Macau casino concessionaire Sands China Ltd announced on Friday an interim dividend of HKD0.25 (US$0.032) per share. The interim dividend, amounting in aggregate to HKD2.02 billion, is due to be paid on September 12, 2025, stated the Hong Kong-listed firm.
Sands China runs a number of casino properties in Macau, including The Venetian Macao (pictured), The Parisian Macao, The Londoner Macao, and Sands Macao.
The company recorded a net profit of US$413 million for the first half of 2025, down 23.7 percent from the prior-year period. That was on net revenues that fell by 1.7 percent year-on-year, to US$3.49 billion.
Group-wide casino revenue stood at nearly US$2.62 billion in the six months to June 30, down 3.0 percent from a year earlier.
“The decrease was primarily due to decreased net casino revenue at The Venetian Macao, The Parisian Macao and Sands Macao due to the competitive nature of the Macau gaming market, partially offset by increased net casino revenue at The Londoner Macao due to Londoner Grand becoming fully operational over the second quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024,” the casino stated in Friday’s announcement.
Sands China’s adjusted property earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) were US$1.10 billion in the first half of 2025, a decrease of 5.9 percent from a year ago.
