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%).
