In a competitive market, we continue to allocate resources with discipline and focus on their most efficient use. GEG believes in competing with excellent products and services and not on price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have a strong, healthy and liquid balance sheet with cash and liquid investments of HK$31.3bn, with a minimal debt of HK$4.2bn giving a net position of HK$27.1bn. This financial strength allows GEG to fund our development pipeline, actively explore international development opportunities and return capital to shareholders via dividends. On 25 October 2024, we paid an interim dividend of $0.50 per share which was an increase from $0.30 per share paid in April 2024. Subsequently, the GEG Board recommends a final dividend of $0.50 per share payable in June 2025. These dividends demonstrate our continued confidence in the longer-term outlook of Macau and for the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;GEG has been working with the MGTO to actively promote Macau as an international tourist destination. We previously announced the opening of offices in Tokyo, Seoul and Bangkok. In 2024 international visitor arrivals to Macau <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/macau-visitor-numbers-rose-by-almost-a-quarter-in-2024\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increased by 66 per cent year-on-year<\/a> to 2.4 million. We will continue to work with the MGTO and support this important initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;On the development front, we continue to progress with the <strong>fitting out of Capella at Galaxy Macau<\/strong> and <strong>the construction of Phase 4 <\/strong>which has a strong focus on non-gaming, primarily targeting entertainment and family facilities, and also includes gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;During the year we deployed<strong> smart tables <\/strong>across all of our casinos. We expect this technology to enhance the overall operating efficiency and customer management. In addition, we continue to make enhancements to our resorts including adding new F&amp;B and retail offerings at Galaxy Macau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;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&amp;B options. We have completed the upgrade of Level 3 and StarWorld Macau now hosts one of the largest scale Live Table Games (\u201cLTG\u201d) terminals in Macau.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Galaxy Entertainment Group has posted net revenue of HK$43.4bn (US$5.58bn) for full year 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":15107,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) reported robust financial results for FY2024, with net revenue increasing 22% to HK$43.4bn and Adjusted EBITDA up 22% to HK$12.2bn, primarily driven by the premium mass segment.
