Pagcor’s net income tops US$21 mln in first quarter

State-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (Pagcor) reported net income of PHP937.6 million (US$21.2 million) for the first three months of 2015. The figure was 1.9 percent higher than in the prior-year period.

Total revenue however decreased to PHP10.2 billion, down from the PHP10.4 billion reported in the first quarter of 2014. Income from gaming operations totalled PHP8.4 billion in the three months ended March 31, up by 47 percent year-on-year, according to Pagcor.

Total operating expenses increased by 21 percent year-on-year to PHP4.4 billion in the first quarter of 2015.

Pagcor, an operator of publicly owned casinos as well as the regulator for the country’s entire casino industry, contributed a total of PHP4.9 billion to state funds during the latest reporting period.
