Metro Retail Stores Group (MRSGI) has surpassed the PhP40-billion (approximately US$662.8 million) revenue milestone in FY25, delivering stronger profitability on the back of steady sales growth, margin expansion, and continued network rollout.
The company reported net income of PhP682.64 million (US$12.2 million), up 12 per cent year-on-year, supported by improved operating efficiency and contributions from new store openings.
Total sales reached PhP41.56 billion (around US$742 million), a 4.9 per cent increase from 2024, while same-store sales growth came in at 0.6 per cent, reflecting stable underlying demand amid a challenging operating environment.
“Last year was a year of disciplined execution and measurable impact for MRSGI,” said Joselito G Orense, president and COO.
“By strategically expanding our network into high-growth regions and introducing innovative store formats, we strengthened our market presence, delivered higher sales and margins, and improved cash earnings. These results reflect the dedication of our teams nationwide and our commitment to serving customers with modern retail experiences while driving sustainable, long-term growth.”
MRSGI expanded its footprint with 10 new store openings last year across Luzon and the Visayas, including additional Metro Value Mart branches and a new Metro Supermarket and Department Store in Bais, Negros Oriental.
The company also continued scaling its Metro Corner format, with its Mandani Bay store marking a move into the premium urban retail segment.
Sustainability initiatives were also advanced, including the rollout of solar PV systems in up to 19 stores to help manage energy costs.
As of the end of FY25, MRSGI operates 81 stores nationwide across its core retail formats.
