At A Glance
- According to Yuchengco-led PetroEnergy Resources Corp. (PERC), renewable energy (RE) expansion works, as well as lower profit from its oil production in Gabon, Africa, affected its first-quarter net income performance.
Yuchengco-led PetroEnergy Resources Corp. (PERC) reported a decrease in its net income for the first three months of 2025 due to expenses for its renewable energy (RE) developments.
In a statement, PERC reported a consolidated net income of ₱281 million for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a 13-percent decline from ₱322 million in the same period of 2024.
According to PetroEnergy, RE expansion works, as well as lower profit from its oil production in Gabon, Africa, affected the three-month net income performance.
Despite this, its RE expansion led to the commissioning of three new units, further adding to the company’s portfolio.
The new units include the first phase of the 13.2-megawatt (MW) Nabas-2 wind project, 27-megawatt direct current (MWdc) Dagohoy solar project in Bohol, and 19.6-MWdc San Jose solar project in Nueva Ecija.
Consolidated revenues in the first quarter rose to ₱885 million, while total assets grew by eight percent year-on-year to ₱22 billion.
“Oil production from the Etame concession in offshore Gabon dropped to 435,000 barrels in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 464,000 barrels in [the] same period in 2024,” PERC stated.
“Lower average crude oil prices of $75.74 per barrel (bbl) this period compared to $82.81/bbl contributed to the dip in oil revenues,” it added.
Despite this, its 2024 profit posted an 89-percent increase to ₱881 million, signaling more RE plants contributing to its growth.
