Puregold Price Club Inc. said Tuesday its consolidated net income for 2025 rose 8.8 percent to P11.3 billion from P10.4 billion the previous year, boosted by robust topline growth and better gross margins.
The grocery retail leader saw consolidated revenues climb 10.6 percent to P242.4 billion in 2025 compared to P219.17 billion in 2024.
Same store sales growth (SSSG) for Puregold stores increased 4.1 percent due to larger basket sizes, while S&R Warehouse Club SSSG grew 6.1 percent behind higher foot traffic.
“Our record-breaking earnings underscore the resilience of our core businesses with the aim at providing our target customers the best value, even amid challenging market conditions,” Puregold president Ferdinand Vincent Co said.
The company continued its aggressive footprint expansion in 2025 by opening 28 new Puregold stores, 3 S&R Membership Shopping Warehouses and 9 S&R New York Style QSRs. It also completed the acquisition of 153 Puremart stores during the period.
As of end-2025, the retailer was operating 784 stores nationwide. This included 680 Puregold stores, 33 S&R Membership Shopping Warehouses and 71 S&R New York Style QSRs.
The company plans to focus on accelerating store expansion in key provincial markets to broaden its reach and enhance customer accessibility.
Co said the strategy is intended to position the company for sustained long-term growth and value creation.
