Genting Singapore net profit jumps 75% to S$193m

Regional prospects gaining steam.

Genting Singapore did not disappoint with its 3Q13 earnings, meeting OCBC's expectations, with revenue climbing 16% yoy to S$776.8m and net profit rising 75% yoy to S$193m. Despite the expected results, Genting Singapore seems to be adopting a rosier outlook because of improving regional prospects.

"Going forward, management has turned slightly more positive, as compared to the previous quarter, after seeing a better spread of VIP customers coming from SE Asia and not just China. It is also seriously exploring gaming and non-gaming opportunities in the region; and expects to announce something in the next 12 months," said OCBC Investment Research in a report following the release of Genting Singapore's 3Q13 results.

The research firm also noted that Genting Singapore is watching the developments in Japan closely, with management expecting the legislative passage of the IR Executive Law in early 2014.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
