Metrobank, Toyota boost GT Capital’s 2025 profit

GT Capital Holdings Inc. posted a core net income of P30.47 billion in 2025, up 8 percent from a year earlier on steady performance across key businesses.

The conglomerate disclosed on Thursday that its consolidated net income rose 17 percent to P33.68 billion. This was on the back of resilient demand and operational discipline among its core units.

Metropolitan Bank Trust & Co. (Metrobank) and Toyota Motor Philippines drove earnings. They chalked up record profits of P49.7 billion and P19 billion, respectively.

Metrobank benefited from loan expansion, stable margins and strong trading income, while keeping asset quality and cost growth under control.

Toyota, meanwhile, sustained its market leadership after selling 229,447 vehicles. This lifted its market share to 46.7 percent.

GT Capital’s associate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. also posted a record core net income of P27.1 billion. This was attributed to gains across the businesses of power, water and toll roads.

Amid the strong results, the company board approved total cash dividends of P14.16 per share, split between regular and special payouts.

The first tranche of P7.08 per share will be paid on April 22, 2026, to shareholders on record as of April 8.

“With a strong balance sheet and a diversified portfolio, we are confident in our ability not only to withstand near-term headwinds but also to recover decisively and deliver long-term value as conditions stabilize,” he added.
