UP 49% YEAR-ON-YEAR, UP 1% QUARTER-ON-QUARTER

ANNOUNCED THE BRANDING OF CAPELLA AT GALAXY MACAU

PAID A SPECIAL DIVIDEND OF $0.30 PER SHARE ON 26 APRIL 2024

HONG KONG, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”, “Company” or the “Group”) (HKEx stock code: 27) today reported results for the three-month period ended 31 March 2024. (All amounts are expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise stated)

Dr. Lui Che Woo, Chairman of GEG said:

“Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with a broad market overview and a review of the financial performance of GEG in Q1 2024. During Q1 2024, we made substantial adjustments to Galaxy MacauTM's gaming floor, in the shorter term this was disruptive for the month of January and the early part of February. The renovation was completed just prior to Chinese New Year. With the completion of this renovation, we have seen a significant improvement in the flow of customer traffic across the entire floor.

Across our portfolio, we are in the process of implementing smart tables which will drive further efficiency across the gaming floor. Additionally, we are updating our slot machine products and we are working on a range of upgrades to StarWorld Macau.  

Moving onto our financial performance, the Group Net Revenue in Q1 2024 was $10.6 billion, up 50% year-on-year and up 2% quarter-on-quarter; Adjusted EBITDA was $2.8 billion, up 49% year-on-year and up 1% quarter-on-quarter. We were particularly encouraged with our casino performance over the May Golden Week and post the reconfiguration of Galaxy MacauTM's gaming floor.

Our balance sheet remained healthy and liquid. As of Q1 2024, cash and liquid investments were $26.4 billion and the net position was $25.0 billion after debt of $1.4 billion. We recently paid the previously announced special dividend of $0.30 per share on 26 April 2024.

We were pleased to announce the addition of the Group's tenth hotel brand – Capella Hotels and Resorts. The 17-storey Capella at Galaxy Macau is expected to open in mid-2025 and offers approximately 100 ultra-luxury sky villas and suites. This represents our continued commitment to delivering unparalleled experiential luxury to our guests in Macau and supporting the Government's vision to develop Macau into the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.

We are very pleased to welcome the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 25th anniversary of Macau's return to the Motherland this year. We hope that the industry will continue to receive the full support of the Central Government and the Macau SAR Government. As always GEG will support these important milestones with a range of supportive promotional activities and events. And we are pleased to see that all those new initiatives on expanding Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) and visa policies may increase tourism to Macau.

Finally, I would like to thank all our team members who deliver ‘World Class, Asian Heart' service each and every day and contribute to the success of the Group.”

Outlook

During 2024 Macau has continued to experience an ongoing recovery with both growth in visitor numbers and associated revenues. The recovery has been predominately led by the premium segment. We still see pent up demand from Mainland, particularity for tourism, leisure and travel and Macau remains one of the top choices for travel destinations by Mainland Chinese.

The Central Government continues to strongly support Macau this is evidenced by the recent expansion of the existing IVS to include an additional 10 cities. This brings the total number of Chinese cities under the IVS to 59 cities, with a combined total population of over 490 million.

Further, The National Immigration Administration of China introduced new measures for Mainlanders including residents from 20 large cities to be able to update or reissue their travel documents entirely online, Mainlanders who participate in exhibitions or art performances can apply “other” visa type for multiple-entry visits to Macau for one year, and multi-entry tour visas within 7 days for Mainlanders who participated in Hengqin-Macau group tours. These new measures were effective from 6 May 2024.    

Infrastructure to both access Macau and to move throughout Macau continues to improve. In February the Jinhai Avenue Bridge and Zhuhai Urban-Airport Intercity Railway Phase 2 were officially opened. This is a new bridge that directly connect the Zhuhai airport to Hengqin Island and allows cars and trains to travel from the Zhuhai airport to Hengqin in about 15 minutes.

The Zhuhai airport connects to 50 plus cities in China and will have a capacity of 27.5 million passengers when terminal 2 is completed this year. In comparison, the Macau airport connects to 48 cities in China and has a capacity of 10 million passengers. Within Macau the fourth cross-harbor bridge is expected to open later this year and connects the peninsula to Cotai which will allow easier travel within Macau.

The Macau Government through its tourism authority in combination with the six concessionaires continues to actively promote Macau both within Mainland China and Asia. To support these initiatives GEG has opened overseas business development offices in Tokyo and Seoul and is soon to open an office in Bangkok. This is in-line with our commitment to the Government to further increase the number and flow of high value international visitors to Macau.

We continue to ramp up the newly opened Phase 3 development with a particular focus on events and entertainment shows. The development of Phase 4 continues and will greatly expand our capacity within Macau. We continue to remain confident in the outlook for Macau and are committed to supporting the Macau Government's vision to develop Macau into the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
