The industry giant said the priority now is stronger cash generation and digital platforms that actually move the needle for customers, shifting away from the era of heavy, expansion-first spending.
“We’ve learned that growth isn’t just about how much you build, but how well you build it,” said Globe president and CEO Carl Cruz.
“Our financial strength gives us the space to focus on what truly matters: creating meaningful experiences for our customers and helping communities move forward in the digital age," added.
That message is backed by the numbers: Globe delivered P64.2 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the first nine months of 2025 while reducing capital spending by 23 percent, allowing free cash flow to outperform expectations.
The leaner spending gives the company room to double down on higher-impact areas—mobile data, enterprise tech, cloud services, and digital tools that businesses and consumers increasingly depend on.
