Capital Allocation Framework
◼Bank debt fully repaid at 30 April following Darwin sale and Federal Street car park sale, leaving $470m of
fixed term debt
◼On-market buy-back commenced during April
•Board approval to buy up to $50m of shares
•Expect to buy more shares (up to 5% of total shares) once Auckland car park concession sale settles
•As at 30 April, have bought $3m of shares at average price of $3.97
•Buy-back expected to partially offset EPS dilution from asset sales and be value-enhancing for
shareholders
Capital management
Overview
◼Committed to maintaining BBB-credit rating and current dividend policy (20cps or 80% of normalised
NPAT)
◼Priorities for allocation of capital (in order) − stay-in-business capex, growth investments, debt
repayments, dividends, capital returns
◼Growth investments required to achieve internal return benchmarks − 12% post-tax IRR and 9% post-tax
ROIC (year 3)
◼Focused on capital discipline and improving returns
12
Optimise Our Existing Portfolio
◼Sale of Federal St car park ($40m) now settled
◼Binding agreement to sell long-term concession
over car parks in Auckland to Macquarie Principal
Finance for $220m
•Care Park appointed by Macquarie to operate
car parks
•Transaction value enhancing for SKYCITY − sale
price implies FY20 EBITDA multiple of 12.5x
•Plan to recycle capital into higher returning
investments and strategic opportunities
•Expect transaction to settle by 31 July 2019,
following satisfaction of certain conditions
◼Sale of Darwin (A$188m) to Delaware North now

being considered

FY19 YTD Trading Update
Group
◼As previously indicated, domestic and international economic environment becoming more challenging including
increased cost pressure
◼YTD to 28 April 2019:
•Group normalised revenue up 4% vs. pcp (up 6% excluding Darwin)
•Domestic revenue (ex IB) flat vs. pcp (up 2%excludingDarwin)
•Group reported revenue down 2% vs. pcp due to low IB win rate (flat excluding Darwin)
New Zealand
◼2H19 YTD revenue in Auckland was slightly up vs. pcp –positive EGM activity (revenue +8%) offset by weaker table
games and non-gaming performance (in particular hotels)
◼Stable revenue performance in Hamilton in 2H19 YTD vs. strong comparative period
Australia
◼Weaker revenue performance in Adelaide in 2H19 YTD due to increased disruption from construction works
◼Darwin (now sold) slightly below expectations in 3Q19 due to continuation of challenging economic conditions
International Business
◼YTD IB turnover of $11.6bn (+33% vs pcp) − growth rates moderating in 2H19 YTD due to stronger comparatives
◼Still expect to achieve turnover of around $13–$14bn for FY19
◼YTD win rate of 0.90% vs. theoretical of 1.35%
19
19
FY19 Outlook
◼Given 2H19 YTD trading and earlier settlement of Darwin sale, now expect group normalised EBITDA to be flat
for FY19 vs. pcp
◼Excluding Darwin for all of FY18 and FY19, expect FY19 group normalised EBITDA to be up around 2% vs. pcp
◼Group normalised NPAT for FY19 expected to be slightly below the pcp (previously slightly above), reflecting
increase in effective tax rate ($6m impact)
◼Difficult to provide guidance for FY19 reported earnings due to unpredictability of IB win rate and uncertainty
around other non-recurring items (e.g. gain from Auckland car park concession sale)
