Po-backed Century Pacific profit climbs to P3.9B in the first half of 2025

The Po family’s Century Pacific Food Inc. (CNPF) grew net income by 7 percent to P3.9 billion in the first half of 2025, driven by strong branded sales and tighter cost controls.

The company said it expects momentum to continue in the second half as it leans on a resilient product portfolio and expands reach across categories.

Management’s view and outlook 

“We are aiming to deliver high single to low double-digit topline and bottom line growth for 2025,” said chief financial officer Chad Manapat. “By building our diversified portfolio, we position the Group to create lasting value for our stakeholders.”

Revenues continued to grow 

Total revenues rose 5 percent to P39.7 billion, lifted by a 9 percent gain in the branded segment on double-digit volume growth.

This offset a 10 percent drop in original equipment manufacturing (OEM) export sales, which faced a high base from 2024 and softer global demand.

Gross margin slightly declined to 25.7 percent due to normalizing input costs, but this was tempered by lower operating expenses, helping net margin improve to 9.8 percent.
