Century Entertainment International Holdings Ltd. (Hong Kong-listed) has announced that it expects to post a profit of not less than HKD 25 million for the six-months ended 30 September 2025, reversing a HKD 11.4 million loss in the same period last year. This turnaround is chiefly attributed to rising revenues from two newly-operational subsidiaries: one being the company’s gaming-technology platform business in the Philippines, and the other a camellia-oil venture in China.
In its HKEX filing the company detailed that the Philippine gaming technology business—set up as a joint venture with World Platinum Technologies Inc. (WPT) in Manila—recorded unaudited monthly revenues of approximately HKD 800,000 (July), HKD 1,000,000 (August) and HKD 3,268,000 (September) of 2025. Additionally, the firm recognised a one-off other income of around HKD 30 million following a settlement agreement executed on 2 July 2025 with its former controlling shareholder and CEO, Ng Man Sun, which allowed the offsetting of previously outstanding receivables.
Beyond the Philippine venture, Century Entertainment is pursuing broader regional growth: it has signed a non-binding letter of intent with a casino operator in Vietnam to explore deployment of its gaming-system platform, and is repositioning itself away from its former Cambodia VIP-room operations which were terminated earlier in 2025. The company emphasises that the new B2B gaming-platform business model offers more sustainable, scalable revenue potential compared to its legacy VIP room business.
Investors and analysts will nevertheless be watching closely: although the profit alert marks a positive shift, trading in the company’s shares has been suspended since 26 June 2025 due to auditor concerns over going-concern status, and the new businesses are still at early stages of revenue generation.
