Clarification of News Report
In the attached news article entitled “Shell earmarks fresh P6-B capex this year” posted in Manila Bulletin (Online Edition) on May 9, 2023, it was reported in part that:
“To propel organic growth, newly renamed Shell Pilipinas Corporation will roll out fresh capital outlay of P5 billion to P6.0 billion this year for the expansion of its mobility stations and other service-offers.
In a briefing with the media, Shell Vice President for Finance and Chief Risk Officer Reynaldo P. Abilo emphasized that ‘for 2023, we are planning to invest the same level - around P5 billion to P6 billion,’ and that is comparable to the P5.6 billion capital spending that the company had done last year.
He stated that the bulk of the capital outlay will be funneled into growing the firm’s mobility network at a scale that will reach 60 stations this year.
‘We will continue to grow our footprint profitably by about 40 to 60 sites; and at the same time, we are going to refresh some of our existing sites in order for them to have more and broader kind of mobility offer for our customers. We’re also ramping our investments in our supply chain,’ Abilo said.
. . . .
The company executive added part of the capex spending buildup they will pursue will be to complete the targeted loop of mid-range import facilities that they are strategically siting in various parts of the country.
‘We are on track in terms of having five (5) medium-range import facilities across the country by 2025,’ Abilo specified, noting that three of these assets are already operating, while the fourth one is under construction and the siting of the last one will soon be unveiled.
‘Our fourth import facility, which is going to be located in southern Davao, we have broken ground there in 2022 and we expect that to be completed by 2024,’ he conveyed.
. . . . ”
SHLPH confirms the article that it intends to invest P5 billion to P6.0 billion this year for the expansion of its mobility stations and its supply chain. Aside from opening new mobility sites, SHLPH will also revamp some of its existing sites to provide non-fuels retail offers such as lube bays, Shell Select convenience stores, Shell Cafe, among others.
