In order for Genting to return to glorious day most probably to divest non-core assets such as selling of Miami assets, UK and Egypt gaming which may raise around US1.5 billion to reduce debts level and focus on high growth market like Singapore, Malaysia, Las Vegas and New York will do. Then possible to achieve operation efficiency, cost optimisation and enhance value and attraction in core markets like upgrading and etc. Expand online and digital gaming, green power and oil and gas operations.
I believed Genting BODs are well aware of what they are doing :) Its all set for the long term sustainability; unless unforeseen circumstances driven by political or geopolitical decisions. Expansion in leisure and hospitality segment, investment in healthcare, and making progress in O&G segment. The Indonesian government approved the Revised First Phase Plan of Development for the Asap, Merah and Kido structures on Feb 9, 2023, which allows the supply of 230 million standard cubic feet per day (“mmscfd”) of natural gas to the FLNG facility for 18 years, as well as another supply of 101 mmscfd of natural gas to an Ammonia and Urea plant to be built in West Papua, Indonesia for 17 years.
Assuming $2 to $5 dollar per MMBtu price of natural gas and lets use the lowest price so far which is $2 per MMBtu and Genting is supplying 230 mmscfd, that is ~$170M per year revenue conservatively; more than RM500M revenue. Thats a lot and if the dollar per MMBtu goes up, the return will be even higher. Just a rough estimate :)
Hopefully they are aware as debt level have increased substantially to around RM50 billion. Like UK which is a matured market, highly competition with limited growth, high tax and margin compress. If still wish to remained in UK perhaps to focus on London which is concentration of population, high networth and international tourism. I believe when they expand Star Cruise time with high debt also knew what they are doing but eventually goes to bankruptcy as well as Empire but inject into GenM.
I am fully agreed with their diversification to increase oil and gas revenue and profit rather than too focus on gaming and resorts and that's why diverse non-core or non performing assets like Egypt, UK and Miami assets may give better concentration to expand and improve others assets value
experienced CFA will be able to answer the question of how much debt is considered too much :) Too much details required to calculate it. I am just using lazy method by comparing its leverage against regional peers and Genting is pretty good. The mgmt are in the leisure and hospitality segment for such a long time and I am sure they know what they are doing including the UK market. They just need to maintain the status quo as long as its profitable without major capex; judging by what I saw in London and Liverpool :)
