The company also reported a 26 percent rise in net income attributable to equity holders, reaching P284 million, inclusive of non-recurring income adjustments.

The first-quarter performance highlights Vivant's resilience amid sectoral shifts and its continued strategic push into essential infrastructure.

"We saw strong momentum across our energy assets, particularly from our conventional power plants operating in the reserve market. Our recent agreements in both energy and water signal continued growth and impact in vital utilities," said Vivant CEO Arlo G. Sarmiento.

Vivant's energy business remained the primary earnings engine, contributing a combined P505 million in net income.
