Paradise Entertainment Limited shareholders approved a final dividend of HK$0.025 (US$0.0032) per ordinary share for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 during the company’s annual general meeting, taking total distributions for the year to HK$105.2 million ($13.43 million).
The final dividend lifted the total payout for 2025 to HK$0.10 ($0.0128) per share. Shareholders voted unanimously in favour of the proposal, with 100 percent of votes cast supporting the resolution.
The approval comes as the Macau-focused gaming technology and casino services provider continues to navigate changes in the region’s gaming market and operating environment.
Strong shareholder backing at AGM
The company secured broad support across all resolutions presented at the annual general meeting.
Independent non-executive directors Li John Zongyang and Liu Ka Ying Rebecca were both re-elected with 99.97 per cent approval from shareholders. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu was also re-appointed as the company’s independent auditor after receiving 99.75 per cent support.
Shareholders further approved general mandates allowing the board to allot and issue new shares, as well as repurchase up to 10 per cent of the company’s issued shares.
The voting outcome reflected strong shareholder backing for the group’s current corporate governance and capital management plans.
Dividend supported by cash position
Paradise Entertainment maintained a solid balance sheet position at the end of 2025, supporting the company’s decision to proceed with the dividend distribution.
As of 31 December 2025, the group reported cash holdings of around HK$378.1 million ($48.25 million). Total borrowings stood at HK$110.8 million ($14.14 million), while net assets reached HK$475.1 million ($60.64 million).
The company’s gearing ratio was reported at 23.3 per cent.
The financial position provided the group with sufficient liquidity while continuing to return capital to shareholders through dividend payments.
Macau market remains key focus
Paradise Entertainment continues to operate in Macau through its gaming technology and casino services business. The company is known for its electronic gaming equipment and casino management operations in the region.
The gambling sector in Macau has recently undergone operational changes as a result of concession structure modifications and regulatory reforms. Changes in visitor demand and changing compliance standards have also presented challenges for gaming operators and associated service providers.
Paradise Entertainment continued with shareholder dividends while keeping positive cash reserves in spite of these circumstances. The most recent dividend approval shows that the company is still committed to striking a balance between shareholder rewards and operational stability.
Board retains authority for future share actions
The AGM also approved mandates that give the board flexibility over future capital management activities.
Under the approved resolutions, directors may issue additional shares within prescribed limits and conduct share buybacks of up to 10 per cent of the company’s issued share capital.
Such mandates are commonly renewed annually by listed companies to support financing flexibility and capital management strategies.
The results of Paradise Entertainment’s most recent AGM verified shareholder consent for future share-related authority, board appointments, auditor reappointments, and dividend distributions for the 2025 fiscal year.
