Aboitiz Foods reports solid 2025 results, maintains focus on long-term value

Philippines-based integrated food and agribusiness group posts steady earnings growth while stepping up investment in specialty nutrition and regional expansion.

Aboitiz Foods reported net income after tax of US$90.6 million (₱5.2 billion) for 2025, driven by higher volumes and improved margins across its flour, farms, livestock and trading divisions, as the company pressed ahead with capacity expansion and acquisitions to strengthen its regional position.

President and chief executive officer Tristan Aboitiz said the priority for the year ahead remains building on operational strength. "The priority will continue to be to strengthen our operations and be the lowest-cost producer of high-quality products for our customers across the region," he said.

To support this, Aboitiz Foods has allocated ₱5.2 billion in capital expenditure for 2026, directed at expanding feedmill capacity in the Philippines, advancing automation, and strengthening research and development capabilities.

A key move during the period was the acquisition of Singapore-based specialty nutrition manufacturer Diasham Resources Pte. Ltd., which is expected to broaden the company's specialty nutrition portfolio and deepen its distribution reach across the region. In parallel, the company is investing in a dedicated aquaculture research and development facility in Singapore, aimed at bringing science closer to commercial application.

On the cost front, Aboitiz acknowledged rising freight and energy costs linked to ongoing Middle East tensions as a near-term pressure. "We manage these impacts through improving our operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management," he said, adding that selective pricing adjustments had been implemented where necessary.

Looking further ahead, Aboitiz said the sector's long-term fundamentals remain intact. "Our industry operates in cycles, and it is important to take a long-term view. The fundamentals for the food and agriculture sector remain strong, supported by continued population growth and rising demand for protein and staple foods across Asia," he said.

Aboitiz Foods operates across eight countries including the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, through its subsidiaries Pilmico and Gold Coin.
