VIP volume of Genting's Resorts World Sentosa pegged to balloon 20%

Here are 3 reasons why.

Maybank Kim Eng says Resorts World Sentosa's VIP volume continues to recover YoY on (i) the recovering Chinese economy (ii) improved exportability of the CNY into Singapore via its establishment as a CNY hub and (iii) low base from the preceding year.

Maybank says, "we assume that RWS VIP volume will grow 20% this year before normalizing at 5% p.a. thereafter. That said, we understand that VIP EBITDA margins are relatively lower at 20-30% vs mass market EBITDA margins at 50-60%."

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

We assume that RWS mass market GGR will grow 5% p.a. That said, we estimate that RWS 1H13 mass market GGR grew by a mere 1% YoY which poses downside risk to our estimates.

We believe that this is due to less wealth creation from leveling Singapore property prices.

With the Monetary Authority of Singapore introducing stricter and stricter property curbs, we believe that Singapore property prices and therefore, mass market GGR growth will be suppressed.

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.
