PASAY CITY, Philippines<\/span>, Aug. 3, 2022<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — SM Investments Corporation reported its consolidated net income increased 27% to PHP25.5 billion<\/span> in the January to June period from PHP20.1 billion<\/span> in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Consolidated revenues rose 23% to PHP238.5 billion<\/span> in the first half from PHP193.5 billion<\/span> in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

“Our financial performance was led by strong consumer spending across all categories and formats of our retail business and the return of crowds in malls. Despite rising inflation, we are encouraged to see shoppers’ robust spending in the first half. This is a bright spot in the Philippines<\/span> and in the region amid global headwinds,” said Frederic C. DyBuncio, SM Investments Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n

Consumers are back to safe shopping in SM stores which drove up retail growth. Further supporting this growth are SM Retail’s efficient operations and strategic expansion.<\/p>\n

SM Retail reported revenues of\u202fPHP163.7 billion, higher by 18% from PHP138.2 billion<\/span> in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

This revenue growth is driven by higher foot traffic in retail stores and malls as well as renewed vigor in shopping for fashion-related items in the department stores. The larger food retail formats also benefitted from higher foot traffic in malls.<\/p>\n

Retail net income\u202fwas higher by 91% to PHP7.0 billion<\/span> from PHP3.6 billion<\/span> in the previous period, benefitting from cost reductions and efficiencies across all formats.<\/p>\n

“This consumer-driven momentum brings more optimism moving forward as we keep innovating on our retail offerings to ensure an excellent shopping experience for the Filipino consumer,” Mr. DyBuncio said.<\/p>\n
