The conglomerate's group-wide revenues, driven by higher sales across major businesses, rose 30 percent to ₱941.2 billion while consolidated operating income jumped 64 percent to ₱117.2 billion as a result of effective cost management initiatives and enhanced operational efficiencies.
Its food and liquor businesses both delivered strong recoveries while its Fuels business registered a profit turnaround.
“Despite the pandemic challenges in 2021, we were able to execute well on our strategies to continue and strengthen our recovery. As we work to overcome the continuing difficulties of the current business environment, we remain committed to investing our resources and capabilities to help further boost economic recovery, improve the lives of more Filipinos, and build back better from this crisis,” SMC President and Chief Operating Officer Ramon S. Ang said, adding: “We are confident we can accelerate growth while equally responding to the needs of the environment and the communities we serve.”
