ANALYSIS PROVIDED BY UNION GAMING GROUP
Gaming supplier shares couldn't overcome a difficult January macro. Fears
around a double-dip recession abounded as stimulus capital wore off. The
market grew incrementally, concerned about 4Q09 results (broader market and
gaming in particular), while fears on sovereign credit (Greece, Portugal,
Euro zone) began to infiltrate sentiment.
Gaming sector activity was mixed during the month. Pennsylvania passed its
gaming table bill; Kentucky filed multiple gaming bills with the Governor's
support; four additional proposed casinos met financial deadlines in Iowa;
Delaware advanced a table measure; Illinois' 10th casino license received
local planning approval; Calder represented the second Miami-Dade casino to
open in the county; and the prospect of racino approvals in Ohio appeared
greater given ballot initiative dynamics.
At the same time, Florida officially rejected the Seminoles compact
proposal; Delaware voted against casino expansion in the state; Indiana's
land based casino proposal was shot down; and Missouri decided to yank
Pinnacle's President casino license.
Market data improved in Las Vegas with November and December (delayed)
visitation and airlift statistics showing growth along with Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) attendance up a resounding 6% during the period.
Macau's gaming revenue continue to grow at a blistering pace, along with
continuation of momentum in Asian gaming given a partial opening of
Genting's Resort World Sentosa (RWS) in Singapore and the publication of
Junket rules by the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) in that market.
The AGEM Index
The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) produces the
monthly AGEM Index that comprises 17 global gaming suppliers throughout the
world. A total of 12 suppliers are based in the United States and are
listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq or AMEX, while two trade on the Australian
exchange, one supplier trades on the Athens exchange, one trade on the
Milan exchange, and another trades on the Taiwan OTC exchange. The index is
computed based on the month-end stock price (adjusted for dividends and
splits) of each company and weighted based on approximation of market
capitalization. Market capitalizations for manufacturers trading on foreign
exchanges have been converted to US dollar equivalents as of month-end for
comparability purposes. The AGEM Index is based on a 100-point value as of
January 2005.
