The Malaysian gaming equipment supplier expects improved earnings in the second half, supported by machine deliveries and Philippine operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Malaysia.- RGB International Bhd has said that it expects its earnings to improve in the second half of 2026, driven by stronger gaming machine sales and a recovery in its technical support and management (TSM) business. The company plans to deliver the remaining 1,700 machines<\/strong> of its 3,000-unit target for the year and is relocating machines from underperforming outlets in the Philippines to stronger venues following regulatory approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company has also submitted a tender to supply gaming machines to a major Macau casino. The process is expected to conclude in the third quarter, with deliveries potentially starting in the fourth quarter. The tender is linked to Macau\u2019s updated technical standards for electronic gaming machines and the replacement cycle expected to follow as casino operators upgrade their gaming floors over the next one to two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, RGB is developing its digital gaming business in the Philippines, covering game content, aggregation and white-label services. The company has submitted a bid to one integrated resort and is in discussions with two others. Management expects the digital business to begin contributing to group earnings within one to two years<\/strong>, with its white-label model potentially generating a 20 to 30 per cent revenue share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RGB reported a 26.3 per cent year-on-year decline in second-quarter net profit to MYR10.33m (US$2.45m), despite revenue increasing 15 per cent to MYR109.63m. First-half net profit fell 26.5 per cent to MYR19.4m, while revenue rose 16.9 per cent to MYR197.01m.The company said margins were affected by one-off discounts and extended payment terms offered to Philippine customers placing large orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Malaysian gaming equipment supplier expects improved earnings in the second half, supported by machine deliveries and Philippine operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":680,"featured_media":777046799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"RGB International Bhd anticipates improved H2 2026 earnings, driven by significant gaming machine deliveries and a recovery in its Technical Support and Management (TSM) segment.
