Grocery chain Puregold Price Club Inc. reported a nearly 9 percent increase in net income for 2025, reaching P11.3 billion from P10.4 billion the previous year.
The company said higher sales and improved margins drove the growth. Total revenues rose 10 percent to P242.45 billion, up from P219.17 billion in 2024.
Same-store sales also improved, with Puregold outlets growing 4.1 percent due to higher spending per customer, while S&R Warehouse clubs posted a 6.1 percent increase, helped by more shoppers.
Company president Ferdinand Vincent Co said the strong results reflect the resilience of its core business despite challenging market conditions. He added the company plans to expand further in provincial areas in 2026 to improve accessibility and support long-term growth.
In 2025, Puregold expanded its network by opening 28 new stores, three S&R branches, and nine S&R New York Style quick-service restaurants, while also acquiring 153 Puremart stores. This brought its total store count to 784 nationwide.
The company also announced dividends totaling P5.67 billion, up nearly 9 percent from last year. This includes a regular dividend of P1.18 per share to be paid in April and a special dividend of P0.79 per share scheduled for August 2026.
