Philippine digital entertainment giant DigiPlus Interactive maintained strong growth in the first nine months before 2025, but saw a significant decline in performance in the third quarter. Despite a cumulative net profit of 10.1 billion pesos, a year-on-year increase of 16%, the single quarter faced the impact of regulatory policies, highlighting the high sensitivity of the online entertainment industry to the policy environment.
Continuous growth in the first three quarters
From January to September 2025, DigiPlus's total revenue climbed to 66.8 billion pesos, an increase of about 30% compared to the same period last year; net profit reached 10.1 billion pesos, a year-on-year rise of 16%, showing the company's stable expansion momentum in the digital entertainment market.
Third quarter profits halved
Affected by the Philippine government's requirement for electronic wallet platforms to sever ties with online gambling-related services, DigiPlus's net profit in the third quarter plummeted by 59% year-on-year, with revenue falling by 23%. This policy directly impacted the company's core business segment, leading to a significant pullback in single-quarter performance.
Regulatory impact and business adjustments
Analysts point out that regulatory measures have put significant pressure on the Philippine digital entertainment industry. DigiPlus stated that it will continue to optimize its business structure to adapt to policy changes and seek long-term growth paths in a strict regulatory environment, maintaining its leading market position.
