Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) achieved a 13 percent growth in net income to P10.01 billion in the first nine months of 2024, from P8.84 billion in the same period last year, driven by the company's investment properties.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said consolidated revenues for the first nine months inched up four percent to P31.42 billion, compared to P30.1 billion generated in the same period last year.

RLC’s investment portfolio, composed of malls, offices, hotels, and warehouse segments, achieved double-digit topline growth in the first nine months of 2024. Revenues jumped 14 percent year-on-year to P24.05 billion, contributing 77 percent of consolidated revenues.

Its development portfolio recorded P7.37 billion in realized revenues for the same period. This was driven by revenue recognition from the residential division, deferred land sales recognition, and earnings from equity shares in joint venture projects.

"Our earnings for the first nine months have demonstrated agility, with continued positive growth in our bottom line," said RLC Chairman, President, and CEO, Lance Gokongwei.

He added, “This performance is a testament to the strength and diversity of our business within RLC. We remain optimistic about our overall growth prospects, as our business segments are resilient and sustainable.”

Robinsons Malls achieved a 12 percent increase in revenues in the first nine months of the year, reaching P13.16 billion. This was driven by strong rental income, higher occupancy from new malls, rental escalations in fixed rent, and an increase in tenant sales propelled by heightened consumer spending.

Meanwhile, Robinsons Offices improved its topline result with a 7 percent rise in revenues to P5.92 billion in the first nine months of 2024. This was driven by rental growth, with an occupancy rate maintained at 86 percent during the period.

Robinsons Hotels and Resorts (RHR) continues its upward trajectory with revenues rising by 33 percent to P4.32 billion. This is due to robust growth across all brands along with a strong contribution from food and beverage, which accounted for 36 percent of total revenues.

Robinsons Logistics and Industrial Facilities (RLX) saw a 36 percent year-on-year increase in revenues, reaching P649 million.

Robinsons Destination Estate (RDE) recorded property development revenues of P867 million for the first nine months of the year from the deferred sale of parcels of land to joint venture entities.

The residential division, RLC Residences, recorded P3.13 billion in net sales for the first nine months of the year. It generated P6.46 billion in realized revenues, which includes P2.00 billion from RLC’s equity share in joint venture projects for the period.

RL Commercial REIT, Inc. (RCR), RLC’s real estate investment trust, posted a 41 percent jump in revenues to P5.74 billion for the first nine months of the year, driven by its significant asset infusion and steady occupancy rates.

For the third quarter of 2024 alone, RCR's revenues grew by 111 percent from the second quarter as a result of the completed transfer of 13 properties via a property-for-share swap with RLC.

Revenues and expenses of the 13 properties were accrued to RCR beginning April 1, 2024. This is the third batch of asset infusions done by RCR since its Initial Public Offering.

“The 13 multi-asset infusion valued at P33.92 billion has been the largest single infusion done by any Philippine REIT company so far.

“The injection of mall assets, complemented by two office assets, elevated RCR’s position to become a multi-asset REIT. In addition, the variable rent structure of our malls bodes potential upside to its current revenue,” said RCR President Jericho P. Go.

The RCR Board has approved its third 2024 regular cash dividend declaration, amounting to P0.1009 per outstanding common share. It has also approved the declaration of special cash dividends amounting to P0.0260 per outstanding common share.

For the first three quarters of 2024, RCR declared a total of P4.12 billion in cash dividends.
