Malaysian casino equipment supplier and distributor RGB International Bhd reported a second-quarter profit attributable to its shareholders of about MYR14.0 million (US$3.3 million), down 25.7 percent from a year earlier.
The company reported revenue of MYR94.9 million for three months to June 30, down 4.7 percent from a year ago, according to a Wednesday filing to Bursa Malaysia.
RGB announced a “second interim single tier dividend” of MYR0.004 per share, to be paid on October 16. The firm paid a first interim dividend of MYR0.004 per share on July 18.
The company recorded earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of nearly MYR17.8 million in the April to June period, down 40.5 percent from a year ago.
RGB’s administrative expenses in the first six months of 2025 rose by 47.6 percent year-on-year, to MYR9.3 million. The firm’s selling and marketing spending increased by 120.1 percent year-on-year, to MYR4.3 million.
The company also said it recorded a circa MYR13.0-million loss in the reporting period related with “foreign currency translations”. That was up from a MYR574,000 loss in the prior-year period.
According to Wednesday’s filing, the bulk of RGB’s second-quarter revenue – i.e., nearly MYR77.5 million – was from sales and marketing of products, up 14.2 percent from a year earlier.
The firm said the increase was “mainly due to higher number of products sold and variation in product mix”.
Revenue from the technical support and management segment in the reporting period fell by 45.5 percent year-on-year, to MYR16.3 million.
The company said the decline was mainly due to “weaker performance” in some “key” gaming outlets in which RGB is involved, “driven by adverse weather conditions, high jackpot payouts and the temporary closure of certain … outlets in the Poipet region in the current quarter,” stated the firm.
RGB said in Wednesday’s filing that the group’s prospects “remain robust, bolstered by the promising market conditions, especially in … the Philippines and Cambodia”.
Last year, RGB had mentioned that a wholly-owned unit, RGB (Macau) Ltd, had signed an agreement with FIRM 614 Co Ltd to distribute gaming equipment in Cambodia.
“As a pivotal slot machine distributor and major player in the machine concession business in the region, the group is well positioned to capitalise on the [gaming] industry growth,” it added.
