NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 11 smaller gaming 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 September 30, 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.

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:


	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
	Units	Ownership %		Units	Ownership %

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 September 30, 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 been substantially resolved.

The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at September 30, 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. In May 2024, the Superior Court of California granted Picayune’s motion for summary judgment and denied the Mono’s motion for summary judgment. Picayune has appealed the grant of the State of California’s demurrer and the Mono have appealed the grant of Picayune’s motion for summary judgment. The appeals have been consolidated and the briefing of the appeals is scheduled to be completed by May 1, 2025.

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 September 30, 2024, the Company has paid approximately $76.8 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 September 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the advances was $61.7 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. Site work in anticipation of construction commencement has started on the site of the North Fork Project. The Company currently estimates that the North Fork Project will be completed and opened for business in approximately 18 to 20 months. The Company expects to assist the Mono in obtaining financing for the North Fork Project.

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 September 30, 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:


	Revolving Credit Facility due March 14, 2029
Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio	SOFR		Base Rate
Greater than 3.00 to 1.00	1.75	%	0.75	%

RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.

(UNAUDITED)

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 September 30, 2024.

Revolving Credit Facility

At September 30, 2024, Station LLC’s borrowing availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the facility, was $869.2 million, which was net of $185.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $45.8 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 is paid every six months in arrears on March 15 and September 15, which commenced 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.

6. Derivative Instruments

The Company’s objective in using derivative instruments is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements associated with its variable interest rate debt. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate contracts as a primary part of its cash flow hedging strategy. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

On April 9, 2024, Station LLC entered into two zero cost interest rate collar agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million. Both interest rate collars became effective in April 2024 and include a Term SOFR cap of 5.25% and a weighted average Term SOFR floor of 2.89% and will mature in April 2029. Monthly cash settlements are received from or paid to the counterparties when interest rates rise above or fall below the contractual cap or floor rates. The interest rate collars are not designated in hedging relationships for accounting purposes.

The Company records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value, which it determines using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The Company does not offset derivative asset and liability positions when interest rate contracts are held with the same counterparty.

As the Company’s derivative instruments are not designated in hedging relationships, the changes in fair value and the related pretax gains and losses are recognized in Change in fair value of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which the change occurs. The Company recognizes cash settlements received or paid, if any, on the derivative instruments within Change in fair value of derivative instruments and classifies such cash flows within investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Station LLC has not posted any collateral related to its interest rate collars; however, its obligations under the interest rate collars are subject to the security and guarantee arrangements applicable to the Credit Facility. The interest rate collar agreements contain cross-default provisions under which Station LLC could be declared in default on its obligations under such agreements if certain conditions of default exist on the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2024, the aggregate termination value of the interest rate collars, including accrued interest, but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was a liability of $12.2 million. Had Station LLC been in breach of the provisions of its interest rate collar agreements, it could have been required to pay the termination value to settle the obligations.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $6.7 million and $24.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $4.4 million and $14.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024, unrecognized share-based compensation cost was $54.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

10. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 12.7% and 11.4%, respectively, as compared to 11.9% and 10.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 has recorded deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and other tax attributes, as applicable.

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.

Under the 2017 U.S. federal tax year examination, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) previously issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment in relation to the 2017 land lease deduction. During the second quarter of 2024, Station Holdco held its appeals conference with the IRS. As a result of the preliminary appeals conference, the Company recorded a current unrecognized tax benefit liability and deferred tax asset associated with the land lease deduction. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company came to a tentative agreement with the IRS and made a deposit equal to the amount the Company expects to owe. No net liability remains on the balance sheet.

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 September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 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.

(UNAUDITED)

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.

11. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below (amounts in thousands):

12. 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.

13. 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.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

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 11 smaller gaming 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 September 30, 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 September 2024, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 5.9% as compared to 5.7% in September 2023. Statewide, the unemployment rate for September 2024 was 5.6% as compared to 5.4% in September 2023. In September 2024, the median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas according to the Las Vegas Realtors® was $479,900, up 6.6% from $450,000 in September 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 strong 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.
