IAG JUN 2022年6月 亞博匯 12 GOLDSTEIN: MBS TO REACH US$1 BILLION EBITDA IN 2022 GOLDSTEIN：濱海灣金沙EBITDA 有望在2021年達到10億美元 LAS VEGAS SANDS CHAIRMAN AND CEO , Rob Goldstein, says he is confident the company’s Singapore integrated resort, Marina Bay Sands (MBS), can surpass US$1 billion in Adjusted EBITDA in 2022 following recent announcements around the reopening of international borders. “That momentum is continuing to go upwards in April,” Goldstein said. “I think Singapore is back and will experience the same post- COVID numbers as the US in my opinion. The question is how fast does it get there? The demand is there and will continue, assuming no more surprises from the pandemic. “We’d like to think Singapore can return to a US$1 billion [EBITDA] run rate this year, so US$58 million in March feels pretty good, and that momentum is continuing.” Asked which gaming segments were showing the clearest rebound, Goldstein added, “It is all coming back. In the month of March we saw outsized demand from free independent travelers on the pure leisure side, we saw premium mass, we saw high-end play coming from all over the [Pacific] rim. “Singapore is in a unique position. Obviously Macau is in a difficult place right now so people will look for other opportunities. They want to travel, and our MBS product has a very opportunistic, unique window here. “It’s leisure travel, VIP, premium mass, mass casino – it’s universal. It feels like a very positive beginning, and I feel like MBS is going to have a very productive 2022.” 拉斯維加斯金沙集團主席 兼行政總裁Rob Goldstein 表示，在新加坡近期宣佈重新開放國際旅遊後，他 相信該公司位於新加坡的綜合度假村濱海灣金沙， 在2022年的經調整EBITDA有望超過10億美元。 「4月將繼續保持這一上升勢頭。」Goldstein 表示：「我認為新加坡正在復甦的路上。在我看 來，新加坡將經歷和美國一樣的疫後高速復甦的情 況，問題只是速度有多快而已。需求是存在的，只 要不再有疫情的意外干擾。」 「我們認為新加坡今年能夠恢復到10億美元的 EBITDA，三月收入5800萬美元十分不錯，並且這 一勢頭將繼續下去。」 被問及哪些博彩領域可能出現明顯反彈 時，Goldstein補充道：「一切都在回來。三月，我 們看到來自休閒自由行遊客爆發的巨大需求，還有 大量來自泛太平洋地區的高端遊客。」 「新加坡地理位置獨特。顯然，澳門現在處境 艱難，所以人們會尋找其他機會。他們想旅遊，而 我們的濱海灣金沙恰恰可以補上這一點。」 「這裡有休閒旅遊、貴賓博彩、高端中場及中 場，適合所有人群。我感覺這是一個積極的開端， 濱海灣金沙將迎來富有成效的2022年。」
