During the period Macau continued to perform and the Group focused on operational execution. For first half of 2018,Group Net Revenue increased 25% year-on-year to $28.1 billion and Adjusted EBITDA increased 34% year-on-year to $8.6 billion. In Q2 2018,the Group delivered record Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 billion,notwithstanding $131 million of bad luck. This is despite the ramp up of new and existing properties in a competitive market. Also of note is that Q2 Gross Gaming Revenue ("GGR") is historically softer than Q1 and that the World Cup impacted GGR in the latter part of June and into July.We continued to drive every segment of the business and yield our resorts which translated into record EBITDA. We are very pleased to report that for both second quarter and the first half,our resort hotels reported virtually 100% occupancy.Our balance sheet continued to be exceptionally strong and liquid with total cash and liquid investments of $42.9 billion and net cash of $34.3 billion. Our exceptionally strong balance sheet allows us to return capital to shareholders through dividends and to fund our development pipeline and our international expansion ambitions. On 27 April 2018 we paid a special dividend of $0.41 per share and today we announced another special dividend of $0.50 per share payable on or about 26 October 2018. These dividends demonstrate our confidence in the longer term outlook for Macau and for the Company.Also,in March GEG agreed to purchase a passive minority investment of 4.9% in Wynn Resorts at a cost of USD $927.5 million (approximately HK$7.28 billion). We subsequently closed the transaction in April 2018.On the development front,GEG continued to move forward with its Cotai Phases 3 & 4,which will include approximately 4,500 hotel rooms,including family and premium high end rooms,significant MICE space,a 16,000-seat multi-purpose arena,food and beverage,retail and casinos,among others. Further,we are advancing the conceptual plans for our development in Hengqin for a low density integrated resort that will complement our high energy resorts in Macau. The Group has a clearly defined growth development pipeline.I am very pleased with the recent passing of the Integrated Resort ("IR") Bill in Japan. We view Japan as a great long term growth opportunity that will complement our Macau operations and our other international expansion ambitions. GEG,together withMonte-Carlo SBM from the Principality of Monaco and our Japanese partners,look forward to bringing our brand of World Class IRs to the country.We remain confident in the outlook for Macau and GEG specifically over the longer term due to the significant market demand for leisure,tourism and travel. However,we do acknowledge that in the shorter term the global trade tensions,currency volatility and the overall slowing economy may impact consumer confidence in the second half of 2018. We look forward to the opening of additional infrastructure projects such as Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the extended train line that will support the future growth of Macau and the integration of the Greater Bay Area.Finally,I would like to thank all our team members who deliver 'World Class,Asian Heart' service every day and contribute to the success of the Group."Market OverviewBased on DICJ reporting,Macau's GGR for the first half of 2018 was up 19% year-on-year to $145.8 billion. Q2 2018 GGR was up 17% year-on-year and down 4% quarter-on-quarter to $71.6 billion. The Q2 GGR number includes the short term negative impact of the World Cup on gaming revenue and historically Q2 GGR is seasonally softer than Q1.In the first half of 2018,visitor arrivals to Macau were 16.84 million,up 8% year-on-year,in which overnight visitors also grew at 8% year-on-year. The average length of stay for overnight visitors increased 0.1 day year-on-year to 2.2 days,demonstrating new hotel capacity has successfully grown both the day trip and overnight visitation.Summary of Accounting Changes and the Impact In accordance with the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA),GEG adopted a new accounting standard in reporting revenue from gaming operation beginning from 1 January 2018. GEG's first mandatory reporting period is the six months period ended 30 June 2018. The main changes due to this reporting standard are that commission and incentives are to be deducted from the net wins from gaming operation to arrive at the net gaming revenue. In addition,GEG now also reports all complimentary provided to gaming customers at market rate. The comparative figures of revenue in 2017 have been restated to conform with the current period's presentation.In summary the impact will be lower reported gaming revenue,an increased Adjusted EBITDA margin,and an increase in non-gaming revenue such as hotels and F&B. There will be no change in the Adjusted EBITDA or NPAS.New Accounting Standard

The Group continues to drive every segment of our business by enhancing operational efficiencies and reallocating resources to achieve the highest and best use,while at the same time exercising prudent cost control. We continue to manage the business with a view to the medium to longer term horizon.With a strong and liquid balance sheet,GEG is able to comfortably return capital to shareholders through dividends and fund its future development pipeline and other international ambitions,such as Japan and the Philippines.We look forward to the opening of additional infrastructure projects such as Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the extended train line that will support the future growth of Macau. The ongoing integration of the Greater Bay Area within the expanded Pearl River Delta is expected to increase ease of travel within the region,encourage multiple destination trips and the development of new industries which should support the longer term growth of Macau.With the ongoing trade tensions,currency volatility and the overall slowing economy,we are cautious that consumer confidence may be impacted for the shorter term. However,we remain positive about the longer-term outlook for Macau in general and for GEG in particular. The growth of the Mainland middle-class has a strong desire for leisure,tourism and travel. GEG is ideally positioned to capitalize on this future growth with its unique and differentiated resort offerings. GEG has a clearly defined growth development pipeline.
