Roxas Holdings posts Q1 net income of P34M


Roxas Holdings, Inc. (RHI) reported a net income of P34 million for the first quarter ending Dec. 31, 2012
versus a net loss of P32 million for the same period last year.

RHI Chairman Pedro E. Roxas said the turnaround was due to lower operating and financing expenses
during the period.
 
“Revenues were much higher for the same period last year at P1.9 billion because we had to export our
raw sugar inventory at cost to pay down our short- term loans,” Mr. Roxas said.
 
Mr. Roxas also noted that the first quarter of the crop year is typically a slow period for the industry as
cane deliveries and sugar recovery are just starting to scale up.
 
RHI President & CEO Renato C. Valencia said the Group is confident that revenues will pick up in the
second and third quarters of the crop year.
 
Mr. Valencia reported that, as a matter of fact, revenues picked up from P644 million to P1.5 billion as
of end-January.
