GMA Network Inc., the Philippines’ leading broadcast company, posted a strong financial performance in the first half of 2025, with net income surging more than threefold year-on-year to P2.0 billion.
The company’s consolidated revenues reached P10.1 billion, a 29 percent increase from P7.8 billion in the same period last year.
This was largely fueled by a rise in advertising revenue, which climbed to P9.3 billion, boosted by election-related placements during the May midterm polls, as well as higher income from production services and other business lines.
Operating expenses rose by 6 percent to P7.6 billion, mainly due to increased production costs and general and administrative expenses. Despite this, GMA delivered P3.8 billion in EBITDA for the period ending June—up 91 percent from the previous year—reflecting the company’s strong revenue momentum.
GMA Network also continued to dominate nationwide TV ratings in the first half, according to Nielsen TV Audience Measurement. The flagship public affairs program Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho was the most-watched show in Urban Philippines for Q2 2025.
GMA Integrated News reaffirmed its position as the country’s most trusted news source, with its Eleksyon 2025 coverage drawing the highest combined viewership on-air and online.
On the digital front, GMA ranked No. 15 in Tubular Labs’ global media rankings for June 2025, remaining Southeast Asia’s top performer in the Entertainment and Media category.
GMA launched a new slate of programs in June, underscoring its commitment to quality storytelling and innovation.
