Reports outlined that San Miguel Beer alone reported an 8% increase in consolidated sales to PHP147.30 billion (£2 billion), fueled by solid sales growth in both domestic and global markets of 8% and 7%.
Despite these wins, the business revealed that domestic sales volumes were still, 25% below pre-Covid levels.
Alongside this, the beer segment posted a net income of PHP25.30 billion (£358 million) for the year, up 16% versus 2022, reportedly basing its climb on better operating performance and higher interest income.
Speaking about the corporation’s latest achievements, San Miguel president and CEO Ramon Ang said: “Our robust performance again reflects our resilience and ability to deliver a strong bottom line despite macroeconomic uncertainties, and our commitment to continue investing in nation-building projects.”
