LVS' Singapore EBITDA Flow-Through Strengthens: What's Supporting It?

Las Vegas Sands Corp. LVS closed 2025 with clear evidence of strong operating leverage at Marina Bay Sands, reinforcing Singapore’s role as the company’s primary earnings engine. LVS reported a record $806 million of EBITDA from the property in the fourth quarter of 2025, with full-year EBITDA coming at approximately $2.9 billion. The results underscore Marina Bay Sands’ ability to convert revenue growth into profitability, even as operating conditions across global gaming markets remain uneven.

This performance reflects the underlying economics of the Singapore operation, where the cost structure scales efficiently as volumes increase. As gaming volumes, hotel occupancy and non-gaming activity strengthened through 2025, incremental revenues were absorbed across a largely stable operating framework. This dynamic likely supported earnings growth, with EBITDA remaining resilient despite inflationary pressures and the impact of the higher mass gaming tax rate.

LVS also pointed to disciplined cost management and the high-quality mix of Singapore revenues as supporting factors. Premium mass gaming, strong room rates and resilient non-gaming demand continued to drive revenue growth without requiring proportionate increases in operating spend. Unlike Macao, where promotional intensity and mix shifts toward premium and rolling play have pressured margins, Singapore’s operating environment has supported more efficient EBITDA flow-through.

Looking ahead, the efficient conversion of revenues into earnings supports a more balanced consolidated earnings profile for LVS. While regional performance remains mixed, Marina Bay Sands’ ability to generate structurally high-margin EBITDA highlights the efficiency embedded within the Singapore operating model. As revenues continue to build on a cost base that remains well-contained relative to growth, EBITDA contribution from Singapore is becoming an increasingly visible and durable component of LVS’ overall financial framework.
