Reef Casino Trust (RCT) today announced that the estimated distribution for the six months 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 is 12.05 cents per unit (or approximately $6.0 million in total).

The operator of the Reef Hotel Casino in Cairns has reported profitable and strong trading for the first five months in 2021. This has resulted in strong rental income for the Trust. June trading has yet to conclude.

Local and domestic markets have held up well. Since just before Easter, Cairns has seen a return of interstate visitors in good numbers. International borders remain closed. The result partly reflects a degree of short term trading variability in table gaming.

The estimated net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2021 is approximately $3.0 million after deducting distributions to unitholders, estimated to be approximately $3.0 million, which have been treated as finance costs in accordance with IFRS.

Authorised by the board.

  • Distributable profit is a non-IFRS measure that is determined in accordance with the Trust Constitution and used as the basis for determining distributions to unitholders. Distributable profit is determined as net profit for the period, adding back distributions to unitholders which have been treated as finance costs in accordance with IFRS. The estimated distributable profit has not been audited.
