Dr. Lui Che Woo, Chairman of GEG said:

"We are pleased to report our financial results for the three months and twelve months periods ending 31 December 2016. We have delivered very credible and solid results given the challenging operating environment that we experienced for the majority of 2016. Despite these challenges, the Group reported Q4 Adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 billion, up 10% quarter-on-quarter and full year Adjusted EBITDA of $10.3 billion up 18% year-on-year.

We have worked hard during the period to carefully control costs without adversely impacting customer service standards and to substantially grow our Mass Market business. Our portfolio of luxury hotels were virtually 100% occupied during the year and we reported non-gaming revenue of $3.2 billion an increase of 18% year-on-year; this demonstrates our commitment to support the Macau Government's efforts to diversify the economy and grow non-gaming revenue.

During the year, we paid two special dividends of $0.15 and $0.18 per share. And I am pleased to announce today that we will pay another special dividend of $0.26 per share this year on or about 28 April 2017, a 73% increase compared to April 2016. This confirms our commitment to return capital to shareholders, whilst maintaining an exceptionally strong and liquid balance sheet to fund our growth development pipeline and international expansion ambitions.

In the medium to longer term we are positive on the outlook for Macau and are confident that Macau will develop into a World Center of Tourism and Leisure as envisioned by the Macau Government and we are pleased to be able to support this Government lead vision.

Finally, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all of our committed and hard-working staff who deliver exceptional customer moments and are committed to our renowned 'World Class, Asian Heart' service philosophy."

Market Overview

The Macau gaming market finished the year on a positive note where from August onwards, Gross Gaming Revenue ("GGR") reported positive growth. In addition to the growth of GGR in the later part of 2016, the market also experienced a shift in the mix of gaming revenue from VIP to the Mass market.

Visitation to Macau in 2016 was 30.95 million compared to 30.71 million in 2015. However with the addition of new hotel capacity during the year overnight visitation has increased for seven consecutive months since June 2016 and was up 10% year-on-year to 15.7 million for the full year. For the first time in the last ten years, overnight-stay visitor arrivals exceeded same-day visitor arrivals. In 2016, the average length of stay of overnight visitors stood at 2.1 days. This is a particularly encouraging sign as new capacity has driven increased overnight visitation and it is estimated that overnight visitors spend more than day trippers.

In 2016 infrastructure designed to enable easier access to Macau and movement within Macau continued to progress and we look forward to the completion of these infrastructure projects. These projects will further enhance the appeal and easy of travel to and from Macau and travel within Macau for both Chinese and International visitors.

Outlook

We continue with our focus to drive profitable volumes and actively control costs which contributed to delivering solid results in 2016, even with new capacity entering the market. We were encouraged by the last five months of 2016 where Macau experienced modest growth in GGR. We hope that this will develop into a definitive trend over the course of 2017 and beyond. Our cautiousness is reflective of the fact that we face increased regional competition and a tightening regulatory environment. In addition, there are a number of macro-economic and global geo-political events occurring in 2017 that may impact consumer sentiment.

With that said, we are confident in the medium to longer term outlook for Macau in general and GEG specifically. We believe the demand for leisure, tourism and travel from both Asia and Mainland China is significant and the market is still under-penetrated. To capitalize on this demand we will potentially commence construction of Phases 3 & 4 in late Q1 or early Q2 2017 and we also continue our planning for the development of Hengqin which will complement our high energy resorts in Macau.

The continued support of the Macau and Central Governments is greatly appreciated with their ongoing build out of infrastructure to both access Macau and to travel more easily within Macau. We look forward to the completion of these infrastructure projects that will further enhance the attractiveness of Macau. We look forward to working with the Macau Government to support their ongoing efforts to develop Macau into a World Center of Tourism and Leisure.

About Galaxy Entertainment Group (HKEx stock code: 27)

Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited ("GEG" or the "Group") is one of the world's leading hospitality and gaming companies. It primarily develops and operates hotels, gaming and integrated resort facilities in Macau. The Group is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is a member of the Hang Seng Index.

GEG is one of the six gaming concessionaires in Macau with a track record of delivering innovative, spectacular and industry leading properties, products and services, underpinned by a "World Class, Asian Heart" service philosophy, that has enabled it to consistently outperform the wider market.

GEG operates three flagship venues in Macau: on Cotai, Galaxy Macau™, one of the world's largest integrated destination resorts, and the adjoining Broadway Macau™, a new hotel, entertainment and retail landmark destination; and on the Peninsula, StarWorld Macau, an award winning high end property.

The Group has the largest development pipeline of any concessionaire in Macau. When Phases 3 & 4 of its Cotai landbank are completed, GEG's footprint on Cotai will double to more than 2 million square meters. GEG has also entered into a framework agreement to develop a low rise, low density world class destination resort on a 2.7 square kilometer land parcel on Hengqin adjacent to Macau. This resort will complement GEG's offer in Macau, differentiate it from its peers and support Macau in its vision to become a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure. Additionally, we continue to explore international development opportunities.

GEG is committed to delivering unique 'World Class, Asian Heart' holiday experiences to its guests and building a sustainable future for Macau.

GEG also operates a Construction Materials Division.
