- Weaker premium gaming and an unfavorable September rolling win rate weighed on Resorts World Sentosa.
- Non-gaming revenue remained resilient despite reduced hotel room inventory.
- Resort renewal work is expected to constrain operating capacity through 2027.
Genting Singapore reported a 42.2% year-on-year fall in third-quarter net profit to S$54.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The Business Times reported that revenue fell 12.9% to S$566.1 million as softer premium gaming activity and an unfavorable September rolling win rate weighed on the result.
Gaming revenue drives the decline
Gaming revenue at Resorts World Sentosa fell 21.7% to S$315 million from S$402.3 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA declined 27.4% to S$161.8 million, although Genting Singapore said adjusted EBITDA would have risen by about S$36 million on a normalized rolling-hold basis.
Non-gaming revenue increased 1.5% to S$250.9 million despite lower hotel room availability. The contrast highlights the resort's reliance on gaming performance while renovation work limits parts of its hospitality capacity.
Renewal keeps capacity constrained
Genting Singapore said Resorts World Sentosa is entering another phase of renewal covering its hotel portfolio, gaming areas, lounges, dining venues and guest spaces. The company expects the work to constrain operating capacity through 2027 while it targets year-end travel and festive demand in the final quarter of 2026.
The group is also strengthening its premium-customer strategy through business development, marketing, programming and new openings at its Weave lifestyle precinct. For investors, the near-term trade-off is weaker gaming momentum against investment intended to improve the resort's long-term appeal.
Company and competitive position
Genting Singapore operates Resorts World Sentosa, an integrated destination in Singapore that combines gaming, hospitality, attractions, dining and entertainment. Its portfolio includes Universal Studios Singapore, hotels and other visitor facilities, while the company describes itself as a key player in Singapore and Asia. In Singapore's two-resort market, it is the Sentosa-focused operator competing directly with Marina Bay Sands, which has a more central business and convention location. Genting Singapore is therefore more concentrated geographically and more oriented toward a destination and leisure model than its main local rival.
