Universal Entertainment Corporation has posted a significant net loss of ¥213.5 billion (approximately $1.5 billion) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, largely driven by continued operational setbacks at Okada Manila and broader market challenges.
The company’s financial results reflect ongoing difficulties at its integrated resort in the Philippines, where Okada Manila has been struggling to return to profitability following capacity limitations and reduced visitation. These operational headwinds significantly impacted Universal Entertainment’s consolidated performance during the year.
In addition to losses tied to Okada Manila, Universal Entertainment cited weakening demand in its pachinko and pachislot businesses in Japan as another contributing factor. Despite efforts to control costs and optimize operations, the combined effects of these challenges resulted in the company’s largest annual loss in recent years.
Looking ahead, UEC plans to double down on mass-market growth at Okada Manila. The firm intends to strengthen its loyalty schemes and partner with regional travel agents, while also expanding its international marketing offices to draw in more visitors.
Universal Entertainment said it remains focused on stabilizing performance and executing strategic initiatives to improve profitability going forward. The company highlighted plans to enhance its resort offerings, strengthen customer engagement, and pursue opportunities that support future growth despite the current downturn.
