KUALA LUMPUR: GENTING BHD []'s net profit surged 89.6% to RM465.43 million in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2010 from RM245.4 million a year ago.
It said on Feb 23 revenue rose 76% to RM4.086 billion from RM2.320 billion. Earnings per share were 12.57 sen compared with 6.64 sen while it proposed a final dividend of 4.5 sen compared with 4.20 sen a year ago.
It said the higher revenue was mainly from the leisure and hospitality division with the commencement of operations of Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, during the first quarter of 2010.
'Revenue from Resorts World Genting in Malaysia increased mainly due to better luck factor in the premium players business. The revenue from the UK casino operations decreased mainly due to poor luck factor and the weaker sterling pound. However, the UK business volume has shown improvement over the previous year's corresponding quarter,' it said.
Genting said the PLANTATION [] division benefited from higher palm products prices. However, its power division recorded lower revenue due to lower generation of electricity by the Kuala Langat and the Meizhou Wan power plants.
'The higher adjusted EBITDA from the Leisure & Hospitality Division in 4Q2010 was mainly attributable to RWS. RWG's adjusted EBITDA increased due to higher revenue, whilst the UK casinos' adjusted EBITDA was affected by lower revenue,' it said.
As for FY10, its earnings rose 110.9% to RM2.202 billion from RM1.044 billion while revenue surged 71% to RM15.194 billion from RM8.893 billion.
Group revenue rose by 71% to record a new high of RM15.19 billion in FY2010 (FY2009: RM8.89 billion), while group profit before tax rose by 74% to post a new high of RM4.39 billion in FY2010 (FY2009: RM2.53 billion).
