Clarification of News Report
We write in connection with the various news articles relating to DITO CME Holdings Corp. (“DITO” or the “Company”), specifically the attached news article entitled “Exec: Dito to cut ’26 capex as focus shifts to upgrades” posted on Business Mirror (businessmirror.com.ph) today, September 1, 2025, where it was stated in part that:
“Dito Telecommunity Corp. will scale down its capital spending in 2026 as it shifts from rapid network expansion to targeted upgrades, particularly the conversion of its 4G sites to 5G.
Eric Alberto, the CEO of Dito, said the company will likely allot a “lower” capital expenditures (capex) program next year, as it has already reached 86 percent coverage.
. . . .
Dito has allotted between P15 billion and P18 billion for capital expenditure this year, but Alberto said investments will taper off moving forward as the company consolidates its footprint and prioritizes quality enhancements.
‘All the considerable capex that we will be doing will be network upgrades and conversion of our 4G sites to 5G, so that we can reach and deliver higher quality digital services to customers within the certain price points they can afford,’ he explained, noting that the sharp decline in smartphone prices is driving consumer adoption of more advanced mobile services.
Dito, which initially set a target of 20 million subscribers, is facing stiff competition in reaching that milestone, with Alberto admitting growth has been challenging amid the tougher landscape[.]
. . . .“
In this regard, from information obtained from its subsidiary DITO Telecommunity Corp. (“DITO Tel”), DITO CME Holdings Corp. (“DITO CME”) wishes to inform the investing public that the information stated in the abovementioned article is confirmed.
