Genting Singapore's net profit surges to $181.1m in Q1

On the back of strong revenues and improvement on margins.

The first quarter of the year was a jackpot period for Genting Singapore as its net profit skyrocketed by 16.7 times from $10.8m to $181.1m.

According to OCBC Investment Research, this was on the back of steady 1Q17 revenues at $585.6m and a significant improvement in its margins with gross profit increasing 52% YoY to $260.9m.

Meanwhile, administrative expenses and Selling & Distribution expenses dropped 5% to $40.5m and 7% to $12.7m, respectively. Finance costs also dropped 34% to $9.2m.

On a quarterly basis, total revenue grew 5% to $586.6m on the back of a 9% increase in gaming revenue to $434.4m, which was, in turn, the result of a strong performance from VIP gaming as well as premium mass business.

"GS’s non-gaming segment continues to show healthy performance with the hotel clocking an occupancy rate of over 92%, which is above the industry’s occupancy, and with the attractions at RWS welcoming 1.5m visitors," OCBC Investment Research 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.
