Genting Singapore net profit drops 34% to $156m in H1

Higher depreciation and lower interest income weigh as revenue slips 1%.

Genting Singapore reported a 34% year-on-year decline in net profit to $156.1m for the six months ended 30 June, as revenue slipped 1% to $1.20b.

Operating profit fell 32% to $205.5m, whilst profit before tax dropped 31% to $207.7m, according to a filing.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $389.8m.

The group attributed the weaker earnings partly to higher depreciation and amortisation from ongoing asset enhancements and lower interest income amidst declining market interest rates.

Depreciation and amortisation rose 25% to $200.6m, whilst interest income fell 55% to $22.8m.

Meanwhile, gaming revenue slipped 4% to $804.4m, whilst non-gaming revenue increased 6% to $398.8m.

Genting Singapore declared an interim dividend of 2 cents per share, payable on 22 September. It remains unchanged from the corresponding period last year.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
