Ayala Land Inc., the property development arm of the Ayala Group, said its Executive Committee has approved a share buyback program of up to P10.0 billion, signaling confidence in its long-term value while providing near-term support to its stock.
The program, approved on March 31, started immediately and executed through open market purchases via the Philippine Stock Exchange. No fixed timetable was disclosed, giving the company flexibility to act based on market conditions.
The move follows a year of solid financial performance. Ayala Land reported consolidated net income of P39.1 billion in 2025, supported by its expanding leasing and hospitality segment and gains from portfolio management initiatives. Revenues reached ₱190.2 billion, up 5 percent year-on-year, while core net income rose 8% to ₱30.6 billion, driven by strong fourth-quarter contributions from estate lots and recurring income businesses.
Real estate revenues stood at P174.5 billion, down slightly by 1 percent, as steady property development and leasing growth were offset by softer services income. The company maintained an aggressive investment pace, with capital expenditures totaling P92.9 billion, while keeping its net gearing ratio at a manageable 0.78:1.
Ayala Land’s diversified portfolio spans integrated estates, residential and commercial developments, malls, offices, logistics facilities, and hotels. As of end-2024, it had 53 estates across 57 growth centers and a land bank exceeding 10,000 hectares.
The buyback as a signal of balance sheet strength and a strategy to enhance shareholder returns, even as the company continues to invest heavily in long-term growth.
