  • Financial Hegemony, Diversification Strategies and the Firm Value of Top 30 FTSE Companies in Malaysia
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 12, No. 3; 2016 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Financial Hegemony, Diversification Strategies and the Firm Value of Top 30 FTSE Companies in Malaysia Wan Sallha Yusoff1, Mohd Fairuz Md. Salleh2, Azlina Ahmad2 & Norida Basnan2 1 School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Malaysia 2 School of Accounting, Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia Correspondence: Wan Sallha Yusoff, School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Malaysia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 8, 2015 Accepted: January 18, 2016 Online Published: February 23, 2016 doi:10.5539/ass.v12n3p14 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v12n3p14 Abstract This study investigates the relationships between financial hegemony groups, global diversification strategies and firm value of the Malaysia’s 30 largest companies listed in FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series during 2009 to 2012 period. We chose Malaysia as an ideal setting because the findings contribute to the phenomenon of the diversification–performance relationship in the Southeast Asian countries. We apply hegemony stability theory to explain the importance of financial hegemony groups in deciding international locations for operations. By using panel data analysis, we find that financial hegemony groups are significantly important in international location decisions. Results reveal that the stability of financial hegemony in BRICS and G7 groups enhances the financial value of the Malaysia’s 30 largest companies, whereas the stability of financial hegemony in ASEAN groups is able to enhance the non-financial value of the firms.

  • PRESS RELEASE for Immediate Release GENTING
    Registration No. 196801000315 (7916-A) PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release GENTING BERHAD ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 KUALA LUMPUR, 25 FEBRUARY 2021 - Genting Berhad today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter (“4Q20”) and full year (“FY2020”) ended 31 December 2020. Revenue of the Group in 4Q20 of RM3,048.1 million represented a decline of 8% compared with revenue of RM3,298.8 million recorded in third quarter of 2020 (“3Q20”). Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) however improved to RM1,175.7 million in 4Q20 compared with RM1,095.3 million in 3Q20 mainly due to the Leisure & Hospitality Division and Plantation Division. The improvement in EBITDA of the Leisure & Hospitality Division was mainly due to Resorts World Sentosa (“RWS”) as it rolled out a series of attractive packages and specially curated staycation experiences whilst the increased EBITDA from the leisure and hospitality businesses in United States of America (“US”) and Bahamas was mainly due to higher volume of business recorded following the resumption of Resorts World Casino New York City (“RWNYC”) operations in early September 2020. The Plantation Division’s EBITDA increased in 4Q20 on the back of higher fresh fruit bunches (“FFB”) production and better palm product selling prices. In comparison with the previous year’s corresponding quarter (“4Q19”), the Group revenue declined by 43% from RM5,303.0 million to RM3,048.1 million. The main contributor to the lower revenue was the Leisure & Hospitality Division. Revenue and EBITDA of RWS was lower than that of 4Q19 as it was impacted by regulatory restrictions, border closures and operating capacity due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
