Genting Singapore has reported lower earnings for the 1HFY2025 ended June 30, down 35% y–o-y to $233.1 million.
Earnings per share for 1HFY2025 consequently came in 34% y-o-y lower at 1.94 cents.
Revenue for the 1HFY2025 came in 10% y-o-y lower at $1.21 billion, and gross profit came in 16% y-o-y lower at $406.9 million.
The group says the performance for the first quarter moderated y-o-y due to the absence of 2024’s visa-driven demand, but revenue grew 3% in the second quarter to $588.3 million driven by the growth in VIP rolling volume and higher win rate, and increased visitorship to Universal Studios Singapore.
The group’s adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $187.9 million, a 7% decline from the prior year, reflecting the impact of higher costs and the temporary closure of S.E.A. Aquarium in May and June this year to facilitate the opening of the Singapore Oceanarium.
Genting says that as RWS 2.0 progresses, it anticipates impacts from ongoing brown-field construction and phased closures – an integral part of executing a large-scale transformation within an operating resort environment.
