Genting Malaysia units issue additional US$100m senior notes at 7.25%
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 17): Two of Genting Malaysia Bhd’s (KL:GENM) subsidiaries, video lottery facility operator Genting New York LLC (Genny) and its unit Genny Capital Inc, have priced an additional US$100 million (RM427 million) of 7.25% senior unsecured notes, due 2029.
This came after the two indirect wholly-owned units priced an offering of US$525 million of 7.25% senior unsecured notes, also due 2029, last Tuesday.
"These additional notes form part of the same series as the initial US$525 million aggregate principal amount of notes that were priced on Sept 10, 2024 (initial notes) and the additional notes will carry the same terms as the initial notes," Genting Malaysia said in a bourse filing Tuesday.
Net proceeds from the additional corporate notes will be used to repay existing debts. “Approval in-principle has been received for the listing of the notes on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Ltd,” it said.
Post-issuance, Genting Malaysia’s gross borrowings is expected to increase to RM17.69 billion from RM14.98 billion. Net gearing is expected to increase to 1.04 times from 0.81 times.
S&P Global Ratings has assigned a BB+ (stable) rating to the notes, with Fitch Ratings Ltd opting for BBB- (negative).
Genting Malaysia said the additional notes have been offered and sold only to individuals reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers without having to register the notes based on the US Securities Act 1993's requirements for exemption from registration, and to certain non-US individuals in transactions outside the US.
"The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws. Accordingly, the notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws," it said.

Not 100% financed la. I said RWLV is largely financed by debt. I read a Nomura report some years ago talking abt it but cannot remember the details. RWLV can go for IPO next time but duno when because kena Nevada Gaming Commission money laundering charges + RWLV may take many more years to turn in real accounting Net Profit.

Wishing all holders good luck (including to MM himself la since he just bought), then start encouraging those who have not bought to buy (dont miss collect while its "cheap").
Short position increased to 9.04m as of yesterday. I suppose today increased again. Today hit 4.10 but still queue tak dapat. Tomorrow should get gua. :)
Remember rate cut 0.5 is not huge because previously interest rates is 5.50%. So now is 5%.. still a lot for those companies who are borrowing money from the US. By the way rate cut still good for us as reducing the financing cost.
kent9988 : if GB hv 1 billion USD asset in USA, GB will value asset as RM 4.8 billion (1: 4.80). For example, our currency currently at 1:4.30, then, USD asset will reduce to RM4.3 billion when convert to our MYR currency. So, in this case, GB will be get forex gain or loss ?
"aiming 4 mah" I think the probability for Genting to consolidate at around this level for a short while before moving up is much higher than its probability of dropping to RM4.
Base on latest quarterly result. 1) GENM's USD borrowings = RM8089m, i.e. RM3990m effectively belong to GENTING. 2) GENP's USD borrowings = RM955m, i.e. RM529m effectively belong to GENTING. 3) GENTING's USD borrowings = RM30872m, i.e. 30872-8089-955=RM21827m is GENTING own borrowings.
So total GENTING's USD borrowings = 3990+529+21827=RM26347m. A 0.5% reduction in interest rate will save GENTING about 26347*0.005=RM132m. Or EPS will increase by 3.4 sen, apply a PE of 8 times, GENTING fair value should go up by 27 sen.
The Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 0.5%..and signal further reductions over the next few years is generally positive for Genting Berhad in several ways...
Policymakers see the Fed’s benchmark rate falling by another half of a percentage point by the end of 2024, another full percentage point in 2025, and by a final half of a percentage point in 2026 to end in a 2.75 per cent to 3 per per cent range.
Genting Berhad has substantial USD-denominated debt, amounting to about USD 6.53 billion. The Fed’s decision to lower rates reduces Genting’s interest expenses on its USD borrowings...leading to immediate savings on debt servicing (recurring benefits). As interest rates fall further over the next few years, these savings will likely continue to improve Genting’s cash flow.
interest rates generally boost economic activity by encouraging borrowing and investment. Genting’s U.S. operations, such as RWLV, RWNYC and Empire Resorts, could benefit from increased consumer spending, driven by improved economic conditions and cheaper financing options for U.S. consumers.
Genting Berhad holds significant assets in the U.S., Singapore and UK. These assets contribute to its NAV but are vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations. When the USD, SGD weakens against the MYR, the value of U.S. assets in MYR terms decreases, affecting the company’s overall balance sheet and potentially its stock valuation.
Since Genting Berhad is trading significantly below its NAV, the market may already be factoring in the risks and uncertainties surrounding these assets, including currency fluctuations and the performance of U.S. operations. As a result, further reductions in U.S. asset values due to a weaker USD may not have an immediate or substantial impact on the share price, as it is already deeply discounted.
The Fed’s rate cuts provide a strong tailwind for Genting Berhad's potential U.S. IPO. The combination of lower borrowing costs, stronger consumer demand and improved equity valuations increases the likelihood of success for Genting’s IPO of RWLV, RWNYC and Empire Resorts..
If the current USDMYR exchange rate of 4.3 is sustainable, then Genting will benefit from the lower cost of servicing its substantial USD debt on a recurring basis, for as long as this exchange rate remains stable..
With the decline in the USDMYR exchange rate from RM4.71 to RM4.3, Genting Berhad has effectively reduced its USD-denominated borrowings.. which total USD 6.53 billion, by approximately RM2.6 billion. Moreover, if the USDMYR exchange rate drops further to RM4.0 by 2025, an additional debt reduction of around RM1.9 billion is anticipated.
Analysts' net debt forecasts for Genting Berhad appear achievable:
2023: MYR 15,000 million 2024: MYR 13,157 million 2025: MYR 11,072 million 2026: MYR 8,978 million.
This progressive reduction strengthens the company's financial position and prospects.
It's easy to calculate the savings on interest due to the reduction in debt. By applying the 5% interest rate to the debt reduction..we can estimate the recurring annual savings..
