• Despite opening of new property by our competitor, MGM’s market share in Macau in June actually increased over April and May. More importantly, we have been able to maintain our margin in the current market.  Our property adjusted EBITDA margin in second quarter this year was 26.6%, a 30 basis points sequential improvement compared to the first quarter. Over the years, we run our business with a lean and efficient operation in the dynamic market. We continue to manage costs and streamline our operations in a disciplined manner, while remaining focused on main-floor business by offering a high-quality experience with MGM MACAU.

Slot win was up 4% quarter on quarter, compared to market which grew 2%. VIP table games win was down 21% compared to market which was down 17%. As a result, we shifted tables to the main floor which has a higher margin.
   
• Our mix shift towards the higher margin main floor business continued in the second quarter, with record-high over 80% of MGM China’s profit coming from the mass segment.  We had 246 tables on the main floor in the second quarter, representing nearly 60% of our table allocation.
   
• Despite additional tables on the main floor and increase of table open hours, we had a stable average headcount per open hour. In other words, our strategy of capacity and resources reallocation managed to maintain main floor player visitation in a declining market.
   
• The Group maintained its dividend payout of 35% by declaring an interim dividend of HK15.6 cents per share, to share return with our shareholders.
   
• At MGM Cotai, we are on target to complete all floors in the hotel tower by early November this year.  Our Spectacle roof structure is progressing quickly with a completion milestone by October.  The majority of the interior fit-out contracts have been awarded and we are looking to commence the fit-out of the casino area in August. Featuring approximately 1,500 hotel rooms and up to 500 gaming tables with over 85% gross floor area of non-gaming element, MGM Cotai remain on target for a fourth quarter 2016 opening.
