Therefore, we are almost halfway into 2020, and our results have been in the public domain for months. I will, therefore, just recap 2019, and move on to the more pressing issue that is the pandemic and its global impact. Financial Performance Bloomberry’s consolidated Gross Gaming Revenue or GGR was P60.374 billion, higher by 17 percent compared to P51.456 billion in 2018. GGR at Solaire hit P59.801 billion, growing by 17 percent and faster than the growth of the entire Philippine gaming market. Revenue growth was supported by a high VIP win rate and our solid performance in the mass gaming segment. In Korea, GGR at Jeju Sun increased by 18 percent despite the absence of most of the property’s non-gaming facilities which were undergoing renovations. Solaire recorded its highest annual levels of mass table drop and electronic gaming machine (EGM) coin-in. Mass table drop increased by 15 percent to P51.467 billion. EGM coin-in rose by 20 percent to P255.103 billion. VIP volumes were down to P771.417 billion, from a record P810.233 billion in 2018. Non-gaming revenues grew 21 percent to P8.154 billion from P6.756 billion. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Operating costs and expenses were efficiently managed and grew by only 13 percent. EBITDA increased 33 percent to P19.830 billion, from P14.895 billion in 2018. Solaire’s EBITDA was P20.294 billion, a growth of 34 percent. Jeju Sun recorded negative EBITDA of P463.9 million. Net profit grew to P9.921 billion from P7.166 billion, higher by 38 percent despite foreign exchange losses and higher interest expenses. Earnings per share was 90.3 centavos in 2019, a 39 percent increase. Going forward The record performance of the Company in 2019 will no longer reflect our short term future performance, until the pandemic is over, in one way or another, whether it runs its course, or a vaccine is created in mass quantities, when this may happen, is simply a wild guess at this point. Solaire shut down when the government declared an Enhanced Community Quarantine or lockdown that began in March 14 of this year. The hotel part remained open to house long term staying guests who elected to stay in the country rather then fly out once the lockdown was implemented. At this moment, we are still with a general quarantine, and the economy has been partially reopened to limited capacity and movement with restrictions. Solaire just opened to very limited capacity a few days ago on June 15, and it is still early days to give any indication on how the business will perform. Our number one priority now is to ensure the safety and well-being of our guests and employees. We have invested heavily and have gone to extreme lengths to make Solaire and our guests as sanitized and safe as possible. We have taken every precaution and beyond with meticulous attention to the most minute detail to achieve this. We have acquired and installed the most technologically advanced cleaning and disinfecting devices, materials, and equipment globally available. We are testing and training all our employees. suppliers. contractors three times a month in our own adjacent testing facility, and will continue to do this for the foreseeable future. I am confident when I say that there is no safer facility for the public in the country today then Solaire.

I am confident when I say that there is no safer facility for the public in the country today then Solaire. Business development We are continuing with the construction of Solaire North in Quezon City which, given the delay due to the lockdown, should be completed by the end of 2022 or early 2023. Construction has partially restarted and the period of lockdown can be reasonably added to the completion date. We strongly believe that the timing of Solaire North could well coincide with a full economic recovery. But even during this crisis, we are still on the lookout for opportunities whose potential and valuation makes sense in this environment. Given the great uncertainty, we will exercise prudence and restraint in managing our balance sheet and finances, and when this crisis has been overcome, we look forward to being an even stronger company.
