The Star announces earnings update and cost initiatives

Apr 19, 2023

The Star Entertainment Group Limited (ASX: SGR) has announced a significant reduction in its full-year earnings outlook for FY23 due to the ongoing impact of regulatory operating restrictions and declining consumer spending at its properties in Sydney and the Gold Coast. The company is experiencing unprecedented low levels of earnings performance, excluding the COVID-19 period.

If these conditions continue for the remainder of the financial year, underlying EBITDA is expected to be in the range of AU$280 million to AU$310 million, including the cost initiatives announced by the company. The company has also announced cost and restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing its operating cost base, including a reduction of approximately 500 full-time positions, the cancellation of short-term and other incentives for FY23, and a salary freeze for non-EBA employees. The company is also undergoing a strategic review of The Star Sydney in conjunction with Barrenjoey Capital Partners.
