Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) has reported a 14 percent increase in consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to ₱95.4 billion in 2025, driven by steady performance across its businesses.
Power remained the group’s biggest contributor, accounting for 76 percent of total EBITDA. However, faster growth in other segments signaled a more balanced portfolio, with infrastructure earnings rising 89 percent and food and beverage increasing 20 percent.
AEV president and CEO Sabin M. Aboitiz said the company is continuing its shift into a more agile and diversified portfolio manager, citing developments in banking, food and beverage, real estate, and energy.
Under its power arm, AboitizPower strengthened its role in energy security through the acquisition of the 789-megawatt Caliraya–Botocan–Kalayaan Hydropower Complex, which supports grid stability in Luzon. It also expanded into liquefied natural gas through a 40 percent stake in Chromite Gas Holdings.
Infrastructure unit Aboitiz InfraCapital expanded airport operations to include Laguindingan and Bohol-Panglao, serving over 16 million passengers, while growing its digital infrastructure network nationwide.
Meanwhile, UnionBank of the Philippines continued to grow its retail banking segment, with its customer base reaching nearly 19 million in 2025.
The food and beverage segment posted ₱7.6 billion in income, up 28 percent year-on-year, led by strong performance from Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines, which maintained a 77 percent share of the domestic sparkling beverage market.
In real estate, Aboitiz Land generated ₱637 million in net income, while Aboitiz Economic Estates attracted ₱167 billion in foreign investments and supported more than 100,000 jobs.
AEV said it continues to pursue its goal of becoming the country’s first “techglomerate” by integrating data and technology across its businesses. The group also maintained an “A” rating from MSCI for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.
For 2026, AEV plans to invest ₱88.5 billion in capital expenditures across its core sectors, aiming to strengthen its financial position and sustain long-term growth.
