Sands Singapore to beat expectations, says Adelson

Las Vegas Sands chairman Sheldon Adelson has estimated annual earnings for the upcoming Marina Bay Sands to be over a billion dollars.

Set to open in April 2010, the casino resort has been forecasted by analysts to earn within the $400 million to $800 million range. However, during a news conference on 21 December 2009, Adelson said: "We think earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization will be in excess of a billion," as reported by Bloomberg.

The chairman has previously said that contributory to meeting the resort’s earnings targets would be visitors from Malaysia, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and other Asian countries three to five hours away from Singapore.

Adelson added the return on investment capital at Sands' Singapore property has a potential of reaching up to 20 percent, and 90 percent is the peg for hotel room occupancy. "Singapore is a very important development for us," he said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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