Continue Effectively Controlling Costs & Remains Financially Healthy

Continue Investing in Macau�s Future with Cotai Phases 3 & 4

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galaxy Entertainment Group (�GEG�, �Company� or the �Group�) (HKEx stock code: 27) today reported results for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2022. (All amounts are expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise stated)


LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF GALAXY ENTERTAINMENT GROUP

I appreciate the opportunity to update you on GEG�s most recent activities and financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2022. We continue to support the Macau Government by providing hotels for quarantine and medical personnel. We would also like to acknowledge and thank our staff for participating in our various voluntary community programs.

We are pleased to report that we successfully applied for and was granted an extension of our Macau gaming concession, which has been extended to the end of December 2022. The Government subsequently announced the tendering process on 29 July 2022 with submissions due by 14 September 2022. We are well positioned to compete for one of the Macau�s gaming concessions, given our track record of introducing innovative non-gaming elements into our resorts, our strong operational history, significant investment into Macau�s economy and our substantial CSR efforts including supporting SMEs. We look forward for the completion of the concession bidding process by year end.

A number of cities across China experienced travel restrictions for a significant part of the first half of 2022. These restrictions on inter-provincial travel impacted visitation to Macau and in turn adversely impacted both revenue and profitability. In addition, Macau experienced a COVID-19 outbreak and the Macau Government requested suspension of all commercial activities from 11 to 22 July 2022 which further impacted visitation, revenue and profitability. In Q2 2022, Group Net Revenue was $2.4 billion, down 56% year-on-year and down 41% quarter-on-quarter. Group Adjusted EBITDA was $(0.4) billion, versus $1.1 billion in Q2 2021 and $0.6 billion in Q1 2022.

Our balance sheet remains liquid and healthy. As of 30 June 2022, cash and liquid investments were $29.0 billion and net cash was $20.3 billion. Core debt remains relatively unchanged at $0.3 billion. This provides us with valuable flexibility in managing operations and supporting our development initiatives. Given the ongoing impact of COVID-19, today the Board of Directors has decided not to declare a dividend. We paid the previously announced special dividend of $0.30 per share on 29 April 2022.

During the quarter, we optimized our City Club operations and ceased business at Rio Casino and President Casino. All gaming related staff have been reassigned to our other properties.

Moving on to our development update, we continue to make ongoing progressive enhancements to our resorts to ensure that they remain competitive and appealing to our guests. We also continue to invest in Macau with our Cotai Phase 3 effectively completed and continue to move forward with Phase 4, our next generation integrated resort, which will complete our ecosystem in Cotai. As you can see, we remain confident about the future of Macau where Cotai Phases 3 & 4 will support Macau�s vision of becoming a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.

Going forward in the medium to longer term, we remain confident in the future of Macau. However, we do acknowledge that further potential outbreaks of COVID-19 may impact our future financial performance. Finally, I would again like to thank the Macau Government and the health and emergency personnel who have worked so hard to ensure the safety of Macau. I would also like to thank our staff, management team and Board of Directors who voluntarily contributed to the various cost savings programs and for being so supportive of our Company throughout the pandemic. Thank you.

Balance Sheet and Dividend

Due to our conservative financial management, our balance sheet continues to remain strong. As of 30 June 2022, cash and liquid investments were $29.0 billion and net cash was $20.3 billion. Total debt was $8.7 billion which primarily reflects our ongoing treasury yield management initiatives where interest income on cash holdings exceeds corresponding borrowing costs. Core debt remained minimal at $0.3 billion. This provides us with valuable flexibility in managing our ongoing operations and allows us to continue investing in our longer term development plans. Given the ongoing impact of COVID-19, today the Board of Directors has decided not to declare a dividend. We paid the previously announced special dividend of $0.30 per share on 29 April 2022.

Construction Materials Division

Construction Materials Division (�CMD�) contributed Adjusted EBITDA of $289 million in 1H 2022, down 35% year-on-year. CMD delivered a solid performance in Q2 2022 with Adjusted EBITDA of $170 million, down 41% year-on-year and up 43% quarter-on-quarter. During Q2 2022 the sale of construction materials was impacted by the various COVID-19 lockdowns within Mainland China and associated temporary suspension of construction sites.

Development Update

Galaxy Macau� and StarWorld Macau

We continue to make ongoing progressive enhancements to our resorts to ensure that they remain competitive and appealing to our guests.

Cotai � The Next Chapter

GEG is uniquely positioned for long term growth. Phase 3 is effectively completed and we look forward to welcoming the iconic Raffles at Galaxy Macau through an exclusive 450 all-suite tower. We will align the opening with prevailing market conditions. We intend to follow this with the opening of the GICC and Andaz Macau in anticipation of the recovery of the MICE and entertainment markets.

We are now firmly focused on the development of Phase 4, which is already well under way. We see the premium market evolving with this segment preferring higher quality and more spacious rooms. We continue to proceed with the construction of Cotai Phase 4, our next generation integrated resort, which will complete our ecosystem in Cotai.

Phases 3 & 4 combined will have approximately 3,000 high end and family rooms and villas, 400,000 square feet of MICE space, a 500,000 square feet 16,000-seat multi-purpose arena, F&B, retail and casinos, among others. As you can see, we remain highly confident about the future of Macau where Cotai Phases 3 & 4 will support Macau�s vision of becoming a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.

Outlook

Despite the recent challenging experience in Macau, we remain confident in the longer term outlook for Macau in general and GEG specifically. Macau experienced a COVID-19 outbreak that resulted in the suspension of casinos for a period of 12 days in July 2022. During this difficult period, the Macau Government has continued to demonstrate their prompt and decisive action. We greatly appreciated their efforts and thank all of the health and emergency personnel and volunteers. Macau�s public health and safety as well as economic and social stability remains the Government�s highest priority.

We continue to support the Macau Government�s COVID-19 prevention efforts, by providing hotels for quarantine and medical personnel. We continue to support the community and local employment including the reopening of our casinos on 23 July 2022. We would also like to acknowledge and thank our staff for participating in our various voluntary community programs.

Our balance sheet continues to remain healthy and solid with net cash of $20.3 billion. Core debt remained minimal with zero debt associated with our Macau operations. We are well positioned to navigate through the pandemic.

We continue to support the economic development of Macau through our Cotai Phases 3 & 4 projects which positions us strongly for the future growth in leisure and tourism demand from Mainland China. The Central Government continues to support the further integration of Greater Bay Area through the development of infrastructure. The new Guangzhou Metro Line 18 Southern Extension Line which connects Nansha to Zhuhai is starting ground preparation work. This will further increase the connectivity between Guangdong Province and Macau. In the medium to longer term, we have great confidence in the future of Macau. But in the shorter term, the reoccurrence of COVID-19 outbreaks may continue to impact visitor arrivals and associated revenues, as well as our future financial performance.
