SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Dec. 31, 2023

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Melco and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimated the fair values using appropriate valuation methodologies and market information available as of the balance sheet date.

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist of bank time deposits placed with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.

(e)

Restricted Cash

The current portion of restricted cash represents cash deposited into bank accounts which are restricted as to withdrawal and use and the Company expects these funds will be released or utilized in accordance with the terms of the respective agreements within the next twelve months, while the

non-current

portion of restricted cash represents funds that will not be released or utilized within the next twelve months. Restricted cash mainly represents cash deposits in (i) collateral bank accounts for bank guarantees as disclosed in Note 3; and (ii) collateral bank accounts associated with borrowings under the credit facilities as disclosed in Note 1

(f)

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues credit in the form of markers to approved casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness. Credit is/can be given to gaming promoters. These receivables can be offset against commissions payable and any other value items held by the Company to the respective customers and gaming promoters for which the Company intends to set off when required. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, a substantial portion of the Company’s markers were due from customers and gaming promoters residing in foreign countries. Business and economic conditions, the legal enforceability of gaming debts, foreign currency control measures or other significant events in foreign countries could affect the collectability of receivables from customers and gaming promoters residing in these countries.

Accounts receivable, including casino, hotel and other receivables, are typically

non-interest

bearing and are recorded at amortized cost. Accounts are written off when management deems it is probable the receivables are uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An estimated allowance for credit losses is maintained to reduce the Company’s receivables to their carrying amounts, which reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect. The allowance

for credit losses

is estimated based on specific reviews of the age of the balances owed, the customers’ financial condition, management’s experience with the collection trends of the customers, current business and economic conditions, and management’s expectations of future business and economic conditions.

Management believes that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which an allowance had not already been recorded.

(g)

Inventories

Inventories consist of retail merchandise, food and beverage items and certain operating supplies, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the

first-in,

first-out,

weighted average and specific identification methods.

(h)

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets represent current assets that are typically used up or expire within the normal operating cycle of the Company. The prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were

$67,035 and $77,767, respectively, and the other current assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $44,653 and $41,643,

respectively.

(i)

Assets Held For Sale

Assets (disposal group) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair values less costs to sell. Losses are recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down to fair values less costs to sell, while gains are recognized for any subsequent increases in fair values less costs to sell, but not in excess of the cumulative losses previously recognized. Assets are not depreciated and amortized while classified as held for sale.

impairment on assets held for sale was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, an impairment of assets held for sale of

$6,794

which related to a significant decrease in the market value of a piece of freehold land in Japan as described in Note 5, was recognized and included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the freehold land was calculated by using level 3 inputs based on the

market approach.

(j)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, and accumulated impairment, if any. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

During the construction and development stage of the Company’s integrated resort facilities, direct and incremental costs related to the design and construction, including costs under construction contracts, duties and tariffs, equipment installations, shipping costs, payroll and payroll-benefit related costs, applicable portions of interest, including amortization of deferred financing costs, are capitalized in property and equipment. The capitalization of such costs begins when the construction and development of a project starts and ceases once the construction is substantially completed or development activity is substantially suspended.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to capitalized construction costs and other property and eq

pment is recognized from the time each asset is placed in service. This may occur at different stages as integrated resort facilities are completed and opened.

Property and equipment are depreciated and amortized over the following estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis:


Freehold land		Not depreciated
Buildings		4 to 40 years
Transportation		5 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements		3 to 10 years or over the lease term, whichever is shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		2 to 15 years
Plant and gaming machinery		3 to 5 years

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, impairments of property and equipment of $110,033, $3,595 and $3,643, being part of the impairment of long-lived assets as described in Note 2(m), were recognized, respectively, and included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(k)

Capitalized Interest

Interest, including amortization of deferred financing costs, associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the projects. The capitalization of interest ceases when the project is substantially completed or the development activity is substantially suspended. The amount to be capitalized is determined by applying the weighted average interest rate of the Company’s outstanding borrowings to the average amount of accumulated qualifying capital expenditures for assets under construction during the year. Total interest expense incurred amounted to

$518,255, $440,654 and $380,904, of which $25,864, $63,932 and $30,360 were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(l)

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of any business acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.

Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their useful lives unless their lives are determined to be indefinite in which case they are not amortized. Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and accumulated impairment, if any. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of the previous gaming subconcession for the period up to its expiry on December 31, 2022, the Concession, the Cyprus License (as defined in Note 7),

internal-use

software and proprietary rights. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual terms or estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The Company’s intangible assets with indefinite lives represent Mocha Clubs trademarks, which are tested for impairment on an annual basis or when circumstances indicate the carrying value of the intangible assets may not be recoverable.

Costs incurred to develop software for internal use are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software of 3 to 15 years on a straight-line basis. The capitalization of such costs begins during the application development stage of the software project and ceases once the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Costs of specified upgrades and enhancements to the

internal-use

software are capitalized, while costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance and all other post-implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred.

When performing the impairment analysis for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company will first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative factors indicate that the carrying amount of the reporting unit is more likely than not to exceed the fair value, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. To perform a quantitative impairment test of intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company performs an assessment that consists of a comparison of the fair values of the intangible assets with indefinite lives with their carrying amounts. An impairment is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values of the intangible assets with indefinite lives. To perform a quantitative impairment test of goodwill, the Company performs an assessment that consists of a comparison of the carrying value of a reporting unit with its fair value. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using income valuation approaches through the application of the discounted cash flow method. Estimating fair value of the reporting unit involves significant

assumptions, including future revenue growth rates, future market conditions, gross margin, discount rate and terminal growth rate. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

impairment on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2023, an intangible asset with finite lives for Altira Macau was fully impaired, being part of the impairment of long-lived assets as described in Note 2(m). No impairment on intangible assets with finite lives was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(

)

Impairment of Long-lived Assets (Other Than Goodwill)

The Company evaluates the long-lived assets with finite lives to be held and used for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Company then compares the estimated future cash flows of the assets, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying values of the assets. Estimating future cash flows of the assets involves significant assumptions, including future revenue growth rates, future market conditions and gross margin. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying values, no impairments are indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying values, then an impairment charge is recorded based on the fair values of the assets, typically measured using a discounted cash flow model involving significant assumptions, such as discount rates. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, with the market value of Altira Macau significantly decreased as a result of a change in its forecasted performance given the latest market conditions and lingering disruptions to the business caused by COVID-19 and the Company’s earlier cessation of arrangements with gaming promoters in Macau, the Company recognized an impairment of long-lived assets in relation to Altira Macau of

$207,608

which was recognized and included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Such amount included the impairment of Altira Macau’s property and equipment of

$110,033

, and the full impairment of the finite-lived intangible assets, land use rights and

operating lease right-of-use assets

for Altira Macau of

$30,435

$65,172

and

1,968

, respectively. The fair values of the long-lived assets of Altira Macau were estimated by using level 3 inputs based on a combination of income and cost approaches.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, an impairment of long-lived assets of

3,595

represents

the impairment of property and equipment which related to a significant decrease in the market value of an aircraft as described in Note 5 was recognized and included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the aircraft was estimated by using level 2 inputs based on a buyer indicative purchase price. During the year ended December 31, 2021, an impairment of long-lived assets

3,643

represents impairment of property and equipment, mainly due to reconfigurations and renovations at the Company’s operating properties, and of which

1,147

related to a significant decrease in the market value of a piece of freehold land as described in Note 5 was recognized and included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the freehold land was calculated by using level 3 inputs based on the market approach.

(n)

Deferred Financing Costs

Direct and incremental costs incurred in obtaining loans or in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of revolving credit facilities are included in other assets, either current or

non-current,

in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, based on the maturity of each revolving credit facility. All other deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(o)

Land Use Rights

Land use rights represent the upfront land premiums paid for the use of land held under operating leases, which are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and accumulated impairment, if any. Amortization is provided over the estimated term of the land use rights of

years on a

straight-line basis

During the year ended December 31, 2023, land use right for Altira Macau was fully impaired, being part of the impairment of long-lived assets as described in Note 2(m). No impairment on land use rights was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(p)

Leases

At the inception of the contract or upon modification, the Company will perform an assessment as to whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. A lessee has control of an identified asset if it has both the right to direct the use of the asset and the right to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset.

Finance and operating lease

right-of-use

assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The initial measurement of the

right-of-use

assets also includes any prepaid lease payments and any initial direct costs incurred and is reduced by any lease incentive received. For leases where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company’s lease contracts have lease and

non-lease

components. For contracts in which the Company is a lessee, the Company accounts for the lease components and

non-lease

components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets, except for real estate. For contracts in which the Company is a lessor, all are accounted for as operating leases, and the lease components and

non-lease

components are accounted for separately.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, operating lease right-of-use assets for Altira Macau was fully impaired, being part of the impairment of long-lived assets as described in Note 2(m). No impairment on operating lease right-of-use assets was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(q)

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers consist of casino wagers, sales of rooms, food and beverage, entertainment, retail and other goods and services.

Gross casino revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses. The Company accounts for its casino wagering transactions on a portfolio basis versus an individual basis as all wagers have similar characteristics. Commissions rebated to customers and gaming promoters, cash discounts and other cash incentives earned by customers are recorded as reductions of casino revenues. In addition to the wagers, casino transactions typically include performance obligations related to complimentary goods or services provided to incentivize future gaming or in exchange for incentives or points earned under the Company’s

non-discretionary

incentive programs (including loyalty programs).

For casino transactions that include complimentary goods or services provided by the Company to incentivize future gaming, the Company allocates the standalone selling price of each good or service to the appropriate revenue type based on the good or service provided. Complimentary goods or services that are provided under the Company’s control and discretion and supplied by third parties are recorded as operating expenses.

The Company operates different

non-discretionary

incentive programs in certain of its properties which include loyalty programs (the “Loyalty Programs”) to encourage repeat business mainly from loyal slot machine customers and table games patrons. Customers earn points primarily based on gaming activity and such points can be redeemed for free play and other free goods and services. For casino transactions that include points earned under the Loyalty Programs, the Company defers a portion of the revenue by recording the estimated standalone selling prices of the earned points that are expected to be redeemed as a liability. Upon redemption of the points for Company-owned goods or services, the standalone selling price of each good or service is allocated to the appropriate revenue type based on the good or service provided. Upon the redemption of the points with third parties, the redemption amount is deducted from the liability and paid directly to the third party.

After allocating amounts to the complimentary goods or services provided and to the points earned under the Loyalty Programs, the residual amount is recorded as casino revenue when the wagers are settled.

The Company follows the accounting standards for reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent, when accounting for the operations of two of its externally managed hotels and Grand Dragon Casino and concluded that it is the controlling entity and is the principal to these arrangements. For the operations of these two externally managed hotels, as the Company is the owner of the hotel properties, the hotel managers operate the respective hotels under management agreements providing management services to the Company, and the Company receives all rewards and takes substantial risks associated with the hotel businesses. The Company is the principal and the transactions are, therefore, recognized on a gross basis. For the operations of Grand Dragon Casino, given the Company operates the casino under a right to use agreement with the owner of the casino premises and has full responsibility for the casino operations in accordance with the Concession or its previous gaming subconcession, it is the principal and casino revenue is, therefore, recognized on a gross basis.

The transaction prices for rooms, food and beverage, entertainment, retail and other goods and services are the net amounts collected from customers for such goods and services that are recorded as revenues when the goods are provided, services are performed or events are held. Service taxes and other applicable taxes collected by the Company are excluded from revenues. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as customer deposits until services are provided to the customers. Revenues from contracts with multiple goods or services provided by the Company are allocated to each good or service based on its relative standalone selling price.

Minimum operating and right to use fees representing lease revenues, adjusted for contractual base fees and operating fee escalations, are included in other revenues and are recognized over the terms of the related agreements on a straight-line basis.

Contract and Contract-Related Liabilities

In providing goods and services to customers, there may be a timing difference between cash receipts from customers and recognition of revenues, resulting in a contract or contract-related liability.

The Company primarily has three types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (1) outstanding gaming chips, which represent the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by customers and gaming promoters, (2) loyalty program liabilities, which represent the deferred allocation of revenues relating to incentives earned from the Loyalty Programs, and (3) advance deposits and ticket sales, which represent casino front money deposits that are funds deposited by customers and gaming promoters before gaming play occurs and advance payments on goods and services yet to be provided such as advance ticket sales and deposits on rooms and convention space. These liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenues within one year of being purchased, earned or deposited and are recorded as accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Decreases in these balances generally represent the recognition of revenues and increases in the balances represent additional chips held by customers and gaming promoters, increases in unredeemed incentives relating to the Loyalty Programs and additional deposits made by customers and gaming promoters.

The following table summarizes the activities related to contract and contract-related liabilities:


	Outstanding gaming chips					Loyalty program liabilities					Advance deposits and ticket sales
	2023		2022			2023		2022			2023			2022

Balance at January 1	$	37,354	$	72,147		$	15,568	$	24,350		$	278,591		$	309,718
Balance at December 31		83,012		37,354			36,000		15,568			250,955			278,591

Increase (Decrease)	$	45,658	$	(34,793	)	$	20,432	$	(8,782	)	$	(27,636	)	$	(31,127	)

(r)

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorit

ies

in the jurisdictions where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on accounting standards for uncertain income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a

two-step

approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position, based on the technical merits of the position, will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based on cumulative probability.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company operates defined contribution fund schemes in different jurisdictions, which allow eligible employees to participate in defined contribution plans (the “Defined Contribution Fund Schemes”). The Company either contributes a fixed percentage of the eligible employees’ relevant income, a fixed amount or an amount which matches the contributions of the employees up to a certain percentage of relevant income to the Defined Contribution Fund Schemes. The Company’s contributions to the Defined Contribution Fund Schemes are vested with employees in accordance to vesting schedules, achieving full vesting ranging from upon contribution to 10 years from the date of employment effective in April 2021. The Defined Contribution Fund Schemes were established under trusts with the fund assets being held separately from those of the Company by independent trustees.

Employees employed by the Company in different jurisdictions are members of government-managed social security fund schemes (the “Social Security Fund Schemes”), which are operated by the respective governments, if applicable. The Company is required to pay monthly fixed contributions or certain percentages of employee relevant income and meet the minimum mandatory requirements of the respective Social Security Fund Schemes to fund the benefits.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s contributions into the defined contribution retirement benefits schemes were $32,041, $26,688 and $26,984, respectively.

The maximum term of an award was 10 years from the date of the grant. The maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares to be available for all awards under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan was 100,000,000 over 10 years. Melco adopted a share incentive plan in 2011 (“2011 Share Incentive Plan”) and a share incentive plan in 2021 (“2021 Share Incentive Plan”) as described below and no further awards would be granted under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan and the 2011 Share Incentive Plan which was terminated on December 6, 2021. All subsequent awards will be issued under the 2021 Share Incentive Plan.

Share Options

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no outstanding share options under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan.

As of December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to share options under the 2006 Share Incentive Plan.

2011 Share Incentive Plan

Melco adopted the 2011 Share Incentive Plan, effective on December 7, 2011, which had been subsequently amended and restated, for grants of various share-based awards, including but not limited to, options to purchase Melco’s ordinary shares, restricted shares, share appreciation rights and other types of awards to eligible directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The maximum term of an award was 10 years from the date of the grant. The maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares to be available for all awards under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan was 100,000,000 over 10 years, which could be raised up to 10% of the issued share capital upon shareholders’ approval. The 2011 Share Incentive Plan would have expired ten years after December 7, 2011.

Melco adopted the 2021 Share Incentive Plan as described below, effective on December 6, 2021 (also the termination date of the 2011 Share Incentive Plan). Upon the termination of the 2011 Share Incentive Plan, no further awards may be granted under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan but the provisions of such plan shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects for any awards granted prior to the date of the termination of such plan.

Share Options

There were no share options granted under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the exercise prices for share options granted under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan were determined at the market closing prices of Melco’s ADS trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the dates of grant. These share options became exercisable over vesting periods of

two

to three years. The share options granted expire 10 years from the date of grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the estimated fair value for each share option granted, with

certain

assumptions, changes in which could materially affect the estimated fair value. Dividend yield is based on the estimate of annual dividends expected to be paid at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Melco’s ADS trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Expected term is based upon the vesting term or the historical expected term of publicly traded companies. The risk-free interest rate used for each period presented is based on the United States of America Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the period equal to the expected term.

The fair values of share options granted under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan were estimated on the dates of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2021
Expected dividend yield		2.50	%
Expected stock price volatility		45.46	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.00	%

On July 7, 2021, a total of 52,056 restricted shares were granted to employees of an affiliated company, a subsidiary of Melco International, for their services rendered to Melco International, with vesting periods of three months to twelve months.

deemed distribution to Melco International in respect of share-based compensation against retained earnings over the vesting period. Deemed distribution

to Melco International in respect of these restricted shares of $143 and $136 were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the reimbursement from Melco International of $279 for restricted shares granted to employees of an affiliated company were recognized as an increase in additional

paid-in

capital of the Company as deemed contribution from Melco International in respect of these restricted shares, with a corresponding increase in receivable from affiliated companies in the consolidated balance sheet.

There were no restricted shares granted under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

On March 28, 2022, the compensation committee of Melco approved a proposal to allow for an option exchange program, designed to provide the eligible participants an opportunity to exchange certain outstanding underwater share options for new share options and new restricted shares to be granted, subject to the eligible participants’ consent (the “Option Exchange Program”). The share options eligible for exchange under the Option Exchange Program were those that were granted during the years from 2012 to 2021 under the 2011 Share Incentive Plan, including those unvested, or vested but not exercised or the unexercised share options granted in 2012 but expired in March 2022. The Option Exchange Program became unconditional and effective on April 15, 2022, the date Melco accepted the eligible participants’ consent (the “Modification Date”), with a total of 26,076,978 eligible share options were tendered and surrendered by eligible participants (the “Cancelled Share Options”) and Melco granted an aggregate of 2,486,241 new share options (the “Replacement Share Options”) and 5,912,547 new restricted shares (the “Replacement Restricted Shares”) under the 2021 Share Incentive Plan. The Replacement Share Options and Replacement Restricted Shares have vesting periods of

to two years. The Replacement Share Options expire 10 years from April 6, 2022. A total incremental share-based compensation expense resulting from the Option Exchange

Program

was approximately $3,306, representing the excess of (i) the fair value of certain Replacement Share Options measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the Modification Date; and (ii) the fair value of certain Replacement Restricted Shares determined with reference to the market closing price of Melco’s ADS trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the Modification Date, over the fair value of the Cancelled Share Options that were granted during 2013 to 2021 immediately before the exchange. The incremental share-based compensation expenses and the unrecognized compensation costs remaining from the Cancelled Share Options are being recognized over the new vesting periods of the Replacement Share Options and Replacement Restricted Shares. The weighted average fair value of the Replacement Share Options at the Modification Date was $0.82.

The fair values of the Replacement Share Options granted under the 2021 Share Incentive Plan were estimated on the Modification Date using the following weighted average assumptions:



Expected dividend yield	2.50	%

The maximum aggregate number of common shares to be available for all awards under the MRP Share Incentive Plan is 442,630,330 shares with up to 5% of the issued capital stock of MRP from time to time over 10 years. On April 24, 2019 and June 24, 2019, the board and the shareholders of MRP approved an amendment to the Amended Articles of Incorporation of MRP, respectively, whereby, without changing the total amount of the authorized capital stock, the par value per MRP common share was increased from PHP1 (equivalent to $0.02) per share to PHP500,000 (equivalent to $9,857) per share, thereby decreasing the total number of MRP common shares on a

pro-rata

basis (“Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Philippine SEC”) on May 12, 2020. As of December 31, 2023, there were 305 MRP common shares available for grants of various share-based awards under the MRP Share Incentive Plan. All share and per share data of MRP common shares relating to the transactions carried out before May 12, 2020 as disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, represent the number of shares or value per share of MRP common shares before the Reverse Stock Split.

All accrued liability associated with the cash-settled share options and restricted shares in accordance with the original vesting schedules was fully vested and settled during the year ended December 31, 2021. No fair value gain or loss on remeasurement of the liability associated with the cash-settled share options and restricted shares was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Melco International Share Incentive Plan

On September 6, 2019, certain share-based awards under Melco International’s share option scheme adopted on May 30, 2012 and share purchase scheme adopted on October 18, 2007 (the “Melco International Share Incentive Plan”) were granted by Melco International to an employee of the Company.

On April 6, 2022, the board of directors of Melco International announced an option exchange program, to provide the eligible participants an opportunity to exchange certain outstanding underwater share options for new share options and new restricted shares to be granted, subject to the eligible participants’ consent (the “Melco International Option Exchange Program”). The share options eligible for exchange under the Melco International Option Exchange Program were those that were granted during the years from 2016 to 2021 under the Melco International Share Incentive Plan, including those unvested, or vested but not exercised. The Melco International Option Exchange Program became effective on April 6, 2022. A total of 14,200,000 eligible share options granted

to an

employee of the Company were accepted and surrendered and Melco International granted an aggregate of 4,740,000 new restricted shares under the Melco International Share Incentive Plan (the “Melco International Replacement Restricted Shares”). The Melco International Replacement Restricted Shares have vesting periods of

one

to two years.

No incremental share-based compensation expense was resulted from the Melco International Option Exchange Program.

In accordance with the applicable accounting standards, the share-based compensation expenses related to the grant of share-based awards under the Melco International Share Incentive Plan to an employee of the Company, to the extent of services received by the Company, are recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding increase in additional

CHANGES IN SHAREHOLDINGS OF SUBSIDIARIES

CHANGES IN SHAREHOLDINGS OF SUBSIDIARIES

The Philippine subsidiaries

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, only those shareholders of MRP who originally owned 500,000 MRP common shares with a par value of PHP1 (equivalent to $0.02)

per share (each an “Original Share”) and in multiples thereof immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split would now own whole shares (each a “MRP Whole Share”) of stock of MRP. Other holders of the Original Shares could now only hold a fractional share of MRP (“MRP Fractional Share”). To facilitate the elimination of MRP Fractional Shares held by other shareholders of MRP, MPHIL Corporation (“MPHIL”), a subsidiary of Melco, offered to purchase the resulting MRP Fractional Shares at the purchase price to be calculated by multiplying the number of Original Shares represented by the relevant MRP Fractional Shares (which were equal to the number of Original Shares held by the relevant shareholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split) by the price

of PHP7.25 (equivalent to $0.14) per Original Share (“Fractional Share Elimination Plan”). A shareholder could also sell any MRP Whole Shares to MPHIL under the Fractional Share Elimination Plan. Any holder of MRP Fractional Shares and/or MRP Whole Shares may accept this offer during the

two-year

period commencing from June 5, 2020. The Fractional Share Elimination Plan expired on June 4, 2022 and was subsequently extended for the period from August 15, 2022 to November 15, 2022.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company through its subsidiaries, purchased 10.111, 50.906 and 123.103 common shares of MRP at a total consideration of PHP36,651 (equivalent to $671), PHP175,173 (equivalent to $

3,310

) and PHP440,032 (equivalent to $

8,518

) from the noncontrolling interests, which increased Melco’s shareholding in MRP and the Company recognized a decrease of $582, $2,952 and $6,951 in Melco’s additional

paid-in

capital which reflected the adjustment to the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest in MRP, respectively.

The Company retains its controlling financial interests in MRP before and after the above transactions.

Studio City International

During February and March 2022, Studio City International, respectively, announced and completed a series of private offers of its 400,000,000 Class A ordinary shares to certain existing shareholders and holders of its ADSs, including Melco, with gross proceeds amounting to $300,000, of which $134,944 was from noncontrolling interests (the “2022 Private Placements”). The 2022 Private Placements increased Melco’s shareholding in Studio City International and the Company recognized an increase of $879 in Melco’s additional

paid-in

capital which reflected the adjustment to the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest in Studio City International.

The Company retains its controlling financial interest in Studio City International before and after the above transactions.

The schedule below discloses the effects of changes in Melco’s ownership interest in MRP and Studio City International on its equity:

SCHEDULE 1 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF PARENT COMPANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE 1

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF PARENT COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE 1

(In thousands)

Schedule 1 has been provided pursuant to the requirements of Rule

12-04(a)

and

4-08(e)(3)

of Regulation

S-X,

which require condensed financial information as to financial position, cash flows and results and operations of a parent company as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements have been presented when the restricted net assets of the consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries together exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $740,000

of the restricted net assets were not available for distribution and as such, the condensed financial information of

Melco

has been presented for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Melco

received no cash dividends from its subsidiary during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

2.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in Melco’s consolidated financial statements except that the parent company has used the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries. For the parent company, the Company records its investments in subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Such investments are presented on the Condensed Balance Sheets as ‘‘Investments in subsidiaries” or “Investments deficit in subsidiaries” and the subsidiaries’ profit or loss as ‘‘Share of results of subsidiaries” on the Condensed Statements of Operations. Ordinarily, an investor in an equity method investee would cease to recognize its share of the losses of an investee once the carrying value of the investment has been reduced to nil absent an undertaking by the investor to provide continuing support and fund losses. For the purpose of this Schedule 1, the parent company has continued to reflect its share, based on its proportionate interest, of the losses of subsidiaries regardless of the carrying value of the investment even though the parent company is not obligated to provide continuing support or fund losses.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a)

Capital Commitments

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had capital commitments mainly for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment for Studio City and City of Dreams totaling

$51,938.

(b)

Other Commitments

Concession - Macau

Under the Concession awarded by the Macau government to Melco Resorts Macau on December 16, 2022, in addition to the fixed premium and variable premiums, as well as the Fee (see Note 7), Melco Resorts Macau is obligated to pay the Macau government the following:

A special gaming tax of an amount equal to 35% of gross gaming revenue on a monthly basis.

ii)

Contributions of 2% and 3%

of gross gaming revenue to a public fund, and to urban development, touristic promotion and social security, respectively, on a monthly basis. These contributions may be waived or reduced with respect to gross gaming revenue generated by foreign patrons under certain circumstances.

iii)

A special premium in the event the average gross gaming revenue of Melco Resorts Macau’s gaming tables does not reach the annual minimum of MOP7,000 (equivalent to $870) and the average gross gaming revenue of the electronic gaming machines does not reach the annual minimum of MOP300 (equivalent to $37). The amount of the special premium is equivalent to the difference between the amount of the special gaming tax paid by Melco Resorts Macau and the amount that would be paid under the annual minimum set average gross gaming revenue for gaming tables and electronic gaming machines.

iv)

Melco Resorts Macau must maintain a guarantee issued by a Macau bank in favor of the Macau government in the amount of MOP1,000,000 (equivalent to $124,284) until 180 days after the earlier of the expiration

termination of the Concession to guarantee its performance of certain of its legal and contractual obligations, including labor obligations.

As a result of the bank guarantee issued by the bank to the Macau government as disclosed above, a sum of 0.03% per annum of the guarantee amount is payable by Melco Resorts Macau to the bank.

Committed

Investment

In connection with the Concession, Melco Resorts Macau has undertaken to carry out investment in the overall amount of MOP11,823,700 (equivalent to $1,469,491) by December 2032. The investment plan includes gaming and

non-gaming

related projects in the expansion of foreign market patrons, conventions and exhibitions, entertainment shows, sports events, art and culture, health and well-being, thematic entertainment, gastronomy, community and maritime tourism and others. Out of the total investment amount referred to above, MOP10,008,000 (equivalent to $1,243,829) is to be applied to

non-gaming

related projects, with the balance applied to gaming related projects. Melco Resorts Macau has undertaken to carry out incremental additional

non-gaming

investment in the amount of approximately 20% of its initial

non-gaming

investment, or MOP2,003,000 (equivalent to $248,940), in the event the Macau’s annual gross gaming revenue reaches MOP180,000,000 (equivalent to $22,371,034) (the “Incremental Investment Trigger”). As Macau’s annual gross gaming revenue exceeded MOP180,000,000 (equivalent to $22,371,034) in 2023, the Incremental Investment

Trigger was reached and, the non-gaming investment to be carried out was increased by

MOP2,003,000 (equivalent to $248,940) to MOP12,011,000 (equivalent to $1,492,769), with the overall investment amount increased to MOP13,826,700 (equivalent to $1,718,431) to be carried out by December 2032.

On July 24, 2023, a settlement deed was entered into for full and final settlement of all outstanding claims in respect of such proceedings.

Recent Developments Related to Business Operations and

COVID-19

The Company completed construction of its Studio City Phase 2 expansion before the extended deadline of June 30, 2023 for the development period under the Studio City land concession. The first stage of Studio City Phase 2 was opened in April 2023 while the second stage was opened in September 2023.

City of Dreams Mediterranean commenced operations before the extended deadline of June 30, 2023 under the terms of the gaming license. Since the opening, City of Dreams Mediterranean has been impacted by, amongst other things, the Israel-Hamas military conflict. This, together with the on-going military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and restrictions on the ability to accept certain customers from Russia, continues to have a negative impact on the Company’s business and may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business in Cyprus.

While the Company’s business continues to recover from the impact of, and disruptions caused by,

COVID-19,

the pace of recovery of the Company’s business from COVID-19 could vary materially from current estimates and could materially affect the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the financial impact on its future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition from various disruptions.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company

had

cash and cash equivalents of $1,310,715 and available unused borrowing capacity of $920,710, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.

The Company continues to take cash preservation measures such as implementing cost reduction programs to minimize cash outflows for

non-essential

items, rationalizing the Company’s capital expenditure programs with deferrals and reductions.

The Company believes it is able to support continuing operations and capital expenditures for at least twelve months after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair values into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurements in its entirety is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:

•

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

•

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The carrying values of cash equivalents, bank time deposits included in restricted cash, long-term deposits, long-term receivables and other long-term liabilities approximated fair values and were classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value as of December 31, 2023 adopted for the long-lived assets impairment of Altira Macau as described in Note 2(m) were estimated by using level 3 inputs based on a combination of income and cost approaches.

The fair values as of December 31, 2022 adopted in impairment assessments of an aircraft and a piece of freehold land classified as assets held for sale were estimated by using level 2 and level 3 inputs, respectively. Details are disclosed in Note 2(m) and Note 5.

The estimated fair values of long-term debt as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, were approximately $6,975,901 and $7,341,910, respectively, as compared to their carrying values, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue premiums, of $7,499,771 and $8,449,459, respectively.

Fair values were estimated using quoted market prices and were classified as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy for the 2017

Fair values for the 2015 Credit Facilities, the 2020 Credit Facilities and the 2016 Studio City Credit Facilities approximated their carrying values as the instruments carried variable interest rates that approximated the market rates and were classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any

non-financial

assets or liabilities that were recognized or disclosed at fair value in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

5.	ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In September 2021, the Company announced the discontinuance of its pursuit of a Yokohama integrated resort development in Japan. In December 2021, an external advisor was engaged to locate potential buyers and prepare marketing materials for the disposal of the Company’s assets in Japan, including a ski resort in Nagano, Japan operated by Kabushiki Kaisha Okushiga Kogen Resort (the “Japan Ski Resort”) and a parcel of freehold land together with the accompanying building structures in Hakone, Japan (the “Hakone Assets”). After considering the relevant facts, the Company concluded the assets and liabilities of the Japan Ski Resort and the Hakone Assets met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of December 31, 2021 which were reported under the Corporate and Other segment.

On December 8, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent third party (the “Buyer”) to dispose of its entire interest in the Japan Ski Resort with net liabilities of

$13,663

(including a loan payable to the Company of Japanese Yen (“JPY”) 2,215,180 (equivalent to $16,876)) for a consideration of JPY0.001; and to transfer the loan receivable from the Japan Ski Resort as mentioned

above of JPY

2,215,180

(equivalent to $

16,876)

to the Buyer for a consideration of JPY

0.001

. The disposal was completed on December

2022

and the Company recorded a loss on disposal of assets held for sale of $

3,106

which is included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December

2022

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Hakone Assets classified as assets held for sale were comprised of property and equipment, with

aggregate

carrying values of $8,503 and $17,705, respectively. Due to a significant decrease in the market value of the freehold land included in the Hakone Assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, an impairment

assets held for sale of $6,794 and an impairment

property and equipment of $1,147

were

provided and included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair value of the freehold land was calculated by using level 3 inputs based on the market approach.

On July 12, 2023, the Company completed the disposal of the Hakone Assets, with aggregate carrying values of

$7,924,

to an independent third party at a consideration of JPY

2,144,000 (equivalent to $15,222).

A gain on disposal of assets held for sale, net of the foreign currency translations of certain entities incorporated in Japan being considered as a substantial liquidation, of

$4,468

was recorded and included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023.

In June and August 2022, the Company signed two sale and purchase agreements with respective buyers to sell two aircraft (the “Aircraft”) with an aggregate selling price of

15,800

After

considering the relevant facts, the Company concluded the Aircraft met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale which were reported under the Corporate and Other segment. Due to a decrease in the market value, an impairment of property and equipment

3,595

was

provided for one of the Aircraft. Upon completion of the disposals of the Aircraft in September 2022, the Company recorded a gain on disposal of assets held for sale

2,629

the Aircraft. The impairment and gain on disposal of assets held for sale were both included in property charges and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Conces

On December 16, 2022, the Macau government awarded the Concession to Melco Resorts Macau. The term of the Concession commenced on January 1, 2023 and ends on December 31, 2032 and Melco Resorts Macau is authorized to operate the Altira Casino, the City of Dreams Casino and the Studio City Casino as well as the Grand Dragon Casino and the Mocha Clubs. Under the Concession, Melco Resorts Macau is obligated to pay the Macau government a fixed annual premium of MOP30,000 (equivalent to $3,729) plus a variable annual premium calculated in accordance with the number and type of gaming tables (subject to a minimum of 500 tables) and electronic gaming machines (subject to a minimum of 1,000 machines) operated by Melco Resorts Macau. The variable annual premium is MOP300

(equivalent to $37) for each gaming table reserved exclusively to certain kinds of games or players, MOP150 (equivalent to $19) for each gaming table not so exclusively reserved and MOP1 (equivalent to $0.1) for each electronic gaming machine.

On December 30, 2022, in accordance with the obligations under the letters of undertakings dated June 23, 2022, Melco Resorts Macau and certain subsidiaries of Melco, which hold the land lease rights for the properties on which the Altira Casino, City of Dreams Casino and Studio City Casino are located, executed a public deed pursuant to which the gaming and gaming support areas comprising the Altira Casino, City of Dreams Casino and Studio City Casino with an area of 17,128.8 square meters, 31,227.3 square meters and 28,784.3

square meters, respectively, and related gaming equipment and utensils (collectively referred to

the “Reversion Assets”), reverted to the Macau government, without compensation and free and clear from any charges or encumbrances, at the expiration of the previous gaming subconcession in accordance with the Macau gaming law. The Reversion Assets that reverted to the Macau government at the expiration of the previous gaming subconcession are currently owned by the Macau government. Under the terms of the Macau gaming law and the Concession, effective as of January 1, 2023, the Reversion Assets were transferred by the Macau government to Melco Resorts Macau for use in its operations during the Concession for a fee of MOP

0.75 (equivalent to $0.09) per square meter of the casino for years 1 to 3 of the Concession, subject to a consumer price index increase in years 2 and 3 of the Concession and such fee will increase to MOP2.5 (equivalent to $0.3) per square meter of the casino for years 4 to 10 of the Concession, subject to a consumer price index increase in years 5 to 10 of the Concession (the “Fee”).

On January 1, 2023, the Company recognized an intangible asset and financial liability of MOP1,934,035 (equivalent to $239,588),

representing the right to use and operate the Reversion Assets, the right to conduct games of fortunes and chance in Macau and the unconditional obligation to make payments under the Concession. This intangible asset comprises the contractually obligated annual payments of fixed premium and variable premiums, as well as the Fee without considering the consumer price index under the Concession. The contractually obligated annual variable premium payments associated with the intangible asset were determined using the total number of gaming tables and the total number of electronic gaming machines that Melco Resorts Macau is currently approved to operate by the Macau government. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the non-current portion of the financial liability of the Concession is included in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the Concession, being

Cyprus License

On June 26, 2017, the Cyprus government granted a gaming license (the “Cyprus License”) to a subsidiary of ICR Cyprus (the “Cyprus Subsidiary”) to develop, operate and maintain an integrated casino resort in Limassol, Cyprus (and, up until completion and opening of

City of Dreams Mediterranean

, a temporary casino facility) and up to four satellite casino premises in Cyprus for a term of 30 years, the first 15 years of which are exclusive. Pursuant to the Cyprus License agreement, the Cyprus Subsidiary is obligated to pay the Cyprus government an annual license fee for

the integrated casino resort (and prior to opening of

City of Dreams Mediterranean

, the temporary casino) and any operating satellite casinos (the “Cyprus License Fee”). The annual license fee

for the integrated casino resort

is EUR2,500 (equivalent to $2,767) for the first four

years, and EUR5,000 (equivalent to $5,535) for the next four years. Upon the completion of the

first

eight years and thereafter every four years during the term of the Cyprus License, the Cyprus government may review the annual license fee, with minimum of EUR5,000 (equivalent to $5,535) per year and any increase in the annual license fee may not exceed 20% of the annual license fee paid annually during the previous four-year period. The Cyprus License required

City of Dreams Mediterranean

to open by the extended deadline of June 30, 2023 as approved by the Cyprus government (the “Cyprus License Requirement”), failing which the Cyprus government would have been entitled to terminate the Cyprus License.

On June 28, 2023, upon fulfillment of the Cyprus License Requirement,

to better reflect the future economic benefits arising from the Cyprus License,

the Company recognized an intangible asset of EUR68,031 (equivalent to $73,928) and financial liability of EUR67,231 (equivalent to $73,059), representing the right under the Cyprus License and the unconditional obligation to pay i) a minimum annual license fee for City of Dreams Mediterranean of EUR5,000 (equivalent to $5,535) per year; and ii) an aggregate annual license fee for three operating satellite casinos of EUR2,000 (equivalent to $2,214),

during the term of the Cyprus License from June 28, 2023. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the non-current portion of the financial liability of the Cyprus License is included in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of the Cyprus License until June 2047.

Prior to the fulfillment of the Cyprus License Requirement, the Cyprus License Fee was expensed as incurred and included in gaming taxes and license fees as disclosed in Note 2(r).

The deemed cost of the previous gaming subconcession in Macau was capitalized based on the fair value of the gaming subconcession agreement as of the date of acquisition of Melco Resorts Macau in 2006, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which expired

on June 26, 2022. Melco Resorts Macau paid a premium of MOP47,000 (equivalent to $5,815) to the Macau government in June 2022 for the extension of the gaming subconcession contract to December 31, 2022 and such premium was amortized on a straight-line basis from June 27, 2022 to the extended expiration date on December 31, 2022.

The amortization expenses of finite-lived intangible assets recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $37,216, $44,128 and $68,831, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, the estimated future amortization expenses of finite-lived intangible assets are as follows:

Melco and certain of its subsidiaries are exempt from tax in the Cayman Islands or British Virgin Islands, where they are incorporated, while Melco is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on profits from its activities conducted in Hong Kong. Certain subsidiaries incorporated or conducting businesses in Macau, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Cyprus and other jurisdictions are subject to Macau Complementary Tax, Hong Kong Profits Tax, Philippine Corporate Income Tax, Cyprus Corporate Income Tax and income tax in other jurisdictions, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Macau Complementary Tax, Hong Kong Profits Tax, Cyprus Corporate Income Tax and income tax in other jurisdictions have been provided at 12%, 16.5%, 12.5%

and the respective tax rates in other jurisdictions, on the estimated taxable income earned in or derived from the respective jurisdictions,

respectively,

during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, if applicable.

On March 26, 2021, in the Philippines, the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (“CREATE”) took effect on April 11, 2021. CREATE reduced the minimum corporate income tax in the Philippines from 2% to 1%

for the period from

July 1, 2020

June 30, 2023 and the corporate income tax rate in the Philippines from 30% to 25% starting July 1, 2020.

Pursuant to the approval notice issued by the Macau government in September 2016, Melco Resorts Macau was granted an extension of the Macau Complementary Tax exemption on profits generated from gaming operations for an additional five years from 2017 to 2021. Studio City Entertainment Limited (“Studio City Entertainment”), a subsidiary of Melco, was also exempted from Macau Complementary Tax on profits generated from income received from Melco Resorts Macau for an additional five years from 2017 to 2021, to the extent that such income

was

derived from Studio City gaming operations and had been subject to

gaming tax pursuant to a notice issued by the Macau government in January 2017. The exemption coincided with Melco Resorts Macau’s exemption from Macau Complementary Tax. Pursuant to Dispatch of the Macau Chief Executive dated February 17, 2022 and September 1, 2022, Melco Resorts Macau was granted an extension of the Macau Complementary Tax exemption on profits generated from gaming operations under the previous gaming subconcession for the period from January 1, 2022 to June 26, 2022 and from June 27, 2022 to December 31, 2022, respectively. Melco Resorts Macau continues to benefit from the Macau Complementary Tax exemption on profits generated from gaming operations under the Concession for the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2027 pursuant to a Dispatch of the Macau Chief Executive dated January 29, 2024. Studio City Entertainment applied for an extension of the Macau Complementary Tax exemption for 2022 and for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2027. These applications are subject to the discretionary approval of the Macau government. The

non-gaming

profits and dividend distributions of Studio City Entertainment to its shareholders continue to be subject to the Macau Complementary Tax. Melco Resorts Macau’s

non-gaming

profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino revenues remain subject to the Macau special gaming tax and other levies in accordance with the Concession effective on January 1, 2023.

The gaming operations of Melco Resorts Leisure, the operator of City of Dreams Manila, are exempt from Philippine Corporate Income Tax, among other taxes, pursuant to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (“PAGCOR”) charter and are subject to license fees which are inclusive of the 5% franchise tax based on gross gaming revenue in the Philippines, in lieu of all other taxes.

Had

Melco Resorts Macau and Melco Resorts Leisure not

have been entitled to

the income tax exemption on profits generated by gaming operations

for the year ended December 31, 2023

in Macau and the Philippines,

respectively, and if Studio City Entertainment’s application for the extended exemption from Macau Complementary Tax on profits generated from income received from Melco Resorts Macau will not be approved,

the Company’s consolidated net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the year ended December 31, 2023 would have been increased by $75,190 and diluted loss per share would have been increased by $0.057 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Melco Resorts Macau and Studio City Entertainment in Macau did not have any profits generated by gaming operations exempted from Macau Complementary Tax, while had Melco Resorts Leisure not received the income tax exemption on profits generated by gaming operations in the Philippines, the Company’s consolidated net loss attributable to Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have been increased by $25,252 and $10,688, and diluted loss per share would have been increased by $0.018 and $0.007 per share, respectively.

In August 2017, Melco Resorts Macau received an extension of the agreement with the Macau government for an additional five years applicable to tax years 2017 through 2021, in which the extension agreement provided for an annual payment of MOP18,900 (equivalent to $2,342) as payments in lieu of Macau Complementary Tax

which would

otherwise

be borne

by the shareholders of Melco Resorts Macau on dividend distributions from gaming profits

(“Payments in lieu of Macau Complementary Tax on Dividend Distributions”).

Such annual payment was required regardless of whether dividends were actually distributed or whether Melco Resorts Macau had distributable profits in the relevant year. In December 2022 and March 2023, Melco Resorts Macau received extensions of the agreements with the Macau government for an amount of MOP4,000 (equivalent to $497) and MOP4,167 (equivalent to $518)

as Payments in lieu of Macau Complementary Tax on Dividend Distributions for the period from January 1, 2022 to June 26, 2022 and from June 27, 2022 to December 31, 2022, respectively. In February 2024, Melco Resorts Macau entered into an agreement with the Macau government in relation to the Payments in lieu of

Macau Complementary Tax on Dividend Distributions from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025

. During the year ended December 31, 2023, an estimated amount of

$5,650

was provided for such arrangement.

The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were (3.34

)

%, (0.48)% and (0.30)%, respectively. Such rates differ from the statutory Macau Complementary Tax rate of 12%,

where the majority of the Company’s operations are located, primarily due to the effects of expired tax losses, expenses for which no income tax benefit is receivable, income for which no income tax expense is payable, changes in valuation allowances, profits generated by gaming operations being exempted from Philippine Corporate Income Tax and different tax rates of subsidiaries operating in other jurisdictions for the relevant years together with the effect of profits generated by gaming operations being exempted from Macau Complementary Tax for the year ended December 31, 2023; the effect of tax losses that cannot be carried forward for the year ended December 31, 2022; and the effects of tax losses that cannot be carried forward and change in income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The net deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:


	December 31,
	2023			2022
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating losses carried forward	$	205,189		$	206,079
Depreciation and amortization		157,667			76,272
Lease liabilities		29,277			30,492
Others		16,936			13,052

Sub-total		409,069			325,895
Valuation allowances		(374,623	)		(299,620	)

Total deferred tax assets		34,446			26,275

Deferred tax liabilities:
Right-of-use assets		(9,471	)		(10,413	)
Land use rights		(36,513	)		(44,434	)
Intangible assets		(9,718	)		(505	)
Unrealized capital allowances		(4,405	)		(4,279	)
Others		(9,298	)		(5,683	)

Total deferred tax liabilities		(69,405	)		(65,314	)

Deferred tax liabilities, net	$	(34,959	)	$	(39,039	)

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, valuation allowances of $374,623 and $299,620 were provided, respectively, as management believes it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2023, adjusted operating tax losses carried forward of $10,048 have no expiry date and the remaining tax losses amounting to $1,380,467 will expire by 2024 through 2033. Adjusted operating tax losses carried forward of $448,834 expired during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Deferred tax, where applicable, is provided under the asset and liability method at the enacted statutory income tax rate of the respective tax jurisdictions, applicable to the respective financial years, on the difference between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and income tax base of assets and liabilities.

Aggregate undistributed earnings of certain of Melco’s foreign subsidiaries available for distribution to Melco of approximately $745,694 and $745,425

as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no provision has been made for the dividend withholding taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of those amounts to Melco. If those earnings were to be distributed or they were determined to be no longer permanently reinvested, Melco would have to record a deferred income tax liability in respect of those undistributed earnings of approximately

$89,483 and $89,449 as

December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is presented as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2023			2022			2021

At beginning of year	$	22,940		$	16,342		$	15,132
Additions based on tax positions related to current year		756			6,810			2,028
Additions based on tax positions related to prior year		4,984			—			—
Reductions due to expiry of the statute of limitations		(1,348	)		(212	)		(818	)

At end of year	$	27,332		$	22,940		$	16,342

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate

were

$27,332 and $22,940 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Melco and its subsidiaries’ major tax jurisdictions are Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines and Cyprus. Income tax returns of Melco and its subsidiaries remain open and subject to examination by the local tax authorities of Macau, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Cyprus until the statute of limitations expire in each corresponding jurisdiction. The statute of limitations in Macau, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Cyprus are five years, six years, three years and six years, respectively.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
