Macao has demonstrated a robust recovery from COVID-19 disruptions. By the fourth quarter of 2024, the industry's gross gaming revenue had reached 79.6% of 2019 levels, despite a decline in junket VIP income due to regulatory changes. We believe that Sands China's emphasis on the mass market, combined with its largest room inventory in Macao and a proven track record in nongaming activities, positions the company as a primary beneficiary of the ongoing demand recovery in the region. As the negative effects of renovation disruptions are expected to conclude in the first half of 2025, we anticipate a reacceleration in sales growth and margin expansion starting in 2025.
