MacroAsia Corporation (PSE: MAC) reported a 9% period-to-period increase in consolidated net income to P384.3 million for the third quarter (July – September) of 2025, fueled by stronger aviation services, continued recovery in airline catering, institutional catering growth, and stable contributions from its water operations.
Sustained Revenue Growth Across Core Segments Consolidated revenues for the quarter rose 17% to P2.59 billion from P2.22 billion in the same period last year, reflecting steady volume gains across MacroAsia’s core business segments: • Ground Handling and Aviation Services – Revenues grew 16% to P1.04 billion, driven by higher flight handling volumes and operational recovery at major airports nationwide. • In-flight and Other Catering – Revenues increased 8% to P1.20 billion, supported by growing passenger traffic and the expansion of institutional catering contracts. • Water Distribution – Revenues edged up 1% to P174.9 million, as new service connections complemented stable consumption in existing concession areas. • Administrative Fees – Jumped to P159.8 million from P13.5 million last year, reflecting the recognition of lease and service arrangements during the quarter.
From January to September this year, aviation-related businesses continue to account for roughly 78% of total revenues, reaffirming MacroAsia’s strategic position as a key service provider to the Philippine aviation industry.
Higher Volumes Lift Costs but Margins Remain Healthy Total direct costs and expenses rose 22% to P2.11 billion, mainly due to increased business activity and external cost factors such as higher material costs, mandated labor rate adjustments, and updated lease and fee structures at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). Despite these pressures, MacroAsia maintained a solid gross margin of 19%, even as operating expenses increased to P408.4 million.
Financial Position Remains Strong As of September 30, 2025, total assets expanded to 21% to P16.18 billion, while equity rose 14% to P8.59 billion. The current ratio improved to 1.60:1, and the debt-to-equity ratio stood at a moderate 27%, reflecting prudent capital management and healthy leverage to support ongoing expansion in food, water, and aviation-related operations.
