. 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
June 30, 2017
, the Company held approximately
59%
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
. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income.
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
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
included a management contract intangible asset with a carrying amount of
$6.4 million
and
$11.5 million
, respectively, and management fees receivable of
$6.5 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.
RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
The Company has investments in
three
50%
owned smaller casino properties, which are accounted for using the equity method. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in one of the 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 May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance that amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The amended guidance clarifies which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017, and early application is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In January 2017, the 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 an entity 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. 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
RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
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.

. 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, and presents the interests in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. During the
three months ended June 30, 2017
, approximately
2.0 million
LLC Units and Class B common shares held by related party noncontrolling interest holders were exchanged for Class A common shares, which increased Red Rock’s ownership interest in Station Holdco. The exchange also resulted in a
$17.3 million
increase in amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement liability, which is described in Note
10
, and an increase to deferred tax assets of
$6.1 million
, both of which were recorded through equity.
Following is a summary of LLC Unit ownership:

. 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
June 30, 2017
, the Company has paid approximately
$31.5 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
June 30, 2017
, the carrying amount of the advances was
$16.4 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
RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.

(UNAUDITED)
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
June 30, 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.

Yes
|
Date of recognition
|
Federal recognition was terminated in 1966 and restored in 1983.

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 (“IGRA”).
|
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. 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. The Stand Up plaintiffs appealed the district court’s decision and proceedings on the appeal are pending. All briefs have been filed and oral arguments have been scheduled for October 13, 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. In March 2014, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ amended complaint, which dismissal was appealed by plaintiffs. In December 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 in the Supreme Court of California seeking review of the appellate court’s decision. In March 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 similar issue in
United Auburn Indian Community of Auburn Rancheria v. Brown.
Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians v. Brown
. 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 North Fork Determination. The complaint seeks to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence. In July 2016, the court granted the Mono’s application to intervene and the Mono filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the case. In November 2016, the district court dismissed Picayune’s complaint, but the court subsequently vacated its ruling based on the December 2016, decision by the Fifth District Court of Appeal in
Stand Up for California! v. Brown
. In May 2017, the court stayed the case for six months by agreement of the parties and scheduled a status conference on November 13, 2017 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.
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, which was subsequently granted. The Mono and federal defendants filed motions for summary judgment in March 2017. On August 8, 2017, Picayune filed a brief arguing that the court should stay the proceedings in light of the Fifth District Court's decision in
Stand Up for California! v. Brown
and the appeal pending in the California Supreme Court.
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. A motion to intervene filed by the Mono was granted in March 2017. Plaintiffs’ subsequently filed a motion to stay the proceedings in May 2017. Briefing on the contested stay request concluded in July 2017 and briefing on cross-motions for summary judgment is scheduled to conclude in September 2017.

Credit Facility
In January 2017, Station LLC amended its credit facility to increase the existing Term Loan B Facility by
$125.0 million
and reduce the applicable margins for LIBOR and base rate loans by
50
basis points. 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 costs 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 costs 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 amended its credit facility to increase the Term Loan B Facility by an additional
$250.0 million
. 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 costs incurred in connection with the transactions. Station LLC capitalized
$3.8 million
in fees and costs related to the
$250.0 million
in incremental borrowings. As a result of the January 2017 and May 2017 increases to the Term Loan B Facility, the required
quarterly
principal payments increased to
$4.7 million
. Depending on its consolidated total leverage ratio, Station LLC is required to apply a portion of its excess cash flow to repay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility, which reduces future quarterly principal payments.
Also 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
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%
. Station LLC evaluated the transaction on a lender by lender basis in accordance with the accounting guidance for debt modifications and extinguishments and as a result, Station LLC capitalized
$1.3 million
in related fees and costs and
RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.

(UNAUDITED)
recognized a
$2.1 million
loss on debt extinguishment and modification, which was primarily related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount related to the extinguished debt.
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
6.50
to
1.00
at June 30, 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
June 30, 2017
, Station LLC’s interest coverage ratio was
4.58
to
1.00
and its consolidated total leverage ratio was
4.96
to
1.00
, both as defined in the credit facility. The Company believes it was in compliance with all applicable covenants at
June 30, 2017
.
Revolving Credit Facility Availability
At
June 30, 2017
, Station LLC’s borrowing availability under its Revolving Credit Facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of its credit facility, was
$461.0 million
, which was net of
$190.0 million
in outstanding borrowings and
$34.0 million
in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations.
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
$57.3 million
of the
$61.8 million
to extinguishment of the debt and
$4.5 million
to the acquisition of the warrants. The settlement resulted in a
$14.9 million
gain on debt extinguishment in June 2017, the date when all contingencies related to the settlement were satisfied. In June 2017, CV Propco repaid the remaining
$43.3 million
in outstanding principal under the Restructured Land Loan in full.
7.50% Senior Notes
As noted above, in May 2017, 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. Station LLC recognized a
$13.8 million
loss on debt extinguishment related to the
7.50%
Senior Notes redemption, primarily comprising the write-off of
$4.4 million
in unamortized debt discount and issuance costs related to the extinguished debt and the redemption premium of
$9.4 million
.

. Derivative Instruments
The Company’s objective in using derivative instruments is 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–rate interest payments in exchange for fixed–rate payments without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company may elect not to apply hedge accounting to its derivative instruments; however, it does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
On June 30, 2017, the Company dedesignated the hedge accounting relationships of Station LLC’s
16
interest rate swaps that were previously designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments. The
16
interest rate swaps are with
four
different counterparties and have 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 interest rate swaps. Station LLC paid a weighted–average fixed rate of
0.85%
during the first
one
-year term that ended 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. As a result of the June 2017 dedesignation, cumulative deferred gains of
$8.6 million
that had previously been recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense as the hedged interest payments continue to occur through July 2020.
RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
In June 2017, Station LLC entered into
eight
additional interest rate swaps for which hedge accounting was not elected. These swaps are also intended to meet the Company’s objectives noted above and are not speculative. The
eight
interest rate swaps are with
two
different counterparties and have maturity dates that run concurrently. The interest rate swaps each have
one
-year terms that run consecutively beginning July 2017 and will end in July 2021 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 interest rate swaps. Station LLC will pay a weighted-average fixed rate of
1.32%
during the first
one
-year term ending in July 2018, which will increase to a weighted-average rate of approximately
1.59%
,
1.78%
and
1.94%
during the second, third and fourth
one
-year terms, respectively.
At
June 30, 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
3.47%
.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments, the Company defers the gain or loss on the effective portion of the derivative’s change in fair value as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the interest payments being hedged are recorded as interest expense, at which time the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified as an adjustment to interest expense. The Company recognizes the gain or loss on any ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in fair value in the period in which the change occurs as a component of Change in fair value of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations
. For derivative instruments that are not designated in cash flow hedge accounting relationships, the Company records the derivative’s change in the fair value in the period in which the change occurs as a component of Change in fair value of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations
.
As a result of (i) the June 2017 dedesignation of Station LLC’s
16
interest rate swaps previously designated in cash flow hedging relationships and (ii) the Company’s election not to apply hedge accounting to its
eight
new interest rate swaps, beginning July 2017, the changes in fair value of all of Station LLC’s derivative instruments will be reflected in Change in fair value of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations
in the period in which the change occurs. As such, interest expense will not reflect a fixed rate as it previously did under hedge accounting for that portion of the debt hedged. However, the economics will be unchanged and the Company will continue to meet its risk management objective and achieve fixed cash flows attributable to interest payments on the debt principal being hedged by its interest rate swaps.
At
June 30, 2017
, approximately
$2.6 million
of deferred net gains from Station LLC’s previously designated interest rate swaps is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the next twelve months due to the amortization of deferred gains from the interest rate swaps that were dedesignated on June 30, 2017 and the amortization of deferred losses on a previously terminated interest rate swap.

The fair values 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.

For the

$11.0 million
and
$13.3 million
, respectively. Included in this amount was
$7.8 million
and
$9.0 million
, respectively, in IPO-related advisory, legal and other transaction-related costs that were not deferred as direct and incremental costs of the IPO, as well as costs related to the acquisition of Fertitta Entertainment. The Company also incurred
$1.3 million
in costs associated with various development and acquisition activities, including the acquisition of Palms Casino Resort completed during the fourth quarter of 2016.
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 rates for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2017
were
18.96%
and
17.68%
, respectively, as compared to
25.67%
and
8.45%
, respectively, for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
. The Company’s effective tax rate 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 effective tax rates for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
are also lower than statutory rates because income for the period prior to the IPO was not taxable to the Company as it did not yet hold an equity interest in Station Holdco. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of
$11.8 million
and
$1.1 million
for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2017
, respectively, and income tax expense of
$7.5 million
for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
.
RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
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 recognized a charge to equity to establish a
$109.4 million
valuation allowance 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
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the valuation allowance was
$101.3 million
and
$103.7 million
, respectively.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain pre-IPO owners of Station Holdco. In the event that such parties exchange any or all of their Holdco Units for Class A common stock, the tax receivable agreement 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
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the Company's liability under the tax receivable agreement was
$275.3 million
and
$258.5 million
, respectively, of which
$0.9 million
and
$1.0 million
was presented within current liabilities, respectively. As a result of exchanges of approximately
2.0 million
LLC Units and Class B common shares for Class A common shares during the
three months ended June 30, 2017
, the Company recognized a
$17.3 million
increase in the liability.
The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the tax receivable agreement 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 tax receivable agreement 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 at a rate of LIBOR plus
5.00%
.
The tax receivable agreement will remain in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement. The tax receivable agreement will also terminate if the Company breaches its obligations under the tax receivable agreement 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 tax receivable agreement, or if the tax receivable agreement is terminated early in accordance with its terms, Red Rock’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.
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. 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 recognized a charge of
$98.4 million
in related party lease termination costs, which was 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. In addition, the transaction generated a tax benefit of approximately
$35 million
to Red Rock and the other owners of Station Holdco.
RED ROCK RESORTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(UNAUDITED)
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
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
,
$22.5 million
and
$21.6 million
, respectively, of the Company’s liability under the tax receivable agreement was payable to related parties.
12
. (Loss) Earnings Per Share
Basic (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) 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. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2017
, the Company incurred a net loss. As a result, all potentially dilutive securities, which included outstanding shares of Class B common stock, nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
For purposes of calculating earnings per share for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2016
the Company has retrospectively presented earnings 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 and six
months ended
June 30, 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 Operations, which assumes
no
noncontrolling interest in Station Holdco existed prior to the IPO.

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.
