Genting Singapore - Expect to report significant decline in net profits for 2Q15

4QFY15 operating net profit of S$8.7m for Perennial Real Estate Holdingsin line. Earnings were boosted by one-off acquisition fee for AXA. The Group has revealed its asset enhancement works at TripleOne Orchard and AXA Tower, which involves substantially redeveloping the retail areas and introducing medical suites in both assets. Maintain BUY, TPS$1.32.

Asian Pay Television Trust's2Q15 EBITDA of S$50.4m (+4% y-o-y and q-o-q) and 2Q15 DPU of 2.00 Scts were in line. Favourable foreign exchange movements helped revenues but higher finance cost dragged profitability. Maintain HOLD on revised TP of S$ 0.87 (Prev S$0.90). The counter offers an attractive yield of ~9%.

CapitaLand reported this morning that its net profit for 2Q15 rose 5.8% y-o-y to S$464m due to improved operating earnings, partially offset by an impairment for a development project in China. Revenue increased by 17.8% on higher contribution from development projects in China, partially offset by lower revenue from development projects in Singapore and Vietnam.

Genting Singaporeis expected to report a significant decline in net profits after tax for 2Q15. This is due mainly to fair value loss on derivative financial instruments as a result of unfavourable market conditions and unrealised foreign exchange translation losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a theoretical normalised hold basis, the Group expects its adjusted EBITDA for 2Q15 to be comparable to the preceding quarter. Based on GENS' guidance, if the theoretical VIP win-rate for GENS is maintained at c.2.85% in 2Q15, we expect 2Q15 adjusted EBITDA to fall 14% y-oy, but rise 18% q-o-q. The win rate for 2Q14 and 1Q15 was 3% and 2.5% respectively. Going into 2H15, we expect GENS' earnings to face headwinds from the normalisation of its VIP high market share (54-61% over 2H14) back to 50% level, partially offset by extremely low win rates in 3Q14 (below 2%) and 4Q14 (2.2%).
