ROBINSONS Retail Holdings Inc. (RRHI) on Thursday said that core net earnings for 2025 increased by 6.0 percent to P6.7 billion from a year earlier, backed by sustained net sales growth and improved operating leverage.
However, net income for the year fell 44.3 percent to P5.7 billion due to a high base in 2024, which included a one-time gain from the merger of Bank of the Philippine Islands and Robinsons Bank.
The company said that net sales rose 5.7 percent to P210.4 billion, with same-store sales growth (SSSG) at 3.2 percent, as all business segments registered growth during the year.
Full-year operating income went up 7.4 percent to P10.5 billion.
For its fourth quarter performance, the company said core profit rose 9.9 percent year-on-year to P2.5 billion, reflecting the one-month contribution of motorcycle retailer Premiumbikes Corp. following its consolidation in December.
Fourth-quarter net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company grew 5.3 percent to P2.6 billion, supported by a 7.7-percent increase in net sales to P61.2 billion, which it said was driven by blended SSSG of 3.6 percent and additional revenues from new stores.
Operating income in the final quarter increased 12.9 percent to P3.8 billion, aided by continued cost management, sustained supplier support, better category mix and higher private label penetration.
“Our performance in 2025 reflects the continued strength of our core businesses and our ability to remain agile in a dynamic retail landscape,” said Stanley Co, president and CEO.
“In 2026, we remain focused on expanding our footprint, elevating customer experience across our formats, and investing in strategic initiatives that reinforce our differentiation and support sustainable growth."
As of Dec. 31, 2025, Robinsons Retail had 2,763 stores nationwide, consisting of 799 food stores, 1,173 drugstores, 51 department stores, 234 DIY stores and 506 specialty stores, including 216 Premiumbikes outlets as well as 2,154 franchised stores under The Generics Pharmacy brand.
In a separate disclosure, Robinsons Logistix and Industrials Inc. (RLX), the logistics and industrial arm of Robinsons Land Corp., said it had partnered with Robinsons Retail to develop a “big box” facility for Shopwise within the Sierra Valley Destination Estate in Cainta, Rizal.
The project marks RLX’s entry into the development and construction of large-format retail facilities, expanding beyond its Grade A logistics portfolio and supporting Robinsons Land’s broader estate strategy along Ortigas Avenue Extension.
The Shopwise big box, to be built on a site of more than 7,000 square meters, will have a gross leasable area of about 5,000 square meters.
Construction is targeted for completion in the first half of 2027, with store opening slated for the third quarter of the same year.
Robinsons Retail shares on Thursday rose P0.10, or 0.27 percent, to close at P37.60 each.
