8990 Holdings, Inc., listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) under the symbol “HOUSE,” told stockholders during its annual stockholders meeting today that its affordable housing business has surpassed pre-pandemic levels.
8990 President & CEO Anthony Vincent Sotto shared with the company’s stockholders, “I am thrilled to announce that our 2022 revenues have surpassed pre-pandemic levels. This achievement is a testament to the unwavering dedication and determination of our entire team.”
Total Revenues for Fiscal Year 2022 stood at PhP 21.64 Billion, 6.28% higher than the PhP 20.36 Billion in earnings in FY2021.
Net Profit for FY2022, meanwhile, was at PhP 7.65 Billion, 6.08% higher than the P7.21 Billion Net Profit for FY2021. This was also way higher than the PhP 5.6 Billion in Net Profit for FY2019.
For Sotto, the almost identical 6% growth in Total Revenues and Net Profit indicate “not only the effectiveness of our revenue management strategies but also the efficiency of our cost controls.”
“Our top line growth is at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 23 percent from when the pandemic hit in 2020. Our Income After Tax registered a CAGR of 29 percent in the past three years from just PhP 4.8 Billion in 2019 to almost PhP 8 Billion in 2022,” Sotto added.
The company maintained that demand for affordable housing nationwide remains strong, aided by the continued easing of restrictions and the reopening of the local economy. This, it averred, is a testament to the dedication of the company’s exceptional team and the superior quality of its properties and services.
Sotto added that despite cost pressures, “the measures we took to balance quality and cost has allowed us to keep our Gross Margins at the 50 percent levels. Meanwhile, company’s net margin settled at 37 percent by the end of last year, above our target of 35 percent.”
Sotto pointed to the company’s resilience in the face of an ever-changing landscape, as the prime foundation for its performance.
