Business Segment Highlights

Grocery Retailing 
 
During the year, the grocery retail business segment registered a consolidated revenue contribution of PHP140.92 billion -- an increase of 13.2% or PHP16.42 billion compared to the segment’s revenue contribution of PHP124.49 billion in 2017.
 
The growth was brought about by its continued aggressive organic stores expansion program and the management’s combined strategies to enhance operating efficiencies and deliver quality customer service experience at all its store outlets.
 
Puregold surpassed its target of opening 25 stores for 2018 by opening a total of 30 new Puregold stores for the year, and established its presence in Panay Island through the newly-acquired chain of five supermarkets in Roxas City.
 
On the other hand, S&R opened two new warehouse clubs in Parañaque and Cabanatuan and seven new S&R quick service restaurants around Metro Manila during the year.
 
Commercial Real Estate
 
The Group’s Real Estate Segment posted PHP2.43 billion in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 or a 10.56% increase from PHP2.19 billion in 2017. This was mainly attributable to the additional leasable space from its three new mall assets opened during the first quarter of 2018 and one in December 2017, consistent higher occupancy rates and higher income from its oil storage tanks business unit operating within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. Income from operations before depreciation grew by 9.5% to PHP1.45 billion while net income grew by 10.42% to PHP1.07 billion.
 
The three new community mall assets added to the portfolio in the first quarter of 2018 are strategically located in Cavite, Subic and Muntinlupa. As of end 2018, our real estate segment had a total portfolio of 53 properties with a combined gross leasable and land area of 516,373 square meters, consisting of 252,065.70 square meter land area and 264,306.51 square meter floor area.
 
Wine and Liquor Distribution
 
The wine and liquor distribution segment continued to deliver a robust sales performance with its overall volume sold growing by 32% consistently driven by its brandy category reinforced by very strong sales performance of its other spirits and specialty beverage categories.
 
Consequently, the segment posted a revenue growth of 31.3% to PHP8.7 billion during the year 2018 while its net income grew by 17.6% to PHP738 million.
 
The group will continue to pursue its aggressive sales and marketing campaigns to promote its product portfolio leveraging on its growing network of national key retail accounts, distributors and dealers as well as in premise customers.
 
Specialty Retail
 
The LPG business unit sustained its solid performance in 2018 after adding PHP17.09 billion to the company’s consolidated revenue. This is an increase of PHP3.96 billion, or 30% higher than the 2017 revenue contribution of PHP13.13 billion.
 
This was mainly driven by increase in sales volume and the recovery in global LPG prices during the period.
 
On the other hand, our office supplies and technology retail business unit contributed PHP2.09 billion to the company’s consolidated revenues in 2018. This was a 15% increase from the PHP1.82 billion recorded in 2017.
 
The strong growth was mainly brought about by the high same-store sales growth (SSSG) of 9.09% as well as its continuing stores network expansion program, enhanced product offerings, and aggressive sales and marketing campaign. Office Warehouse currently has 88 stores in operation across the country, nearly doubling its operating stores since its acquisition in 2014.
