Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PLDT Inc. reported Q1 2026 results showing modest growth in its core telecom business while announcing several corporate actions. Gross service revenues rose 3% to ₱54.9 billion and service revenues, net of interconnection costs, were stable at ₱48.9 billion. Consolidated EBITDA increased 2% to ₱28.3 billion with a steady 52% margin, while Core Income grew 2% to ₱9.1 billion; reported net income slipped 2% to ₱8.9 billion.

Data and broadband remained the growth engine, contributing ₱41.9 billion or 86% of net service revenues. PLDT declared a ₱12.42 million cash dividend on its Series IV preferred shares and maintained positive free cash flow as capex eased to ₱10 billion from ₱10.8 billion. The company ended March with ₱282.3 billion in consolidated net debt and a Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.53x.

The Board approved a proposed acquisition of the remaining 65.1% of Radius Telecoms, equal to 4,647,494 shares at ₱631.52 per share for total consideration of ₱2.935 billion, which would make Radius a wholly owned subsidiary after regulatory and other customary conditions are met. The filing also notes leadership changes: the planned retirement of Senior Vice President, CFO and Chief Risk Management Officer Danny Y. Yu effective May 31, 2026, the appointment of Leo I. Posadas as officer-in-charge of the Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Group from June 1, 2026, and a one-year extension of Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer Gina Marina P. Ordoñez’s employment.

Insights

PLDT posts steady Q1, tightens cash discipline, and moves to fully own Radius.

PLDT delivered low single-digit growth in Q1 2026. Gross service revenues rose to ₱54.9 billion, with data and broadband at ₱41.9 billion now making up 86% of net service revenues. EBITDA increased to ₱28.3 billion at a stable 52% margin, while Core Income edged up to ₱9.1 billion.

Capital expenditure declined to ₱10 billion from ₱10.8 billion, helping sustain positive free cash flow. Net debt stood at ₱282.3 billion with Net Debt-to-EBITDA at 2.53x, and investment-grade ratings were reaffirmed, suggesting balance sheet metrics remain within the company’s comfort range.

The proposed acquisition of the remaining 65.1% of Radius Telecoms for ₱2.935 billion in cash would consolidate a fiber asset serving enterprise and residential customers, subject to definitive agreements and Philippine regulatory clearances. Management continuity is addressed through an officer-in-charge structure following the CFO’s retirement effective May 31, 2026. Subsequent filings may provide more detail on Radius’s contribution and post-transaction financial effects.

Gross service revenues ₱54.9 billion Q1 2026, up 3% year-on-year
Net service revenues ₱48.9 billion Q1 2026, net of interconnection costs
Consolidated EBITDA ₱28.3 billion Q1 2026, 52% margin
Core Income ₱9.1 billion Q1 2026, up 2% year-on-year
Reported net income ₱8.9 billion Q1 2026, down 2% year-on-year
Capex ₱10 billion Q1 2026, versus ₱10.8 billion in Q1 2025
Consolidated net debt ₱282.3 billion As of March 31, 2026; Net Debt-to-EBITDA 2.53x
Radius acquisition price ₱2,935,000,000 Proposed consideration for remaining 65.1% of Radius
Net Service Revenues financial
"Net Service Revenues (net of interconnect costs) held steady at ₱48.9 billion"
EBITDA financial
"Consolidated EBITDA increased 2% to ₱28.3 billion, with EBITDA margin steady at 52%"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
Telco Core Income financial
"Telco Core Income at ₱8.6 billion"
congressional telecommunications franchise regulatory
"Radius holds a congressional telecommunications franchise to construct, install, establish, operate, and maintain…"
Net Debt-to-EBITDA financial
"Net Debt-to-EBITDA improved to 2.53x from 2.56x as of end-2025"
Net debt-to-EBITDA is a financial ratio that compares a company's total debt, minus its cash reserves, to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). It shows how many years it would take for the company to pay off its net debt if all its earnings were used for that purpose. Investors use this ratio to assess whether a company has manageable debt levels and its ability to meet its financial obligations.
noncontrolling interests financial
"Noncontrolling interests | 1,247 | 1,194"
The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and profits that belongs to outside owners rather than the parent company; when a parent reports consolidated results it includes the whole subsidiary but shows the noncontrolling slice separately. Think of a company’s subsidiary as a pie where the parent owns most slices but some are held by other investors — noncontrolling interests tell you how much of the pie and its future earnings don’t belong to the parent, which affects how much profit and net assets are truly attributable to the parent’s shareholders.

MANILA, Philippines 14th May 2026 – PLDT Inc. (“PLDT”) (PSE: TEL) (NYSE: PHI)

reported Gross Service Revenues growth of 3% to ₱54.9 billion, while Net Service Revenues (net of interconnect costs) held steady at ₱48.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026. Growth in data and broadband helped offset declines in legacy services, supporting stable earnings and margins. Data and broadband revenues totaled ₱41.9 billion, accounting for 86% of Net Service Revenues versus 85% last year. Excluding legacy drag, Net Service Revenues grew 2%.

 

Consolidated EBITDA increased 2% to ₱28.3 billion, with EBITDA margin steady at 52% for the quarter.


 

Capital expenditure for the first three months of 2026 amounted to ₱10 billion, compared to ₱10.8 billion in the same period last year, as PLDT continued to exercise discipline in capital spending while prioritizing investments that support growth and service quality. This helped support PLDT’s positive free cash flow position as of end-March.

 

Core Income increased 2% to ₱9.1 billion, supported by Maya’s continued contribution and gains from asset sales under PLDT’s ongoing asset monetization program. This helped offset higher depreciation and amortization and softer telco operating results, with Telco Core Income at ₱8.6 billion. Reported Net Income for the first quarter of 2026 stood at ₱8.9 billion.

 

Consolidated Net Debt as of end-March 2026 amounted to ₱282.3 billion, while Net Debt-to-EBITDA improved to 2.53x from 2.56x as of end-2025. Gross Debt was at ₱297.3 billion, with maturities well spread out. U.S. dollar-denominated debt accounted for 14% of Gross Debt, while unhedged debt remained limited at 5% of total debt. PLDT also continued to actively manage its funding costs, working with its bank partners to negotiate more favorable spreads and tenors on benchmark-linked borrowings, helping keep net financing costs steady quarter-on-quarter. PLDT’s credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P Global remain at investment grade.

 

“We are moving in the right direction,” said Manuel V Pangilinan, PLDT and Smart Chairman and CEO. “The fundamentals are sound, and the momentum is there, but our team is capable of more. We expect more of ourselves, and we intend to deliver.”

Wireless Consumer: 5G and hyper-personalization support resilient data growth

 

PLDT’s Wireless Consumer segment generated ₱21.0 billion in revenues in the first quarter of 2026. While consumer spending remained selective during the quarter, Smart’s mobile subscriber base continued to recover, with demand for connectivity reflected in sustained growth in data revenues, healthy usage, and strong momentum in Fixed Wireless Access.

 

Wireless consumer data revenues (including Fixed Wireless Access or FWA) increased 1% to ₱19.4 billion, now accounting for 92% of total Wireless Consumer revenues. Mobile data revenues stood at ₱18.9 billion, supported by continued engagement across video, mobile games, social media, messaging, and app-based usage.

 

Usage growth remained healthy. Total data traffic rose 10% to 1,583 petabytes in the first three months of 2026, reflecting sustained data engagement across the base and growth of 5G FWA. As of end-March, active data users increased to 44.1 million from 43.2 million as of end-2025, supporting continued scale in data consumption and providing a strong runway for targeted offer design and 5G-led engagement.

 


 

 

FWA is a key growth area, with revenues up 18% year-on-year. This growth was supported by the shift in technology from 4G to 5G FWA, which improved customer experience and enabled better monetization of available 5G capacity. FWA also continues to complement PLDT Home by serving demand for flexible home connectivity, particularly among households seeking prepaid broadband options where fiber is not yet available. This continued shift toward LTE/5G and data-led usage reflects the growing relevance of mobile data as the core of Smart’s Wireless Consumer business.

5G adoption continues to accelerate. 5G device users increased 34% year-on-year to

12.2 million, representing 20% of subscribers. The wider availability of affordable 5G handsets and Smart’s network optimization and targeted rollouts continue to drive the move toward faster, more reliable connectivity and richer digital use cases.

Smart is also sharpening its monetization efforts through more intentional, data-led execution. Hyperpersonalized offers, dynamic pricing, and upsell programs allow Smart

to match the right offer to the right customer at the right time, improving relevance, supporting take-up, and helping convert sustained data usage into higher value over time.

Home: Strengthening customer experience and value proposition amid transformation

 

PLDT Home accelerated its transformation initiatives in the first quarter of 2026 as part of its broader efforts to enhance customer experience and support long-term growth.

 

This marked a pivotal rollout of cloud-based, AI-ready operational support systems (OSS) aimed at modernizing digital infrastructure, streamlining operations, and strengthening scalability.

 

Amid this transition, PLDT Home sustained fiber revenues at P14.7 billion, flat year-on-year. Total Home revenues came in at P15.0 billion, down by 1% year-on-year, reflecting temporary OSS migration-related constraints, as well as lower legacy revenues. Home subscribers remained at 3.80 million as of end-March 2026.

 

PLDT Home Fiber ARPU stood at ₱1,347, impacted by two temporary factors: customer assistance for typhoon-affected subscribers and the aforementioned OSS migration. Churn, however, remained stable at 1.8%, reflecting continued customer loyalty and the resilience of the Home subscriber base.

 

Amid tensions in the Middle East, and in line with the Philippine Government’s call to provide essential support to Filipinos, PLDT Home enabled free International Direct Dial (IDD) calls, to help subscribers reach loved ones in Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Israel, and Iran. This initiative supported families in the Philippines who needed to stay connected with loved ones in conflict-affected regions, recording a total of 8,294 minutes from 2,308 calls during the period.

 


 

Building on its transformation momentum, PLDT Home continues to enhance its product portfolio to support subscriber growth. This includes Fiber Prepaid services with new load packages and expanded payment partners including Maya, GCash, SM, and Smart loading partners to make affordable internet more accessible to Filipinos.

 

Beyond connectivity, PLDT Home continues to expand its digital services through its Home Life portfolio, which includes StreamTV+, a premium streaming device developed in collaboration with global technology leaders Sagemcom, Bang & Olufsen, and Dolby, delivering a more immersive home entertainment experience for customers. Complementing this, PLDT Home partnered with TP-Link to launch a Smart Home Starter Kit, enabling customers to adopt smart home security and automation through affordable packages.

 

Enterprise: Sustaining growth momentum on ICT expansion and network modernization

PLDT’s Enterprise Business reported revenues of ₱12.4 billion for the first quarter of 2026, a 4% increase year-on-year, supported by sustained demand for ICT and digital infrastructure services, alongside strong Wireless performance.

Growth in the quarter was primarily driven by Corporate Data and ICT, which rose 5% year on year to ₱9.3 billion, accounting for 75% of Enterprise revenues. This reflects organizations increasingly consolidating toward integrated, managed, and analytics-driven platforms to improve efficiency, scalability, and decision-making.

 

Within ICT, revenues grew 17% year-on-year, supported by strong performance in Managed IT Services, Cloud Services, and Data & AI. Managed IT services and Data and AI recorded year-on-year growth of 79% and 31%, respectively, as more enterprises shifted toward managed and analytics-driven platforms. This trend increases solution stickiness and positions ICT as the primary engine of Enterprise revenue growth.

 

Data Center revenues grew by 10% year-on-year, boosted by sustained demand for secure, carrier-neutral facilities and the expansion of capacity to address increasing data requirements. Growth was likewise supported by Vitro Santa Rosa’s campaign “Tara Na Sa Biyaheng VITRO Sta Rosa”, which underscored the capabilities of PLDT’s AI-ready hyperscale data center—the Philippines’ first.

 

The Fixed business remained broadly stable, supported by continued enterprise investments in network modernization. Fiber lines expanded by 6% year-on-year, while SD-WAN lines grew by 17% in the same period, as enterprises upgraded to high-capacity fiber and software-defined networks to support multi-site operations, cloud adoption, and more centralized network management. Together, these trends underscore the demand for scalable and reliable connectivity solutions that enable enterprises to efficiently

 


 

manage distributed operations and support cloud-based and bandwidth-intensive applications.

The Wireless business expanded by 13%, on account of strong performance by A2P, Bizload and IOT, as Wireless solutions continued to power up messaging aggregators, automate load distribution across companies’ workforce, and optimize operational efficiency.

 

Overall, the Enterprise segment’s performance in the quarter highlights a structural shift toward ICT-led growth, supported by a solid connectivity backbone across Fixed and Wireless solutions. This integrated approach—combining ICT, Fixed, and Wireless—enables enterprises to operate more seamlessly across locations while strengthening the reliability and scalability of their digital infrastructure.

 

Looking ahead, the Enterprise business is expected to sustain its momentum through continued expansion of ICT services, ongoing network modernization initiatives, and enhancements in service quality and customer experience. These efforts position the segment to capture evolving enterprise requirements as demand for secure, scalable, and intelligent digital infrastructure continues to grow.

Network: Continued investments to enhance coverage, service quality

The PLDT Group continued investing in its fiber and wireless infrastructure to enhance coverage and service quality across the Philippines. As of end-March 2026, the Group’s fiber network spanned 1.29 million cable kilometers of domestic and international fiber.

 

As the Group continues to explore innovative solutions to bridge coverage gaps, particularly in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDAs), PLDT and Smart continued testing direct-to-device satellite-powered mobile connectivity with Lynk Global in Ilocos Region to enable users to send SMS and use apps like WhatsApp even when cell services are unavailable.

 

Communities like Brgy Subay on Talim Island in Rizal have likewise begun reaping the benefits of PLDT’s deployment of Google’s Taara air laser technology in their area, enriching the day-to-day learning experiences of students and boosting the delivery of local government services to citizens.

 

PLDT is set to connect thousands of previously unconnected barangays across the country, enabling livelihood, education, digitalized delivery of public service, through strategic coordination with key government agencies and accelerating network deployment nationwide.

 


 

Maya sustains growth and profitability in Q1 2026

Maya, the leading digital financial services platform in the Philippines, continued to build on its growth and profitability momentum in the first quarter of 2026. Through its integrated platform spanning payments and digital banking, Maya enables consumers to manage money more effectively while supporting businesses with solutions that improve cash flow and access to financing, reinforcing its position as the country’s leading digital bank and merchant acquirer.

 

During the quarter, Maya continued to deepen its banking, credit, and payments capabilities, leveraging its proprietary platform and AI-first, data-driven underwriting to expand access to responsible financing. Adoption across the Maya consumer app and Maya Business platform remained strong, driven by the continued scaling of integrated payment acceptance, business deposit, and credit solutions.

 

As of March 2026, Maya’s deposit balance reached ₱76 billion, up 73% year-on-year, while its loan book stood at ₱33 billion. Asset quality remained stable, with a gross NPL ratio of 4.9%, while lending performance was supported by a loan-to-deposit ratio of 44% and net interest margin of 17.1%

As a group, Maya also sustained its profitability as the platform continues to scale.

Maya’s efforts continue to be recognized through industry awards, including “Neobank of the Year” and “Best Digital Fraud Protection Experience” from The Asset Triple A Digital Awards 2026, and inclusion in Forbes’ World’s Best Banks 2026.

 

Beyond financial performance, Maya expanded partnerships to drive financial inclusion, including its collaboration with the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) to extend digital banking and credit access to 1.9 million digital workers, supporting the development of formal credit histories and improving payroll and disbursement systems for business customers.

 

Sustainability

 

After consecutive inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025 and 2026, PLDT was identified as eligible for potential inclusion in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class (DJ BIC) index. While not included in the final DJ BIC constituents, PLDT remains steadfast in embedding sustainability across its business and advancing its ESG commitments.

 

To better understand its business impact across ESG areas and identify sustainability-related issues most important to its stakeholders, PLDT completed a revalidation of its materiality assessment, identifying Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, Customer Experience, and Customer Welfare as the issues most important to stakeholders.

 


 

To combat cybercrimes and online harms, the Group's cybersecurity infrastructure prevented 1.4 billion cyberattacks and disabled 198K mobile numbers involved in phishing, SMShing, and vishing. PLDT and Smart's Child Protection Platform has blocked more than 2.1 million URLs linked to online sexual abuse or exploitation of children since June 2021. The Group also reached over 7,000 individuals through digital empowerment programs and participated in Quezon City's Safer Internet Day.

 

To help reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving service reliability, Smart partnered with independent tower company Edgepoint Infrastructure for tower solarization. Piloting in 20 Smart-leased cell sites, primarily those in off-grid areas, this move is expected to help reduce operating costs related to operating diesel gensets, and ensure more regular power supply from installed solar panels equipped with battery storage.

 

To promote digital inclusion, PLDT and Smart advanced programs uplifting underserved communities. Through the IDEATe for Livelihood Program, 11 scholars secured employment. The Group also represented the Philippine private sector at a digital agriculture forum in Seoul, showcasing #KonektedForLivelihoods programs that have helped farmers and MSMEs increase incomes by up to 400%.

To ensure organizational alignment of employee KPIs with group wide ESG goals, PLDT and Smart conducted trainings and roadshows covering energy efficiency, decarbonization, circularity, and child protection. These topics are also integrated into the Be Kind. Recycle. program onboarding sessions for customer communities.

 

To advance sustainable supply chain practices, PLDT participated in HSBC's 3rd Sustainability Forum for suppliers, sharing its own ESG journey and encouraging others to integrate sustainability into their operations.

 

To champion sustainability among Philippine corporates, PLDT deepened its commitment to the UN Global Compact's local chapter, with its Chief Sustainability Officer elected as Chairperson. PLDT also joined the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment's Leaders for Change Roundtable.

 

The Group received the following international citations during the quarter:

 

PLDT was recognized by the Thomson Reuters Foundation's Workforce Disclosure Initiative with a special mention under the Workforce Action category and a shortlist placement for the Best First Time Responder Overall Award at the 2025 WDi Workforce Transparency Awards.

 

Smart was recognized by GSMA as among mobile operators helping bridge the digital usage gap, highlighting the Digital Farmers Program and eBizNovation programs under its Breaking Barriers campaign.

 


 

 

 

OUTLOOK

For 2026, PLDT expects capex to be in the mid-₱50 billion range, reflecting disciplined investment. PLDT intends to sustain positive free cash flow and maintain a 60% dividend payout.

11. Item 4 (Resignation, Removal or Election of Directors or Officers)

 

We disclose that at the meeting of the Board of Directors of PLDT Inc. (respectively, the “Board” and the “Company”) held on May 14, 2026:

 

a.
The Board accepted the retirement of Mr. Danny Y. Yu as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Management Officer of the Company effective May 31, 2026. The Board expressed its sincerest gratitude to Mr. Yu for his pivotal role in strengthening the Company’s financial foundation, guiding it with prudence, integrity, and strategic foresight. His steady leadership has been instrumental in ensuring the Company’s stability and resilience, even in challenging times. He defined financial discipline by two standards: (a) judicious use of resources exemplified by decelerating capital expenditures and operating expenses, and (b) tight cash management, enabling the Company’s return to positive free cashflows.

 

In 2025 or just over two years from Mr. Yu’s joining PLDT in November 2022, PLDT achieved positive free cash flow -- the first full year of positive free cash flow in seven years since 2019 -- while keeping net debt at manageable levels. PLDT’s performance in 2025 underscored the strength of PLDT’s dividend support and the sustainability of its free cash flow and payout.

 

A meticulous and highly disciplined CFO with a keen eye for detail, Mr. Yu would work for hours to analyze headwinds and market conditions to ultimately make sense of the numbers. He also focused on monetizing legacy assets and strengthened Revenue Assurance and Fraud Management capabilities which prevented sizable potential losses.

 

Mr. Yu will continue to serve as a director of Smart Communications, Inc. and other subsidiaries and affiliates of the Group and as consultant of the Company.

 

The Board wished Mr. Yu continued success and fulfillment in all his future endeavors.

 

b.
The Board approved the appointment of Mr. Leo I. Posadas as Officer-in-Charge of the Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Group, concurrent to his role as Senior Vice President and Treasurer, effective June 1, 2026.

 

c.
The Board approved the extension of the employment of Ms. Gina Marina P. Ordoñez, Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer, from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Regulation Code, the Company has duly authorized and caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned.
