inforff mation currently availabla e to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonabla e under the circumstances. Actuat l results could varyrr frff om those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in futff urt e evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effff eff ct on our results of operations and fiff nancial condition. We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affff eff ct our more signififf cant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated fiff nancial statements. 66 PrPP ovisii ion forff ExpeEE ctett d CrCC editii Losses We maintain a provision forff a expected credit losses on casino, hotel and mall receivabla es and regularly evaluate the balances.

The reserve percentages are based on estimated loss rates supported by forff ward-looking historical observed defaff ult rates over the expected lifeff of the receivabla e and are adjusted forff inforff mation. We also specififf cally analyze the collectabia lity of each account with a balance over a specififf ed dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customer's fiff nancial condition, collection historyrr and any other known inforff mation and adjust the aforff ementioned reserve with the results frff om the individual reserve analysis. We also monitor regional and global economic conditions and forff ecasts, which include the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in our evaluation of the adequacy of the recorded reserves. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there continued to be a delay in payments on casino receivabla es due to the inabia lity of patrons to travel to our properties or to accomplish fiff nancial transactions due to the travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. The collection of casino receivabla es has also been impacted by liquidity issues faff ced by certain patrons also stemming frff om the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have increased the provision forff the expected credit losses due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We continue to closely monitor any delays in payments due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and will increase the provision accordingly depending on the faff cts and circumstances. Although we believe the provision on our casino receivabla es is adequate as of December 31, 2022, it is possible our provisions could increase if we experience furff ther delays on payments frff om patrons. credit losses where appr opriate to account forff a Account balances are written offff against the provision when we believe it is probabla e the receivabla e will not be recovered.

If an indicator of impairment exists, we fiff rst group our assets with other assets and liabia lities at the lowest level forff which identififf abla e cash flff ows are largely independent of the cash flff ows of other assets and liabia lities (the "asset group"). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted futff urt e cash flff ows directly associated with and expected to arise frff om the completion, use and eventuat l disposition of such asset group. We estimate the undiscounted cash flff ows over the remaining usefulff lifeff of the primaryrr asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flff ows exceed the carryirr ng value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flff ows do not exceed the carryirr ng value, then an impairment is measured based on faff ir value compared to carryirr ng value, with faff ir value typically based on a discounted cash flff ow model. If an asset is still under development, futff urt e cash flff ows include remaining construcr tion costs. 67 To estimate the undiscounted cash flff ows of our asset groups, we consider all potential cash flff ows scenarios, which are probabia lity weighted based on management's estimates given current conditions. Determining the recoverabia lity of our asset groups is judgmental in naturt e and requires the use of signififf cant estimates and assumptions, including estimated cash flff ows, probabia lity weighting of potential scenarios, costs to complete construcr assets under development, growth rates and futff urt e market conditions, among others. Futurt e changes to our estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic faff ctors, regulatoryrr environments, operating results or management's intentions may result in futff urt e changes to the recoverabia lity of our asset groups. tion forff For assets to be held forff sale, the fiff xed assets (the "disposal group") are measured at the lower of their carryirr ng any initial or subsequent write-down to faff ir value amount or faff ir value less costs to sell. Losses are recognized forff less costs to sell, while gains are recognized forff any subsequent increase in faff ir value less costs to sell, but not in excess of the cumulative loss previously recognized. Any gains or losses not previously recognized that result frff om the sale of the disposal group shall be recognized at the date of sale.

Accordingly, the need to establa ish valuation allowances forff defeff rred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a "more-likely-than-not" realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the naturt e, frff equency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forff ecasts of futff urt e profiff tabia lity, the duration of statutt oryrr carryfrr orff ward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryfrr orff wards not expiring and tax planning strategies. We recorded a valuation allowance on the net defeff rred tax assets of certain forff eign jurisdictions of $475 million and $416 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and a valuation allowance on certain net defeff rred tax assets of our U.S. operations of $3.61 billion and $4.62 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management will reassess the realization of defeff rred tax assets each reporting period and consider the scheduled reversal of defeff rred tax liabia lities, sources of taxabla e income and tax planning strategies. To the extent the fiff nancial results of these operations improve and it becomes "more-likely-than-not" the defeff rred tax assets are realizabla e, we will be abla e to reduce the valuation allowance in the period such determination is made, as a appr opriate. 68 Signififf cant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision forff income taxes. During the ordinaryrr course of business, there are many transactions forff which the ultimate tax determination oach to is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step appr recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The fiff rst step is to evaluate the tax position forff recognition by determining if the weight of availabla e evidence indicates it is "more-likely-than-not" the position will be sustained als or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax on audit, including resolution of related appe benefiff t as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. We recorded unrecognized tax benefiff ts of $136 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note 2 — Summary of Signififf cant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated fiff nancial statements include the accounts of the Company and its maja ority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated fiff nancial statements in conforff mity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affff eff ct the reported amounts of assets and liabia lities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabia lities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical inforff mation, inforff mation currently availabla e to the Company and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonabla e under the circumstances. Actuat l results could varyrr frff om those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturt ities of less than 90 days. Such investments are carried at cost, which is a reasonabla e estimate of their faff ir value. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality fiff nancial institutt . Cash is considered restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. The Company determines current or noncurrent classififf cation based on the expected duration of the restriction. The Company’s restricted cash and cash equivalents includes amounts held in a separate cash deposit account as collateral forff a bank guarantee and other amounts contractuat various items. The estimated faff ir value of the Company's cash equivalents is based on level 1 inputs (quoted market prices in active markets). ions and are primarily in money market funds lly reserved forff ff Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk Accounts receivabla e is comprised of casino, hotel, mall and other receivabla es, which do not bear interest and lowing background are recorded at amortized cost. The Company extends credit to appr checks and investigations of creditworthiness. The Company also extends credit to gaming promoters in Macao. These receivabla es can be offff sff et against commissions payabla e to the respective gaming promoters. Business or economic conditions, the legal enforff ceabia lity of gaming debts, forff eign currency control measures or other signififf cant events in forff eign countries could affff eff ct the collectabia lity of receivabla es frff om patrons and gaming promoters residing in these countries. oved casino patrons folff a Accounts receivabla e primarily consists of casino receivabla es. Other than casino receivabla es, there is no other concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivabla e. The Company believes the concentration of its credit risk in casino receivabla es is mitigated substantially by its credit evaluation process, credit policies, credit control and collection procedures, and also believes there are no concentrations of credit risk forff which a provision has not been establa ished. Although management believes the provision is adequate, it is possible the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivabla e could change. Loan Receivable Loan receivabla es are carried at the outstanding principal amount. A provision forff credit loss on loan receivabla es is establa ished when, based on current inforff mation and events, it is probabla e that the Company will be l terms of the loan agreement. The Company determines unabla e to collect all amounts due according to the contractuat this by considering several faff ctors, including the credit risk and current fiff nancial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s abia lity to pay current obligations, historical trends, and economic and market conditions.

The Company evaluates the extent and impact of any credit deterioration that could affff eff ct the perforff mance and the value of the secured property, as well as the fiff nancial and operating capaa bia lity of the borrower. The Company also evaluates and considers the overall economic environment, casino and hospitality industryrr c sub- market in which the secured property is located. and geographi a Interest income is recorded on an accruar l basis at the stated interest rate and is recorded in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Inventories Inventories consist primarily of food, beverage, retail products and operating supplies, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizabla e value. Cost is determined by the weighted average and specififf c identififf cation methods. ff Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated usefulff lives of the assets, which do not exceed the lease term forff leasehold improvements, as folff lows: Land improvements, building and building improvements............................................................... 10 to 50 years 3 to 20 years Furniturt e, fiff xturt es and equipment ..................................................................................................... 3 to 15 years Leasehold improvements................................................................................................................... 5 to 20 years Transportation.................................................................................................................................... lives are based on the naturt e of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal The estimated usefulff considerations, such as contractuat l lifeff , and are periodically reviewed. Futurt e events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated usefulff lives of such assets. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the asset nor appr eciabla y prolong its lifeff are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are included in the consolidated statements of operations. a The Company evaluates its property and equipment and other long-lived assets forff impairment in accordance with related accounting standards. For assets to be disposed of,ff the Company recognizes the asset to be sold at the lower of carryirr ng value or faff ir value less costs of disposal. Fair value forff assets to be disposed of is estimated based on comparabla e asset sales, solicited offff eff rs or a discounted cash flff ow model. Fixed assets are reviewed forff impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. Determining the recoverabia lity of the Company's asset groups is judgmental in naturt e and requires the use of signififf cant estimates and assumptions, including estimated cash flff ows, probabia lity weighting of potential scenarios, costs to complete assets under development, growth rates and futff urt e market conditions, among others. Futurt e construcr changes to the Company's estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic faff ctors, regulatoryrr environments, operating results or management's intentions may result in futff urt e changes to the recoverabia lity of these asset groups. tion forff Leases Management determines if a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception or modififf cation of a contract. A a period contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identififf ed asset forff in exchange forff consideration. Control over the use of the identififf ed asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefiff ts frff om the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Finance and operating lease right-of-ff use ("ROU") assets and liabia lities are recognized based on the present value of futff urt e minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinabla e in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the inforff mation availabla e at commencement date in determining the present value of futff urt e payments. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonabla y certain the Company will 87 LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) exercise such option. Lease expense forff minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The Company’s lease arrangements have lease and non-lease components. For leases in which the Company is the lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate). Leases in which the Company is the lessor are as operating leases and the lease components and non-lease components are on the balance the lessee, the Company accounts forff forff substantially all accounted forff accounted forff separately.

Capitalized Interest and Internal Costs Interest costs associated with maja or construcr tion projects are capia talized and included in the cost of the projects. When no debt is incurred specififf cally forff tion projects, interest is capia talized on amounts expended using the weighted average cost of the Company's outstanding borrowings. Capia talization of interest ceases when the project is substantially complete or construcr tion activity is suspended forff more than a brief period. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company capia talized $4 million, $15 million and $21 million, respectively, of interest expense. construcr During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, oximately $42 million, $49 million and $37 million, respectively, of internal costs, consisting primarily of compensation expense forff individuals directly involved with the development and construcrr the Company capia talized appr tion of property. a Defeff rred Financing Costs and Original Issue Discounts Certain direct and incremental costs and discounts incurred in obtaining loans are capia talized and amortized to interest expense based on the terms of the related debt instrumr ents using the effff eff ctive interest method. Leasehold Interests in Land Leasehold interests in land represent payments forff the use of land over an extended period of time. The leasehold interests in land are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the related lease agreements. Revenue Recognition Revenue frff om contracts with customers primarily consists of casino wagers, room sales, food transactions, rental income frff om the Company’s mall tenants, convention sales and entertainment and feff rryrr sales. These contracts can be written, oral or implied by customaryrr business practices. and beverage ticket ff Gross casino revenue is the aggregate of gaming wins and losses. The commissions rebated to gaming promoters and premium players forff rolling play, cash discounts and other cash incentives to patrons related to gaming play are recorded as a reduction to gross casino revenue. Gaming contracts include a perforff mance obligation to honor the patron’s wager and typically include a perforff mance obligation to provide a product or service to the patron on a complimentaryrr basis to incentivize gaming or in exchange forff points earned under the Company’s loyalty programs. For wagering contracts that include complimentaryrr products and services provided by the Company to incentivize gaming, the Company allocates the relative stand-alone selling price of each product and service to the respective revenue type. Complimentaryrr products or services provided under the Company's control and discretion, which are supplied by third parties, are recorded as an operating expense. For wagering contracts that include products and services provided to a patron in exchange forff points earned under the Company’s loyalty programs, the Company allocates the estimated faff ir value of the points earned to the loyalty program liabia lity. The loyalty program liabia lity is a defeff rral of revenue until redemption occurs. Upon redemption of loyalty program points forff Company-owned products and services, the stand-alone selling price of each product or service is allocated to the respective revenue type. For redemptions of points with third parties, the redemption amount is deducted frff om the loyalty program liabia lity and paid directly to the third party.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) Stock-Based Employee Compensation Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated faff ir value of the award, and is recognized over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company's stock-based employee compensation plans are more fulff ly discussed in "Note 18 — Stock-Based Employee Compensation." Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including feff deral and state) and numerous forff eign jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company records income taxes under the asset and liabia lity method, whereby defeff rred tax assets and liabia lities are recognized based on the futff urt e tax consequences attributabla e to temporaryrr diffff eff rences between the fiff nancial statement carryirr ng amounts of existing assets and liabia lities and their respective tax bases, and attributabla e to operating loss and tax credit carryfrr orff wards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carryirr ng amounts of defeff rred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the availabla e evidence, it is "more-likely-than-not" such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establa ish valuation allowances forff defeff rred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a "more-likely-than-not" realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the naturt e, frff equency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forff ecasts of futff urt e profiff tabia lity, the duration of statutt oryrr carryfrr orff ward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carryfrr orff wards not expiring and tax planning strategies. Management will reassess the realization of defeff rred tax assets each reporting period and consider the scheduled reversal of defeff rred tax liabia lities, sources of taxabla e income and tax planning strategies. To the extent the fiff nancial results of these operations improve and it becomes "more-likely-than-not" the defeff rred tax assets are realizabla e, the Company will be abla e to reduce the valuation allowance in the period such determination is made as a appr opriate. Signififf cant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision forff income taxes. During the ordinaryrr course of business, there are many transactions forff which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company considers many faff ctors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefiff ts, which may require periodic adjustments and forff which actuat l outcomes may be diffff eff rent. Fair Value Measurements a Under appl icabla e accounting guidance, faff ir value is defiff ned as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfeff r a liabia lity in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the inputs in measuring measurement date. Applicabla e accounting guidance also establa ishes a valuation hierarchy forff faff ir value that maximizes the use of observabla e inputs (inputs market participants would use based on market data obtained frff om sources independent of the Company) and minimizes the use of unobservabla e inputs (inputs that reflff ect the Company's assumptions based upon the best inforff mation availabla e in the circumstances) by requiring the most observabla e inputs be used when availabla e. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets forff identical assets or liabia lities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices forff similar assets or liabia lities in active markets, identical or similar assets or liabia lities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted quoted prices forff prices) that are observabla e forff the assets or liabia lities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservabla e the assets or liabia lities. Categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is inputs forff signififf cant to the faff ir value measurement. Accounting forff Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Accounting standards require an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabia lities in the balance ents at faff ir value. If specififf c conditions are met, a derivative may be designated as a sheet and measure those instrumr hedge of specififf c fiff nancial exposures. The accounting forff changes in faff ir value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and, if used in hedging activities, on its effff eff ctiveness as a hedge. In order to qualifyff hedge accounting, the underlying hedged item must expose the Company to risks associated with market forff flff uctuat ent used must be designated as a hedge and must reduce the Company's exposure to market flff uctuat tion throughout the hedge period. tions and the fiff nancial instrumr 91 LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.

The Company's Chief Executive Offff iff cer and its Chief Financial Offff iff cer have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defiff ned in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 RulRR es 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and have concluded they are effff eff ctive at the reasonabla e assurance level. opriate, to allow forff a It should be noted any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonabla e, In addition, the design of any control system is and not absa olute, assurance the objectives of the system are met. based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of futff urt e events.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over fiff nancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effff eff ctiveness to futff urt e periods are subject to the risk controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company's management assessed the effff eff ctiveness of the Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the frff amework set forff th by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in "Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)." 132 Based on this assessment, management concluded, as of December 31, 2022, the Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting is effff eff ctive based on this frff amework.
