The preliminary expectations of financial results of Wynn Resorts, Limited are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States ("US GAAP"). Accordingly, the preliminary expectations of financial results contained in the Preliminary Release, including those of our Company, were also prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which are different from the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") that we use to prepare and present our financial information. As such, the financial information prepared by Wynn Resorts, Limited is not directly comparable to the financial information our Company discloses as a company listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. In particular, Average Daily Rate ("ADR") and Revenue Per Available Room ("REVPAR") as presented in the Preliminary Release are based on room revenues as reported under US GAAP, which include associated promotional allowances within room revenues. Under US GAAP, promotional allowances are deducted from gross revenues in presenting net revenues. Under IFRS, room revenues exclude such promotional allowances.

Our shareholders and potential investors are advised that the financial information in the Preliminary Release is preliminary expectations derived from estimates and calculations made by Wynn Resorts, Limited. The financial information has not been audited or reviewed by certified public accountants. The financial results in the Preliminary Release have not been prepared or presented by our Company or our board of directors and there is no indication or assurance from our Company that the financial results of our Company and its subsidiaries for the first quarter ended 31 March 2016 will be the same as those presented in the Preliminary Release.

"Wynn Resorts, Limited Announces Preliminary First Quarter 2016 Results

Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq: WYNN) announced preliminary expectations of its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. The results in this release are preliminary and subject to the completion of the final financial statements, including the review of those financial statements by the Company's internal accounting professionals, audit committee and independent registered public accounting firm.

Macau Operations

In the first quarter of 2016, net revenues are expected to be in the range of $603 million to

$613 million, compared to $705.4 million generated in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted property EBITDA (1) is expected to be in the range of $187 million to $195 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $212.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Forward-looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements regarding operating trends and our expected results of operations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those we express in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our dependence on existing management, results of regulatory or enforcement actions and probity investigations, pending or future legal proceedings, uncertainties over the development and success of new gaming and resort properties, adverse tourism trends, general global macroeconomic conditions, changes in gaming laws or regulations, volatility and weakness in world-wide credit and financial markets, and our substantial indebtedness and leverage. Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the Company's other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or revise its forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1) "Adjusted property EBITDA" is net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other, intercompany golf course and water rights leases, stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, change in interest rate swap fair value, change in Redemption Note fair value and other non-operating income and expenses, and includes equity in income from unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses adjusted property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors. The Company also presents adjusted property EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including Wynn Resorts, Limited, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, adjusted property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, adjusted property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in adjusted property EBITDA. Also, Wynn Resorts' calculation of adjusted property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
