In 2012, the Group recorded revenue of RM17.3 billion (2011: RM18.6 billion) and profit before tax of RM4.9 billion (2011: RM6.4 billion) from continuing operations. Economic and credit uncertainty across the broader industry impacted Resorts World Sentosa (“RWS”) but it still turned in a good set of results and non-gaming businesses such as Universal Studios Singapore® and the hotels did well. This year, the pick-up in sentiment across global markets and in Asia is expected to help develop new gaming customers and tourists from new markets to visit the resort. RWS celebrated its Grand Opening on 7 December 2012. The resort remains the only destination in Southeast Asia to offer iconic family attractions such as the new Marine Life Park™, the world’s largest oceanarium. Comprising S.E.A. Aquarium™ - the world’s largest aquarium and Adventure Cove Waterpark™ - a water theme park, Marine Life Park™ dazzles with more than 800 species of marine animals as well as fun and exciting rides. Another new attraction is Asia’s flagship ESPA, offering 10,000 square metres of world-class luxury spa experiences backed by 30 years of spa heritage. Universal Studios Singapore remains a very popular attraction in Singapore and the only Universal Studios theme park in Southeast Asia. In November 2012, Genting Singapore’s wholly-owned subsidiary Tamerton Pte Ltd won a bid for a hotel site at Jurong Town Hall Road. Sited along Singapore’s western highway that connects the second Malaysia/Singapore border crossing to Sentosa and RWS, this new hotel is slated to open in 2015 with more than 500 rooms to complement RWS, less than 20 minutes’ drive away. The hotel will be the first to open in the buzzing Jurong Gateway area, giving it a first-mover advantage as the Singapore Government continues to develop the precinct with new commercial, business and leisure facilities. Genting Malaysia’s Resorts World Genting performed commendably in 2012, despite strong regional competition. Genting Malaysia will continue to focus on increasing visitations and customer spend at Resorts World Genting in Malaysia through innovative marketing strategies, exceptional value offerings and leveraging on recently refurbished premier facilities for its guests. In the United Kingdom (“UK”), the economic backdrop remains fragile with a slow but sustained recovery anticipated. Nonetheless, we are encouraged by the higher growth in patronage and business volume of premium players in Genting UK’s London casinos in 2012. The development and refurbishment programme of Genting UK’s provincial casinos will continue in 2013 to improve the competitiveness of their offerings while the London casinos will remain focused on growing their premium players business. 2 GENTING BERHAD Annual Report 2012 Chairman’s Statement (cont’d) Genting Malaysia’s team in the UK is also working on the development Genting Plantations posted lower revenue in 2012 due to weaker of Resorts World Birmingham, set to be ready by 2015.

  • 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.
