Adelaide Expansion − Our Vision/Thesis
15
Key value driver of the project is the significant expected increase in gaming activity (combination of local,
interstate and IB)
New hotel, F&B, car park and broader precinct to be significant demand drivers and complement core activities
Riverbank precinct to be the centre of entertainment for Adelaide
Transform Adelaide Casino into a world-class casino and entertainment complex
Significant opportunity to grow market share and turnaround an underperforming casino
Project represents a significant investment in the future of Adelaide – long-term exclusive licence to 2035
(full licence term to 2085)
Regulatory environment supports investment case (note acceptors offer potential upside)
Project expected to deliver significant incremental earnings and required return
Property likely to take 3-4 years to reach full earnings potential post opening

FY20/FY21 Strategic Priorities
49
Complete Adelaide expansion and leverage benefits
Consolidate opportunity to address online casino
market in NZ
Focus on VIP/premium gaming and CXM initiatives
Confirm plan for recommissioning of NZICC & Horizon
Hotel project following fire
Progress master planning initiatives in
Auckland/Hamilton/Queenstown
Continue to invest in/enhance key CSR/sustainability
initiatives
Group strategic plan still relevant − critical to stay focused on completing major projects and enhancing shareholder returns
Strategic/Industry Themes – Two Years On (1 of 2)
50
Challenges remain for companies to sustain above cost of capital returns – requirement to increasingly diversify/invest to
sustain/grow earnings and remain relevant
Online gaming growing significantly (and faster than land-based) – several jurisdictions have legalised/regulated online
casinos/sports betting or plan to do so
Positive secular growth trends in China/Asia, with a growing middle class
Traditional land-based gaming maturing with exception of VIP/premium
Increased levels of industry consolidation (both land-based and online) as companies pursue diversification and synergies
Increased regulatory creep and focus/scrutiny on social licence
Strategic/Industry Themes – Two Years On (2 of 2)
51
Shareholders increasing their focus on SkyCity’s strategic priorities after completion of major projects, particularly against
backdrop of a dynamic, changing industry landscape
US/China trade war and global recession fears impacting sentiment around global gaming stocks (particularly those with levered
balance sheets)
Gaming REITs expanding their presence in US with institutional investors pushing for further real estate monetisation
Las Vegas/Macau continue to shift towards more non-gaming and attractions to stay relevant
Potential for significant expansion in attractive land-based gaming markets (e.g. Japan)
Consolidation between product suppliers/manufacturers less prevalent, industry searching for growth/competitive advantage
Long-Term Value Proposition
52
Increase casino, entertainment and
hospitality revenue
Develop new, complementary business
Allocate capital to higher
returning assets and businesses
Achieve operating leverage and
efficiencies across the Group
Maintain efficient capital structure and
distribution policy
Introduce investment partners to drive
growth and enhance returns
Protect and enhance
social licence to operate
Evolve with changing customer
preferences and technology

New Jersey Case Study − Thoughts/Observations
90
Significant growth in NJ online casino revenue post regulation (LTM revenues of US$400m)
Total NJ casino market (land-based and online) grown post establishing online market – land-based growth +5% per year
Effective channeling of online customer to existing sites given multiple options
Majority of operators have partnered with European platform providers (i.e. GiG/Hard Rock, Gamesys/Tropicana)
Operators effective in geo-blocking non-NJ residents from participating
Significantly increased gaming tax revenue for State and no discernible new incidence of problem gaming
NZ Online Casino Market – “Outside In” Perspective
91
Significant unregulated online gaming market developed over last 10 years -+$250m in annual gross gaming revenue
(1)
Current legislation allows for offshore operators to address NZ online gaming market
Majority of offshore operators not adhering to principles of Gambling Act 2003 (the “Act”) –emphasison protecting
harm/community benefits
Advertising restrictions often being circumvented (or ignored) by offshore operators with limited (if any) consequences
Mature market with a number of sites in operation
Land-based casinos being disrupted and no level playing field available under the Act

Capital Allocation Framework
101
“ The primary task of the SkyCity Board is the efficient allocation of capital.”
Rob Campbell, SkyCity Chair’s Review, Annual Report 2019
Key Objectives:Consistent with strategic goals − efficient capital allocation, maximise
sustainable shareholder returns
Sources of Capital
Operating cash flows
Cash balances
Debt issues
Asset sales
Equity issues
Uses of Capital
Stay-in-business capex
Growth investments
M&A opportunities
Debt repayments
Dividends
Capital returns
Financial Settings:
BBB- credit rating
Dividend policy (80% payout, min 20cps per year)
Target IRR/ROIC benchmarks
Historical Capital Allocation
102
Highly cash generative business with good access to capital –significant investment in growth projects over last 5 years but
difficult to achieve adequate ROIC. Meaningful capital returned to shareholders via ordinary dividends and buy-back

Capital Allocation Priorities
Committed to maintaining BBB- credit rating
Total debt expected to peak at ~$800m in FY21/22 (but final profile/timing depends on revised NZICC &
Horizon Hotel construction programme)
Committed to current dividend policy (80% payout ratio subject to minimum 20cps per annum)
Internal project return benchmarks: 12% post-tax IRR and 9% ROIC (by year 3) (WACC = 9%)
Pursuing opportunities to go “capital lighter” where possible
Comfortable returning surplus capital to shareholders if not required for other purposes
Current share buy-back ongoing subject to price being value-adding for shareholders
Ongoing stay-in -business capex of ~$80m – required to maintain and refurbish existing properties
Complete major projects in Adelaide and Auckland (NZICC & Horizon Hotel capex delayed)
Complete other smaller growth projects (i.e. The Guardsman in Adelaide, Auckland VIP/premium
gaming etc)
No new major growth projects confirmed at this stage – still being evaluated
Significant balance sheet capacity for future growth projects and/or shareholder distributions
