The Ty-led bank's pre-provision operating profit rose by 8.8 percent year-on-year to P18.8 billion, reflecting solid performance across core and non-core businesses despite persistent global economic headwinds.

"Our first quarter performance keeps us on track in achieving our medium-term growth strategies even as global uncertainties continue to persist," Metrobank president Fabian Dee said.

"Our strong capitalization and healthy portfolio give us and our clients the assurance on our ability to navigate the changing economic landscape," he said.
