Driven by surging demand for equipment replacement and technical upgrades across integrated resorts (IRs) in Macau and Southeast Asia, the Company achieved significant growth in both revenue and profitability.

Mr. Huie, Allen Tat Yan, Chairman and Executive Director of APE, stated: “We are very pleased with our financial performance in the first half of 2026. As Asia’s gaming and entertainment sector shifts rapidly toward high-tech experiences and non-gaming initiatives, demand from integrated resorts for next-generation EGE continues to climb. Our 47.3% revenue growth reflects not only our market leadership in Macau but also our strategic product expansion. We remain highly confident in our growth momentum for H2 and the long-term outlook across the region.”
