Financial Position

"We continue to focus on improving MGM Resorts' balance sheet, having reduced total debt by $2.3 billion since the beginning of the year, including the repayment of the $875 million senior notes that matured in July," said Dan D'Arrigo, Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer of MGM Resorts International. "During the second quarter, MGM China strengthened its financial flexibility by increasing its senior credit facility from $2 billion to $3 billion. This facility, along with MGM China's free cash flow, has allowed it to continue to invest in its existing operations as well as future growth opportunities, while at the same time returning value to its shareholders."

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and cash deposits at June 30, 2015 was $2.5 billion, which included $522 million at MGM China. At June 30, 2015, the Company had $2.7 billion of borrowings outstanding under its $3.9 billion senior secured credit facility and $1.2 billion outstanding under the $3.0 billion MGM China credit facility. On April 15, 2015, 99.97% of the Company's $1.45 billion 4.25% convertible senior notes were converted into approximately 72 million shares of the Company's common stock, net of shares received upon settlement of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of such notes. In June 2015, MGM China amended and restated its senior credit facility which increased its total capacity to $3.0 billion and extended the term for an eighteen month period ending in April 2019.

1 REVPAR is hotel revenue per available room.

2 "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening and start-up expenses and property transactions, net. "Adjusted Property EBITDA" is Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expense and stock compensation expense related to the MGM Resorts stock option plan, which is not allocated to each property. MGM China recognizes stock compensation expense related to its stock compensation plan which is included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for MGM China. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA information is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported GAAP measures because management believes these measures are 1) widely used measures of operating performance in the gaming industry, and 2) a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies.

Management believes that while items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Property EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of the Company's earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods being presented. Also, management believes excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results. For example, preopening and start-up expenses will be significantly different in periods when the Company is developing and constructing a major expansion project and will depend on where the current period lies within the development cycle, as well as the size and scope of the project(s). Property transactions, net includes normal recurring disposals, gains and losses on sales of assets related to specific assets within the Company's resorts, but also includes gains or losses on sales of an entire operating resort or a group of resorts and impairment charges on entire asset groups or investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which may not be comparable period over period.

In addition, capital allocation, tax planning, financing and stock compensation awards are all managed at the corporate level. Therefore, management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as the primary measure of the Company's operating resorts' performance.

Reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP operating income (loss) to Adjusted Property EBITDA are included in the financial schedules in this release.
