YTD Trading Update
Group
In the four months to 31 October 2017, group normalised revenue was up 1.7% on the pcp, with domestic revenue
(which excludes IB) up 3.1% on the pcp
International Business
Momentum is building in the business with particularly strong activity levels over the Golden Week holiday period
in October. However, IB turnover was slightly weaker on the pcp which largely pre-dated the Crown arrests in
China
YTD win rate of 1.47%, slightly above the theoretical of 1.35%
New Zealand
NZ properties are performing well, particularly in Auckland due to successful marketing and promotional initiatives
which have helped counter the impact of disruption in the CBD
Hamilton continuing to benefit from a strong macroeconomic environment in the Waikato region, but growth
rates have moderated slightly due to stronger comparable periods
Outlook
Based on YTD performance, remain on-track to achieve modest growth in group EBITDA in FY18, in-line with
previous guidance
Australia
Improved premium gaming activity in Adelaide following implementation of new gaming concessions helping to
offset impact of construction disruption from early works
Impact of increased competitive pressures in Darwin stabilising, but trading environment remains soft overall

Update On Key Initiatives – NZICC & Hobson St Hotel
SKYCITY is investing ~$700m in Auckland to deliver the NZICC, a 300 room 5 star hotel, a retail laneway, and 1,327
additional car parks
Car park and hotel basement construction well advanced, and steel structures being erected on site
Remain comfortable with contractual position with Fletcher Construction, with 90% of project costs fixed or
capped under a GMP
Fletcher Construction now has an experienced team in place, resulting in a positive shift in programme
momentum over the past 3 months
Project remains on-budget, with completion targeting mid-2019 and first major NZICC bookings in early 2020
The NZICC will be a landmark and iconic building for Auckland and NZ, and is expected to be a significant demand
driver for the Auckland precinct
The Hobson St hotel will provide much needed hotel infrastructure for Auckland and complement the NZICC and
broader Auckland business

Update On Key Initiatives – Adelaide Expansion
Vision to transform the Adelaide Casino into a world-class casino and entertainment complex
Expansion includes additional gaming capacity (~30% increase post opening), IB gaming suites and villas, a 123 room
all-suite hotel, and signature restaurants and bars
Total project costs expected to be ~A$330m (including an appropriate contingency)
Tender process for the construction contract has commenced – seeking a fixed price, lump sum contract
Main works expected to commence in Q1 2018 following completion of early works by the SA Government, with
final completion expected in Q3 2020
Confident in the investment thesis for Adelaide, supported by regulatory concessions agreed with the SA
Government
Riverbank precinct will be the entertainment centre of Adelaide and a significant demand driver for the property
post expansion
