Recent Events

Las Vegas’ Earnings Move Up, Rev in Line - May 1, 2013

Las Vegas Sands reported first-quarter 2013 adjusted earnings of $0.71 per share, outperforming the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.66 by 7.6% and the comparable year-ago quarter’s earnings by 1.4%. The upside in earnings was caused by the company’s strong top-line growth and operational efficiency.

Quarterly net revenue climbed 19.5% year over year to $3.3 billion, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The rise in quarterly revenues was aided by the company’s strong Macau business and growing Las Vegas business.

The operating margin has declined nearly 58 basis points (bps) to 25.0% in the first quarter. The drop was mainly attributable to higher depreciation and amortization as well as development expenses.

Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) surged 9.4% year over year to $1.2 billion.

Zacks Investment Research Page 4 www.zackspro.com Revenues

The company’s net revenues increased 19.5% y/y to $3.3 billion in 1Q13 (in line with the Zacks Digest average). The rise in quarterly revenues was aided by the company’s strong Macau business and improving Las Vegas business.

Property-wise Revenue Details

U.S. Business

Las Vegas Operations (The Venetian Casino And Palazzo)

Net revenue from the Las Vegas operations increased 7.0% y/y to $411.5 million (in line with the Zacks Digest average). The segment’s sales get a boost from the 360 bps improvement in the table games win percentage to 27.6%. A 6.8% rise in rooms revenues and 12.0% and 14.2% increase in the food and beverage sales and convention, retail and other revenues, respectively also helped augmenting the revenue during the quarter. During the quarter, the segment’s revenue per available room (RevPAR) was also up 7.3% y/y to $191 million, driven by higher visitation.

Sands Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Sands Bethlehem in Bethlehem, Pa. opened the first phase of its facilities for business on May 22, 2009. Net revenue at Sands Bethlehem was $122.9 million in first quarter, up 6.3% y/y (in line with the Zacks Digest average), powered by a 26.3% and 28.6% rise in rooms revenues and RevPAR, respectively. A significant rise in the hotel occupancy rate seems to be the reason for such higher RevPAR in 1Q13.

Asia Business

Macao (Sands Macao, Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Plaza Casino and Sands Cotai Central)

Las Vegas Sands’ integrated resort properties and other assets in Macao are owned and operated by Sands China Ltd., a majority-owned subsidiary of the company.

In 1Q13, Sands China’s net revenue jumped 39.3% y/y to $2.02 billion. The company witnessed a record growth in its Macao properties on the back of increased gaming as well as rolling volume and higher non- gaming (hotel, retail and convention) revenues. Macao’s mass market table segment was also very strong during the quarter. During 1Q13, the company had 14 million visitors in its Macao properties.

With the rise in the rolling budget, the company witnessed a 17.4% increase in the VIP market share of rolling volume in 1Q13. Mass table win in Macao also increased 63.2% y/y to over $863 million.

Zacks Investment Research Page 5 www.zackspro.com Sands Macao

Sands Macao’s revenues were down 11.1% y/y to $310.3 million (in line with the Zacks Digest average) due to an 11.3% fall in casino revenues and a 1.3% drop in RevPAR growth. Rolling chip (VIP) volume also fell 0.8% y/y to $6.4 billion due to a drop in the rolling chip tables. Moreover, slot hold percentage was also down 70 bps to 3.7%.

The Venetian Macao

The Venetian Macao’s net revenue increased 12.9% y/y to $872.2 million (in line with the Zacks Digest average), driven by a rise in traffic and increased casino as well as mall revenues. However, hotel occupancy plunged 180 bps to 91.6% and RevPAR fell 7.0% to $212 million at Venetian Macao.

Non-Rolling Chip drop was up 20.6% y/y to $1.33 billion with the rise in the number of non-VIP players. The company was undergoing a restoration at its Paiza Club in 1Q13 which led to a decline in the number of active rolling tables. Following such lower number of rolling tables the company’s rolling chip volume was also down 15.4% y/y to $11.67 billion.

Four Seasons Hotel Macao and Plaza Casino

Moreover, revenues at Four Seasons Hotel Macao and Plaza Casino dropped 25.5% y/y to $223.2 million (in line with the Zacks Digest average) which resulted from a 27% decline in casino revenues and a 25.4% fall in rolling chip volume. A drop in the number of VIP and premium players has been held responsible for lower rolling chip volume in 1Q13. Slot handle also decreased 7.0% to $184.4 million in 1Q13.

Sands Cotai Central

Net revenue at Sands Cotai Central was $687.2 million (in line with the Zacks Digest average), gaining from the growing mass table and slot businesses. Rolling chip volume was $13.6 billion, driven by the rise in the number of VIP players. In 1Q13, rolling chip win percentage was 3.09% versus 3.13% in 4Q12. Hotel occupancy rate is also increasing significantly. Currently, occupancy is 70.8% with RevPAR of $108 million.

Upcoming Projects in Macao

Sands Cotai Central (previously known as Parcels 5 and 6) represent the next phase in Macao growth strategy: Upon completion of Phase IIB, the integrated resort will feature approximately 300,000 square feet of gaming space, around 1.2 million square feet of retail, entertainment, dining and exhibition and conference facilities and a multipurpose theater. In Phase III of the project, Las Vegas Sands expects to include a fourth hotel and mixed-use tower under the Starwood’s St. Regis brand.

On completion, the phases will comprise an integrated resort located across the street from the Venetian Macao and Plaza. The properties will be connected via elevated and covered pedestrian bridges. The bridge opened in Dec 2012 will benefit all the properties and strengthen the retail mall business of Las Vegas Sands.

After the completion of Cotai Central, the company’s three Cotai Strip properties - The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Hotel Macao and Plaza Casino and Cotai Central, will include 25 million square feet of interconnected integrated resort capacity. This will comprise five hotel brands and more than 9,000 rooms and suites, 1,300 gaming tables, 6,000 slot machines and electronic table games, around two million square feet of retail space, plus dining, convention, meeting and exhibition capacity and entertainment attractions.

Zacks Investment Research Page 6 www.zackspro.com Cotai Central, when complete, will represent a significant expansion of the Las Vegas Sands’ Cotai presence and will expectedly provide more of a draw for the destination visitor. The entire site is now expected to open fully by the end of 2013.

The Parisian Macao: Management expects to add its fourth integrated resort property - The Parisian Macao — to Cotai Strip portfolio. The development of the property is underway and the company has also submitted the design plans for a shopping mall in the east side of the Cotai Strip to Macao Government and the approval is pending. The property, which is expected to be open in 2015, will have 500 tables.

Other Project In Macao

Site 3 : Management has submitted plans for a 3,600-room development at Site 3 to authorities in Macao, which would primarily be a mass market property with a separate tower for VIP players. Las Vegas Sands already owns the rights to Site 3 and it has been approved for gaming. However, the company could lose its right to the parcel if the authorities were to refuse extension of the concession. The company has received another 3-year extension to complete Site 3. The company has submitted the Site 3 design plans to the Macao government and the approval is pending.

The company is also improving premium mass and non-gaming amenity at the Venetian to drive visitation. Moreover, Las Vegas Sands expects that the Macao market will continue to grow as more infrastructure (bridges, trains and ferries) is built over the next three to five years.

Most of the bullish firms are of the view that with the rise in the visitation, the company will continue to witness a strong growth in its Macao business in the upcoming quarters. These firms are also hopeful about the gradual ramping up of the company’s Cotai Strip business. However, some of the bearish firms believe that leisure travel in Las Vegas is still showing weak trends and is generally price sensitive.

Other Asia

Revenues were negative $33.9 million, down 4.8% y/y in 1Q13 (in line with the Zacks Digest average).

Management is exploring new development opportunities in Asia, especially in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. In Japan, the company expects to develop properties in Osaka and Tokyo. In this regard, the company has submitted designs to government in Apr 2013. In Korea, the company is keen on developing properties in Busan and Seoul and will negotiate tax rate to avail smooth Korean operation in future. In Vietnam, Las Vegas is negotiating with the government for development in Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi and expects to explore other areas in future.

Retail Mall Business on Macao's Cotai Strip (The Venetian Macao, The Four Seasons Macao, Sands Cotai Central and Marina Bay Sands)

In 1Q13, the retail mall business reported an increase in gross revenue of 19.4% y/y to $84.9 million. The company noted that the retail assets have high capitalization rate, especially in Asia. Accordingly, the company has approached the Government of Macao with the proposal of remodeling of Tropical Garden into Tropical Garden Mall and the approval is awaiting. The mall, which is designed to target the mass market, will boast 900,000 square feet of shopping stores and dining places.

Zacks Investment Research Page 7 www.zackspro.com Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

Las Vegas Sands opened the final portions of its resort in Singapore, including a lights show, the art museum, and the Lion King production, in 1Q11 after launching its first and second phase on Apr 27, 2010 and Jun 23, 2010 respectively. This property has driven tourism in Singapore and has enhanced Singapore's reputation as an international business and leisure destination. The company is, therefore, seeking more land from the Singapore government to build additional 1,000 to 1,500 rooms.

Revenues at Marina Bay Sands dropped 6.3% y/y to $794.9 million in 1Q13 (in line with the Zacks Digest average) with the decline in rolling chip win percentage and lower casino revenues. However, the rate of revenue decline is lower than that in the prior quarter. The company’s mass revenue as well as non- gaming revenue are growing and VIP business is showing signs of improvement following its new marketing programs. The company enjoyed RevPAR growth of 11% in Marina Bay Sands, driven by a higher average daily rate (ADR).

Management is optimistic about the improvement in Singapore business, with the increase in popularity of Singapore as a tourist destination and maturation of the company’s marketing initiatives in Asia.

Some firms are of the view that the company’s recovering VIP business in Singapore will act as a growth driver, going ahead.
