Results Commentary

New Zealand Properties

▪Auckland: Record EBITDA with improved 2H18 EGMs growth (+5.4% vs. pcp) and another positive hotel

performance, offset by 2H18 tables performance impacted by lower hold %

▪Hamilton: Record EBITDA with modest EGM growth and strong non-gaming performance

▪Queenstown: Higher visitation, especially from premium customers and tourists

Group

▪Record annual normalised and reported EBITDA and NPAT

▪Normalised EBITDA growth of 5.5% vs. pcp (+9.5% in 2H18 vs. pcp), ahead of previous guidance

▪Key drivers were strong growth in IB, continued growth in Auckland, improved performance in Adelaide

and effective cost management at the properties, offset by increase in corporate costs

Australian Properties

▪Adelaide: EBITDA growth achieved despite construction disruption, with improved 2H18 EGMs

performance (+4.5% vs. pcp) and increased premium gaming activity

▪Darwin: Recent competitive pressures stabilised, visitation increased and EBITDA growth achieved if

normalise for Keno 10-spot jackpots (three in FY18 vs. none in FY17)

Results Commentary

Dividends

▪Fully-imputed final dividend of 10cps, payable 14 September 2018

▪Total FY18 dividend of 20cps (fully-imputed), in-line with existing policy

▪Dividend Reinvestment Plan available for final dividend, but no discount (previously 2%)

Corporate Costs and Other Expenses

▪Higher corporate costs due to increased investment in ICT and return to normal level of incentive

remuneration

▪D&A flat due to increased capex offset by certain assets now being fully depreciated

▪Reduced net interest expense reflecting higher average debt offset by lower average interest rate and

increased capitalised interest (~$23m) from major projects

▪Stable effective tax rate of 26.6% (normalised) − as previously flagged, changes in tax legislation will

increase effective tax rate to ~29% in FY19

International Business

▪Strong growth achieved with full-year turnover of $11.9bn and actual win rate of 1.32%

▪Record normalised EBITDA with increased margins due to operating efficiencies and low bad debts
