All eyes on Cotai

Near-term performance affected by a softer Chinese economy, weaker RMB and HK demonstrations that dampened visitations.

3Q19 gross gaming revenue likely down by high single digit given declines of 3.5% in July
and 8.6% in August.

Key catalyst being the Cotai project, Grand Lisboa Palace (“GLP”), which should commence operations by 2H20 to give a boost to its higher-margin mass market segment

Initiating coverage with a BUY with 12-month TP of HK$8.78

SJM has mixed holiday fortunes

by Stella Zhai

Ambrose So Shu-fai, vice chairman and chief executive of SJM (0880), said revenue from the company's casino resorts during the Golden Week has been below what was expected, though it is satisfied with the number of visitors.

Revenue from mass-market table gaming went well, So said, while the VIP business failed to meet expectations.

And the hotel occupancy rate reached over 90 percent with lower room rates.

Looking ahead, the opening of SJM's Grand Lisboa Palace looks likely in the second half of next year with the project completed and now awaiting official checks and permissions.

So also said some shops in the project's malls could open, but there are questions as not all the stores have been taken.

He also said the number of gaming tables in the project could be increased.

On the revenue outlook for next year, So said that was dependent on how the China-US trade talks go and whether the unrest in Hong Kong is fully resolved.

Analysts, however, are underweight on this year's overall gaming revenue in Macau.

Merrill Lynch expects casino revenue in October to drop 5.7 percent from 12 months ago. Nomura Securities, meanwhile, predicts the full-year gaming revenue will decrease by 2-3 percent.

SJM sees drop in casino revenues

by Tereza Cai

SJM (0880) chairwoman Daisy Ho Chiu-fung expects Macau's casino revenues to decline in November due to external uncertainties, in addition to November having fewer holidays.

Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau saw an 8.5 percent year-on-year increase in casino revenue at 25 billion patacas (HK$ 24.27 billion) last November.

Ho said hotels under SJM had a satisfactory performance for room reservations in November, with an 80-90 percent occupancy rate, similar to last November's rate.

Grand Lisboa Palace, SJM's future integrated resort on Cotai, is expected to open in late 2020, said Ho, while the gaming tables and the casino licenses bid will depend on the Macau government's future announcement.

The group reported a net gaming revenue in the third quarter of HK$8.06 billion, a decrease of 3.2 percent from a year ago, and for the nine months ended 30 September 2019, net gaming revenue was HK$24.78 billion, a decrease of 1.6 percent from the first nine months of 2018.

SJM warns as profit climbs 12pc to $3.2b

by Kevin Xu

Macau casino operator SJM (0880) said its net profit rose 12.5 percent year on year to HK$3.21 billion last year but warned that the Covid-19 outbreak would have a material adverse effect on its first-half results.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization increased 13.2 percent year on year to HK$4.21 billion in 2019,

Basic earnings per share were 56.6 HK cents, and a final dividend of 22 HK cents per share was declared.

Total net revenue fell 1.6 percent to HK$33.88 billion in 2019 from a year before, and net gaming revenue slid 1.5 percent year-on-year to HK$33.16 billion.

Mass market table gaming revenue went up 8.8 percent to HK$25.13 billion last year, while VIP gaming revenue plunged 30.39 percent to HK$13.69 billion.

Revenue from slot machine and other gaming operations was HK$1.19 billion, up by 2.5 percent year on year.

Shares of SJM fell 7.29 percent to HK$7.25 on Monday.

Macau's Secretary for Economy and Finance Lei Wai Nong said casinos in Macau will completely resume operations on March 20.

The government of Macau previously asked that all casino operators in Macau suspend operations for a 15-day period starting on February 5 to mitigate the spread of the deadly epidemic.

The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau has imposed strict rules for casinos including temperature checks, mask protection and health declarations for staff and guests.

Only half the tables on a casino floor are permitted to be open, to ensure adequate distance between people.

Patrons are not allowed to stand or congregate, says a government notice. Each baccarat table, which normally seats seven people and dozens of boisterous onlookers, will be allowed only four players.

Casinos say they are losing between US$1.5 million (HK$11.7 million) and US$2.6 million on a daily basis to keep staff on payroll and maintain contractual obligations.

Analysts and executives predict that even with the reopening of casinos, gaming revenue will drop at least 80 percent in February and 50 percent in March year on year, with the sector likely to take weeks to get back to normal.

SJM Holdings (880 HK)
4Q19: Beats On Luck And Write-Back; Outlook Uncertain


Despite 4Q19 adjusted EBITDA of HK$1,185m (+40% yoy, +25% qoq) beating expectations, it is a non-event, especially in the current COVID-19 environment.

Outlook-wise, management is adopting a “wait-and-see” attitude on Lisboa Palace’s opening and offers little confidence or certainty.

We expect SJM to be loss-making currently as it is operating at 25% of normal revenue levels while costs are shaved by only 5-10%.

Maintain HOLD and target price of HK$8.00. Entry price: HK$7.00.
