Maria Socorro Isabelle Aragon-Gobio
ExecutivesA pleasant day to the members of our Board, fellow shareholders and guests. Today, I am pleased to present our financial and operational performance as well as the strategic initiatives that position us to sustain value creation in the years ahead. Robinsons Land Corporation had a strong year in 2025, marked by a steady performance and continued progress on key fronts. During the year, we introduced Vision 5-25-50, which is our 5-year strategic road map to deliver PHP 25 billion in net income by our 50th year or the year 2030. This vision is grounded in how we have always run the business with prudence, discipline and a focus on creating enduring value. We are pursuing this through 5 strategic levers. The first is expanding and diversifying our investment portfolio to strengthen recurring income; second, unlocking capital through active asset monetization; third, premiumizing our brands across business units while remaining accessible; fourth, forging strategic partnerships to scale efficiently; and fifth, creating a better overall experience for our customers by introducing new offerings and business streams. Vision 5-25-50 is a sharper expression of who we are and how we intend to grow steadily, responsibly and with consistency through cycles. As of end 2025, RLC's extensive and diversified portfolio stands as a clear testament to a company designed for long-term institutional strength. Our developments span 57 malls, 34 office buildings, 16 workable centers, 27 hotels and resorts, 15 industrial facilities, 134 residential developments and 33 destination estates. Together, these well-balanced developments underscore RLC's ability to generate sustainable returns withstand market down cycles and continuously drive long-term land value creation and integrated community development. Now let us turn to our company's financial performance highlights. Our priority has always been to grow without compromising financial stability, and last year's numbers bear that out. RLC maintains a strong financial position with total assets at PHP 275 billion, which includes approximately PHP 10.97 billion in cash reserves. Shareholders' equity stood at PHP 184.6 billion, while our total outstanding debt was at PHP 39.53 billion and net debt at PHP 28.56 billion, resulting in a net debt-to-equity ratio of 16.27% Earnings per share reached PHP 2.80, a 3% increase from the same period last year. Our net book value per share as of end of the year was at PHP 36.53, indicating that the company's intrinsic value significantly exceeds its market valuation. The market today values capital agility as much as organizational strength. RLC continues to define this balance, merging the dynamic upside of a growth stock with the balance sheet integrity and margin consistency of a foundational market leader. In an economic climate marked by uncertainty, RLC continues to offer what matters most to Filipinos, stability, reliability and the confidence of solid ground. These are proof points of a company built to endure. As part of RLC's Vision 525-50, -- we continuously unlock value through active asset monetization while preserving long-term stability, ensuring financial resilience and sustainable growth for our shareholders. In April and September 2025, RLT successfully completed 2 block placements of shares in RL Commercial REIT, or RCR, raising a total of PHP 13.96 billion. Both transactions received strong investor demand with the first tranche 1.8x oversubscribed and the second tranche 3.7x oversubscribed, reflecting strong market confidence in the quality of RCR's portfolio and its long-term growth prospects. The placements attracted a diversified base of both domestic and international investors, further enhancing the liquidity and public ownership of RCR. These successful transactions reinforce RCR's position as one of the largest and most liquid REITs in the Philippine market, while also strengthening RLC's balance sheet and providing additional capital to support our future growth initiatives. We are proud to share that February of this year, RCR was included in the Philippines Stock Exchange Index or PSEI. In addition to this, RCR is also part of several major indices such as the PSE Dividend Yield Index, MSCI and FTSE Russell, thus enhancing its visibility among global institutional investors. RCR continues to strengthen its contribution to the group's consolidated financial performance. And in view of its growing relevance, we would like to share key highlights covering its financial results, portfolio composition and total gross leasable area. In 2025, RCR contributed PHP 11 billion in revenues, representing 23% of RLC's consolidated top line. EBITDA was at PHP 9.39 billion, up 31% year-on-year, and net income was at PHP 8.24 billion, a 30% growth from the previous year, a result that is directly grounded in strong operating performance and sustained rental income. Net of minority interest, RCR accounted for about 41% of RLC's net income attributable to equity holders of the parent. By the end of 2025, RCR's portfolio comprises 38 premium assets with 17 office properties and 21 malls strategically located across 25 key locations nationwide with a total gross leasable area of 1.15 billion square meters. Portfolio occupancy remains strong at 96%, while WALE or weighted average lease expiry stands at 4.02 years. Overall, RCR remains a key platform for RLC to monetize mature assets and recycle capital into higher growth opportunities, supporting balance sheet strength and long-term value creation. Following a strong 2024, the year 2025 marked a period of disciplined and reliable progress for RLC. Less driven by one-off gains, it reflects our company's business performance that is fundamentally healthier, anchored on recurring income, stronger operations and a more resilient financial position. For the full year 2025, RLC's consolidated revenues reached PHP 48.53 billion, a 13% increase year-on-year. This growth was driven by the strong performance of both our investment and development portfolios, although our business is strategically weighted toward our investment assets, which account for 73% of our total revenue. The strength of this recurring base is further evident in our profitability metrics. Consolidated EBITDA reached PHP 25.7 billion, a 10% increase with the investment portfolio contributing 82% of the total. EBIT stood at PHP 19.62 billion, up 11%, with 78% coming from our investment assets. Total net income grew 5% year-on-year, reaching PHP 16.17 billion with PHP 13.47 billion attributable to the parent company. These results demonstrate the resilience of our business model and our ability to maintain consistent high-level performance and sustained growth momentum despite shifting market conditions. Our investment portfolio remains to be the foundation of our stability, providing predictable recurring cash flows across our core segments. Malls and offices continue to comprise the bulk of this portfolio, contributing 41% and 17% to total revenues, respectively. Our hotels business delivered a strong performance, accounting for 13% of our total revenue. Our logistics business provided meaningful contributions to the top line as well. Meanwhile, our development portfolio sustained its recovery trajectory, contributing 27% of total revenues. The residential segment, in particular, saw a significant 71% increase in revenues, driven by the recognition of sales from prior years as more contracts reached equity thresholds alongside the recognition of ready for occupancy unit sales. This balanced growth across our diversified revenue streams allows us to navigate the market with confidence while carrying forward positive momentum into the next phase of our strategic road map. Moving on to our business units. Robinsons Malls remains the group's largest contributor to revenues and a cornerstone of RLT's recurring income base. For the full year, malls total revenues reached PHP 19.67 billion, up 10% year-on-year, supported by strong rental performance. Rental revenues grew 11% to PHP 13.94 billion, driven by an 8% same mall rental growth and a sustained foot traffic across our portfolio. Profitability also strengthened. EBITDA rose to PHP 11.82 billion, while EBIT reached PHP 8.17 billion, representing 11% and 14% growth, respectively. With a strong nationwide footprint of 57 malls anchoring key urban and regional markets, our mall portfolio underscores the company's stability, scale and reliability. Robinsons Mall spans approximately 3.3 million square meters of gross floor space and 1.7 million square meters of leasable area. This expansive platform allows us to foster deep tenant confidence and capture sustained consumer demand across the country. Operationally, the strength is evidenced by our 94% average occupancy rate, which remains ahead of the industry average of 92%. Last year, we completed 2 new malls that further expand our footprint in high-growth areas. The first is Robinsons Pagadian Zambanga, which opened in April and is currently 98% occupied. The second is the Plaza Bagunilang in Talaakkan, our newest community mall, which has already reached 100% occupancy. These new mall openings highlight RLC's ability to expand steadily into emerging and underserved markets with discipline. Beyond retail, our office portfolio remains a strong and stable pillar of recurring income. This business unit has a vast footprint of 897,000 square meters across 34 office buildings. Our operational resilience is evident in our occupancy metrics. Same office space occupancy stood at 90%, representing a 200 basis point improvement, supported by steady new tenant take-ups. Including buildings completed in the fourth quarter of last year, overall portfolio occupancy is at 85%. We continue to complement our traditional office offerings through Workable, our co-working office format. We now have 16 centers with an aggregate of 4,034 seats, providing the flexibility moderate tenants require. Despite headwinds in the broader market and the office sector, we have sustained healthy earnings by focusing on well-located, high-quality developments and leveraging resilient BPO demand. For the full year, revenues reached PHP 8.43 billion, up 6% year-on-year. We maintained strong efficiency with EBITDA at PHP 6.64 billion and EBIT at PHP 5.47 billion, both growing 4%. This performance underscores the stability of our office assets and our ability to outperform the market through superior asset quality and strategic locations. Last year, we completed 2 new office buildings, GBF Center 2 in Bridgetown and Robinsons Cybergate Iloilo II, which together added 93,000 square meters to our office holdings. During the same period, we further expanded our workable platform with the opening of 3 new centers, 2 in Robinson Summit Center in Makati and 1 in GBF Tower 2, Bridgetown, contributing 769 new seats. This continued expansion shows our strategy of enhancing portfolio stability through flexibility, allowing us to adapt to evolving tenant needs and sustaining occupancy and earnings across changing market conditions. Moving on to RLC's hospitality segment. It is distinguished by its multi-band platform, allowing us to serve a broad spectrum of travelers from the value-oriented guests to the ultra-luxury segment. This diversity gives our hotel portfolio the adaptability to perform across varying demand environments. For the full year, revenues grew 8% to PHP 6.5 billion, supported by the solid performance of all of our brands. Operationally, system-wide occupancy improved by 100 basis points from last year to 67%, driven by stronger travel demand and higher guest volumes during 2025. Profitability also improved with EBITDA rising 6% to PHP 1.9 billion and EBIT increasing 3% to PHP 1.01 billion, supported by better operating leverage. Importantly, around 71% of total revenues now come from our international brands and luxury hotels, reflecting our strategic shift toward higher-yielding hospitality assets. With the opening of NUSTAR last May, our portfolio now stands at 27 hotels with 4,309 room keys, further strengthening our presence in the hospitality sector. At the pinnacle of RLC's diverse hospitality offerings is NUSTAR Hotel Cebu, a 5-star property within the Neustar Resort and Casino complex on Cebu's Kawit Island. Designed for the ultra-luxury traveler, the hotel features oversized rooms with panoramic seaviews, private butler service, deep solving tubs and exclusive access to a private club lounge. It is also officially part of the Michelin Guess curated list of recommended hotels, having earned recognition for its excellence in design, service and exceptional guest service. Integrated seamlessly with NUSTAR's wider entertainment ecosystem, the hotels the hotel positions Cebu as a serious contender in the global luxury travel circuit. Finally, within our investment portfolio, we continue to expand our logistics and industrial platform. This supports the country's growing supply chain and e-commerce ecosystem. This structurally expanding demand positions our logistics business to deliver consistent long-term performance. In 2025, our logistics and industrial facilities delivered steady performance with revenues reaching PHP 890 million. Operational performance remains strong with EBITDA at PHP 809 million and EBIT at PHP 592 million, demonstrating steady operating momentum. As of year-end, we operate 15 industrial facilities strategically located across key logistics hubs. Our portfolio now spans 329,000 square meters of gross leasable space, maintaining a high 94% occupancy rate. This high utilization highlights sustained demand and supports the continued growth and stability of our logistics portfolio. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we completed 2 new hubs, RLX Tai 2 and RLX Colomba 2E, strengthening our presence in key logistics corridors to capture growing tenant demand. Moving on to our development portfolio. For the full year 2025, we generated PHP 5.18 billion in net sales from organic projects, alongside PHP 3.11 billion in sales from our joint venture residential projects. While net sales moderated during the year, reflecting broader market conditions, our residential segment continued to demonstrate resilience through disciplined execution. Realized residential revenues strengthened, increasing 36% year-on-year to PHP 11.98 billion, driven by prior year sales that reached equity threshold, the success of our programs for our ready for occupancy inventory and steady construction progress. Profitability also substantially improved. EBIT rose 35% to PHP 3.78 billion, demonstrating stronger operating leverage as revenue recognition accelerated. In 2025, our destination estates generated PHP 1.06 billion in property development revenues, primarily from deferred land sales to our joint ventures. This performance yielded an EBITDA of PHP 593 million and an EBIT of PHP 588 million. Beyond the numbers, we view this segment as a long-term value driver with a pipeline of planned developments strategically positioned to ignite growth across key locations. These estates also showcase our unique ability to integrate our various business units, malls, offices, hotels and residential developments into a seamless experience. By master planning these ecosystems, we create self-sustaining communities that maximize land value and provide unparalleled convenience for our customers. Under our new sports Entertainment and Recreation or SER business unit, we are expanding RLT's offerings to create richer end-to-end experiences for our customers while opening new growth platforms. Helios Pickleball Center marks our first flagship SER project in partnership with Costmap Athletic Ventures Corp., and we broke ground last July at the Bridgetown Destination Estate. This is designed to attract around 1,000 daily visitors and host international tournaments. Helios lays the foundation for SER as a new experience-driven business stream. In 2025, our company deployed PHP 18.88 billion in capital expenditures. We adopted a disciplined approach with a focus on deploying a bigger share of our capital towards our investment portfolio. This ensured that capital was strategically directed towards expanding and enhancing our malls, offices, hotels and industrial facilities, while still advancing high-priority residential projects and securing key land acquisitions. This prudent capital allocation has preserved our financial flexibility and strengthened our capacity to continue funding future expansions, ensuring that the company remains well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities as market conditions evolve. As we move into 2026, our direction remains clear. Through our disciplined phased development approach, we are better positioned to navigate today's uncertain operating environment, enabling us to advance toward our Vision 5/25/50 targets with greater prudence and lower risk while prioritizing sustainable progress that enhance the quality, resilience and reliability of our portfolio over rapid expansion. In line with our commitment to Vision 5/25-50, we are on track to complete key mall expansion and redevelopment projects in Baholoa Dumaguete and Manila, increasing total gross leasable area to 1,714,000 square meters through measured and purposeful investments that enhance customer experience while reinforcing the strength of our retail network. For Robinsons offices, we are on schedule to deliver Cybergate toumagete, a Grade A development aligned with the expansion requirements of an existing BPO tenant. Upon completion of this building, our office portfolio will reach 904,000 square meters, underscoring our disciplined demand-led approach to growth. Robinsons Logistics and Industrials or RLX, continues to grow with expected completions of Moncler in Pampanga, Calamba 3A in Laguna and Sera 3 in Kima Rasal, adding approximately 15,000 square meters, bringing our total gross leasable area to 379,000 square meters and sustaining momentum for RLX's long-term sustainable growth. In hospitality, Robinsons Hotels & Resorts will begin managing Summit Villas in Sarda, which is an 18 villa development of stand-alone units designed with private amenities and sustainable architecture. marking our steady expansion into high-potential destinations while remaining balanced with environmental stewardship. In closing, our expansion plans underscore a thoughtful and disciplined execution of Vision 5-25-50. By focusing on high-quality demand-driven opportunities across malls, offices, hotels and logistics, we continue to deepen recurring income streams while reinforcing portfolio stability and operational reliability. This measured approach allows us to have financial flexibility amid market uncertainty and positions RLC to capture larger value-accretive opportunities as conditions improve, allowing us to scale responsibly. With this, Robinsons Land is pleased to declare its highest dividend at PHP 1 per share, translating to a 36% payout ratio, well above our minimum policy of 20% of recurring income, underscoring our strong and sustainable earnings capacity. This also demonstrates RLC's ability to continuously and consistently return value to shareholders while maintaining a healthy and resilient balance sheet through disciplined capital management. More importantly, it reinforces RLC's position as a reliable and trusted organization that investors that Filipinos can confidently rely on over the long term. Grounded in years of disciplined decision-making, Robinsons Land stands today as a stable and enduring company, well equipped to navigate uncertainty and evolving market conditions. Our prudence over the years is now bearing fruit, reinforcing our resilience and positioning us to continue delivering better choices and creating shared sustainable value for all of our stakeholders. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Board for their guidance and to our dedicated employees whose hard work and commitment remain the backbone of our success. With your support, we will continue to move forward with discipline and purpose, delivering sustainable value for years to come as we leverage the collective strength and synergies of the Gokongwei Group.

Together, we look forward to building the future of Philippine real estate, Maranialato.
Lance Gokongwei
ExecutivesThank you, Mel. The Chair will now entertain questions on the report.
Operator
OperatorOur first question is, given the uncertainty in the global environment, RLT seems to have remained very stable. What do you think has been the main reason for the company's resilience?
Maria Socorro Isabelle Aragon-Gobio
ExecutivesWell, I ascribe the company's resilience to a number of things. First is, of course, our prudent decision-making, also our disciplined approach to execution, of course, our diversified portfolio and also are being very intentional early on. We made a strategic pivot to focus on our investment portfolio so that we widen our recurring income base. We also decided to proactively pursue asset monetization through RCR. And then we kept our ear to the ground, and we made a timely decision to tighten our inventory management for our residential business. And of course, we also pursued the premiumization of our key assets. This allowed us to also take advantage of better pricing and healthier margins. So all of these we put together in our Vision 5-25-50, which is the strategic road map we crafted precisely so that we are able to grow responsibly with strength and resilience.
Operator
OperatorOur last question is, RLC has maintained a strong balance sheet and continues to pay healthy dividends. Where is the company's cash flow coming from? And how do you plan to use it moving forward?
Maria Socorro Isabelle Aragon-Gobio
ExecutivesYes. So our cash generation is really coming from 2 sources, primarily from our investment portfolio, which provides us with a steady source of recurring income from our malls, office, hotels and logistics businesses. We also enhance our liquidity through our capital recycling initiatives through RCR. So these cash inflows give us substantial financial flexibility, and we use this to fund our capital expenditures, pay down debt and also to return value to our shareholders through healthy dividend payouts.
