Del Monte PH posts higher sales, cash flow
Del Monte Philippines Inc., maker of popular packaged fruit and beverage products, gained from strong demand across its international markets during its 2025 fiscal year ending in April.
In a stock exchange filing on Tuesday, parent firm Del Monte Pacific Ltd. (DMPL) said the Philippine unit’s sales had jumped by 14 percent to P44.2 billion—depicting a fate much different from that of its American unit that has recently gone bankrupt.
International sales climbed by 22 percent to P19.5 billion, owing to stronger export of fresh pineapple, particularly the premium S&W Deluxe Pineapple brand, and packaged products. China, South Korea and Japan drove growth.
“Our strong fiscal year 2025 results reflect the deep commitment and hard work of our team, and our relentless focus on consumer engagement, innovation and cost efficiency,” Del Monte Philippines president and chief operating officer Luis Alejandro said. “Our promise is to continue delivering value to our stakeholders.”
On the domestic side, beverages, packaged fruits and culinary essentials caused a 6-percent uptick in sales to P21.4 billion.
Del Monte Philippines has yet to make public its net income during the year.
Meanwhile, its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization swelled by 40 percent to P8.6 billion.
This comes as DMPL warned it may suffer a $748-million impairment loss. A total of $579 million represents DMPL’s equity investment in US arm Del Monte Foods Corp. II Inc., while receivables that it may have trouble collecting are estimated at $169 million.
