Genting Singapore’s net profit jumps 11% to $60.7m in Q3

The company’s EBITDA, however, crashed by 31% YoY.

Genting Singapore Limited’s net profit jumped 11% to $60.7m in the third quarter (Q3), from $54.45m in the same period last year.

This is despite the decline in the company's adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) by 31% year-on-year to $102.53m in Q3 2021 from $149.04m in Q3 2020.

In this bourse filing, the leisure and hospitality company attributed the crash in its adjusted EBITDA to the “series of enhanced safe management measures.”

“Such measures included a reduction in group size for social gathering and prohibition of dining-in at Food and Beverage establishments. Whilst most of our key offerings at Resorts World Sentosa remained operational, these were at considerably lower levels,” the company said.

Meanwhile, Genting said it only expects a minimal increase in its overseas visitors’ footfall after Singapore’s implementation of vaccinated travel lanes.

“Countries designated for this quarantine-free travel are from non-traditional source markets,” Genting Secretary Liew Lan Hing said.

“At the same time, there may be an impact on the IR’s visitorship from an outflow of the local population to these countries due to the pent-up demand for international travel,” Liew added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
