DigiPlus triples profit with game expansions, new launches


Tanco-led DigiPlus Interactive Corp. (DigiPlus), the pioneer in digital entertainment in the Philippines, reported that its net income tripled to ₱12.6 billion in 2024.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said the 207 percent year-over-year jump in its earnings was 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.

“Additionally, the harmonization of regulatory fees further enhanced profitability, creating a more stable environment for long-term growth,” DigiPlus said.

Total revenues surged by 176 percent to ₱75.2 billion, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (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.

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 firm said, adding that it invested heavily in research and development to ensure its games’ authenticity while modernizing the experience for mobile gaming.

Beyond financial success, DigiPlus said it 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.

He noted that, “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.”

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.
