The dividend will be payable on April 3 to shareholders registered as of March 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, chairman and CEO <strong>Enrique K. Razon Junior<\/strong> has announced plans to launch an online platform to expand Bloomberry&#8217;s presence in the electronic gaming space. According to local media, Razon Jr. said the new online platform targets a broader audience and &#8220;will compete directly with offerings of other electronic gaming license holders, including BingoPlus, the online casino brand developed by DigiPlus Interactive Corp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its\u00a0financial results\u00a0for the year 2024, the company reported gross gaming revenue (GGR) of PHP61.7bn (US$1.08bn). That\u2019s an increase of 6 per cent in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/bloomberry-resorts-posts-net-income-of-us170m-for-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">year-on-year terms<\/a>. The growth was mainly due to the opening of Solaire Resort North (SN) for 221 days of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The casino operator reported net income of PHP2.6bn (US$45.9m), down 72.63 per cent&nbsp;year-on-year. Consolidated net revenue was PHP53.1bn (US$930.6m), up 10 per cent, while non-gaming revenue was PHP10.7bn (US$187.3m), up 23 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consolidated EBITDA reached PHP16.6bn (US$290.5m), down 14 per cent. The decline was mostly due to lower EBITDA generated by Solaire Resort Entertainment City (SEC) and pre-operating expenses associated with SN, which were partially offset by its ramp-up. The mass market segment showed stronger performance than the VIP business.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/05\/Solaire-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Solaire Resort North.\" class=\"wp-image-17517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/05\/Solaire-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/05\/Solaire-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/05\/Solaire-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/05\/Solaire.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Solaire Resort Entertainment City.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n<p class=\"related-article__text\"><span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/bloomberry-names-gregory-francis-hawkins-as-acting-chief-operating-officer\">Bloomberry names Gregory Francis Hawkins as acting chief operating officer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company also announced plans for a new online platform to expand its presence in electronic gaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":29713,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Bloomberry Resorts announced a special cash dividend and strategic plans to launch a new online platform, expanding its presence in the electronic gaming vertical within the Philippines, directly competing with existing license holders like DigiPlus Interactive Corp.'s BingoPlus.
