MANILA, Philippines — Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), the property development arm of the Gokongwei Group, reported a resilient 9-percent growth in its core net income for the full year 2025, reaching ₱13.47 billion. The growth was spearheaded by a surge in residential project completions and steady performance across its diversified investment portfolio.
Excluding non-recurring gains from 2024—specifically those related to the reclassification of its GoTyme investment and insurance claims—the company’s core profitability remains on a strong upward trajectory. Consolidated revenues for the year jumped 13 percent to ₱48.52 billion, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 10 percent to ₱25.70 billion.
Segment Highlights:
- Residential Division: This was the primary growth engine, with revenues leaping 71 percent. RLC attributed this to an aggressive push in project deliveries and efficient inventory management.
- Investment Portfolio: Revenues from malls, offices, and hotels grew by 8 percent, providing a stable foundation of recurring income.
- Development Portfolio: This segment, which includes industrial and integrated developments, saw a 30-percent increase in activity.
RLC also prioritized financial stability in 2025, settling ₱13.8 billion in maturing debt. This proactive management reduced the company’s net debt-to-equity ratio to a conservative 16 percent, down from 27 percent in the previous year.
Furthermore, RLC successfully raised ₱13.96 billion through two block placements of its real estate investment trust, RL Commercial REIT (RCR), which were significantly oversubscribed by investors. By the end of 2025, RLC maintained total assets of ₱275 billion and a cash reserve of ₱11.06 billion.
Looking ahead to 2026, RLC is continuing its expansion into regional hubs, including the recently announced redevelopment of the General Santos City public market and the launch of new residential phases in its various “Destination Estates.”
