Board Approval on April 5, 2018

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Item No. 9

The Board approved today the company’s Audited Parent and Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended 2017.


Consolidated Financial Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2017, FPH posted an attributable Recurring Net Income (RNI) of P6.8 billion, higher by P900 million or 15% versus last year’s P5.9 billion. The growth was driven by the stronger recurring earnings from the Energy, Real Estate and Manufacturing sectors.

Despite higher RNI, Net Income attributable to FPH decreased by P4.0 billion, or 41%, to P5.9 billion in 2017 from last year’s P9.9 billion on account of FPH’s share in one-off losses related to First Gen group's debt prepayments in contrast with the non-recurring gains recognized last year mainly arising from San Gabriel's liquidated damages and First Philec's arbitration settlement.

FPH Group's total revenues increased by P13.0 billion, or 14%, from P91.9 billion in 2016 to P104.9 billion this year which was primarily driven by the higher revenues from sale of electricity following the full year contributions of the Avion and San Gabriel gas plants, and from the real estate business on account of higher completion and sales booking of Rockwell's projects.
