Philippines' URC profit down 12% YoY to $230.1m in 2023

The company attributed the decline to higher comparables from a land sale.

Philippines-based consumer food and beverage products firm Universal Robina Corporation (URC) net income declined by 12% year-on-year (YoY) to $230.14 (PHP12.8b) in 2023 due to higher comparables from a land sale.

This is despite a 6% increase in core net income to $226.8m (PHP12.6b), driven by operating income growth despite higher interest rates, it said in a disclosure.
