During the firm’s annual stockholders’ meeting, the firm said its board approved the declaration of cash dividends of ₱0.14027 per share to all stockholders on record as of May 19, 2025 and payable on June 10, 2025.

“Our strong performance in 2024, which exceeded our target, underscores our ability to adapt and stay ahead in an evolving landscape. We remain committed in pursuing our goal of growing earnings by 20 percent annually,” said FDC President and CEO Rhoda A. Huang.
FDC’s growth was driven by a 22 percent increase in total revenues and other income to ₱113.5 billion in 2024 from ₱92.8 billion the previous year following a double-digit improvement across all business segments.
The increase in revenues and other income by business segment were as follows: Banking, 23 percent; Real Estate, 11 percent; Hospitality, 26 percent; Power, 40 percent; and Sugar, 15 percent.
