Subject of the Disclosure
Ayala registers P27 billion net profit in 2022. Strong contributions from BPI and Ayala Land anchor 18 percent core earnings growth.
Background/Description of the Disclosure
Ayala Corporation’s core net income grew by 18 percent year-on-year to P27.7 billion in 2022. This was mainly due to higher contributions from BPI and Ayala Land, both of which benefitted from the re-opening of the economy. Including significant one-off items such as gains from BPI’s sale of a property, Globe’s partial sale of its data center business and a portion of its towers, ACEN’s accelerated acquisition of UPC Australia, AC Energy’s write-off from the sale of SLTEC, and AC Venture’s impairment provisions on the investment in Yoma, Ayala’s reported net income was flat at P27.4 billion.
