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 September 2015 to manage and own an equity interest in Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”). In May 2016, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and used the proceeds to purchase newly issued limited liability company interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such units, the “LLC Units”), and outstanding LLC Units from existing members of Station Holdco. The Company owns all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and has an indirect interest in Station LLC through its ownership interest in Station Holdco, which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. Station LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, is a gaming, development and management company that owns and operates ten major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casino properties ( three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. Station LLC also manages a casino in Sonoma County, California and a casino in Allegan County, Michigan, both on behalf of Native American tribes.

At March 31, 2017 , the Company held approximately 57% of the economic interests in Station Holdco as well as 100% of the voting interest in Station LLC and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and was 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. The Company is a subchapter C corporation subject to federal income taxes and state income taxes in California and Michigan.

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 (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. 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 consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Principles of Consolidation

Station Holdco and Station LLC are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), 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 interest in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of Station Holdco and Station LLC, other than assets and liabilities related to income taxes and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement. For periods prior to the Company’s IPO in May 2016, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial statements of Station Holdco, the Company’s predecessor for accounting purposes. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The amounts shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of MPM Enterprises, LLC (“MPM”), which is a 50% owned, consolidated VIE that manages Gun Lake Casino. The financial position and results of operations attributable to third party holdings of MPM are reported within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company consolidates MPM because it directs the activities of MPM that most significantly impact MPM’s economic performance and has the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses that are significant to MPM, and as such, is MPM’s primary beneficiary. The assets of MPM reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included a management contract intangible asset with a carrying amount of $9.0 million and $11.5 million , respectively, and management fees receivable of $4.6 million and $3.3 million , respectively. MPM’s assets may be used only to settle MPM’s obligations, and MPM’s beneficial interest holders have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

The Company has various other investments in 50% owned joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method, including three 50% owned smaller casino properties. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in one of the

(UNAUDITED)

smaller casino properties has been reduced below zero and is presented as a deficit investment balance on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the Company has received distributions in excess of its investment in the casino. The Company also holds a 50% investment in a restaurant at one of its properties which is considered to be a VIE, of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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, 2016 .

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended accounting guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The amended guidance removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Under the new guidance, a goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations and anticipates early adoption in 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance that changes the accounting for leases and requires expanded disclosures about leasing activities. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, at the commencement date for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged, other than certain targeted improvements intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for revenue recognition which requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard supersedes the existing accounting guidance for revenue recognition, including industry-specific guidance, and amends certain accounting guidance for recognition of gains and losses on the transfer of non-financial assets. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Upon adoption, financial statement issuers may elect to apply the new standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or using a modified retrospective approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and is currently assessing which adoption method it will elect. Under the new standard, the current presentation of gross revenues for complementary goods and services provided to guests with a corresponding offsetting amount included in promotional allowances will be eliminated. In addition, the Company will be required to recognize a liability for the retail value of its performance obligations for points earned by guests under the Company’s player rewards program (“Rewards Program”). Currently, the Company records a liability and a charge to casino expense for the estimated cost of outstanding points earned under the Rewards Program that management believes ultimately will be redeemed. Upon adoption, the Company’s liability for performance obligations under the Rewards Program is expected to be recognized primarily as a reduction to casino revenue. When points are redeemed, revenues and expenses will be recognized and classified based on the goods and services provided and the associated liability will be relieved. The Company is currently evaluating the quantitative effects of the new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

3 . Native American Development

Following is information about the Company’s Native American development activities.

North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indian Tribe

The Company has development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (the “Mono”), a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, which were originally entered into in 2003. In August 2014, the Mono and the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to those agreements, the Company will assist the Mono in developing and operating a gaming and entertainment facility (the “North Fork Project”) to be located in Madera County, California. 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 slot machines, approximately 40 table games and several restaurants, and the cost of the project is expected to be between $250 million and $300 million . Development of the North Fork Project is subject to certain governmental and regulatory approvals, including, but not limited to, approval of the Management Agreement by the Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”).

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. The Company will contribute significant financial support to the North Fork Project. Through March 31, 2017 , the Company has paid approximately $30.6 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 advances are expected to be repaid from the proceeds of third-party financing or from the Mono’s gaming revenues; however, there can be no assurance that the advances will be repaid. The carrying amount of the advances was reduced to fair value upon the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting in 2011. At March 31, 2017 , the carrying amount of the advances was $15.5 million . 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 Company will receive a development fee of 4% of the costs of construction (as defined in the Development Agreement) for its development services, which will be paid upon the commencement of gaming operations at the facility. The Management Agreement allows the Company to receive a management fee of 40% of the North Fork Project’s net income. The Management Agreement and the Development Agreement have 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 the Management Agreement 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.

Upon termination or expiration of the Management Agreement and Development Agreement, the Mono will continue to be obligated to repay any unpaid principal and interest on the advances from the Company, as well as certain other amounts

that may be due, such as management fees. 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, the Development Agreement and Management Agreement contain 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 this type of project is difficult to predict and is dependent upon the receipt of the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance as to when, or if, these approvals will be obtained. The Company currently estimates that construction of the North Fork Project may begin in the next 36 to 48 months and estimates that the North Fork Project would be completed and opened for business approximately 18 months after construction begins. There can be no assurance, however, that the North Fork Project will be completed and opened within this time frame or at all. The Company expects to assist the Mono in obtaining third-party financing for the North Fork Project once all necessary regulatory approvals have been received and prior to commencement of construction; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing for the North Fork Project on acceptable terms or at all.

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 65% to 75% at March 31, 2017 . 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 all milestones and the successful resolution of all litigation and contingencies. There can be no assurance 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.

The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at March 31, 2017 of each of the critical milestones necessary to complete the North Fork Project.



	As of March 31, 2017
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 (see North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians v. State of California) 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 the 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 Management Agreement. Approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC is expected to occur following the Mono’s response to the deficiency letter. The Company believes the Management Agreement will be approved because the terms and conditions thereof are consistent with the provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
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 with the City and County were amended in December 2016 to restructure the timing of certain payments due to delays in the development of the North Fork Project.

Following is a discussion of legal matters related to the North Fork Project.

Stand Up For California! v. Dept. of the Interior. In December 2012, Stand Up for California!, several individuals and the Ministerial Association of Madera (collectively, the “Stand Up” plaintiffs) filed a complaint against the DOI, the BIA and the Secretary of Interior and Assistant Secretary of the Interior, in their official capacities, seeking to overturn the Secretary’s determination to take the North Fork Site into trust for the purposes of gaming (the “North Fork Determination”) and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent the United States from taking the North Fork Site into trust. The Mono filed a motion to intervene as a party to the lawsuit, which was granted. In January 2013, the Court denied the Stand Up plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction and the United States accepted the North Fork Site into trust for the benefit of the Mono in February 2013. The parties subsequently filed motions for summary judgment, oppositions to motions for summary judgment and responses thereto, all of which were filed by April 2015. In September 2016, the Court denied the Stand Up plaintiffs’ motions for summary judgment and granted the defendants’ and the Mono’s motions for summary judgment in part and dismissed the remainder of the Stand Up plaintiffs’ claims. In October 2016, the Stand Up plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the district court’s decision. The Stand Up plaintiffs’ filed their appellate brief on March 14, 2017, the Mono and federal defendants’ briefs are due May 15, 2017, the Stand Up plaintiffs’ reply brief is due June 15, 2017 and final briefs are due July 6, 2017.

Stand Up For California! v. Brown. In March 2013, Stand Up for California! and Barbara Leach, a local resident, filed a complaint for declaratory relief and petition for writ of mandate in California Superior Court for the County of Madera against California Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., alleging that Governor Brown violated the California constitutional separation-of-powers doctrine when he concurred in the North Fork Determination. The complaint sought to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence. Plaintiffs’ complaint was subsequently amended to include a challenge to the constitutionality of AB 277. The Mono intervened as a defendant in the lawsuit and both the State and the Mono filed demurrers to plaintiffs’ complaint. In March 2014, the court issued its Judgment of Dismissal dismissing plaintiffs’ amended complaint. In September 2014, plaintiffs filed their opening appellate brief appealing the Judgment of Dismissal. The State and the Mono subsequently filed their responsive briefs and the plaintiffs filed their reply brief in January 2015. Oral arguments were heard in July 2016. On December 12, 2016, the appellate court ruled in favor of the Stand Up plaintiffs concluding that Governor Brown exceeded his authority in concurring in the Secretary’s determination that gaming on the North Fork Site would be in the best interest of the Tribe and not detrimental to the surrounding community. The appellate court’s decision reversed the trial court’s previous ruling in favor of the Mono. The Mono and the State filed petitions for review in the Supreme Court of California seeking review of the appellate court’s decision. On February 9, 2017, the Stand Up plaintiffs filed their answer to the petitions for review. The Mono and State’s replies were filed on February 21, 2017. On March 22, 2017, the Supreme Court of California granted the Mono and State’s petitions for review and deferred additional briefing or other action in this matter pending consideration and disposition of a related issue in United Auburn Indian Community of Auburn Rancheria v. Brown.

North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians v. State of California. In March 2015, the Mono filed a complaint against the State alleging that the State violated 25 U.S.C. Section 2710(d)(7) et. seq. by failing to negotiate with the Mono in good faith to enter into a tribal-state compact governing Class III gaming on the Mono’s Indian lands. The compliant sought a declaration that the State failed to negotiate in good faith to enter into an enforceable tribal-state compact and an order directing the State to conclude an enforceable tribal-state compact within 60 days or submit to mediation. The Mono filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings in August 2015 and the State’s opposition and cross motion for judgment on the pleadings was filed in September 2015. In November 2015, the district court issued its order granting judgment in favor of the Mono and ordering the parties to conclude a compact within 60 days. The parties were unable to conclude a compact within such period and in January 2016 the district court filed its Order to Show Cause as to why the court should not order the parties to submit to mediation. In January 2016, the court also filed its order confirming the selection of a mediator and requiring the parties to submit their last, best offers for a compact to the mediator within ten days. In February 2016, the mediation was conducted and the mediator issued her decision selecting the Mono’s compact as the compact that best comports with the law and the orders from the district court. The State had 60 days in which to consent to the selected compact. The State failed to consent to the selected compact and in April 2016, the selected compact was submitted to the Secretary of the Interior for the adoption of procedures consistent with the terms of the selected compact to allow the Mono to conduct Class III gaming at the North Fork Site. In March 2016, the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians (“Picayune”) filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit. In April 2016, the Mono and the State filed briefs opposing the intervention. In June 2016, the court denied Picayune’s motion to intervene, but requested briefing on issues raised by Picayune and allowed Picayune to file a brief as an amicus curiae . The Mono, State and Picayune filed briefs and reply briefs on July 15, 2016 and July 22, 2016, respectively. On July 29, 2016, the DOI issued the Secretarial Procedures. In August 2016, the court entered judgment and closed this case. No appeal was filed.

Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians v. Brown . In March 2016, 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 North Fork Determination. The complaint seeks to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence. In May, the Mono filed an ex-parte application to intervene in this case. In July 2016, the court granted the Mono’s application to intervene and the Mono filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the case. Picayune filed its brief opposing the demurrer in September 2016, the Mono filed its reply brief in October 2016, and oral arguments were scheduled for October 27, 2016. On October 20, 2016, the court vacated the hearing scheduled for October 27, 2016 in order to give the parties the opportunity to file briefs concerning the significance of the Third Appellate District Court of Appeal’s decision in United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria v. Brown . In that case, the appellate court ruled that Governor Brown had the power under state law to concur in the Secretary’s determination that taking land into trust for a tribe was in the best interests of the tribe and not detrimental to the surrounding community. On November 30, 2016, the district court sustained the Mono’s and State’s demurrers and dismissed Picayune’s complaint. On January 10, 2017, the court vacated its ruling on the demurrers based on the December 12, 2016, decision by the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Stand Up for California! v. Brown . On May 8, 2017, the court held a case management conference to address how the case should proceed in light of the California Supreme Court’s granting of the Mono and State’s petitions for review in Stand Up for California! v. Brown. The court scheduled a subsequent case management conference for November 13, 2017, to address any further developments in the case pending in the California Supreme Court.

Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians v. United States Department of the Interior. In July 2016, Picayune filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California for declaratory and injunctive relief against the DOI. The complaint seeks a declaration that the North Fork Site does not come under one of the exceptions to the general prohibition against gaming on lands taken into trust after October 1988 set forth in IGRA and therefore is not eligible for gaming. It also seeks a declaration that the North Fork Determination has expired because the legislature never ratified Governor Brown’s concurrence, and seeks injunctive relief prohibiting the DOI from taking any action under IGRA concerning the North Fork Site. The Mono filed a motion to intervene in September 2016. The Department of Justice supported the Mono’s intervention and Picayune failed to file any opposition. In October 2016, the court granted the Mono’s motion to intervene. On March 24, 2017, the Mono and federal defendants filed their motions for summary judgment. On April 27, 2017, Picayune filed its opposition to the Mono and federal defendants’ cross-motions for summary judgment and reply in support of its motion for summary judgment. The Mono and federal defendants’ reply briefs are due May 25, 2017 and a hearing on the parties’ motions is scheduled for May 30, 2017.

Stand Up for California! et. al. v. United States Department of the Interior. In November 2016, Stand Up for California! and other plaintiffs filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California alleging that the DOI’s issuance of Secretarial Procedures for the Mono was subject to the National Environmental Policies Act and the Clean Air Act, and violate the Johnson Act. The complaint further alleges violations of the Freedom of Information Act and the Administrative Procedures Act. The DOI filed its answer to the complaint in February 2017 denying plaintiffs’ claims and asserting certain affirmative defenses. On February 1, 2017, the Mono filed a motion to intervene, which was granted on March 8, 2017. The Stand Up plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment is due by May 12, 2017. The Mono and federal defendants’ response and cross-motions for summary judgment are due by June 13, 2017. The Stand Up plaintiffs’ opposition and reply brief are due by July 13, 2017 and the Mono and federal defendants’ reply briefs are due by August 13, 2017.

Credit Facility

In January 2017, Station LLC amended its credit facility to increase the existing Term Loan B Facility by $125.0 million to an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1.6 billion and reduce the applicable margins for LIBOR and base rate loans by 50 basis points. As a result of the increase to the Term Loan B Facility, the required quarterly principal payments increased to $4.1 million . Station LLC used the proceeds of the incremental Term Loan B Facility borrowings to repay outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction, including a repricing fee of $14.9 million , which represented 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B Facility outstanding prior to the $125.0 million increase in borrowings. Station LLC evaluated the transaction on a lender by lender basis in accordance with the accounting guidance for debt modifications and extinguishments. The majority of the transaction was accounted for as a debt modification and as a result, Station LLC capitalized $14.9 million in related fees and expenses and recognized a $2.0 million loss on debt extinguishment and modification, which was primarily related to third-party fees it incurred in connection with the repricing.

In May 2017, Station LLC completed a series of amendments to its credit facility to increase the existing Term Loan A Facility by $50.0 million to an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $265.0 million and reduce the applicable margins for LIBOR and base rate loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility. As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility bear interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either LIBOR plus an amount ranging from 1.75% to 2.00% or base rate plus an amount ranging from 0.75% to 1.00% , depending on Station LLC’s consolidated leverage ratio. Prior to the amendments, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility bore interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option and subject to a leverage-based grid, of either LIBOR plus an amount ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% or base rate plus an amount ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% .

Also in May 2017, Station LLC amended its credit facility to increase the Term Loan B Facility by an additional $250.0 million to an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1.8 billion . Station LLC applied the proceeds of the incremental borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility, together with cash on hand, to pay for the redemption of $250.0 million of its 7.50% Senior Notes and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions.

The credit facility governing Station LLC’s term loans and revolver contains a number of customary covenants including the requirements that Station LLC maintain throughout the term of the credit facility and measured as of the end of each quarter a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 and a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio ranging from

(UNAUDITED)

6.50 to 1.00 at March 31, 2017 to 5.25 to 1.00 at March 31, 2020 and thereafter. A breach of the financial ratio covenants shall only become an event of default under the Term B Loan Facility if the lenders providing the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility take certain affirmative actions after the occurrence of a default of such financial ratio covenants. At March 31, 2017 , Station LLC’s interest coverage ratio was 4.58 to 1.00 and its consolidated total leverage ratio was 4.57 to 1.00 , both as defined in the credit facility, and the Company believes it was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility Availability

At March 31, 2017 , Station LLC’s borrowing availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of its credit facility, was $616.8 million , which was net of $35.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $33.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations. In April 2017, Station LLC borrowed $120.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the purchase of entities that own certain land on which Texas Station and Boulder Station are located. See Note 11 for additional detail.

Restructured Land Loan

In March 2017, Station LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary, CV Propco, LLC (“CV Propco”), as borrower, and Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (“Deutsche Bank”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as initial lenders, amended the $105 million Restructured Land Loan. Pursuant to the amendment, CV Propco paid $61.8 million in full settlement of the $72.6 million outstanding principal amount owed to Deutsche Bank under the Restructured Land Loan. In addition, the outstanding warrants held by Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan to purchase 60% of the interests of both CV Propco and NP Tropicana LLC were canceled. Prior to the cancellation, the warrants were accounted for as noncontrolling interests.

The Company accounted for the $61.8 million settlement as consideration paid to Deutsche Bank to (i) extinguish the debt and (ii) acquire the warrants held by Deutsche Bank. Accordingly, the Company attributed $4.5 million of the $61.8 million to the acquisition of the warrants and $57.3 million to extinguishment of the debt. The settlement resulted in a $14.9 million gain on debt extinguishment, which at March 31, 2017, was deferred as a current liability within Other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company expects to recognize the gain in June 2017, the date when all contingencies related to the settlement are expected to be satisfied.

At March 31, 2017 , CV Propco had the intent and ability either to (i) execute its second one -year extension option to extend the Restructured Land Loan’s maturity date to June 17, 2018 , or (ii) repay the remaining principal amount outstanding under the Restructured Land Loan using borrowings under the Company’s long-term Revolving Credit Facility. Accordingly, the amount outstanding under the Restructured Land Loan was presented within long-term debt at March 31, 2017 .

7.50% Senior Notes

As noted above, Station LLC redeemed $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.50% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.75% of the principal amount of such notes. Following the redemption, $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Notes remain outstanding.

5 . Derivative Instruments

The Company’s objective in using derivative instruments is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, Station LLC uses interest rate swaps, including forward-starting swaps, as a primary part of its cash flow hedging strategy, which involves the receipt of variable interest–rate payments in exchange for fixed–rate payments without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Station LLC has 16 interest rate swaps with four different counterparties with maturity dates that run concurrently. The interest rate swaps each have one-year terms that run consecutively which began in July 2016 and will end in July 2020 with predetermined fixed pay rates that increase with each new term to more closely align with the one–month LIBOR forward curve as of the trade date of the swaps. Station LLC pays a weighted–average fixed rate of 0.85% during the first one-year term ending in July 2017, which will increase to a weighted–average rate of approximately 1.11% , 1.39% , and 1.69% in the second, third and fourth one-year terms, respectively. At March 31, 2017 , Station LLC’s interest rate swaps effectively converted $1.0 billion of Station LLC’s variable interest-rate debt (based on one -month LIBOR that is subject to a minimum of 0.75% ) to a fixed rate of 3.45% .

The fair value of Station LLC’s interest rate swaps were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the interest rate swaps. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward interest rate curves. Station LLC incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $1.4 million and $0.6 million , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . At March 31, 2017 , unrecognized share-based compensation cost was $33.3 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years.

9 . Write-downs and Other Charges, Net

Write-downs and other charges, net include various charges to record net losses on asset disposals and non-routine transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , write-downs and other charges were $1.0 million , which included $0.8 million of development costs associated with various development and acquisition activities and a realized gain of $0.1 million on the sale of available-for-sale securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , write-downs and other charges were $2.4 million , which included $1.3 million in IPO-related advisory, legal and other costs that were not deferred as direct and incremental costs of the IPO, as well as $1.1 million in losses on asset disposals and severance expense.

10 . Income Taxes

Red Rock is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes on income allocated to it from Station Holdco based upon Red Rock’s economic interest held in Station Holdco. Station Holdco is treated as a pass-through 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 share of Station Holdco’s pass-through taxable income.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of 19.11% is significantly less than the statutory rate of 35% 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 liable for income taxes on the portion of Station Holdco’s earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. Station Holdco operates in Nevada, California and Michigan. Nevada does not impose a state income tax and the Company’s activities in California and Michigan are minimal; as a result, state income taxes do not have a significant impact on the Company’s effective rate. The Company recognized income tax expense of $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 .

As a result of the 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 representing 85% of the tax savings the Company expects to receive 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 tax receivable agreement participants.

The Company determined that the deferred tax asset related to acquiring its interest in Station Holdco through the newly issued LLC Units is not expected to be realized unless the Company disposes of its investment in Station Holdco. Accordingly, as part of the reorganization transactions in May 2016, the Company established a valuation allowance of $109.4 million against this portion of its deferred tax asset. The Company recognizes subsequent changes to the valuation allowance through the provision for income tax or other comprehensive income, as applicable, and at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the valuation allowance was $101.4 million and $103.7 million , respectively.

11 . Related Party Transactions

Prior to April 27, 2017, the Company leased the land on which each of Boulder Station and Texas Station is located pursuant to long-term ground leases which provided for monthly payments of $222,933 and $366,435 , respectively, subject to future increases. The Company leased this land from entities owned by the Frank J. Fertitta and Victoria K. Fertitta Revocable Family Trust (the “Related Lessor”). Frank J. Fertitta, Jr. and Victoria K. Fertitta are the parents of Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, the Company’s Vice Chairman. On April 27, 2017, the Company acquired the land subject to the ground leases, including the residual interest in the gaming and hotel facilities and other real property improvements thereon, for aggregate consideration of $120.0 million . As a result of such acquisition and the termination of the ground leases, the Company expects to recognize a charge in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate consideration paid by the Company and the acquisition date fair value of the land and residual interests, which charge is expected to have a material impact on its net income and earnings per share for the three and six months ending June 30, 2017.

Under the tax receivable agreement described in Note 10 , the Company is required to make payments to certain pre-IPO owners of Station Holdco for 85% of the tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of certain transactions with the pre-IPO owners. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company’s liability under the tax receivable agreement was $258.5 million , of which $21.6 million is payable to entities controlled by Frank J. Fertitta III and Lorenzo J. Fertitta.

12 . Earnings Per Share

Basic net income 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 net income 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 net income per share represent nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and certain stock options. All other potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would not have been dilutive.

For purposes of calculating net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 the Company has retrospectively presented net income per share as if the IPO had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Such retrospective presentation reflects approximately 10 million Class A shares outstanding, representing certain LLC Units that were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock in connection with the IPO. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the Company has applied a hypothetical allocation of net income to the Class A common stock, with the remainder of net income being allocated to noncontrolling interests. This hypothetical allocation of net income differs from the allocation of net income to Red Rock and noncontrolling interests presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, which assumes no noncontrolling interest in Station Holdco existed prior to the IPO.

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



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Net income	$	45,214		$	59,503

Shares issuable in exchange for Class B common stock and LLC Units	49,956	80,335

Shares of Class B common stock are not entitled to share in the earnings of the Company and are not participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

13 . Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits relating to routine matters incidental to their business. As with all litigation, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of any legal matters and litigation inherently involves significant costs.

14 . Segments

The Company views each of its Las Vegas casino properties and each of its Native American management arrangements as individual operating segments. 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.

The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of each of its properties’ performance. The Company’s segment information and a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is presented below (amounts in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations 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, 2016 .

Overview

Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in September 2015 to manage and own an indirect equity interest in Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”). In May 2016, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and used the proceeds to purchase newly issued limited liability company interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such units, the “LLC Units”), and outstanding LLC Units from existing members of Station Holdco. We own all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and have an indirect interest in Station LLC through our ownership interest in Station Holdco, which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company that owns and operates ten major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casinos ( three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market, including its most recent acquisition of Palms Casino Resort (“Palms”) in October 2016. In addition, Station LLC manages Graton Resort & Casino (‘‘Graton Resort’’) in Sonoma County, California and Gun Lake Casino (‘‘Gun Lake’’) in Allegan County, Michigan, both on behalf of Native American tribes.

At March 31, 2017 , we held approximately 57% of the economic interests in Station Holdco, as well as 100% of the voting interest in Station LLC and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and were 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. 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. Station Holdco is our predecessor for accounting purposes and accordingly, for all periods prior to May 2, 2016, the financial information presented herein represents the information of the predecessor.

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. The Las Vegas economy, although severely impacted by the recession and housing crisis that spanned from 2008 to 2011, began to stabilize in 2012 and, based on population and employment growth, is once again one of the fastest growing economies in the United States. Based on a recent U.S. Census Bureau release, Nevada was second among all states in percentage growth of population from July 2015 to July 2016. In addition, based on preliminary data for March 2017 from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Las Vegas experienced a 3.1% year-over-year increase in employment to 966,200 which is an all-time high. This resulted in an unemployment rate of 4.8% which has declined from 14.1% in July 2011. Businesses and consumers in Las Vegas continue to increase their spending as evidenced by 44 consecutive months of year-over-year increases in taxable retail sales from July 2013 to February 2017. Home values have also improved significantly over the past several years with the median price of an existing single family home in Las Vegas up approximately 116% at March 2017 compared to January 2012, as reported by the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors.

The Las Vegas economy has shown improvements in employment, taxable sales and home prices, and we believe the stabilization of the local economy, positive trends in many of the key economic indicators and future projects and infrastructure investments provide a foundation for future growth in our business. Although we experienced improved operating results over the past few years due, in part, to more favorable local economic conditions, we cannot be sure if, or how long, these favorable market conditions will persist or that they will continue to positively impact our results of operations .

Table of Contents

Our Key Performance Indicators

We use certain key indicators to measure our performance.

Gaming revenue measures:


•	Slot handle and table game drop 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 and recorded as casino revenue.


•	Hold represents win as a percentage of slot handle or table game drop.

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 sales 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 total occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by total rooms available.


•	Average daily rate (“ADR”) is calculated by dividing total room revenue, which includes the retail value of complimentary rooms, by total rooms occupied, including complimentary rooms.


•	Revenue per available room is calculated by dividing total room revenue by total rooms available.

_____________________________

n/m = Not meaningful

We view each of our Las Vegas casino properties as individual operating segments. 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 techniques, are directed by a centralized management structure and have similar economic characteristics. We also aggregate our Native American management arrangements into one reportable segment. The results of operations for our Native American management segment are discussed in the section entitled “Management Fee Revenue” below and the results of operations of our Las Vegas operations are discussed in the remaining sections. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , references to same-store basis represents results of operations excluding the impact of operations of Palms Casino Resort (“Palms”), which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Net Revenues . Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by 16.3% as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition of Palms. Same-store net revenues, which are further discussed below, increased 3.8% as compared to the prior year period, and were negatively impacted by construction disruption at Palace Station associated with the upgrade and expansion project that commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased by 1.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period, and same-store operating income decreased 6.6% as compared to the prior year period. Components of operating income for the three month comparative periods are discussed below.

Casino. Casino revenues increased by 9.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition of Palms. Casino revenues on a same-store basis increased by 2.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period due to higher slot revenue while table games revenue and sports revenue remained relatively flat. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , casino expenses increased by 16.3% as compared to the prior year period as a result of the increase in revenues, as well as increases in employee expenses.

Food and Beverage. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , food and beverage revenue increased by 20.3% as compared to the prior year period largely due to the acquisition of Palms. Food and beverage revenue on a same-store basis increased by 2.6% as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the opening of several new restaurants during 2016. The average guest check increased 0.8% on a same-store basis for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period and same-store covers increased by 0.7% quarter over quarter. Food and beverage expenses increased by 29.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period due to the acquisition of Palms and the addition of the new restaurants, as well as enhancements to our food and beverage product offerings and service levels.

Room. Information about our hotel operations is presented below:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Occupancy	92.2		%	93.5		%
Average daily rate	$	102.12		$	90.05
Revenue per available room	$	94.12		$	84.22

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , room revenues increased by 44.7% , primarily due to the acquisition of Palms. ADR increased by 13.4% as compared to the prior year period, partially offset by a 136 basis point decrease in occupancy rate. Room revenues on a same-store basis increased 6.7% and ADR increased 8.8% as compared to the prior year period. Room expenses also increased for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the acquisition of Palms, as well as increases in employee expenses.

Other. Other primarily represent revenues from tenant leases, retail outlets, bowling, spas and entertainment. Other revenues increased by $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period, and other expenses increased $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the acquisition of Palms.

Management Fee Revenue. Management fee revenue primarily represents management and development fees earned from our management agreements with Graton Resort and Gun Lake. Management fee revenue increased 13.4% to $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $26.6 million for the prior year period. The increase was due to higher slot and table games revenue as well as the opening of an expansion at Graton Resort, which included a 200-room hotel, convention space and other resort amenities, in the fourth quarter of 2016. A portion of the casino expansion at Gun Lake opened in May 2017, and the remainder is expected to open in September 2017. The Gun Lake management agreement expires in February 2018.

Management fee revenue also includes reimbursable costs, which represent amounts received or due under our management agreements with Native American tribes for the reimbursement of expenses, primarily compensation costs, that we incur on their behalf. We recognize reimbursable cost revenues on a gross basis with an offsetting amount charged to operating expenses. Reimbursable cost revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $2.1 million and $1.9 million , respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , SG&A expenses increased by $19.3 million or 25.7% as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to SG&A expense of Palms, as well as higher employee expenses, as compared to the prior year period and additional costs associated with being a public company. In

April 2017, we purchased entities that own certain land on which Texas Station and Boulder Station are located. The land was previously leased under long-term operating leases with a related party lessor. Annual rent expense will decrease by approximately $7.1 million as a result of the land acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , depreciation and amortization expense increased to $45.3 million as compared to $39.4 million for the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition of Palms, as well as accelerated depreciation related to the upgrade and expansion of Palace Station.

Write-downs and Other Charges, net. Write-downs and other charges, net include various charges to record net losses on asset disposals and non-routine transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , write-downs and other charges were $1.0 million , which included $0.8 million of development costs associated with various development and acquisition activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , write-downs and other charges were $2.4 million , which included $1.3 million in IPO-related advisory, legal and other costs that were not deferred as direct and incremental costs of the IPO, as well as $1.1 million in losses on asset disposals and severance expense.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased slightly to $34.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $35.1 million for the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily related to the January 2017 Term Loan B Facility repricing, which resulted in a 50 basis point reduction to its interest rate margins, and the repayment of Fertitta Entertainment’s credit facility in May 2016, offset by additional interest expense from increased borrowings under the credit facility, including a $125.0 million upsizing of the Term Loan B Facility. A description of the repricing and upsizing of the Term Loan B Facility is included in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loss on Extinguishment/Modification of Debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we recorded a $2.0 million loss on extinguishment/modification of debt related to the repricing and upsizing of our Term Loan B Facility.

Provision for Income Tax. Income tax expense totaled $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Station Holdco is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting and Station Holdco’s members are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their share of Station Holdco’s taxable income. We are not liable for the noncontrolling interests’ share of Station Holdco’s taxable income and therefore our effective tax rate of 19.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was significantly less than the statutory rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , our results of operations represent the results of Station Holdco, our predecessor for accounting purposes, and accordingly, no income tax expense was recognized.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2017 represents the portion of net income attributable to the ownership interest in Station Holdco not held by us, as well as the portion of MPM’s net income that is not attributable to us. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2016 represents the portion of MPM’s net income that is not attributable to us.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period is due to the factors described above.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely used measure of operating performance in our industry and is a principal basis for valuation of gaming companies. We believe that in addition to net income, Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing our operating performance because it provides information about the performance of our ongoing core operations excluding non-cash expenses, financing costs, and other non-operational items. Adjusted EBITDA includes net income plus preopening, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, write-downs and other charges, net, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment/modification of debt, change in fair value of derivative instruments and provision for income tax, and excludes Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the noncontrolling interests of MPM.

To evaluate Adjusted EBITDA and the trends it depicts, the components should be considered. Each of these components can significantly affect our results of operations and should be considered in evaluating our operating performance,

Table of Contents

and the impact of these components cannot be determined from Adjusted EBITDA. Further, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not consider capital expenditures and other investing activities and should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. In addition, it should be noted that not all gaming companies that report EBITDA or adjustments to this measure may calculate EBITDA or such adjustments in the same manner as we do, and therefore, our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other gaming companies.

Recent Developments

Prior to April 27, 2017, we leased from a related party the land on which each of Boulder Station and Texas Station is located pursuant to long-term ground leases which provided for monthly payments of $222,933 and $366,435, respectively, subject to future increases. On April 27, 2017, we acquired the land, including the residual interest in the gaming and hotel facilities and other real property improvements thereon, for aggregate consideration of $120.0 million, which was funded with borrowings under Station LLC’s Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of such acquisition and the termination of the ground leases, we expect to recognize a charge in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate consideration paid by us and the acquisition date fair value of the land and residual interests, which charge is expected to have a material impact on our net income and earnings per share for the three and six months ending June 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following liquidity and capital resources discussion contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations, dispositions, acquisitions, investments and subsidiaries, which involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified, and consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks described in

Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Credit Facility Amendments

In January 2017, we amended Station LLC’s credit facility to increase the existing Term Loan B Facility by $125.0 million to an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1.6 billion and reduce the applicable margins for LIBOR and base rate loans by 50 basis points. As a result of the increase to the Term Loan B Facility, our required quarterly principal payments increased to $4.1 million . Station LLC used the proceeds of the incremental Term Loan B Facility borrowings to repay outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction, including a repricing fee of $14.9 million , which represented 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B Facility outstanding prior to the $125.0 million increase in borrowings.

In May 2017, we completed a series of amendments to Station LLC’s credit facility to increase the existing Term Loan A Facility by $50.0 million to an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $265.0 million and reduce the applicable margins for LIBOR and base rate loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility. As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility bear interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either LIBOR plus an amount ranging from 1.75% to 2.00% or base rate plus an amount ranging from 0.75% to 1.00% , depending on Station LLC’s consolidated leverage ratio. Prior to the amendments, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility bore interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option and subject to a leverage-based grid, of either LIBOR plus an amount ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% or base rate plus an amount ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% . Annual interest payments are expected to decrease by approximately $10.7 million as a result of the credit facility repricings.

Also in May 2017, we amended Station LLC’s credit facility to increase the Term Loan B Facility by an additional $250.0 million to an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1.8 billion . Station LLC applied the proceeds of the incremental borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility, together with cash on hand, to pay for the redemption of $250.0 million of its 7.50% Senior Notes and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions.

Restructured Land Loan

In March 2017, we paid $61.8 million in full settlement of the $72.6 million outstanding principal amount owed to Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (“Deutsche Bank”) under the Restructured Land Loan. In addition, the outstanding warrants held by Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) to purchase 60% of the equity interests of both CV Propco, LLC (“CV Propco”) and NP Tropicana LLC (“NP Tropicana”) were canceled. Annual interest payments are expected to decrease by approximately $2.1 million as a result of the partial repayment of the Restructured Land Loan.

Table of Contents

7.50% Senior Notes

As noted above, we redeemed $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Station LLC’s 7.50% Senior Notes (the “Partial Notes Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 103.75% of the principal amount of such notes. Following the Partial Notes Redemption, $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Notes remain outstanding. Annual interest payments are expected to decrease by approximately $10.0 million as a result of the Partial Notes Redemption.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At March 31, 2017 , we had $119.4 million in cash and cash equivalents used for the day-to-day operations of our properties. At March 31, 2017 , Station LLC’s borrowing availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of its credit facility, was $616.8 million , which was net of $35.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $33.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations. In April 2017, we borrowed $120.0 million under Station LLC’s Revolving Credit Facility to fund the purchase of entities that own certain land on which Texas Station and Boulder Station are located.

Our anticipated uses of cash for the remainder of 2017 include (i) principal and interest payments on Station LLC’s indebtedness totaling approximately $41.0 million and $83.2 million , respectively, (ii) approximately $135 million to $160 million for capital expenditures, which includes amounts related to the upgrade and expansion project at Palace Station, and (iii) distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco and dividends to our Class A common stockholders, including dividends of $6.8 million that we expect to pay on May 30, 2017 .

We are obligated to make payments under the tax receivable agreement, which is described in Notes 10 and 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2017 , such obligations totaled $258.5 million . Although the amount of any payments that must be made under the tax receivable agreement may be significant, the timing of these payments will vary and will generally be limited to one payment per year. The amount of such payments is also limited to the extent we utilize the related deferred tax assets. The payments that we are required to make will generally reduce the amount of overall cash that might have otherwise been available to us, but we expect the cash tax savings we will realize from the utilization of the related deferred tax assets to fund the required payments.

We believe that cash flows from operations, available borrowings under Station LLC’s credit facility and existing cash balances will be adequate to satisfy our other anticipated uses of capital for the next twelve months. We regularly assess our projected capital requirements for capital expenditures, repayment of debt obligations, and payment of other general corporate and operational needs. In the long term, we expect that we will fund our capital requirements with a combination of cash generated from operations, borrowings under Station LLC’s Revolving Credit Facility and the issuance of new debt or equity as market conditions may permit. However, our cash flow and ability to obtain debt or equity financing on terms that are satisfactory to us, or at all, may be affected by a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including competition, general economic and business conditions and financial markets. As a result, we cannot provide any assurance that we will generate sufficient income and liquidity to meet all of our liquidity requirements or other obligations.

A summary of our cash flow information is presented below (amounts in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	94,693		$	96,073
Investing activities	(41,953		)	(32,433		)
Financing activities	(67,098		)	(57,702		)

Cash Flows from Operations

Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income generated by our properties (excluding depreciation and other non-cash charges), interest paid and normal fluctuations in working capital accounts such as inventories, prepaid expenses, receivables and payables. The majority of our revenue is generated from our slot machine and table game play, which is conducted mainly on a cash basis. Our food and beverage, room and other revenues are also primarily cash-based. As a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flow from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , cash provided by operating activities was $94.7 million as compared to $96.1 million for the prior year period. Operating cash flows increased from the acquisition of Palms and improved operating results at our Native American managed properties as described under Results of Operations above, and were offset due to additional costs associated with being a public company.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , capital expenditures were $41.3 million , which were primarily related to various renovation projects, including the upgrade and expansion project at Palace Station which commenced in October 2016, as well as the purchase of slot machines and related gaming equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , capital expenditures were $31.3 million and were primarily related to various renovation projects at our properties. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we paid $0.8 million and $0.4 million , respectively, in reimbursable advances for the North Fork project.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we completed a $125.0 million upsizing and repricing of Station LLC’s Term Loan B Facility and paid $16.7 million in related fees and expenses. During the same period, we paid $61.8 million in full settlement of outstanding principal due to Deutsche Bank under the Restructured Land Loan, of which $4.5 million was attributed to the acquisition of outstanding warrants of CV Propco and NP Tropicana and the remainder was attributed to the extinguishment of the debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we paid $6.6 million in dividends to Class A common shareholders and $7.5 million in distributions, consisting of $5.3 million paid to the noncontrolling interest holders of Station Holdco, and $2.2 million paid by MPM to its noncontrolling interest holders.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , we paid $49.7 million in principal payments on Station LLC’s indebtedness, which included a mandatory excess cash flow payment of $43.7 million . During the same period, cash distributions totaled $8.3 million , consisting of $6.2 million in distributions to members of Station Holdco and $2.1 million paid by MPM to its noncontrolling interest holders.

Restrictive Covenants

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , there were no changes in the covenants included in Station LLC’s credit facility or the indenture governing Station LLC’s 7.50% Senior Notes. A description of these covenants is included in Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . A description of the covenants included in Station LLC’s credit facility is also included in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that as of March 31, 2017 , Station LLC was in compliance with the covenants contained in its credit facility and the indenture governing its 7.50% Senior Notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities and our derivative arrangements are described in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. At March 31, 2017 , we had outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations totaling $33.2 million .

Contractual Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 other than the impact of the Term Loan B Facility repricing, the amendments to Station LLC’s credit facility and the partial repayment of the Restructured Land Loan as described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of these debt transactions, including the impact of the Partial Notes Redemption, we expect annual interest payments to decrease by approximately $22.8 million . In addition, annual rent payments under operating leases will decrease by approximately $7.1 million as a result of our acquisition in April 2017 of entities that hold certain land on which Texas Station and Boulder Station are located.

Native American Development

We have development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians, a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, pursuant to which we will assist the tribe in developing and operating a gaming and entertainment facility to be located on Highway 99 north of the city of Madera, California. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about this project.

Regulation and Taxes

We are subject to extensive regulation by Nevada gaming authorities as well as the National Indian Gaming Commission, the California Gambling Control Commission, the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Gaming Commission and the Gun Lake Tribal Gaming Commission. In addition, we will be subject to regulation, which may or may not be similar to that in Nevada, by any other jurisdiction in which we may conduct gaming activities in the future.

Table of Contents

The gaming industry represents a significant source of tax revenue, particularly to the State of Nevada and its counties and municipalities. From time to time, various state and federal legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax law, or in the administration of such law, affecting the gaming industry. The Nevada legislature meets every two years for 120 days and when special sessions are called by the Governor. The most recent regular legislative session convened on February 6, 2017 and will adjourn no later than June 5, 2017. There are currently no specific proposals to increase taxes on gaming revenue, but there are no assurances that an increase in taxes on gaming or other revenue will not be proposed and passed by the Nevada Legislature in the future.
