Cambodian table games operator Century Entertainment has issued a profit warning, advising that it expects to record a loss of HK$63 million ($8.04 million) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The figure shows that its FY23 loss widened, as the loss attributable to owners of the company was about HK$3.7 million ($470,000) in FY22.Â
On Thursday’s filing, Century Entertainment notes that the increase in loss was mainly attributable to “the written off of intangible assets” and “the impairment loss on receivables”.
