MONDE Nissin Corp. on Thursday reported a strong finish to 2025, with full-year reported net income rising sharply to P8.6 billion from P450 million a year earlier, driven by higher revenues and improved profitability, particularly in the fourth quarter.
“Core net income attributable to shareholders declined by 0.8 percent to P9.7 billion; however, it rose by 8.1 percent to P2.5 billion in the fourth quarter, driven by higher gross profit,” the company told the stock exchange.
Consolidated revenue increased four percent to P86.5 billion, reflecting steady growth in the company’s Asia-Pacific Branded Food and Beverage (APAC BFB) segment despite margin pressures.
For the fourth quarter alone, reported net income returned to positive territory at P1.9 billion, aided by a modest reversal of impairment in its meat alternative business, while quarterly revenues rose 5.7 percent to P23.2 billion.
Monde Nissin said its APAC BFB business posted full-year net sales of P72.8 billion, up 4.7 percent from a year earlier and driven by volume growth in biscuits and other categories. But gross profit dipped 1.8 percent to P25.3 billion, which it blamed on higher edible oil costs.
Its meat alternative segment reported a 20-percent growth in gross profit despite a slight 2.9-percent decline in revenues, with the profit growth attributed in part to lower inventory, lower input costs and targeted price increases.
“Our APAC BFB business delivered steady topline growth, while our meat alternative segment showed stabilization and margin improvement,” said Henry Soesanto, chief executive officer.
“These results, supported by strong cash flow and a solid balance sheet, position us to return meaningful capital to investors while continuing to invest in growth,” he added.
Reflecting its healthy finances, the board approved a cash dividend of P0.24 per share, payable to shareholders on May 21, 2026, with a record date of April 24.
The company ended 2025 with P15.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and a net debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13.
Monde Nissin said it expected mid to high-single-digit revenue growth in its domestic business for the first quarter of the year, supported by ongoing pricing and cost management measures and an expected recovery in its meat alternative portfolio.
Monde Nissin shares climbed P0.19, or 3.02 percent, to close at P6.49 each on Thursday.
