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.
