The Malaysian maker of gaming equipment said in September that it intended to spin off its technical support and management division and list it on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Casino tech firm RGB posts profit up 28pct in 3Q
Casino equipment maker RGB International Bhd reported third-quarter unaudited profit that was up 28 percent judged year-on-year, to MYR11.99 million (US$2.86 million).

Group revenue during the three months to September 30 this year rose 41 percent to nearly MYR86.49 million, from MYR61.27 million a year earlier, the firm said in a Monday filing to Bursa Malaysia.

Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation stood at MYR20.94 million in the July to September period, up 33 percent from the prior-year period.

Revenue for product sales and marketing – the firm’s main segment – rose by 45.7 percent from the prior-year period to MYR56.16 million in the reporting period. Profit before tax for that division rose by 47 percent year-on-year to MYR7.40 million in the third quarter of 2018, which the company said was “due to an increase in the number of product sold” in the reporting quarter.

The technical support and management division achieved revenue of MYR28.36 million for the quarter to September 30, up 28 percent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2017. Quarterly pre-tax profit for that division however fell by 13 percent year-on-year “due to lower hold factors in certain outlets, higher depreciation on new machines for upgrading and expansion and increase of headcount in certain regions,” said the firm.

The company said in commentary on the reporting period that it “continues to capitalise on the strong performance of new and existing products” under its portfolio. It added that it continues to increase the number of concession machines “through existing and new concessions”, and to “carry out further improvement in the performance of concession machines” in the technical support and management division.

RGB International stated that it expected to “achieve a better performance” in 2018.

The Malaysian maker of gaming equipment said in September that it intended to spin off its technical support and management division and list it on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

RGB sets its sights on foreign shores
Lim Cian Yai | 04 May 2018 00:30

A+ A A- Having been involved in supplying gaming machines for more than 30 years, RGB International Bhd is now charting its next phase of growth with a potential foreign listing.

For years, the stock has been trading at an undemanding valuation of slightly above 10 times price-to-earnings (PE) ratio.

Currently it is trading at 25 sen a share, translating into a PE ratio of 11.08 times based on earnings per share (EPS) of 2.27 sen in the fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2017.

While managing director Datuk Chuah Kim Seah is reluctant to comment on the share’s price performance, he sees the counter as one with a strong growth theme. He said some foreign institutional funds have also expressed interest in the stock.

But it takes two to tango. The interest, however, did not translate into actual trading activities. Some of the key reasons is that the ringgit is a non reserve currency, coupled with its limited circulation and low liquidity.

likely to list in hongkong, mau higher dividend for shareholders this plus expansion :)

Group managing director Datuk Chuah Kim Seah told StarBiz that the group has already achieved RM29mil in net profit for the nine months of FY18.

GEORGE TOWN: RGB International Bhd expects a higher net pre-tax of nearly RM40mil for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2018 (FY18) compared to RM30.69mil in FY17.

Group managing director Datuk Chuah Kim Seah told StarBiz that the group has already achieved RM29mil in net profit for the nine months of FY18.

During that period, RGB’s sales of gaming machines generated RM209mil in revenue, exceeding the RM200mil targeted under its sales and marketing and manufacturing division.

“The average net profit per quarter was about RM10mil. This is why we are confident of achieving about RM40mil in net pre-tax profit this year,” he said. In 2007, the group achieved a net profit of RM39.4mil.

As its technical and support management (TSM) division generates more than half of the group’s net profit, RGB expects the division’s contribution to revenue to increase in 2019, due to a surge in demand.

“We expect to support 1,900 concession machines in 2019, compared to 1,000 this year. Barring unforeseen circumstances, a higher TSM revenue and net profit is expected in 2019.”

He said to expand its TSM division, the group has the option of either borrowing, generating fund internally or implement a fund-raising exercise.

“Currently, the group is able to provide funding for the TSM segment for about 1,000 machines yearly using internal fund,” Chuah added.

According to Chuah, the group also plans to list its TSM division in Hong Kong to raise funds for its business expansion.

“Hong Kong has a bigger capital market, which is why we are keen to pursue our plans there,” he said.

According to Chuah, the group intends to pay a higher dividend for FY19 to reward its shareholders. In 2018, the dividend paid was about 20% of its net profits.

On the capital expenditure for 2019, Chuah said the group planned to increase the budget by 25% from RM80mil in 2018.

He added that despite the increase in annual renewal licence fee to RM50,000 from RM10,000 presently, RGB expected its customers to continue ordering new gaming machines to replace the older ones currently in used.

“The recent announcement on the increase in renewal fee and gaming tax on the homefront will have little impact on the group’s net profit in 2019,” he said.

RGB International plans spin-off listing in Hong Kong

This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on September 24, 2018 - September 30, 2018.


-A+A
PENANG-based electronic gaming machines supplier RGB International Bhd plans to spin off its technical support and management (TSM) division and list it on the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd (HKEx) next year.

According to managing director and substantial shareholder Datuk Chuah Kim Seah, the company requires more capital to expand its concession business — in terms of location as well as number of outlets and gaming machines.

“We have discussed this during the board meeting. The board has given me permission to appoint a sponsor to undertake a spin-off listing in Hong Kong. We are currently looking at some quotations prepared by our (potential) sponsors and merchant bankers,” he tells The Edge in an interview in Cambodia.

While Chuah declined to share additional details on the initial public offering, he notes that RGB will maintain a controlling stake in the TSM business unit.

“I would not say this is a big IPO, but we are looking at the Main Board, definitely not the Second Board … GEM (growth enterprise market),” he stresses.

Chuah estimates that the overseas listing should materialise by the second half of 2019. “Once we appoint the sponsor, we hope to get it done within eight to nine months.”

RGB is 29.11% owned by the 65-year-old Chuah, who has been involved in the gaming and amusement industry for more than 30 years. His younger brother, Kim Chiew, is deputy chief operating officer with a 2.06% direct stake.

The established gaming products supplier has regional offices in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Macau, Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Timor-Leste, Laos and Nepal. The group has a workforce of more than 500 employees, including 200 engineers and qualified technicians.

Chuah highlights that the spin-off listing would enable RGB to expand its business into other countries outside Asia, such as South America and the Caribbean.

“This is part of our geographical expansion strategy to move our machines around for longer and to get more income streams,” he explains.



Higher valuations

When asked why RGB chose Hong Kong for the listing, Chuah says HKEx is an international listing platform with a large base of professional investors offering issuers business expansion opportunities. Moreover, most HKEx-listed firms enjoy superior IPO pricing and stock valuations.

“Hong Kong is the capital market where exciting things happen. The price-earnings ratio is much higher. In Malaysia, RGB is being valued at 12 times. But I was told that in Hong Kong, they are willing to give us 15 to 16 times, or even more. It (the spin-off listing) is good for our shareholders,” he says.

A home-grown integrated services provider, RGB primarily focuses on the manufacturing and distribution of gaming machines and casino equipment under its sales, services and marketing (SSM) division. The key suppliers for its third-party gaming products include Scientific Games, Aristocrat, SuzoHapp, Everi and R. Franco.

Notably, RGB also offers machine-leasing programmes and technical support management under its TSM division. Today, the group has about 40 revenue and profit-sharing concession venues across Asia with more than 6,000 gaming machines.

RGB — under the engineering services division — also provides preventive maintenance and repair services, turnkey machinery installation and system integration for more than 12,000 slot machines and gaming equipment in Asia, including for Resorts World Genting in Malaysia and various integrated resorts in the Philippines.

In the financial year ended Dec 31, 2017 (FY2017), RGB saw its revenue decline 0.5% to RM252.3 million, from RM253.5 million a year ago. Despite the slightly lower top line, the group’s net profit jumped 21% to RM30.7 million in FY2017, from RM25.3 million in FY2016.

For perspective, excluding the newly-formed engineering services division, about 60% of RGB’s group revenue is contributed by the SSM division, while TSM provides the remaining 40%. The higher-margin TSM business, however, accounts for 60% of the group’s earnings, with the remaining 40% from SSM.

On Sept 7, the Cambodian Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Interior presented the inaugural Cambodia International Gaming Conference (CIGC) in Phnom Penh.

Organised by RGB, the CIGC focused mainly on three key areas — regulation, international standards and responsible gaming.

RGB’s major SSM customers in Cambodia include Naga World Group, Holiday Group of Casinos, Donaco International Ltd (Star Vegas Casino), Star Paradise Casino, Sakhalin Vegas Casino and Thansur Bokor Highland Resort.

As for TSM in Cambodia, RGB has 2,236 slot machines in a

Resorts World plans to open three hotels, rebrand two others in 2018
posted January 01, 2018 at 06:51 pm by Roderick T. dela Cruz
Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. said it aims to continue the expansion of Resorts World Manila with the opening of three hotels and the rebranding of two facilities this year.
“Resorts World Manila has the largest concentration of hotel rooms in any development in the Philippines,” TIHGI president Kingson Sian told journalists over lunch.
Resorts World Manila, a joint venture of Alliance Global Group and Genting Hong Kong Ltd., has more than 1,800 rooms across four hotel brands: Marriott Hotel Manila and its West Wing expansion, Maxims Hotel, Remington Hotel and Belmont Hotel.
Sian, who is also the president and chief operating officer of Alliance Global Inc., said the plan is to have 3,500 hotel rooms by 2019 under various stages of development, including the completion of the 391-room Sheraton Manila Hotel, the 355-room Hilton Manila and the expansion of Maxims Hotel. Resorts World Manila is also opening the 11-story, 191-room Okura Hotel in 2018.

Visitors at Resorts World Manila enjoy the spectacle at the lighted pedestrian walkway called Lumina: Walkway of Lights which connects the second level of Maxims Hotel to Newport Mall.
Okura, a Japanese company, agreed to construct another 13-story hotel with 380 rooms in Bayshore City Resorts World, the second complex of TIHGI that would rise on the Entertainment City complex in Parañaque City.
Sian said other plans include the rebranding of Maxims Hotel and the renaming of the 712-room Remington Hotel into Holiday Inn Express.
Sian said average occupancy rate at the hotels remained healthy at over 80 percent.
Resorts World Manila, which opened in August 2009 across Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, also hosts Marriott Grand Ballroom, the country’s largest hotel ballroom; Newport Mall, a casino area, Newport Cinemas and Newport Performing Arts Theater.
The hotel and casino operator incurred a net loss of P36.8 million in the first nine months of 2017, after the June 2 incident when a gunman razed a portion of the facility resulting in the death of 38 people. The complex was closed for 27 days and reopened on June 29.
The company renovated the affected area and opened a lighted pedestrian walkway called Lumina: Walkway of Lights which connects the second level of Maxims Hotel to Newport Mall. Lumina has 100,000 multi-colored LED bulbs that brighten the 110-meter walkway.
TIHGI reported P15.7 billion in gross revenues and P2.6 billion earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in January to September.
The company aims to be among the premier world-class integrated entertainment and tourism destinations in Asia once the third phase of expansion is completed by 2018. Roderick T. dela Cruz
