DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus), the pioneer in digital entertainment in the Philippines, reported its financial results of operations for the full year ended December 31, 2024, based on unaudited financial statements. Beyond financial success, DigiPlus remains a key contributor to the Philippine economy. In 2024 alone, the company paid ₱33.7 billion in taxes and regulatory fees, directly supporting essential public services and national development initiatives. Furthering its commitment to social impact, DigiPlus invested ₱100 million through the BingoPlus Foundation, benefiting nearly 120,000 individuals across healthcare, education, disaster resilience, and digital responsibility. In the wake of Typhoon Kristine, the Foundation provided ₱37 million in aid, helping families rebuild their lives. The company’s operations also provide employment to over 3,000 people nationwide. DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco underscored the company’s role as a responsible corporate citizen, emphasizing the company’s contributions beyond business growth. “Beyond our business, we take our role in nation-building seriously, with ₱33.7 billion paid in taxes and regulatory fees in 2024 alone. Our success directly translates into meaningful contributions to national development – funding essential public services and infrastructure that benefit millions of Filipinos.” Posting growth while contributing to the economy DigiPlus posted a net income of ₱12.6 billion in 2024, soaring 207 percent year-over-year, driven by the sustained momentum of its retail gaming segment, the successful launch of new livestreamed games, and the continued expansion of its game portfolio across BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, SpinPlus, and GameZone. Additionally, the harmonization of regulatory fees further enhanced profitability, creating a more stable environment for long-term growth. Total revenues surged by 176 percent to ₱75.2 billion, while EBITDA climbed by 192 percent to ₱13.9 billion year-over-year, reflecting the company’s ability to scale efficiently and optimize its expanding user base. By the end of 2024, DigiPlus recorded over 40 million registered users across its digital platforms, reinforcing its leadership in the Philippine digital gaming space. Capping a strong fourth quarter DigiPlus closed the year with strong fourth-quarter results, posting a net income of ₱3.8 billion, up 93 percent year-over-year. Revenues jumped by 110 percent to ₱23.7 billion, while EBITDA expanded by 103 percent to ₱4.6 billion. One of the biggest growth drivers was DigiPlus’ introduction of uniquely Filipino, culturally resonant, and technology-driven games. The launch of Pinoy Drop Ball – a homegrown creation designed to capture the excitement of traditional perya games – marked another industry first. Launched in September 2024, Pinoy Drop Ball is the first-ever livestreamed drop ball game in the Philippines, blending tradition with digital innovation. DigiPlus invested heavily in research and development to ensure the game truly embodies the authenticity and joy of local town fiestas, while modernizing the experience for mobile gaming. The launch of Pinoy Drop Ball, alongside Pa Pula, Pa Puti and Color Game Plus, and other proprietary livestreamed, interactive game formats fueled significant revenue growth. Meanwhile, Super Ace Jackpot, introduced in mid-2024, became a key driver of engagement, solidifying DigiPlus’ leadership in digital gaming. Declaring cash dividends On March 7, 2025, the Board of Directors of DigiPlus approved the declaration of a cash dividend amounting to ₱0.86 per outstanding common share. The dividend will be payable on April 4, 2025 to stockholders of record as of March 24, 2025. This reflects DigiPlus’ commitment to delivering strong shareholder returns amid its rapid growth. ... |
