DigiPlus has reported a resilient financial performance for 2025, posting net income of PHP 12.6bn, broadly in line with the previous year despite regulatory changes and intensifying competition.
Total revenue increased 12% to PHP 84.2bn, supported by strong momentum in the first half of the year. The company said growth was partially offset by softer activity in the third quarter following the delinking of e-wallet in-app access to licensed online gaming platforms. EBITDA rose 2% year-on-year to PHP 14.2bn.
Fourth-quarter results reflected the impact of regulatory adjustments, with net income falling 36% year-on-year to PHP 2.5bn and revenue declining 27% to PHP 17.3bn. However, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, profitability improved as cost controls took effect, with net income rising 43% from the third quarter.
The company ended the year with PHP 23.4bn in cash and minimal debt of PHP 745.8m, enabling it to declare a cash dividend of PHP 3.8bn, or PHP 0.83 per share. The dividend is payable by April 15, 2026 to shareholders on record as of April 1.
Strategically, DigiPlus is expanding beyond its core digital platforms, which include BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone. In November 2025, it subscribed to HK$1.6bn (US$203.8m) worth of convertible notes issued by International Entertainment, providing an option to acquire a 53.89% stake in a Manila-based integrated resort.
The company also continued to strengthen its content pipeline, launching proprietary livestreaming games and adding more than 500 new titles during the year. At the same time, it enhanced responsible gaming measures, including the rollout of an insurance-backed surety bond programme and improved customer verification systems.
Looking ahead, DigiPlus is advancing its international expansion plans, with a Singapore hub established and market entry preparations underway in Brazil and South Africa.
