19年Q4業績勝預期
金沙中國母公司拉斯維加斯金沙(LVSUS)公佈了19年第四季業績,其中金沙中國(1928HK)淨收入為22.4億美元,同比減少0.8%;經調整EBITDA為8.11億美元(同比增長3.2%,環比增長7.4%),勝我們預期的8.01億美元,主要由於1)核心中場保持強勁而穩健的增長、2)良好的成本控制、3)翻新後的百利宮娛樂場的貢獻。期內集團經調整EBITDA利潤率為36.2%(同比上升1.4個百分點,環比上升0.4個百分點)。集團第四季核心中場博彩毛人入為7.89億美元(同比增長8.8%,環比增長3.5%),創按季歷史新高,跑贏行業增速。核心中場每日單桌淨贏額持續提升,並創21季新高,凸顯集團日益改善的營運效率。
公司業務在去年第四季行業逆風仍保持韌性
去年第四季澳門博彩毛收入同比下跌8.4%,訪澳旅客亦同比下跌7.9%,主要是澳門迴歸20週年慶典,澳門政府於11月中旬開始升級安保檢查及交通管制等措施,影響11月中旬至12月下旬的訪澳旅客數目。然而,集團在第四季的業績展示出強勁的韌性及項目對旅客的增引力。第四季博彩毛收入同比僅微跌3.8%,環比上升7.0%,跑贏行業(同比下跌8.4%,環比上升1.9%)。管理層預計四季酒店(290間)及瑞吉酒店倫敦人(370間)套房分別將於2020年上半年及下半年推出,新套房推出後將增集團對旅客的承接力。集團多達80%的收入及92%的EBITDA來自中場及非博彩業務,我們認為業務具防守性及穩定性,隨着澳門周邊基建陸續落成,而且在澳門擁有多達12,401間四、五星級客房,增長前景仍然廣闊。
新型肺炎影響顯著,短期需關注事態發展
我們認為新型肺炎對集團短期的影響顯著,管理層承認肺炎對業務的影響前所未見。內地暫停旅行團出境遊及個人遊簽註,而中國及港、澳地區加強檢疫措施及交通管制均限制旅客出行,今年春節黃金週訪澳旅客同比大跌85%。澳門政府宣佈所有賭場自2月5日起停業15天,對集團2020年第一季業績帶來嚴重衝擊,估計停業15天為集團帶來每天約4.9百萬美元的開支。
調整盈利預測,微降目標價至42.8港元,維持“增持”評級
基於疫情的影響,我們分別下調20-22年經調整EBIDTA預測17.5%、10.9%及5.8%至28.5億美元、34.2億美元及37.3億美元,預測20-22年集團經調整EBITDA分別同比-10.6%、+20.0%及+8.9%。雖然公司業績短期受到肺炎疫情影響,但對中長期發展影響不大,而且長線估值便宜,我們把目標價從43.2港元下調至42.8港元,維持“增持”評級。
風險提示:(一)簽證政策收緊;(二)疫情擴散風險;(三)“澳門倫敦人”項目改造延期
