DigiPlus announces Q2 results
Background/Description of the Disclosure

DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus), the fastest-growing digital entertainment group in the country, posted a net income of ₱3.2 billion in the second quarter of the year, expanding 389 percent from a year ago.

DigiPlus’ sustained profit momentum was fueled by the robust performance of its digital retail segment combined with the rationalization of revenue sharing with Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) for electronic games implemented in April 2024.

Revenues jumped 295 percent from its year-ago level to ₱18.9 billion on higher user traffic combined with fresh contribution from new game offerings. Meanwhile, EBITDA surged 351 percent year-on-year to ₱3.4 billion.

Meanwhile, for the first half of the year, DigiPlus registered a net income of ₱5.2 billion surging 377 percent from ₱1.1 billion in the same period a year ago. Revenues soared 263 percent to ₱32.5 billion from ₱8.9 billion. EBITDA, on the other hand, reached ₱5.5 billion, jumping 336 percent from the previous year.

“The first semester was encouraging for DigiPlus. Despite the challenges, we strive to continue to innovate and deliver unparalleled digital entertainment experiences to our customers. By optimizing user engagement through personalized experiences and diversifying our content offerings, we believe we are poised to capture the strong growth of the digital entertainment industry,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco.

Driving innovation and contributing to the country’s economic growth:

DigiPlus is committed to driving innovation and contributing to the country’s economic growth and social development. In the first half of 2024, DigiPlus paid ₱15.1 billion in taxes and fees to the national government. Further, it provides jobs to over 3,300 employees in different parts of the country.

DigiPlus, through BingoPlus Foundation, is dedicated to making a lasting impact through its corporate social responsibility efforts, supporting communities, and fostering a resilient future for all.

DigiPlus remains steadfast in its commitment beyond delivering premier digital entertainment by championing responsible gaming practices. Ensuring a controlled gaming experience for customers and supporting communities in need, the Foundation increased its outreach budget by 500% to over P100 million, demonstrating significant dedication to social impact initiatives.

BingoPlus Foundation empowers communities through education. With the FutureSmart Scholarship Program, the Foundation supports iAcademy scholars and is expanding to include more technology universities, targeting 130 additional scholars over the next two years. Additionally, a ₱17.5 million scholarship grant has been committed for technology students for the 2024-2025 school year. Aside from the partnership with iAcademy, BingoPlus Foundation also partnered with SM Foundation to provide full scholarships to 30 tech students from vulnerable communities. In addition, BingoPlus Foundation plans to partner with various educational institutions to teach basic financial literacy to the less fortunate members of society.

In healthcare, the Foundation provides medical assistance, ambulance donations, and partners with the Philippine Red Cross for blood donation drives, addressing critical healthcare needs. The Foundation is also looking at telemedicine, using technology to address the medical needs of the unserved and underserved areas of our economy.

Through the Barangay Bigayan project, BingoPlus Foundation has enhanced healthcare accessibility in several barangays and supported the LGBTQIA+ community by donating HIV self-testing kits.
