Good morning. Cambodia's gaming market continues to see a gradual recovery, with NagaCorp reporting strong mass play, amid a resurgence of international visitors, including Chinese punters. The group's mass revenue was up 33 percent yearly in 1H24, however lackluster VIP revenue and a hefty impairment from its Vladivostok project dragged the group to a $1 million loss. Meanwhile, Macau's legacy operator SJM managed to substantially reduce its loss in the first half, seeing growth in revenue and EBITDA, as well as improving its market share.

NagaCorp sees increase in mass revenue, as footfall normalizes, but Vladivostok project impairment drags group to $1M loss in 1H24.
NagaCorp's first half-year results were weighed down by a significant impairment from its indefinitely stalled Vladivostok project, pulling the group to a $1 million loss from what would have been an $88 million profit in 1H24. The results were bolstered by strong mass performance at NagaWorld, with the return of visitation, including Chinese punters. VIP meanwhile failed to rise to the occasion. The group remains confident, however, that the tourism sector will maintain its recovery.
