Background/Description of the Disclosure

Press release entitled "URC REPORTS RECORD HIGH SALES IN Q3 2022"

Other Relevant Information

Universal Robina Corporation ("URC" or the "Company") sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reached Php 107.9 billion, up 26% versus the same period last year. Sales in the third quarter posted growth of 32% vs. the third quarter last year, on the back of the strong reopening momentum from economies around the region.

The Company’s operating income for the nine-month period grew by 10% to Php 10.8 billion, with the third quarter increasing by 35% vs. the same period last year. Absolute profits grew as planned on the back of higher sales volumes, programmed price increases, and executed cost savings initiatives. Net income ended at Php 9.7 billion, lower versus the same period last year due primarily to a gain on sale of assets booked last year. Core net income (excluding one-offs) was up 9%, in line with operating income growth.

URC’s financial position remains strong, with a healthy cash balance of Php 13.9 billion, net debt of Php 5.9 billion and a low gearing ratio of 0.19.

Please refer to attached press release.
