Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) reported that its core net income increased 15 percent in 2025, reaching P27.1 billion from P23.6 billion in 2024.
The company said growth was driven by strong performance in its key businesses, including power, water, and healthcare. Higher power generation at Manila Electric Co., increased water tariffs at Maynilad Water Services Inc., and rising patient numbers in the Metro Pacific Hospitals network helped boost earnings.
MPIC said its reported net income rose by 5 percent, slower than core income growth, because the previous year included a one-time gain from a subsidiary, making comparisons lower for 2025.
MPIC chairman, president, and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan said the results show continued demand for essential infrastructure services such as power, water, transport, and healthcare.
He also noted that the global environment remains uncertain due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and other external pressures affecting energy markets and investors. Despite this, the company plans to remain cautious by managing its finances carefully, improving efficiency, and continuing to invest in needed infrastructure.
Among MPIC’s businesses, power remained the biggest contributor, generating P22.1 billion or 69 percent of net operating income. Water and toll road operations contributed P7.2 billion and P6.1 billion, respectively, together accounting for 42 percent of operating income.
