Clarification of News Report

This is to clarify the news article entitled “Megawide expects profit cut in ‘18” posted in Inquirer.net on February 12, 2018. The article reported in part that:

“Construction and engineering firm Megawide Construction Corp. expects to post a net profit of P1.85 billion this year, down by 14 percent from the estimated full year earnings last year, due to depreciation expenses from the opening of a new terminal in its Mactan-Cebu airport concession.

Megawide president Edgar Saavedra said in a text message on Friday that the company’s full-year 2018 guidance was disclosed in a recent investors briefing to institutional clients of Deutsche Bank in Hong Kong and Singapore.

“Consolidated revenues is projected to grow by 14.4 percent while consolidated Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is seen to jump by 26 percent, led by strong top line contributions from both our construction and airport operation business,” Saavedra said.

The construction business was expected to deliver a 12-percent year-on-year growth while airport operation revenues were also expected to post 32-percent year-on-year growth, he said.

“While net income in construction [is expected] to increase by 12 percent hitting the P1.3-billion mark, on the other hand, airport operation income will be soft compared to 2017 mainly because of depreciation impact, which is normal in an infrastructure business wherein you have huge capex (capital expenditure),” Saavedra said.

. . . .”

We confirm that Megawide (the “Corporation”) expects to post a net profit of P1.85 billion this year. We further confirm that the Corporation’s consolidated revenues is projected to grow by 14.4% while consolidated EBITDA is expected to increase by 26%. We also confirm that the Corporation expected a 12% year-on-year growth in construction, and 32% year-on-year growth in airport operation revenues.

We trust that the foregoing is sufficiently helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to call us should you have any further questions.

Thank you.
