Genting Singapore experienced a robust increase in profits during the 2022 fiscal year, with net earnings skyrocketing by 85.5% compared to the previous year, reaching S$340.1 million.
The company’s net earnings and expenditures both witnessed substantial growth in 2022, fueled by the reopening of global borders and the surge in tourist arrivals.
Genting Singapore’s total income in 2022 amounted to S$1.72 billion, with S$1.22 billion originating from gaming revenue and S$478 million from non-gaming revenue.
Non-gaming revenue encompasses hotel accommodations, attractions, and other non-gaming related expenses.
Furthermore, Genting Singapore also secured S$13.5 million in rental income and S$4.8 million in hotel and support services revenue.
Genting Executive Chairman Lim Kok Thay stated that the reopening of international borders contributed to a surge in visitor numbers at Resorts World Sentosa, as the world began to adjust to coexisting with COVID-19.
He remarked, “2022 marked a year where the world started to adapt to living with COVID-19, leading to the reopening of international borders and the revival of cross-border travel.” “The pent-up demand for travel and social activities contributed to a boost in visitor numbers at Resorts World Sentosa, particularly from our key markets in the region.”
However, Lim Kok Thay also highlighted that progress might be gradual due to ongoing challenges in the COVID-19 recovery and inflation.
Moving forward, although we anticipate the travel sector to continue its rebound, the rate of recovery might be inconsistent due to international flight capacity and sudden border limitations. Furthermore, economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures, along with workforce difficulties, are areas of worry.
We remain cautiously optimistic about the path to restoring business strength and recovery.
