It said in a disclosure to the stock exchange that including one-off items, net income increased 5 percent to P34 billion.
“Ayala’s growth is being sustained by the strong performances of our core businesses. We continue to manage our younger businesses to get them to sustainable trajectories in the near-term. We strive to build a simpler, more collaborative and more connected Ayala.,” Ayala president and chief executive Cezar Consing said.
