Financial Highlights: Home Broadband and Corporate Data business sustained its revenue recovery

Against the backdrop of the significant economic and public mobility challenges amidst the COVID-19crisis, Globe closed the first nine month of the year with a robust consolidated service revenues of ₱113.6 billion, beating last year’s revenues by 4% and 3% higher than the same period of 2019 which was pre-pandemic. This quarter’s service revenues of ₱38.1 billion is the second highest in Globe’s history,breaching the ₱38 billion quarterly revenue level since the fourth quarter of 2019. The rising dataconsumption and broadband usage in the country remains the biggest driver for this period’s improved topline. Total data revenues accounted for 80% of total service revenues from 76% last year.

Mobile business remained stable growing by 1% year-on-year, mostly fueled by higher prepaid top upsgiven the consumer’s heightened need to maintain connectivity. This revenue improvement was alsoachieved despite the fact that Metro Manila was placed again under hard lockdown last August to curb the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant. Total mobile revenues comprised 69% of the total service revenues, with total mobile subscriber base now reaching 84 million, or up 7% year-on-year. From a product perspective, mobile data revenues posted ₱57.9 billion for the first nine months of the year from ₱53.7 billion reported a year ago. Mobile data now accounts for 74% of mobile revenues from 69% in the first nine months of 2020. The increased reliance of the Filipinos on connectivity and digital services resulted to mobile data traffic to surge to 2,730 petabytes from 1,762 petabytes in the same period of 2020,which translated to a strong year-on-year growth of 55%. Meanwhile, mobile voice and mobile SMS revenues ended at ₱13.3 billion and ₱7.2 billion, lower year-on-year by 14% and 17%, respectively.

Home Broadband business benefitted from the growing demand for high-speed, reliable and affordableinternet connectivity. As of end-September 2021, Home broadband revenues posted a record ₱22.4 billion, exceeding the same period of 2020 by 15%. The accelerated fiber rollout already yielded positive resultswith the increased take up of FTTH lines of 240% and fiber revenues growing by 169% against a year ago. Compared to the same period of 2019 or before the COVID-19 outbreak, Home broadband revenues likewise grew by 39%. The sustained stellar performance of Home Broadband was driven by the accelerated digital habits of the Filipinos brought about by the pandemic. Total Home broadband subscriber base rose from 3.5 million to 3.7 million this period, with the wired broadband customer base growing by32%. Additionally, HPW data traffic jumped 79% from 352 petabytes in the same period of 2020 to 628 petabytes this period.

Corporate Data business revenues for the first nine months of the year, increased by 11% from ₱9.4 billion as of end-September 2020, mostly coming from domestic services and information and communicationtechnology (ICT). Growth in ICT was largely from cloud and cybersecurity services. Compared to end-September of 2019, Corporate Data revenues improved by 8%. Fixed line voice, on the other hand, posteda 14% decline versus the year earlier due to lower outbound usage.

Meanwhile, total operating expenses including subsidy reached ₱56.6 billion as of end-September 2021,exceeding last year’s comparable by 7%. Bulk of the increase in expenses came mostly from staff costs,utilities, maintenance, and marketing costs, which was partly offset by lower trade provisions and subsidy.This period’s higher spending was mainly to support its aggressive network upgrades and site builds as well as to improve the customer experience.

Total consolidated EBITDA closed the first nine months of the year at ₱56.9 billion, up by 1% from a year ago due to improvement in the topline. EBITDA margin stood at 50% from 52% a year earlier. Consolidated net income likewise grew by 13% at ₱18.0 billion as of end-September 2021 from ₱15.9 billion in the same period of 2020, as the decline in non-operating charges and taxes fully offset the increase in depreciation expenses. Lower non-operating expenses this period was mainly due to lower equity share in Mynt losses, with its continued improved performance and the upside impact of CREATE law in the Vega group.

The Company’s core net income stood at ₱18.3 billion, up by 17% from ₱15.6 billion reported in same period of 2020. Globe’s core net income excludes the impact of non-recurring charges, and foreign exchange and mark-to-market charges. Globe’s balance sheet remained healthy and gearing within bank covenants despite the increase in debt from ₱167.7 billion as of end-December 2020 to ₱207.4 billion this period. Globe’s gross debt to equity is at 2.59x while gross debt to EBITDA is at 2.87x; Net debt to equity ratio is at 2.43x while net debt to EBITDA is 2.69x; and debt service coverage ratio is at 4.32x.

Ernest L. Cu, Globe President and CEO stated: “We are happy to report a resurgent businessperformance in the third quarter, with the topline now back to pre-pandemic levels, despite the continued economic and public mobility challenges, and competitive industry environment. Buoyed by the success of Mynt’s latest funding round and achieving double unicorn status, we believe that our strategy to use the telco business as a platform to become a digital solutions group by exploring adjacencies in high-growth areas such as fintech, healthtech, AdTech, and e-commerce, among others, will embolden us to launch more potential unicorns in the near term and pave the way for us to become a leader in the digital space.

Commitment to Sustainability:

Globe has shifted to clean energy for 13 corporate offices and key facilities in Metro Manila, Luzon, and Visayas as part of its journey towards decarbonizing its operations and helping address climate change.The company started buying power from energy companies producing renewable energy in 2019 through Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES). Since then, it has increased the number of key facilities operating on clean energy. By purchasing renewable energy from RES, Globe aims to encourage more investments towards clean energy in support of the Philippines’ commitment to the Paris Agreement through the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to reduce carbon emissions by 75 percent in 2030.

Globe actively pursues various environmental sustainability initiatives under its climate strategy primarily to make substantial contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and to the #RaceToZero campaign target of carbon neutrality by 2050. Earlier this year, Globe expressed support to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) which will be the foundation of its climate action strategy. This will help mitigate the impact of climate change by having a science-based and data-backed report. Globe is also the first and only Philippine company listed in the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi), committing to set science-based emissions reduction targets that are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°Cabove pre-industrial levels.In addition, to help address concerns over informal e-waste processing and its associated risks to the peopleand environment, Globe joined a multi-stakeholder partnership that will put up the country’s secondcommunity e-waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facility in Barangay Dampalit, Malabon City.The facility is expected to be inaugurated by late November 2021 and will start operations immediatelyafter necessary technical training is completed. Barangay Dampalit was selected as the new TSD site andthe local e-waste pickers, led by their association—Samahan ng Magbabaklas, will be trained on properhandling and dismantling of e-waste to discourage unconventional and harmful means of recycling. Globe is providing fund support to construct the TSD facility. The company will also provide bins for additionale-waste drop-off points, facilitate the safe transport of non-CRT e-waste items to the DENR-accredited recycling facilities, co-develop communications and creative materials, and introduce affordable financialand health services such as GCash, G-Insure, and KonsultaMD to identified inormal e-waste pickers in Barangay Dampalit, Malabon City.

The city governments of Navotas, Bacoor, and Cabanatuan have harnessed the power of SMS API, a text messaging solution from Globe Labs, that allows them to send targeted vaccination announcements to their constituents. Meanwhile, the LGUs of Cebu City, Mandaluyong City, and Daraga in Albay have partnered with Globe for its Automated Mobile Blaster (AMBER) services to disseminate vaccination program alerts to more people in their areas. The city governments of Cauayan in Isabela, and Las Piñas have also opted for  AMBER to communicate their public announcements to their constituents.
