    ASX / MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 1 November 2018 CROWN RESORTS LIMITED 2018 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS JOHN ALEXANDER Shareholders, It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the magnificent Crown Towers Perth. We believe that Crown Towers Perth is one of the most luxurious hotels in Australia and the region, and has set a new benchmark in six-star accommodation. Whilst this hotel opened during challenging economic conditions in Perth, we are confident in the long-term prospects for the property. We believe tourism has great potential to become one of Western Australia’s leading industries and that Crown Perth will play a major part. GROUP RESULTS I would now like to briefly touch on last year’s financial performance. The full details of Crown’s results for the 2018 financial year were provided in our ASX results release in August as well as in our Annual Report, which was sent to shareholders in September. Therefore, I will provide just an overview of the financial results today. For the full year ended 30 June 2018, Crown announced normalised EBITDA of $878.3 million, up 6.1% on the previous year, and normalised NPAT of $386.8 million before significant items, up 12.7% on the previous year. This result reflects a solid performance from our local Melbourne operation, continued subdued trading in Perth and strong growth in VIP program play. Crown’s reported NPAT before significant items was $326.7 million, up 5.8%, whilst reported NPAT after significant items was $558.9 million, down 70.0% on the previous year, noting the F17 result included the net gain from the sale of Crown’s interest in Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited of approximately $1.7 billion.

  • The Political Economy of Value Capture: How the Financialization of Hudson Yards Created a Private Rail Line for the Rich
    The Political Economy of Value Capture: How the Financialization of Hudson Yards Created a Private Rail Line for the Rich Danielle L. Petretta Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee Of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Danielle L. Petretta All Rights Reserved The Political Economy of Value Capture: How the Financialization of Hudson Yards Created a Private Rail Line for the Rich Abstract: The theory of value capture is simple to understand and easy to sell, promising self-fulfilling virtuous cycles of value generation, capture, and redistribution. Countless studies document value creation attributable to public interventions, providing guidance on the type and extent of potential benefits. Scholars too have set forth parameters for optimal value capture conditions and caution against common pitfalls to keep in mind when designing value capture plans. But even when utilizing the best advice, equitable redistribution of benefits rarely occurs in neoliberal economies, leaving municipalities struggling to meet the myriad of social needs and provide basic services for all their inhabitants. Invariably, capitalistic real estate states seek to financialize public assets for private gain. Nowhere is this more apparent in New York City today than in the outcomes thus far of one of the largest public-private developments in New York history at Hudson Yards. This dissertation documents the failure of the value capture scheme put in place at Hudson Yards which neither captured fair market value for the public, nor extracted much public benefit. The scheme aimed to leverage vast tracts of publicly-owned land above operational rail yards at the Far West Side of Manhattan.
