    We have visited SGR’s Sydney property almost every Monday evening since March 2017 to take note of changing slots, construction/disruptions, occupancy & activity across key gaming segments. Key 1H19E result takeaways: 1) Sydney observations imply soft main gaming floor table growth with AGM update signaling Sovereign room strength; 2) MTGM areas remain strong (refurbished) as slot growth is mixed by jackpot, Lightning Link, and Dragon Link activity; 3) Sydney Food & Beverage weaker in 1H19 per our observations (and closure of Balla restaurant); 4) 1H19 Brisbane EGM expenditure up 0.2% on the pcp as Gold Coast is down -0.1% with flat slot revenue expected in Queensland; and 5) ALL land-based performance update with key SGR observation tables overleaf. We adjust our FY19 earnings by -2.1% based on our observations. Retain Overweight, Dec-19 PT A$6.10.

    • Group domestic gaming revenue forecast +5.5% in 1H19. Sydneyspecific1H19trends appear mixed: Tables: forecast in-line with management comments from AGM, JPMf +7.4% with support from Sovereign room. MTGM’s: improved on 1H18 trends from refurbishments. Slots: installation of strong products but mixed jackpot play. VIP: visitation positive and forecasts unchanged. F&B: weakness and closure (Balla) observed during events and holiday periods, JPMf +1%. Tournaments: positive activity continues during World Series of Poker.
    • EGM data continues to support ALL performance. Star Sydney’s distinct “New Games" and regulatory benefit continue to support ALL’s ongoing land-based strength as recent 3-month performance data highlights overleaf. Key new 1H19 slots: ALL’s PC Opal edition, SGMS’s 5 Echo Fortune, Aruze’s Cannonball, Konami’s Spin Ball & Dynamite Dollars, and Atlas’ EGMs.
    • Retain Overweight. SGR is delivering on initiatives to improve the domestic offering and reinvesting in the customer through product/loyalty. Hotel openings will boost main gaming revenue while VIP turnover appears insulated by direct marketing initiatives and provides potential upside despite industry uncertainty. Retain Overweight, Dec-19 PT A$6.10.
