On a quarter-on-quarter basis, however, DigiPlus said net income rose 43 percent and Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) climbed 52 percent, backed by improved cost management.
DigiPlus ended 2025 with P23.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and “minimal debt” of P745.8 million.

“As we look ahead, we remain optimistic about our growth trajectory and are confident in our ability to continue innovating responsibly while creating long-term value,” Tanco said.
