Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performances or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We operate in a heavily regulated and evolving industry and have a highly leveraged business model. Moreover, we operate in Macau’s gaming sector, a market with intense competition, and therefore new risk factors may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of these factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) growth of the gaming market and visitations in Macau, (ii) capital and credit market volatility, (iii) local and global economic conditions, (iv) our anticipated growth strategies, (v) gaming authority and other governmental approvals and regulations and (vi) our future business development, results of operations and financial condition. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this quarterly report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Although we have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas, our revenues and expenses are denominated predominantly in H.K. dollars and, in connection with a portion of our indebtedness and certain expenses, in U.S. dollars. The non-financial pages of this quarterly report include all translations from H.K. dollars to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to H.K. dollars at a rate of HK$7.8135 to US$1.00, unless otherwise noted.

The H.K. dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). Since October 17, 1983, the H.K. dollar has been officially linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80 to US$1.00. The market exchange rate has not deviated materially from the level of HK$7.80 to US$1.00 since the peg was first established. However, in May 2005, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority broadened the trading band from the original rate of HK$7.80 per U.S. dollar to a rate range of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar. The Hong Kong government has stated its intention to maintain the link at that rate, and, acting through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, has a number of means by which it may act to maintain exchange rate stability. However, no assurance can be given that the Hong Kong government will maintain the link at HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar or at all.

The noon buying rate on June 28, 2019 in New York City for cable transfers in H.K. dollars for U.S. dollars, provided in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was HK$7.8103 to US$1.00. On August 23, 2019, the noon buying rate was HK$7.8438 to US$1.00. We make no representation that any H.K. dollar or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or H.K. dollars, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

The Pataca is pegged to the H.K. dollar at a rate of HK$1.00 to MOP1.03. All translations from Pataca to U.S. dollar in the non-financial pages of this quarterly report were made at the exchange rate of MOP8.0479 to US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not certify for customs purposes a noon buying rate for cable transfers in Pataca.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in connection with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (Topic 842) (“New Leases Standard”) on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective method. Amounts for the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the New Leases Standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous basis. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected in the future. Certain statements in this “Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Studio City is a large-scale cinematically-themed integrated entertainment, retail and gaming resort which opened in October 2015. In the second quarter of 2019, Studio City operated an average of approximately 293 gaming tables and 985 gaming machines. The gaming operations of Studio City are focused on the mass market and target all ranges of mass market patrons. While Studio City focuses on the mass market segment for gaming, VIP rolling chip operations, including both junket and premium direct VIP offerings, were introduced at Studio City in early November 2016 and a VIP rolling chip area has been built at Studio City with 45 VIP tables as of June 30, 2019. Such VIP rolling chip operations are operated by the Gaming Operator. In January 2019, the Gaming Operator informed Studio City Entertainment that it will cease VIP gaming operations at the Studio City Casino in January 2020. Studio City will assess and evaluate its focus on different market segments from time to time and will adjust its operations as appropriate.

Studio City also includes luxury hotel offerings and various entertainment, retail and food and beverage outlets to attract a diverse range of customers. Designed to focus on the mass market segment, Studio City offers cinematically-themed, unique and innovative interactive attractions, including the world’s first figure-8 and Asia’s highest Ferris wheel, a Warner Bros.-themed family entertainment center, a 4-D Batman flight simulator, an exclusive night club and a 5,000-seat multi-purpose live performance arena, as well as approximately 1,600 luxury hotel rooms, various food and beverage outlets and themed and innovative retail space.

Studio City Casino is operated by the Gaming Operator, one of the subsidiaries of Melco and a holder of a gaming subconcession, and we operate the non-gaming businesses of Studio City.

Studio City sits within a ring-fenced credit group separate from its shareholders and Studio City’s debt obligations are not guaranteed by its shareholders. In particular, Melco is not a guarantor under the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Studio City Finance Notes or the Studio City Company Notes. As such, SCI and its shareholders are not contractually required to provide any additional financial support to Studio City with respect to the Studio City debt obligations.

Under our current plan, the remaining project is expected to consist of two hotel towers with approximately 900 rooms and suites and a gaming area. In addition, we currently envision the remaining project to also contain a waterpark with indoor and outdoor areas. Other non-gaming attractions expected to be part of the remaining project include MICE space, retail and food and beverage outlets and a cineplex. As of June 30, 2019, we have incurred approximately US$47.7 million of aggregate costs relating to the development of our remaining project, primarily related to the initial design and planning costs. Based on our current plan, we currently expect a development project budget of approximately US$1.35 billion to US$1.40 billion (exclusive of any pre-opening costs and financing costs). We expect to have significant capital expenditures in the future if we continue to expand our existing operations at Studio City and develop the remaining project.

Table of Contents

In February 2018, we announced that the Macau government has granted an extension of the development period under the Studio City land concession contract. Pursuant to such extension, the development period for the land of Studio City has been extended to July 24, 2021. If we do not complete development by that time and the Macau government does not grant us an extension of the development period, we could be forced to forfeit all or part of our investment in Studio City, along with our interest in the land on which Studio City is located and the buildings and structures on such land.

The Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City for the three months ended June 30, 2019 referred to in Melco’s earnings release dated July 24, 2019 (“Melco’s earnings release”) is US$12.1 million more than the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this report. The Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this report includes certain intercompany charges that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City contained in the Melco’s earnings release. Such intercompany charges include, among other items, fees and shared service charges billed between the Company and its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Melco. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City included in the Melco’s earnings release does not reflect certain costs related to the VIP operations at Studio City Casino. Furthermore, the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City included in Melco’s earnings release includes operating income or losses generated at Studio City by SCI’s subsidiaries which are not our subsidiaries. Such operating income or losses are not included in the consolidated financials of our company.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

For the second quarter of 2019, our total operating revenues were US$149.4 million, an increase of US$24.4 million, from US$125.0 million of total operating revenues for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in total operating revenues was due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services, partially offset by lower non-gaming revenues.

Net loss attributable to Studio City Finance Limited for the second quarter of 2019 was US$5.5 million, a decrease of US$16.3 million from a net loss attributable to Studio City Finance Limited of US$21.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services, partially offset by lower non-gaming revenues and higher property charges and other.

Studio City Casino generated gross gaming revenues of US$361.8 million and US$381.0 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Affected by the Macau market-wide VIP weakness, and by increasing competition in and around Cotai, Studio City’s rolling chip volumes totaled US$3.1 billion for the second quarter of 2019 versus US$6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018. The rolling chip win rate was 2.76% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 2.66% in the second quarter of 2018. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85% - 3.15%. Mass market table games drop increased to US$877.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with US$814.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. The mass market table games hold percentage was 29.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2018. Gaming machine handle for the second quarter of 2019 was US$630.9 million, compared with US$614.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The gaming machine win rate was 3.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 3.4% in the second quarter of 2018.

Revenues from the provision of gaming related services were US$101.1 million and US$70.2 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenues from the provision of gaming related services are net of gaming taxes and the costs incurred in connection with the operation of Studio City Casino deducted by the Gaming Operator pursuant to the Services and Right to Use Arrangements.

Total non-gaming revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were US$48.2 million, compared with US$54.8 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Total net non-operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were US$35.2 million, which mainly included interest expenses of US$33.4 million, compared to total net non-operating expenses of US$39.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, which mainly included interest expenses of US$40.1 million.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$44.6 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2019, of which US$0.8 million was related to the amortization expense for the land use right.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our total operating revenues were US$299.9 million, an increase of US$18.1 million, from US$281.8 million of total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in total operating revenues was mainly due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services.

Net loss attributable to Studio City Finance Limited for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was US$1.5 million, a decrease of US$7.7 million from a net loss attributable to Studio City Finance Limited of US$9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services and lower interest expenses as a result of the early redemption of the 2020 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$825.0 million net with the issuance of the Studio City Finance Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$600.0 million, partially offset by the increase in non-gaming operating expenses and property charges and other.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Up through the opening of Studio City, our principal sources of liquidity included shareholder equity contributions, loan facilities and senior notes facilities to meet our project development needs. Following the opening of Studio City in October 2015, we relied on, and intend to continue to rely on, cash generated from our operations and debt and equity financings to meet our financing or refinancing needs.

As of June 30, 2019, we held cash and cash equivalents of US$519.0 million, a bank deposit with original maturity over three months of US$60.2 million and restricted cash of US$29.4 million. Restricted cash represented the unspent cash from the capital injection for the remaining project for Studio City and certain bank account balances required to be maintained in accordance with the terms of the respective agreements of the Studio City Company Notes and the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility. Further, the HK$233.0 million (equivalent to approximately US$29.8 million) revolving credit facility under the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility is available for future drawdown as of June 30, 2019, subject to certain conditions precedent.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income and certain operating assets and liabilities, including the receivables related to the provision of gaming related services and hotel operations, as well as the non-gaming business, including food and beverage, entertainment, mall, retail and other, which are conducted primarily on a cash basis.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$39.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in operating activities of US$4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The change was attributable to higher contribution of cash generated from the improving operations of Studio City as described in the foregoing section and decreased working capital needed for operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$101.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of US$76.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change was primarily attributable to higher contribution of cash generated from the improving operations of Studio City as described in the foregoing section.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was US$74.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to US$32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The change was primarily due to the increase in placement of a bank deposit with original maturity over three months.

Net cash used in investing activities of US$74.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 mainly included the placement of a bank deposit with original maturity over three months of US$60.2 million, capital expenditure payments of US$12.3 million and funds to an affiliated company of US$1.3 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of US$32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 mainly included the placement of a bank deposit with original maturity over three months of US$20.0 million, capital expenditure payments of US$10.8 million and funds to an affiliated company of US$1.9 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was US$90.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to US$131.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditure payments, partially offset by an increase in net placement of bank deposits with original maturities over three months.

Net cash used in investing activities of US$90.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 mainly included the placement of a bank deposit with original maturity over three months of US$60.2 million, capital expenditure payments of US$25.1 million and funds to an affiliated company of US$4.4 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of US$131.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 mainly included capital expenditure payments of US$108.1 million, net placement of bank deposits with original maturities over three months of US$20.1 million and funds to an affiliated company of US$4.9 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to US$2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which represented the payment of debt issuance costs associated with the Studio City Finance Notes.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to US$165.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which primarily represented the proceeds from the issuance of the Studio City Finance Notes, partially offset by the payment for the 2020 Notes Tender Offer of US$216.5 million in aggregate principal amount and the redemption of the remaining 2020 Notes of US$208.5 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Although we have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas, our revenues and expenses are denominated predominantly in H.K. dollars and, in connection with a portion of our indebtedness and certain expenses, in U.S. dollars. The non-financial pages of this quarterly report include all translations from H.K. dollars to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to H.K. dollars at a rate of HK$7.8135 to US$1.00, unless otherwise noted.

The H.K. dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). Since October 17, 1983, the H.K. dollar has been officially linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80 to US$1.00. The market exchange rate has not deviated materially from the level of HK$7.80 to US$1.00 since the peg was first established. However, in May 2005, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority broadened the trading band from the original rate of HK$7.80 per U.S. dollar to a rate range of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar. The Hong Kong government has stated its intention to maintain the link at that rate, and, acting through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, has a number of means by which it may act to maintain exchange rate stability. However, no assurance can be given that the Hong Kong government will maintain the link at HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar or at all.

The noon buying rate on June 28, 2019 in New York City for cable transfers in H.K. dollars for U.S. dollars, provided in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was HK$7.8103 to US$1.00. On August 23, 2019, the noon buying rate was HK$7.8438 to US$1.00. We make no representation that any H.K. dollar or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or H.K. dollars, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

The Pataca is pegged to the H.K. dollar at a rate of HK$1.00 to MOP1.03. All translations from Pataca to U.S. dollar in the non-financial pages of this quarterly report were made at the exchange rate of MOP8.0479 to US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not certify for customs purposes a noon buying rate for cable transfers in Pataca.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in connection with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (Topic 842) (“New Leases Standard”) on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective method. Amounts for the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the New Leases Standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous basis. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected in the future. Certain statements in this “Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Studio City is a large-scale cinematically-themed integrated entertainment, retail and gaming resort which opened in October 2015. In the second quarter of 2019, Studio City operated an average of approximately 293 gaming tables and 985 gaming machines. The gaming operations of Studio City are focused on the mass market and target all ranges of mass market patrons. While Studio City focuses on the mass market segment for gaming, VIP rolling chip operations, including both junket and premium direct VIP offerings, were introduced at Studio City in early November 2016 and a VIP rolling chip area has been built at Studio City with 45 VIP tables as of June 30, 2019. Such VIP rolling chip operations are operated by the Gaming Operator. In January 2019, the Gaming Operator informed Studio City Entertainment that it will cease VIP gaming operations at the Studio City Casino in January 2020. Studio City will assess and evaluate its focus on different market segments from time to time and will adjust its operations as appropriate.

Studio City also includes luxury hotel offerings and various entertainment, retail and food and beverage outlets to attract a diverse range of customers. Designed to focus on the mass market segment, Studio City offers cinematically-themed, unique and innovative interactive attractions, including the world’s first figure-8 and Asia’s highest Ferris wheel, a Warner Bros.-themed family entertainment center, a 4-D Batman flight simulator, an exclusive night club and a 5,000-seat multi-purpose live performance arena, as well as approximately 1,600 luxury hotel rooms, various food and beverage outlets and themed and innovative retail space.

Studio City Casino is operated by the Gaming Operator, one of the subsidiaries of Melco and a holder of a gaming subconcession, and we operate the non-gaming businesses of Studio City.

Studio City sits within a ring-fenced credit group separate from its shareholders and Studio City’s debt obligations are not guaranteed by its shareholders. In particular, Melco is not a guarantor under the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Studio City Finance Notes or the Studio City Company Notes. As such, SCI and its shareholders are not contractually required to provide any additional financial support to Studio City with respect to the Studio City debt obligations.

Under our current plan, the remaining project is expected to consist of two hotel towers with approximately 900 rooms and suites and a gaming area. In addition, we currently envision the remaining project to also contain a waterpark with indoor and outdoor areas. Other non-gaming attractions expected to be part of the remaining project include MICE space, retail and food and beverage outlets and a cineplex. As of June 30, 2019, we have incurred approximately US$47.7 million of aggregate costs relating to the development of our remaining project, primarily related to the initial design and planning costs. Based on our current plan, we currently expect a development project budget of approximately US$1.35 billion to US$1.40 billion (exclusive of any pre-opening costs and financing costs). We expect to have significant capital expenditures in the future if we continue to expand our existing operations at Studio City and develop the remaining project.

In February 2018, we announced that the Macau government has granted an extension of the development period under the Studio City land concession contract. Pursuant to such extension, the development period for the land of Studio City has been extended to July 24, 2021. If we do not complete development by that time and the Macau government does not grant us an extension of the development period, we could be forced to forfeit all or part of our investment in Studio City, along with our interest in the land on which Studio City is located and the buildings and structures on such land.

The Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City for the three months ended June 30, 2019 referred to in Melco’s earnings release dated July 24, 2019 (“Melco’s earnings release”) is US$12.1 million more than the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this report. The Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this report includes certain intercompany charges that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City contained in the Melco’s earnings release. Such intercompany charges include, among other items, fees and shared service charges billed between the Company and its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Melco. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City included in the Melco’s earnings release does not reflect certain costs related to the VIP operations at Studio City Casino. Furthermore, the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City included in Melco’s earnings release includes operating income or losses generated at Studio City by SCI’s subsidiaries which are not our subsidiaries. Such operating income or losses are not included in the consolidated financials of our company.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

For the second quarter of 2019, our total operating revenues were US$149.4 million, an increase of US$24.4 million, from US$125.0 million of total operating revenues for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in total operating revenues was due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services, partially offset by lower non-gaming revenues.

Net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited for the second quarter of 2019 was US$3.1 million, a decrease of US$27.0 million from a net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited of US$30.1 million for the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services and lower interest expenses, partially offset by lower non-gaming revenues and higher property charges and other.

Studio City Casino generated gross gaming revenues of US$361.8 million and US$381.0 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Affected by the Macau market-wide VIP weakness, and by increasing competition in and around Cotai, Studio City’s rolling chip volumes totaled US$3.1 billion for the second quarter of 2019 versus US$6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018. The rolling chip win rate was 2.76% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 2.66% in the second quarter of 2018. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85% - 3.15%. Mass market table games drop increased to US$877.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with US$814.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. The mass market table games hold percentage was 29.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2018. Gaming machine handle for the second quarter of 2019 was US$630.9 million, compared with US$614.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The gaming machine win rate was 3.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 3.4% in the second quarter of 2018.

Revenues from the provision of gaming related services were US$101.1 million and US$70.2 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenues from the provision of gaming related services are net of gaming taxes and the costs incurred in connection with the operation of Studio City Casino deducted by the Gaming Operator pursuant to the Services and Right to Use Arrangements.

Total non-gaming revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were US$48.2 million, compared with US$54.8 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Total net non-operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were US$34.1 million, which mainly included interest expenses of US$30.4 million, compared to total net non-operating expenses of US$49.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, which mainly included interest expenses of US$49.7 million.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$43.3 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2019, of which US$0.8 million was related to the amortization expense for the land use right.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our total operating revenues were US$299.9 million, an increase of US$18.1 million, from US$281.8 million of total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in total operating revenues was mainly due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services.

Net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was US$48.6 million, an increase of US$23.1 million from a net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited of US$25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the higher interest expenses as a result of the write-off of unamortized advance discount upon the refinancing of the 2020 Studio City Intercompany Note net with the lower interest expense on Studio City Intercompany Note, increase in non-gaming operating expenses and property charges and other, partially offset by increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Up through the opening of Studio City, our principal sources of liquidity included shareholder equity contributions, loan facilities and senior notes facilities to meet our project development needs. Following the opening of Studio City in October 2015, we relied on, and intend to continue to rely on, cash generated from our operations and debt and equity financings to meet our financing or refinancing needs.

As of June 30, 2019, we held cash and cash equivalents of US$518.3 million, a bank deposit with original maturity over three months of US$60.2 million and restricted cash of US$29.4 million. Restricted cash represented the unspent cash from the capital injection for the remaining project for Studio City and certain bank account balances required to be maintained in accordance with the terms of the respective agreements of the Studio City Company Notes and the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility. Further, the HK$233.0 million (equivalent to approximately US$29.8 million) revolving credit facility under the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility is available for future drawdown as of June 30, 2019, subject to certain conditions precedent.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income and certain operating assets and liabilities, including the receivables related to the provision of gaming related services and hotel operations, as well as the non-gaming business, including food and beverage, entertainment, mall, retail and other, which are conducted primarily on a cash basis.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of US$13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$104.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of US$76.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was US$73.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to US$32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The change was primarily due to the increase in placement of a bank deposit with original maturity over three months.

Net cash used in investing activities of US$131.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 mainly included capital expenditure payments of US$108.1 million, net placement of bank deposits with original maturities over three months of US$20.1 million and funds to an affiliated company of US$4.9 million.

Cash provided by financing activities amounted to US$187.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which represented a loan from an affiliated company of US$164.7 million and capital contribution from shareholder of US$22.3 million.

Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performances or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We operate in a heavily regulated and evolving industry and have a highly leveraged business model. Moreover, we operate in Macau’s gaming sector, a market with intense competition, and therefore new risk factors may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of these factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) growth of the gaming market and visitations in Macau, (ii) capital and credit market volatility, (iii) local and global economic conditions, (iv) our anticipated growth strategies, (v) gaming authority and other governmental approvals and regulations and (vi) our future business development, results of operations and financial condition. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this quarterly report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Although we have certain expenses and revenues denominated in Patacas, our revenues and expenses are denominated predominantly in H.K. dollars and, in connection with a portion of our indebtedness and certain expenses, in U.S. dollars. The non-financial pages of this quarterly report include all translations from H.K. dollars to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to H.K. dollars at a rate of HK$7.8135 to US$1.00, unless otherwise noted.

The H.K. dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). Since October 17, 1983, the H.K. dollar has been officially linked to the U.S. dollar at the rate of HK$7.80 to US$1.00. The market exchange rate has not deviated materially from the level of HK$7.80 to US$1.00 since the peg was first established. However, in May 2005, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority broadened the trading band from the original rate of HK$7.80 per U.S. dollar to a rate range of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar. The Hong Kong government has stated its intention to maintain the link at that rate, and, acting through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, has a number of means by which it may act to maintain exchange rate stability. However, no assurance can be given that the Hong Kong government will maintain the link at HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per U.S. dollar or at all.

The noon buying rate on June 28, 2019 in New York City for cable transfers in H.K. dollars for U.S. dollars, provided in the H.10 weekly statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was HK$7.8103 to US$1.00. On August 23, 2019, the noon buying rate was HK$7.8438 to US$1.00. We make no representation that any H.K. dollar or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or H.K. dollars, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

The Pataca is pegged to the H.K. dollar at a rate of HK$1.00 to MOP1.03. All translations from Pataca to U.S. dollar in the non-financial pages of this quarterly report were made at the exchange rate of MOP8.0479 to US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not certify for customs purposes a noon buying rate for cable transfers in Pataca.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in connection with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (Topic 842) (“New Leases Standard”) on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective method. Amounts for the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the New Leases Standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous basis. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected in the future. Certain statements in this “Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Studio City is a large-scale cinematically-themed integrated entertainment, retail and gaming resort which opened in October 2015. In the second quarter of 2019, Studio City operated an average of approximately 293 gaming tables and 985 gaming machines. The gaming operations of Studio City are focused on the mass market and target all ranges of mass market patrons. While Studio City focuses on the mass market segment for gaming, VIP rolling chip operations, including both junket and premium direct VIP offerings, were introduced at Studio City in early November 2016 and a VIP rolling chip area has been built at Studio City with 45 VIP tables as of June 30, 2019. Such VIP rolling chip operations are operated by the Gaming Operator. In January 2019, the Gaming Operator informed Studio City Entertainment that it will cease VIP gaming operations at the Studio City Casino in January 2020. Studio City will assess and evaluate its focus on different market segments from time to time and will adjust its operations as appropriate.

Studio City also includes luxury hotel offerings and various entertainment, retail and food and beverage outlets to attract a diverse range of customers. Designed to focus on the mass market segment, Studio City offers cinematically-themed, unique and innovative interactive attractions, including the world’s first figure-8 and Asia’s highest Ferris wheel, a Warner Bros.-themed family entertainment center, a 4-D Batman flight simulator, an exclusive night club and a 5,000-seat multi-purpose live performance arena, as well as approximately 1,600 luxury hotel rooms, various food and beverage outlets and themed and innovative retail space.

Studio City Casino is operated by the Gaming Operator, one of the subsidiaries of Melco and a holder of a gaming subconcession, and we operate the non-gaming businesses of Studio City.

Studio City sits within a ring-fenced credit group separate from its shareholders and Studio City’s debt obligations are not guaranteed by its shareholders. In particular, Melco is not a guarantor under the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Studio City Finance Notes or the Studio City Company Notes. As such, SCI and its shareholders are not contractually required to provide any additional financial support to Studio City with respect to the Studio City debt obligations.

Under our current plan, the remaining project is expected to consist of two hotel towers with approximately 900 rooms and suites and a gaming area. In addition, we currently envision the remaining project to also contain a waterpark with indoor and outdoor areas. Other non-gaming attractions expected to be part of the remaining project include MICE space, retail and food and beverage outlets and a cineplex. As of June 30, 2019, we have incurred approximately US$47.7 million of aggregate costs relating to the development of our remaining project, primarily related to the initial design and planning costs. Based on our current plan, we currently expect a development project budget of approximately US$1.35 billion to US$1.40 billion (exclusive of any pre-opening costs and financing costs). We expect to have significant capital expenditures in the future if we continue to expand our existing operations at Studio City and develop the remaining project.

In February 2018, we announced that the Macau government has granted an extension of the development period under the Studio City land concession contract. Pursuant to such extension, the development period for the land of Studio City has been extended to July 24, 2021. If we do not complete development by that time and the Macau government does not grant us an extension of the development period, we could be forced to forfeit all or part of our investment in Studio City, along with our interest in the land on which Studio City is located and the buildings and structures on such land.

The Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City for the three months ended June 30, 2019 referred to in Melco’s earnings release dated July 24, 2019 (“Melco’s earnings release”) is US$12.1 million more than the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this report. The Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City contained in this report includes certain intercompany charges that are not included in the Adjusted EBITDA for Studio City contained in the Melco’s earnings release. Such intercompany charges include, among other items, fees and shared service charges billed between the Company and its subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries of Melco. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City included in the Melco’s earnings release does not reflect certain costs related to the VIP operations at Studio City Casino. Furthermore, the Adjusted EBITDA of Studio City included in Melco’s earnings release includes operating income or losses generated at Studio City by SCI’s subsidiaries which are not our subsidiaries. Such operating income or losses are not included in the consolidated financials of our company.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

For the second quarter of 2019, our total operating revenues were US$149.4 million, an increase of US$24.4 million, from US$125.0 million of total operating revenues for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in total operating revenues was due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services, partially offset by lower non-gaming revenues.

Net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited for the second quarter of 2019 was US$3.1 million, a decrease of US$27.0 million from a net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited of US$30.1 million for the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services and lower interest expenses, partially offset by lower non-gaming revenues and higher property charges and other.

Studio City Casino generated gross gaming revenues of US$361.8 million and US$381.0 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Affected by the Macau market-wide VIP weakness, and by increasing competition in and around Cotai, Studio City’s rolling chip volumes totaled US$3.1 billion for the second quarter of 2019 versus US$6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018. The rolling chip win rate was 2.76% in the second quarter of 2019 versus 2.66% in the second quarter of 2018. The expected rolling chip win rate range is 2.85% - 3.15%. Mass market table games drop increased to US$877.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with US$814.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. The mass market table games hold percentage was 29.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2018. Gaming machine handle for the second quarter of 2019 was US$630.9 million, compared with US$614.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. The gaming machine win rate was 3.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 3.4% in the second quarter of 2018.

Revenues from the provision of gaming related services were US$101.1 million and US$70.2 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenues from the provision of gaming related services are net of gaming taxes and the costs incurred in connection with the operation of Studio City Casino deducted by the Gaming Operator pursuant to the Services and Right to Use Arrangements.

Total non-gaming revenues for the second quarter of 2019 were US$48.2 million, compared with US$54.8 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Total net non-operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were US$34.1 million, which mainly included interest expenses of US$30.4 million, compared to total net non-operating expenses of US$49.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, which mainly included interest expenses of US$49.7 million.

Depreciation and amortization costs of US$43.3 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2019, of which US$0.8 million was related to the amortization expense for the land use right.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our total operating revenues were US$299.9 million, an increase of US$18.1 million, from US$281.8 million of total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in total operating revenues was mainly due to the increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services.

Net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was US$48.6 million, an increase of US$23.1 million from a net loss attributable to Studio City Investments Limited of US$25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the higher interest expenses as a result of the write-off of unamortized advance discount upon the refinancing of the 2020 Studio City Intercompany Note net with the lower interest expense on Studio City Intercompany Note, increase in non-gaming operating expenses and property charges and other, partially offset by increase in revenues from the provision of gaming related services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Up through the opening of Studio City, our principal sources of liquidity included shareholder equity contributions, loan facilities and senior notes facilities to meet our project development needs. Following the opening of Studio City in October 2015, we relied on, and intend to continue to rely on, cash generated from our operations and debt and equity financings to meet our financing or refinancing needs.

As of June 30, 2019, we held cash and cash equivalents of US$518.3 million, a bank deposit with original maturity over three months of US$60.2 million and restricted cash of US$29.4 million. Restricted cash represented the unspent cash from the capital injection for the remaining project for Studio City and certain bank account balances required to be maintained in accordance with the terms of the respective agreements of the Studio City Company Notes and the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility. Further, the HK$233.0 million (equivalent to approximately US$29.8 million) revolving credit facility under the 2021 Studio City Senior Secured Credit Facility is available for future drawdown as of June 30, 2019, subject to certain conditions precedent.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows are generally affected by changes in operating income and certain operating assets and liabilities, including the receivables related to the provision of gaming related services and hotel operations, as well as the non-gaming business, including food and beverage, entertainment, mall, retail and other, which are conducted primarily on a cash basis.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of US$13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US$104.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of US$76.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net cash used in investing activities was US$73.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to US$32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The change was primarily due to the increase in placement of a bank deposit with original maturity over three months.
