Genting Singapore profits up 24% to $168.69m in Q3

Thanks to a well-performing VIP business.

Genting Singapore pops the champagne as Q3 profits rose by 24% YoY to $168.69m.

According to its financial statement, the surge was driven by a successful recovery of debts, a better VIP business, and lumpy write-backs of receivables.

After redeeming perpetual bonds of $2.3b in October, Genting has also moved to tap into the bond market by issuing samurai bonds of $239.16m (JPY20b) in three tranches, officially marking its intention to expand its presence in Japan.

RHB Research forecasts its VIP segment to gather momentum, capitalising on positive sentiment as observed in Macau’s gaming volume which hit its highest at $3.7b (HKD21.2b) since January 2016.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
