Reduced liabilities from its mothballed petrochemical unit, combined with stronger performances in travel and real estate, helped propel core earnings at JG Summit Holdings Inc. (JG Summit), the country’s second-largest conglomerate by market value.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), JG Summit reported that its recurring core earnings, which exclude one-off items, reached P15.4 billion from January to September, a 24-percent rise from P12.42 billion a year ago.
