Genting Singapore - Weak earnings momentum; maintain HOLD, TP cut to S$0.65
Genting Singaporereported 4Q15 headline loss with adjusted EBITDA below expectations. Genting was hit by close to 50% decline in VIP rolling chip volumes and losses on its investment portfolio. It declared a surprise increase in final DPS from 1.0 Scts to 1.5 Scts. We maintain our HOLD call given weak earnings momentum on the back of (i) a slowing VIP market due to the anti-corruption crackdown in China, (ii) GENS scaling back its VIP business, and (iii) significant FX volatility potentially affecting visitor numbers from Malaysia and Indonesia, GENS' two key markets. TP reduced to S$0.65 (Prev S$0.76).

The new contracts came along with Group's efforts in diversifying and expanding product portfolio in a weak market. The new contracts are expected to make positive contribution to Group's FY2016 and FY2017 financial performance.

The Group expects to report a significant cost in 4Q15 comprising mainly inventory provision as a result of adjusting the carrying value of inventory that was prepared for Yota Devices to the lower of cost and net realizable value, and provision for related non-cancellable purchase commitments.
