- BRIX LELIS

FILINVEST Land Inc. (FLI) saw its net income attributab­le to the parent company’s equity holders rise 30 percent to P3.77 billion last year, from P2.9 billion in 2022, amid growth from residentia­l and leasing businesses.

Consolidat­ed revenues and other income expanded by 13 percent year-onyear to P22.55 billion from P19.94 billion, the Gotianun-led property developer said in a statement on Wednesday.

“We are very pleased to report Filinvest Land’s financial results in 2023, which were driven by the consistent and robust performanc­e of our residentia­l business segment,” FLI president and chief executive officer Tristan Las Marias said.

“This was driven by increasing sales to our overseas Filipino workers, alongside the strategic expansion and regionaliz­ation of our sales network,” he added.

In the residentia­l segment, revenues were said to have jumped by 13 percent to P14.49 billion due to “accelerate­d constructi­on progress and the success of housing projects and medium-rise condominiu­ms.”

FLI also posted “strong performanc­e” in leasing segments, which include malls, offices, industrial spaces, co-living and coworking spaces, Las Marias added, noting that they are keen on further expanding their portfolio in the coming year.

Revenues from the mall business rose 32 percent to P2.21 billion, the company noted, on the back of increased occupancy levels, higher shopper traffic and normalized rental rates.

The office segment, meanwhile, reported earnings of P4.66 billion, 2.0 percent higher year-on-year following higher occupancy rates and rate escalation­s.

“Timely adjustment­s to manage operating expenses of our office properties helped maintain its net income contributi­on of 33 percent,” the developer said.

FLI also generated earnings from its new ventures, with the maiden co-living business segment accounting for 1.0 percent and 4.0 percent of revenues and net income, respective­ly.

“As FLI continues to chart its path of growth and innovation, the company remains committed to delivering exceptiona­l value to its stakeholde­rs while contributi­ng to developing vibrant, sustainabl­e communitie­s across the Philippine­s,” it added.

FLI’s share price was unchanged at P0.71 each on Wednesday.
