Recently, some analysts voiced concern about the cash positions of Macau concessionaires<\/a>, noting some may only have enough to capital to survive through the end of this year.<\/p>\nUBS echoes that refrain, pointing out that based on 2021 cash burn rates, the six operators have capital to survive anywhere from 1.1 years to 7.2 years. The bank says Grand Lisboa is the worst off, with cash to survive no more than 1.5 years, based on current burn rates.<\/p>\n
Making matters worse is that looming first-quarter earnings reports are unlikely to provide any relief, as Morgan Stanley expects MGM China, SJM, and Wynn Macau will each report negative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the January through March period.<\/p>\n
\nOur cash flow analysis shows that companies\u2019 cash can last for eight to 44 months, but that is based on fourth-quarter financials. March\/April 2022 are much weaker, and cash drain is much higher,\u201d<\/strong> according to the bank.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nSome research firms estimate the first quarter of 2022 was the worst three-month stretch for Macau operators since the July through September period of 2020.<\/p>\n
Maybe Some Signs of Hope<\/h2>\n
Amid ballooning debt burdens<\/a> and a shutdown of Shanghai, among other Chinese cities, optimism is hard to come by. Investors and operators alike will take it where they can get it.<\/p>\nBernstein sees Macau GGR returning to 80% of pre-pandemic levels next year. That’s with some border restrictions loosening in the second half of this year\u00a0 and notes the shares of the concessionaires are inexpensive.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect outperformance as the recovery kicks in over the next 12 months,\u201d according to the research firm.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe post Macau Outlook Worsens, UBS Sees Five Years to Rebound<\/a> appeared first on Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n- Coinsmart.
