The company reported a strong first half of 2022 with double-digit growth. This result was further complemented by triple-digit growth in gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the second quarter of this year. Overall, Bloomberry’s consolidated GGR for the first half of 2022 was PHP22.0 billion ($396.5 million), up 76% when compared to the PHP12.6 billion ($227.1 million) reported for the same period in 2021.

Enrique K. Razon Jr., CEO and chairman at Bloomberry Resorts

Bloomberry’s chairman and CEO, Enrique K. Razon Jr., outlined that the company has seen a strong recovery in its Philippine operations. He added: “Strong demand from the domestic mass market is pushing revenues closer to pre-pandemic levels and spurring the continued improvement of EBITDA and net income.” Razon Jr. pointed out that Bloomberry expects further recovery if there are no new COVID restrictions and travel increases. In conclusion, he revealed that operating its Solaire property and offering supreme service will be the main focus of the company.

A further breakdown provided by Bloomberry outlines the financial results for the second quarter of 2022. The company acknowledged that its operations within Metro Manila for the second quarter this year “remained under the lowest alert level—General Community Quarantine (GCQ) Alert Level 1.”

Without any doubt, the fewer COVID-related restrictions helped boost the company’s operations and resulted in a total GGR of PHP13.1 billion ($236.1 million) for the second quarter. When compared to Q2, 2021, when total GGR halted at PHP5.7 billion ($102.8 million), this result marked a strong 113% increase. What’s more, Bloomberry pointed out that the GGR for Solaire increased by 47% when compared to the first quarter this year.

In Q2 this year, the consolidated net revenue hit PHP10.0 billion ($180.3 million). This result marked once again a strong year-over-year growth of 112%. Similarly, consolidated EBITDA for the period soared. For the three months ended June 30 this year, consolidated EBITDA hit PHP3.9 billion ($70.3 million), up 277% when compared to the PHP1.0 billion ($18 million) reported for the same period last year.

Another increase was observed in the consolidated net profit for Bloomberry’s operations during the second quarter. According to a breakdown released by the company, the consolidated net profit in Q2 increased by 164% to PHP1.8 billion ($32.5 million) when compared to last year.
