International Entertainment (HKG:1009) forecasts its loss will widen to HK$90 million in the six months through Dec. 31, 2024, from HK$36.1 million in the year-ago period, according to a Friday filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The wider loss in fiscal H1 is attributable to higher staff costs with depreciation and amortization costs arising from the development of a casino in Manila, Philippines, as well as higher interest expenses related to the development, the filing said.
