Genting Singapore net profit rockets 85% for FY2022

The increase in international tourists in Singapore is the cause behind the growth

Genting Singapore, the owner of Resorts World Sentosa, reported an 85% increase in their net profit for the full fiscal year (FY2022) ended 31 December 2022.

Their financial statements revealed that they earned $340m for FY2022 from $183m of the previous fiscal year (FY2021).

They also reported that their gaming-based revenue grew 53% to $1.23b from $805m, whilst their non-gaming revenue climbed 90% to $491m from $258m. They earned a total revenue of $1.73b, 62% more than $1.07b in FY2021.

The growth was due to the increase in international tourists arriving in Singapore after the country’s travel recovery gained momentum, especially during the second half of 2022.

On the other hand, the higher utility tariffs, increased casino tax rates, and accelerated depreciation of assets connected to the renovation of the Festive Hotel and their plan to expand Resorts World Sentosa affected the overall profit margin.

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.
