GT Capital rides on strong performance from banking, automotive arms

Published Aug 13, 2025 10:29 am
The Ty family’s investment arm, GT Capital Holdings, Inc., expects to sustain its strong growth trajectory as it reported a 31 percent jump in core net income to ₱18.11 billion due to the record performances of Metrobank, Toyota, and Metro Pacific.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the conglomerate said its consolidated net income likewise grew by 34 percent to ₱18.42 billion in the first half of this year, mainly attributed to the record performance of its key operating companies.
Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank) attained a net income of ₱24.8 billion in the first six months of 2025, and Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) achieved a net income of ₱12.5 billion during the same period.
Moreover, GT Capital associate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. also contributed to the holding company’s robust performance as it realized a net income of ₱17.0 billion in the first six months of this year.
“GT Capital delivered strong financial results in the first half of 2025, fuelled by record performance of our automotive and financial services businesses,” said GT Capital President Carmelo Maria Luza Bautista.
He noted that, “These achievements lay a strong foundation for meeting our full-year objectives. We enter the second half with guarded confidence — aware of ongoing uncertainties in both domestic and global markets, yet encouraged by the strength and resilience of our core businesses.
With this momentum and a sharp focus on execution, we are well-positioned to sustain our growth trajectory.”
Metrobank’s profit was supported by healthy loan growth, recovering margins, robust trading income, and improving cost efficiency.
“Our first-half performance reflects the continuing strength of our core businesses. As we enter the second half of the year, we remain focused on building on our fundamentals and implementing prudent strategies, which will allow us to continue helping our clients grow further as well as achieve our medium-term goals," said Metrobank President Fabian S. Dee.
The net income of Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) net income grew 66 percent to ₱12.5 billion in the first half of 2025, while its consolidated revenues increased 19 percent to ₱135.6 billion.
The automotive and mobility company’s performance is attributed to strong retail sales volume, healthy models mix, and favourable foreign exchange movement. TMP remains the country’s leading automotive brand with a market share of 46.1 percent, as of June 30, 2025.
“TMP’s record performance in the first half of the year is reflective of the Filipinos’ value-conscious choice – their continued trust and confidence in the quality, durability, and reliability of Toyota’s products and services.
“Furthermore, we remain committed to our multi-pathway approach to carbon neutrality, emphasizing the need to provide our customers with diverse, accessible, and practical mobility options as we also support the country’s sustainability goals. We will continue to maintain our guarded optimism in our outlook for the remainder of the year, against the backdrop of a dynamic global and local economic environment,” TMP President Masando Hashimoto explained.
In the first half of 2025, Federal Land, Inc. registered a 15 percent growth in reservation sales driven by strong demand for its commercial lots, horizontal developments in Cavite and Laguna, and its ready-for-occupancy vertical residences in Bonifacio Global City and the Manila Bay area.
MPIC sustained its strong growth momentum in the first half of 2025, reporting a 20 percent increase in consolidated core net income to ₱15.0 billion, compared to ₱12.5 billion for the same period in 2024.
AXA Philippines Life and General Insurance Corporation (AXA Philippines) reported a 14 percent growth in gross premium in the January to June 2025 period to ₱16.7 billion.
In the life insurance segment, AXA Philippines’ Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) increased by 18 percent year-on-year to ₱2.5 billion, driven by higher Single Premium and Group Premium contributions.
