Dr. Lui Che Woo, Chairman of GEG said:

"2014 has begun well for the Group and for Macau as a whole. GEG's success is underpinned by our commitment to provide customers with a truly memorable experience, by offering the highest quality resort facilities and delivering 'World Class, Asian Heart' service. We believe that this truly differentiates GEG.

"Both Galaxy Macau™ and StarWorld Macau performed very well during the quarter. Revenue and earnings at Galaxy Macau™ continued to increase in a sustainable way. As an established property, StarWorld Macau's year-on-year growth was especially noteworthy, driven by growing mass gaming revenues.

"Our future remains bright. Construction of Phase 2 of Galaxy Macau™ is on budget and on schedule to complete by mid-2015, providing our customers with an ever wider array of quality facilities and services. Construction of Phases 3 and 4 will begin as early as the end of the year, refitting works are underway at the Grand Waldo Complex and plans for our site on Hengqin Island are moving forward. We also continue to explore new opportunities to expand our success beyond Macau. We are confident that our development pipeline will translate into sustainable future earnings growth and enhance value for our shareholders.

"In February this year, I was delighted to receive the Outstanding Contribution Award at the International Gaming Awards in London. This award, and GEG winning the Casino Operator of the Year Australia/Asia for the third consecutive year, recognizes the enormous hard work and success of all our 16,000 team members. I would like to take this opportunity, once again, to thank all the staff for their tireless hard work in pursuit of making GEG 'globally recognized as Asia's leading gaming and entertainment corporation'."

Development Update

Phases 2, 3 & 4

Building on the success of Phase 1, GEG is progressing well with its construction of Phase 2 of Galaxy Macau™. Set to almost double the footprint of the existing property, and due to complete on budget and on schedule by mid-2015 as Macau's next major project.

Cotai Phases 3 & 4 design plans are in the final stages and we expect to commence construction as early as late 2014 with an investment of $50-$60 billion.

Grand Waldo Complex

Refitting works are well underway at the Grand Waldo Complex. We anticipate unveiling our plans in mid 2014 and re-launching the property in early 2015. It is strategically located adjacent to Galaxy Macau™ and will be complementary to our Cotai development.

Hengqin Island

GEG continues to develop the concept plans for the 2.7 square kilometre land parcel in Hengqin Island. With beautiful natural landscape including approximately 2.5 kilometres of waterfront coastline, we plan to invest RMB10 billion to build a world class destination resort, which will complement GEG's business in Macau, significantly differentiate us from our competitors and play a key role in supporting Macau to become a world centre of tourism and leisure.

Outlook

As Macau continues to evolve and cater to the mass market, it attracts a broader customer group. Understanding the changing tastes and preferences of these customers is extremely important in such a dynamic market, and GEG has tailored its offer at both flagship properties to strengthen their appeal and maximise returns. A key component in the Group's success is its 'World Class, Asian Heart' product and service philosophy.

Phase 2 of Galaxy Macau™ will see a continuation of this tailoring and significant diversification of the Group's offering, as will Phases 3 and 4, together with the re-launch of the Grand Waldo Complex and the development in Hengqin Island, strategically positions GEG to capture future opportunities. Our strong development pipeline is set to complete in parallel alongside major infrastructure improvements. We are also actively exploring new opportunities to expand into overseas markets and enhance value for our shareholders.

Notwithstanding the recent press reports and associated share price volatility, we believe that Macau's prospects in the short, medium and long-term continue to be very bright, and GEG looks to its future with confidence. GEG's development pipeline, against a backdrop of continuing economic growth in Asia, strategically positions the Group to create value for many years to come, and support Macau's efforts to diversify its economy and become a world class tourism destination.
