Universal Entertainment swings to net profit in 1Q22 as restrictions ease
Universal Entertainment Corp swung to a positive net income of JPY10.9 billion ($84.3 million) for the quarter ending March 31, 2022, owed to an increase in sales within its amusement equipment business, and a shedding of capacity constraints from March 1 for its integrated resorts business.
Total first quarter sales (revenue) totalled JPY27.7 billion, up 89.1 percent from the prior year period in 2021.
The company, which is involved in Okada Manila in Entertainment City said it has been able to operate its casino, hotel, restaurants and other facilities at the resort at 100 percent capacity since March 1, 2022, due to the easing of restrictions by the Philippines government.
