Clarification of News Report

We reply to your directive to clarify and/or confirm the information posted in PhilSTAR.com wherein it was reported in part that:

“MANILA, Philippines — Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC), the listed conglomerate of the Gotianun family, is bullish on its growth prospects this year, with the company setting its sights on returning to pre-pandemic profit levels.

Despite a strong performance in 2023, FDC president and CEO Rhoda Huang said the company has yet to return to its pre-pandemic levels.

However, Huang said the target is to hit it this year.
. . . .
FDC is looking forward to sustaining the strong momentum in 2023, with the goal of accelerating growth.

Huang said FDC is eyeing an annual growth of at least 20 percent over the medium term.

‘What we’ve announced is a four or five-year plan in terms of 20 percent annual growth,’ she said.

. . . . “

We confirm the veracity of the information contained in the news article. The prospected four or five-year plan of 20 percent annual growth is a target only.

FDC will make the required disclosures to the public as and when there are material concrete developments to the Company’s projects.
