Emperador Inc. ( (SG:EMI) ) has provided an announcement.

Emperador Inc. reported that 2025 was a weaker year overall, as consolidated revenue fell 7.5% to Php 57.0 billion and net profit dropped nearly 39% to Php 3.9 billion, dragged by softer demand for whisky, lower gross margins and higher interest and tax expenses. The company nonetheless saw a turnaround in its brandy business, where net profit rose 9% on better product mix and stabilized costs, even as segment revenue slipped slightly due to logistics delays.

The whisky segment remained under pressure, with revenue down 15.8% and net profit more than halved as rare and aged whiskies failed to recover, forcing a shift toward more affordable to premium lines that lifted volumes but diluted value. Management is treating 2025 as a re‑base year and has earmarked Php 2.4 billion in 2026 capital expenditure, over half of it for whisky maturation and facility upgrades, signaling a push to strengthen long‑term capacity and position the portfolio for an expected improvement from 2026 despite geopolitical headwinds.
