First Pacific Highlights PLDT’s 2025 Audited Results as Profit Eases Amid StableRevenue

First Pacific Co ( (HK:0142) ) has provided an announcement.

First Pacific has disclosed that its major operating associate PLDT Inc., the Philippine telecommunications group in which it holds a 25.57% attributable economic interest, has released its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The results, prepared under Philippine financial reporting standards and presented in pesos, have been filed with the Philippine and New York exchanges and published as an overseas regulatory announcement in Hong Kong, giving First Pacific shareholders and other stakeholders full visibility on PLDT’s 2025 performance and its contribution to the group.

PLDT reported revenues from contracts with customers of ₱218.39 billion in 2025, up modestly from ₱216.83 billion in 2024, with service revenues rising while non-service revenues declined. Net income from continuing operations slipped to ₱30.22 billion from ₱32.56 billion, reflecting higher net other expenses and interconnection costs, and earnings per share attributable to common equity holders fell to ₱138.63 from ₱149.26, signalling margin pressure even as topline growth remained steady.

General operating costs declined to ₱75.79 billion in 2025 from ₱78.07 billion a year earlier, but this was offset by increases in depreciation and amortisation to ₱59.49 billion and interconnection costs to ₱16.01 billion, underscoring ongoing network investments and cost pressures in the competitive telecoms market. While PLDT’s profitability eased compared with 2024, the sustained earnings base and continued public disclosure across multiple exchanges remain important for investors tracking First Pacific’s telecoms exposure and PLDT’s financial health within the Philippine and global capital markets.
