(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“Red Rock,” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates seven major gaming facilities and ten smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. In December 2023, the Company opened Durango Casino & Resort (“Durango”).
The Company owns all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and has an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through its ownership of limited liability interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At March 31, 2024, the Company held 58% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and is designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. The Company controls and operates all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conducts all of its operations through these entities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
Station Holdco and Station LLC are variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and Station Holdco, and presents the interests in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in all 50% or less owned affiliated companies are accounted for using the equity method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The ASU is intended to improve disclosures of significant segment expenses by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), requiring disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment, extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods, permit more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions and requiring disclosure of the CODM’s title and position and how the CODM uses reported measure(s) in assessing segment performance. The amendments are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU is intended to provide more transparency of income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures, primarily rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not anticipate that this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.
2. Noncontrolling Interest in Station Holdco
As discussed in Note 1, Red Rock holds a controlling interest in and consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its subsidiaries and Station Holdco. The interests in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock are presented within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Entities controlled by Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, the Company’s Vice Chairman of the Board and a vice president of the Company (the “Fertitta Family Entities”), hold 99% of the noncontrolling interest.
The ownership of the LLC Units is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| Units | | Ownership % | | Units | | Ownership % |
Red Rock | 63,824,290 | | | 58.1 | % | | 63,027,745 | | | 57.8 | % |
Noncontrolling interest holders | 45,985,804 | | | 41.9 | % | | 45,985,804 | | | 42.2 | % |
Total | 109,810,094 | | | 100.0 | % | | 109,013,549 | | | 100.0 | % |
| | | | | | | |
The Company uses monthly weighted-average LLC Unit ownership to calculate the pretax income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of Station Holdco attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders. Station Holdco equity attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders is rebalanced, as needed, to reflect LLC Unit ownership at period end.
3. Native American Development
The Company, the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (the “Mono”), a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California and the North Fork Rancheria Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) have entered into a Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) and a Third Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”), each dated as of November 7, 2023. Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company has assisted and will assist the Mono and the Authority in developing a gaming and entertainment facility (the “North Fork Project”) to be located in Madera County, California. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company will assist the Mono and the Authority in operating the North Fork Project. The Company purchased a 305-acre parcel of land adjacent to Highway 99 north of the city of Madera (the “North Fork Site”), which was taken into trust for the benefit of the Mono by the Department of the Interior (“DOI”) in February 2013.
As currently contemplated, the North Fork Project is expected to include approximately 2,000 Class III slot machines and additional Class II slot machines, approximately 40 table games and several restaurants. Future development costs of the project are expected to be between $375 million and $425 million. The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at March 31, 2024 of each of the critical milestones that it has identified as necessary to complete the North Fork Project. As of January 5, 2024, the date the Mono received the approval of the Management Agreement from the Chair of the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”), each of these critical milestones has substantially been resolved.

The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at March 31, 2024 of each of the critical milestones necessary to complete the North Fork Project.
| | | | | |
Federally recognized as an Indian tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) | Yes |
Date of recognition | Federal recognition was terminated in 1966 and restored in 1983. |
Tribe has possession of or access to usable land upon which the project is to be built | The DOI accepted approximately 305 acres of land for the project into trust for the benefit of the Mono in February 2013.
|
Status of obtaining regulatory and governmental approvals: | |
Tribal-state compact | A compact was negotiated and signed by the Governor of California and the Mono in August 2012. The California State Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 277 (“AB 277”) which ratified the Compact in May 2013 and June 2013, respectively. Opponents of the North Fork Project qualified a referendum, “Proposition 48,” for a state-wide ballot challenging the legislature’s ratification of the Compact. In November 2014, Proposition 48 failed. The State took the position that the failure of Proposition 48 nullified the ratification of the Compact and, therefore, the Compact did not take effect under California law. In March 2015, the Mono filed suit against the State to obtain a compact with the State or procedures from the Secretary of the Interior under which Class III gaming may be conducted on the North Fork Site. In July 2016, the DOI issued Secretarial procedures (the “Secretarial Procedures”) pursuant to which the Mono may conduct Class III gaming on the North Fork Site. |
Approval of gaming compact by DOI | The Compact was submitted to the DOI in July 2013. In October 2013, notice of the Compact taking effect was published in the Federal Register. The Secretarial Procedures supersede and replace the Compact. |
Record of decision regarding environmental impact published by BIA | In November 2012, the record of decision for the Environmental Impact Statement for the North Fork Project was issued by the BIA. In December 2012, the Notice of Intent to take land into trust was published in the Federal Register. |
BIA accepting usable land into trust on behalf of the tribe | The North Fork Site was accepted into trust in February 2013. |
Approval of management agreement by NIGC | In December 2015, the Mono submitted a Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, and certain related documents, to the NIGC. In July 2016, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. In March 2018, the Mono submitted the Management Agreement and certain related documents to the NIGC. In June 2018, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Management Agreement. In April 2021, the Mono received an issues letter from the NIGC identifying issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. In September 2022, the Mono received an additional issues letter from the NIGC identifying remaining issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. Following dialogue with the NIGC, the Mono submitted executed North Fork Project agreements to the NIGC in November, 2023. On January 5, 2024, the Chairman of the NIGC approved the Management Agreement. |
Gaming licenses: | |
Type | The North Fork Project will include the operation of Class II and Class III gaming, which are allowed pursuant to the terms of the Secretarial Procedures and IGRA, following approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC. |
Number of gaming devices allowed | The Secretarial Procedures allow for the operation of a maximum of 2,000 Class III slot machines at the facility during the first two years of operation and thereafter up to 2,500 Class III slot machines. There is no limit on the number of Class II gaming devices that the Mono can offer. |
Agreements with local authorities | The Mono has entered into memoranda of understanding with the City of Madera, the County of Madera and the Madera Irrigation District under which the Mono agreed to pay one-time and recurring mitigation contributions, subject to certain contingencies. The memoranda of understanding have all been amended to restructure the timing of certain payments due to delays in the development of the North Fork Project. |

In addition to the critical milestones, there is a remaining unresolved legal matter related to the North Fork Project.
In March 2016, Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians (“Picayune”) filed a complaint for declaratory relief and petition for writ of mandate in California Superior Court for the County of Madera against Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., alleging that the referendum that invalidated the Compact also invalidated Governor Brown’s concurrence with the Secretary of the Interior’s determination that gaming on the North Fork Site would be in the best interest of the Mono and not detrimental to the surrounding community. The complaint seeks to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence and was stayed from December 2016 to September 2021, when the Supreme Court of California denied the Mono’s and the State of California’s petition for review in Stand Up for California! v. Brown. As a result of the denial, litigation of this matter has resumed and a first amended complaint was filed by Picayune in December 2022. Each of the State of California and the Mono filed demurrers challenging the first amended complaint; in July 2023, the State of California’s demurrer was granted and the Mono’s demurrer was denied. The Mono has answered the first amended complaint and each of the Mono and Picayune have filed motions for summary judgment, which motions are fully briefed.
Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the Company has agreed to arrange the financing for the ongoing development costs and construction of the facility, and has contributed significant financial support to the North Fork Project. Through March 31, 2024, the Company has paid approximately $62.5 million of reimbursable advances to the Mono, primarily to complete the environmental impact study, purchase the North Fork Site and pay the costs of litigation. The repayment of the advances is expected to come from the proceeds of the North Fork Project’s financing, from cash flows from the North Fork Project’s operations, or from a combination of both. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, accrued interest on the advances will not be recognized in income until the carrying amount of the advances has been recovered. The carrying amount of the reimbursable advances was reduced by $15.1 million to fair value upon the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting in 2011. At March 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the advances was $47.4 million.
In addition to the reimbursable advances, the Company expects to receive a development fee of 4% of the costs of construction for its development services, which will be paid upon the commencement of gaming operations at the facility. The Management Agreement provides for the Company to receive a management fee of 30% of the North Fork Project’s net income. The repayment of all or a portion of the reimbursable advances is anticipated to be subordinated to the Mono’s debt service obligations under the North Fork Project’s financing. The Management Agreement has a term of seven years from the opening of the North Fork Project. The Management Agreement includes termination provisions whereby either party may terminate the agreement for cause, and may also be terminated at any time upon agreement of the parties. There is no provision in the Management Agreement allowing the tribe to buy-out the agreement prior to its expiration. The Management Agreement provides that the Company will train the Mono tribal members such that they may assume responsibility for managing the North Fork Project upon the expiration of the agreement.
The Company expects that, upon termination or expiration of the Development Agreement, the Mono will continue to be obligated to repay any unpaid principal and interest on the advances from the Company. Amounts due to the Company under the Development Agreement and Management Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the North Fork Project except the North Fork Site. In addition, each of the Development Agreement and the Management Agreement contains waivers of the Mono’s sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of enforcing the agreements or permitting or compelling arbitration and other remedies.
The timing of both the North Fork Project and of the repayment of the reimbursable advances is difficult to predict and is contingent on the achievement of the critical milestones, the financing of the North Fork Project, and the cash flows from the North Fork Project. The Company currently estimates that construction of the North Fork Project may begin in the next six months and estimates that the North Fork Project would be completed and opened for business approximately 15 to 18 months after construction begins. The Company expects to assist the Mono in obtaining financing for the North Fork Project once all necessary critical milestones have been achieved and prior to commencement of construction.
The Company has evaluated the likelihood that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed and opened, and has concluded that the likelihood of successful completion is in the range of 75% to 85% at March 31, 2024. The Company’s evaluation is based on its consideration of all available positive and negative evidence about the status of the North Fork Project, including, but not limited to, the status of required regulatory approvals, as well as the progress being made toward the achievement of any remaining critical milestones, the arrangement of financing for the North Fork Project and the status of any remaining litigation and contingencies. There can be no assurance that all the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals will be obtained, that financing will be obtained, that the financing and/or the cash flows from the North Fork Project will be sufficient to repay the advances, that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed or that future events and circumstances will not change the Company’s estimates of the timing, scope, and potential for successful completion or that any

such changes will not be material. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all of its investment in the North Fork Project even if it is successfully completed and opened for business.

Credit Facility
On March 14, 2024, Station LLC entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the existing credit agreement and pursuant to which the Company repaid all loans outstanding under the existing credit agreement and (a) incurred (i) a new senior secured term “B” loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,570.0 million (the “New Term B Facility” and the term “B” loans funded thereunder, the “New Term B Loan”) and (ii) a new senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term B Facility, the “New Credit Facilities”), and (b) made certain other amendments to the existing credit agreement, including the extinguishment of the existing term loan “A” facility. The New Revolving Credit Facility will mature on March 14, 2029 and the New Term B Facility will mature on March 14, 2031.
Borrowings under the New Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term (“Term SOFR”) or a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the administrative agent’s “prime rate” and (iii) the one-month Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is, in the case of the New Term B Loan, 2.25% per annum in the case of any Term SOFR loan and 1.25% in the case of any base rate loan. The applicable margin in the case of the New Revolving Credit Facility is shown below:

Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio | | SOFR | | Base Rate |
Greater than 3.00 to 1.00 | | 1.75 | % | | 0.75 | % |
Equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00 | | 1.50 | % | | 0.50 | % |
The New Credit Facilities contain a number of customary covenants, including requirements that Station LLC maintain throughout the term of such facilities and measured as of the end of each quarter, a maximum total secured net leverage ratio of 5.00 to 1.00. A breach of the financial ratio covenants shall only become an event of default if not cured and a Covenant Facility Acceleration has occurred. Management believes the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at March 31, 2024.
Revolving Credit Facility
At March 31, 2024, Station LLC’s borrowing availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the facility, was $871.1 million, which was net of $185.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $43.9 million in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations.
6.625% Senior Notes
On March 14, 2024, Station LLC issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2032 (the “6.625% Senior Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of March 14, 2024, among Station LLC, the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee. The net proceeds of the sale of the 6.625% Senior Notes together with the borrowings under the New Term B Loan were used (i) to refinance all loans and commitments outstanding under the Credit Facility, (ii) to pay fees and costs associated with such transactions and (iii) for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 6.625% Senior Notes will be paid every six months in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2024. The Company capitalized $6.7 million in new costs associated with the 6.625% Senior Notes, which were primarily lender fees.
The indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes contains a number of customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the ability of Station LLC and its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; issue disqualified stock or create subordinated indebtedness that is not subordinated to the 6.625% Senior Notes; create liens; engage in mergers, consolidations or asset dispositions; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; engage in lines of business other than its core business and related businesses; make investments or pay dividends or distributions (other than customary tax distributions); or create restrictions on dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the indenture. The indenture governing the 6.625% Senior Notes also provides for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on such 6.625% Senior Notes to be declared due and payable.
Interest Rate Collars
In April 2024, the Company entered into two interest rate collars with a total notional amount of $750.0 million.

At March 31, 2024, unrecognized share-based compensation cost was $71.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.
8. Income Taxes
Red Rock is a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes on its income, primarily pass-through income from Station Holdco based upon Red Rock’s economic interest held in Station Holdco. Station Holdco is a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. Station Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their respective share of Station Holdco’s pass-through taxable income.
The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes necessary cumulative adjustments to the total tax provision or benefit.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 7.4%, as compared to 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differs from the 21% statutory rate primarily because its effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that Station Holdco operates as a limited liability company, which is not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the Company is not taxed on the portion of Station Holdco’s income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Additionally, the effective tax rate is impacted by the permanent tax benefit attributable to the stock compensation activity from Station Holdco.
As a result of the Company’s 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”) and certain reorganization transactions, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset resulting from the outside basis difference of its interest in Station Holdco. The Company also recorded a deferred tax asset for its liability related to payments to be made pursuant to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) representing 85% of the tax savings the Company expects to realize from the amortization deductions associated with the step-up in the basis of depreciable assets under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. This deferred tax asset will be recovered as cash payments are made to the TRA participants. In addition, the Company records deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and other tax attributes, as applicable.

(UNAUDITED)
The Company considers both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is not required to the extent that, in management’s judgment, positive evidence exists with a magnitude and duration sufficient to result in a conclusion that it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the TRA with certain owners who held LLC Units prior to the IPO. In the event that such parties exchange any or all of their LLC Units for Class A common stock or cash, at the election of the Company, the TRA requires the Company to make payments to such holders for 85% of the tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of such exchange. The Company expects to realize these tax benefits based on current projections of taxable income. The annual tax benefits are computed by calculating the income taxes due, including such tax benefits, and the income taxes due without such benefits.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s liability under the TRA was $20.4 million and $22.1 million, respectively, of which $5.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, was payable to Fertitta Family Entities. No LLC Units were exchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company made payments on the TRA liability of $1.7 million and expects to pay $1.2 million of the TRA liability within the next twelve months.
The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates each year and the tax rate then applicable. The payment obligations under the TRA are Red Rock’s obligations and are not obligations of Station Holdco or Station LLC. Payments are generally due within a specified period of time following the filing of the Company’s annual tax return and interest on such payments will accrue from the original due date (without extensions) of the income tax return until the date paid. Payments not made within the required period after the filing of the income tax return generally accrue interest.
The TRA will remain in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA. The TRA will also terminate if the Company breaches its obligations under the TRA or upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control. If the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA, or if the TRA is terminated early in accordance with its terms, the Company’s payment obligations would be accelerated based upon certain assumptions, including the assumption that the Company would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize such tax benefits, and may substantially exceed the actual benefits, if any, the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRA.
9. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Red Rock by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive shares, including shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, based on the application of the treasury stock method, and outstanding Class B common stock that is exchangeable, along with an equal number of LLC Units, for Class A common stock, based on the application of the if-converted method. Dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 represented outstanding shares of Class B common stock, nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. All other potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits relating to routine matters incidental to their business. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of any legal matters and litigation inherently involves significant risks. The Company does not believe there are any legal matters outstanding that would have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
11. Segments
The Company views each of its Las Vegas casino properties and each of its Native American management arrangements as an individual operating segment. The Company aggregates all of its Las Vegas operating segments into one reportable segment because all of its Las Vegas properties offer similar products, cater to the same customer base, have the same regulatory and tax structure, share the same marketing techniques, are directed by a centralized management structure and have similar economic characteristics. The Company also aggregates its Native American management arrangements into one reportable segment. There was no Native American management activity in the current or prior year periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) of Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Red Rock” or the “Company”) is intended to help the reader understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Overview
Red Rock was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates seven major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. In December 2023, we opened Durango Casino & Resort (“Durango”).
We own all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and have an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through our ownership of limited liability company interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, (“LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At March 31, 2024, we held 58% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and we are designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. We control and operate all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conduct all of our operations through these entities. Other than assets and liabilities related to income taxes and the tax receivable agreement, our only material assets are our equity interest in Station Holdco, our voting interest in Station LLC and a note receivable from Station LLC. We have no operations outside of our management of Station Holdco and Station LLC.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidation of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, and Station Holdco. The financial position and results of operations attributable to LLC Units we do not own are reported separately as noncontrolling interest.
Our principal source of revenue and operating income is gaming, and our non-gaming offerings include restaurants, hotels and other entertainment amenities. Approximately 80% to 85% of our casino revenue is generated from slot play. The majority of our revenue is cash-based and as a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flows from operations. Because our business is capital intensive, we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing and fund capital expenditures.
A significant portion of our business is dependent upon customers who live and/or work in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. In March 2024, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 5.1% as compared to 5.7% in March 2023. Statewide, the unemployment rate for March 2024 was 5.1% as compared to 5.5% in March 2023. In March 2024, the median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas according to the Las Vegas Realtors® was $465,000, up 9.4% from $425,000 in March 2023. In light of uncertainty in the economic outlook stemming from inflation, higher interest rates, increased energy costs and increased geo-political and regional conflicts, we cannot predict whether the trend in unemployment or the trend in housing prices in the Las Vegas area will continue.
We have continued to experience favorable customer trends, including consistent visitation from our guests and strong spend per visit across the majority of our properties. These trends, in combination with our operational discipline and our focus on our core local guests, as well as regional and out of town guests, continued to drive consistent operating results in 2024. However, we cannot predict whether these trends will continue, nor can we predict the extent to which impacts of inflation, increased energy costs and interest rate fluctuations may affect our business in the future.
Information about our results of operations is included herein and in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Key Performance Indicators
We use certain key indicators to measure our performance.
Gaming revenue measures:
•Slot handle, table game drop and race and sports write are measures of volume. Slot handle represents the dollar amount wagered in slot machines, and table game drop represents the total amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in table game drop boxes.
•Win represents the amount of wagers retained by us.
•Hold represents win as a percentage of slot handle, table game drop or race and sports write.
As our customers are primarily Las Vegas residents, our hold percentages are generally consistent from period to period. Fluctuations in our casino revenue are primarily due to the volume and spending levels of customers at our properties.
Food and beverage revenue measures:
•Average guest check is a measure of food sales volume and product offerings at our restaurants, and represents the average amount spent per customer visit.
•Number of guests served is an indicator of volume.
Room revenue measures:
•Occupancy is calculated by dividing occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by rooms available.
•Average daily rate (“ADR”) is calculated by dividing room revenue, which includes the retail value of complimentary rooms, by rooms occupied, including complimentary rooms.
•Revenue per available room is calculated by dividing room revenue by rooms available.

We view each of our Las Vegas casino properties as an individual operating segment. We aggregate all of our Las Vegas operating segments into one reportable segment because all of our Las Vegas properties offer similar products, cater to the same customer base, have the same regulatory and tax structure, share the same marketing programs, are directed by a centralized management structure and have similar economic characteristics. We also aggregate our Native American management arrangements into one reportable segment. There was no Native American management activity in the current or prior year periods. The results of operations for our Las Vegas operations are discussed in the remaining sections below.
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $55.3 million to $488.9 million, as compared to $433.6 million for the prior year period. Contributing to our year over year increase is our Durango property which opened on December 5, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our casino revenue, food and beverage, room and other revenues increased by 9.9%, 19.4%, 20.4% and 11.0%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2023.
Operating Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our operating income was $155.5 million compared to $137.3 million for the prior year period. Our Durango property contributed to the year over year increase in operating income. Additional information about factors impacting our operating income is included below.
Casino. Casino revenues increased by 9.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period, our slot handle increased by 9.2%, table games drop increased by 50.3% and race and sports write decreased by 1.5%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 our slot hold was consistent, while our tables games and race and sports hold decreased by 3.5% and 2.0%, respectively, all as compared to the prior year period. Casino expenses increased by 18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to our Durango property.
Food and Beverage. Food and beverage includes revenue and expenses from our restaurants, bars and catering. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, food and beverage revenue increased by 19.4% as compared to the same period in the prior year due to additional food and beverage offerings. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the average guest check increased by 11.5% and the number of restaurant guests served increased by 8.4% as compared to the prior year period. Food and beverage expenses for three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period increased by 22.2%, primarily due to our Durango property.
Room. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, room revenues increased by 20.4%, and room expenses increased by 16.6% as compared to the prior year period. Room expenses were higher for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period commensurate with higher revenues and increased occupancy.
Information about our hotel operations is presented below:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Occupancy | 88.0 | % | | 87.0 | % |
Average daily rate | $ | 216.69 | | | $ | 198.38 | |
Revenue per available room | $ | 190.57 | | | $ | 172.45 | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our ADR increased by 9.2%, our revenue per available room improved by 10.5% and our occupancy rate improved by 1.0% percentage point as compared to the prior year period due to increased demand.
Other. Other primarily represents revenues from tenant leases, retail outlets, bowling, spas, and entertainment, and their corresponding expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other revenues increased by 11.0% as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by additional leased outlets. For the same period, other expenses decreased by 5.8%.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). SG&A expenses increased by 13.3% to $104.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $92.5 million for the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to our Durango property. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were effectively flat as compared to the prior year period as we continued to focus on operational efficiencies and cost control.
Depreciation and Amortization. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, depreciation and amortization expense increased to $44.9 million as compared to $31.1 million for the prior year period. The increase for 2024 was primarily due to higher depreciation expense associated with Durango’s assets placed in service in December 2023.
Write-downs and Other, net. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, write-downs and other, net totaled $2.1 million, primarily comprising development and preopening expenses and business innovation development expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, write-downs and other, net totaled $19.6 million, primarily comprising preopening and development expenses, demolition costs associated with our closed properties and business innovation development expenses.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net increased to $57.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $42.5 million, for the same period in 2023. The increase in interest expense was due to higher variable interest rates applicable to our credit facility for the current year period. We expect that the interest rates on our credit facility may continue to vary in response to macroeconomic conditions. On March 14, 2024, we completed a series of refinancing transactions pursuant to which we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and issued $500 million of 6.625% senior notes due 2032 (the “6.625% Senior Notes”). The proceeds of the 6.625% Senior Notes, together
with borrowings under the Credit Agreement, were used to repay all amounts outstanding under our existing credit facility, pay fees and costs associated with the transactions, and for general corporate purposes. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the refinancing transactions as well as our other long-term debt.
Provision for Income Tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a provision for income tax of $6.3 million. Station Holdco is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes and Station Holdco’s members are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their share of Station Holdco’s taxable income. We are not liable for income tax on the noncontrolling interests’ share of Station Holdco’s taxable income or benefit from a taxable loss, and therefore our effective tax rate of 7.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was less than the statutory rate. We recognized income tax expense of $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 represented the portion of net income attributable to the ownership interest in Station Holdco not held by us.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 for our two reportable segments and a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA are presented below (amounts in thousands). The Las Vegas operations segment includes all of our Las Vegas casino properties and the Native American management segment includes our Native American management arrangements. There was no Native American management activity in the current or prior year periods.

The year-over-year changes in Adjusted EBITDA were due to the factors described within Results of Operations above.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely used measure of operating performance in our industry and is a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. We believe that in addition to net income, Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our operating performance because it provides information about the performance of our ongoing core operations. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 includes net income plus depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, write-downs and other, net (including gains and losses on asset disposals, preopening and development, business innovation and technology enhancements, demolition costs and non-routine items), interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment/modification of debt and provision for income tax.
To evaluate Adjusted EBITDA and the trends it depicts, the components should be considered. Each of these components can significantly affect our results of operations and should be considered in evaluating our operating performance, and the impact of these components cannot be determined from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. It should be noted that not all gaming companies that report EBITDA or adjustments to this measure may calculate EBITDA or such adjustments in the same manner as we do, and therefore, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other gaming companies.
Holding Company Financial Information
The indentures governing the 4.50% Senior Notes, 4.625% Senior Notes and 6.625% Senior Notes contain certain covenants that require Station LLC to furnish to the holders of the notes certain annual and quarterly financial information relating to Station LLC and its subsidiaries. The obligation to furnish such information may be satisfied by providing consolidated financial information of the Company along with additional disclosure explaining the differences between such information and the financial information of Station LLC and its subsidiaries on a standalone basis. The following financial information about the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, exclusive of Station LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Holding Company”), is furnished to explain the differences between the financial information of the Holding Company and the financial information of Station LLC and its subsidiaries for the periods presented in this report. The primary differences between the financial information of the Holding Company and that of Station LLC relate to income taxes, the liability associated with the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) and a note receivable from Station LLC.
At March 31, 2024, the difference between the balance sheet for Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and the balance sheet for the Holding Company is that the Holding Company had cash of $4.5 million, $8.2 million of income tax receivable, $43.4 million of deferred tax assets, net, and a $34.5 million note receivable from Station LLC, which are solely assets of the Holding Company, and liabilities that are solely the Holding Company’s, consisting of a $20.4 million liability under the TRA, of which $1.2 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months and $4.0 million of other liabilities. The Holding Company’s $34.5 million intercompany note receivable from Station LLC is eliminated in consolidation. At December 31, 2023, the Holding Company had cash of $0.2 million, $14.4 million of income tax receivable, $43.4 million of deferred tax assets, net, and a $34.0 million note receivable from Station LLC, which are solely assets of the Holding Company, and liabilities that are solely the Holding Company’s, consisting of a $22.1 million liability under the TRA, of which $1.7 million was current, and $3.3 million of other liabilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the difference between the statement of income from Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and the statement of income for the Holding Company is that the Holding Company had a net loss of $5.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively, primarily representing provision for income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following financial condition, capital resources and liquidity discussion contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations, dispositions, acquisitions, expansion projects and issuances of debt and equity, which involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified, and consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks described in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
At March 31, 2024, we had $129.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. Station LLC maintains its borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the credit facility. At March 31, 2024, Station LLC’s borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $871.1 million, which was net of $185.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $43.9 million in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations.
On March 14, 2024, Station LLC entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the existing credit agreement and pursuant to which Station LLC repaid all loans outstanding under the existing credit agreement and (a) incurred (i) a new senior secured term “B” loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,570.0 million (the “New Term B Facility” and the term “B” loans funded thereunder, the “New Term B Loan”) and (ii) a new senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term B Facility, the “New Credit Facilities”), and (b) made certain other amendments to the existing credit agreement, including the extinguishment of the existing term loan “A” facility. The New Revolving Credit
Facility will mature on March 14, 2029 and the New Term B Facility will mature on March 14, 2031. Borrowings under the New Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum, at our option, equal to either the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term (“Term SOFR”) or a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the administrative agent’s “prime rate” and (iii) the one-month Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is, in the case of the New Term B Loan, 2.25% per annum in the case of any Term SOFR loan and 1.25% in the case of any base rate loan.
In addition, on March 14, 2024, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes pursuant to an indenture dated as of March 14, 2024, among Station LLC, the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee. The net proceeds of the sale of the 6.625% Senior Notes together with the borrowings under the New Term B Loan were used (i) to refinance all loans and commitments outstanding under the existing credit agreement, (ii) to pay fees and costs associated with such transactions and (iii) for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 6.625% Senior Notes will be paid every six months in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2024. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our long-term debt.
Our primary capital requirements for the near term are expected to be related to the operation and maintenance of our properties, debt service payments, dividends and distributions. Our anticipated uses of cash for the remainder of 2024 include (i) approximately $75 million to $135 million for capital expenditures, including amounts to close out our Durango project, (ii) required principal and interest payments on Station LLC’s indebtedness totaling $12.8 million and $168.9 million, respectively, (iii) dividends to our Class A common stockholders, including approximately $14.9 million to be paid in June 2024, and (iv) distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco, including approximately $11.5 million to be paid in June 2024 and including “tax distributions” that may be made quarterly when required and in amounts that may vary from quarter to quarter. Other payment obligations include salaries, wages and employee benefits, service contracts, property taxes, insurance and other obligations.
Our board of directors has authorized $600.0 million for repurchases of Class A common stock under our equity repurchase program through June 30, 2024. On May 2, 2024, our board of directors extended the expiration date of the equity repurchase program to December 31, 2025. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under the program. Subject to applicable laws and the provisions of any agreements restricting our ability to do so, repurchases may be made at our discretion from time to time through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or tender offers, depending on market conditions and other factors. We made no repurchases of Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024 under the program. At March 31, 2024, we had $312.9 million of remaining repurchases authorized under the program. From time to time, we may also seek to repurchase our outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases may be funded by existing cash balances or the incurrence of debt, including borrowings under our credit facility. The amount and timing of any repurchases will be based on business and market conditions, capital availability, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.
We expect that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings available under the credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements and service our outstanding indebtedness for the next twelve months. We regularly assess our projected cash requirements for capital expenditures, repayment of debt obligations, and payment of other general corporate and operational needs. In the long term, we expect that we will fund our capital requirements with a combination of cash generated from operations, borrowings under the credit facility and the issuance of debt or equity as market conditions may permit. However, our cash flow and ability to obtain debt or equity financing on terms that are satisfactory to us, or at all, may be affected by a variety of factors, including competition, general economic and business conditions and financial markets. As a result, we cannot provide any assurance that we will generate sufficient income and liquidity to meet all of our liquidity requirements or other obligations.
Following is a summary of our cash flow information (amounts in thousands):

| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 126,461 | | | $ | 140,522 | |
Investing activities | (99,995) | | | (179,971) | |
Financing activities | (34,347) | | | 29,867 | |
Cash Flows from Operations
Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income or loss generated by our properties (excluding depreciation and other non-cash charges), interest and income tax payments, and changes in working capital accounts such as inventories, prepaid expenses, receivables and payables. The majority of our revenue is generated from our slot machine and table game play, which is conducted primarily on a cash basis. Our food and beverage, room and other revenues are also primarily cash-based. As a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flow from operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $126.5 million as compared to $140.5 million for the prior year period. Cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 included $50.4 million and $42.3 million in interest payments, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we also paid $10.0 million in fees and costs related to debt modification. In addition, our operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased as compared to the prior year period due to changes in working capital accounts. Information about our operating activities is presented within Results of Operations above.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, cash paid for capital expenditures totaled $98.1 million and $175.5 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily related to the Durango project.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
As described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, Station LLC entered into an amended and restated credit agreement pursuant to which it repaid all loans outstanding under the existing credit agreement, borrowed $1,570.0 million under the New Term B Facility and borrowed $200.0 million under the New Revolving Credit Facility. Station LLC also issued $500.0 million in principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2032 and paid $21.5 million in debt issuance costs. In addition, we paid $74.1 million in dividends to Class A common stockholders and $57.5 million in cash distributions to the noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco. We also paid $10.9 million related to tax withholding on share-based compensation during the period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we borrowed $73.0 million under the existing revolving credit facility, and paid $15.0 million in dividends to Class A common stockholders and $11.5 million in cash distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco. We also paid $3.5 million related to tax withholding on share-based compensation.
Restrictive Covenants
The agreements governing our credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, obtain additional debt or equity financing due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements. The financial ratio covenants contained in the recent amendments to the Credit Agreement include a maximum Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio of 5.00 to 1.00. We believe that as of March 31, 2024, Station LLC was in compliance with the covenants contained in the credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes.
As a result of these covenants and restrictions, we are limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to provide liquidity if changes in the economy, discretionary spending, consumer confidence or other external factors negatively affect our business. In addition, such covenants and restrictions may limit our ability to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. Further, our ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and industry conditions.
Failure to satisfy the covenants contained in the credit agreements, indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness would require us to seek waivers or amendments of such covenants. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain required waivers or amendments, as such matters depend, in part, on factors outside of our control. If we fail to satisfy our covenants and are unable to obtain such waivers or amendments, our creditors could exercise remedies under the applicable documents governing such indebtedness, including acceleration of such indebtedness.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2024, we had no variable interests in unconsolidated entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development arrangements with us, nor did we have retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. At March 31, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations totaling $43.9 million.
Inflation
Our business continues to experience the impact of inflation and higher interest rates and we expect the impact to continue through the remainder of 2024. Commodity prices have increased and become more volatile, and we continue to experience price inflation in ordinary goods and services such as food costs, supplies, energy costs and construction costs. In addition, we have been impacted by a shortage of qualified workers which places additional upward pressure on wages and benefit costs as we seek to attract and retain qualified workers. We attempt to minimize the impact of inflation on our business by implementing cost controls, adjusting prices and optimizing our procurement strategy.
Native American Development
We have development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians, a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, pursuant to which we will assist the tribe in developing, financing and operating a gaming and entertainment facility to be located on Highway 99 north of the city of Madera, California. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about this project.
Regulation and Taxes
We are subject to extensive regulation by Nevada gaming authorities as well as the National Indian Gaming Commission and the California Gambling Control Commission. In addition, we will be subject to regulation, which may or may not be similar to that in Nevada, by any other jurisdiction in which we may conduct gaming activities in the future.
The gaming industry represents a significant source of tax revenue, particularly to the State of Nevada and its counties and municipalities. From time to time, various state and federal legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax law, or in the administration of such law, affecting the gaming industry. The Nevada legislature meets every two years for 120 days and when special sessions are called by the Governor. The most recent special legislative session ended on June 14, 2023. There are currently no specific legislative proposals to increase taxes on gaming revenue, but there are no assurances that an increase in taxes on gaming or other revenue will not be proposed and passed by the Nevada legislature in the future.

Certain important factors, including but not limited to, financial market risks, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
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. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt. There have been no material changes in our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2024. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
