Opened in 2011, Club Cubic had until now been operated by Hong Kong-listed Luk Hing Entertainment Group Holdings Ltd, which also runs CUBIC SPACE+ in Zhuhai City. Melco confirmed that “all local employees would be offered the option to continue to be involved in the operation of the nightclub.” Recently closed following an edict from the Macau government ordering a range of public entertainment venues to suspend operations due to COVID-19, Club Cubic will "be operated under a new name” when it reopens, Melco said. Listed in 2015, Luk Hing’s most recent financial report shows group- wide revenue of HK$89.8 million (US$11.5 million) in the six months to 30 June 2021 of which HK$15.3 million (US$2.0 million) was derived from its Macau nightclub. Loss attributable to owners of the company was HK$15.9 million (US$2.1 million). For the 12 months to 31 December 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic impacted operations, group-wide revenue was HK$225.4 million (US$29.0 million), of which Macau contributed HK$121.2 million (US$15.6 million). Loss for the year was HK$30.6 million (US$3.9 million), with a slight HK$2.2 million (US$282,000) profit recorded in 2018.
