The company’s 2Q19 revenue results showed 0.7% growth in casino revenue at Wynn Palace to US$528.5 million, pushed into the positive by a 4.0% increase in mass market table drop to US$1.27 billion. Aided by a strong win rate, mass table games win grew to US$296.9 million – comprising more than half of the property’s gaming revenue for the quarter. The continuing strong performance at Wynn Palace has more than made amends for disruption at Wynn’s original peninsula property during its ongoing US$100 million makeover and suggests a greater slice of Macau market share – currently sitting at around 15.1% – could be on the way. Long respected at Wynn, having first joined Wynn Macau in 2007 as Director of Hotel Operations before becoming President of Wynn Resorts (Macau) SA later that year, Coughlan’s next assignment will be to oversee the development of Wynn Palace’s Phase 1 expansion – a US$2 billion development aimed at increasing exposure in the premiummass segment. Due to break ground in 2021, the expansion will include the addition of a new 650-room hotel tower and a Crystal Pavilion featuring art, entertainment and F&B facilities. 自 2016年底出任永利澳門總裁後，高哲恒的任務是加強永利皇宮的中場表現， 這些目標今年可謂達到了，永利皇宮的中場收入有顯著改善。 據永利澳門的2019年第二季度的財政資料顯示，永利皇宮的博彩收入增 長0.7%至5.285億美元，有賴中場賭枱投注額增長4%至12.7億美元。此外，中場 賭枱淨贏率表現強勁，令中場贏額增長至2.969億美元，佔永利皇宮第二季度的 博彩收入超過一半。 永利皇宮持續穩健的表現，彌補了永利澳門因重整而造成的收入影響，該 位於澳門半島的物業正進行耗資1億美元的優化工程。這亦意味永利未來在澳 門的市場份額或可繼續增長，該博企目前的市場佔比為15.1%。 高哲恒在永利聲望顯赫，於2007年加入永利澳門，出任酒店營運總監，並 於翌年成為永利渡假村(澳門)股份有限公司的總裁。接下來他的重任是監督落 實永利皇宮第一期擴建計劃，該計劃投資額達20億美元，旨在強化高端中場的 表現。擴建計劃預計於2021年動工，將為物業新增一幢650間客房的酒店大樓， 以及涵蓋藝術、娛樂、餐飲等玩素、名為「水晶蓮宮」的設施。 POWER SCORE 權能指數 : 1,450 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名 : 23
