Robinsons Retail delivered a record performance in 2025 amid an
evolving retail environment. Net sales reached an all-time high
of over Php210 billion, a 5.7% increase compared to 2024, driven
by the strong performance of our core food and drugstore
businesses alongside improving contributions from our
discretionary banners. Core net earnings grew faster than our
net sales at 6.3%, supported by a favorable product mix,
sustained vendor support, and disciplined cost management across
the organization.
Our results reflect the commitment and resilience of our teams
across stores, distribution centers, and support functions,
whose discipline and customer focus continue to drive consistent
execution across the business.
Consumers continue to place greater value on convenience and
experience. In response, we accelerated the rollout of
stores across our food and drugstore segments. This allowed
us to scale efficiently while bringing our stores closer to
the communities we serve.
As customer preferences have evolved, so do we. We have
enhanced the shopping journey by modernizing our stores and
expanding our range of imported, exclusive, and private
label products. These efforts aim to transform everyday
shopping into a more engaging and differentiated retail
experience.
Our multi-format business has been a key source of our
competitive advantage, allowing Robinsons Retail to remain
agile to changing market dynamics, while capturing
opportunities across staples and discretionary categories.
As of end-2025, we operated 2,763 company-owned stores and
2,154 franchised TGP branches. This broad store network
includes 799 Food stores, 1,173 drugstores, 51 department
stores, 234 do-it-yourself (DIY) stores, and 506 Specialty
stores.
On December 1, 2025, Robinsons Retail completed the
acquisition of Premiumbikes Corporation, a motorcycle
retailer operating 216 branches nationwide. This acquisition
forms part of our strategy to diversify revenue streams and
expand into retail categories with strong structural growth
potential.
We see significant opportunities in this sector, supported
by continued expansion of the ride-hailing and food delivery
ecosystems in the country. Moreover, motorcycle ownership in
the Philippines remains relatively low compared to other
emerging Asian markets like Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam
– providing significant runway for growth in the years to
come.
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s revised
Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, issued in December
2025, signal a major step toward globally aligned
sustainability disclosure standards in the Philippines. As a
covered company, we have proactively positioned ourselves
ahead of this transition.

We started to introduce initial climate-related disclosures,
including hazard and vulnerability assessments in our 2023
Annual and Sustainability Report. We have also taken an
early lead in strengthening our disclosure credibility
through voluntary limited external assurance of our Scope 1
and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and select sustainability
metrics since the 2022 reporting cycle by an independent
auditor. Conducted in parallel with our Internal Audit team,
this initiative is now in its fourth consecutive year of
implementation and has reinforced the reliability of our
data while driving improvements in data governance, internal
controls, and sustainability reporting processes.
Building on this foundation, we will continue to expand the
scope and depth of our sustainability‑ and climate‑related
disclosures in support of informed decision‑making and
long‑term value creation.
Meanwhile, GoTyme’s customer base reached 5.3 million this year,
surpassing the 5-million mark just two years after its launch.
We hold a 19.0% stake in GoTyme, one of the six digital banks
licensed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. With over 400
GoTyme bank kiosks inside our stores, customers can quickly open
an account and perform cash-in/cash-out for free. Furthermore,
users can create or link their Go Rewards membership in GoTyme,
allowing them to earn 3x Go Rewards points if they use GoTyme as
their payment method in Robinsons Retail stores.
We also continued to capitalize on synergies with the Bank of
the Philippine Islands (BPI), where we hold a 6.5% stake. The
partnership with BPI has provided our suppliers with greater
access to financing, supporting their growth while strengthening
our supply chain. Additionally, we successfully launched the
Robinsons Cashback credit card in the second half of the year,
further enhancing the value proposition we provide to our retail
customers.

While the broader economic landscape may present uncertainties
over the near-term, Robinsons Retail will remain focused on
executing factors within our control – serving customers better,
expanding our store network, and operating the business with
discipline and agility.
In 2026, we intend to sustain the momentum in store expansion,
particularly in fast-growing regions outside Metro Manila. At
the same time, we are strengthening our supply chain
capabilities to ensure consistent product availability and
diversifying our supplier network to mitigate potential supply
chain disruptions. We will also continue to invest in our
digital infrastructure to unlock greater operational
efficiencies.
Through these initiatives on our people, store network, supply
chain capabilities, and technology platforms, we are building a
stronger Robinsons Retail—one that is positioned for sustainable
growth and equipped to adapt to shifting customer preferences.
With a clear strategy, a diversified portfolio, and a strong
execution culture, we are confident in our ability to continue
serving Filipino consumers while creating sustainable value for
all stakeholders.
