The data reveals notable fluctuations in the profitability of the company over the five-year period. Both net income attributable to the company and net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) follow a similar trajectory, indicating consistent trends in core profitability measures.
- 2018 to 2019
- There is a positive growth trend in profitability. Net income increased from 2413 million USD to 2698 million USD, while NOPAT grew from 3351 million USD to 3870 million USD. This indicates improved operational efficiency and overall financial performance during this period.
- 2019 to 2020
- A significant decline is evident, with net income shifting from a strong positive figure to a substantial loss of 1685 million USD. Similarly, NOPAT declined sharply to a negative value of 1708 million USD. This suggests a severe disruption in operations or adverse market conditions affecting profitability.
- 2020 to 2021
- While still negative, there is an improvement in financial results compared to 2020. Net income losses reduced to 961 million USD and NOPAT losses to 1040 million USD, indicating a partial recovery or better cost management despite continuing challenges.
- 2021 to 2022
- Profitability returns to positive territory, with net income reported at 1832 million USD. However, NOPAT remains negative at 997 million USD, though with an improvement relative to previous years. This disparity may point to differences in tax effects or non-operating items influencing net income positively.
Overall, the data highlights a period marked by major volatility. Initial growth gave way to steep declines and losses in 2020 and 2021, likely reflecting exceptional external pressures. The return to positive net income in 2022 signals a potential stabilization or recovery phase, despite ongoing operational challenges as suggested by the continued negative NOPAT.
Cash Operating Taxes

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31).
The financial data reveals distinct fluctuations in tax-related expenses and cash outflows over the analyzed period.
- Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
- From 2018 to 2019, there is a marked increase in income tax expense, rising from 375 million to 468 million US dollars. This trend reversed sharply in 2020 and 2021, where the figures turned negative, indicating income tax benefits (or credits) of 38 million and 5 million US dollars respectively. In 2022, the tax expense reverted to a positive amount of 154 million US dollars, though it remained significantly lower than the pre-2020 levels.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes show a somewhat different pattern. There is an initial decline from 370 million US dollars in 2018 to 431 million US dollars in 2019, after which a steep reduction is noted in 2020 to 110 million US dollars. Despite the partial recovery to 172 million in 2021, the cash operating taxes notably increase in 2022, reaching 305 million US dollars. Despite this increase, the 2022 level remains below levels seen in 2018 and 2019.
Overall, the data indicates a significant impact on income tax expense and cash tax payments from 2020 onward, possibly linked to external or extraordinary factors influencing taxable income and tax payment obligations. While income tax expense shifted into credits during 2020 and 2021, cash operating taxes, although reduced, remained positive with an upward trend resuming in 2022. This reflects variability in tax dynamics, suggesting changing profitability or tax regulation impacts during these years.

- Total reported debt & leases
-
The total reported debt and leases exhibit an overall upward trend from 2018 to 2022. Starting at 13,299 million USD in 2018, the figure slightly decreased to 12,825 million USD in 2019. However, it then increased consistently over the next three years, reaching 14,330 million USD in 2020, 14,963 million USD in 2021, and peaking at 16,148 million USD in 2022. This pattern indicates a gradual increase in the company’s leverage over the period, with a notable rise following 2019.
- Total Las Vegas Sands Corp. stockholders’ equity
-
The stockholders’ equity experienced a declining trend from 2018 through 2021, indicative of a reduction in the company's net worth ascribed to shareholders. Equity decreased from 5,684 million USD in 2018 to 5,187 million USD in 2019, then sharply declined to 2,973 million USD in 2020 and further to 1,996 million USD in 2021. In 2022, there was a partial recovery with equity increasing to 3,881 million USD. Despite this improvement, the 2022 equity remains significantly lower than the initial 2018 level.
- Invested capital
-
Invested capital showed a declining trend from 19,047 million USD in 2018 to 15,828 million USD in 2021, which may reflect reduced asset base or adjustments in the company’s capital structure. However, in 2022, invested capital increased to 18,926 million USD, nearly returning to the initial level observed in 2018. This suggests that after several years of contraction, there was a resurgence in the resources dedicated to the company's operations or investments in 2022.
- Overall observations
-
Throughout the period from 2018 to 2022, the company increased its debt and lease obligations, indicating a growing reliance on external financing. Concurrently, stockholders’ equity declined significantly until 2021 but partially rebounded in 2022, potentially reflecting changes such as retained earnings, losses or capital injections. Invested capital contracted steadily until 2021, then expanded in 2022, suggesting renewed investment activity or asset acquisition. The trends imply a period of financial adjustment and restructuring through 2020 and 2021, followed by an attempt to stabilize and strengthen the balance sheet in 2022.
