D.M. Wenceslao and Associates Inc. said its full-year 2025 core net income climbed to P1.9 billion, driven by resilient rental earnings and stronger contributions from its residential segment.

Recurring revenues — consisting of rentals from land, commercial buildings, and ancillary leasing sources — reached P3.3 billion, equivalent to 86 percent of total revenues, underscoring the stability of the company’s Aseana City estate portfolio, according to the company release.

Why it matters

The results highlight the durability of DMW’s leasing-led business model at a time when the property sector continues to adjust to evolving interest rates and shifting office demand. 

Recurring income streams remain the backbone of the company’s earnings, while residential developments are providing additional growth.

Commercial building and ancillary rental revenues rose to P2 billion, reflecting stable occupancy across DMW’s portfolio of office and commercial spaces, the company said in the release.

Residential revenues increased 29 percent to P499 million as multiple accounts qualified for revenue recognition during the year.

DMW said MidPark Towers has already welcomed hundreds of residents and is now integrated into the broader Aseana City live-work-play ecosystem.

The company added that Aseana Plaza Phase 1 is under active construction, marking the next phase of premium office expansion within the estate.

“FY2025 reflects the strength of Aseana City as an integrated estate,” said Delfin Angelo “Buds” C. Wenceslao, CEO. 

“As market conditions continue to evolve, we are focused on disciplined execution of our next wave of developments.”

DMW said it maintained a strong financial position with a 0.08x debt-to-equity ratio and P1.4 billion in net cash, providing flexibility to advance its development pipeline.

“We continue to roll out developments through a lens of gradual market recovery,” Wenceslao added. 

“With a strong balance sheet and a measured approach to expansion, we remain confident in delivering long-term value for our stakeholders.” — Princess Daisy C. Ominga | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
