Thank you, Dan, and thank you for joining our call today. A few brief comments, then we'll move to Q&A. McHale's future is bright, remains the largest in the clear resort market globally. Our commitment to investing in this incredible market is never wavered. And with an unrivaled critical mass of world-class IRs, as well as continued improvement in transportation infrastructure in the region, Macau will mature into a vibrant, diversified tourism market over the coming years. SEL's positioning and scale are perfect to capture the opportunity. Our diversified IR model, with continuous investment in non-gaming segments, including mice, hotel suites, live entertainment, retail, food and beverage, positions us well to capture the growth opportunity. Our diversity, scale, and track record in non-gaming make us uniquely positioned to cater all segments of the market and enable Macau to appeal to international tourists as well. The new concession is a win-win. We deeply appreciate the opportunity to operate one of those gaming concessions for the next 10 years. We are excited to deploy more capital to expand non-gaming offerings at SCL. The US $3.8 billion commitment is just a baseline. We hope to invest more as the market continues to grow. The commitment to develop non-gaming is the core of our investment and operating strategy for the past two decades, whether it be mice, entertainment, themed attractions, or destination sales and marketing in overseas markets. We view the investment commitments by SEL and the rest of the industry as positive for Macau. Over the past few weeks, travel restrictions have been lifted. It is too early to tell the true measure of the underlying pace of recovery, but indications are extremely positive. We have seen significant improvement on property visitation Gaining volumes, retail sales, and hotel occupancy. We remain positive on investments in the London and Four Seasons. Our investments position as well as the market recovers. The quality of our new products will also help drive high-value tourism from the region, especially the overseas markets. Turning to Singapore, our normalized EBITDA and gaining volumes are back now to the 2019 levels. Normalized EBITDA reached 386 million USD for the quarter. Rolling volumes are approaching 2019 level. and mass win per day is now exceeding the level of 2019. We've also delivered strong performance in non-gaming across all segments, including retail, mall, hotel, F&B, and mice. Retail is especially noteworthy with a 26% increase in tenant sales per square foot versus 2019. Our suite and casino renovation program is progressing. Renovated product will come online throughout the year. Looking ahead, Marina Bay Sands is poised for further growth as all of our markets recover and become free of travel restrictions and airline lift continues to recover. Let's move to Q&A.
