We were conscious of inflationary risks and adapted our business operations and customer offerings accordingly.

As a result, all our businesses participated in the reopening of the economy and delivered good growth.

Our strong financial performance last year was driven by all three core businesses- retailing, banking and property--- as well as a significant contribution to our consolidated earnings by our portfolio investments.

Banking contributed 45% to net income, with property accounting for 23%, retail contributing 21% and portfolio investments the remaining 11%.

We were also able to improve operating margins across our businesses due to the rigorous review of efficiencies and cost saving actions taken over the last two years.

Overall, SM grew consolidated revenues by 28% to PHP554 billion and earnings by 53% to PHP62 billion in 2022.

This exceeded pre-pandemic performance.
