The President, Mr. Henry Albert R. Fadullon, welcomed everyone to the 2021 Phoenix Petroleum Annual Stockholders' Meeting. He emphasized the Company's priorities during this unprecedented times -- keeping its people safe, maintaining operations running in 'business as usual' mode, preserving its resources, and shared the following highlights:

  • To date, the Company implemented alternative work arrangements, including a work-from-homeset-up, as well as a two-weeks-on and two-weeks-off shifting schedule for depot operations which will remain in effect up to at least for the rest of the year or until it is deemed safe enough to return to the traditional workplace. Additional benefits were given to keep the team healthy and motivated, while regular emailers, online town hall meetings, and digital huddles highlighting heightened safety protocols kept everyone informed and engaged
  • The same was applied for safety to customers through new health and sanitary measures across all physical touchpoints--90% of which now offer contactless payment. We partnered with private and public organizations to fuel transport of essential goods and services, inspired by the Bayanihan spirit that we continue to see today in our communities.
  • The Company had launched LPG's Kalderoke: The Cooking and Singing Showdown, as customers rediscovered the joys of cooking while staying home.
  • Phoenix was recognized by the Department of Energy as the third-largest oil company in the country.
  • Resource preservation initiatives significantly reduced OPEX, prioritized capital-light undertakings, and shortened our cash cycle. Non core activities such as property management, road transport, and supply chain were likewise spun off to improve efficiencies.
  • Phoenix charted a 32% year-on-year growth led by our overseas businesses and LPG. Overseas volume more than doubled in 2020, with 3rd party sales of PNX Petroleum Singapore now twice bigger than internal sales. LPG operations in Vietnam, through Phoenix Gas Vietnam, meanwhile, increased three-fold as Vietnam was among the countries that quickly recovered from the pandemic.
  • On the domestic front, LPG delivered stellar results - posting 31% growth in a down market - as we expanded our Luzon distribution network and sustained double-digit growth in VisMin.
  • As domestic volume picked up in Q4 when lockdown measures continued to ease up, the decline in retail volume was only 14% year-on-year, and 86% pre-COVID levels. Likewise, key industries resumed operations, reducing contraction for Commercial and B2B to 29% for the full year.
  • Fam On Wheels was launched to offer better access to food and other necessities to more communities. The Company partnered with SMEs, and had similar collaborations with other food and restaurant brands whose products gave our stores more variety.
  • Phoenix started to offer delivery services for Phoenix fuel, and partnered with couriers for the delivery of FamilyMart products. Phoenix SUPER LPG can now even be delivered through four channels.
  • Phoenix launched an app-based lifestyle rewards program, LIMITLESS, which provides us with a consolidating digital sales platform to complement our B2B and B2C channels, while offering convenience and exclusive privileges to loyal customers. With the consistent updating and development of the app, and several ground-breaking promos, LIMITLESS now has over 119,000 members, and 480,000 transactions processed, and has generated a sales value of Php 174 MILLION pesos--only months after it was launched in July.
  • Phoenix was able to power through 2020, ultimately resulting in a Php 63 million pesos full-year net income
  • The Company was able to reduce OPEX to essentials and prioritize undertakings that are light on capital needs, making way for savings of Php 2 billion pesos in expenses, consistent with 2020 targets adjusted for COVID-19.
  • The Company lengthened the debt maturity profile as over Php 17 billion pesos in maturities were moved to 2025 and beyond; and decreased

high-cost financing by settling Php 3 billion pesos in STCPs and Php 1.25 billion pesos in preferred shares in December 2020.
