For the year ended 31 December 2018, the Group recorded total reported revenue of HK$1,865 million, an increase of approximately 2% or HK$29 million over the last year.

Co-Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Macau Legend, Mr. David Chow, said, "The Group's financial performance in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA was benefited from the improving gaming performance of our casinos, especially for Legend Palace, as well as our positive efforts in streamlining expenses. We will prudently and proactively seek expansions of business within and outside Macau and will phase each of our new projects to better manage risk and liquidity."

"In Macau, we will seek improvements and upgrades to our operations at Macau Fisherman's Wharf by introducing a virtual reality experience centre, a wax museum and new dining facilities in the second half of this year. The convention and exhibition centre will also be upgraded. Together with the continued improvement of existing offers, the new additions will further reposition Macau Fisherman's Wharf as a prime tourist attraction on the Macau Peninsula," he said.

"Overseas in Laos, Savan Legend Resorts is further improving its hotel, gaming and non- gaming facilities. In Cape Verde, we have completed the superstructure work of the office building. Closer to Macau, the Group is now finalizing the acquisition of a minority interest in a shopping complex at a strategic location in Hengqin, adjacent to the crossing to Cotai. We believe that such investment will create synergy with our existing business in Macau."

"There is optimism that the uncertainties resulted from global trade disputes will be relieved in the coming months, and with more visitations expected from the opening of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macau bridge, there are positive expectations for the overall tourism growth for Macau," said Mr. Chow.
