Subject of the Disclosure
Press release entitled "URC SUSTAINS STRONG DOUBLE-DIGIT PROFIT GROWTH OF ITS BRANDED BUSINESS"
Background/Description of the Disclosure
Universal Robina Corporation (URC) reported sales of Php118.9 billion for the nine months ending September 30, 2024, up 1% vs. the same period last year, with volume-led growth tempered by product mix and forex. Total operating income was at Php12.3 billion, behind by 3% vs. the same period last year. The company reported lower profits in its Sugar and Renewables business as sugar prices continued easing in 2024 against last year’s record highs. Net of its commodities businesses, URC sustained its double-digit growth trajectory, recording an increase in operating income of 22% vs. last year, as easing commodity costs and optimization initiatives supported the company’s margin expansion. Net income from continuing operations was reported at Php9.2 billion, down 11% against last year, as the company recorded lower forex gains in the period. Core net income for the period was down 5%, driven by higher tax provisions and finance costs.
