The company expects to record an interim loss for the first half of 2025 driven by a major impairment linked to the shutdown of Legend Palace Casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Macau Legend Development has issued a profit warning, saying it will post an interim net loss of around HK$1.42bn (US$182m) for H1 2025. The figure marks a deterioration from the HK$110m (US$14m) loss recorded in the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main impact is a HK$1.29bn (US$165m) impairment charge tied to assets at Macau Fisherman\u2019s Wharf, where Legend Palace Casino is to close by December 31 as Macau phases out its satellite casino system<\/a>. But even without the impairment, Macau Legend\u2019s underlying loss is expected to widen by about 21 per cent year-on-year, reflecting a 12 per cent decline in revenue and a HK$30m (US$3,8m) drop in adjusted EBITDA from gaming operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has also undertaken a share consolidation plan, effective in early September, in a bid to boost its stock price and improve trading activity. As of late 2024, Macau Legend had HK$2bn (US$256m) in bank loans and HK$339m (US$43m) in shareholder loans against HK$52m (US$6m) in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figures are based on preliminary, unaudited accounts. Official interim results are due by the end of August.<\/p>\n\n\n
