MANILA, Philippines — Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. (RRHI) delivered higher core earnings last year as a result of sustained net sales growth and better operating leverage.

The Gokongwei-owned multi-format retailer registered core net earnings of P6.7 billion in 2025, up by six percent from the previous year’s P6.4 billion.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company, however, plunged by 44.3 percent to P5.7 billion in 2025 due to a high base in 2024, which included a one-time gain from the merger of the Bank of the Philippine Islands and Robinsons Bank.

RRHI’s full-year results included the one-month contribution of motorcycle retailer Premiumbikes Corp. following its consolidation into the company’s financials starting Dec. 1, 2025.

Nets sales increased by 5.7 percent year-on-year to P210.4 billion, with all business segments registering sales growth during the year.

RRHI president and CEO Stanley Co said the company’s performance in 2025 reflects the continued strength of its core businesses and its ability to remain agile in a dynamic retail landscape.

“In 2026, we remain focused on expanding our footprint, elevating customer experience across our formats and investing in strategic initiatives that reinforce our differentiation and support sustainable growth,” Co said.

RRHI ended 2025 with a total of 2,763 stores, consisting of 799 food stores, 1,173 drugstores, 51 department stores, 234 do-it-yourself stores and 506 specialty stores, which include 216 stores from Premiumbikes. It also has 2,154 franchised stores of TGP.

Together with Robinsons Logistix and Industrials Inc. (RLX), a wholly owned subsidiary and the logistics and industrial arm of Robinsons Land, RRHI recently launched a “big box” facility for Shopwise located within Sierra Valley Destination Estate in Cainta, Rizal.

Shopwise’s Sierra Valley will be constructed on a total land area of over 7,000 square meters with a gross leasable area of 5,000 sqm.

The development is set for completion within the first half of 2027, with the store slated to open by the third quarter of the same year.

Shopwise serves as RRHI’s value-driven supermarket brand.

“Designed to serve both the growing local community and visitors to the estate on Ortigas Avenue Extension, this project reinforces RLX’s role as a builder of scalable, high-impact retail infrastructure,” Robinsons Land senior vice president and RLX business unit general manager Cora Ang Ley said.

Ang Ley said the development reflects Robinsons Land’s push into new standalone formats that complement its established portfolio and broaden recurring income streams.

Big box stores are designed for high-volume and high-efficiency operations as well as value-forward merchandising.

Larger than the standard Philippine supermarket, the format supports bulk purchases and everyday value, making it relevant to expanding middle-income households and small business owners.

“This development will serve real needs, strengthen communities and create more opportunities for growth for years to come,” Ang Ley said.
