Background/Description of the Disclosure
Press release entitled "URC DELIVERS STRONG VOLUME AND VALUE GROWTH IN FIRST QUARTER OF 2025"
Other Relevant Information
Universal Robina Corporation (URC) posted sales of Php 45.3 billion for the three months ending March 31, 2025, up 7% vs. the same period last year, and started the fiscal year with strong volume-led growth across most of its divisions.
Total operating income for the period ended at Php 5.5 billion, growing by 1% vs. the same period last year and in line with expectations. The total Branded Consumer Foods business delivered high single-digit operating income growth, on the back of a sterling performance from URC International. This offset expected declines in Agro-Industrial Commodities profits against its higher base early last year.
Net income from continuing operations closed at Php 4.3 billion, slightly behind last year by 2%, due to higher forex gains in the same period in 2024. Core net income, on the other hand, ended at Php4.1 billion, up 4%, with lower finance costs early in the year.
Please refer to attached press release.
