Century Pacific Food, Inc. (CNPF) saw profit and revenue surge 15 percent in the third quarter of 2025, powered by robust branded sales and a strong rebound in exports. The results pushed year-to-date growth to 8 percent in sales and 10 percent in profit, showing the food giant’s resilience amid easing inflation and moderating costs.
Consolidated revenues climbed to P22.1 billion for the quarter, led by an 18 percent jump in its Branded segment, which makes up the bulk of sales. That lifted year-to-date branded growth to 12 percent. Meanwhile, exports turned the corner, growing 4 percent year on year and 31 percent quarter on quarter, narrowing earlier declines to 5 percent.
“Our performance reflects the strength of our all-weather portfolio,” said Chief Financial Officer Chad Manapat. “With inflation stabilizing and rice prices easing, consumers are spending again. That’s half the battle—the other half is ensuring our brands continue to offer affordable, convenient, and healthier choices.”
For the first nine months, consolidated sales hit P61.8 billion. Gross margins eased to 25.5 percent as input costs normalized, but tighter spending offset the impact. Net income rose 10 percent to P5.8 billion, with a 9.4 percent profit margin—steady gains in a competitive food market.
Analysts said the results show CNPF’s ability to balance growth with efficiency while staying alert to shifting consumer trends.
The company capped the quarter with two strategic moves: acquiring U.S.-based plant-based heritage brand Loma Linda and expanding coconut processing capacity in South Cotabato—creating 800 new jobs. “These investments strengthen our health-focused portfolio and position us for long-term, sustainable growth,” Manapat added.
