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

all-suite hotel, and signature restaurants and bars

Total project costs expected to be ~A$330m (including an appropriate contingency)

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
