Del Rosario-led PHINMA Corporation reported an 84 percent plunge in attributable net income to P122.73 million for the first nine months of 2024 from the P791.53 million earned in the same period last year due to huge non-operating expenses and losses of its property business.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the firm noted that, “while this is down from the same period last year due to lower selling prices and higher operating costs, interest expense and tax, it is a turnaround from the (attributable net loss) in the first half of P22.1 million.”
Consolidated revenues rose 10 percent to P16.98 billion for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2024 from P15.46 billion a year ago while consolidated net income fell by 54 percent to P609.13 million from P1.34 billion.

He noted that “we continue to challenge our business units to directly cater to the underserved in their respective industries, as we have been doing in education.”
