Clarification of News Report

This refers to the request of the PSE received by Figaro Coffee Group, Inc. (“FCG” or the “Company”) today, May 21, 2024, to clarify the news article entitled, “Figaro sets P1-B capex, targets double-digit growth” posted in MB.com.ph, which reported in part that:

“The Figaro Coffee Group (FCG), a leader in the Philippine food and beverage sector, is allotting about P1 billion for the opening of 70 to 80 new stores this year as it aims to expand its footprint in Visayas and Mindanao.

In an interview, FCG Chairman Justin Liu said the expansion will be through company-owned as well as franchised stores with each outlet costing about P15 million to put up.

He added that the firm’s aggressive store expansion program will propel earnings to grow in double-digits this year.

The bulk of the new stores will be for Angel’s Pizza which is enjoying strong patronage from its low to middle-income market. About half of the new stores will be in Luzon while the balance will be in Visayas and Mindanao.
. . . .

He added that the capex will be funded mostly by internally generated funds because cash flow from the earnings of its stores remain strong. It will also be using some bank loans as well as the fresh capital from the investment of Monde Nissin into the company.

He said that, for Angel’s Pizza alone, they are targeting to have about 400 stores in three to five years as it aims to be the country’s top pizza chain by then.
. . . . “

The Company confirms the information in the above-quoted news article, including FCG’s planned estimated capital expenditure for 2024 and the target store network expansion. As reported by the Company in its previous disclosures to the PSE, including the IPO Prospectus, financial reports, various press releases, and comprehensive disclosures, among others, FCG remains committed to expand our presence, pursue sustainable growth, and continue product innovation to deliver enhanced value to our customers and shareholders.

We trust that the Company has clarified the above news report.
