DigiPlus reports ₱8.3 billion EBITDA and ₱8.9 billion net income for the first nine months of 2026

DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus), the Philippines' premier digital entertainment provider behind BingoPlus, ArenaPlus and GameZone, reported a net income of ₱8.9 billion for the first nine months of 2026, inclusive of fair value gains from International Entertainment Corporation's (IEC) convertible bonds. Improved cost efficiency more than offset lower revenues amid a weaker macroeconomic environment.

Margins widen as spending gets sharper

Nine-month EBITDA amounted to ₱8.3 billion. Third-quarter EBITDA edged up 0.3 percent quarter-on-quarter to ₱2.9 billion, while EBITDA margin expanded four percentage points to 22 percent. The margin improvement reflected more effective deployment of advertising and promotional spending, optimization of direct gaming costs, and tighter control of operating expenses.

Net gaming revenue after tax: ₱16.2 billion

For the first nine months, net gaming revenue (NGR) after tax decreased 17 percent year-on-year to ₱16.2 billion. NGR after-tax margin, measured against gross gaming revenue (GGR), expanded five percentage points quarter-on-quarter to 40 percent.

₱13.9 billion in taxes and regulatory fees

In the first nine months of the year, DigiPlus paid ₱13.9 billion in taxes and regulatory fees, contributing to government revenues that support public services, infrastructure and national development.

More players, more depositors

Average monthly active users (MAU) increased 3 percent quarter-on-quarter to 5.9 million, while monthly active bettors and depositors (MABD) rose 5 percent to 4.9 million.

A stronger balance sheet

DigiPlus ended the third quarter with ₱11.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents, up 11 percent from the previous quarter, and maintains a compelling dividend policy. It continued to strengthen its balance sheet after paying ₱3.8 billion in dividends and investing ₱12.2 billion in IEC's convertible notes in the first half of the year. This financial position supports DigiPlus' ability to fund growth initiatives — including but not limited to overseas markets, acquisitions, technology and product development — while maintaining financial discipline. The IEC investment year to date has resulted in a non-cash investment gain.

“Our first nine months performance reflects the progress we are making in strengthening operating efficiency while building our user base and content. We remain focused on sustainable growth through self-development of compelling content, stronger user acquisition and retention, and disciplined spending on A&P and investments. Our average monthly active bettors and depositors (MABD) continues to grow and our user retention cohort continues to improve.”

— Ping Chen, President, DigiPlus Interactive Corp.
