• Macau gaming market has been still under the severe impact of COVID-19 pandemic in the third quarter of the year. The city and our properties continued to experience low visitation levels primarily driven by various travel restrictions and quarantine measures.
• There has been limited market activities during the quarter. Macau visitation was down 92% from last year. Gross gaming revenue was down by 93% year-on-year as well.
• With the pandemic situation stabilizing in the region, Macau has lifted the 14-day quarantine measures between Macau and Mainland China in July, followed by a resumption of issuance of tourism visas starting from late August.
• While logistical hurdles and nucleic acid testing requirements continued to impact visitation levels, the market has been steadily improving indicating a gradual recovery pace.
• During the third quarter of the year, MGM China recorded total revenue of approximately HK$363 million, up by 41% sequentially from the second quarter. The Group had narrowed its loss to a negative adjusted property EBITDA of approximately HK$731 million, compared to -HK$886 million in previous quarter.

Hubert Wang, President & Chief Operating Officer of MGM China said: "We are encouraged to see the reopening of Macau and a recovery in the market. We expect the rate of recovery will continue to be gradual, driven by the premium mass market – which both MGM MACAU and MGM COTAI are ideally positioned to capture."
