HONG KONG, Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”, “Company” or the “Group”) (HKEx stock code: 27) today reported results for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended 31 December 2023. (All amounts are expressed in HKD unless otherwise stated).
Dr. Lui Che Woo, Chairman of GEG said:
“Today I am pleased to provide an update on our financial results for Q4 and full year 2023. At GEG, we continue to drive every segment of the business with a particular focus on the mass business and continue to allocate resources to their most efficient use. Our efforts are reflected in full year Adjusted EBITDA of $10.0 billion, versus $(0.6) billion in 2022. This was despite continuing competition in both Macau and regionally and a number of geo-political and economic issues that impacted consumer sentiment.
Our balance sheet continued to be solid with total cash and liquid investments of $25.0 billion and net cash of $23.5 billion as of 31 December 2023. We paid a special dividend of $0.20 per share on 27 October 2023 and we are pleased to announce another special dividend of $0.30 per share to be paid on or about 26 April 2024. We are the first Macau concessionaire to resume dividends and return capital to shareholders after the border reopened. These dividends demonstrate our continued confidence in the longer-term outlook of Macau and for the Company. Our solid balance sheet and cash flow from operations allows us to fund our development pipeline and pursue our international expansion ambitions.
In 2023 GEG had a busy year with the completion of multiple development projects. These included the opening of the 450 all-suite Raffles at Galaxy Macau and the new premium mass Horizon Club, the opening of both the Galaxy International Convention Centre (“GICC”) and Galaxy Arena. The progressive opening of Andaz Macau was fully opened prior to Chinese New Year 2024. In 2023, GEG held approximately 200 MICE events and 85 concerts and performances across GICC, Galaxy Arena and Broadway Theatre.
Moving to Phase 4, we continue to progress with its construction. Phase 4 is approximately 600,000 square meters of development and is scheduled to complete in 2027. Phase 4 will include multiple high-end hotel brands new to Macau, together with a 4000-seat theater, extensive F&B, retail, non-gaming amenities, landscaping, a water resort deck and a casino, which is targeted to capture the ongoing expanding market that seeks a more encompassing lifestyle experience.
Furthermore, we are actively working with the MGTO to develop international markets. We are aligning our business accordingly and supporting the Government’s vision. Non-gaming is focused on attracting a broader range of customers to our resorts, leveraging our existing facilities and growing the overall market. These efforts will take time and we are doing our best. GEG has opened overseas offices in Tokyo and Seoul in 2023, and will soon be opening another office in Bangkok. The competition for high-value international tourists is significant and we will strive to support this Government initiative.
Macau’s Gross Gaming Revenue (“GGR”) for 2023 exceeded MOP1801 billion. In accordance with the gaming concession agreement, the six concessionaires will increase their investment commitments by 20% over the term of the concession. This demonstrates our support to the Government in developing Macau into the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
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.”

In Q4 2023, Broadway Macau’s Net Revenue was $38 million, up 100% year-on-year and up 58% quarter-on-quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $(2) million, versus $(10) million in Q4 2022 and $(14) million in Q3 2023.

In Hong Kong CMD experienced strong demand for ready-mixed concrete and precast products from the Hong Kong International Airport’s three runway project and associated infrastructure development. The contractors have been working to accelerate the project to catch up from COVID-19 related construction delays. In Macau, the development works in Zone A reclamation area compensated for a softening of local market demand for ready-mixed concrete and piles. Business in Mainland China was adversely impacted by the slowing of property development. It is anticipated that demand in Mainland China will remain subdued in the immediate future.
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 with a particular focus on adding new and innovative F&B and retail offerings.
We are actively reconfiguring the main gaming floor of Galaxy Macau™ to deliver a better flow of people across the entire floor and to provide an enhanced customer experience. In late 2023, we relocated the central premium mass high limit gaming area and added a number of F&B options. We are also currently completing the construction of a new high limit slot area and other amenities.
At StarWorld Macau we are evaluating a range of major upgrades, that includes the main gaming floor, the lobby arrival experience and increasing the F&B options.
Cotai – The Next Chapter
We have successfully opened GICC, Galaxy Arena, Raffles at Galaxy Macau and Andaz Macau. We are now firmly focused on the development of Phase 4, which is already well under way. Phase 4 will include multiple high-end hotel brands new to Macau, together with a 4000-seat theater, extensive F&B, retail, non-gaming amenities, landscaping, a water resort deck and a casino. Phase 4 is approximately 600,000 square meters of development and is scheduled to complete in 2027. We will continue to adjust the development timeline in accordance with the market demand. We remain highly confident about the future of Macau where Phases 3 & 4 will support Macau’s vision of becoming a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.

Outlook
We would like to take this opportunity to comment on how we see the longer-term outlook for Macau in general and GEG specifically. Our balance sheet remains exceptionally strong with $23.5 billion net cash and with minimal debt. We have substantial positive cash flow from operations, and we have positive NPAS. In fact, the strength of our Company can be demonstrated with today’s announcement of another dividend to be payable in April this year.
Our resorts continue to remain extremely popular with near 100% occupancy across our approximately 5,000 hotel rooms. Our mass gaming drop and revenue in the recent Chinese New Year was 120% of 2019 level. Total visitation for the 8-day Chinese New Year was 1.4 million with daily average visitation of 167,725. Daily visitation rose 163% when compared with 2023 Chinese New Year Golden Week. Mainland visitors represented 76% of the total visitation, it has grown about 242% when compared with 2023 Chinese New Year Golden Week.
The Macau Government will spend an estimated MOP235 million this year to attract international visitors to Macau by actively promoting Macau in overseas destinations through roadshows and subsidizing airline tickets to Macau. We are actively supporting this important Government initiative through both attending their international marketing event and opening GEG international business development offices within the region. Macau welcomed 28 million visitors in 2023 and the MGTO expects Macau will receive around 33 million visitors in 2024.
We continue with the development of Phase 4, which we target to open in 2027. Phase 4 is the next generation integrated resort which has a strong focus on non-gaming, targeting entertainment, family facilities and also includes gaming. These projects will complete our ecosystem in Cotai and strategically position GEG for future growth.
Infrastructure continues to improve access to Macau and movement within Macau. The fourth cross-sea bridge linking Macau Peninsula and Taipa is expected to be completed in 2024. Furthermore, Light Rail Transit’s new Macau Barra station, which connects Taipa with the Macau peninsula, opened in December 2023. The improvement of infrastructure will increase the accessibility and convenience for tourists and Macau citizens.
We remain very confident in the longer-term outlook for Macau and believe that our resorts offer a unique range of facilities and experiences to our guests that will continue to attract high value customers to Macau and further broaden the addressable visitor markets.
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 in 2024. 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.
Shorter term we acknowledge that globally the world is experiencing both geo-political and economic challenges that are impacting consumers and investors sentiment. However, we remain cautiously optimistic on the future of Macau and GEG. We still continue to explore overseas development opportunities on a case by case basis, but continue to believe that Macau offers the greatest growth opportunity.

When The Next Chapter of its Cotai development is completed, GEG’s resorts footprint on Cotai will be more than 2 million square meters, making the resorts, entertainment and MICE precinct one of the largest and most diverse integrated destinations in the world. GEG is also progressing plans for its Hengqin project and we are also expanding our focus beyond Hengqin and Macau to potentially include opportunities within the rapidly expanding Greater Bay Area. These projects will help GEG develop and support Macau in its vision of becoming a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
In July 2015, GEG made a strategic investment in Société Anonyme des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Étrangers à Monaco (“Monte-Carlo SBM”), a world renowned owner and operator of iconic luxury hotels and resorts in the Principality of Monaco. GEG continues to explore a range of international development opportunities with Monte-Carlo SBM.
GEG is committed to delivering world class unique experiences to its guests and building a sustainable future for the communities in which it operates. For more information about the Group, please visit www.galaxyentertainment.com
