Genting Empire Keeps Dividends Even As Casino Resorts Stung


The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted casinos, cruises and resorts in the Genting group. (Reuters pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Companies in the Genting group are keeping up dividend payments despite the conglomerate facing its gravest challenge yet as the Covid-19 pandemic roils its collection of casinos, cruises and resorts
Genting Bhd and Genting Malaysia Bhd are keeping their interim dividend payments of 6.5 sen and 6 sen a share, respectively, the same as in 2019, according to stock exchange filings
Genting Bhd reported its worst quarter in records going back to 1999, while Genting Malaysia’s net loss was the biggest since 2000
For the rest of the year, the group “remains pessimistic on the overall financial performance as global travel remains highly restrictive”, it said in a statement
Cracks were already starting to show even before cruise operator Genting Hong Kong Ltd said it would suspend payments to creditors. The group had to shut casinos and resorts around the world as countries imposed lockdowns to curb the spread of Covid-19
Earnings estimates for 2020Genting Bhd’s net income seen shrinking 75% from a year ago to RM515 million in 2020.Genting Malaysia Bhd set to swing into RM227 million net loss this year, from RM.5 billion profit in 2019.Genting Singapore Ltd seen reporting S$128 million net loss for 2020, from S$678 million net income last year.Genting adds to a growing list of global business empires whose reliance on travel and leisure made them vulnerable to border closures and restrictions imposed by countries seeking to curb the spread of Covid-19
The conglomerate has resorted to unprecedented moves to adapt, including embarking on its first group-wide pay cuts and shrinking its workforce at its Malaysian unit
“There’s a risk, of course, of a related party transaction with one of the Genting group bailing out Genting HK and if that happens, then clearly the group can be hurt,” said Mak Yuen Teen, associate professor at the National University of Singapore Business School, who specialises in corporate governance
While Genting Hong Kong is a separate entity and defaults at that level will not trigger cross defaults on the group’s debt, group chairman Lim Kok Thay’s role as a common shareholder has sent jitters across the conglomerate
It is likely that Lim will be able to work out a deal with creditors considering the family name and their reputation, said Banny Lam, head of research at CEB International Investment Corp. The cruise operator may have deliberately slipped into a technical default to force creditors to work with them, he said
“The message to creditors is clear: If you insist on a default, we may declare bankruptcy and you lose everything,” Lam said. “They’re pushing creditors and banks for a restructuring and more time.” - FMT
