Singapore

GAMING stalwart Genting Singapore reported a 24 per cent rise year-on-year in net profit to S$177.62 million for the second quarter ended June 30, lifted partly by other operating income and savings from having redeemed its S$2.3 billion 5.125 per cent perpetual subordinated capital securities.

Revenue slid 6 per cent to S$560.3 million while earnings per share clocked 1.47 Singapore cents, up from 1.19 cents a year ago.
