Paid An Interim Dividend Of $0.70 Per Share In October 2025

Continues To Ramp Up Capella At Galaxy Macau And Progressing With The Fitting Out Of Phase 4

HONG KONG, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”, “Company” or the “Group”) (HKEx stock code: 27) today reported results for the three-month period ended 30 September 2025. (All amounts are expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise stated)

Mr. Francis Lui, Chairman of GEG said:

“Today I am pleased to report the third quarter 2025 results for the Group. In Q3 2025 Group Net Revenue increased 14% year-on-year to $12.2 billion and Adjusted EBITDA increased 14% year-on-year to $3.3 billion.

I wish to bring to your attention two events that occurred during the third quarter that impacted Gross Gaming Revenue (‘GGR’) and in turn Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. The first event involves seasonality, where September is typically a slower month as many visitors defer their planned trips to October to coincide with the Golden Week holidays. The second event was Typhoon Ragasa. This typhoon resulted in the Government mandating that all casinos officially closed for 33 hours. 33 hours may not seem an extended period of time, however potential visitors canceled their visits in advance over concerns of the potential impact of Typhoon Ragasa and after the typhoon it takes a few days before people commence to plan their next trip.

Our balance sheet remains healthy and liquid. Total cash and liquid investments were $36.8 billion and the net position was $34.8 billion after debt of $2.0 billion. Our solid balance sheet and cash flow from operations allows us to return capital to shareholders through dividends, fund our development pipeline and pursue our international expansion ambitions. In October 2025, we paid the previously announced interim dividend of $0.70 per share. This dividend demonstrates our continued confidence in the longer-term outlook of Macau and for the Company.

GEG continues to support the Macau Government's goal to develop Macau into a ‘City of Performing Arts’ by hosting world-class events across various categories and acclaimed concert singers. We believe this will help to boost Macau’s tourism, retail, as well as hotel spending, contributing to Macau’s evolvement into the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure. In Q3, we hosted multiple mega entertainment events including the ‘King of Asian Pop’ Eason Chan’s Concert and America’s comedy star Jimmy O. Yang’s performance in Macau. For the first nine months of 2025, we have held approximately 260 entertainment, sports, arts and culture, and MICE events, which contributed to a 41% year-on-year increase in the foot traffic at Galaxy Macau™ and contributed significantly to our business.

Post Q3 in October, two popular singers, Luhan and Jackson Wang performed at Galaxy Arena, and the world-renowned Chinese pianist, Yundi Li made his debut with Galaxy Music Gala at Galaxy International Convention Center (‘GICC’). Additionally, we will support the National Games by hosting its Table Tennis Competition in Galaxy Arena. Further, we have signed a four-year strategic partnership with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (‘UFC’) to bring UFC Fight Nights to Galaxy Arena, as well as renewed a three-year strategic partnership with TMElive (Tencent Music) to co-host multifaceted popular music events. We have also renewed a three-year cooperation agreement with Damai Entertainment under Alibaba Group and Macau Pass for events ticketing. We remain optimistic about mega events tourism in the future.

Over the past 18 months we have been investing heavily into technology. This has included the implementation of smart tables, consolidating data information and deepening our data analytics capability. The purpose of these programs is to ensure that we more fully understand our customers and that we are in a position to provide the best service and experience to our valuable guests. We want to make informed customer decisions based upon ‘hard data’ and not a ‘gut impression’. We have already seen economic benefits from these investments and we will continue to drive each and every segment of the business.

GEG announced that Waldo Casino ceased operations on 31 October 2025. In alignment with Macau Government policies, GEG is committed to safeguarding local employment. In addition to being able to retain the same position, employees have also been offered the opportunity to explore a range of career paths if they wish to do so and they received support for their transition into a new working environment.

We previously announced the exclusive previews of the ultra-luxury Capella at Galaxy Macau and Horizon Plus. Both facilities have been extremely well received by our guests and currently the vast majority of both facilities are opened. However, we are still fitting out some additional enhancement facilities including a signature restaurant. We anticipate that the facilities will be fully opened by early next year.

On the development front, we continue to progress with the fitting out of Phase 4, which includes multiple high-end hotel brands that are new to Macau, together with an approximately 5,000-seat theater, extensive F&B, retail, non-gaming amenities, landscaping, a water resort deck and a casino. Phase 4 is targeted to complete in 2027.

Previously GEG has been actively exploring opportunities to develop an integrated resort in Thailand. During Q3 there was a change in Government within Thailand, and it appears that the new Government’s immediate priorities lie elsewhere. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Recently, we announced that Mr. Ted Chan will step down from his position of Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO’) and depart GEG on 22 November 2025, and Mr. Thomas Arasi has commenced as CFO effective 27 October 2025. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Ted for his valuable contribution to GEG, and welcome Tom in his role as CFO of the Company.

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.”

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 including adding new F&B and retail offerings at Galaxy Macau™.

We also continue to ramp up GICC and Galaxy Arena by bringing a range of mega shows, concerts and events to Galaxy Macau™. In November we will support the National Games by hosting its Table Tennis Competition in Galaxy Arena. In addition, we have signed a four-year strategic partnership with the UFC to bring UFC Fight Nights to Galaxy Arena, as well as renewed a three-year strategic partnership with TMElive (Tencent Music) to co-host multifaceted popular music events. We have also renewed a three-year cooperation agreement with Damai Entertainment under Alibaba Group and Macau Pass for events ticketing.

At StarWorld Macau we have commenced implementing a range of major upgrades, that includes the main gaming floor, the lobby arrival experience and increasing the F&B options. We have completed the upgrade of Level 3 and StarWorld Macau now hosts one of the largest scale LTG terminals in Macau. The purpose of these upgrades is to transition StarWorld from a VIP-centric property to a more competitive Mass market property. We are working towards the completion of this program in 2026.

Cotai – The Next Chapter

We previously announced the exclusive previews of the ultra-luxury Capella at Galaxy Macau and Horizon Plus. Both facilities have been extremely well received by our guests and have set a new level of luxury opulence and service levels in Macau. Capella offers 95 ultra-luxury signature suites and Penthouses. Currently the vast majority of both facilities are opened. However, we are still fitting out some additional enhancement facilities including a signature restaurant. We anticipate that the facilities will be fully opened by early next year.

On the development front we are progressing well with the construction of Phase 4. Construction of the super structure and the external facade has been completed and we are progressing to the next stage of development which is fitting out the building. We have entered into a new contract for the internal fitting out works of the approximately 600,000 sqm Phase 4 development which includes multiple high-end hotel brands that are new to Macau, together with an approximately 5,000-seat theater, extensive F&B, retail, non-gaming amenities, landscaping, a water resort deck and a casino. Phase 4 is targeted to complete in 2027. 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.

Previously GEG has been actively exploring opportunities to develop an integrated resort in Thailand. During Q3 there was a change of Government within Thailand, and it appears that the new Government’s immediate priorities lie elsewhere. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Outlook

Looking forward, as previously stated we continue to remain laser focused on our customer service standards. Our target is to ensure that each customer interaction is memorable and exceptional. We continue to progressively upgrade our resort facilities to ensure that they remain world-class amenities and highly competitive. We continue to yield all our existing assets including hotels, food and beverage, retail, resort and MICE facilities. Costs are being carefully managed to deliver operating leverage as we continue to grow the top line.

In early October, another typhoon impacted Macau. Typhoon Matmo disrupted visitor arrivals to Macau on 5 October which was the fifth day of Golden Week. Overall, we were encouraged that despite the typhoon, Macau recorded a total of 1.14 million visitor arrivals during the eight-day Golden Week, averaging approximately 143,000 visitors per day. This set a new record for National Day Golden Week arrivals and Macau’s major resort hotels’ average occupancy was approximately 100% during the period. This demonstrates the continued strong demand from Mainland tourists for Macau as a preferred travel destination.

GEG continues to lead Macau’s non-gaming diversification with large scale entertainment continuing to drive foot traffic across our resorts. Mega entertainment, sports and MICE events have resulted in a substantial increase in gaming, retail, food and beverage and hotel revenues. We are working hard to continue to build the Galaxy Arena brand as a world-class entertainment arena and to attract even more large scale mega entertainment events into the future. We are pleased to announce that Galaxy Arena will host the Table Tennis Competition of the 15^th National Games in November. Our Group looks forward to collaborating with all sectors of the community and in particular with the Macau Government to elevate Macau’s sports atmosphere and contribute to its development as a “City of Sports”. In addition, we have signed a four-year strategic partnership with the UFC to bring UFC Fight Nights to Galaxy Arena, as well as renewed a three-year strategic partnership with TMElive (Tencent Music) to co-host multifaceted popular music events. We have also renewed a three-year cooperation agreement with Damai Entertainment under Alibaba Group and Macau Pass for events ticketing. We remain optimistic about mega events tourism into the future and are confident that they will contribute to the growth in tourist numbers.

As previously reported the implementation of smart tables helped us more fully understand our customers and to provide the best service and experience to our valuable guests. We have already seen economic benefits from these investments, and we will continue to drive each and every segment of the business.

Phase 4 is targeted to complete in 2027.

We continue to monitor the state of the world economy and ongoing discussions on tariffs. Tariffs whilst gaining significant media coverage have to date not impacted gaming revenue as much as some analysts had previously predicted. Macau still rates in the top three destinations of choice by Chinese travelers.

International customer development continues to be a priority and we are leveraging our marketing offices in Tokyo, Seoul and Bangkok, and our recently opened office in Singapore. In the first nine months of 2025 international visitor arrivals to Macau grew 12% year-on-year to 1.9 million.

The Macau market continues to remain competitive. GEG prefers to compete on quality product and service, and not purely on price. The post-Golden Week gaming momentum has continued and we anticipate a solid Q4. We remain positive for the outlook of Macau despite the competition and remain confident in the medium to longer term prospect for Macau. We will continue to leverage our resorts and staff to grow the business, and to support Macau’s development into the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
