House of Investments Inc. (HI) grew its net income by 27 percent to P3.6 billion in 2025, as stronger earnings from financial services and education lifted the Yuchengco Group holding company’s bottom line despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Consolidated revenues rose 12 percent to P43.7 billion, with the two businesses contributing 89 percent of total net income and providing the main engine of HI’s earnings growth.
Financial services accounted for 58 percent of net income and 71 percent of revenues, led by life insurer Sun Life Grepa Financial Inc. The group plans to expand fee-based and protection-related income while reaching more customers.
Education subsidiary iPeople Inc. contributed another 31 percent of net income and 14 percent of revenues, supported by more than 83,600 students at the start of academic year 2025.
The results highlight the earnings value of HI’s diversified portfolio, with its established businesses providing a recurring-income base while the group invests in longer-term growth areas.
“Our portfolio is intentionally built to balance out different business cycles and shield our growth from macroeconomic headwinds,” HI President and CEO Lorenzo V. Tan said during the company’s 2026 annual stockholders’ meeting.
HI is also positioning for faster growth in renewable energy. PetroEnergy Resources Corp. plans to increase its renewable energy capacity from about 233 megawatts at end-2025 to one gigawatt by 2030.
The group is likewise expanding its property and infrastructure portfolio through The Yuchengco Centre in Makati and TARI Estate in Tarlac.
The combination of stronger core earnings and investments in new growth businesses is central to HI’s strategy of maintaining earnings stability while expanding its long-term income base.
“With a diversified portfolio anchored on recurring income, we are uniquely positioned for long-term sustainable growth,” Tan said.
