Galaxy looks forward to summer boost
Galaxy Entertainment Group (0027) chairman Lui Che-woo yesterday said the recently launched phase II of Galaxy Macau had not performed as well as expected, but he is hopeful it can recover gradually during summer.
Lui admitted the ongoing anti-graft campaign in the mainland and the recent smoking ban in Macau had adversely affected the gaming industry. Galaxy's business also edged down due to the traditional non-peak season in June.
Galaxy vice chairman Francis Lui Yiu-tung said Phase II, which opened last month, was aimed at the mass market. It only has two VIP tables and the company needs time to adjust to the business model, he said.
He added, though, that the new phase has the best facilities and services, compared with other projects of the group. The company has just started its non-gaming business and the market needs to be more patient about growth, he added.
All 4,000 hotel rooms in the new project were fully booked in the past few weekends, and Galaxy expects an increase in visitors during the peak season in July and August, Francis Lui said.
The remaining 30 percent of the mostly luxury retail shops at the hotel are also expected to open soon at Broadway Macau, he said. "While there are still many uncertainties in the gaming industry, we believe that the non-gaming business will increase steadily in the near future."
He added he is hopeful Macau authorities will consider carefully the smoking ban legislation in casinos and will not implement the policy too quickly.

Galaxy profit plunges to six-year low by Frances Sit
Galaxy Entertainment Group (0027) saw signs of market stabilization and remains cautiously optimistic about the gaming industry in the second half, after its interim net profit plunged 66 percent to a six-year low of HK$2.03 billion slightly beating estimates.
Earnings per share dropped from HK$1.41 a year ago to 47.7 HK cents in the period.
It declared a special dividend of 14 HK cents.
All Macau gaming shares fell, with Galaxy shedding 4.43 percent to HK$31.25, after broker Daiwa downgraded the stock due to immediate cost pressures from new projects.
Daiwa, calling Macau's gaming sector "a falling house of cards," also expected the city's overall gaming revenues to drop 34 percent this year from 2014, versus its earlier forecast of a 21 percent dip.
Galaxy chairman Lui Che-woo said June was the worst month for Macau's gaming sector, but July gaming revenues rose 6 to 7 percent from the previous month.
Macau's gaming industry would rebound soon, he said. However, Lui's son, vice chairman Francis Lui Yiu-tung, said the company would need another one to two months to see whether the industry has bottomed out.
Galaxy's half-year earnings before income, tax, depreciation and amortization hit HK$4.16 billion, 43 percent lower than a year back.
Overall revenue slumped 34 percent in the first half to HK$25.37 billion, mainly dragged lower by opening costs of phase two of Galaxy Macau and Broadway Macau, which operated for 35 days as of June 30.
The company saw total gaming revenue fall 37 percent to HK$118.1 billion in the first half the market average.
Total VIP revenues dropped 43 percent to HK$15.5 billion, while mass table revenue slipped 17 percent to HK$8.2 billion.

<Research Report>BofA Merrill Lynch Upgrades GALAXY ENT(00027.HK) to Buy with Target Cut to $33.8
Bank of America Merrill Lynch stated that GALAXY ENT(00027.HK)'s balance sheet was strong and FCF yield equaled 3%-5%.
Based on its current valuation, the growth expectations were reasonable.
The stock should offer attractive risk-reward, as it appeared to be in a better position to withstand a further market downturn given a growing contribution from non-gaming and flexibility to slow its capex on Phases 3 and 4.
The broker continued that GALAXY ENT could outperform its peers in a market recovery, thanks to its relatively larger landbank.
Its target price was cut from $36.5 to $33.8 and its rating was upgraded from Neutral to Buy.

<Research Report>UBS: Galaxy Ent's EBITDA Slightly Beats Estimates; Galaxy Macau's Mass Revenue Surprising
UBS, in its research report, stated that GALAXY ENT (00027.HK)'s EBITDA in the third quarter amounted to nearly $2.1 billion (down 36% yearly; up 13% quarterly), slightly better than the broker's estimate of $2.05 billion and the consensus of $2.09 billion.
Galaxy Macau's mass revenue was surprising and the broker expected investors to react positively.
The broker stated that Galaxy Macau's mass revenue in the third quarter rose 21% quarterly, against the broker's previous estimate of increasing 13%.
That should be driven by Galaxy Macau phase 2 and VIP/mass reclassification.
