House of Investments 2025 net income up 27% to P3.6B on insurance, schools

House of Investments Inc. posted a 27% rise in 2025 consolidated net income to P3.6 billion, driven by its financial services and school businesses. The Yuchengco-led holding company plans to expand recurring income across insurance, education, energy, and property.

YUCHENGCO-LED House of Investments, Inc. (HI) reported a 27% rise in consolidated net income to P3.6 billion in 2025, with financial services and school operations contributing the bulk of earnings, the listed holding company said on Monday after its annual stockholders’ meeting. Consolidated revenues increased 12% to P43.7 billion during the year.

HI President and Chief Executive Officer Lorenzo V. Tan said the company had increased investments in insurance, schools, energy, and property. “We shifted our focus toward sustainable growth and recurring income, increasing investments in insurance, education, energy, and property. Our portfolio is intentionally built to balance out different business cycles and shield our growth from macroeconomic headwinds,” he said.

HI said its financial services segment accounted for 58% of total net income and 71% of revenues in 2025, led by life insurer Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. The company plans to increase fee-based and protection-related income from financial services, expand its customer base, and broaden its product offerings. Its investment in iPeople, Inc. accounted for 31% of total net income and 14% of revenues, with the school network serving more than 83,600 students at the start of academic year 2025.

In energy, HI said listed subsidiary PetroEnergy Resources Corp. had about 233 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity at the end of 2025 and is targeting 1 gigawatt (GW) by 2030. PetroEnergy plans to continue predevelopment work for solar, wind, and geothermal projects in the Philippines. The 1-GW target had already been disclosed in HI’s second-quarter regulatory filing released in August.

That filing showed HI posted P2.52 billion in consolidated net income in the first half of 2026, up 77.9% from P1.42 billion a year earlier, while attributable net income rose to P1.55 billion from P849.23 million. HI attributed the first-half increase mainly to financial services, which generated P1.82 billion in net income and accounted for 72% of consolidated net income during the period.

In property, HI said The Yuchengco Centre in Makati’s central business district began accepting its first tenants in June, and master planning for TARI Estate began in August. The project is being developed by HI subsidiary Tarlac Terra Ventures, Inc. in partnership with LIMA Land, Inc., the property development arm of Aboitiz Economic Estates. In June, HI said Tarlac Terra Ventures entered into a memorandum of cooperation with Philippine Pharma Procurement, Inc. to explore opportunities related to the development of a pharmaceutical economic zone.

“With a diversified portfolio anchored on recurring income, we are uniquely positioned for long-term sustainable growth that can adapt to potential macroeconomic challenges in the future,” Mr. Tan said. HI shares closed unchanged at P4.99 apiece on Monday.
