AboitizPower core net softer at P33.1B in 2025

AboitizPower's Core Net Income A Strong Showing in 2025

AboitizPower Corp., a leader in the energy sector, has demonstrated its resilience and adaptability in the face of market complexities. The company's latest report reveals a core net income of P33.1 billion in 2025, a slight decrease from the previous year's P33.7 billion.

Financial Highlights A Mixed Bag

While the core net income may have dipped by two percent, AboitizPower's financial prowess remains unchanged. The company attributes the slight decrease to financing costs and depreciation related to unit GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co., which began recognizing these expenses in March 2024.

Operational Performance A Strong Showing

AboitizPower's operational performance remains robust, with Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Ebitda) rising nine percent to P79.6 billion, up from P73.3 billion the previous year. This growth is driven by fresh contributions from Chromite Gas Holdings, Inc., the commissioning of new solar plants, and higher contracted capacity in the second half of the year.

Generation and Retail Electricity Sales A 21% Increase

AboitizPower's generation and retail electricity sales saw a significant 21 percent increase to 43,718 gigawatt-hours (GWh), up from 36,004 GWh in 2024. This surge led to an 11 percent increase in Ebitda from this business to P73.7 billion.

Distribution Sales A 4% Growth

Distribution sales grew by a respectable four percent to 6,972 GWh in 2025, up from 6,631 GWh in 2024. Excluding one-offs, Ebitda contribution from this segment rose 2 percent year-on-year to P8.9 billion.

Financial Position A Healthy Liquidity Buffer

As of end-2025, AboitizPower reported total consolidated assets of P622.8 billion, up 20 percent from the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents stood at P58.9 billion, providing the company with a healthy liquidity buffer.

Capital Structure A Balanced Approach

Interest-bearing liabilities totaled P332.5 billion, while equity attributable to parent shareholders stood at P200.7 billion. The company's net debt-to-equity ratio rose to 1.2x from 0.8x, attributed to bridge financing for investments in Chromite Gas Holdings Inc. and the Caliraya-Botocan-Kalayaan Hydroelectric Power Plant Complex.

Fourth Quarter Performance A Strong Finish

AboitizPower's fourth quarter performance saw Ebitda reach P23.3 billion, up five percent from the preceding quarter and 35 percent higher year-on-year. This translated to a core net income of P10 billion for the period, higher by 54 percent compared to the same period in 2024.

Conclusion

As a leader in the energy sector, AboitizPower's ability to adapt to changing market conditions and drive growth is truly impressive. While the core net income may have dipped slightly, the company's operational performance and financials remain strong. As we look to the future, AboitizPower is well-positioned to continue its vaunted performance, driving growth and innovation in the energy sector.
