GT Capital Holdings Inc. on Thursday reported a 17-percent increase in net income to P33.68 billion for 2025, which it attributed to the resilient performance of its core operating companies, Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. (Metrobank) and Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP).

Toyota Motor’s net income expanded by 18.9 percent as vehicle sales reached 229,447 units for a leading market share of 46.7 percent, helping maintain the company's number one spot in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and overall sales.
