Australia.- The Star Entertainment Group announced the appointment of Bruce Mathieson Jr as a non-executive director of the company, effective October 10.  Meanwhile, Michael Issenberg, who has been an independent non-executive director since July 11, 2022, has announced that he does not intend to stand for re-election and will retire from the board at the end of the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Anne Ward, The Star’s chairman, said: “On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Michael for his significant contribution as a non-executive director of The Star over his three years with The Star, including his roles as chair of the Culture, People and Remuneration Committee, a Member of The Star Audit Committee, and chair of The Star Brisbane. I look forward to acknowledging Michael’s contribution to The Star at the AGM. The board wishes Michael well in his future endeavours.”

Star Entertainment Group reported revenue of AU$1.19bn (US$780m) for the full financial year 2025, down 29.2 per cent in year-on-year terms. The company said the decline reflected challenging trading conditions due to regulatory reforms, including mandatory carded play and cash limits at The Star Sydney.

The company reported net loss of AU$471.5m (US$308m), or AU$259.1m before one-off items including redundancy costs, penalties and an impairment on its Queen’s Wharf precinct in Brisbane. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were negative AU$77m compared to a profit of AU$175m in the prior year.
