In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the firm said its core net income grew 27 percent to 8.7 billion in the first quarter of 2025. This excludes non-recurring gains from lot sales.

The holding company’s consolidated net income, on the other hand, increased by 29 percent to P9.14 billion, driven by the performance of its core operating companies led by Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank), which realized a net income of 12.3 billion in the first quarter of 2025, and Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP), which achieved a net income of P6.33 billion, up 57.1 percent.
