Estimated distribution for the six months ended 31 December 2021
Update on operating results for the year ended 31 December 2021
Estimated distribution for the six months ended 31 December 2021
Reef Casino Trust (RCT) has today announced that the estimated distribution for the six months 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021 is 16.58 cents per unit (or approx.$8.3 million in total).
The estimated distribution reflects RCT’s distribution policy to distribute 100% of distributable profit*.
The actual distribution will be decided and approved at the Reef Casino Trust board meeting to be held towards the end of February 2022 following the approval of the audited results.
As the actual distribution for the first half year was 12.29 cents per unit, the total distribution for the full year 2021 is estimated to be 28.87 cents per unit which equates to approximately $14.4 million in distributable profit* for the year.
Update on operating results for the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trust has had a strong year 2021 to date with strong rental income received from the Reef Hotel Casino.
With slightly more than 2 weeks’ trading to go before the end of the financial year, our current estimate of the distributable profit* for the full year 2021 is approximately $14.4 million.
In the 1[st] half year, the Trust reported a distributable profit of $6.1 million. In the 2nd half, the Trust distributable profit is estimated to be $8.3 million.
The casino performed strongly in 2021 to date. Complex food and beverage also performed well. During most of the 2[nd] half year, the closure of Queensland State borders to NSW and Victoria has particularly impacted Hotel room performance which is dependent on the status of the State borders. International borders remain closed.
The Reef Hotel Casino continues to operate by reference to a site specific COVID Safe Plan approved by Queensland Health. This plan has been amended over time as restrictions change. From 17 December 2021, a mandatory vaccination policy applies for employees and patrons.
