Continue Working Closely with Macau Community to Control COVID-19
Q2 2020 Group Adjusted EBITDA of $(1.4) Billion Vs $4.3 Billion in Q2 2019 and $0.3 Billion in Q1 2020
Effectively controlling costs
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 2020. (All amounts are expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise stated)
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF GALAXY ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
I would like to take this opportunity to update you on the status of GEG during the period of COVID-19. Q2 2020 continued to be a difficult period for the community and businesses globally including Macau and GEG.
First and foremost, the Macau government continues to perform admirably throughout the pandemic with proactive and decisive leadership and generating community support. They are clearly focused on public health and safety as well as economic and social stability. As a responsible corporation GEG continues to work closely with and support the Macau Government, local SMEs and local employment. COVID-19 had an adverse impact on our financial results in Q2 and in the first half of 2020, as Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau faced travel restrictions and social distancing. These restrictions resulted in a significant reduction in visitor arrivals and subsequent decline in revenue. With minimal revenue and ongoing staff costs, the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA was negative $1.4 billion for the second quarter.
We are pleased that Macau and Guangdong have taken the critical step in creating a travel bubble followed most notably, by the reinstatement of the Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) and group travel for Zhuhai Hukou residents and Zhuhai Resident Permit holders to visit Macau effective yesterday. The government subsequently announced that they will expand the IVS and group travel beyond Zhuhai to Guangdong Province by the end of August 2020 and Nationwide by the end of September 2020 provided the pandemic situation continues to improve. Despite these important positive early steps, it is premature to comment on how quickly the market may recover. Going forward we expect to experience further head winds from the pandemic, which will have an adverse impact on our financial performance. However in the medium to longer term, we continue to remain optimistic in the outlook for Macau in general and GEG specifically.
We continue to make good progress with our development projects, including Cotai Phases 3 & 4 as well as existing enhancement projects at our resorts. These projects will help support the Macau Government’s vision to develop Macau into a World Center of Tourism and Leisure. We also continue to make progress with our international expansion plans and we do acknowledge that timelines for Japan may be impacted by the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19, however we can adjust accordingly and we remain committed to our Japan expansion plans.
Our balance sheet remains strong with $49.8 billion in cash and liquid investments and $43.6 billion of net cash as well as virtually unlevered. On 24 April 2020, GEG paid a special dividend of $0.45 per share. Given the ongoing impact of COVID-19, today the Board has decided not to declare a dividend.
During this period of very low revenue our focus has shifted from revenue generation to effective cost control. However, it is important to not cut costs excessively and therefore adversely impact our ability to deliver upon customer service standards when business returns. We remain committed to support the Macau Government, local employment and SMEs.
I wish to assure you that the management and staff have been working diligently in regards to health, safety and hygiene so that our resorts are operationally ready as travel restrictions ease. These included the introduction of a number of policies and procedures to elevate the cleaning and hygiene standards across our resorts. The wellbeing of our staff and guests is our highest priority. It is pleasing to note that there have been no new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases in Macau since 9 April 2020. The Macau Government, health authorities and the community should be commended for this outstanding achievement.
At GEG we take our corporate social responsibility most seriously. Some of our efforts during the first half of 2020 have included making a cash contribution of $100 million, to assist in the fight against COVID-19. In addition, the Galaxy Entertainment Group Foundation subscribed $100 million to a special purpose Macau COVID-19 Recovery Bond. We also donated 1 million face masks, financially contributed to the deep cleaning of 35 local schools, provided numerous food & hygiene hampers to the needy and provided support to the broader community to name a few.
We would like to thank everyone from the Macau Government, the community and the GEG team who supported the Company in these difficult times. We are proud to report that virtually all team members made voluntary contributions including the Board which also waived their Director’s fee, management who participated in our non-paid leave program and the many group members who joined our Flexi Family Care Program. At GEG we have tried to spread the impact of COVID-19 fairly across all team members as we prefer not to engage in redundancies.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the health and emergency personnel who have worked so hard to ensure the safety of Macau and I would also like to thank our staff for being so supportive of our Company during this period of time. Thank you.

Construction Materials Division
CMD contributed Adjusted EBITDA of $509 million in 1H 2020, down 10% year-on-year. The performance of CMD has been very strong in Q2 2020 with Adjusted EBITDA of $390 million, up 7% year-on-year and up 228% quarter-on-quarter. This was due to pent-up demand for construction materials in both Hong Kong and Mainland after the lifting of the lockdown in Q1 and demand for cement in Yunnan driven by government infrastructure projects. We continue with the construction of our ready mix concrete plant at the Hong Kong International Airport and anticipate the plant to open in Q4 2020, which will support the construction of the third runway, terminal building and support facilities.
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. Our development works for Phases 3 & 4 include approximately 3,500 hotel rooms, including family and premium high end 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.
Hengqin
We continue to make progress with our concept plan for a lifestyle resort on Hengqin that will complement our high energy resorts in Macau. We are encouraged by the Macau Chief Executive’s recent positive comments in his inaugural Policy Address about the future role of Hengqin in the further development of Macau. We look forward to working with respective governments to develop our plan in Hengqin and support the government’s strategy to diversify Macau’s economy.
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 great 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, look forward to bringing our brand of World Class IRs to Japan.
