Monde Nissin Corp., the listed maker of the Lucky Me! brand, reported a strong turnaround in 2025, posting a full-year net income of P8.6 billion, up sharply from P450 million in 2024.

In a stock exchange report on Thursday, the company said consolidated revenue for the year rose 4.0 percent to P86.5 billion, while core net income attributable to shareholders remained largely flat at P9.7 billion, a slight decline of 0.8 percent from the previous year.

Core earnings per share (EPS) held steady at P0.54, while reported EPS stood at P0.48.

The company’s Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of P0.24 per share, with a record date of 24 April, and payment scheduled for 21 May, reflecting Monde Nissin’s commitment to returning excess cash to shareholders.

Asia-Pacific Branded Food and Beverage, the company’s largest segment, posted net sales growth of 4.7 percent to P72.8 billion for the year. 

Gross profit for the segment dipped 1.8 percent to P25.3 billion, while gross margin contracted 230 basis points to 34.8 percent, pressured by higher edible oil costs.

The Meat Alternative (Quorn Foods) business delivered a notable performance, with reported revenue up 0.5 percent to P3.5 billion and gross profit rising 20.0 percent to P3.5 billion. 

Gross margin expanded 417 basis points to 25.6 percent, aided by transformation initiatives, lower inventory and input costs, and targeted price increases. Full-year core EBITDA jumped to P495 million from P12 million in 2024.

Monde Nissin said the results were driven by sustained volume growth in its domestic and international operations, along with strategic cost and pricing measures across key product lines.
