d) Competition
i. Robinsons Malls
RLC has two major competitors in its Commercial Centers Division—SM Prime
Holdings, Inc. (SMPHI) and Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI). Each of these companies
has certain distinct advantages over RLC, including SMPHI's considerably
larger mall portfolio and ALI's access to prime real estate in the heart of Metro
Manila. In terms of total assets and equity accounts as of September 30, 2023,
the mall segment of SMPHI has P = 475.6 billion and P
= 140.2 billion while the mall
segment of ALI has P = 215.1 billion and P
= 124.4 billion, respectively. There are a
number of other players in the shopping mall business in the Philippines, but
they are significantly smaller and, because of the high barriers to entry into the
business (which include cost, branding, reputation, scale and access to prime
real estate), RLC expects that it will continue to compete principally with these
two major companies in this market sector for the foreseeable future. Shopping
mall operators also face competition from specialty stores, general
merchandise stores, discount stores, warehouse outlets, street markets and
online stores.
RLC believes its strength is in its mixed-use, retail, commercial and residential
developments. RLC operates on the basis of its flexibility in developing malls
with different sizes depending on the retail appetite of the market per location.
It is focused on balancing its core tenant mix and providing a more distinctive
shopping mall experience to its loyal customers, as well as its ability to
45
leverage the brand equity and drawing power of its affiliated companies in the
retail trade business.
1. RLC Residences
46
2. Robinsons Homes
The Company believes that its reliability to deliver and consistent quality
products at an affordable price has contributed to its ability to generate
sales and its overall success.
The Company believes that competition for office space is principally on the
basis of location, quality and reliability of the project’s design and equipment,
reputation of the developer, availability of space, and PEZA registration. The
biggest competitors of the Company under this segment are ALI, Megaworld
and SM.
The Company competes in this market on the basis of the strategic locations
of its buildings, including their proximity to the malls and residences as part of
its mixed-use developments and its accessibility to public transportation,
building features as the office projects can accommodate all types of tenants
including companies in the IT Business Process Management (IT-BPM)
sector, corporate headquarters and traditional offices. The Company also
believes that its established reputation of good quality, ease of doing
business, and completing projects on time makes it one of the most preferred
choices of the IT-BPM industry as well as local and multinational companies.
The Company is committed in providing an excellent customer experience and
satisfaction by developing office projects of high quality and reliability, meeting
the evolving needs of its customers.
47
iv. Robinsons Hotels and Resorts
RLC competes in different markets for its hotels and resorts segments. Across
all of its hotel formats, its main competitors in terms of number of rooms are:
Ayala Land, Alliance Global Group Inc., SM Hotels and Conventions
Corporation, Filinvest Land Inc and Double Dragon Corporation. Aside from
these large hotel owners and developers, there is a growing number of small
independent players and foreign entrants that increases the competitive
landscape of hospitality in the country.
Demand for logistics facilities continues to be strong. Under its RLX Logistics
Facilities brand, the RLX develops excellent quality logistics facilities in
industrial centers of growth around the Philippines. The biggest competitors of
RLC in the development of logistics facilities are Ayalaland Logistics Holdings
Corp. and Double Dragon Properties Corp.
RDE will harness opportunities for synergies with RLC’s other business units:
Robinsons Malls, Residential, Robinsons Hotels and Resorts, and Robinsons
Offices. RLC, having years of experience in these real estate components, will
thus have a competitive advantage. With efficient master planning, innovative
designs, and quality construction, RLC is committed to sustainable and future-
proof communities.
48
e) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Suppliers
f) Customers
RLC has a broad base of customers, comprised of both local and foreign
individuals, and institutional clients. The Company is not dependent on a
single or a few customers, the loss or any of which would have a material
adverse effect on the business taken as a whole.
As of December 31, 2023, RLC and its subsidiaries have a total of 9,846
employees, including 3,299 permanent full-time managerial and support
employees and approximately 6,547 contractual and agency employees,
grouped by business divisions as follows:

Total ................................................................ 3,299
Vacation leaves, sick leaves, 13th month pay and retirement benefits are
provided to employees, among others, subject to company policies and
procedures.
h) Industry Risk
Demand for and prevailing prices of shopping mall, office and warehouse
leases, as well as the development of the Philippine hospitality sector are
directly related to the strength of the Philippine domestic economy and the
overall levels of business activity in the Philippines.
As the fastest growing sector in the Philippine real estate industry, the
Information Technology-Business Process Management (IT-BPM) outsourcing
sector drives office space demand which fuels the performance and
profitability of Robinsons Offices. The growth of the IT-BPM sector is heavily
dependent on the availability of Information and Communications Technology
(ITC) hubs across the country which provide sufficient labor supply and
upgraded talent ecosystem, good ITC infrastructure and service capabilities,
50
efficient cost and overall business environment as a product of sound
macroeconomic fundamentals and geopolitical climate in the country.

of the calendar year covered by this report.
55
Item 5. Regulatory and Environmental Matters
a) Shopping Malls
Shopping mall centers are regulated by the local government unit of the city or
municipality where the establishment is located. In line with this, mall
operators must secure the required mayor’s permit or municipal license before
operating. In addition, no mall shall be made operational without complying
first with the provisions of the fire code and other applicable local ordinances.
Furthermore, shopping malls with food establishments must obtain a sanitary
permit from the Department of Health. It is also compulsory for shopping malls
discharging commercial wastewater to apply for a wastewater discharge
permit from the DENR and to pay the fee incidental to the permit.
For the shopping malls owned by the Company, RLC has ensured that it is
compliant with all of the above regulations.
Republic Act No. 4726 (The Condominium Act), on the other hand, is the
primary law governing condominiums. The law covers the legal definition of a
condominium, the rights of a unit owner, and the rules governing transfers,
conveyances and partitions in condominiums.
The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) is the administrative
agency of the Government which, together with local government units,
enforces these laws and has jurisdiction to regulate the real estate trade and
business. Subdivision or condominium units may be sold or offered for sale
only after a license to sell (LTS) has been issued by the HLURB. The LTS
may be issued only against a performance bond posted to guarantee the
completion of the construction of the subdivision or condominium project and
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
All subdivision and condominium plans are subject to approval by the relevant
Local Government Unit (LGU) in which the project is situated and by the
HLURB. The development of subdivision and condominium projects can
56
commence only after the HLURB has issued a development permit. Approval
of such plans is conditional on, among other things, the developer’s financial,
technical and administrative capabilities. Alterations of approved plans which
affect significant areas of the project, such as infrastructure and public
facilities, also require the prior approval of the LGU and HLURB.
Project permits and the LTS may be suspended, cancelled or revoked by the
HLURB by itself or upon a verified complaint from an interested party for
reasons such as non-delivery of title to fully paid buyers or deviation from
approved plans. A license or permit to sell may only be suspended, cancelled
or revoked after notice to the developer has been served and all parties have
been given an opportunity to be heard in compliance with the HLURB’s rules
of procedure and other applicable laws.
Republic Act No. 7279 (Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992), as
amended by Republic Act No. 10884, requires developers of proposed
subdivision projects to develop an area for socialized housing equivalent to at
least 15% of the total subdivision area or total subdivision project cost and at
least 5% of condominium area or project cost, at the option of the developer,
in accordance with the standards set by the HLURB. Alternatively, the
developer may opt to buy socialized housing bonds issued by various
accredited government agencies or enter into joint venture arrangements with
other developers engaged in socialized housing development. The Company
has benefited from providing low-income housing or projects of such types
which are financially assisted by the government. These policies and
programs may be modified or discontinued in the future.
The Government may also adopt regulations which may have the effect of
increasing the cost of doing business for real estate developers. Under R.A.
57
No. 10884, income derived by domestic corporations from the development
and sale of socialized housing is exempt from project related income taxes,
capital gains tax on raw lands used for the project, value-added tax for the
project contractor concerned, transfer tax for both raw completed projects, and
donor’s tax for lands certified by the LGUs to have been donated for socialized
housing purposes. Under the current Investment Priorities Plan issued by the
Board of Investments, mass housing projects including development and
fabrication of housing components, are eligible for government incentives
subject to certain policies and guidelines. In the future, since the sale of
socialized housing units comprise a portion of homes sold by the Company,
any changes in the tax treatment of income derived from the sale of socialized
housing units may affect the effective rate of taxation of the Company.
c) Hotels
All hotels and resorts operated by the Company are compliant with the Hotel
Code and registered with the Board of Investments.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, the Philippine hospitality
industry has been subjected to various implementing rules and regulations set
by the government’s Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and Department of
Tourism. These guidelines are regularly updated according to the
requirements of community quarantine classifications intended to manage and
curb the pandemic. As the country eases out of the pandemic, government
restrictions on mobility and travel requirements have generally been lifted.
Under the agrarian reform law currently in effect in the Philippines and the
regulations issued thereunder by the DAR, land classified for agricultural
purposes as of or after 15 June 1988, cannot be converted to non-agricultural
use without the prior approval of DAR.
58
e) Special Economic Zone
An Ecozone may contain any or all of the following: industrial estates, export
processing zones, free trade zones, and tourist/recreational centers. PEZA
registered enterprises locating in an Ecozone are entitled to fiscal and non-
fiscal incentives such as income tax holidays and duty-free importation of
equipment, machinery and raw materials.
59
The aggregate cost of compliance with environmental laws covering all
business segments including waste management, among others, amounted to
P
= 141.13 million, P
= 101.61 million and P
= 65.09 million in calendar years 2023,
2022 and 2021, respectively.
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease that started in Wuhan, Hubei,
China, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the 2019
COVID-19 disease (“COVID-19”) outbreak a Public Health Emergency of
International Concern, and subsequently, with the continued increase in the
number of confirmed cases throughout the world, a pandemic on
March 11, 2020.
As this global problem evolved, the Group continually adapted and adjusted its
business model according to the business environment in the areas where the
Group operates, in full cooperation with the national and local government
units.

Item 9. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation
RLC derives its revenues from real estate operations and hotel operations.
Revenues from real estate operations account for approximately 89% of the
Company’s total revenues in 2023 and are derived from the lease of
commercial spaces in the various malls, the lease of space in office buildings
and industrial facilities, the sale of residential units from the Company’s various
housing projects and the sale of parcels of land. Approximately 11% of total
revenues are derived from hotel operations.
64
RLC generated total gross revenues of P = 42.02 billion for calendar year 2023,
a decrease of 8% from P = 45.50 billion the previous year mainly due to a high
base in 2022 on account of the recognition of revenues from CDXY’s Phase 2.
EBIT and EBITDA continue to improve coming in for a 23% increase to
P
= 17.34 billion and 18% increase to P = 22.82 billion, respectively. This translated
to a record consolidated net income of P = 13.37 billion, 20% higher versus the
same period last year. Meanwhile, net income attributable to equity
shareholders of the parent entity rose by 24% to P = 12.06 billion.
65
Robinsons Destination Estates (formerly Integrated Developments Division)
realized revenues registered at P= 1.16 billion in 2023 from a portion of the
deferred gain on the sale of parcels of land to joint venture entities, an 80%
growth versus the previous year. EBITDA and EBIT amounted to P = 0.67 billion
during the period.
Cost of real estate sales is lower by 66% to P =4.75 billion since last year
includes Phase 2 of CDXY. Cost of amusement services notably increased by
66% from the previous year to P = 0.34 billion, also as a function of significantly
higher amusement revenues. Cost of hotel operations increased by 62% to
P
= 4.13 billion due to higher level of operations with the resurgence of tourism
and also due to newly opened hotel in 2023.
66
Financial Position
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 31% to P = 5.72 billion mainly due to
capital expenditures and payment of maturing loans during the year, and
repurchase of shares valued at P
= 3.23 billion under the Company’s share
buyback program; offset by net increase in total loans, short-term and long-
term, amounting to P
= 2.79 billion.
67
Receivables (current and noncurrent) increased by 13% to P = 24.18 billion
mainly due to increase in installment contract receivables resulting from
additional sales reaching the equity threshold. Also, unrealized gross profit,
which is netted against installment contract receivables decreased due to
faster completion of projects.
Subdivision land, condominium and residential units for sale increased by 10%
to P
= 35.68 billion mainly due additional cost incurred on all ongoing projects.

RLC generated total gross revenues of P = 45.50 billion for calendar year 2022,
an increase of 25% from P = 36.54 billion the previous year on account of the
sales recognition of residential projects, success of leasing activities across its
investment properties, and accelerated recovery of consumption in the malls.
EBIT and EBITDA continue to improve coming in for a 45% increase to
P
= 14.11 billion and 29% increase to P =19.35 billion, respectively. This translated
to a record consolidated net income of P = 11.13 billion, 31% higher versus the

total revenues from Phase 2 of the project. Both EBITDA and EBIT ended at
P

million as of December 31, 2022.
71
Cost of real estate sales went up by 6% to P = 14.13 billion from P
= 13.34 billion
last year as a function of increased realized sales. Cost of amusement
services notably increased by 12,757% from the previous year to P = 0.21 billion,
also as a function of significantly higher amusement revenues. Cost of hotel
operations increased by 86% to P = 2.55 billion due to higher level of operations
with the resurgence of tourism and also due to newly opened hotels in 2022.
72
Financial Position
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 56% to P = 8.28 billion mainly due to
capital expenditures and payment of maturing loans during the year, and
repurchase of shares vaued at P = 2.13 billion under the Company’s share
buyback program; offset by availment of short-term loans and issuance of
P
= 15.00 billion bonds.
73
Subdivision land, condominium and residential units for sale decreased by
14% to P = 32.51 billion mainly due to the recognition of the related cost of sales
for the Company’s Chengdu Ban Bian Jie project.
Income tax payable increased by 488% to P = 0.18 billion due to higher taxable
income this year compared to last year. The decrease in deferred tax
liabilities-net of 10% to P
= 2.92 billion is mainly attributed to to the tax effect of
the excess of real estate revenue based on percentage-of-completion over
real estate revenue based on tax rules.

RLC generated total gross revenues of P = 36.54 billion for calendar year 2021,
an increase of 30% from P = 28.03 billion the previous year with strong organic

the continued success of the Chengdu Ban Bian Jie project in China. EBIT
and EBITDA increased by 14% to P = 9.71 billion and 9% to P = 14.96 billion,
respectively. This translated to a consolidated net income of P = 8.50 billion,

95% of the entire project have been sold, while construction for Phase 2 is

With the gradual easing of travel restrictions and the re-opening of some

consolidated revenues, hotel revenues rose 11% to P = 1.20 billion versus a year

internally-generated funds and gross proceeds from the landmark initial public
offering of RLC’s real estate investment trust, RL Commercial REIT, Inc.
amounting to P= 23.43 billion; offset by capital expenditures for the year.
79
Other current assets decreased by 49% to P= 4.75 billion from P
= 9.27 billion last
year mainly due to the release from escrow of cash held for land acquisitions,
decrease in net input VAT and advances to lot owners and amortization of
prepaid expenses.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling P = 17.70 billion grew by 19%
versus last year’s P
= 14.86 billion due to higher level of capital expenditures.

Item 16. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
RLC is the real estate arm and a member of the JG Summit group. The JG Summit
group is comprised of JG Summit and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2023, JG
Summit held 65.44% of the outstanding shares of the Company. It was incorporated
in November 1990 as the holding company for a group of companies with diverse
interests in branded consumer foods, agro-industrial and commodity food products,
textile, telecommunications, petrochemicals, air transportation and financial services.
RLC and its subsidiaries, in their ordinary course of business, engage in transactions
with companies in the JG Summit group and other companies controlled by the
Gokongwei Family. RLC’s policy with respect to related party transactions is to ensure
that these transactions are entered into on terms comparable to those available from
unrelated third parties.
The Company’s major related party transactions include leases of significant portions of
its commercial centers and office buildings to companies controlled by the Gokongwei
Family, including Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket and
Handyman Do-It-Best. Other affiliates from whom RLC earns rental income include
Robinsons Bank and Cebu Pacific Air, Inc. Rental income paid to RLC by affiliates
amounted to P=4.00 billion and P= 3.33 billion for the years ended December 31, 2023
and 2022, respectively.
RLC and its subsidiaries also maintain savings and current accounts and time deposits
with Robinsons Bank, an affiliated local commercial bank. These balances amounted
to P
= 4.47 billion and P
= 4.97 billion as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

PART IV. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
In late 2003, the Board of Directors approved its Corporate Governance Compliance
Evaluation System (“System”) in order to monitor and assess the level of compliance
of the Company with leading practices on good corporate governance as specified in
its Corporate Governance Manual and pertinent SEC Circulars. The System likewise
highlights areas for compliance improvement and actions to be taken. One of the
System’s output is the Annual Corporate Governance Compliance Evaluation Form
(“ACGCEF”) submitted to the SEC and PSE on or before January 30 of every year.
RLC began making such submission of the ACGEF covering the previous calendar
year to the SEC and PSE in 2004.
Consistent with the Revised Manual and pursuant to the recommendations provided
in the Code of Corporate Governance for Publicly Listed Companies (“PLCs”), the
Company strengthened its policies on Board Diversity, Board Nomination and
Election, Succession Planning and Remuneration, Material Related Party
Transactions and Whistleblowing to reinforce the governance framework of the
Company. There has been no deviation from the Company’s Revised Manual since it
was adopted. RLC remains compliant with corporate governance requirements of the
corporate governance standards mandated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s (SEC) Code of Corporate Governance for Publicly-Listed Companies,
among other SEC regulations and applicable laws.
Furthermore, the Company ensures compliance with the reportorial requirements for
PLCs such as the submission of the Integrated Corporate Governance Report (“I-
ACGR”) to the SEC and the PSE. The I-ACGR is a reportorial requirement under
SEC Memorandum Circular No. 15 series of 2017 to all PLCs to disclose the
Company’s compliance/non-compliance with the recommendations provided under
the Corporate Governance Code for PLCs. With the “comply or explain” approach,
voluntary compliance to recommended corporate governance best practices is
combined with mandatory disclosure. The Company submitted its I-ACGR for
calendar year 2022 on May 29, 2023.

Economic Performance and Procurement Practices
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders
affected
Impacts. In terms of economic performance, RLC reported Php 42 billion in
total revenues and Php 13.37 billion in consolidated net income, which was
8% lower and 20% higher, respectively, than the previous year. The company
attributed its growth to the positive contributions each business unit made
due to a fully recovered economy and high consumer spending. RLC’s
sustained profitability highlights the resilience of its strategic initiative amidst
challenging market conditions.
In 2023, 78% or Php 32.8 billion of our revenue flowed back to society,
through our major stakeholders, suppliers, employees and the government.
Our contribution to the economy is evaluated by our role in stimulating
growth in the sectors in which we operate, including job creation, tourism,
infrastructure development, foreign investment, and overall GDP Growth.
51% or Php 21.5 billion of the generated economic value was distributed to
our suppliers in the form of payments. RLC continues to foster long-lasting
partnerships with its communities, by actively promoting and supporting local
suppliers that help local businesses to grow and expand, which in return, will
have a beneficial impact on the overall Philippine economy.
104
retained to finance ongoing and upcoming projects, ensuring the continuous
growth of the company.
Risks. Since 51% of our revenue flows directly towards our suppliers, our
supply chain still represents the biggest risk of inequitable flow of economic value.
Therefore, any unfair practice dealt with suppliers can constitute a risk to
our capacity to flow value to society equitably.
RLC continues to implement ethical sourcing policies that choose suppliers who
show a dedication to fair labor practices, environmental sustainability, and social
responsibility. By cultivating strong relationships with suppliers and promoting
ethical business practices throughout their supply chains, companies can
mitigate the risk of inequitable flow to suppliers and ensure the long-term
sustainability of their businesses.
Furthermore, Robinsons Land also partners with local suppliers for various
projects. RLC recognizes that engaging with local sources can create a mutually
beneficial scenario for both the company and the local communities, fostering
long-term relationships and contributing to the welfare of all parties involved.
This provides locals with access to economic opportunities wherever we are
105
located. We give priority to sourcing goods and services locally, if suppliers who
meet our minimum standards are available in the locality. We only source in
Metro Manila when qualified suppliers do not exist in local provincial areas.
Lastly, Robinsons Land continues to prioritize local hiring in the areas where its
operations are situated. The company recognizes that local hiring can offer
numerous advantages, including job creation and support for the local
economy. This practice demonstrates commitment to the area and developing a
sense of trust and goodwill with its neighbors, and increasing diversity that can
lead to a more inclusive and collaborative workplace.
Ensuring equitable access to our products. Our malls and offices enable
businesses to grow and flourish by providing the right locations that afford them
and their clients a space to transact their businesses. We ensure that we
accommodate both local merchants and organizations, promoting the growth of
both local businesses and foreign brands.
106
Opportunities & Management Approach
RLC continuously conducts anti-corruption policies and codes of business
ethics to ensure the application of proper and current control mechanisms
across all our business operations. We also continue to engage third-party
providers such as SGV to implement best practices on anti-corruption and
bribery prevention. This commitment results in enhanced transparency and
fairness for all stakeholders involved.
Lastly, we are also actively developing a strategy to ensure that all employees
are paid, at least, a living wage. This commitment underscores our dedication
to supporting financial well-being of our workforce and promoting equitable
compensation practices.
Apart from this, several RLC employees and experts have undergone a TCFD
workshop back in July. The workshops cover how to publicly disclose the
climate-related risks of our businesses and create a report that investors
globally recognize and use when assessing listed companies.

Corruption undermines our ability to equitably flow value to our key
stakeholders, i.e., suppliers, employees, government, and providers of
capital. Risks can exist in key areas such as procurement, and those
functions that directly interface with government.

Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
The Company is committed to promoting transparency and fairness to all
stakeholders. The Board sets the tone and makes a stand against corrupt
practices by adopting an anti-corruption policy and program. Some of the
Company’s Anti-Corruption programs are embodied in the Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics, Conflict of Interest, and Offenses Subject to Disciplinary
Action (OSDA), among others. The same are disseminated to all employees
across the Company through trainings to embed them in the Company’s
culture. New employees are oriented regarding policies and procedures
related to Business Conduct and Ethics and similar policies. All employees are
given periodic reminders. Further, all concerned employees are required to
comply with the Annual Self-Disclosure Activity on an annual basis.
• Compliance with Laws and Regulations - The Company ensures that all
transactions comply with relevant laws and regulations. Any deficiencies are
immediately rectified.

The following shows the process of termination upon findings of Anti-
Corruption:
1. In case an Offense is committed or supposed to have been committed by an
employee or business partner, his immediate superior or transacting
department must properly investigate the matter.
2. Establish and check facts that will serve as basis for decision, examining
evidence physical or otherwise. Twin notices are to be sent. The employee
concerned or business partner is asked to air side, while there will also be an
employee conference.
3. Analysis and evaluation of the findings
4. Preserving the integrity and reliability of evidence
5. Recommendation of Penalty. If the recommended penalty is dismissal, the
department head shall endorse the matter to HRD for further evaluation and
will in turn endorse the matter to Corporate Legal for the conduct of
Administration Investigation/Hearing to determine whether the matter merits
the imposition of dismissal.
6. Imposing the penalty/dismissal will be documented using the appropriate
forms.
7. The concerned party will be informed verbally by explaining the findings and
the penalty. All concerned parties/department must be notified of the
disciplinary penalty.
8. Upon recommendation of Corporate Legal of dismissal, the Notice of
Dismissal is subject to approval by the President or Company Officer
authorized to do so. Upon approval of the Notice of Dismissal, the
department head will serve the notice to the employee. If the employee
refuses to acknowledge receipt copy of notice as such fact(s) will be
annotated on all copies of the notice. The said Notice of Dismissal has to be
sent via registered mail or other accredited courier to the last known address
of the employee. Proof of delivery must be kept as evidence to show that the
notice was served. All departments concerned must be notified of the
dismissal.

Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
Since 2015, RLC has committed its efforts to the continuous installation of
solar panels in our malls. RLC has 24 solar-powered malls and has invested 1.7
billion to install 101,234 panels. To date, these 24 malls have saved a total of
1.4 billion pesos in electricity costs and avoided a total of 118,388 Tonnes of
co2 emissions which is equivalent to 1.96 million trees planted. Apart from
this, a total amount of 47.3m kwh renewable energy was purchased for 2023
to lessen the consumed electricity from fuel-based generators.
113
Water Consumption
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders
affected
Being the most versatile resource, water is a key element in making sure that
daily operations run smoothly. All buildings and spaces need to ensure their
water supply's availability to cater to its customers, personnel and tenants
properly and to maintain clean and workable spaces. Despite its seemingly
limitless supply, water is still a scarce resource and it’s our duty to handle it
responsibly and efficiently. We understand that every liter that’s consumed is a
liter potentially taken from communities or agriculture that needs it as well.
In our Resorts and Hotels, water is on a much more operational level. With
frequent use of amenities like pools and showers to ensure the enjoyable
experience of guests, consumption of water is at a much higher level. This
allows for a limited range of options for water efficiency. To tackle this, RLC
continues to do periodical checking of leaks, invests in water-efficiency fixtures
and sets water conservation reminders for customers and guests. Water
softeners for provincial properties that experience hardness in water supply,
continue to be implemented this year. It has improved our overall water
efficiency and reduction in consumption. For future developments, installation
of indirect heat exchangers will help save in our maintenance costs by
protecting pipes from scaling which naturally conserves water resources as
well.
114
Opportunities and Management Approach
RLC believes that water conservation and treatment are the key opportunities
that can be explored. With new technology developing every day, the capacity
in which rainwater can be harvested, treated and repurposed will definitely be
a huge opportunity to lower discharge and increase water saved. Water
catchments and water impounding areas continue to be good measures we
are exploring to recharge the aquifer and reduce the impact of groundwater
extraction.
Materials
Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
In real-estate, construction and development is in the centerfold of growing the
business. This means that RLC is heavily reliant on the use of construction
materials such as cement, rebars and glass to build malls, houses, offices, paved
roads in subdivisions, mixed-use developments and townships. While these
materials are essential in building and renovating infrastructure, they are also
non-renewable and require lots of energy, waste and carbon emissions to
produce. It is also recognized that such materials also require mining of raw
minerals to produce, hence added negative effects to the environment. Usage of
these materials impacts all stakeholders in general, since such scarce resources
affect pricing of other resources indirectly. Limestone deposits in the Philippines
are also limited, hence being more reserved in its usage will reduce the
availability of these finite resources for future generations.
115
Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
Regulation and monitoring will be the key to managing the use of these
materials. Working with contractors to continuously improve the overall design
of our buildings and infrastructures while also ensuring sustainable
construction practices will create a more optimized and eco-friendly use of raw
materials without any trade-offs in durability and quality.
Opportunities and Management Approach
The main costs of constructing properties come from the materials used to
build them. Reducing material use is a good way to lower cost, but to maintain
the structural integrity of our buildings, we plan to improve and analyze our
material efficiency, design and construction systems through improved use of
environmentally friendly and recycled materials.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders
affected
A huge part of our GHG emissions come from sourcing our electricity externally.
These power generation facilities burn fossil fuel to produce high amounts of
electricity, and thus also release a lot of carbon emissions. Scope 2 emissions
are indirect since the electricity that is being used is produced by a company
outside RLC. Scope 3 emissions are a step further since the usage of electricity is
not on RLC per se but our tenants. All these emissions if not reduced, will greatly
affect climate change and global warming. In that sense GHG emissions affect
all stakeholders indirectly.
Part of the company’s emissions also come from diesel, gas and LPG use (scope
1). There is no clear alternative yet for these resources, however, educating our
tenants, customers, and employees in responsible usage of these carbon-
emitting sources continues to be a committed effort for RLC.
For our scope 3 emissions reporting, we are looking into reporting other
indirect sources aside from energy consumed by our tenants.

We have started to include ODS in our list of air pollutant disclosures this year.
Air Pollutants
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders
affected
In our operations, the major source of air pollutants is from properties that have
standby generators. Since they are standby power supplies only, their use is
limited only in times of power interruptions, which has become very minimal in
recent years. Unlike bunker C fuel, the generating sets are fueled by diesel
oil, which could easily be burnt without the release of soot. Importantly, the
air to fuel ratio is optimized during the operation of the generating power
units. The impact of operating the generating sets on air quality is expected
to be tolerable and will not cause a significant adverse impact to the
environment or people.
The main air pollutant source of RLC is when generators become operational.
When there are power outages or sudden need for additional electricity, stand-
by generators are used to supply energy on the spot. Since these generators are
only on “stand-by” they are only used on a situational basis. However, when they
are operational, air pollutants such as NOx, SOx, ODS are produced. These
generators are powered by diesel oil, and unlike bunker C fuel, diesel oil is easily
burnt without the release of soot. ODS has been added this year.
118
Opportunities and Management Approach
We see opportunities for reducing our Air Pollutants. We make sure that
mitigating measures are properly implemented in all the APCS (Air Pollution
Control Systems) and ensure the installation and proper & regular monitoring
and maintenance of the generator sets, and air pollution control facilities, such
as, mufflers exhausts, and air conditioning systems filters.

Environmental Compliance
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders
affected
Being a real-estate business, RLC has a very sensitive relationship with the
environment. Certain decisions and choices such as where buildings are
constructed, how buildings are constructed, what materials were used, what
permits we have, can easily disrupt the environment, thus exposure to non-
compliance risks. With the scarcity of environmental resources and the industry’s
impact on nature, environmental laws are set to regulate the actions done by
companies such as RLC. Putting a focus on compliance will not only be good for
the environment but also minimize overall costs and damage to our reputation.
RLC is aware of the stakes in maintaining compliance with environmental laws set
by the government.
121
Opportunities and Management Approach
We plan to step up our internal capability building and improve our systems so
that all activities that we will do will remain compliant to regulations. We will
invest in training and monitoring activities to correct any non-compliance
issues in our operations internally to reduce findings from audits of
government and third - party consultants.

The benefits we provide our employees deliver a lasting effect on our employees’
quality of life. For example, providing health care coverage to our employees
determines their resilience to medical emergencies, which is key to maintaining
quality of life. Employees who enjoy a good quality of life will tend to be more
engaged and productive in the workplace, which impacts our business positively.
124
Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
Hiring, Benefits, Diversity and Equal Opportunity. We hire based on capability
and alignment with the requirements of the job. In our hiring process, we do not
discriminate against any person in terms of gender, ethnicity, age, and other
circumstances. We apply an anticipatory hiring strategy looking at our needs in
the next 3-5 years based on our long-term business strategy. We have an intake
program to hire early on and better prepare our new hires even before the actual
needs arise.
In terms of gender diversity, we currently have about 54% female and 46% male.
We are working towards striking a better balance in terms of gender. RLC was
included in the 2022 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index for scoring at or above
global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect high level of disclosure and
over- all performance across the frameworks’ five pillars: Female Leadership and
Talent Pipeline; Equal pay and Gender Pay Parity; Inclusive Culture; Sexual
Harassment Polices; and Pro-Women Brand.
In particular, RLC scored high in Female Leadership and Talent Pipeline or equal
representation and opportunities in the workplace and Anti-Sexual Harassment
Policies. RLC’s employees are 54% women. It can also be noted that 63% of
promoted employees are Female.
Benefits. We benchmark our benefit structure with the industry standards and
adjust accordingly to stay within the industry average. On top of government-
mandated benefits, we provide other benefits as part of our engagement
initiatives such as healthcare coverage (HMOs), life insurance, medical allowance,
rice subsidy, bereavement assistance, discounts to our products, and access to
affordable emergency loans.
125
Opportunities and Management Approach
Attrition. Our attrition rate for 2023 was 19%. In exit interviews, we see offers for
better employment opportunities remain the biggest reasons for attrition. We

Logistix and Industrials - Calamba 2A and Calamba 2B | Residential -
Woodsville Crest - Olive Building, Le Pont, Mantawi Tower 1, Sierra Valley Garden

Retaining employees is critical to our long-term success in the real estate industry,
ensuring customer satisfaction, increased sales, satisfied coworkers, and effective
succession planning as well as organizational knowledge and learning.
RLC aims to reduce its attrition rate by 5 percentage points in the next 5 years.
The management aims to improve the following, (i). training/ workshops, (ii).
increase mentorship and guidance from supervisors, (iii). more discussion with
employees and managers on employee’s career growth, (iv). as well as a review of
our benefits and total rewards policy.

Labor – Management Relations
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders affected
Good labor-management relations create a healthy workplace for us. It enables
our employees to raise their concerns to the management. It helps the
management find ways to refine its policies and systems that improve our
workplace conditions in both construction and in operations, particularly in our
malls and hotels and resorts. Good workplace conditions help reduce health and
safety risks and provide social safety nets for our employees in times of crisis.
129
Opportunities and Management Approach
We continually look for better ways to solicit feedback from our employees
through formal and informal feedback sessions. In 2023, we received an average
score of 82% when we conducted a pulse survey to assess the impression of the
employees towards the company and its work environment. This is in terms of
employee engagement, collaboration, communication, company leadership,
customer focus, personal career growth & development potential, job
enablement, pay & benefits, performance & accountability, strategic alignment
and work process.
Do you have policies that explicitly disallow violations of labor laws and human
rights (e.g. harassment, bullying) in the workplace?
130
We do not have explicit written corporate policies relating to these topics
since these are expressly defined in our Philippine labor laws, which we
ensure compliance in all our operations.

Threats to the rights, health, and safety of our employees impact our productivity,
employee retention, and employee engagement. More importantly, it impacts the
wellbeing and quality of life of our employees. Risks to health and safety are
greater in construction sites than in operations.
132
Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
OSH management system is primarily designed to protect the health and safety of
individual workers or members of the company. OSH Trainings are regularly
conducted for the Lead Persons – Engineers, Security, Operations personnel.
Health and safety risks are regularly assessed to identify ways to eliminate or
minimize incidence. We set standards for safe working practices and ensure they
are practiced by all our employees, especially those involved in construction and
operations. In-house auditing and inspections are being conducted by
facility's/property engineers and operation's personnel. Documentations are done
by engineering and security and validated by the JG Summit Engineering group.
We ensure strict compliance with the requirements of the Fire Code of the
Philippines and other relevant regulations.
Beyond safety, we ensure all our operations comply with labor laws, including
those relevant to forced labor, child labor, and human rights. We conduct
periodic internal audits to monitor these risks in all our operations. The findings
are discussed in the top management.
133
Supply Chain Management
Do you have a supplier accreditation policy? If yes, please attach the policy or link to
the policy:
134
Supply Chain Management
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders affected
About 51% of our revenue flows to our suppliers. Most of the activities we do in
the value chain is carried out by suppliers from construction to property
management. Hence the impact of our suppliers to environment, society, and
economy (ESE) is a significant portion of our impact. Our supplier’s success in
delivering their output determines our own success. Their impact on ESE affects
essentially all our stakeholders.
135
Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
Our current supplier accreditation policy ensures that all our suppliers meet the
minimum standards to deliver quality output for us. Through our accreditation
process, we assess their capability and compliance to all relevant laws and
regulations.
On top of the accreditation process, the following processes are being done to
assess the performance of suppliers.
Any supplier that fails to comply with minimum standards go through the
following recourse: 1) Suspension, 2) Debarment, 3) Appeal Process, and 4)
Reinstatement if the supplier is able comply with our minimum standards.

mandatory process that guides sustainability-related risk management and
integrates a risk register into operating plans. As part of that process, exploration,
production and major projects are examined against the physical, social and
political settings of our operations. Local concerns may influence the potential
importance of these stakeholders and environmental matters including long-term
risks and cumulative impacts. Risks are identified and described by a diverse
group of subject matter experts in each business unit (BU) and project.
146
Opportunities and Management Approach

Customer Management - Health and Safety, Customer Privacy and Data Security
Impacts and Risks: Where it occurs, RLC’s involvement, stakeholders affected
Customer management is fundamental to corporate success and sustainability.
Our ability to keep our customers satisfied is at the core of our performance as a
corporation. Ensuring their health and safety in the use of our products, and
protecting their information are ways to deliver customer satisfaction.
Our inability to meet their expectations poses a significant risk to our viability in
both the short-and-long term horizons.
148
Management Approach for Impacts and Risks
Customer Satisfaction. We conduct periodic market research to gauge customer
expectations and build the right products and services to meet their expectations,
needs, and capabilities. Our customer satisfaction surveys tell us whether the
products and services as designed have indeed met their requirements. We
continually iterate and improve our performance through these processes.
Health and Safety. We ensure that our properties do not pose any risk to the
health and safety of our employees. This is assured from the design process to
construction as well as operations that it meets the highest building standards that
ensures it is resilient to any structural threats. In our properties, we continue to
assess risks to our customers such as slippage and fall and periodically audit to
ensure compliance to our standards.
Customer Privacy and Data Security. All personal information collected during
customer interactions is handled in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
The contact details of our Data Protection Office are visible on our company
website and various privacy notices where data privacy inquiries and complaints
may be addressed. The Company & our Data Protection Officer (DPO) is
registered with the National Privacy Commission (NPC), the government agency
mandated to administer and implement the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Moreover,
our DPO is an active member of Data Privacy Council of NPC as the Sectoral
Representative for Real Estate.
To protect customer data as well as all our other confidential information, we have
implemented a strong security policy, put in place advanced network security
protection and monitoring process in the following aspects of our data
management system:
149
• We have corporate information security team that performs Security
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (SVAPT) on regular and
on-demand basis specially before we launch a new website.
Beyond customer satisfaction, we intend to measure the real economic and social
value we contribute to our customers and their stakeholders, such as how our
malls are able to increase their access to market through increased foot traffic to
our malls to better understand how our product enable them to grow as they
locate with us. A more systematized measurement of economic and social value
will enable us to better optimize our products for increased value to the
customers we serve and to society in general.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Robinsons Land Corporation and
its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at
December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of
comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and notes to the consolidated
financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group as at
December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 are
prepared in all material respects, in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs),
as modified by the application of the financial reporting reliefs issued and approved by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in
accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants in the Philippines (Code of Ethics)
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial
statements in the Philippines, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with PFRSs, as modified by the application of the
financial reporting reliefs as issued and approved by the SEC in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The impact of the application of the financial reporting reliefs on the 2023 and 2022 consolidated
financial statements are discussed in detail in Note 2. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description
of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters.
Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our
audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Group’s revenue recognition process, policies and procedures are significant to our audit because
these involve application of significant judgment and estimation in the following areas: (1) assessment of
the probability that the entity will collect the consideration from the buyer; and, (2) application of the
input method as the measure of progress in determining real estate revenue.
In evaluating whether collectability of the amount of consideration is probable, the Group considers the
significance of the buyer’s initial payments in relation to the total contract price (or buyer’s equity).
Collectability is also assessed by considering factors such as history with the buyer, age of residential
development receivables and pricing of the property. Management regularly evaluates the historical sales
cancellations and back-outs if it would still support its current threshold of buyers’ equity before
commencing revenue recognition.
In determining the transaction price, the Group considers the selling price of the real estate property and
other fees and charges collected from the buyers that are not held on behalf of other parties.
In measuring the progress of its performance obligation over time, the Group uses the input method.
This method measures progress based on actual costs incurred as determined by the accounting
department relative to the estimated total project cost. In the estimation of total project costs, the Group
requires technical determination by the Group’s specialists (project engineers) to estimate all the inputs
involved in the construction and development of the projects to include materials, labor and other costs
directly related to the construction of the projects.
In 2022 and 2021, the Group’s real estate revenue and costs include revenue recognition from the Group’s
real estate operations in China. In recording its revenues, taking into account the contract terms, business
practice and the legal and regulatory environment in China, it uses the completed contract method (CCM)
in accordance with PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this method, all the
revenue and profit associated with the sale of the real estate inventories is recognized only after the
completion of the project.
The disclosures related to the real estate revenue are included in Note 21 to the consolidated financial
statements.

Audit Response
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s real estate revenue recognition process, policies and
procedures.
For the buyers’ equity, we evaluated management’s basis of the buyer’s equity by comparing this to the
historical analysis of sales cancellations from buyers with accumulated payments above the collection
threshold.
For the determination of the transaction price, we obtained an understanding of the nature of other fees
charged to the buyers. For selected contracts, we compared the amounts excluded from the transaction
price against the expected amounts required to be remitted to the government based on existing tax rules
and regulations (e.g., documentary stamp taxes, transfer taxes and real property taxes).
For the application of the input method in determining real estate revenue and for determining the cost of
sales, we obtained an understanding of the Group’s processes for determining the percentage of
completion (POC), including the cost accumulation process, and for determining and updating of total
estimated costs, and performed tests of the relevant controls on these processes. We assessed the
competence, capabilities and objectivity of the project engineers by reference to their qualifications,
experience and reporting responsibilities. For selected projects, we traced costs accumulated, including
those incurred but not yet billed costs, to the supporting documents such as purchase order, billings and
invoices of contractors and other documents evidencing receipt of materials and services from suppliers
and contractors. For the estimation of total project costs, we obtained an understanding of the Group’s
budgeting and project close-out process. For the estimated project cost, we performed test of details
(price and quantity) on a sampling basis, for the inputs for each of the major project development
workstream. We also performed test of subsequent changes to the budget by vouching to certain
documents such as capital fulfillment plan, capital expenditure requests and related executive committee
approvals. We performed look-back analysis for both ongoing projects and fully completed projects in
current and prior years and performed inquiries with the project engineers for the basis of revisions. We
visited selected project sites and made relevant inquiries with project engineers. We performed test
computation of the POC calculation of management.
For the years 2022 and 2021, revenue recognition of the Group’s real estate operations in China reported
under CCM, we coordinated with the non-EY auditors of the Group in China on certain audit procedures
and shared information that may be relevant to their audit. However, we have no responsibility for the
procedures they performed or for their report. Also, we coordinated with our EY network firm in China
(EY Hua Ming Chengdu Office) to perform planning, risk identification and review of audit procedures
performed by the non-EY auditors of the Group in China. Based on the reports obtained and reviewed,
the non-EY auditors in China performed tests of the relevant controls on the revenue recognition process,
verified the revenue and costs recognized, obtained and assessed relevant licenses including
communications to buyers that real estate inventories are ready for acceptance, obtained signed notice of
acceptance or equivalent documentation from the buyers, obtained and evaluated accomplishment reports,
and validated that the revenue and costs are recognized in the appropriate period.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the SEC Form 20 IS (Definitive Information Statement), SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report
for the year ended December 31, 2023, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon. The SEC Form 20 IS (Definitive Information Statement), SEC Form 17-A and
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 are expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audits, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with PFRSs, as modified by the application of financial reporting relief issued
and approved by the SEC as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with PSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these consolidated financial statements.
183 *SGVFS187718*
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease
to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in accordance with PFRSs, as modified by the application of financial
reporting relief issued and approved by the SEC as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of
doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Michael C. Sabado.

achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the
investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically,
the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee)
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this
presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an
investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power
over an investee, including:
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights
195 *SGVFS187718*
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary
begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control
of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of
during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains
control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent
Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealized
gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity
holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting
policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to
transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests (NCI) pertain to the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or
indirectly to the Parent Company. NCI represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in
subsidiaries not owned by the Group and are presented separately in consolidated statement of
comprehensive income and consolidated statement of changes in equity and within equity in the
consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity holders of the Parent Company.
Any equity instruments issued by a subsidiary that are not owned by the Parent Company are non-
controlling interests, including preferred shares and options under share-based transactions, if any.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an
equity transaction (see Note 4).
Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, the carrying amount
of any non-controlling interest and the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity.
Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received, the fair value of any investment retained
and any surplus or deficit in profit or loss.
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive
income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company and the
following subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for
the adoption of new standards effective in 2023. The Group has not early adopted any standard,
interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Unless otherwise indicated, adoption of the new standards and amendments did not have an impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
The amendments provide guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements to
accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy
disclosures that are more useful by:
Replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a
requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies, and
Adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about
accounting policy disclosures
As a result of the adoption, discussions about new standards and amendments adopted but
without effect on the 2023 consolidated financial statements or any prior period and those that are
forthcoming that do not have, or not expected to have significant or material impact to the Group
have been simplified.
200 *SGVFS187718*
Standards Issued but not yet Effective
Pronouncements issued but not yet effective are listed below. Unless otherwise indicated, the Group
does not expect that the future adoption of the said pronouncements will have a significant impact on
its consolidated financial statements. The Group intends to adopt the following pronouncements
when they become effective.
Deferred effectivity
Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, and PAS 28, Sale or Contribution
of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
Deferral of Certain Provisions of PIC Q&A 2018-12, PFRS 15 Implementation Issues Affecting
the Real Estate Industry (as amended by PIC Q&As 2020-02 and 2020-04)
On February 14, 2018, the PIC issued PIC Q&A 2018-12 which provides guidance on some
PFRS 15 implementation issues affecting the real estate industry. On October 25, 2018 and
February 08, 2019, the SEC issued SEC MC No. 14-2018 and SEC MC No. 3-2019, respectively,
providing relief to the real estate industry by deferring the application of certain provisions of this
PIC Q&A for a period of three years until December 31, 2020. On December 15, 2020, the
Philippine SEC issued SEC MC No. 34-2020 which further extended the deferral of certain
provisions of this PIC Q&A until December 31, 2023.
The PIC Q&A provisions covered by the SEC deferral that the Group availed in 2023 follows:
Deferral Period
Assessing if the transaction price includes a significant financing component Until December 31, 2023
as discussed in PIC Q&A 2018-12-D (as amended by PIC Q&A 2020-04)
The SEC Memorandum Circulars also provided the mandatory disclosure requirements should an
entity decide to avail of any relief. Disclosures should include:
The Group availed of the SEC relief on the accounting for significant financing component of
PIC Q&A No. 2018-12. Had this provision been adopted, the Group assessed that the impact
would have been as follows:
201 *SGVFS187718*
The mismatch between the POC of the real estate projects and right to an amount of consideration
based on the schedule of payments provided for in the contract to sell might constitute a
significant financing component. In case of the presence of significant financing component, the
guidance should have been applied retrospectively and would have resulted in restatement of
prior year consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2023, the Group assessed that the adoption of this guidance would have
impacted interest income, interest expense, revenue from real estate sales, installment contracts
receivable, provision for deferred income tax, deferred tax asset or liability for all years
presented, and the opening balance of retained earnings. These would have impacted the cash
flows from operations and cash flows from financing activities for all years presented. The Group
is finalizing the quantitative impact of the adoption of PIC Q&A No. 2018-12.
Revenue Recognition
The disclosures of significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue
from contracts with customers are provided in Note 21.
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Real estate sales - Philippines Operations - Performance obligation is satisfied over time
The Group derives its real estate revenue from sale of lots, house and lot and condominium units.
Revenue from the sale of these real estate projects under pre-completion stage are recognized over
time during the construction period (or percentage of completion) since based on the terms and
conditions of its contract with the buyers, the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an
alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
In measuring the progress of its performance obligation over time, the Group uses input method.
Input method recognizes revenue on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a
performance obligation. Progress is measured based on actual resources consumed such as materials,
labor hours expended and actual overhead incurred relative to the total expected inputs to the
satisfaction of that performance obligation, or the total estimated development costs of the real estate
project. The Group uses the cost accumulated by the accounting department to determine the actual
resources used. Input method excludes the effects of any inputs that do not depict the entity’s
performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer.
Estimated development costs of the real estate project include costs of land, land development,
building costs, professional fees, payments for permits and licenses. Revisions in estimated
development costs brought about by increases in projected costs in excess of the original budgeted
amounts, form part of total project costs on a prospective basis.
202 *SGVFS187718*
Any excess of collections over the total of recognized trade receivables and installment contract
receivables is included in the “contract liabilities” account in the liabilities section of the consolidated
statement of financial position.
The impact of the significant financing component on the transaction price has not been considered
since the Group availed the relief granted by the SEC under Memorandum Circular Nos. 14-2018 as
of 2018 for the implementation issues of PFRS 15 affecting the real estate industry. Under the SEC
Memorandum Circular No. 34, the relief has been extended until December 31, 2023 (see Note 3).
Real estate sales - Philippines Operations - Performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time
The Group also derives real estate revenue from sale of parcels of raw land and developed land.
Revenue from the sale of these parcels of raw land are recognized at a point in time (i.e. upon transfer
of control to the buyer) since based on the terms and conditions of its contract with the buyers, the
Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use but the Group does not have an
enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The Group is only entitled to
payment upon delivery of the land to the buyer and if the contract is terminated, the Group has to
return all payments made by the buyer.
Rental income
The Group leases its commercial real estate properties to others through operating leases. Rental
income on leased properties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and may include
contingent rents based on a certain percentage of the gross revenue of the tenants, as provided under
the terms of the lease contract. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which
they are earned.
Rental income is not recognized when the Group waives its right to collect rent and other charges
under a lease concession. This is recognized as a rent concession and reported as a variable payment
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (see Note 21).
Interest income
Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Other income
Other income is recognized when earned.
203 *SGVFS187718*
The contract for the commercial spaces leased out by the Group to its tenants includes the right to
charge for the electricity usage, water usage, air-conditioning charges and Common Usage Service
Area (CUSA) like maintenance, janitorial and security services.
For the electricity and water usage, the Group determined that it is acting as an agent for the benefit
of the lessees because the promise of the Group to the lessees is to arrange for the electricity and
water supply to be provided by a utility company. The utility and service companies, and not the
Group, are primarily responsible for the provisioning of the utilities while the Group administers the
leased spaces and coordinates with the utility and service companies to ensure that lessees have
access to these utilities.
For the provision of CUSA and air-conditioning of the buildings, the existing lease contracts
establishes the Group to act as a principal because it retains the right to direct the service provider of
maintenance, janitorial and security to the leased premises, and air-conditioning, respectively. The
right to the services mentioned never transfers to the lessees and the Group has the discretion to add a
minimal fee to the CUSA and air-conditioning charges.
Cost Recognition
These costs are allocated to the saleable area, with the portion allocable to the sold area being
recognized as costs of sales while the portion allocable to the unsold area being recognized as part of
real estate inventories.
Contract costs include all direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
performance. Expected losses on contracts are recognized immediately when it is probable that the
total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue. Changes in contract performance, contract
conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions,
warranties, contingencies, cost constructions, and final contract settlements which may result in
revisions to estimated costs and gross margins are recognized in the year in which the changes are
determined.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group
has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer
pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is
recognized when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract
liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
The contract liabilities also include payments received by the Group from the customers for which
revenue recognition has not yet commenced.
204 *SGVFS187718*
earned. Commission expense is included in the “Cost of real estate sales” account in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.
Costs incurred prior to obtaining contract with customer are not capitalized but are expensed as
incurred.
Cost of hotel operations (part of cost of real estate sales in the consolidated statement of income)
Cost of hotel operations pertains to expenses incurred in relation to sale of goods and rendering of
services. These are recognized when a decrease in future economic benefits related to a decrease in
an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen than can be measured reliably. These are recognized
when incurred and measured at the amount paid or payable.
If other standards are not applicable to contract fulfillment costs, the Group applies the following
criteria which, if met, result in capitalization: (i) the costs directly relate to a contract or to a
specifically identifiable anticipated contract; (ii) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity
that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and
(iii) the costs are expected to be recovered. The assessment of this criteria requires the application of
judgment, in particular when considering if costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy
future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recoverable.
The Group’s contract fulfillment assets pertain to connection fees and land acquisition costs.
A capitalized cost to obtain a contract is derecognized either when it is disposed of or when no further
economic benefits are expected to flow from its use or disposal.
At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is an indication that cost to obtain a
contract maybe impaired. If such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate by comparing the
carrying amount of the assets to the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to
receive less the costs that relate to providing services under the relevant contract. In determining the
estimated amount of consideration, the Group uses the same principles as it does to determine the
contract transaction price, except that any constraints used to reduce the transaction price will be
removed for the impairment test.
Where the relevant costs or specific performance obligations are demonstrating marginal profitability
or other indicators of impairment, judgment is required in ascertaining whether or not the future
economic benefits from these contracts are sufficient to recover these assets. In performing this
impairment assessment, management is required to make an assessment of the costs to complete the
contract. The ability to accurately forecast such costs involves estimates around cost savings to be
achieved over time, anticipated profitability of the contract, as well as future performance against any
contract-specific performance indicators that could trigger variable consideration, or service credits.
Where a contract is anticipated to make a loss, these judgments are also relevant in determining
whether or not an onerous contract provision is required and how this is to be measured.
205 *SGVFS187718*
Costs and general and administrative expenses are recognized in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income when decrease in future economic benefit related to a decrease in an asset or
an increase in a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably.
Costs and expenses are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income:
On the basis of a direct association between the costs incurred and the earning of specific items of
income;
On the basis of systematic and rational allocation procedures when economic benefits are
expected to arise over several accounting periods and the association can only be broadly or
indirectly determined; or
Immediately when expenditure produces no future economic benefits or when, and to the extent
that, future economic benefits do not qualify or cease to qualify, for recognition in the
consolidated statement of financial position as an asset.
Direct operating expenses and general and administrative expenses are recognized as they are
incurred.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized
as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they
occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the
borrowing of funds.
Interest and other financing costs incurred during the construction period on borrowings used to
finance property development are capitalized as part of development costs (included in “Subdivision
land, condominium and residential units for sale”, “Property and equipment” and “Investment
properties” accounts in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position). Capitalization of
borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures
and borrowing costs are being incurred. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when substantially
all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete. If the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.
Capitalized borrowing cost is based on applicable weighted average borrowing rate for those coming
from general borrowings.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur and is recorded under “Interest
expense.”
Leases
The Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease, at the inception of a contract. This
assessment involves the exercise of judgment about whether it depends on a specified asset, whether
the Group obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset, whether the Group
has the right to direct the use of the asset.
Group as Lessee
Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group recognizes a right-of-use
(ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the
lessee.
206 *SGVFS187718*
ROU assets
The Group recognizes ROU assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). ROU assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost
of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, lease
payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, and any
estimated costs to be incurred in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on
which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and
conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. Unless the Group is
reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized
ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the
remaining lease term of up to approximately 33 years.
ROU assets are subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in impairment of nonfinancial
assets section.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments
(including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments
that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be
exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflected
the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an
index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers
the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at
the commencement date if the interest rate implicit to the lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and
reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is
remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed
lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of office space
(i.e., those leases that have a lease term of twelve (12) months or less from the commencement date
and do not contain a purchase option). Lease payments on short-term leases are recognized as
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as Lessor
Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the
assets are classified as operating leases. Lease payments received are recognized as income in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial
direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased
asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are
recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
The Group accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of
the modification considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as
part of the lease payments for the new lease.
There are no lease contracts where the Group transfers substantially all the risk and benefits of
ownership of the assets that are leased.
207 *SGVFS187718*
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either:
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
208 *SGVFS187718*
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value on a
recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy
by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as investment properties.
Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by the Group. Selection criteria include
market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained.
The Group, in conjunction with the external valuers, also compares each of the changes in the fair
value of each asset with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained
above.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

Financial Instruments
Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost,
FVOCI, and fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual
cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of
trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has
applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in
the case of a financial asset not at FVPL, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a
significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are
measured at the transaction price determined under PFRS 15. Refer to the accounting policies in
section “Revenue from contracts with customers”.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, it needs to
give rise to cash flows that are “solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)” on the principal
amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument
level.
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial
assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result
from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e.,
the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
SPPI on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the EIR method and are subject to
impairment. Interest income and impairment losses on reversals are recognized in the consolidated
statement of income. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized,
modified or impaired.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s financial assets at amortized cost include cash and
cash equivalents, receivables (except for receivables from lease-to-own arrangements), restricted cash
210 *SGVFS187718*
under “Other current assets” and refundable utility deposits under “Other current and noncurrent
assets”.
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect
contractual cash flows and selling; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
SPPI on the principal amount outstanding
For debt instruments at FVOCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses
or reversals are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and computed in
the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes
are recognized in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognized in OCI is
recycled to profit or loss.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s debt instruments at FVOCI include receivables from
lease-to-own arrangements under “Receivables”.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are
recognized as other income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the right of
payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of
part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity
instruments designated at FVOCI are not subject to impairment assessment.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s equity instruments at FVOCI presented under
“Other noncurrent assets” include investment in equity instruments of affiliates under the common
control of the ultimate parent company.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group does not have financial assets at FVPL.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar
financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the consolidated statement of financial
position) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the
risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
‘pass-through’ arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of
ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of
the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to
211 *SGVFS187718*
the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated
liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the
rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at
the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that
the Group could be required to repay.
When the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are renegotiated or otherwise modified and the
renegotiation or modification does not result in the derecognition of that financial asset, the Group
recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset as the present value of the renegotiated or
modified contractual cash flows discounted at the original EIR (or credit-adjusted EIR for purchased
or originated credit-impaired financial assets) and recognizes a modification gain or loss in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from
default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit
exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss
allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective
of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the
Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime
ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix for rental and accrued
rent receivables and receivables from hotel operations and a vintage analysis for installment contract
receivables that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors
specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
For cash and cash equivalents, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. The investments
are considered to be low credit risk investments as the counterparties have investment grade ratings.
It is the Group’s policy to measure ECLs on such instruments on a 12-month basis based on available
probabilities of defaults and loss given defaults. The Group uses the ratings published by a reputable
rating agency to determine if the counterparty has investment grade rating. If there are no available
ratings, the Group determines the ratings by reference to a comparable bank.
For other financial assets such as receivables from affiliated companies and utility deposits, ECLs are
recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events
that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition a loss allowance is required
212 *SGVFS187718*
for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the
default (a lifetime ECL).
The Group considers a debt investment security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is
equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade’.
The key inputs in the model include the Group’s definition of default and historical data of three
years for the origination, maturity date and default date.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due.
However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when
internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding
contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group.
An exposure will migrate through the ECL stages as asset quality deteriorates. If, in a subsequent
period, asset quality improves and also reverses any previously assessed significant increase in credit
risk since origination, then the loss allowance measurement reverts from lifetime ECL to 12-months
ECL.
Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVPL, loans and
borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as
appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings
and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Directly attributable transaction costs are documentary stamp tax, underwriting and selling fees,
regulatory filing fee and other fees.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
213 *SGVFS187718*
Financial liabilities at FVPL
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees
or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s financial liabilities under this category include
accounts payable and accrued expenses (except statutory liabilities), short-term loans, loans payable,
and payable to affiliated companies and deposits from lessees which are both included under “Deposit
and other current liabilities” and “Deposit and other noncurrent liabilities”.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled
or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of
a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.
Cost includes land costs, costs incurred for development and improvement of the properties
(i.e., planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, contractor’s fees and other professional fees,
property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs). It also includes the cost of
land use right (see Note 9).
Inventories that are leased out at market rates to earn revenues to partly cover for expenses on the
condition that the intent to sell in the ordinary course of business has not changed are accounted and
presented as inventory. The rent income from inventories that are leased out is included in other
income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less cost of completion and
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
214 *SGVFS187718*
With the exception of commission from residential sales, which is amortized using the percentage of
completion, other prepaid expenses are amortized over the period of coverage.
Deposits
Deposits from lessees
Deposits from lessees are measured initially at fair value. After initial recognition, customers’
deposits are subsequently measured at amortized cost using EIR method.
The difference between the cash received and its fair value is deferred (included in the “Deposits and
other liabilities” in the consolidated statement of financial position) and amortized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
Non-refundable deposits that are applicable against costs of services incurred or goods delivered are
measured at fair value.
When VAT from sales of goods and/or services (output VAT) exceeds VAT passed on from
purchases of goods or services (input VAT), the excess is recognized as payable in the consolidated
statement of financial position. When VAT passed on from purchases of goods or services
(input VAT) exceeds VAT from sales of goods and/or services (output VAT), the excess is
recognized as an asset in the consolidated statement of financial position to the extent of the
recoverable amount.
The net amount of VAT recoverable from the taxation authority is included as part of “Other current
assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position.
An investment is accounted for using the equity method from the day it becomes a joint venture. On
acquisition of investment, the excess of the cost of investment over the investor’s share in the net fair
value of the investee’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is accounted for as
goodwill and included in the carrying amount of the investment and not amortized. Any excess of the
investor’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment, and
instead included in the determination of the share in the earnings of the investees.
Under the equity method, the investments in the investee companies are carried in the consolidated
statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share in the net
assets of the investee companies, less any impairment in values. The consolidated statement of
comprehensive income reflects the share of the results of the operations of the investee companies.
The Group’s share of post-acquisition movements in the investee’s equity reserves is recognized
directly in equity. Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the investee
215 *SGVFS187718*
companies are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the investee companies and for unrealized
losses to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the asset transferred. Dividends
received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the investment.
The Group discontinues applying the equity method when their investments in investee companies
are reduced to zero. Accordingly, additional losses are not recognized unless the Group has
guaranteed certain obligations of the investee companies. When the investee companies subsequently
report net income, the Group will resume applying the equity method but only after its share of that
net income equals the share of net losses of the investee companies not recognized during the period
the equity method was suspended.
The reporting dates of the investee companies and the Group are identical and the investee
companies’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events
in similar circumstances.
Upon loss of significant influence over the investee companies, the Group measures and recognizes
any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the investee
companies upon loss of significant influence, and the fair value of the retaining investment and
proceeds from disposal is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Likewise, a gain or a loss on dilution is recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the
Group does not participate in capital infusion and effectively foregoes its pre-emptive right and loses
significant influence over the investee companies.
The financial statements of the joint operation are prepared for the same reporting period as the
Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of
the Group.
Investment Properties
Investment properties - Land, Land Improvements, Buildings and Improvements and Construction in
Progress
Investment properties consist of properties that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or
both, and that are not occupied by the companies consolidated into the Group. Investment properties,
except for land, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Land
is carried at cost less any impairment in value. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing
part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are
met and excludes the cost of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.
Investment properties are depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives (EUL) as follows:
Years
Buildings 20 - 40
Building improvements 10
Land improvements 10
216 *SGVFS187718*
The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period and
method of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of
investment properties.
Construction-in-progress (CIP) is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction and other direct
costs. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the construction of investment properties are
capitalized during the construction period. CIP is not depreciated until such time as the relevant
assets are in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management.
Expenditures incurred after the investment property has been put in operation, such as repairs and
maintenance costs, are normally charged against income in the period in which the costs are incurred.
Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected
from its disposal. Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is
recognized in the profit and loss in the period of retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced
by the end of owner occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party. Transfers are
made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by
commencement of owner occupation or commencement of development with a view to sell.
Transfers between investment properties, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the
carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of the property for
measurement or disclosure purposes.
217 *SGVFS187718*
Expenditures incurred after the fixed assets have been put into operation, such as repairs and
maintenance, are normally charged to expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred.
In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in
the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and
equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as
an additional cost of property and equipment.
Depreciation commences once the assets are available for use and is calculated on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life of over the EUL as follow:
Years
Buildings 20-40
Building improvements 10
Land improvements 5
Theater furniture and equipment 5
IT Equipment 3
Other equipment 2.5
Assets under construction are transferred to a specific category of property and equipment when the
construction and other related activities necessary to prepare the property and equipment for their
intended use are completed and the property and equipment are available for service.
Other equipment includes china, glassware, silver and linen on stock used in hotel operations.
The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial
year-end to ensure that the period and method of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern
of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset)
is included in profit and loss in the period the asset is derecognized.
Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication
exists, the Group makes an estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss
is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable
218 *SGVFS187718*
amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the
asset is increased to the recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been
recognized for the assets in prior periods, such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income. The following criteria are also applied in assessing the impairment of
specific assets.
Equity
Capital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. When the Group issues more than one
capital stock, a separate account is maintained for each class of stock and the number of shares
issued.
When the shares are sold at premium, the difference between the proceeds at the par value is credited
to “Additional paid-in capital” account. Direct costs incurred related to equity issuance are
chargeable to “Additional paid-in capital” account. If additional paid-in capital is not sufficient, the
excess is charged against retained earnings.
Retained earnings represent accumulated earnings of the Group less dividends declared. The
individual accumulated retained earnings of the subsidiaries are available for dividend distribution
when they are declared by the subsidiaries as approved by their respective BOD. The amount of
retained earnings to the extent of the cost of treasury shares are not available for dividend declaration.
Treasury Stock
Own equity instruments which are acquired (treasury stock) are recognized at cost and deducted from
equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the profit and loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation
of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and
the consideration, if reissued, is recognized in additional paid-in capital. Voting rights related to
treasury shares are nullified for the Group and no dividends are allocated to them respectively. When
the shares are retired, the capital stock account is reduced by its par value and the excess of cost over
par value upon retirement is debited to additional paid-in capital when the shares were issued and to
retained earnings for the remaining balance.
Equity Reserves
Equity reserve pertains to the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying value of the
non-controlling interest acquired. Upon disposal of the related investment, the other equity reserve is
transferred to retained earnings.
Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are
accounted for as equity transactions (i.e., transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). In
such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests shall be
adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the
amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration
paid shall be recognized directly in equity and included under “Equity reserves” account in the equity
sections of the consolidated financial statements.
219 *SGVFS187718*
On sale and disposal of properties involving entities under common control, any difference between
consideration received and costs shall be recognized directly in equity and included under “Equity
reserves” account in the equity section of consolidated of financial position. The related impact to the
non controlling interest is also considered.
Income Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the
countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
When the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset
or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates
and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences
can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward
of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:
When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent
that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable
profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or
part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at
each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
income will allow all as part of the deferred tax and to be recovered. The Group does not recognize
deferred income tax assets that will reverse during the income tax holiday (ITH).
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in
the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have
been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date (see Note 27).
Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or
loss. Deferred income tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in
OCI or directly in equity.
220 *SGVFS187718*
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the
same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Pension Expense
The Group has a noncontributory defined benefit plan. The net defined benefit liability or asset is the
aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit liability at the end of the reporting period
reduced by the fair value of plan assets (if any), adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined
benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits
available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method.
Service costs
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset
Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-
routine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized
when plan amendment or curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically by
independent qualified actuary.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net
defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by applying
the discount rate based on government bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Net interest
on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in profit or loss.
221 *SGVFS187718*
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the
effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized
immediately in OCI in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit
or loss in subsequent periods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance
policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to
the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market price is
available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a
discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected
disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of
the related liabilities). If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the present value of the
defined benefit liability, the measurement of the resulting defined benefit asset is limited to the
present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in
future contributions to the plan.
The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined
benefit liability is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement is
virtually certain.
Termination benefit
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of an
employee’s employment as a result of either an entity’s decision to terminate an employee’s
employment before the normal retirement date or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of
benefits in exchange for the termination of employment.
A liability and expense for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no
longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the entity recognizes related restructuring costs.
Initial recognition and subsequent changes to termination benefits are measured in accordance with
the nature of the employee benefit, as either post-employment benefits, short-term employee benefits,
or other long-term employee benefits.
222 *SGVFS187718*
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is
computed by dividing net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company by the
weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period after giving
effect to assumed conversion of potential common shares. Calculation of dilutive EPS considers the
potential ordinary shares of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures that have dilutive effect on the
basic EPS of the Parent Company. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume
conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential common shares that would have an antidilutive effect
on earnings per share.
Operating Segment
The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of
the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that
offers different products and services and serves different markets. Financial information on business
segments is presented in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate
asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks
specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognized as an interest expense. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted
to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed
unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent
assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of
economic benefits is probable. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, the
related asset is not a contingent asset and will be recognized.
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with PFRSs, as
modified by the application of the financial reporting reliefs issued and approved by the SEC in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The
estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based
upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements. Future events may occur which will cause the assumptions used in arriving at
the estimates to change. The effects of any change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements, as they become reasonably determinable. Actual results could
differ from such estimates.
223 *SGVFS187718*
Judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the
amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Existence of a contract
The Group’s primary document for a contract with a customer is a signed contract to sell. It has
determined, however, that in cases wherein contract to sell are not signed by both parties, the
combination of its other duly executed and signed documentation such as reservation agreement,
official receipts, buyers’ computation sheets and invoices, would contain all the criteria to qualify as
contract with the customer under PFRS 15.
In addition, part of the assessment process of the Group before revenue recognition is to assess the
probability that the Group will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for
the real estate property that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectability
of an amount of consideration is probable, an entity considers the significance of the customer’s
initial payments in relation to the total contract price. Collectability is also assessed by considering
factors such as past history with the customer, age and pricing of the property. Management regularly
evaluates the historical cancellations and back-outs if it would still support its current threshold of
customers’ equity before commencing revenue recognition.
224 *SGVFS187718*
The Group has determined that input method used in measuring the progress of the performance
obligation faithfully depicts the Group’s performance in transferring control of real estate
development to the customers.
For the electricity and water usage, the Group determined that it is acting as an agent for the benefit
of the lessees because the promise of the Group to the lessees is to arrange for the electricity and
water supply to be provided by utility companies. The utility and service companies, and not the
Group, are primarily responsible for the provisioning of the utilities while the Group administers for a
minimal fee, the leased spaces and coordinates with the utility and service companies to ensure that
lessees have access to these utilities.
For the provision of CUSA and air-conditioning of the buildings, the existing lease contract
establishes the Group to act as a principal because it retains the right to direct the service provider of
maintenance, janitorial and security to the leased premises, and air-conditioning, respectively. The
right to the services mentioned never transfers to the lessees and the Group has the discretion to add a
nominal fee to the CUSA and air-conditioning charges.
The 2022 and 2021 revenues from the sale of real estate units of Chengdu Xin Yao is accounted for
under the completed contract method (i.e., at a point in time) in the consolidated financial statements.
It is a recognition method that allows that revenue is recognized at the completion of the project.
Under PFRS 15, revenue from property sales is generally recognized when the property is accepted
by the customer, or deemed as accepted according to the contract, whichever is earlier, which is the
point in time when the customer has the ability to direct the use of the property and obtain
substantially all of the remaining benefits of the property.
Quantitative criteria - for installment contract receivables, the customer receives a notice of
cancellation and does not continue the payments.
Qualitative criteria - the customer meets ‘unlikeliness to pay’ criteria, which indicates the customer is
in significant financial difficulty. These are instances where:
225 *SGVFS187718*
a. The customer is experiencing financial difficulty or is insolvent
b. The customer is in breach of financial covenant(s)
c. An active market for that financial asset has disappeared because of financial difficulties
d. Concessions have been granted by the Group, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the
customer’s financial difficulty
e. It is becoming probable that the customer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization
The criteria above have been applied to the financial instruments held by the Group and are consistent
with the definition of default used for internal credit risk management purposes. The default
definition has been applied consistently to model the Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default
(LGD) and Exposure at Default (EAD) throughout the Group’s expected loss calculation.
To do this, the Group considers a range of relevant forward-looking macro-economic assumptions for
the determination of unbiased general industry adjustments and any related specific industry
adjustments that support the calculation of ECLs. Based on the Group’s evaluation and assessment
and after taking into consideration external actual and forecast information, the Group formulates a
‘base case’ view of the future direction of relevant economic variables as well as a representative
range of other possible forecast scenarios. This process involves developing two or more additional
economic scenarios and considering the relative probabilities of each outcome. External information
includes economic data and forecasts published by governmental bodies, monetary authorities and
selected private-sector and academic institutions.
The base case represents a most-likely outcome and is aligned with information used by the Group for
other purposes such as strategic planning and budgeting. The other scenarios represent more
optimistic and more pessimistic outcomes. Periodically, the Group carries out stress testing of more
extreme shocks to calibrate its determination of these other representative scenarios.
The Group has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses of each portfolio
of financial instruments and, using an analysis of historical data, has estimated relationships between
macro-economic variables and credit risk and credit losses.
Joint Control
The Parent Company entered into various joint ventures with Shang Properties, Inc., Hong Kong
Land Group, DMCI Project Developers, Inc. and Double Dragon Properties Corp., Tyme Global
Limited, Robinsons Bank Corporation and Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. The Parent Company
considers that it has joint control over these arrangements since decisions about the relevant activities
of the joint ventures require unanimous consent of the parties as provided for in the joint venture
agreements and shareholders’ agreements.
Determining whether it is reasonably certain that a renewal and termination option will be
exercised – Group as a lessee
The Group has several lease contracts that include renewal and termination options. The Group
applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew or
terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to
exercise the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease
term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its
ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew or terminate (e.g., a change in business
strategy).
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any
226 *SGVFS187718*
periods covered by an option to renew the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any
periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group did not include the option to renew nor the option to terminate the lease in the lease term
as the Group assessed that it is not reasonably certain that these options will be exercised.
227 *SGVFS187718*
income together with future tax planning. Deferred tax assets recognized as of December 31, 2023
and 2022 amounted to =P1,073 million and =P977 million, respectively (see Note 27).
Contingencies
The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The
estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation
with the internal and external counsel handling the defense on these matters and is based upon an
analysis and judgment of potential results by the management. The Group currently does not believe
these proceedings will have a material effect on the Group’s financial position. It is possible, that
future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the judgment or in the
effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings (see Note 34).
Judgments made in determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax
credits and tax rates applying paragraph 122 of PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
Upon adoption of the Interpretation, the Group has assessed whether it has any uncertain tax position.
The Group applies significant judgment in identifying uncertainties over its income tax treatments.
The Group determined, based on its assessment, in consultation with its tax counsel, that it is
probable that its uncertain income tax treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be
accepted by the taxation authorities.
The Group also recognized revenue when control is passed on a certain point in time. The Group’s
revenue and cost of real estate sales were recognized upon transfer of control to the buyer. Real
estate sales pertaining to this transaction amounted to =
P1,111 million, =
P13,377 million and
=13,815 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related
P
cost of sales amounted to P =345 million, =P10,495 million and =
P10,795 million for the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
228 *SGVFS187718*
Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables other than installment
contract receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various
customer segments that have similar loss patterns.
The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group
will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking
information such as inflation and dollar index rates. At every reporting date, the historical observed
default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.
The Group uses vintage analysis approach to calculate ECLs for installment contract receivables.
The vintage analysis accounts for expected losses by calculating the cumulative loss rates of a given
loan pool. It derives the probability of default from the historical data of a homogenous portfolio that
share the same origination period. The information on the number of defaults during fixed time
intervals of the accounts is utilized to create the PD model. It allows the evaluation of the loan
activity from its origination period until the end of the contract period.
The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic
conditions (inflation and interest rates) and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is
sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group’s historical
credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of
customer’s actual default in the future.
The carrying value of trade receivables as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to
=20,958 million and =
P P17,426 million, respectively (see Note 8). The carrying value of installment
contract receivables as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to P =15,892 million and
=11,536 million, respectively (see Note 8).
P
229 *SGVFS187718*
Evaluation of net realizable value of real estate inventories
The Group adjusts the cost of its real estate inventories to net realizable value based on its assessment
of the recoverability of the inventories. NRV for completed real estate inventories is assessed with
reference to market conditions and prices existing at the reporting date and is determined by the
Group in light of recent market transactions. NRV in respect of real estate inventories under
construction is assessed with reference to market prices at the reporting date for similar completed
property, less estimated costs to complete construction and less estimated costs to sell. The amount
and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different judgments were made or
different estimates were utilized.
The Group experienced limited selling activities that resulted to lower sales in 2023 and 2022. In
evaluating NRV, recent market conditions and current market prices have been considered
(see Note 9).
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s subdivision land, condominium and residential units
for sale amounted to P
=35,685 million and =
P32,512 million, respectively (see Note 9).
Estimation of useful lives of property and equipment and investment properties
The Group estimates the useful lives of its depreciable property and equipment and investment
properties based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The EUL of
the said depreciable assets are reviewed at least annually and are updated if expectations differ from
previous estimates due to physical wear and tear and technical or commercial obsolescence on the use
of these assets. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes
in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the EUL
of the depreciable property and equipment and investment properties would increase depreciation
expense and decrease noncurrent assets.
The carrying value of depreciable property and equipment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022
amounted to =P13,175 million and =P8,831 million, respectively (see Note 12). The carrying value of
depreciable investment properties as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to P =61,078 million
and P
=62,513 million, respectively (see Note 11).
Impairment of nonfinancial assets
The Group assesses impairment on its nonfinancial assets (i.e., investment properties, property and
equipment, right-of-use assets, other noncurrent assets and investment in joint ventures) and considers
the following important indicators:
230 *SGVFS187718*
In 2022, in view of the improving economy that was severely impacted by the pandemic and the
government’s easing travel and mobility restrictions (both domestic and international), the Group’s
hotels and resorts segment has registered positive growth in its revenues in 2022. The hotel and
resorts properties continue to post significant improvements in revenues and net income from higher
occupancies due to easing of health and travel restrictions, surging leisure demand and increased
guests spending. In addition, many restaurants and food outlets have reopened and operated,
improving the food and beverage revenues of the segment. With a better economic outlook and
market forecast, the segment is expected to continue its recovery. Accordingly, there are no
impairment indicators in 2022 requiring the assessment of the recoverable amount of the property and
equipment and right of use assets as of December 31, 2022.
In 2021, the Group’s hotels and resorts segment were adversely affected by the lower number of
guests and reduced room rates, both of which have significantly impacted the revenues reported for
this segment. Also, many restaurants remain closed or allowed limited operations which impacted the
food and beverage revenues of the segment. Accordingly, the Group estimated the recoverable
amount through value in use. In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows
expected to be generated from the continued use of these assets of the hotels and resorts segment, the
Group was required to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the nonfinancial assets. The
significant assumptions used in the valuation were discount rates of 9.7% with an average growth rate
of 3.0%. The Group also considered in its assumptions the impact of the pandemic on the occupancy
rate, room rates and gross margin which were then not expected to normalize until 2024. No
impairment loss was recognized in 2021.
The carrying values of the Group’s nonfinancial assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are
disclosed below.

Pension cost
The determination of the obligation and cost of pension benefits is dependent on the selection of
certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others,
discount rates and salary increase rates (see Note 30). The cost of defined benefit pension plan and
the present value of the pension liabilities are determined using actuarial valuations. Due to the
complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, defined benefit
liabilities are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each
reporting date.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of government
bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, with extrapolated
maturities corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit liability. Future salary
increases are based on expected future inflation rates and other relevant factors. The present value of
the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using
interest rates of Philippine government bonds with terms consistent with the expected employee
benefit payout as of reporting date.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s net pension liabilities amounted to P
=752 million and
=556 million, respectively (see Note 30).

231 *SGVFS187718*
Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate
The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its
incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the
Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic
environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires
estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into
financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the
lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency). The Group estimates
the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to
make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit rating).
6. Operating Segments
Business Segments
The business segment is determined as the primary segment reporting format as the Group’s risks and
rates of return are affected predominantly by each operating segment.
Management monitors the operating results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of
making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Group financing (including
interest income and interest expense) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not
allocated to operating segments. The Group evaluates performance based on earnings before interest,
income tax, depreciation and other income (losses) (EBITDA).
The financial information on the operations of these business segments as shown below are based on
the measurement principles that are similar with those used in measuring the assets, liabilities, income
and expenses in the consolidated financial statements which is in accordance with PFRSs except for
EBITDA.
The Group derives its revenue from the following reportable units:
Robinsons Malls - develops, leases and manages lifestyle centers all over the Philippines.
Residential Division - develops and sells residential condominium units, as well as horizontal
residential projects in the Philippines.
Robinsons Offices - develops and leases out office spaces.
Robinsons Hotels and Resorts - owns and operates a chain of hotels in various locations in the
Philippines.
232 *SGVFS187718*
Robinsons Logistics and Industrial Facilities - develops and leases out warehouse and logistics
facilities.
Robinsons Destination Estates - focuses on strategic land bank acquisition and management,
exploration of real estate-related infrastructure projects.
Chengdu Xin Yao (CDXY) - develops and sells real estate projects in China.

The fair values of the land held for future development were measured through market data approach
which provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset with an identical or similar
assets for which price information is available. This approach was used for the land as it is
commonly used in the property market since inputs and data for this approach are available.
The fair values of the buildings (retail, office and warehouses) were measured through income
approach using the discounted cash flow analysis. This approach converts anticipated future gains to
present worth by projecting reasonable income and expenses for the subject property.
The construction in progress were measured at cost until such time the fair value becomes reliably
measurable or construction is completed (whichever comes earlier).

In 2021, the Group performed impairment testing on its hotel property and equipment assets with a
carrying value of P
=5,274 million as of December 31, 2021 by assessing the recoverable amount of
cash-generating units based on a value in use (VIU) calculation using cash flow projections from
financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The projected cash
flows have been updated to reflect the demand for products and services, taking into consideration the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The significant assumptions used in the valuation were pre-tax discount rate of 9.73% and average
growth rate of 5.20% for cash flows beyond five years. Based on the impairment testing, there was
no impairment loss on the Group’s hotel property and equipment assets in 2021 (see Note 5).
The calculation of value in use of the CGUs is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
EBITDA margins
Discount rate
Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period
246 *SGVFS187718*
EBITDA Margins
EBITDA margins are based on average values achieved in one (1) to five (5) years preceding the
beginning of the budget period. These are increased over the budget period for anticipated efficiency
improvements. A 32.82% to 60.20% EBITDA margin per annum was applied. A decreased demand
can lead to a decline in gross margin.
Discount Rates
Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into
consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been
incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific
circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is derived from its weighted average cost
of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is
derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based
on the interest-bearing borrowings the Group is obliged to service. Segment-specific risk is
incorporated by applying individual beta factors. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on
publicly available market data. Adjustments to the discount rate are made to factor in the specific
amount and timing of the future tax flows in order to reflect a pre-tax discount rate.

On August 20, 2021, the Parent Company sold its investment in RCR by way of public offering at a
selling price of =
P6.45 per share, with a total selling price amounting to =
P22.6 billion, net of
transaction costs amounting to =P737.32 million. As a result of the sale, the equity interest of the
Parent Company over RCR changed from 100% to 63.49%. The Group assessed that the change in

transaction. No gain or loss was recognized upon consolidation, and any difference in the proceeds
from sale of shares to the public and the amount to be recorded as NCI is recorded as ‘Equity Reserve
in the consolidated financial statements.

RCR from 63.49% to 66.14%. The impact on the Equity Reserve amounted to = P1,482 million.
Capital Management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital
ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Group manages its
capital structure and make adjustments to these ratios in light of changes in economic conditions and
the risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group
may adjust the amount of dividend payment to shareholders, return capital structure or issue capital
securities. No changes have been made in the objective, policies and processes as they have been
applied in previous years.
258 *SGVFS187718*
The Group monitors its use of capital structure using a debt-to-capital ratio which is gross debt
divided by total equity. The Group includes within gross debt all interest-bearing loans and
borrowings, while capital represents total equity attributable to the equity holders of the Parent
Company. Following is a computation of the Group’s debt-to-capital ratio as of December 31, 2023

In 2021, the development of this property was completed and all commitments and obligations of
the Parent Company to RHK Land were fulfilled. Accordingly, the amounts that are previously
under contract liabilities were recognized as real estate revenue in 2021. Out of the amount of
selling price and cost of land, =
P1,082 million and = P724 million were recognized in real estate
sales and cost of real estate sales, respectively. These amounts represent the portion sold to Hong
Kong Land Group by virtue of its 40% ownership in RHK. The 60% balance will be recognized
as RHK starts to sell developed real estate properties to its customers. In 2023 and 2022, the
Parent Company realized P =113.3 million and = P37.2 million from this deferred gain, respectively.
261 *SGVFS187718*
In 2023 and 2022, the Parent Company realized =

=1,519 million and =
P P422 million were recognized in real estate sales and cost of real estate sales,
respectively in 2021. These amounts represent the portion sold to SPI by virtue of its 50%
ownership in SRPI. The remaining 50% will be recognized as SRPI starts to sell developed real
estate properties to its customers. As development and construction are ongoing, the Parent
Company has not realized income from this deferred gain for the years 2023, 2022 and 2021.
There are no other arrangements between the Group and any of its directors and key officers
providing for benefits upon termination of employment, except for such benefits to which they may

aggregate over a twelve (12)–month period with the same related party, amounting to ten percent
(10%) or higher of the Group’s total consolidated assets based on its latest audited financial
statements.
All individual MRPTs shall be approved by at least two-thirds (2/3) vote of the BOD, with at least a
majority of the Independent Directors voting to approve the MRPT. In case that a majority of the
Independent Directors’ vote is not secured, the MRPT may be ratified by the vote of the stockholders
representing at least two thirds (2/3) of the outstanding capital stock.
262 *SGVFS187718*
Aggregate RPT transactions within a 12-month period that meets or breaches the materiality
threshold shall require the Board approval.
21. Revenue
The Group derives revenue from the transfer of goods and services over time and at a point in time,
respectively, in different product types. The Group’s disaggregation of each source of revenue from
contracts with customers are presented below:
Performance obligations
Information about the Group’s performance obligations are summarized below:
The sale of real estate unit may cover either the (i) commercial lot; (ii) serviced lot; (iii) serviced lot
and house; and (iv) condominium unit. The Group concluded that there is one performance
obligation in each of these contracts. The Group recognizes revenue from the sale of these real estate
projects under pre-completed contract over time during the course of the construction.
On real estate sales from Chengdu Xin Yao for the years 2022 and 2021, the revenue is recognized
under the completed contract method. Under this method, all revenue and costs associated with the
sale of the real estate inventories are recognized at a point in time only after the completion of the real
estate projects.
Payment commences upon signing of the contract to sell and the consideration is payable in cash or
under various financing schemes entered with the customer. The amount due for collection under the
amortization schedule for each of the customer does not necessarily coincide with the progress of
construction, which results to either a receivable or contract liability.
After the delivery of the completed real estate unit, the Group provides one-year warranty to repair
minor defects on the delivered serviced lot and house and condominium unit. This is assessed by the
Group as a quality assurance warranty and not treated as a separate performance obligation.
263 *SGVFS187718*
The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations (unsatisfied or partially
satisfied) as at December 31 are as follows:
2023 2022
Within one year P
=2,270,156,063 =2,837,695,079
P
More than one year 2,327,963,225 5,548,129
P
=4,598,119,288 =2,843,243,208
P
The remaining performance obligations expected to be recognized within one year and in more than
one year relate to the continuous development of the Group’s real estate projects. The Group’s
condominium units are completed within three years and five years from start of construction while
serviced lots and serviced lots and house are expected to be completed within two to three years from
start of development.
Residential development
The Group’s real estate sales from residential development are revenue from contracts with customers
recognized over time and at a point in time. Real estate sales include interest income from
installment contract receivables amounting to =P726 million, =
P737 million and = P743 million for the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. These are also recognized over time.
The Group’s revenue from hotels and resorts is attributed to the operations from the development and
management of hotels and resorts. In 2021, the community quarantines and restricted travels
adversely affected the Group’s hotels and resorts segment resulting to lower number of guests and
reduced room rates, both of which have significantly impacted the revenues reported under this
segment. With the significant easing of travel restrictions, resurgence of domestic tourism, and
reopening of international borders, the segment recovered in 2023 and 2022. The segment’s
outstanding financial performance, coupled with its robust presence in the hospitality market,
positions it as a prime investment opportunity and a key player in the Philippines' thriving hotel and
resort landscape
Destination Estates
The real estate revenues includes proceeds arising from the sale of parcels of land that were
recognized at a point in time and these amounted to = P1,091 million, P
=606 million, and =P2,933 million
in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Rental income

Pension Plans
The Group has funded, noncontributory, defined benefit pension plans covering all of its regular
employees.
It provides benefits based on a number of month’s salary for every year of service. Under the existing
regulatory framework, Republic Act 7641, The Retirement Pay Law, requires a provision for
retirement pay to qualified private sector employees in the absence of any retirement plan in the
entity, provided however that the employee’s retirement benefits under any collective bargaining and
other agreements shall not be less than those provided under the law. The law does not require
minimum funding of the plan.
The pension funds are being administered and managed through JG Summit Multi-Employer
Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), with Robinsons Bank Corporation (RBC) as Trustee. The plans
provide for retirement, separation, disability and death benefits to their members. The Group,
however, reserves the right to discontinue, suspend or change the rates and amounts of their
contributions at any time on account of business necessity or adverse economic conditions. The
retirement plan has an Executive Retirement Committee, which is mandated to approve the plan, trust
agreement, investment plan, including any amendments or modifications thereto, and other activities
of the Plan. Certain members of the BOD of the Parent Company are represented in the Executive
Retirement Committee. RBC manages the plan assets based on the mandate as defined in the trust
agreement.

The plan asset has no investment in the Parent Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The plan assets have diverse investments and do not have any concentration risk.
The management performs an asset-liability matching strategy annually. The overall investment
policy and strategy of the Group’s defined benefit plans is guided by the objective of achieving an
investment return which, together with contributions, ensures that there will be sufficient assets to pay
pension benefits as they fall due while also mitigating the various risk of the plans.
The overall expected rates of return on assets are based on the market expectations prevailing as at the
reporting date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is settled.
The average duration of the defined benefit obligation of the Group as of December 31, 2023
and 2022 is 21.33 and 9 years, respectively.
The principal assumptions used to determine the pension benefits of the Group follow:
2023 2022
Discount rate 6.05% to 7.17% 6.90% to 7.20%
Rate of salary increase 5.00% to 5.50% 5.00%
There are no unusual or significant risks to which the Plan exposes the Group. However, in the event
a benefit claim arises under the Retirement Plan and the Retirement Fund is not sufficient to pay the
benefit, the unfunded portion of the claim shall immediately be due and payable from the Group to
the Retirement Fund.
284 *SGVFS187718*
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of each
significant assumption on the retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2023 and 2022,
assuming all other assumptions were held constant.
It should be noted that the changes assumed to be reasonably possible at the valuation date are open
to subjectivity, and do not consider more complex scenarios in which changes other than those
assumed may be deemed to be more reasonable.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of short-term loans, loans payable, lease
liabilities, deposit from lessees, receivables from affiliated companies, payables to affiliated
companies, utility deposits, receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The main purpose of these
financial instruments is to raise fund for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other
financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other receivables and trade and other payables, which
arise directly from its operations.
The main risks currently arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency market
risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The BOD reviews and approves policies for
managing each of these risks and they are summarized below, together with the related risk
management structure.
The risk management framework encompasses environmental scanning, the identification and
assessment of business risks, development of risk management strategies, design and implementation
of risk management capabilities and appropriate responses, monitoring risks and risk management
performance, and identification of areas and opportunities for improvement in the risk management
process.
Each BOD has created the board-level Audit Committee (AC) to spearhead the managing and
monitoring of risks.
Audit Committee
The AC shall assist the Group’s BOD in its fiduciary responsibility for the over-all effectiveness of
risk management systems, and both the internal and external audit functions of the Group.
Furthermore, it is also the AC’s purpose to lead in the general evaluation and to provide assistance in
the continuous improvements of risk management, control and governance processes.
293 *SGVFS187718*
The AC also aims to ensure that:
a. financial reports comply with established internal policies and procedures, pertinent accounting
and audit standards and other regulatory requirements;
b. risks are properly identified, evaluated and managed, specifically in the areas of managing credit,
market, liquidity, operational, legal and other risks, and crisis management;
c. audit activities of internal and external auditors are done based on plan, and deviations are
explained through the performance of direct interface functions with the internal and external
auditors; and
d. the Group’s BOD is properly assisted in the development of policies that would enhance the risk
management and control systems.
Support groups have likewise been created to explicitly manage on a day-to-day basis specific types
of risks like trade receivables, supplier management, etc.
Compliance with the principles of good corporate governance is also one of the objectives of the
BOD. To assist the BOD in achieving this purpose, the BOD has designated a Compliance Officer
who shall be responsible for monitoring the actual compliance with the provisions and requirements
of the Corporate Governance Manual and other requirements on good corporate governance,
identifying and monitoring control compliance risks, determining violations, and recommending
penalties on such infringements for further review and approval of the BOD, among others.
Market risk
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arises from financial instruments
that are denominated in United States Dollar (USD) which result primarily from movement of the
Philippine Peso (PHP) against the USD.
The Group does not have any foreign currency hedging arrangements.
294 *SGVFS187718*
The table below summarizes the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk:
The exchange rates used to translate the Group’s USD-denominated assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022 follow:
The following table sets forth the impact of the range of reasonably possible changes in the
USD-PHP exchange rate on the Group’s income before income tax for the year ended
December 31, 2023 and 2022

Reasonably Possible Changes in CAD-PHP Exchange Rates Before Income Tax
December 31, 2023
2.0% PHP appreciation (P

2.0% PHP depreciation 22,219
Sensitivity to foreign exchange rates is calculated on the Group’s foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities, assuming a more likely scenario of foreign exchange rate of USD-PHP that can
happen within 12 months after reporting date using the same balances of financial assets and
liabilities as of reporting date.
The Group does not expect the impact of the volatility on other currencies to be material.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk arising from the shortage of funds due to unexpected events or transactions.
The Group manages its liquidity profile to be able to finance the capital expenditures and service the
maturing debts. To cover the financing requirements, the Group intends to use internally generated
funds and proceeds from debt and equity offerings.
The following table summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial assets and financial
liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, based on contractual undiscounted cash flows. The
table also analyses the maturity profile of the Group’s financial assets in order to provide a complete
view of the Group’s contractual commitments. The analysis into relevant maturity groupings is based
on the remaining period at the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity dates.
296 *SGVFS187718*
Balances due within six (6) months equal their carrying amounts, as the impact of discounting is
insignificant.

The Group seeks to manage its liquidity profile to be able to service its maturing debts and to finance
capital requirements. The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed sufficient to
finance operations. As part of its liquidity risk management, the Group regularly evaluates its
projected and actual cash flows. It also continuously assesses conditions in the financial markets for
opportunities to pursue fund-raising activities. Fund-raising activities may include bank loans and
capital market issues both onshore and offshore.
The Group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts,
whenever it’s advantageous to the Group.
The Group has no financial instruments with variable interest rates exposed to interest rate risk as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022.
297 *SGVFS187718*
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or
customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating
activities (primarily from cash and cash equivalents and receivables).
The Group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all
customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. Customers credit risk is managed
by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and controls. Credit
quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this
assessment. These measures result in the Group’s exposure to impairment loss as not significant. For
installment contract receivables, exposure to bad debt is not significant as title to real estate properties
are not transferred to the buyers until full payment has been made and the requirement for remedial
procedure is minimal given the profile of buyers.
Credit risk arising from rental income from leasing properties is primarily managed through a tenant
selection process. Prospective tenants are evaluated on the basis of payment track record and other
credit information. In accordance with the provisions of the lease contracts, the lessees are required
to deposit with the Group security deposits and advance rentals which helps significantly reduce the
Group’s credit risk exposure in case of defaults by the tenants. For existing tenants, the Group has
put in place a monitoring and follow-up system. Receivables are aged and analyzed on a continuous
basis to minimize credit risk associated with these receivables. Regular meetings with tenants are
also undertaken to assess paying capacity.
With respect to credit risk arising from the Group’s financial assets, which comprise of cash and cash
equivalents and receivables, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the
counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Credit
risk from balances with banks and financial institution is managed by the Group’s treasury
department. Investments are only made with approved and credit worthy counterparties and within
the credit limits assigned to each counterparty.
The table below shows the gross maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022 without considering the effects of collaterals and other credit risk
mitigation techniques:

The credit risk on installment contract receivables is mitigated because the corresponding title to
the subdivision units sold under this arrangement is transferred to the buyers only upon full
payment of the contract price. Applying the expected credit risk model did not result in the
recognition of an impairment loss for all financial assets at amortized cost in 2023 and 2022.
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities
or activities in the same geographic region or have similar economic features that would cause
their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic,
political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s
performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location. Such credit
risk concentrations, if not properly managed, may cause significant losses that could threaten the
Group’s financial strength and undermine public confidence. Given the Group’s diverse base of
counterparties, it is not exposed to large concentrations of credit risks.

High grade cash and cash equivalents are short-term placements and working cash fund placed,
invested, or deposited in foreign and local banks belonging to the top ten (10) banks, including an
affiliate bank, in the Philippines in terms of resources, profitability and credit standing.
High grade accounts, other than cash and cash equivalents, are accounts considered to be of high
value. The counterparties have a very remote likelihood of default and have consistently
exhibited good paying habits. Receivable from installment contract receivables are considered
high grade as title of the real estate property of the subject receivable passes to the buyer once
fully paid. Standard grade accounts are active accounts with propensity of deteriorating to mid-
range age buckets. These accounts are typically not impaired as the counterparties generally
respond to credit actions and update their payments accordingly.
Substandard grade accounts are accounts which have probability of impairment based on
historical trend. These accounts show propensity to default in payment despite regular follow-up
actions and extended payment terms.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables (except installment contract
receivables), other receivables, utility deposits, receivable and payable to affiliated companies and
accounts payable and accrued expenses are approximately equal to their fair values due to the
short-term nature of the transaction.
Set out below is a comparison of carrying amounts and fair values of installment contract receivables,
deposits from lessees and loans payable that are carried in the consolidated financial statements.
300 *SGVFS187718*
used range from 6.08% to 6.16% as of December 31, 2023 and 5.4% to 6.7% as of December 31,
2022.
The fair value of equity investments at FVOCI is based on quoted price in active market.
The fair value of installment contract receivables, deposits from lessees and loans payable disclosed
in the consolidated financial statements is categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
There has been no reclassification from Level 1 to Level 2 or 3 category.
In 2023, the Group and certain lessee amended an existing lease contract which effectively extended
the lease term from 10 years to 45 years. Under the amendatory agreement, the Group received a non-
refundable security deposit amounting US$18 million which shall represent the lease fee for the
extended period of 25 years after the expiration of the initial lease term of 20 years from 2021 up to
2032. The Group retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership on the building.

Group as a Lessee
The Group has lease contracts for various parcels of land used in its operations. Leases of land
generally have lease terms between 25 and 50 years. The Group’s obligations under its leases are
secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and
subleasing the leased assets and some contracts require the Group to maintain certain financial ratios.
There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options and variable lease
payments, which are further discussed below.
