HONG KONG--()--Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”, “Company” or the “Group”) (HKEx stock code: 27) today reported results for the three month period ended 31 March 2021. (All amounts are expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise stated)

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF GALAXY ENTERTAINMENT GROUP

I wish to take this opportunity to update you on the status of Macau and the performance of GEG in Q1 2021. COVID-19 has continued to impact the community and businesses globally including Macau and GEG. We are encouraged by Macau’s gradual recovery and remain cautiously optimistic that business conditions will continue to improve, while, at the same time, remain hypersensitive about any future outbreaks of the pandemic. From the later part of 2020 and continuing into 2021, we started to see some easing of restrictions relating to COVID-19. As a result, Macau has experienced a gradual increase in visitor arrivals which has translated into increased revenue.

Group’s Q1 Adjusted EBITDA of $859 million more than tripled year-on-year and was down 15% quarter-on-quarter. Please note that even though Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2021 was less than Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2020, we are pleased with the outcome given that Q4 2020 included a one-off $100 million COVID-19 insurance claim. In addition, Construction Materials Division is historically seasonal softer in the first quarter compared to the other three quarters. Construction Materials Division contributed $156 million in Q1 2021 compared to $326 million in Q4 2020. This is an annual seasonal occurrence and we expect an improvement in Q2 2021. Further, GEG’s performance was also supported by continued effective cost controls across the Group.

We again applaud the Macau Government for their proactive leadership during the challenging pandemic crisis. Their focus is not only to ensure the health and safety of the community, but also ensuring that Macau is well positioned to attract visitors, support economic recovery and maintain the social stability of Macau. We are pleased that the Macau Government through the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has been actively touring numerous Mainland cities and actively promoting Macau. This marketing is positioning Macau’s track record in combating COVID-19, promoting the various health and safety measures implemented in Macau and offering special tourism and accommodation packages to encourage visitation to Macau. We will continue to work with and support this important government lead initiative.

On 15 May 2021, Galaxy Macau™ will celebrate an exceptional 10-year presence in Macau. Since our launch in 2011, Galaxy Macau™ has delivered the highest level of entertainment and leisure options and provided exceptional experiences to our guests from all over the world. We are pleased to report that we continue to make good progress with our expansion plans through our development projects including Cotai Phases 3 & 4. In addition, we continue renovate, reconfigure and introduce new products to our resorts and we remain engaged in our international expansion plans including Japan, which is also being impacted by the pandemic.

We were pleased to announce in March 2021 the introduction of the legendary Raffles at Galaxy Macau. Raffles at Galaxy Macau will feature an approximate 450 all-suite tower and is targeted to open in the later part of 2021 or early 2022. The addition of Raffles further expands GEG’s portfolio of world-class accommodation offerings.

Our balance sheet continues to remain healthy with $42.4 billion in cash and liquid investments as at the end of Q1 and $33.6 billion of net cash. Total debt was $8.8 billion, including $8.3 billion associated with our treasury yield enhancement program and $0.5 billion of core debt. Our conservative financial management provides the Group with valuable flexibility in managing our ongoing operations and allows us to continue with our longer term development plans.

Going forward in the medium to longer term, we remain confident in the future of Macau. We have seen signs of early recovery post the reinstatement of the Individual Visit Scheme (“IVS”) in late September 2020 and it may take a few more quarters for business volumes to ramp up. However, we do acknowledge the ongoing difficulties associated with COVID-19 and potential future flare ups of COVID-19 could have a material adverse impact on our financial performance.

Finally, I would again like to acknowledge and thank the Government of Macau 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 during this period of time. Thank you!

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. We are proceeding with the development of Phases 3 & 4 and continue to review and refine plans to ensure a world-class optimal development. We see the premium market evolving with this segment preferring higher quality and more spacious rooms. 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. We will try to maintain our development targets, however due to COVID-19, development timelines may be impacted. At this point we cannot quantify the impact but we will endeavor to maintain our schedule.

The Group was pleased to announce in March 2021 the signing of a collaboration agreement with Accor for Raffles, the legendary brand that has set the standard in luxury hospitality for more than 130 years. We will welcome the iconic brand with the addition and target opening of an exclusive all-suite tower, Raffles at Galaxy Macau in the later part of 2021 or early 2022. Raffles at Galaxy Macau, will feature an approximate 450 all-suite tower and is the latest chapter in the storied history of the legendary Raffles brand and will soon introduce a new level of sophistication and refinement to Macau.

Greater Bay Area / Hengqin

We understand the strategic master plan might have been revised with more emphasis on strengthening ties with Macau’s plan for the future and the Macau community. It was reported that more information will be available shortly and we are eagerly awaiting the details. In addition, we are expanding our focus beyond Hengqin and Macau to potentially include opportunities within the rapidly expanding Greater Bay Area.

International

Our Japan based team continues with our Japan development efforts even as they deal with the COVID-19 crisis. We view Japan as a long term growth opportunity that will complement our Macau operations and our other international expansion ambitions. GEG, together with Monte-Carlo SBM from the Principality of Monaco and our Japanese partners, remain interested in bringing our brand of World Class IRs to Japan.

Outlook

We are pleased with the progressive reinstatement of the IVS visas in Mainland through Q3 2020 and we have seen a steady recovery post Chinese New Year. The Macau Government is working closely with the Mainland authorities toward resuming approval of the online IVS visa application process and the reintroduction of package tours.

The Macau Government has an outstanding track record on handling the challenging pandemic crisis. Their focus is not only to ensure the health and safety of the community, but also ensuring that Macau is well positioned as a quality destination to attract visitors, support economic recovery and maintain the social stability of Macau. We believe that when Mainland and international tourists make future travel plans, health and safety will be foremost in their minds.

We look forward to the launching of the public consultation on the proposed amendments to Macau’s gaming law in the second half of this year. Additionally, the Macau SAR Legislative Assembly election will take place on 12 September 2021.

Recently, the Central Government announced that it was exploring a Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) project and a further discussion of using RMB digital currency. We are encouraged by this concept and support this government initiative, and we look forward to learning more about their plans.

From 1 March 2021, a new criminal law was introduced in Mainland China. We expect the new law to have significant impact on the VIP business and junket players. GEG is fully compliant with the laws and regulations of the locations where it has commercial activities. The Central Government has stressed that it wants the gaming industry of Macau to have a healthy development and diversify. GEG supports a more transparent and regulated operational environment that will benefit the development of the industry in the longer term.

GEG is ready to capture future growth with our substantial development pipeline. These include the ongoing development of Cotai Phases 3 & 4 which are specifically designed to capture a larger share of the Mass business. We continue to renovate our existing properties, reconfigure and introduce new products into our resorts to ensure they remain highly competitive and appealing to our valuable guests.

These projects will support Macau’s economy in both the near and longer term. We remain engaged in our international expansion plans including Japan. We understand that due to the impact of COVID-19, Japan has revised their timeline of Integrated Resorts licenses and we remain interested in introducing our brands to Japan. We have great confidence in Macau and we will continue with our development program. Whilst we remain confident, we are conscious that potential future flare ups of COVID-19 could impact the rate of Macau’s recovery. GEG remains committed to support the Government’s vision to develop Macau into a World Center of Tourism and Leisure.
