PhilWeb Q2 Revenue Nears Doubling on Online Platform Shift to IR Operators
TL;DR — PhilWeb posted Q2 revenue of US$5.8M, up 96% YoY, with its online platform delivering US$3.3M, up 152% QoQ. Net income surged 237% to US$767K and EBITDA margin hit 15%. The shift to B2B services for major IRs plus new board talent and AI plans mark a completed pivot from legacy outlets.
SCCG Take — Platform leverage and AI priorities give PhilWeb clearer capital efficiency in regulated Philippine gaming. Execution on compliance tools will determine if the model scales beyond current IR contracts.
PhilWeb Corp reported second-quarter revenue of US$5.8 million, a 96 percent year-on-year increase and 51 percent sequential rise. The Philippines gaming technology firm attributed the performance to growth in its proprietary interactive platform solution, which generated US$3.3 million, up 152 percent quarter-on-quarter. Net income reached US$767,000, up 237 percent from the prior quarter, according to reporting by Inside Asian Gaming.
EBITDA totaled US$840,590, an 886 percent year-on-year gain and 119 percent sequential increase. The EBITDA margin expanded from 10 percent in the first quarter to 15 percent. For the first six months of 2026, revenue stood at US$9.6 million, up 63 percent, with net income of US$995,650.
Platform Delivery to Licensed Operators Drives Results
PhilWeb has transitioned from operating e-Games outlets to supplying online gaming platforms. It now supports Hann Resorts, Okada Manila, NUSTAR and Newport World Resorts, in addition to PT Gaming and FBM Philippines. President Brian Ng said the sequential growth and margin expansion “validate the massive operating leverage of our digital gaming solutions segment.” Ng added that empowering tier-one licensed operators and global content providers builds a regulatory-compliant digital ecosystem that drives long-term commercial value.
Board Addition and AI Focus Shape Execution
The results noted the election of businessman Lance Gokongwei to the company’s Board of Directors. Gokongwei’s addition is seen as accelerating technology execution and AI infrastructure deployment. With a cleaner operating baseline and strengthened capitalization, PhilWeb is scaling B2B AI-enabled infrastructure. The AI initiative targets fraud detection, regulatory compliance and customer service efficiency. These capabilities position the firm as a technology leader in the region’s regulated digital platform industry.
