HONG KONG, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 2026. (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 solid performance achieved by GEG and the broader Macau market during the second quarter and first half of 2026. Despite external macroeconomic headwinds, including geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Macau remained resilient during the quarter, underpinned by robust visitation, healthy hotel occupancy and sustained demand across both gaming and non-gaming offerings.
Tourism trends in Q2 remained encouraging. Macau’s cumulative visitor arrivals surpassed 20 million on 20 June 2026, reaching this milestone 18 days earlier than in the prior year. Macau also recorded its highest ever single-day visitation of 248,000 on 2 May, the second day of the Labour Day Golden Week. During the 5-day holiday period, Macau welcomed approximately 873,000 visitors. Total visitor arrivals in Q2 were 9.7 million, up 4% year-on-year and down 13% quarter-on-quarter. In the first half of 2026, total visitor arrivals reached 20.9 million, up 9% year-on-year.
Against this operating backdrop, Macau’s Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) was flat year-on-year and was down 7% quarter-on-quarter to $59.2 billion in Q2 2026. Market performance continued to benefit from solid tourism demand and supportive travel facilitation measures, although this was partly tempered by the commencement of the FIFA World Cup period on 11 June. As noted in our first quarter report, major sporting events have historically influenced customer behaviour and gaming revenue in Macau, this is due to diverted attention and increased competition from sports betting activity. The tournament’s extended match schedule this year temporarily affected customer traffic and revenue. Our targeted marketing and promotional initiatives helped to partially offset the impact. Importantly, Macau experienced a recovery in gaming revenue toward the end of the World Cup, and this momentum has continued into August.
For the first half of 2026, the Group reported Net Revenue of $24.2 billion, up 4% year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.0 billion, up 1% year-on-year. For Q2, the Group reported Net Revenue of $11.8 billion, down 2% year-on-year and down 5% quarter-on-quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 billion, down 5% year-on-year and down 5% quarter-on-quarter. Despite a competitive market environment, GEG delivered solid results, with performance driven across all business segments, particularly premium mass.
Within the Gaming and Entertainment Division on a normalized basis, our Q2 2026 Net Revenue grew 6%, Adjusted Property EBITDA grew 9% and Adjusted Property EBITDA margin expanded from 30.5% to 31.4% year-on-year.
GEG’s balance sheet remains healthy and liquid, with cash and liquid investments of $37.7 billion. This financial strength allows us to fund our development pipeline, explore overseas opportunities and return capital to shareholders through dividends. A final dividend of $0.80 per share was paid in June 2026. The GEG Board has announced an interim dividend of $0.90 per share, payable in September 2026. This reflects our continued confidence in the longer term outlook for Macau in general and for GEG specifically.
The ultra-luxury Capella at Galaxy Macau, the latest addition to GEG’s hotel portfolio, officially opened in February 2026. Due to strong demand, we also expanded the premium gaming area at Horizon Plus, increasing the number of private salons from six to ten. This has further enhanced our offerings for high-value customers and helped drive the continued ramp up of the business.
World-class entertainment shows and sporting events continued to play a key role in attracting both new and repeat customers to Macau. In the first half of 2026, GEG hosted more than 170 concerts, entertainment shows, sporting and other events, including headline performances by leading Mainland artists, prominent Cantopop and K-pop concerts, comedy shows, and UFC Fight Week. During this summer, we hosted The Music of Chan Fai Young, featuring the ‘King of C-Pop’ Eason Chan, ‘Pop Diva’ Joey Yung, renowned Mandopop singer Bibi Zhou, rising star Gigi Yim, and Macau’s iconic singer Terence Chui. We also hosted concerts by Chinese actress and singer Rosy Zhao and multi-talented artist Henry Lau.
We continued to strengthen our partnerships with leading global entertainment companies. In June, we entered into a three-year strategic partnership with Trip.com Group, a leading travel services platform, to expand world-class live experiences by combining Trip.com Group’s extensive global membership ecosystem with our expertise in venue operations and large-scale event execution. Together, we aim to drive headline concerts, sporting events and premium travel experiences for international audiences, further supporting Macau’s goal of becoming a global ‘City of Performing Arts’. This partnership builds on our existing collaborations with Tencent Music’s TME live, UFC and iQIYI to bring premier events to Macau, as well as with Damai Entertainment and Macau Pass to further enhance our ticketing services. Additional partnerships that we have entered into include HSBC Credit Card where in resort spending generates rewards within Galaxy MacauTM, Ant Bank with self-service kiosks delivering a range of financial services and Xiaohongshu (XHS) who specializes in advanced digital marketing combined with high profile XHS influences and content creators. Collectively, these initiatives are expected to deepen customer engagement and expand our audience reach.
As we move forward, we will continue to enhance our resort offerings. At StarWorld Macau, we are undertaking a comprehensive renovation and upgrade programme to ensure the property remains competitive and appealing to guests. We have completed the refurbishment of the gaming floors on levels 1 and 3, together with a refit of the food and beverage areas, including the introduction of new dining offerings. We have also recently commenced the renovation of the hotel rooms and suites. This includes combining some rooms to create larger and more spacious premium suites, with the project expected to be fully completed by the first quarter of 2027. During Q2, up to approximately 40% of StarWorld Macau’s room inventory was under renovation and we estimate that this negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA by $14 million.
In parallel, we remain firmly focused on fitting out the 600,000 sqm Phase 4 development. Upon completion, this landmark project will elevate the appeal of our existing resorts and significantly broaden our non-gaming attractions. This includes 5 ultra-luxury hotels with approximately 1,350 rooms and suites, a 5,000-seat theater, extensive dining options, new retail space, lush landscaping, a water resort deck, and a casino. We believe that the addition of these new, high-quality amenities will be a game changer for our business and will further support Macau’s development as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
Finally, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our team members, whose dedication to delivering ‘World Class, Asian Heart’ service each and every day continues to drive the success of the Group.”

Outlook
Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the outlook for both GEG and the broader Macau market, with Macau continuing to rank among the most preferred tourism destinations for Mainland Chinese. Despite ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, Macau’s medium to long term prospects continue to be supported by resilient tourism demand, an expanding range of attractions, favourable travel visa measures and improving infrastructure. We believe the market’s underlying fundamentals remain sound.
We believe the quality and mix of visitation remain important. Therefore, we continue to focus on developing premium products, entertainment and non-gaming amenities to support longer stays, deeper customer engagement and broader in-resort spend. We also expect the Macau market to remain highly competitive, with operators continuing to invest in product upgrades and premium offerings.
In this context, we will continue to leverage GICC and Galaxy Arena to bring mega shows, concerts and world-class sporting and entertainment events to Galaxy Macau™. We believe live entertainment remains an important driver of footfall, customer engagement and non-gaming spend, while also enhancing Macau’s appeal as a leading tourism destination. Our strategic partnerships with Trip.com Group, UFC, iQIYI, Tencent Music’s TME live, Damai Entertainment and Macau Pass strengthen our ability to attract both regional and international audiences and performers, broaden distribution channels and further enhance the customer reach.
Our event pipeline remains strong, including the return of the popular K-pop girl group i-dle to Galaxy Arena in August and the globally acclaimed K-pop boy group ENHYPEN in October as part of their new world tours. Moreover, the Tencent Music Entertainment Awards (TMEA) 2026 has unveiled a powerhouse lineup for its upcoming mid-August event, bringing together some of the hottest names in the global Chinese music industry, featuring Hong Kong’s pop sensation MC Cheung, alongside Mandopop's legendary "Prince of Love Songs" Jeff Chang. Joining them are vocal powerhouse Zhou Shen, celebrated for his ethereal voice and versatile vocal range, Jane Zhang, the first Chinese singer to perform at the Grammys, the prominent rap icon GAI and William Chan, the multi-talented Hong Kong megastar. In October, we will host the tour concert by the queen of Mandopop love ballads Rene Liu.
In addition, we remain focused on differentiation through quality products and services, operational efficiency, customer engagement and technological innovation. We have made strong progress in our technological investments, including smart tables, customer data integration and enhanced analytics. We are already seeing benefits from these initiatives and will continue to leverage technology and data to drive performance across the business.
International customer development continues to be a priority, and we will continue to leverage our marketing offices in Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Singapore to broaden our regional customer base. International visitor arrivals to Macau reached approximately 1.4 million in the first half of 2026, up 6% year-on-year, underscoring the growing opportunity to expand our international business over time.
On the development front, we continue to make good progress on the fitting out of our approximately 600,000 sqm Phase 4 development. Upon completion, the project will significantly expand our offering, including 5 ultra-luxury hotels with approximately 1,350 rooms and suites, an approximately 5,000-seat theater, extensive F&B outlets, retail, non-gaming amenities, landscaping, a water resort deck and a casino. Phase 4 remains targeted for completion in 2027 and is expected to be a game changer for our business.
More broadly, Macau’s long term tourism outlook should continue to benefit from improving infrastructure and connectivity. Guangdong has prioritised development of the Hezhou-Hengqin section of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macau high-speed railway, which, subject to final implementation, is expected to connect Macau to the national high-speed rail network for the first time. The planned route is expected to connect Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport with Hengqin via Yuzhu, Nansha, Zhongshan and Zhuhai Hezhou. Given that Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport handled more than 80 million passengers in 2025 and has an estimated domestic network of approximately 150 routes, this proposed connection has significant potential to enhance visitor access into Hengqin/Macau from across China and international markets. Construction is currently expected to commence by the end of 2026. Furthermore, the Macau International Airport expansion and reclamation project is planned to proceed with the runway artificial island, apron reclamation, and new taxiway construction starting in Q4 2026. Following the expansion’s expected completion in 2030, the passenger capacity will increase from 10 million to 13 million.
We nonetheless remain mindful of external uncertainties, including geo-political tensions, energy price volatility and broader macroeconomic conditions, all of which could affect consumer sentiment and travel spending if sustained over a prolonged period. To date, we have not experienced any direct impact on our business. Importantly, GEG remains well capitalized, supported by a strong balance sheet and a prudent financial strategy. This positions us well to navigate external shocks while continuing to invest in our long term development pipeline.
