Online gambling giant DigiPlus Interactive posted flat full-year 2025 net income of P12.6 billion even as revenue rose 12 percent to P84.2 billion, underscoring margin pressure from regulatory shifts and intensifying competition.

The company said strong first-half momentum helped offset softer activity after the third-quarter delinking of e-wallet access to licensed gaming platforms.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rose 2 percent to P14.2 billion, trailing revenue growth and compressing margins. Net margin slipped to about 15 percent from 16.8 percent a year earlier.

“Despite a challenging and evolving industry landscape, DigiPlus delivered a resilient performance in 2025, reflecting the strength of our platforms, disciplined execution, and the trust of our users,” chair Eusebio Tanco said.

Tanco recently aised his stake in DigiPlus to about 16 percent after a P1 billion share purchase, underscoring his strong conviction in the company’s long-term growth. 

“As we look ahead, we remain optimistic about our growth trajectory and are confident in our ability to continue innovating responsibly while creating long-term value,” Tanco said.
