PART I - BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
A. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
DMCI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 8, 1995 as a holding company to
extract greater value from the engineering expertise and construction resources of D.M. Consunji, Inc.,
the pioneering contractor behind some of the biggest and most complex infrastructures in the
Philippines. It was listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange on December 18, 1995.
In only a few years after incorporation, the Company has expanded its business organization to
include five major subsidiaries, namely: D.M. Consunji, Inc., DMCI Project Developers, Inc., Semirara
Mining and Power Corporation, DMCI Power Corporation and DMCI Mining Corporation. In addition,
the Company has an indirect ownership in Maynilad Water Services, Inc. through a 27 percent stake in
Maynilad Water Holding Company, Inc., which owns 93 percent of the water concessionaire.
D. M. Consunji, Inc. (DMCI), a wholly owned subsidiary, is engaged in general construction services.
It is also engaged in various construction component businesses such as the production and trading of
concrete products and electrical and foundation works. Incorporated and founded in 1954, DMCI is
currently one of the leading engineering and construction firms in the country. It operates in four key
construction segments: building, energy, infrastructure, and utilities. Over the years, its pioneering
methodologies and expertise have allowed it to complete high-rise buildings, toll roads, bridges, power
plants and water facilities of varying scale and complexity. DMCI is at the forefront of building
important and technically challenging structures that will improve lives, sustain communities and
enable growth in the Philippines.
DMCI Project Developers, Inc. (PDI), a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in 1995 initially as a
housing division under DMCI. Subsequently in 1999, DMCI Homes was spun off to address the surge
in demand for urban homes. Since then, the Company has made high-quality living available to average
Filipino families through its innovative designs, proprietary technologies and cost-efficient
methodologies. Its core products include residential condominium units with resort-inspired amenities
in mid-rise and high-rise developments in Metro Manila and other key areas in Luzon, as well as in
Cebu and Davao City.
Semirara Mining and Power Corporation (SMPC), a 56.65% subsidiary and is engaged in the
exploration, mining, development and sales of coal resources on Semirara Island in Caluya, Antique. It
is the largest coal producer in the country. SMPC has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Sem-Calaca
Power Corporation (2x300 MW) and Southwest Luzon Power Generation Corporation (2x150 MW).
The two companies provide baseload power through bilateral contracts with distribution utilities.
Excess generation is sold to the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM).
DMCI Power Corporation (DPC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in 2006
and is engaged in the business of a generation company which designs, constructs, invest in, and
operate power plants. DPC provides off-grid power to missionary areas through long-term power
Page 6 of 59
supply agreements with local electric cooperatives. It currently operates and maintains bunker-fired
power plants and diesel generating sets in parts of Masbate, Oriental Mindoro and Palawan.
DMCI Mining Corporation (DMC) incorporated in 2007 to engage in ore and mineral mining and
exploration. It has two nickel mining assets, namely Berong Nickel Corp (BNC) and Zambales Diversified
Metals Corp (ZDMC). The former is located in Berong, Long Point, Moorsom and Ulugan, all in the
province of Palawan, while the latter is located in Acoje, Zambales. Both mining companies use open
pit technique to extract nickel, chromite and iron laterite.
Maynilad Water Holding Company, Inc. (Maynilad) (formerly DMCI-MPIC Water Co.) is a
consortium with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation and Marubeni Philippines Corp. which owns
93% equity at Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (MWSI). The Company's economic interest in MWSI
decreased to 25% from 41%, after Marubeni acquired 20% of economic interest in Maynilad last
February 2013.
The lists of subsidiaries, associates and joint venture as well as the information of each operating
segment of the Company are contained in the attached Consolidated Financial Statements as of
December 31, 2019.

Distribution methods of the products or services
This is not applicable to the Parent Company being a holding company. For the operating companies,
the following are the distribution methods of products and services: DMCI pursue construction
projects both from government and private investors. DMCI closely works with the project owners,
concerned government agencies, qualified subcontractors and service providers in delivering quality
service. Meanwhile, PDI has its own in-house sales team and external brokers in marketing its
residential products to its customers. Marketing policy of SMPC is to sell directly to ultimate consumers
for local sales on FOB basis. Export sales are distributed through coal traders, also on FOB basis. For
nickel mining, DMC sells directly to the customers. All nickel sales are on FOB basis. The Company’s
power segments have power supply agreements to private distribution utilities, various cooperatives
and other customers. Meanwhile, Water is distributed through Maynilad’s network of pipelines,
pumping stations and mini-boosters.
Competition
Among the publicly listed companies, DMCI Holdings, Inc. is the only holding company which has
construction for its primary investment. Its construction business is primarily conducted by wholly-
owned subsidiary, D.M. Consunji, Inc. (DMCI), which has, for its competitors, numerous construction
contracting companies, both local and foreign, currently operating in the country. It has been an
acknowledged trend that the state of construction industry depends mainly on prevailing economic
conditions. Thus, the currently strong economic growth explains the continued expansion in the
construction industry. To optimize its resources and profitability, DMCI has been focusing on selected
markets where construction demand has remained relatively strong, particularly, in more complex
building structures and civil works. The Company's coal mining is the largest coal producer in the
country. Competition is coming from imported coal. The real estate business, PDI, is well-positioned
to capture the end-user market with much lower price for the same market with that of its competitor.
Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers
Not applicable to DMCI Holdings, Inc. For DMCI and PDI, it has its own pool of equipment and
construction materials supplies. Meanwhile, SMPC and DMC sources its ore from its mining properties
under appropriate rights granted by law or the Government of the Philippines.

Transactions with and/or dependence on related parties
All transactions with related companies are done on market terms and arm’s length basis. See Note
21 (Related Party Disclosures) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Patents, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, franchises, concessions, and royalty agreements held
Not applicable to DMCI Holdings, Inc. For DMCI, it is and remains a quadruple-A (“AAAA”) licensed
contractor, given by the Philippine Construction Accreditation Board (PCAB), in consideration of certain
minimum requirements such as: (1) financial capacity; (2) equipment capacity; (3) experience of firm;
and (4) experience of technical personnel. The Quadruple A license is currently the highest given to
firms that satisfy the institution’s requirements and allows the AAAA builder-developer to qualify to
be invited to foreign bids. PDI is also recognized as a Quadruple A contractor by PCAB on January 2017.
It is the first real estate firm to be recognized as such. Meanwhile, SMPC has existing royalty
agreements with the Department of Energy (DOE) and land claimants. SMPC is in full compliance with
its existing royalty agreements as of December 31, 2019.
Major Risks
Risk management is entrenched in the decision-making process of the Company and its subsidiaries.
We continually monitor and assess our risk areas and develop strategies and action plans to better
manage them.
The Company is now developing a pool of potential successors, from which future leaders and
senior managers will be drawn.
Mentoring and talent development is also being intensified to prepare the next batch of
professionals to assume greater responsibilities in the organization.
2. Portfolio management
Financial stability of the holding company
Our primary responsibility is to deliver value to our shareholders by ensuring the financial stability
of the Company. We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet that will provide support for
growth and cushion for economic uncertainties.
Our cash flows are dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries and affiliate to pay dividends. These
are used to pay dividends to our shareholders and to fund new investments.
The senior management of the holding company participates in the strategic planning process of
the subsidiaries and affiliates to align their strategic goals and actions with the holding company,
to unlock synergies within the Group and to ensure that their capital allocation decisions will allow
the holding company to deliver on its dividend commitment.
A gating process is established wherein all new business opportunities are evaluated based on
highly selective criteria identified by the Board and senior management. This is conducted to
minimize the time and resources of evaluating potential investments that may not be pursued
eventually.
Upon the Board’s decision to pursue the investment, a technical working group is established to
perform due diligence covering the financial, operational, regulatory and risk management of the
investment. Once the holding company has invested, a post implementation review is performed
to evaluate if project objectives are met and to identify improvements for mitigating future risks.
To manage our compliance risks, we have dedicated compliance and regulatory teams in our
operating subsidiaries that coordinate with the different business units to ensure conformity to
applicable laws and regulations and ISO standards. They also monitor emerging laws and
regulations affecting the industries.
B. PROPERTIES
The Company and its subsidiaries own and lease several tracts of land for operations and for
administrative/office use. The leases are renewable under such terms and conditions that are agreed
upon by the contracting parties. Rental rates are based on prevailing market rental rates for the said
properties. Please refer to Note 34 of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details on lease agreements.
The Company and its subsidiaries also invested in equipment used especially in its construction, real
estate, mining and power businesses.
All properties and equipment are free of any liens and encumbrances except for some equipment
used as collateral for existing loans of the subsidiaries for which they are in full compliant with (see

company, Universal Rightfield Property Holdings, Inc., including Isidro A. Consunji as former
Chairman, Cesar A. Buenaventura and Ma. Edwina C. Laperal as former directors of ULC.
Complainants claim to have been induced to buy ULC shares of stock on the representation
that ULC shall develop a project known as “a network of 5 world clubs.”
The case was re-raffled to RTC-QC Branch 85 (the “Court”). On January 10, 2003 respondents
filed their Motion for Reconsideration on the resolution dated December 3, 2002
recommending the filing of the complaint in court, which was granted on August 18, 2003.
Accordingly, a Motion to Withdraw Information was filed in Court. On September 11, 2003,
complainants’ sought reconsideration of the resolution withdrawing the information, but was
denied by the City Prosecutor. By reason of the denial, Complainants’ filed a Petition for Review
with the Department of Justice (DOJ) on August 26, 2005.
Meanwhile, the Court granted the withdrawal of information on June 6, 2005. Complainants
filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Urgent Motion for Inhibition, but were both denied by
the Court in its Omnibus Order dated November 29, 2005. Thereafter, a Notice of Appeal was
filed by the complainants, but was ordered stricken out from records by the Court for being
unauthorized and declaring the Omnibus Order final and executory in its Order dated February
22, 2007. The Petition for Review, however, filed by the Complainants with the DOJ on August
26, 2005 is pending to date.

of land they bought in Mahogany Place III, one of the developments of DMCI-PDI. In a
Resolution dated February 16, 2016, the Office of the City Prosecutor for Taguig City dismissed
the Complaint-Affidavit dated November 6, 2014 of complainants Andrew David Pope and
Annalyn Pope, because of Spouses Pope’s failure to show the element of deceit as would
establish probable cause to indict the respondents for syndicated estafa. Spouses Pope filed

seeking to reverse and set aside the Taguig City Prosecutor’s Office’s (“TCPO”) Resolution dated

et al., G.R. No. 221960, Supreme Court en banc. - This involves a Petition heard before the
Court of Appeals (CA) for the issuance of a Writ of Kalikasan, whereby Agham Party List
("Agham") alleged that DMCI Holdings Inc. (as owner of the Zambales port and owner of DMCI
Mining Corporation) and DMCI Mining Corp. (collectively known as "DMCI") violated
environmental laws in the construction and/or operation of their port in Zambales. However,
DENR and other regulatory agencies strictly monitored the development and operation of the
port, and confirmed that the Company had not violated any environmental and regulatory laws.
Thus, CA dismissed Agham's petition for lack of merit. On appeal before the Supreme Court,
the Supreme Court, through an en banc Resolution dated 18 June 2019, affirmed and upheld
the dismissal of the case by CA.
There were no matters submitted to vote of the security holders during the fourth quarter of
the fiscal year covered by this report.

A. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
I. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Below is a table on the net income contributions of the Company’s businesses for 2019 and 2018:
DMCI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) recorded P10.5 billion in reported net income in 2019, a 27% drop from
P14.5 billion the previous year. The decline was due mainly to the weak contributions from the coal energy,
construction, real estate and water businesses coupled with a one-time goodwill impairment of the Zambales
mine assets of DMCI Mining. Excluding the non-recurring items, core net income decreased 14% from P14.5
billion to P12.4 billion.
For the fourth quarter alone, the Company posted P1.2 billion in net income, a 70% decline from
P4.1 billion last year due mainly to the 47% reduction in contribution from SMPC and the P1.6 billion non-cash
goodwill impairment. Likewise, core net income for the quarter slipped by 25% from P4.2 billion to P3.1
billion in 2019.
The Company wrote-off the goodwill associated with the mining assets in Zambales Diversified Metals
Corporation (ZDMC) and Zambales Chromite Mining Company (ZCMC) as prevalent market conditions and
regulatory restrictions no longer support the original valuation.
The two companies were bought in 2014 when mid-grade nickel prices averaged US$49. In 2019, the average
selling price of mid-grade nickel plunged 45% to US$27, effectively reducing the saleable resource. Also, the
lack of requisite permits caused ZCMC to remain non-operational while ZDMC was unable to resume full
commercial production due to the absence of ancillary permits in other areas.
Page 20 of 59
The non-recurring losses in 2019 also includes the share in accelerated depreciation of Sem-Calaca Power
Corporation (SCPC) following the rehabilitation of its Units 1 and 2 power plants. Meanwhile, the non-
recurring items in 2018 pertains mainly to the gain on sale of land by DMCI Homes offset by the share in
accelerated depreciation of SCPC.
Full year core net income contributions from SMPC fell 23% from P7.4 billion to P5.7 billion due to the 22%
decline in average coal prices and lower generation of Calaca Units 1 and 2 following the maintenance of both
plants during the year.
DMCI Homes experienced a marked slowdown in project construction, resulting in a 4% slide in core earnings
contribution from P3.2 billion to P3 billion.
Meanwhile, share in core net income from affiliate Maynilad went down by 4% to P1.8 billion owing to higher
amortization and depreciation expenses for its capital expenditure program.
D.M. Consunji, Inc. posted a 25% drop in net income from P1.2 billion to P906 million due to the absence of
significant realized claims and savings from projects nearing completion compared to last year.
Off-grid energy business DMCI Power Corporation contributed P611 million, a 31% growth from
P465 million following the approval of a P1.13 per kwh adjustment on its non-fuel tariff for its Aborlan power
plant in Palawan.
Core net income contribution from DMCI Mining rose 56% from P117 million to P182 million due to the 82%
increase in nickel shipment.
Contributions from Parent Company and other investments slipped 6% to P223 million due to lower interest
income.
The coal and on-grid power businesses are reported under Semirara Mining and Power Corporation, a 56.65%
owned subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, Inc.
COAL
Coal production in 2019 stood at 15.2 million metric tons (MT), a 17% growth from 12.9 million MT last year.
The record high production is due mainly to increased capacity and favorable weather conditions during the
year. Strip ratio also improved from 12.0x to 11.5x in 2019. Consequently, coal sales for the year expanded by
35% to a record high of 15.6 million MT compared to 11.6 million MT in 2018. Of the total sales volume, 66%
went to export sales while the remaining are sold to power and cement plant customers. Drop in global coal
prices translated to a 22% decrease in average selling price which offset the increase in sales volume in 2019.
POWER
Power generation from 2x300 MW Units 1 and 2 and 2x150MW Units 3 and 4 totaled 3,589 GWh in 2019,
compared to 4,650 GWh last year. Unit 1 was under maintenance for nine months beginning
Page 21 of 59
December 30, 2018. Unit 2, however, ran at a de-rated capacity of 200MW for most part of the year until its
scheduled plant maintenance in October 2019. This resulted to a 54% decline in generated power from these
plants. Meanwhile, power generation of Units 3 and 4 surged by 51% from 1,368 GWh to 2,070 GWh this year
due mainly to higher availability and average capacity of both plants. Consequently, total volume sold for 2019
slipped by 20% to 3,702 GWh from 4,621 GWh last year. Lower global coal prices pushed down average selling
price of Sem-Calaca (Units 1 and 2) by 8% from last year. Meanwhile, Southwest Luzon Power Generation
(Units 3 and 4) benefited from higher WESM prices as 76% of its electricity sales went to the spot market. As a
result, its average selling price for 2019 went up by 11%.
PROFITABILITY
Consolidated net income after tax in 2019 reached P9.7 billion, 20% down from P12.0 billion last year. Net of
eliminations, the coal segment and Southwest Luzon Power and Generation (Units 3 and 4) generated a net
income of P6.2 billion and P3.5 billion, respectively, while Sem-Calaca (Units 1 and 2) generated P0.1 billion
net loss. As a result, net income contribution to the Parent Company declined by 20% from P6.8 billion in 2018
to P5.5 billion in 2019. Excluding non-recurring items, SMPC’s core income attributable to DMCI Holdings
declined 23% from P7.4 billion to P5.7 billion.
For detailed information – refer to SMPC’s SEC Form 17A filed with the SEC and PSE.
DMCI HOMES
Net income contribution of wholly owned subsidiary, DMCI Project Developer’s Inc. (PDI) amounted to
P3 billion in 2019. Excluding the one-time gain on sale of land in 2018, the Company contributed a 4% decline
from P3.2 billion earnings last year.
Realized revenues slipped by 10% from P20.6 billion to P18.6 billion in 2019 due to lower accomplishment for
the period. Meanwhile total operating costs (under cost of sales and operating expenses) declined at a slower
pace of 9% from P17.1 billion to P15.6 billion. Consequently, total operating income dropped by 15% to P2.9
billion in 2019.
Sales and reservations during the year stood at P36.7 billion, 15% down from P43.4 billion last year due mainly
to the timing of project launches.
To expand its product offering, the Company has launched four projects in various areas of Metro Manila.
Total sales value of 2019 project launches is estimated to be at P42 billion.
On the other hand, capex disbursements grew by 35% to P19.5 billion from P14.5 billion last year. Of the
amount spent in 2019, 61% went to development cost and the rest to land and asset acquisition.
MAYNILAD
Maynilad’s water and sewer service revenue in 2019 rose by 9% to P23.6 billion from P21.7 billion due to the
combined effect of the increase in tariff (basic and inflation-linked) and the number of water connections.
Page 22 of 59
Average non-revenue water at district metered area (DMA) level improved from 29.79% in 2018 to 26.39% in
2019 as a result of the 3.1% decrease in water supply coupled with the 1.6% billed volume growth during the
year.
Cash operating expenses grew by 6% to P6.6 billion due to higher personnel costs and water treatment
chemical cost for the period. Meanwhile, noncash operating expenses rose by 19% primarily driven by
increases in amortization of intangible assets which grew in line with Maynilad’s capital expenditure program.
As a result, net income of Maynilad for 2019 stood at P7.7 billion. Excluding the non-recurring items, core net
income remained flat as compared to last year. After adjustments at the consortium company level, core
equity in net earnings slipped by 4% to P1.8 billion in 2019.
In September 2019, Maynilad received a copy of a Supreme Court decision that the water concessionaires and
MWSS are jointly and severally liable for violating Section 8 of Clean Water Act. In October 2019, Maynilad
filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the decision to the Supreme Court. Before Maynilad was re-privatized in
2007, there were only two operating sewage treatment plants (“STPs”), sewerage coverage in the West Zone
was only 6% of the then 677,930 water-served domestic accounts. Maynilad has since built several new STPs,
and, as of December 2019, it has expanded its sewerage coverage to 21.2% of the now 9.7 million water-
served population.
Despite excellent record of service delivery, Maynilad continues to face uncertainties from the review of the
concession agreement. Nevertheless, Maynilad remains focused on programs to maximize water distribution
from the limited resources provided by the Angat Dam, where water levels have declined to disturbing lows.
Maynilad will continue its mission to provide safe, affordable and sustainable water solutions for healthier,
safer, and more comfortable life.
Earnings from construction business in 2019 amounted to P906 million, 25% down from P1.2 billion earnings
in 2018.
Construction revenue for the year jumped by 26% from P14.6 billion to P18.3 billion in 2019. Higher
accomplishment from ongoing projects mainly accounted for the revenue growth during the period. However,
despite the revenue growth, gross profit dropped by 7% from P2.2 billion to P2.0 billion in 2019 due to the
absence of significant realized claims and savings from projects nearing completion. Meanwhile, operating
expenses increased by 24% due mainly to taxes, salaries and information, communication and technology
(ICT)-related expenses.
Order book (balance of work) at the end of December 2019 stood at P68.2 billion compared to last year’s
P27.9 billion. Awarded projects during the year totaled P53.6 billion of which P25 billion pertains to DMCI’s
share in the balance of work of integrated joint ventures. Newly awarded projects during the year includes
Section 1 of NLEX-SLEX Connector Road of NLEX Corporation, viaduct and depot for the first phase of the
North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) project, Procurement of Trackwork, Electrical and Mechanical systems
and Integration with Existing systems for LRT Line 2 - East (Masinag) Extension Project, CAMANA Water
Reclamation Facility and the 150 MLD Laguna Lake Water Treatment Plant of Maynilad and the Mi’Casa Kaia
Phase 1 residential building of Federal Land.

DMCI POWER (SPUG)
An added growth area of the power segment is under DMCI Power Corporation (DPC), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, Inc. DPC provides off-grid power to missionary areas through long-term power
supply agreements with local electric cooperatives.
As of December 31, 2019, the total installed rated capacity is 133.92MW. Operations in Sultan Kudarat ended
in December 2018 following the expiration of the Power Supply Agreement (PSA) with Sultan Kudarat Electric
Cooperative, Inc. (SUKELCO).
Sales volume for 2019 in Masbate (120.38 GWh), Palawan (148.33 GWh) and Mindoro (61.23 GWh) totaled
329.94 GWh, a 7% growth from last year. Electricity dispatch in favor of hydropower plants in Oriental
Mindoro during the second half of 2019 were offset by higher power demand in Masbate and Palawan. On the
other hand, average selling prices increased by 5% from P13.14/kWh to P13.76/kWh due to its higher pass-
through fuel component and the effect of tariff adjustment for the Aborlan bunker. As a result, total off-grid
generation revenue rose by 11% to P4.5 billion from P4.1 billion last year. On the other hand, total costs
(under cost of sales and operating expenses) went up by 9% to P3.8 billion driven by higher fuel prices, genset
rentals and taxes.
Consequently, net income contribution of the off-grid power segment rose by 31% from P465 million in 2018
to P611 million in 2019.
DMCI MINING
The nickel and metals (non-coal) mining business is reported under DMCI Mining Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, Inc.
DMCI Mining Corporation recorded a P1.5 billion net loss in 2019 due mainly to the one-time goodwill
impairment of its Zambales mining assets. Excluding the non-recurring loss, the Company reported a 56%
improvement in net income contribution from P117 million to P182 million in 2019.
Revenues for 2019 rose by 33% to P1.6 billion due to higher shipment of lower-grade nickel ore. Nickel
shipments for the year stood at 1.2 million wet metric tons (WMT), 82% up from last year’s
643 thousand WMT. The improvement in nickel shipments is due to the resumption of operations in Berong
Nickel Corporation and Zambales Diversified Metals Corporation (ZDMC) by virtue of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Resolution dated November 2018 and September 2019,
respectively. However, average selling price declined from P1,883 per WMT to P1,374 per WMT as a result of
selling lower grade nickel during the period. Average ore grade of sold inventories stood at 1.46% in 2019
compared to 1.70% in 2018.
Total company cash cost per WMT (under cost of sales and operating expenses) amounted only to P860 per
WMT in 2019 compared from P1,250 per WMT in 2018 following the increase in nickel shipment this year.
Page 24 of 59
The Company wrote-off the P1.6 billion goodwill associated with the mining assets in ZDMC and Zambales
Chromite Mining Company (ZCMC) as prevalent market conditions and regulatory restrictions no longer
support the original valuation.
The two companies were bought in 2014 when mid-grade nickel prices averaged US$49. In 2019, the average
selling price of mid-grade nickel plunged 45% to US$27, effectively reducing the saleable resource. Also, the
lack of requisite permits caused ZCMC to remain non-operational while ZDMC was unable to resume full
commercial production due to the absence of ancillary permits in other areas.
Revenue
Consolidated revenue for 2019 jumped by 6% from P82.8 billion to P87.8 billion due to the increase in energy
generation of SLPGC (Units 3 and 4), higher WESM prices and higher accomplishment in the construction
business.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses grew by 4% to P12.2 billion in 2019 due to higher government royalties of the coal
segment. Government royalties for 2019 and 2018 amounted to P3.9 billion and P3.6 billion, respectively.
Excluding this item, operating expenses only increased by 2%.
Finance Costs
Consolidated finance costs expanded by 34% due to loan availments during the period.
Finance Income
Consolidated finance income rose by 25% due to interest received by SCPC from PSALM claims.
Page 25 of 59
Impairment of Goodwill
As a result of the analysis of the recoverable value in 2019, the P1.6 billion goodwill attributable to the
Zambales mining assets has been written-off. The decline in global nickel prices coupled with lower estimated
ore grade of reserves and certain regulatory restrictions led to the recognition of a non-cash goodwill
impairment loss for the year.
Consolidated cash expanded by 40% from P15.5 billion in December 31, 2018 to P21.6 billion in December 31,
2019. The company generated a healthy cash flow from operations amounting to
P25.1 billion which was reduced by capital expenditures and dividend payments during the year.
Receivables contracted by 3% from P16.7 billion to P16.3 billion in 2019 driven mainly by the timing of
collections and lower energy sales of SCPC.
Contract assets (current and non-current) grew by 16% due to the excess of progress of work over billed
accomplishments in the real estate and construction businesses.
Consolidated inventories jumped by 11% from P44.7 billion to P50.0 billion following the land acquisitions of
the real estate business.
Other current assets slipped by 28% to P7.3 billion due mainly to recoupment of advances to suppliers for
equipment and spare parts.
Investments in associates and joint ventures increased by 7% to P15.2 billion due to investment in a joint
venture by DMCI Homes and equity in net earnings from Maynilad.
Property, plant and equipment stood at P63.2 billion, 11% up from P57.1 billion last year. The increase was
attributed to capital expenditures in the coal, power and construction businesses.
Page 26 of 59
Pension assets and remeasurements on retirement plans (under equity) slipped by 21% and 46%, respectively.
Meanwhile, pension liabilities grew by 88% in 2019. The movements in these accounts were due mainly to the
effects of differences between actual results and previous actuarial assumptions.
Deferred tax assets rose by 84% following the additional recognition related to the net operating loss
carryover (NOLCO) of SCPC during the year.
Goodwill of P1.6 billion attributed to the Zambales mining assets of DMCI Mining was written-off in 2019 as
prevalent market conditions and regulatory restrictions no longer support the original valuation.
Right of use assets of P0.3 million and the corresponding lease liability recorded under “Other noncurrent
liabilities” were recognized in 2019 upon adoption of PFRS 16, Leases.
Other noncurrent assets expanded by 46% due to additional advances to suppliers and subcontractors which
are expected to be recouped more than 12 months.
Accounts and other payables including income tax payable increased by 11% to P24.9 billion due mainly to the
timing of payments of trade payables.
Contract liabilities (current and non-current) rose by 17% from last year due mainly to the excess of
customer’s deposit/billed accomplishments over progress of work.
Liabilities for purchased land (current and non-current) declined by 5% mainly due to payments made during
the year.
From P41.5 billion, total debt (under short-term and long-term debt) grew by 13% to P46.9 billion following
loan availments during the year.
Deferred tax liabilities dropped by 1% due mainly to the movement of deferred taxes in nickel mining
business.
Other noncurrent liabilities stood at P5.4 billion, more than doubled than last year due to the reclassification
of noncurrent trade payables which will be settled after 12 months.
Net accumulated unrealized gains on equity investments designated at FVOCI grew 19% due to the increase in
fair market value of quoted securities during the year.
Other equity increased by 53% which pertains to the additional share in other comprehensive loss in
associates.
Consolidated retained earnings stood at P64.9 billion at the end of December 2019, 7% up from
P60.7 billion after P10.5 billion of net income and payment of P6.4 billion Parent dividends.
Non-controlling interest rose by 10% as a result of the non-controlling share in the consolidated net income of
Semirara.

The Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Group”) use the following key result indicators to evaluate its
performance:
a) Segment Revenues
b) Segment Net Income (after Non-controlling Interests)
c) Earnings Per Share
d) Return on Common Equity
e) Net Debt to Equity Ratio
SEGMENT REVENUES
For the Year Variance
(in Php Millions) 2019 2018 Amount %
SEMIRARA MINING AND POWER CORPORATION P44,255 P41,968 P2,287 5%
DMCI HOMES 18,584 20,572 (1,988) -10%

PARENT & OTHERS 468 430 38 9%
TOTAL REVENUE P87,761 P82,843 P4,918 6%
The initial indicator of the Company’s gross business results is seen in the movements in the different business
segment revenues. As shown above, consolidated revenue grew 6% mainly driven by the increase in energy
generation of SLPGC (Units 3 and 4), higher WESM prices and higher accomplishment in the construction
business.
The net income (after non-controlling interest) of the Company have multiple drivers for growth from
different business segments. The weak contributions from SMPC, D.M. Consunji, Inc., DMCI Homes and
Maynilad coupled with the one-time goodwill impairment in 2019 resulted to the 27% decline in consolidated
net income.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD DECEMBER 31, 2018
I. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Below is a table on the net income contributions of the Company’s businesses for 2018 and 2017:
DMCI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) recorded P14.5 billion in reported net income in 2018, a 2% slip
from P14.8 billion the previous year. The construction, real estate, off-grid power, water and nickel
mining businesses delivered healthy returns but the weaker performance of the coal energy business
tempered the consolidated net income for the year.
Excluding the non-recurring items in 2018 and 2017, core net income of DMCI Holdings receded 4%
from P15 billion to P14.5 billion.
The non-recurring items in 2018 pertains mainly to a P715 million gain on sale of land by DMCI
Homes and P679 million share in accelerated depreciation of Sem-Calaca Power Corporation (SCPC)
due to rehabilitation of Units 1 and 2 power plants.
Meanwhile, non-recurring items in 2017 include a P117 million share in Maynilad’s redundancy and
right-sizing costs and P164 million mainly coming from the share in accelerated depreciation of SCPC.
DMCI Holdings posted a 3% improvement in consolidated revenues from P80.7 billion to P82.8 billion
driven by strong performance of the construction, real estate, off-grid power and nickel mining
businesses.
Page 31 of 59
For the fourth quarter alone, the Company recorded P3 billion in consolidated net income, nearly
unchanged from P3.1 billion in 2017. Likewise, consolidated revenues slightly grew by 1% from
P22.3 billion in 2017 to P22.5 billion in 2018.
Net income contributions from SMPC fell 14% from P8 billion to P6.8 billion due to nearly 8-month
shutdown of Southwest Luzon Power Generation Corporation (Unit 1), inclement weather and
China’s soft ban on coal imports. Excluding non-recurring items, SMPC’s core income attributable to
DMCI Holdings declined 8% from P8.1 billion to P7.4 billion.
DMCI Homes registered a 9% increase in net income from P3.6 billion to P3.9 billion owing to a 3%
rise in revenues and a one-time gain of P715 million on sale of land. Excluding the non-recurring
item, core net income of DMCI Homes went down by 11% due to higher cost of materials and impact
of adoption of a new accounting standard, particularly on the recording of broker’s commission,
which increased cost of sales.
Meanwhile, share in net income from affiliate Maynilad increased 7% from P1.6 billion to P1.8 billion
following a 3% increase in billed volume which was boosted by an inflation rate adjustment of 2.8%
in January and 2.7% basic charge increase in October. Excluding non-recurring items, share in
Maynilad’s core income increased by 4% to P1.8 billion.
Net income contributions from D.M. Consunji, Inc. jumped 16% from P1 billion to P1.2 billion due to
a 12% increase in revenues and recognition of variation orders from projects nearing completion.
Off-grid energy business DMCI Power saw its net earnings surge 30% from P359 million to P465
million. The double-digit growth was driven by a 25% increase in energy sales volume.
DMCI Mining registered modest growth in 2018 as its net income climbed 4% from P113 million to
P117 million. The increase was due to a 22% rise in nickel shipment volume of higher-grade nickel.
DMCI Holdings and other investments rose 200% from P79 million to P237 million due to higher
interest income.
The coal and on-grid power businesses are reported under Semirara Mining and Power Corporation,
a 56.65% owned subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, Inc.
COAL
Coal production in 2018 stood at 12.9 million metric tons (MT), slightly lower by 2% from 13.2 million
MT last year. Continuous heavy rains caused the slowdown in production specifically during the third
quarter of the year. With lower production and China’s soft ban on imported coal in Q4, coal sales
Page 32 of 59
volume dropped 12% from 13.1 million MT to 11.6 million MT. Domestic coal sales reached 6.6
million MT accounting for 57% of the total sales volume, while the balance pertains to coal exports.
Average selling price rose by 18% due to higher global coal prices which tempered the drop in sales
volume. On the other hand, strip ratio during the year increased to 12.0:1 from 9.5:1 due mainly to
the ongoing rehabilitation of Panian mine. Excluding the rehabilitation, strip ratio in 2018 actually
stood within normal range at 10.2:1.
POWER
Power generation from 2x300 MW of Sem-Calaca (3,282 GWh) and 2x150MW of Southwest Luzon
Power Generation (1,368 GWh) totaled 4,650 GWh in 2018 compared to 5,202 GWh last year. The
11% drop was mainly due to the prolonged shutdown of Unit 1 of Southwest Luzon Power
Generation. Consequently, total volume sold in 2018 stood at 4,621 GWh, 10% down from 5,159
GWh sold last year. Meanwhile, higher global coal prices pushed average selling price of Sem-Calaca
up by 10% from last year. However, the expiration of higher-priced power supply agreement (PSA) of
Southwest Luzon Power Generation have pulled down its average selling price by 11% in 2018.
PROFITABILITY
Consolidated net income after tax in 2018 reached P12.0 billion, 15% down from P14.2 billion last
year. Net of eliminations, the coal segment generated a net income of P5.9 billion, while Sem-Calaca
and Southwest Luzon Power Generation generated P4.5 billion and P1.6 billion, respectively. As a
result, net income contribution to the Parent Company declined by 14% from P8.0 billion in 2017 to
P6.8 billion in 2018. Excluding non-recurring items, SMPC’s core income attributable to DMCI
Holdings declined 8% from P8.1 billion to P7.4 billion.
For detailed information – refer to SMPC Information Statement filed with SEC and PSE.
DMCI HOMES
Net income contribution of wholly owned subsidiary, DMCI Project Developer’s Inc. (PDI) amounted
to P3.9 billion in 2018, a 9% rise from P3.6 billion the previous year. Excluding the gain on sale of
undeveloped land of P0.7 billion, the Company contributed P3.2 billion net income, a 11% slip from
last year.
Realized revenues for the period jumped by 3% from P19.9 billion to P20.6 billion in 2018. Following
the percentage of completion method, revenues are recognized based on the progress of its project
development and at least 15 percent of the contract price has been collected from the buyer. Below
15 percent collections are recognized under “Contract liabilities” account.
On the other hand, total costs (under cost of sales and operating expenses) grew at a faster pace
from P15.7 billion to P17.1 billion in 2018. The 9% increase is attributed mainly to higher cost of
Page 33 of 59
construction materials and business taxes. The adoption of the new accounting standard,
particularly on the recording of broker’s commission, also increased cost of sales.
Sales and reservations surged 14% from P38.0 billion in 2017 to P43.4 billion this year buoyed by
strong demand for residential condominium coming from new launches as well as existing projects.
During the year, the Company has launched new projects located in various areas of Metro Manila
with total estimated sales value of P27.8 billion.
On the other hand, capex disbursements grew by 19% to P14.5 billion from P12.2 billion last year. Of
the amount spent in 2018, 77% went to development cost and the rest to land and asset acquisition.
MAYNILAD
The Company’s investment in the water business is recognized mainly through its equity investment
in the partnership with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) and Marubeni Corporation of
Japan, with the actual operations under Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad).
Maynilad handles the water distribution and sewer services for the western side of Metro Manila and
parts of Cavite.
During the year, billed volume grew by 3%, from 511.66 million cubic meters (mcm) to 527.15 mcm.
The improvement in the billed volume was brought about by the increase in billed services through
its continued expansion mostly in the southern areas of the concession, namely in Cavite,
Muntinlupa, Las Piñas and Paranaque. Consequently, total billed services in 2018 stood at 1,407,503
, a 3.6% growth from last year.
Average non-revenue water at district metered area (DMA) level improved from 32.26% in 2017 to
29.79% in 2018 as a result of the 0.6% marginal decrease in water supply coupled with higher billed
volume growth during the year.
Maynilad’s water and sewer service revenue rose by 7.3% to P21.7 billion from P20.2 billion last year
driven by higher billed volume coupled with a favorable customer mix, inflation rate adjustment of
2.8% in January 2018 and the tariff adjustment of 2.7% in October 2018.
Cash operating expenses declined by 4.6% after savings in personnel cost coming from the
redundancy and right-sizing program last year. Meanwhile, non-cash operating expenses rose by
14.7% primarily driven by increases in amortization of intangible assets which grew in line with
Maynilad’s continuing capital expenditure program.
As a result, Maynilad reported a net income of P7.3 billion in 2018, a 7% improvement from P6.8
billion last year.
Page 34 of 59
After adjustments at the consortium company level, the Company’s equity in net earnings reported a
7% growth from P1.6 billion in 2017 to P1.8 billion in 2018. Excluding the share in one-time loan
refinancing cost in 2018 and one-time cost of the right-sizing program in 2017, equity in net earnings
rose by 4% to
P1.8 billion.
However, the matter of Maynilad’s tariffs for the entire 2013-2017 five-year Business Plan period and
two related arbitration awards in its favor, remain unresolved. In summary:
In 2015, Maynilad received an arbitration award in its favor against the Metropolitan
Waterworks and Sewerage System (“MWSS”), which centered on treatment of Corporate
Income Tax as an expense to be recovered through the tariff. The dispute on implementing
this tariff is working its way through the Philippine Court System with MWSS now seeking
recourse to the Supreme Court following awards in Maynilad’s favor by lower courts.
On 24th July 2017, Maynilad was notified by an arbitration panel in Singapore that it had
ruled in Maynilad’s favor on its claim to recover from the Republic of the Philippines (“RoP”)
revenues forgone because of the failure to increase tariff. On 4th October 2018, the
Singapore High Court upheld the award in favor of Maynilad and dismissed RoP’s Setting
Aside Application in February 2018.
Maynilad is striving to meet its service obligations but financing these requires resolution of the
remaining claim and tax recovery matters.
Earnings from construction business expanded by 16% from P1.0 billion in 2017 to P1.2 billion in
2018.
Construction revenue for the year improved by 12% from P13.1 billion to P14.6 billion in 2018.
Higher accomplishment from ongoing building projects and new energy projects mainly accounted
for the revenue growth during the period. Meanwhile, gross profit for the period jumped by 17% to
P2.2 billion in 2018 due to realization of variation orders for projects nearing completion.
Order book (balance of work) at the end of December 2018 stood at P27.9 billion, 12% up from
P24.8 billion at the close of 2017. Awarded projects during the year totaled P12.3 billion which
includes Civil Works for Plant Expansion Project of JG Summit Petrochemical Corp., Metro Manila
Skyway Stage 3 Nagtahan Rampway of Citra Central Expressway Corp., Pasay Trenchless Pipelaying of
Maynilad, and various building projects including SM Mall of Asia Block 4 of SM Prime Holdings,

Connor of Ortigas & Co., De La Salle College of St. Benilde Academic, Sports and Dormitory Buildings
and The Estate Makati of ST 6747 Resources Corporation (a joint venture of SM Development
Corporation and Federal Land).
An added growth area of the power segment is under DMCI Power Corporation (DPC), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, Inc. DPC provides off-grid power to missionary areas through
long-term power supply agreements with local electric cooperatives.
As of December 31, 2018, the total installed rated capacity is 106.18MW. Out of the total, 34.69MW
(12.40MW bunker-fired and 22.29MW diesel) is in Masbate, 52.24MW (9.90MW bunker-fired and
42.34MW diesel) in Palawan, 15.56MW bunker-fired plant in Oriental Mindoro and 3.69MW diesel-
fired in Sultan Kudarat.
Sales volume reported in Masbate (110.92 GWh), Palawan (130.69 GWh) and Mindoro (66.27 GWh)
totaled 307.89 GWh, a 25% growth from last year due mainly to higher power demand and improved
load across all operating segments. On the other hand, average selling prices for the period increased
by 21% from P10.84/kWh to P13.15/kWh due to its higher pass-through fuel component brought
about by increasing fuel prices. As a result, total off-grid generation revenue rose by 50% to P4.1
billion from
P2.7 billion last year. On the other hand, total costs (under cost of sales and operating expenses)
went up by 55% to P3.5 billion also driven by higher fuel prices.
Consequently, net income contribution of the off-grid power segment in 2018 rose by 30% from
P359 million in 2017 to P465 million in 2018.
DMCI MINING
The nickel and metals (non-coal) mining business is reported under DMCI Mining Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, Inc.
DMCI Mining Corporation registered a modest growth of 4% in net income contribution from
P113 million to P117 million in 2018.
Revenue rose by 60% to P1.2 billion in 2018 from P759 million in 2017 due to the 22% growth in
nickel shipment of higher-grade ore. From 525 thousand wet metric tons (WMT), total shipments
jumped to 643 WMT in 2018 mostly coming from Berong Nickel Corporation (BNC). Nickel ore
shipments came from the existing stockpiles in response with the order to remove such from the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Meanwhile, average ore grade improved
from 1.51% in 2017 to 1.70% in 2018. As a result, composite average price increased to P1,883 per
WMT in 2018 from P1,446 per WMT in 2017.
Page 36 of 59
The segment’s total depletion, depreciation and amortization amounted to P116 million in 2018, a
5% increase from P110 million in 2017 mainly coming from depreciation and depletion cost carried in
shipped inventory. Meanwhile, total cash cost per WMT (under cost of sales and operating expenses)
amounted to P1,250 per WMT in 2018 compared to P1,123 per WMT in 2017 due to higher cost of
environmental activities as required by DENR.
BNC is allowed to resume mining operations by virtue of a DENR Resolution lifting its Suspension
Order. Meanwhile, DENR has resolved to partially grant the Motion for Reconsideration filed by
Zambales Diversified Metals Corporation (ZDMC). ZDMC has since then submitted and secured
approval of its Action Plan for the DENR findings. Upon full accomplishment of its Action Plan, the
resumption of ZDMC’s mine operations shall be recommended and ordered by DENR.
Revenue
Consolidated revenue rose by 3% from P80.7 billion in 2017 to P82.8 billion in 2018. The higher
accomplishment in the construction business, increasing demand in the off-grid power business,
increase in real estate sales and higher nickel shipments more than offset the drop in SMPC during
the year.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in 2018 amounted to P31.0 billion, 10% down from P34.5 billion last year due mainly to
the prolonged shutdown of SLPGC Unit 1 and the higher cost of materials and reclassification of
broker’s commission of the real estate business.
Operating Expenses
Government royalties amounted to P3.6 billion in 2018, a 17% decline from P4.3 billion last year due
to higher cash cost of the coal business during the year. Excluding government royalties, operating
expenses actually dropped by 7% after reclassification of the commission expense of the real estate
business.
Finance Costs
Consolidated finance costs grew by 30% due to new loan availments from coal and power businesses.
Page 37 of 59
Finance Income
Consolidated finance income expanded by 76% due to higher financing income from real estate
business and higher interest income from placements during the period.
Other Income-net
Other income rose by 58% due mainly to the gain on sale of undeveloped land of DMCI Homes during
the period.
Consolidated cash contracted by 39% from P25.3 billion in December 31, 2017 to P15.5 billion in
December 31, 2018. The company generated a healthy cash flow from operations amounting to
P18.1 billion but higher dividends and capital expenditures during the year reduced the ending cash
balance as of year-end.
Total receivables including contract assets (current and non-current) increased by 12% from P29.6
billion to P33.2 billion mainly attributed to higher recognized revenues from the real estate business
and the timing of collection of power receivables.
Consolidated inventories expanded by 29% from P34.7 billion to P44.7 billion coming mainly from
higher coal inventory and spare parts inventory for coal and on-grid power businesses as well as land
acquisitions of the real estate business.
Other current assets rose to P10.1 billion, a 22% increase due mainly to advances to suppliers for
equipment and spare parts.
Investments in associates and joint ventures jumped by 6% to P14.2 billion due mainly to the equity
in net earnings from Maynilad.
Property, plant and equipment stood at P57.1 billion, 2% up from P55.7 billion last year. The increase
was attributed to capital expenditures in the coal and power businesses which were offset by the
depreciation and depletion during the period.
Page 38 of 59
Investment properties slipped by 19% due mainly to change in use of a property.
Deferred tax assets grew by 42% due mainly to unrealized profit that are taxable during the year but
not yet recognized as accounting income.
Pension assets, pension liabilities and remeasurements on retirement plans (under equity) slipped by
10%, 15% and 10%, respectively, due mainly to changes in the discount rate used in the actuarial
valuation for 2018.
Other noncurrent assets expanded by 235% due mainly to the noncurrent portion of the “costs to
obtain contract” of the real estate business. Following the adoption of the new accounting standard,
total sales commission to real estate agents are capitalized under “costs to obtain contract” with the
related commission payable recorded under liabilities. The capitalized cost is amortized using
percentage of completion (POC) method consistent with the real estate revenue recognition policy.
Accounts and other payables including income tax payable increased by 19% to P22.5 billion coming
mainly from the current portion of commission payable to real estate agents.
Contract liabilities (current and non-current) in 2018 rose 7% from last year due mainly to billings in
excess of total costs incurred and earnings recognized in the construction business.
Liabilities for purchased land declined by 10% mainly due to payments made during the year.
From P39.5 billion, total debt (under short-term and long-term debt) grew by 5% to P41.5 billion
following loan availments of the coal and power businesses.
Deferred tax liabilities grew by 19% due mainly to the excess of book over tax income in real estate.
Other noncurrent liabilities jumped by 10% coming mainly from the noncurrent portion of the
commission payable to real estate agents.
Treasury shares pertain to redemption cost during the year of the parent company’s preferred
shares.
Premium on acquisition of non-controlling interests increased by 37% which pertains to the buyback
of Semirara shares in 2018.
Net accumulated unrealized gains on equity investments designated at FVOCI grew 115% due to the
increase in fair market value of quoted securities during the year.
Consolidated retained earnings stood at P60.7 billion at the end of December 2018, 4% up from
P58.3 billion after P14.5 billion of net income and payment of P12.7 billion Parent dividends.
Page 39 of 59
Non-controlling interest rose by 7% as a result of the non-controlling share in the consolidated net
income of Semirara.
The Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Group”) use the following key result indicators to evaluate its
performance:
f) Segment Revenues
g) Segment Net Income (after Non-controlling Interests)

The initial indicator of the Company’s gross business results is seen in the movements in the different
business segment revenues. As illustrated above, revenue grew by 3% mainly driven by the higher
accomplishments in the construction business, increasing demand in the off-grid power business,
increase in real estate sales and higher shipments in the nickel mining business. The drop in
Semirara’s revenue was brought about by lower energy generation and fewer coal sales volume for
the year.
The Company’s consolidated basic and diluted EPS was P1.09/share for the year ended December 31,
2018, a 2% drop from P1.11/share EPS year-on-year.
Total borrowings stood at P41.5 billion from P39.5 billion last year, which resulted to a net debt to
equity ratio of 0.27:1 as of December 31, 2018 and 0.15:1 as of December 31, 2017.

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of DMCI Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019
and 2018, 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, 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated
financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2019 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs).
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.
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 each 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.
For real estate contracts, the following matters are significant to our audit because these involve the
application of significant judgment and estimation around the: (a) assessment of the probability that the
entity will collect the consideration from the buyer; (b) determination of the transaction price;
(c) application of the output method as the measure of progress in determining real estate revenue;
(d) determination of the actual costs incurred as cost of sales; and (e) recognition of cost to obtain a
contract.
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 (buyer’s equity).
Management regularly evaluates the historical sales cancellations and back-outs as support of its
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 output method.
This method measures progress based on physical proportion of work done on the real estate project
which requires technical determination by the Group’s specialists (i.e., project engineers).
The Group’s cost of sales are determined based on the actual costs incurred on materials, labor and
overhead.
The Group identifies sales commission after contract inception as the cost of obtaining the contract. For
contracts which qualified for revenue recognition, the Group capitalizes the total sales commission due to
sales agents as cost to obtain the contract and recognizes the related commission payable. The Group
uses the percentage of completion (POC) method in amortizing sales commission consistent with the
Group’s revenue recognition policy.
For construction contracts, revenues are determined using the input method, which is based on the actual
costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated cost to complete the construction projects. The
Group also recognizes, as part of its revenue from construction contracts, the effects of variable
considerations arising from various change orders and claims, to the extent that they reflect the amounts
the Group expects to be entitled to and to be received from the customers, provided that it is highly
probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized in connection with these variable
considerations will not occur in the future. We considered this as a key audit matter because this process
requires significant management judgements and estimates, particularly with respect to the identification
of the performance obligations, estimation of the variable considerations arising from the change orders
and claims and calculation of estimated costs to complete the construction projects, which requires the
technical expertise of the Group’s engineers.
Relevant disclosures related to this matter are provided in Notes 3 and 35 to the consolidated financial
statements.

Audit Response
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 agreed 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 output method in determining real estate revenue, we obtained an understanding
of the Group’s processes for determining the POC and performed tests of the relevant controls. We
obtained the certified POC reports prepared by the project engineers and assessed their competence and
objectivity by reference to their qualifications, experience and reporting responsibilities. For selected
projects, we conducted ocular inspections, made relevant inquiries and obtained the supporting details of
POC reports showing the completion of the major activities of the project.
For the cost of sales, we obtained an understanding of the Group’s cost accumulation process and
performed tests of the relevant controls. For selected projects, we traced costs accumulated, including
those incurred but not yet billed costs and uninstalled materials to supporting documents such as cost
reports, purchase orders, invoices or billings, delivery receipts and journal vouchers.
For the recognition of cost to obtain a contract, we obtained an understanding of the sales commission
process. For selected contracts, we agreed the basis for calculating the sales commission capitalized and
portion recognized in profit or loss, particularly (a) the percentage of commission due against contracts
with sales agents, (b) the total commissionable amount (i.e., net contract price) against the related contract
to sell, (c) buyers’ equity based on the collections per statement of account, and, (d) the POC against the
POC used in recognizing the related revenue from real estate sales.
Construction contracts
We inspected sample contracts and supplemental agreements (e.g., purchase orders, variation order
proposals) and reviewed management’s assessment on the identification of performance obligation within
the contract and the timing of revenue recognition. For the selected contracts with variable
considerations, we obtained an understanding of the management’s process to estimate the amount of
consideration expected to be received from the customers. For change orders and claims of sample
contracts, we compared the amounts approved by the customers against the amounts estimated by
management to be received from those customers.

For the measurement of progress of the construction projects, we obtained an understanding of the
Group’s processes to accumulate actual costs incurred and to estimate the expected cost to complete and
tested the relevant controls. We considered the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the Group’s
engineers by referencing their qualifications, experience and reporting responsibilities. We examined the
approved total estimated completion costs, any revisions thereto, and the cost report and cost-to-complete
analysis. On a sampling basis, we tested actual costs incurred through examination of invoices and other
supporting customer correspondences. We conducted ocular inspections on selected projects and inquired
the status of the projects under construction with the Group’s project engineers. We also inspected the
associated project documentation, such as accomplishment reports and variation orders, and inquired
about the significant deviations from the targeted completion. We also performed test computation of the
POC calculation of management.
Under PFRSs, the Group is required to annually test the amount of goodwill for impairment. Also, if there
are indicators of impairment, the Group is required to test the recoverability of its nonfinancial assets such
as mining properties, power plant and other property and equipment.
The Group has goodwill attributable to Zambales Diversified Metals Corporation (ZDMC) and Zambales
Chromite Mining Company, Inc. (ZCMC) amounting to = P1,637.43 million, and mining properties and
equipment with carrying value of = P736.67 million as of December 31, 2019. The suspension order in
ZDMC was lifted in September 2019. However, despite the lifting of its suspension, ZDMC was still
unable to commence full commercial production as it needed to secure ancillary permits in other areas.
On the other hand, ZCMC has an ongoing renewal of its Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA)
before its term ended in 2016. Moreover, in 2019, the Group withdrew on an ancillary contract of its gas
turbine plant which has a carrying value of P=1.29 billion as of December 31, 2019. These matters are
significant to our audit because the amounts are material to the consolidated financial statements and the
assessment of recoverability of goodwill, property, plant and equipment and mining properties requires
significant management judgment and assumptions, such as estimated timing of resumption of operations,
mine production, nickel prices, future electricity demand, electricity prices, diesel costs, price inflation
and discount rate.
Relevant information on these matters are disclosed in Notes 3, 13, 33 and 37 to the consolidated
financial statements.
Audit Response
We involved our internal specialists in evaluating the methodologies and the assumptions used in the
estimation of recoverable amounts. These assumptions include the estimated timing of resumption of
operations, mine production, nickel prices, price inflation, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates,
future electricity demand, diesel costs and discount rates. With respect to mineral production, we
compared the forecasted mine production with the three-year work program submitted by the Group to
the Mines and Geosciences Bureau and with the historical mine production output. We compared the
nickel prices, price inflation, foreign exchange rate and discount rate with externally published data.

We also discussed with management the status of renewal of the MPSA and obtained management
assessment of the potential impact of the remaining pending permits and timing of resumption of the
Group’s mining operations, particularly the recoverability of the affected assets and any potential
liabilities. With respect to future electricity demand, we tested the reasonableness of the inputs to the
forecasted revenue based on current and historical dependable capacity, electricity prices and growth rate.
We compared the electricity prices, diesel costs and inflation rate with externally published data. We
tested the parameters used in the determination of the discount rate by comparing it with the discount
rates of comparable companies.
In addition, we reviewed the Group’s disclosures about those assumptions to which the outcome of the
impairment tests is most sensitive, specifically those that have the most significant effect on the
determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and mining
properties.
The Group has recognized provision for decommissioning and mine site rehabilitation costs for the open
pit mines of its coal mining activities amounting to P
=500.09 million as of December 31, 2019. This
matter is important to our audit because the amount involved is material and the estimation of the
provision requires the exercise of significant management judgment and estimation, including the use of
assumptions such as the costs of backfilling, reforestation, rehabilitation activities on marine and
rainwater conservation and maintenance of the rehabilitated area, inflation rate, and discount rate.
Relevant information on the provision for decommissioning and mine site rehabilitation costs are
disclosed in Notes 3 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
Audit response
We evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the engineers and reviewed the relevant
comprehensive mine rehabilitation plans prepared by the Group’s Safety and Environment Department.
We obtained an understanding from the mine site engineers about their bases for identifying and
estimating the costs for various mine rehabilitation and closure activities, such as backfilling,
reforestation and maintenance of the rehabilitated area. We compared the cost estimates to billings,
invoices and official receipts. We also evaluated the discount and inflation rates used by comparing these
to external data.

The related information on the estimation of mineable ore reserves and related coal mining properties are
discussed in Notes 3 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
Audit response
We obtained an understanding of and performed test of controls on management’s processes and controls
in the estimation of mineable ore reserves. We evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of
management’s specialists, both internal and external, engaged by the Group to perform an assessment of
the ore reserves. We reviewed the internal and external specialists’ report and obtained an understanding
of the nature, scope and objectives of their work and basis of estimates, including the changes in the
reserves during the year. We also tested the application of the estimated ore reserves in the amortization
of mining properties.
As at December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the investment in Maynilad Water Holdings Company,
Inc. (MWHCI) amounting to P =14.28 billion comprises 94% of the Group’s investments in associates and
joint ventures and the Group’s equity in net earnings of MWHCI amounting to P =1.74 billion represents
17% of the 2019 net income attributable to the parent company. These are considered material to the
Group’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year then ended. In December 2019,
Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (MWSI), which accounts for more than 90% of MWHCI’s 2019 net
income, has agreed to and started discussions with the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System on
the provisions of the Concession Agreement identified for renegotiation and amendment. Under
Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 36, Impairment of Assets, this event is an impairment indicator
which requires the assessment of the recoverability of the Group’s investment in MWHCI. This matter is
significant to our audit because the net income recognized by MWHCI and the determination of the
recoverable amount of the investment in MWHCI require the use of significant judgments, estimates, and
assumptions about the future results of business such as concession period, tariff rate, revenue growth,
billed water volume, and discount rate.
The Group’s disclosures regarding this matter are included in Notes 3 and 11 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Audit Response
Our audit procedures included, among other things, obtaining the relevant financial information from
management about MWHCI and performed recomputation of the Group’s equity in net earnings of
MWHCI as recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
We involved our internal specialist in evaluating the methodology and the assumptions used in the
determination of the recoverable amount of the investment. These assumptions include the concession
period, tariff rate, revenue growth, billed water volume, and discount rate. We compared the forecast
revenue growth against the historical data of the investee and inquired from management about the plans
to support the forecasted revenue, concession period and tariff rate assumed. We also compared the
Group’s key assumptions such as water volume against historical data. We tested the discount rate used
*SGVFSM000224*

in the impairment test by comparing it with the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of other
comparable companies in the region. Furthermore, we reviewed the Group’s disclosures about those
assumptions to which the outcome of the impairment test is most sensitive, specifically those that have
the most significant effect on determining the recoverable amount of the investment.
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, 2019, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon. The SEC Form 20-IS, SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 2019 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, 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.
*SGVFSM000224*

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 a manner that achieves fair presentation.
· 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Corporate Information
DMCI Holdings, Inc. (the Parent Company) was incorporated on March 8, 1995 with a corporate life
of 50 years from and after the date of incorporation and is domiciled in the Philippines. The Parent
Company’s registered office address and principal place of business is at 3rd Floor, Dacon Building,
2281 Don Chino Roces Avenue, Makati City.
The Parent Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the Group) is primarily
engaged in general construction, coal and nickel mining, power generation, real estate development,
water concession and manufacturing.
The Parent Company’s shares of stock are listed and are currently traded at the Philippine Stock
Exchange (PSE).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the
Board of Directors (BOD) on March 5, 2020.
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared using the historical cost basis,
except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) and at fair value through
comprehensive income (FVOCI) financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The Parent
Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency is the Philippine Peso (P =). All
amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand (P =000), unless otherwise indicated.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in compliance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs), which include the availment of the relief granted by the SEC
under Memorandum Circular No. 14, Series of 2018, Memorandum Circular No. 3, Series of 2019
and Memorandum Circular No. 4, Series of 2020.
PFRSs include Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, Philippine Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC).
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and
its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2019.
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 or excluded in the consolidated
financial statements from the date the Group gains control or until the date the Group ceases to
control the subsidiary.
*SGVFSM000224*
-2-
Control is 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 result 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; and,
· The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
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.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity
holders of the Parent Company and to the noncontrolling-interests (NCI), even if these result in the
NCI having a deficit balance. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform
accounting policies for like transactions and other similar events. 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.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an
equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
· Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, the carrying amount
of any noncontrolling-interests 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 earnigns, as appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company and the
following subsidiaries (which are all incorporated and domiciled in the Philippines).

These amendments have no impact to the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Lessor accounting under PFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under
PAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in
PAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases. PFRS 16 did
not have an impact for leases where the Group is the lessor.
The Group adopted PFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach upon adoption of
PFRS 16 in 2019 and elected to apply the standard to contracts that were previously identified as
leases applying PAS 17 and Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-4. The Group will therefore not
apply the standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease applying
PAS 17 and Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-4.
The Group also applied the available practical expedients wherein it:
· Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
· Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within
12 months of the date of initial application
· Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend
or terminate the lease

With the adoption of PFRS 16 in 2019, the Group’s operating profit and interest expense
increased. This is due to the change in the accounting for rent expense related to leases that were
previously classified as operating leases under PAS 17.
The adoption of PFRS 16 did not have an impact on equity at January 1, 2019, since the Group
elected to measure the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by
the amount of any prepaid lease payments relating to these leases recognized in the consolidated
statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application.
Before the adoption of PFRS 16, the Group classified each of its leases (as lessee) at the inception
date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Upon adoption of PFRS 16, the Group applied
a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases.

benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after
that event.
b. Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment
or settlement using: the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered
under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasure
that net defined benefit liability (asset).
The amendments also clarify that an entity first determines any past service cost, or a gain or loss
on settlement, without considering the effect of the asset ceiling. This amount is recognized in
profit or loss. An entity then determines the effect of the asset ceiling after the plan amendment,
curtailment or settlement. Any change in that effect, excluding amounts included in the net
interest, is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The amendments apply to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occurring on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after January 1, 2019, with early
application permitted. These amendments will apply only to any future plan amendments,
curtailments, or settlements of the Group.
The amendments also clarified that, in applying PFRS 9, an entity does not take account of any
losses of the associate or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment,
recognized as adjustments to the net investment in the associate or joint venture that arise from
applying PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.
The amendments should be applied retrospectively and are effective from January 1, 2019, with
early application permitted. Since the Group currently does not have such long-term interests in
its associate and joint venture, the amendments did not have an impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

The Group applies significant judgment in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments.
Upon adoption of the Interpretation, the Group considered whether it has any uncertain tax
positions. The Group determined that it is probable that its tax treatments will be accepted by the
taxation authorities. The adoption of the Interpretation did not have a significant on the consolidated
financial statements of the Group.
A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain

An entity applies those amendments to borrowing costs incurred on or after the beginning of
the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies those amendments. An entity

· Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and PAS 28, Sale or Contribution
of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The amendments address the conflict between PFRS 10 and PAS 28 in dealing with the loss of
control of a subsidiary that is sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture. The
amendments clarify that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transfer to an associate or joint
venture involves a business as defined in PFRS 3, Business Combinations. Any gain or loss
*SGVFSM000224*
- 10 -
resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that does not constitute a business, however, is
recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.
On January 13, 2016, the Financial Reporting Standards Council deferred the original effective
date of January 1, 2016 of the said amendments until the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) completes its broader review of the research project on equity accounting that may
result in the simplification of accounting for such transactions and of other aspects of accounting
for associates and joint ventures.

from CUSA.
· March 2019 IFRIC Agenda Decision on Over Time Transfer of Constructed Goods (PAS 23,
Borrowing Cost) for the Real Estate Industry
In March 2019, the IFRIC issued an Agenda Decision clarifying the criteria for the capitalization
of borrowing costs in relation to the construction of residential multi-unit real estate
development which are sold to customers prior to the start of construction or completion of the
development.
Paragraph 8 of PAS 23 allows the capitalization of borrowing costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Paragraph 5 of PAS 23
defines a qualifying asset as an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use or sale. The IFRIC Agenda Decision clarified that the related assets namely,
installment contracts receivable, contract asset or inventory, are not considered qualifying assets
and therefore the corresponding borrowing cost may not be capitalized.
On February 11, 2020, the Philippine SEC issued Memorandum Circular No. 4, Series of 2020,
providing relief to the real estate industry by deferring the mandatory implementation of the
above IFRIC Agenda Decision until December 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, real estate
companies shall adopt the IFRIC Agenda Decision and any subsequent amendments thereto
retrospectively or as the SEC will later prescribe. A real estate company may opt not to avail of
the deferral and instead comply in full with the requirements of the IFRIC agenda decision.
For real estate companies that avail of the deferral, the SEC requires disclosure in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements of the accounting policies applied, a discussion of the
deferral of the subject implementation issues, and a qualitative discussion of the impact in the
financial statements had the IFRIC agenda decision been adopted.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 11 -
The Group opted to avail of the relief as provided by the SEC. Had the Group adopted the IFRIC
agenda decision, borrowing costs capitalized to real estate inventories related to projects with pre-
selling activities should have been expensed out in the period incurred. This adjustment should have
been applied retrospectively and would have resulted to restatement of prior year financial statements.
A restatement would have impacted interest expense, cost of real estate sales, provision for deferred
income tax, real estate inventories, deferred tax liability and opening balance of retained earnings.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities,
respectively.
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 by 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.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 12 -
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.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy 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 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.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on
the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above.
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.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at 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.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 13 -
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 market place (regular way trades) are recognized
on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
The Group’s financial assets comprise of financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at
FVPL and financial assets at FVOCI.
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method
and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is
derecognized, modified or impaired.
The Group classifies cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from related parties, and
refundable deposit as financial assets at amortized cost (see Notes 4, 7, 10 and 14).
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 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 fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.
The Group elected to classify irrevocably its quoted and non-listed equity investments under this
category (see Note 6).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 14 -
The Group measures its derivative as financial asset at FVPL and is carried in the consolidated
statement of financial position at fair value, with net changes in fair value recognized in the
consolidated statement of income (see Note 5).
c. Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of financial
assets) is derecognized when:
· the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired; or,
· the Group has transferred its right 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 (i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, or (ii) 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 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.
Financial liabilities
a. Initial recognition
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, either 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.
The Group’s financial liabilities comprise of financial liabilities at amortized cost including
accounts and other payables and other obligations that meet the above definition (other than
liabilities covered by other accounting standards, such as pension liabilities, income tax payable,
and other statutory liabilities).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 15 -
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 income. This category generally applies to short-term and
long-term debt.
c. Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
canceled or has expired. 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 a derecognition of the original liability
and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognized in the consolidated statement of 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 receivables, except for receivables from related parties where the Group applies general approach,
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 that is based on its historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic
environment.
For real estate Installment Contracts Receivable (ICR) and contract assets, the Group uses the vintage
analysis for ECL by calculating the cumulative loss rates of a given ICR 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 probability model. It allows the evaluation of the loan activity from
its origination period until the end of the contract period.
As these are future cash flows, these are discounted back to the time of default (i.e., is defined by the
Group as upon cancellation of CTS) using the appropriate effective interest rate, usually being the
original EIR or an approximation thereof.
For other financial assets such receivable from related parties, other receivables and refundable
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 for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure,
irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 16 -
For cash and cash equivalents, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. The probability of
default and loss given defaults are publicly available and are considered to be low credit risk
investments. It is the Group’s policy to measure ECLs on such instruments on a 12-month basis.
However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance
will be based on the lifetime ECL. The Group uses the ratings from Standard & Poor’s (S&P),
Moody’s and Fitch to determine whether the debt instrument has significantly increased in credit risk
and to estimate ECLs.
For short term investments, the Group applies the low credit risk simplication. At every reporting
date, the Group evaluates whether debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all
reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making that
evaluation, the Group reassesses the internal credit rating of the debt instrument.
In addition, the Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when
contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. A financial asset is written off when there is no
reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also
classified as held for trading, unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments as defined
by PAS 39. The Group has not designated any financial assets at FVPL as hedging instrument.
Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading are recorded in the consolidated statement of
financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value relating to the held for trading positions are
recognized in “Other income - net” account in the consolidated statement of income. Interest earned
or incurred is recorded in interest income or expense, respectively, while dividend income is recorded
when the right to receive payment has been established.
Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair
value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts
and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value though profit or loss. These
embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the
consolidated statement of income. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of
*SGVFSM000224*
- 17 -
the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a
reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category.
Financial assets may be designated at initial recognition as at FVPL if any of the following criteria
are met:
· The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would
otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on
a different basis; or
· The assets are part of a group of financial assets which are managed and their performance
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment
strategy; or
· The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative that would need to be separately
recorded.
The Group’s financial assets at FVPL pertain to investment in quoted equity securities and derivatives
arising from contracts for differences entered with a third party as disclosed in Notes 5, 10 and 14 to
consolidated financial statements and is included under ‘Other current and noncurrent assets’ in the
consolidated statement of financial position. The Group does not have any financial liability at FVPL.
AFS financial assets are classified as current asset if verified to be realized within 12 months from
reporting date.
When the fair value of AFS financial assets cannot be measured reliably because of lack of reliable
estimates of future cash flows and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair values of unquoted
equity instruments, then instruments are carried at cost less any allowance for impairment losses.
The Group’s AFS financial assets pertain to quoted and unquoted equity securities and are included in
‘Other current assets’ in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or
group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be
impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events
that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event
(or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of
financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that
the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or
delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other
financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the
*SGVFSM000224*
- 18 -
estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with
defaults.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated
future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the
financial assets’ original EIR (i.e., the EIR computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of
the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is charged to the
consolidated statement of income during the period in which it arises. Interest income continues to be
recognized based on the original EIR of the asset. Receivables, together with the associated
allowance accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all
collateral has been realized.
If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event
occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is
reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement
of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the
reversal date.
For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of
such credit risk characteristics as industry, customer type, customer location, past-due status and
term. Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment
are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics
similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable
data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical
loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not
exist currently. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are
reviewed annually by the Group to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss
experience.
In case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, impairment would include a
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is
evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost
and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in
the consolidated statement of income, is removed from equity and recognized in the consolidated
statement of income under “Other income – net” account. Impairment losses on equity investments
*SGVFSM000224*
- 19 -
are not reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Increases in fair value after
impairment are recognized directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Embedded Derivative
The Group assesses the existence of an embedded derivative on the date it first becomes a party to the
contract, and performs re-assessment where there is a change to the contract that significantly
modifies the cash flows.
Embedded derivatives are bifurcated from their host contracts and carried at fair value with fair value
changes recognized in the consolidated statement of income, when the entire hybrid contracts
(composed of both the host contract and the embedded derivative) are not accounted for as financial
instruments designated at FVPL when their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and
closely related to those of their respective host contracts; and when a separate instrument with the
same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative.

Real estate held for sale and development consists of condominium units and subdivision land for
sale and development.
Condominium units and subdivision land for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost and net
realizable value (NRV). Costs include acquisition costs of the land, plus costs incurred for the
construction, development and improvement of residential units. Borrowing costs are capitalized
while the development and construction of the real estate projects are in progress, and to the extent
that these are expected to be recovered in the future. NRV is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to
make the sale.
The costs of inventory recognized in profit or loss on disposal is determined with reference to the
specific costs incurred on the property sold and an allocation of any non-specific costs based on the
relative size of the property sold.
Valuation allowance is provided for real estate held for sale and development when the NRV of the
properties are less than their carrying amounts.
Coal Inventory
The cost of coal inventory is carried at the lower of cost and NRV. NRV is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale for coal
inventory. Cost is determined using the weighted average production cost method.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 20 -
The cost of extracted coal includes all stripping costs and other mine related costs incurred during the
period and allocated on per metric ton basis by dividing the total production cost with the total
volume of coal produced. Except for shiploading cost, which is a period cost, all other production
related costs are charged to production cost.
Materials in Transit
Cost is determined using the specific identification basis.
Equipment parts and supplies are transferred from inventories to property, plant and equipment when
the use of such supplies is expected to extend the useful life of the asset and increase its economic
benefit. Transfers between inventories to property, plant and equipment do not change the carrying
amount of the inventories transferred and they do not change the cost of that inventory for
measurement or disclosure purposes.
Equipment parts and supplies used for repairs and maintenance of the equipment are recognized in
the consolidated statement of income when consumed.
NRV for supplies and fuel is the current replacement cost. For supplies and fuel, cost is also
determined using the moving average method and composed of purchase price, transport, handling
and other costs directly attributable to its acquisition. Any provision for obsolescence is determined
by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any
provision or obsolescence.
Other assets
Other current and noncurrent assets, which are carried at cost, pertain to resources controlled by the
Group as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the
Group.
*SGVFSM000224*

The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority within 12 months
from end of reporting period is presented as current; otherwise the amount is presented as noncurrent.
Joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed
sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities
require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those
necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investments in associates and joint
ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, the investments in associate or joint venture is initially recognized at cost.
The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Group’s share of net
assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or
joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortized and is not
tested for impairment individually.
The consolidated statement of income reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the
associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s
OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate or
joint venture, the Group recognizes its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated
statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the
Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or
joint venture.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and joint venture is shown on the
face of the consolidated statement of income outside operating profit and represents profit or loss
after tax and noncontrolling-interests in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture. If the
Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate
or joint venture, the Group discontinues recognizing its share to the extent of the interest in associate
or joint venture.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 22 -
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as
the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those
of the Group.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group
measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the
carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control
and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in consolidated
statement of income.
Investment Properties
Investment properties comprise completed property and property under construction or
redevelopment that are held to earn rentals or capital appreciation or both and that are not occupied by
the Group.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties, except land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization and any impairment in value. Land is stated 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 costs of day-to-day servicing
of an investment property.
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. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period of derecognition.
Depreciation and amortization of investment properties are computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives (EUL) of assets of 12 to 25 years.
The assets’ residual value, useful life, and depreciation and amortization method are reviewed
periodically to ensure that the period and method of depreciation and amortizations are consistent
with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of investment property.
A transfer is made to investment property when there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of
owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or
development. A transfer is 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 sale. A transfer between investment property, owner-occupied property and inventory does
not change the carrying amount of the property transferred nor does it change the cost of that property
for measurement or disclosure purposes.
*SGVFSM000224*

License costs paid in connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area are capitalized
and amortized over the term of the permit. Once the legal right to explore has been acquired,
exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged to consolidated statement of income as incurred,
unless the Group’s management concludes that a future economic benefit is more likely than not to be
realized. These costs include materials and fuel used, surveying costs, drilling costs and payments
made to contractors.
In evaluating whether the expenditures meet the criteria to be capitalized, several different sources of
information are used. The information that is used to determine the probability of future benefits
depends on the extent of exploration and evaluation that has been performed.
Expenditure is transferred from ‘Exploration and evaluation asset’ to ‘Mining properties’ which is a
subcategory of ‘Property, plant and equipment’ once the work completed to date supports the future
development of the property and such development receives appropriate approvals. After transfer of
the exploration and evaluation asset, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or
completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalized in ‘Mining properties and equipment’.
Development expenditure is net of proceeds from the sale of ore extracted during the development
phase.
Stripping Costs
As part of its mining operations, the Group incurs stripping (waste removal) costs both during the
development phase and production phase of its operations. Stripping costs incurred in the
development phase of a mine, before the production phase commences (development stripping), are
capitalized as part of the cost of mining properties and subsequently amortized over its useful life
using units-of-production method. The capitalization of development stripping costs ceases when the
mine/component is commissioned and ready for use as intended by management.
After the commencement of production further development of the mine may require a phase of
unusually high stripping that is similar in nature to development phase stripping. The costs of such
stripping are accounted for in the same way as development stripping (as discussed above).
Stripping costs incurred during the production phase are generally considered to create two benefits,
being either the production of inventory or improved access to the coal body to be mined in the
future. Where the benefits are realized in the form of inventory produced in the period, the
production stripping costs are accounted for as part of the cost of producing those inventories.
Where the benefits are realized in the form of improved access to ore to be mined in the future, the
costs are recognized as a noncurrent asset, referred to as a stripping activity asset, if the following
criteria are met:
· Future economic benefits (being improved access to the coal body) are probable;
· The component of the coal body for which access will be improved can be reasonably
identified; and,
· The costs associated with the improved access can be reliably measured.
If all of the criteria are not met, the production stripping costs are charged to the consolidated
statement of income as operating costs as they are incurred.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 24 -
In identifying components of the body, the Group works closely with the mining operations
department for each mining operation to analyze each of the mine plans. Generally, a component will
be a subset of the total body, and a mine may have several components. The mine plans, and
therefore the identification of components, can vary between mines for a number of reasons. These
include, but are not limited to: the type of commodity, the geological characteristics of the ore/coal
body, the geographical location, and/or financial considerations.
The stripping activity asset is initially measured at cost, which is the accumulation of costs directly
incurred to perform the stripping activity that improves access to the identified component of ore/coal
body, plus an allocation of directly attributable overhead costs. If incidental operations are occurring
at the same time as the production stripping activity, but are not necessary for the production
stripping activity to continue as planned, these costs are not included in the cost of the stripping
activity asset. If the costs of the inventory produced and the stripping activity asset are not separately
identifiable, a relevant production measure is used to allocate the production stripping costs between
the inventory produced and the stripping activity asset. This production measure is calculated for the
identified component of the ore/coal body and is used as a benchmark to identify the extent to which
the additional activity of creating a future benefit has taken place.
The stripping activity asset is accounted for as an addition to, or an enhancement of, an existing asset,
being the mine asset, and is included as part of ’Mining properties and equipment’ under ‘Property,
plant and equipment’ in the consolidated statement of financial position. This forms part of the total
investment in the relevant cash generating unit (CGU), which is reviewed for impairment if events or
changes of circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The stripping activity asset is subsequently depreciated using the units-of-production method over the
life of the identified component of the coal body that became more accessible as a result of the
stripping activity. Economically recoverable reserves, which comprise proven and probable reserves,
are used to determine the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore/coal body. The
stripping activity asset is then carried at cost less depreciation and any impairment losses.
The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import
duties, taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and
location for its intended use. Costs also include decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs.
Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as
repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs, are normally charged to operations 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, plant and
equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as
additional cost of property, plant and equipment.
Construction-in-progress included in property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. This includes
the cost of the construction of property, plant and equipment and other direct costs. Construction-in-
progress is not depreciated until such time that the relevant assets are completed and put into
operational use.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 25 -
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of assets commences once the assets are put into operational
use.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of property, plant and equipment are calculated on a
straight-line basis over the following EUL of the respective assets or the remaining contract period,
whichever is shorter:
Years
Land improvements 5-17
Power plant, buildings and building improvements 5-25
Coal mining properties and equipment 2-13
Nickel mining properties and equipment 2-5
Construction equipment, machinery and tools 5-10
Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-5
Transportation equipment 4-5
Leasehold improvements 5-7
The EUL and depreciation, depletion and amortization methods are reviewed periodically to ensure
that the period and methods of depreciation, depletion and amortization are consistent with the
expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. 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 item) is included in the consolidated statement of income in the year the item
is derecognized.
Coal and nickel mining properties are amortized using the units-of-production method. Coal and
nickel mining properties consists of mine development costs, capitalized cost of mine rehabilitation
and decommissioning (refer to accounting policy on “Provision for mine rehabilitation and
decommissioning”), stripping costs (refer to accounting policy on “Stripping Costs”) and mining
rights. Mine development costs consist of capitalized costs previously carried under “Exploration and
Evaluation Asset”, which were transferred to property, plant and equipment upon start of commercial
operations. Mining rights are expenditures for the acquisition of property rights that are capitalized.
The net carrying amount of mining properties is depleted using unit-of-production method based on
the estimated economically, legal and environmental saleable reserves of the mine concerned which is
based on the current market prices, and are written-off if the property is abandoned.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 26 -
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets and software costs acquired separately are capitalized at cost and are shown as part
of the “Other noncurrent assets” account in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Following initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization
and provisions for impairment losses, if any. The useful lives of intangible assets with finite life are
assessed at the individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite life are amortized over their EUL.
The periods and method of amortization for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed
annually or earlier where an indicator of impairment exists.
Costs incurred to acquire and bring the computer software (not an integral part of its related
hardware) to its intended use are capitalized as part of intangible assets. These costs are amortized
over their EUL ranging from three (3) to five (5) years. Costs directly associated with the
development of identifiable computer software that generate expected future benefits to the Group are
recognized as intangible assets. All other costs of developing and maintaining computer software
programs are recognized as expense when incurred.
Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the
consolidated statement of income when the asset is derecognized.
· The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for
use or sale
· Its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset
· How the asset will generate future economic benefits
· The availability of resources to complete the asset
· The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
· The ability to use the intangible asset generated
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost
less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset
begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the
period of expected future benefit. Amortization is recorded as part of cost of sales in the consolidated
statement of income. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Investment Properties, Right-of-Use Assets and Intangible Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that these assets may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required,
the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the
higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use and is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that largely
independent of those from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its 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
*SGVFSM000224*
- 27 -
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset.
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates
used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If
that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That
increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation, depletion and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in
prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income unless the asset is
carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
Equity
Capital Stock
Capital stock consists of common and preferred shares which are measured at par value for all shares
issued. When the Group issues more than one class of stock, a separate account is maintained for
each class of stock and the number of shares issued.
When the shares are sold at a premium, the difference between the proceeds and the par value is
credited to ‘Additional paid-in capital’ account. When shares are issued for a consideration other
than cash, the proceeds are measured by the fair value of the consideration received. Direct cost
incurred related to the equity issuance, such as underwriting, accounting and legal fees, printing costs
and taxes are charged to ‘Additional paid-in capital’ account.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 28 -
Treasury Shares
Treasury shares pertains to own equity instruments which are reacquired and are carried at cost and
are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue
or cancellation of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments. When the shares are retired, the
capital stock account is reduced by its par value and excess of cost over par value upon retirement is
debited to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the specific or average additional paid in capital
when the shares were issued and to retained earnings for the remaining balance.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings represent accumulated earnings of the Group, and any other adjustments to it as
required by other standards, less dividends declared. The individual accumulated earnings of the
subsidiaries are available for dividend declaration when these are declared as dividends by the
subsidiaries as approved by their respective BOD.
Dividends on common shares are deducted from retained earnings when declared and approved by
the BOD or shareholders of the Parent Company. Dividends payable are recorded as liability until
paid. Dividends for the year that are declared and approved after the reporting date, if any, are dealt
with as an event after the reporting date and disclosed accordingly.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and financial liabilities assumed
for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of
embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date
through consolidated statement of income. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the
acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value
of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in
accordance with PFRS 9 either in consolidated statement of income or as a change to OCI. If the
contingent consideration is not within the scope of PFRS 9, it is measured in accordance with the
appropriate PFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not measured and
subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at costs being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognized for noncontrolling-interests and any previous interest held over
the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the consideration is lower than the fair
value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in consolidated
statement of income.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 29 -
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at costs less any accumulated impairment losses. For
the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit
from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to
those units.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is
disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount
of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of
in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the
portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
If the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end
of the period in which the combination is effected because either the fair values to be assigned to the
acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or the cost of the combination can be
determined only provisionally, the acquirer shall account for the combination using those provisional
values. The acquirer shall recognize any adjustments to those provisional values as a result of
completing the initial accounting within 12 months of the acquisition date as follows: (i) the carrying
amount of the identifiable asset, liability or contingent liability that is recognized or adjusted as a
result of completing the initial accounting shall be calculated as if its fair value at the acquisition date
had been recognized from that date; (ii) goodwill or any gain recognized shall be adjusted by an
amount equal to the adjustment to the fair value at the acquisition date of the identifiable asset,
liability or contingent liability being recognized or adjusted; and (iii) comparative information
presented for the periods before the initial accounting for the combination is complete shall be
presented as if the initial accounting has been completed from the acquisition date.
Revenue from local and export coal sales are denominated in Philippine Peso and US Dollar
(US$), respectively.
Cost of coal includes directly related production costs such as materials and supplies, fuel and
lubricants, labor costs including outside services, depreciation and amortization, cost of
decommissioning and site rehabilitation, and other related production overhead. These costs are
recognized when incurred.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 30 -
· Nickel Mining
Revenue is recognized when control passes to the customer, which occurs at a point in time when
the beneficiated nickel ore/nickeliferous laterite ore is physically transferred onto a vessel or onto
the buyer’s vessel.
Cost of nickel includes cost of outside services, production overhead, personnel cost and
depreciation, amortization and depletion that are directly attributable in bringing the inventory to
its saleable condition. These are recognized in the period when the goods are delivered.
· Merchandise Sales
Revenue from merchandise sales is recognized upon delivery of the goods to and acceptance by
the buyer and when the control is passed on to the buyers.
In measuring the progress of its performance obligation over time, the Group uses output method.
The Group recognizes revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to customers of
the goods or services transferred to date, relative to the remaining goods or services promised
under the contract. Progress is measured using survey of performance completed to date. This is
based on the monthly project accomplishment report prepared by the third party engineer as
approved by the construction manager which integrates the surveys of performance to date of the
construction activities for both sub-contracted and those that are fulfilled by the developer itself.
Any excess of progress of work over the right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional,
recognized as installment contract receivables, under trade receivables, is included in the “contract
asset” account in the asset section of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Any excess of collections over the total of recognized installment contract receivables is included
in the “Contract liabilities” account in the liabilities section of the consolidated statement of
financial position.
The Group recognizes costs relating to satisfied performance obligations as these are incurred
taking into consideration the contract fulfillment assets such as land and connection fees. These
include costs of land, land development costs, building costs, professional fees, depreciation,
permits and licenses and capitalized borrowing costs. 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.
In addition, the Group recognizes as an asset these costs that give rise to resources that will be
used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and that are expected to be recovered.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 31 -
· Electricity Sales
Revenue from sale of electricity is derived from its primary function of providing and selling
electricity to customers of the generated and purchased electricity. The Group recognizes revenue
from contract energy sales over time, using output method measured principally on actual energy
delivered each month.
Revenue from spot electricity sales is derived from the sale to the spot market of excess generated
electricity over the contracted energy using price determined by the spot market, also known as
Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM), the market where electricity is traded, as mandated
by Republic Act (RA) No. 9136 of the Department of Energy (DOE). Revenue is recognized over
time using output method measured principally on actual excess generation delivered to the grid
and sold to WESM.
Under PFRS 15, the Group has concluded that revenue should be recognized over time since the
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the seller supplies power. In this
case, any fixed capacity payments for the entire contract period is determined at contract inception
and is recognized over time. The Group has concluded that revenue should be recognized over
time and will continue to recognize revenue based on amounts billed.
Cost of electricity sales includes costs directly related to the production and sale of electricity such
as cost of coal, coal handling expenses, bunker, lube, diesel, depreciation and other related
production overhead costs. Cost of electricity sales are recognized at the time the related coal,
bunker, lube and diesel inventories are consumed for the production of electricity. Cost of
electricity sales also includes electricity purchased from the spot market and the related market
fees. It is recognized as cost when the Group receives the electricity and simultaneously sells to its
customers.
Contract costs include all direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to
contract performance. Expected losses on onerous contracts are recognized immediately when it
is probable that the total unavoidable contract costs will exceed total contract revenue. The
amount of such loss is determined irrespective of whether or not work has commenced on the
contract; the stage of completion of contract activity; or the amount of profits expected to arise on
other contracts, which are not treated as a single construction contract. Changes in contract
performance, contract conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from
contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements that may result in revisions to estimated
costs and gross margins are recognized in the year in which the changes are determined. Profit
incentives are recognized as revenue when their realization is reasonably assured.
The asset “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, which is
presented under “Contract assets”, represents total costs incurred and estimated earnings
recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated

Contract Balances
Receivables
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e.,
only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the
customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer
pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned
consideration that is conditional.
For the Group’s real estate segment, contract assets are initially recognized for revenue earned from
development of real estate projects as receipt of consideration is conditional on successful completion
of development. Upon completion of development and acceptance by the customer, the amounts
recognized as contract assets are reclassified to receivables. It is recognized as “contract asset”
account in the consolidated statement of financial position.
For the Group’s construction segment, contract asset arises from the total contract costs incurred and
estimated earnings recognized in excess of amounts billed.
A receivable (e.g., ICR, receivable from construction constracts), represent the Group’s right to an
amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before
payment of consideration is due).
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.
For the Group’s real estate segment, contract liability arises when the payment is made or the
payment is due (whichever is earlier) from customers before the Group transfers goods or services to
the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs
(generally measured through POC) under the contract. The contract liabilities also include payments
received by the Group from the customers for which revenue recognition has not yet commenced.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 33 -
For the Group’s construction segment, contract liability arises from billings in excess of total costs
incurred and estimated earnings recognized.
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 these criteria requires the application
of judgement, 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 as
included in the ‘Inventory’ account in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Amortization, derecognition and impairment of contract fulfillment assets and capitalized costs to
obtain a contract
The Group amortizes contract fulfillment assets and capitalized costs to obtain a contract to cost of
sales over the expected construction period using percentage of completion following the pattern of
real estate revenue recognition. The amortization is included within cost of sales.
A contract fulfillment asset or capitalized costs 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 contract fulfillment
asset or capitalized cost to obtain a contract may be 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, judgement 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, there judgements are also relevant in determining
whether or not an onerous contract provision is required and how this is to be measured.
*SGVFSM000224*

Coal Mining
Revenue from coal mining is recognized upon acceptance of the goods delivered upon which the
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the amount of
revenue can be measured reliably.
Cost of coal includes directly related production costs such as materials and supplies, fuel and
lubricants, labor costs including outside services, depreciation and amortization, cost of
decommissioning and site rehabilitation, and other related production overhead. These costs are
recognized when incurred.
Nickel Mining
Revenue from sale of beneficiated nickel ore/nickeliferous laterite ore is recognized when the
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, which coincides
with the loading of the ores onto the buyer vessel.
Cost of nickel includes cost of outside services, production overhead, personnel cost and depreciation,
amortization and depletion that are directly attributable in bringing the inventory to its saleable
condition. These are recognized in the period when the goods are delivered.
Construction Contracts
Revenue from construction contracts is recognized using the POC method of accounting and is
measured principally on the basis of the estimated proportion of costs incurred to date over the total
budget for the construction (Cost-to-cost method). Contracts to manage, supervise, or coordinate the
construction activity of others and those contracts wherein the materials and services are supplied by
contract owners are recognized only to the extent of the contracted fee revenue using POC. Revenue
from cost plus contracts is recognized by reference to the recoverable costs incurred during the period
plus the fee earned, measured by the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total
costs of the contract. Contract revenue is comprised of amount of revenue agreed in the contract and
variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments.
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. The amount of such loss is determined
irrespective of whether or not work has commenced on the contract; the stage of completion of
contract activity; or the amount of profits expected to arise on other contracts, which are not treated as
a single construction contract. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions and estimated
profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements
that may result in revisions to estimated costs and gross margins are recognized in the year in which
the changes are determined. Profit incentives are recognized as revenue when their realization is
reasonably assured.

The asset “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” represents
total costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability
“Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in
excess of total costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized. Contract retentions are presented as
part of “Trade receivables” under the “Receivables” account in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
Electricity Sales
Revenue from sale of electricity is derived from its primary function of providing and selling
electricity to customers of the generated and purchased electricity. Revenue derived from the
generation and/or supply of electricity is recognized based on the actual electricity nominated or
received by the customer, net of adjustments, as agreed upon between parties.
Revenue from spot electricity sales is derived from the sale to the spot market of excess generated
electricity over the contracted energy using price determined by the spot market, also known as
WESM, the market where electricity is traded, as mandated by Republic Act (RA) No. 9136 of DOE.
Revenue is recognized based on the actual excess generation delivered to the WESM.
Cost of electricity sales includes costs directly related to the production and sale of electricity such as
cost of coal, coal handling expenses, bunker, lube, diesel, depreciation and other related production
overhead costs. Cost of electricity sales are recognized at the time the related coal, bunker, lube and
diesel inventories are consumed for the production of electricity. Cost of electricity sales also
includes electricity purchased from the spot market and the related market fees. It is recognized as
expense when the Group receives the electricity and simultaneously sells to its customers.
Any excess of collections over the recognized receivables are included in the “Customers’ advances
and deposits” account in the liabilities section of the consolidated statement of financial position.
When a sale of real estate does not meet the requirements for revenue recognition, the sale is
accounted for under the deposit method. Under this method, revenue is not recognized, and the
receivable from the buyer is not recorded. The real estate inventories continue to be reported on the
consolidated statement of financial position as “Real estate held for sale and development” under
“Inventories” account and the related liability as deposits under “Customers’ advances and deposits”.
Cost of real estate sales is recognized consistent with the revenue recognition method applied. Cost
of subdivision land and condominium units sold before the completion of the development is
determined on the basis of the acquisition cost of the land plus its full development costs, which
include estimated costs for future development works, as determined by the Group’s in-house
technical engineers.
*SGVFSM000224*

Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which is
generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Rental Income
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties and construction equipment is
accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest method.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are expenses that arise in the course of the ordinary operations of the Group.
These usually take the form of an outflow or depletion of assets such as cash and cash equivalents,
supplies, investment properties and property, plant and equipment. Expenses are recognized in the
consolidated statement of income when 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 respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they
occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of
funds.
The interest capitalized is calculated using the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowings after
adjusting for borrowings associated with specific developments. Where borrowings are associated
with specific developments, the amounts capitalized is the gross interest incurred on those borrowings
less any investment income arising on their temporary investment. Interest is capitalized from the
commencement of the development work until the date of practical completion. The capitalization of
borrowing costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted.
Borrowing costs are also capitalized on the purchased cost of a site property acquired specially for
development but only where activities necessary to prepare the asset for development are in progress.
*SGVFSM000224*

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency rate at the date of
the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at
the functional currency closing rate at the reporting date. All differences are taken to consolidated
statement of income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of initial transactions. Non-monetary
items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value was determined.
Pension Cost
The Group has a noncontributory defined benefit multi-employer retirement plan.
The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit
obligation 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 plans is actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method.
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 actuaries.
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.
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 other comprehensive income 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 obligations). If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the present value of the
defined benefit obligation, 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.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 38 -
The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined
benefit obligation 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.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on
the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:
(a) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;
(b) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension
was initially included in the lease term;
(c) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or
(d) There is substantial change to the asset.
Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the
change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c), or (d) and at the date of
renewal or extension period for scenario (b).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 39 -
Right-of-use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost
of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred,
and lease payments made at or before the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on
a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the underlying
assets.
“Right-of-use assets” are presented under noncurrent assets in the consolidated statement of financial
position and are subject to impairment.
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 the lease, if the lease term reflects
the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index
or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in
which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the
lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in 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 lease payments
(e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such
lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its leases of office spaces, storage and
warehouse spaces that have lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not
contain a purchase option. Lease payments on these short-term leases are recognized as expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income Taxes
Current Tax
Current 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 amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 40 -
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences, with certain
exceptions, at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences with certain exception.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefit of
unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular corporate
income tax (RCIT) and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that
taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward
benefits of unused tax credits from MCIT and NOLCO can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on nontaxable temporary differences associated with
investments in domestic associates and investments in joint ventures.
The carrying amount of deferred 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 assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred 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 or part of the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rate and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantially enacted at the financial reporting date. Movements in the deferred income
tax assets and liabilities arising from changes in tax rates are charged against or credited to income for
the period.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets relate to the same taxable
entity and the same taxation authority.
For periods where the income tax holiday (ITH) is in effect, no deferred taxes are recognized in the
consolidated financial statements as the ITH status of the subsidiary neither results in a deductible
temporary difference or temporary taxable difference. However, for temporary differences that are
expected to reverse beyond the ITH, deferred taxes are recognized.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income for the year attributable to equity holders of the
Parent Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year
adjusted for the effects of dilutive convertible redeemable preferred shares. Diluted EPS assumes the
conversion of the outstanding preferred shares. When the effect of the conversion of such preferred
shares is anti-dilutive, no diluted EPS is presented.
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 serves different markets. The Group generally accounts for
intersegment revenues and expenses at agreed transfer prices. Income and expenses from
*SGVFSM000224*
- 41 -
discontinued operations are reported separate from normal income and expenses down to the level of
income after taxes. Financial information on operating segments is presented in Note 35 to the
consolidated financial statements.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized only when the Group has: (a) a present obligation (legal or constructive) as
a result of a past event; (b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. 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.
The obligation generally arises when the asset is installed or the ground environment is disturbed at
the production location. When the liability is initially recognized, the present value of the estimated
cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets. Over time, the
discounted liability is increased for the change in present value based on the discount rates that reflect
current market assessments and the risks specific to the liability. The periodic unwinding of the
discount is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as a finance cost. Additional
disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions or charges to the
corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability when they occur. For closed sites, changes to
estimated costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These are disclosed
unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent
assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements when an inflow of
economic benefits is probable.
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with PFRS
requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The judgments, 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. Actual results
could differ from such estimates.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 42 -
Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could differ for such estimates.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, apart from those involving estimations which have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Determining the Lease Term of Contracts with Renewal and Termination options - Group as lessee
(Upon Adoption of PFRS 16)
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any
periods covered by an option to extend 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 applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not 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 either 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 to
terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the
leased asset).
The Group did not include the renewal and termination period of several lease contracts since the
renewal and termination options is based on mutual agreement, thus not enforceable (see Note 34).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 43 -
In measuring the progress of its performance obligation over time, the Group uses the output method.
This method measures progress based on physical proportion of work done on the real estate project
which requires technical determination by the Group’s specialists (project engineers).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 44 -
On the other hand, the Group’s revenue from power sales is to be recognized over time because the
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. The fact that
another entity would not need to re-perform the delivery of power that the Group has provided to date
demonstrates that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Group’s
performance obligation
The Group has determined that output method used in measuring the progress of the performance
obligation faithfully depicts the Group’s performance of its obligation to its customers, since the
customer obtains the benefit from the Group’s performance based on actual energy delivered each
month.
In determining whether the sales prices are collectible, the Group considers that initial and continuing
investments by the buyer reaching a level of collection would demonstrate the buyer’s commitment to
pay. Management regularly evaluates the historical cancellations and back-outs if it would still
support its current threshold of buyers’ equity before allowing revenue recognition.
Some of the criteria include, but are not limited to the following:
· the level of capital expenditure compared to construction cost estimates;
· completion of a reasonable period of testing of the property and equipment;
· ability to produce ore in saleable form; and,
· ability to sustain ongoing production of ore.
When a mine development project moves into the production stage, the capitalization of certain mine
construction costs ceases and costs are either regarded as inventory or expensed, except for
capitalizable costs related to mining asset additions or improvements, mine development or mineable
reserve development. It is also at this point that depreciation or depletion commences.
Determination of Components of Ore Bodies and Allocation of Measures for Stripping Cost
Allocation
The Group has identified that each of its two active mine pits, Narra and Molave, is a whole separate
ore component and cannot be further subdivided into smaller components due to the nature of the coal
seam orientation and mine plan.
Judgment is also required to identify a suitable production measure to be used to allocate production
stripping costs between inventory and any stripping activity asset(s) for each component. The Group
considers that the ratio of the expected volume of waste to be stripped for an expected volume of ore
*SGVFSM000224*
- 45 -
to be mined for a specific component of the coal body (i.e., stripping ratio) is the most suitable
production measure. The Group recognizes stripping activity asset by comparing the actual stripping
ratio during the year for each component and the component’s mine life stripping ratio.
The Group controls an investee if and only if it has all the following:
a. power over the investee;
b. exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
c. the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
Ownership interests in URHI and TMM represent 30% and 40%, respectively. The stockholders of
these entities signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that gives the Group the ability to
direct the relevant activities and power to affect its returns considering that critical decision making
position in running the operations are occupied by the representatives of the Group.
DPDI ownership interest of 4.62% in Celebrity Sports Plaza, Inc. (CSPI) is accounted for as an
investment in associate. DPDI exercises significant influence in CSPI as its key management
personnels are members of the BOD and participates in the policy-making processes of CSPI.
DPDI entered into a joint venture agreement with Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) in which RLC
DMCI Property Ventures, Inc. (RDPVI) was incorporated and each party held 50% ownership
interest in the RDPVI. The investment was accounted as joint venture using equity method of
accounting as the contractual arrangement between the parties establishes joint control.
a. Mining
Revenue Recognition
The Group’s revenue recognition policies require management to make use of estimates and
assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of the revenues and receivables. The Group’s
sales arrangement with its customers includes reductions of invoice price to take into
consideration charges for penalties and upward adjustments due to quality of ore. These price
adjustments may arise from the actual quantity and quality of delivered ore.
There is no assurance that the use of estimates may not result in material adjustments in future
periods. Revenue from coal mining amounted to = P29,085.43 million, =P23,185.66 million and
=23,489.59 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue from nickel mining amounted
P
to =
P1,610.30 million, =
P1,211.75 million and = P759.27 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017,
respectively (see Note 35).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 46 -
The carrying values of mining properties and mining rights, included in property, plant and
equipment as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position amounted to
=9,029.43 million and =
P P9,359.08 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively (see Note 13).
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the provision for decommissioning and mine site
rehabilitation for coal mining activities amounted to =P500.09 million and P
=402.48 million,
respectively. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, provision for decommissioning and mine site
rehabilitation costs for the nickel mining activities amounted to =
P30.35 million and
=43.14 million, respectively (see Note 20).
P
b. Construction
Revenue Recognition - Construction Contracts
The Group’s construction revenue is based on the POC method measured principally on the basis
of total actual cost incurred to date over the estimated total cost of the project. Actual cost
incurred to date includes labor, materials and overhead which are billed and unbilled by
contractors. The Group also updates the estimated total cost of the project based on latest
*SGVFSM000224*
- 47 -
discussions with customers to include any revisions to the job order sheets and the cost variance
analysis against the supporting details. The POC method is applied to the contract price after
considering approved change orders.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss
shall be recognized as an expense immediately. The amount of such a loss is determined
irrespective of:
The Group regularly reviews its construction projects and used the above guidance in determining
whether there are projects with contract cost exceeding contract revenues. Based on the best
estimate of the Group, adjustments were made in the books for those projects with expected
losses in 2019 and 2018. There is no assurance that the use of estimates may not result in
material adjustments in future periods. Revenue from construction contracts amounted to
=18,302.49 million, P
P =14,581.41 million and = P13,066.38 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017,
respectively (see Note 35).
The Group estimates the transaction price for the variation orders based on a probability-weighted
average approach (expected value method) based on historical experience.
c. Real estate
Revenue Recognition – Real Estate Sales
The assessment process for the percentage-of completion and the estimated project development
costs requires technical determination by management’s specialists (project engineers) and
involves significant management judgment. The Group applies POC method in determining real
estate revenue. The POC is measured principally on the basis of the estimated completion of a
physical proportion of the contract work based on the inputs of the internal project engineers.
d. Power
Estimating Provision for Decommissioning and Site Rehabilitation Costs
The Group is contractually required to fulfill certain obligations under Section 8 of the Land
Lease Agreement (LLA) upon its termination or cancellation. Significant estimates and
assumptions are made in determining the provision for site rehabilitation as there are numerous
factors that will affect the ultimate liability. These factors include estimates of the extent and
costs of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, regulatory changes, cost increases, and
changes in discount rates. Those uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing
from the amounts currently provided. An increase in decommissioning and site rehabilitation
costs would increase the property, plant and equipment and increase noncurrent liabilities.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 48 -
The provision at the reporting date represents management’s best estimate of the present value of
the future rehabilitation costs required. Assumptions used to compute the provision for
decommissioning and site rehabilitation costs are reviewed and updated annually.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the estimated provision for decommissioning and site
rehabilitation costs amounted to =
P22.72 million and =
P20.92 million, respectively (see Note 20).
Vintage Analysis calculates the vintage default rate of each period through a ratio of default
occurrences of each given point in time in that year to the total number of receivable issuances or
occurrences during that period or year. The rates are also determined based on the default
occurrences of customer segments that have similar loss patterns (i.e., by payment scheme).
The vintage analysis is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group
will adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. For instance,
if forecast economic conditions (i.e., bank lending rates and interest rates) are expected to deteriorate
over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults, the historical default rates are
adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the
forward-looking estimates are analysed.
The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic
conditions 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.
Trade Receivables
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates are
based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns
(i.e., by customer type).
The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group
calibrates the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information
such as inflation and foreign exchange rates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default
rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed. The above assessment
resulted to an additional allowance of P =12.22 million and P =30.83 million in 2019 and 2018,
respectively (see Notes 7 and 25).
Receivables of the Group that were impaired and fully provided with allowance amounted to
=1,697.30 million and =
P P1,687.40 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
(see Note 7).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 49 -
For 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 real estate inventories. In determining the
recoverability of the inventories, management considers whether those inventories are damaged or if
their selling prices have declined.
For inventories such as equipment parts, materials in transit and supplies, the Group’s estimate of the
NRV of inventories is based on evidence available at the time the estimates are made of the amount
that these inventories are expected to be realized. These estimates consider the fluctuations of price
or cost directly relating to events occurring after the end of the reporting period to the extent that such
events confirm conditions existing at reporting date. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for
any period would differ if different judgments were made or different estimates were utilized.
Likewise, management also considers whether the estimated costs of completion or the estimated
costs to be incurred to make the sale have increased. In the event that NRV is lower than the cost, the
decline is recognized as an expense. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period
would differ if different judgments were made or different estimates were utilized.
Estimating Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment (see ‘Estimation of Minable Ore
Reserves” for the Discussion of Amortization of Coal Mining Properties)
The Group estimated the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment based on the period over
which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant
and equipment 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 factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful
lives of property, plant and equipment would increase depreciation expense and decrease noncurrent
assets.
The Group incurred a loss from property, plant and equipment write-down due to the replacement of

(nil in 2018; see Notes 13 and 25).
In 2017, the BOD approved the rehabilitation of SCPC’s Units 1 and 2 coal-fired thermal power
plant. The rehabilitation of Units 1 and 2 coal fired power plant resulted to the recording of
accelerated depreciation amounting to =P549.95 million and P =1,210.10 million in 2019 and 2018,
respectively. The Group did not expect any salvage values for the parts to be replaced.
The carrying value of property, plant and equipment of the Group amounted to = P63,216.45 million
and P
=57,086.94 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (see Note 13).

In 2019, the Group wroteoff goodwill amounting to P =1.64 billion as prevalent market conditions and
regulatory restrictions no longer support its previous assessment and valuation (see Note 33).
When indicators exist, an impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. Assets that are subject to impairment testing when impairment
indicators are present are as follows:

Other noncurrent assets (Note 14) 5,853,254 3,833,723
In 2019, the Group assessed that an indicator of impairment exists for the ancillary gas turbine plant
of SLPGC due to its withdrawal on ancillary contract with NGCP (see Note 37). However, no
impairment was recognized by the Group since management estimated that the recoverable amount
exceeds the carrying value of ancillary gas turbine plant as of December 31, 2019. The recoverable
amount was computed using discounted cash flows approach and considered certain assumptions,
such as future electricity demand, electricity prices, diesel costs, inflation rate and discount rate. As
of December 31, 2019, the carrying value of ancillary gas turbine recorded as part of property, plant
and equipment amounted to P =1.29 billion and =
P1.20 billion, respectively (see Note 13).
In December 2019, Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (MWSI), a subsidiary of Maynilad Water Holdings
Company, Inc. (MWHCI), has agreed to and started discussions with the Metropolitan Waterworks
and Sewerage System on the provisions of the Concession Agreement identified for renegotiation and
amendment. This event was considered an impairment indicator which requires the assessment of the
recoverability of the Group’s investment in MWHCI. The determination of the recoverable amount
*SGVFSM000224*
- 51 -
of the investment in MWHCI was determined using assumptions such as future tariff rates, revenue
growth, billed water volume, and discount rate. No impairment loss was recognized as a result of the
test. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the investment in MWHCI amounted
to =
P14.28 billion and =
P13.83 billion, respectively (see Note 11).
In addition, management also recognized provision for impairment loss on other current assets
amounting to P =123.53 million in 2019, since management assessed that the carrying amount of these
assets are not recoverable (nil in 2018 and 2017, see Note 25). Allowance for impairment losses as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to P =142.68 million and P
=19.15 million, respectively.
Management believes that no impairment indicator exists for the Group’s other nonfinancial assets.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 52 -
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 mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific country and is
modified accordingly with estimates of mortality improvements. Future salary increases and pension
increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Contingencies
The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings and taxation matters. The estimate of
the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside
counsel handling the defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The
Group currently does not believe these proceedings will have a material effect on the Group’s
financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially
affected by changes in the evaluation of the case, the estimates of potential claims or in the
effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings (see Notes 28 and 37).

In February 2017, the Group entered into a five-year option agreement (until December 2021) with a
retail electricity supplier (RES) with respect to its exposure to the WESM which does not constitute
the supply of power by the Group to the RES. The option agreement stipulates the rights and
obligations of the Group which includes the right to receive a fixed ‘Exposure Guarantee Fee’ and the
obligation to pay a variable ‘Exposure Adjustment’, depending on the behavior of the electricity spot
price in the WESM against the agreed ‘Strike Price’, adjusted by the various indices and rates, as
determined on a monthly basis. This qualified as a derivative but was not designated as a hedging
instrument against the Group’s exposure in the WESM.

The fair value of the derivative was determined using the market data approach, Monte Carlo

of the complexities in the option agreement such as the optionality of the payoff and variability of
strike price, the MCS methodology is deemed appropriate for the valuation. Management uses
published BVAL reference rates by the Bankers Association of the Philippines (BAP) in interpolation
of discount rate.
The Group is finalizing its discussion with the RES to pre-terminate the agreement. The pre-
termination will not constitute any default of either party and shall not give rise to any termination
fee.

Real estate
Real estate receivables consist of accounts collectible in equal monthly principal installments with
various terms up to a maximum of 10 years. These are recognized at amortized cost using the EIR
method. The corresponding titles to the residential units sold under this arrangement are transferred
to the buyers only upon full payment of the contract price. Installment contracts receivable are
collateralized by the related property sold. In 2019 and 2018, annual interest rates on installment
contracts receivable range from 9.00% to 19.00%. Interest on installment contracts receivable
amounted to = P277.66 million, P=253.29 million and P=169.13 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017,
respectively (see Note 26).
*SGVFSM000224*

The Group entered into various receivable purchase agreements with various local financial
institutions whereby the Group sold its installment contracts receivable on a “with recourse basis” in
the aggregate credit facility agreement totaling to P
=8,427.55 million.
The Group retains the assigned receivables in the “real estate receivables” account and records the
proceeds from these sales as long-term debt (see Note 19). The carrying value of installment
contracts receivable sold with recourse amounted to = P118.91 million and =
P372.44 million as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The installment contracts receivable on a with recourse
basis are used as collaterals for the bank loans obtained.
Electricity sales
Receivables from electricity sales are claims from power distribution utilities, spot market operator
and other customers for the sale of contracted energy and spot sales transactions. These are generally
on a 30-day credit term and are carried at original invoice amounts, less discounts and rebates.
In December 2018, the Group entered into a Receivable Purchase Agreement with a local bank for
the sale of receivables with a full recourse amounting to P
=1,272.23 million. Proceeds from the
financing amounted to P =1,268.03 million. Discount arising from this agreement was recognized as
‘Finance cost’ in the consolidated statement of income in 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the
carrying values of the assigned receivables and short-term loan amounted to =P1,272.23 million
(see Note 15). The Group has collected the assigned receivables and paid the short-term loan in
January 2019.
Construction contracts
Receivables from construction contracts principally consist of receivables arising from third-party
construction projects. These also include retention receivables on uncompleted contracts amounting
to =
P2,631 million and = P2,799 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Retention
receivables pertain to the part of the contract which the contract owner retains as security and shall be
released after the period allotted as indicated in the contract for the discovery of defects and other
non-compliance from the specifications indicated.
Other receivables
Other receivables include claims from Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management (PSALM)
and National Power Corporation (NPC) for the recovery of amounts charged and withheld by
PSALM for spot purchases of the Group in connection with NPC’s over nomination of bilateral
contracted capacity to a distribution utility company for the period January to June 2010 (see
Note 37). The claim amounting to P =476.70 million was recognized by the Group as other income in
2017 after the Supreme Court has issued an Entry of Judgement in favor of the Group (see Note 28).
In 2019, the related interest income amounting to =P180.19 million was also granted to SCPC. The
total receivable was collected in full in 2019.

The aggregate fair values of the investment properties as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted
to =
P181.43 million and P
=199.14 million, respectively.
The fair values of investment properties were determined using either the income approach using
discounted cash flow (DCF) method or by the market data approach. These are both categorized
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of investment properties, which has been
determined using DCF method with discount rates ranging from 3.42% to 4.06%, exceeds its carrying
cost. The fair values of the investment properties which were arrived at using the market data
approach require the establishment of comparable properties by reducing reasonable comparative
sales and listings to a common denominator. This is done by adjusting the differences between the
subject property and those actual sales and listings regarded as comparables. The properties used as
basis of comparison are situated within the immediate vicinity of the subject property.

In 2018, as required by DENR, the Group accelerated the rehabilitation activities of its Panian
minesite. This resulted to recognition of additional provision for mine site rehabilitation costs
amounting to P=436.52 million which was charged to ‘Cost of sales’ (nil in 2019, see Note 24). This
also prompted management to revisit procedures, practices and assumptions used in the estimation of
the provision (e.g., movement of the overburden and backfill elevation level), which resulted to
adjustments in the related mining assets recognized under ‘Property, plant and equipment’. These
adjustments amounted to P =83.72 million and P=218.20 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively (see
Note 13).

supervision of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Plan. The responsibilities of the BOT, among
others, include the following:
· To hold, invest and reinvest the fund for the exclusive benefits of the members and beneficiaries
of the retirement plan and for this purpose the BOT is further authorized to designate and appoint
a qualified Investment Manager with such powers as may be required to realize and obtain
maximum yield on investment of the fund; and,
· To make payments and distributions in cash, securities and other assets to the members and
beneficiaries of the Plan.

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 cost of defined benefit pension plans and the present value of the pension obligation are
determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions.
The principal assumptions used in determining pension and post-employment medical benefit
obligations for the defined benefit plans are shown below:
The weighted average duration of significant defined benefit obligation per segment are as follows
(average number of years):
2019
Construction and others 11 years
Coal mining 5 years
Nickel mining 11 years
Real estate development 14 years
Power - On grid 10 years
Power - Off grid 11 years
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.
There was no plan amendment, curtailment, or settlement recognized for the year ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018.
*SGVFSM000224*

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.

before they become due. For this reason, the amount and timing of contributions to the Retirement
Fund are at the Group’s discretion. However, in the event a benefit claim arises and the Retirement
Fund is insufficient to pay the claim, the shortfall will then be due and payable from the Group to the
Retirement Fund.

The DOE issued Coal Operating Contract (COC) to SMPC which gives it the exclusive right to
conduct exploration, development and coal mining operations on Semirara Island. In return for the
mining rights granted to SMPC, the Government is entitled to receive annual royalty payments
consisting of the balance of the gross income after deducting operating expenses, operator’s fee and
special allowance. The DOE, through the Energy Resources Development Bureau, approved the
exclusion of coal produced and used solely by SMPC to feed its power plant in determining the
amount due to DOE. SMPC’s provision for DOE’s share under this contract and to the different LGU

33. Goodwill
Goodwill arising from business combination in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position relates to the acquisition of the nickel mining entities with operations in Zambales area. The
goodwill recognized amounting to P =1,637.43 million comprises the expected cash flows generated
from the mining rights and properties mainly attributable to CGUs of ZDMC and ZCMC. These
entities were acquired by the Group to strengthen its strategic objective in the nickel mining segment.
Goodwill is tested for impairment on annual basis by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGUs
based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets covering the
expected mine production. The calculation of the discounted cash flow of the CGUs is most sensitive
to the assumptions on mine production, discount rate, nickel prices, price inflation and the estimate
timing of resumption of operations.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options
are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align
with the Group’s business needs. Management exercises significant judgement in determining
whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised (see Note 3).

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated
based on revenue, earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) and operating profit or loss, and is measured consistently in the consolidated financial
statements. The Group’s management reporting and controlling systems use accounting policies that
are the same as those described in Note 2 in the summary of significant accounting policies under
PFRSs.
EBITDA is the measure of segment profit (loss) used in segment reporting and comprises of
revenues, cost of sales and services and selling and general administrative expenses before interest,
taxes and depreciation and amortization.
The Group disaggregates its revenue information in the same manner as it reports its segment
information. The Group, through its on-grid power segment, has electricity sales to a power
distribution utility company that accounts for about 7% and 10% of the Group’s total revenue in 2019
and 2018, respectively.
Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are also managed per
operating segments. Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a
manner similar to transactions with third parties.
Business Segments
The following tables present revenue, net income and depreciation and amortization information
regarding business segments for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and property,

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise interest-bearing loans and borrowings. The
main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise financing for its operations and capital
expenditures. The Group also has various significant other financial assets and liabilities, such as
receivables and payables which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the use of financial instruments are liquidity risk, market risk and credit
risk. The Group’s BOD reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks and they are
summarized below.
a. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated
with financial liabilities. 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.
A significant part of the Group’s financial assets that are held to meet the cash outflows include
cash equivalents and accounts receivables. Although accounts receivables are contractually
collectible on a short-term basis, the Group expects continuous cash inflows. In addition,
although the Group’s short-term deposits are collectible at a short notice, the deposit base is
stable over the long term as deposit rollovers and new deposits can offset cash outflows.
Moreover, the Group considers the following as mitigating factors for liquidity risk:
· It has available lines of credit that it can access to answer anticipated shortfall in sales and
collection of receivables resulting from timing differences in programmed inflows and
outflows.
· It has very diverse funding sources.
· It has internal control processes and contingency plans for managing liquidity risk. Cash
flow reports and forecasts are reviewed on a weekly basis in order to quickly address
liquidity concerns. Outstanding trade receivables are closely monitored to avoid past due
collectibles.
· 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 on-shore and
off-shore which is included in the Group’s corporate planning for liquidity management.
The following table summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial assets and financial
liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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.

b. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may
result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument
may change as a result of changes in equity prices, market prices, interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates.
The assumption used in calculating the sensitivity analyses of the relevant income statement item
is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial
assets and financial liabilities held at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Quoted securities are subject to price risk due to changes in market values of instruments arising
either from factors specific to individual instruments or their issuers or factors affecting all
instruments traded in the market. The Group’s market risk policy requires it to manage such risks
by setting and monitoring objectives and constraints on investments; diversification plan; and
limits on investment in each industry or sector.
The analyses below are performed for reasonably possible movements in the Philippine Stock
Exchange (PSE) index for quoted shares and other sources for golf and club shares with all other
variables held constant, showing the impact on equity:
Effect on equity
Change in variable (Other comprehensive income)
2019 2018 2019 2018
PSE +21.01% +14.42% (P
=2,388) (P
=260)
-21.01% -14.42% 2,388 260
The sensitivity analyses shown above are based on the assumption that the movement in PSE
composite index and other quoted equity securities will be most likely be limited to an upward or
downward fluctuation of 21.01% and 13.56% in 2019 and 14.42% and 47.89% in 2018,
respectively.
The Group, used as basis of these assumptions, the annual percentage change in PSE composite
index and annual percentage change of quoted prices as obtained from published quotes of golf
and club shares.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 103 -
The impact of sensitivity of equity prices on the Group’s equity excludes the impact on
transactions affecting the consolidated statement of income.
Coal
The price that the Group can charge for its coal is directly and indirectly related to the price of
coal in the world coal market. In addition, as the Group is not subject to domestic competition in
the Philippines, the pricing of all of its coal sales is linked to the price of imported coal. World
thermal coal prices are affected by numerous factors outside the Group’s control, including the
demand from customers which is influenced by their overall performance and demand for
electricity. Prices are also affected by changes in the world supply of coal and may be affected
by the price of alternative fuel supplies, availability of shipping vessels as well as shipping costs.
As the coal price is reset on a periodic basis under coal supply agreements, this may increase its
exposure to short-term coal price volatility.
There can be no assurance that world coal prices will be sustained or that domestic and
international competitors will not seek to replace the Group in its relationship with its key
customers by offering higher quality, better prices or larger guaranteed supply volumes, any of
which would have a materially adverse effect on the Group’s profits.
To mitigate this risk, the Group continues to improve the quality of its coal and diversify its
market from power industry, cement industry, other local industries and export market. This will
allow flexibility in the distribution of coal to its target customers in such manner that minimum
target average price of its coal sales across all its customers will still be achieved. Also, in order
to mitigate any negative impact resulting from price changes, it is the Group’s policy to set
minimum contracted volume for customers with long term supply contracts for each given period
(within the duration of the contract) and pricing is negotiated on a monthly basis to even out the
impact of any fluctuation in coal prices, thus, protecting its target margin. The excess volumes
are allocated to spot sales which may command different price than those contracted already since
the latter shall follow pricing formula per contract.
Nevertheless, on certain cases temporary adjustments on coal prices with reference to customers
following a certain pricing formula are requested in order to recover at least the cost of coal if the
resulting price is abnormally low vis-à-vis cost of production (i.e., abnormal rise in cost of fuel,
foreign exchange).
Below are the details of the Group’s coal sales to the domestic market and to the export market
(as a percentage of total coal sales volume):
2019 2018
Domestic market 21.46% 43.67%

The following table shows the effect on income before income tax should the change in the prices
of coal occur based on the inventory of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 with all
other variables held constant. The change in coal prices used in the simulation assumes
fluctuation from the lowest and highest price based on 1-year historical price movements in 2019
and 2018.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in WESM prices
compared to the strike price of P
=3.75 and P
=3.35 in 2019 and 2018, respectively, with all variables
held constant of the Group’s income before taxes (amounts in thousands).

The sensitivity analyses shown above are based on the assumption that the interest movements
will be more likely be limited to hundred basis points upward or downward fluctuation in both
2019 and 2018. The forecasted movements in percentages of interest rates used were derived
based on the Group’s historical changes in the market interest rates on unsecured bank loans.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s currency risks arise mainly from cash
and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts and other payable, short-term loans and long-term
loans of the Group which are denominated in a currency other than the Group’s functional
currency. The effect on the Group’s consolidated statement of income is computed based on the
carrying value of the floating rate receivables as at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Group does not have any foreign currency hedging arrangements.
The following tables demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in foreign
exchange rates, with all variables held constant, of the Group’s income before income tax (due to
changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities):

h. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the
other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk
for the components of the consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2019 and
2018 is the carrying amounts except for real estate receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit
risk arises from default of the counterparties which include certain financial institutions, real
estate buyers, subcontractors, suppliers and various electric companies. Credit risk management
involves dealing only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all
counterparties who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. The
Treasury Department’s policy sets a credit limit for each counterparty. In addition, receivable
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group’s financial assets are not subject to
collateral and other credit enhancement except for real estate receivables. As of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group’s exposure to bad debts is significant for the power
on-grid segment and those with doubtful of collection had been provided with allowance as
discussed in Note 7.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 107 -
An impairment analysis starting 2018 is performed at each reporting date using a provision
matrix to measure expected credit losses (using incurred loss model prior to adoption of PFRS 9).
The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with
similar loss patterns (i.e., by geographical region, product type, customer type and rating, and
coverage by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance). The calculation reflects the
probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable
information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and
forecasts of future economic conditions.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of
financial assets disclosed in Note 2. Title of the real estate property is only transferred to the
customer if the consideration had been fully paid. In case of default, after enforcement activities,
the Group has the right to cancel the sale and enter into another CTS to another customer after
certain proceedings (e.g. grace period, referral to legal, cancellation process, reimbursement of
previous payments) had been completed. Given this, based on the experience of the Group, the
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is nil considering that fair value less cost to
repossess of the real estate projects is higher than the exposure at default (i.e., recovery rate is
more than 100%). The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables
and contract assets as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and
operate in largely independent markets.
Electricity sales
The Group earns substantially all of its revenue from bilateral contracts, WESM and from various
electric companies. WESM and the various electric companies are committed to pay for the
energy generated by the power plant facilities.
Under the current regulatory regime, the generation rate charged by the Group to WESM is
determined in accordance with the WESM Price Determination Methodology (PDM) approved
by the ERC and are complete pass-through charges to WESM. PDM is intended to provide the
specific computational formula that will enable the market participants to verify the correctness
of the charges being imposed. Likewise, the generation rate charged by the Group to various
electric companies is not subject to regulations and are complete pass-through charges to various
electric companies.
Mining
The Group evaluates the financial condition of the local customers before deliveries are made to
them. On the other hand, export sales are covered by sight letters of credit issued by foreign
banks subject to the Group’s approval, hence, mitigating the risk on collection.
The Group generally offers 80% of coal delivered payable within thirty (30) days upon receipt of
billing and the remaining 20% payable within 15 days after receipt of final billing based on final
analysis of coal delivered.
Construction contracts
The credit risk for construction receivables is mitigated by the fact that the Group can resort to
carry out its contractor’s lien over the project with varying degrees of effectiveness depending on
the jurisprudence applicable on location of the project. A contractor’s lien is the legal right of the
Group to takeover the projects-in-progress and have priority in the settlement of contractor’s
receivables and claims on the projects-in-progress and have priority in the settlement of
contractor’s receivables and claims on the projects in progress is usually higher than receivables
*SGVFSM000224*
- 108 -
from and future commitments with the project owners. Trade and retention receivables from
project owners are normally high standard because of the creditworthiness of project owners and
collection remedy of contractor’s lien accorded contractor in certain cases.
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.
Generally, trade receivables are writtenoff when deemed unrecoverable and are not subject to
enforcement activity. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying
value of each class of financial assets.
With respect to the credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which
comprise cash and cash equivalents, 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. The
Group transacts only with institutions or banks that have proven track record in financial
soundness.
Given the Group’s diverse base of counterparties, it is not exposed to large concentrations of
credit risk.
The information about the credit risk exposure on the Group’s receivables and contract assets
using a provision matrix and the credit quality of other financial assets is as follows:

Receivables
Included under Grade A are accounts considered to be of high value and are covered with coal
supply, power supply, and construction contracts. The counterparties have a very remote
likelihood of default and have consistently exhibited good paying habits. Grade B accounts are
active accounts with minimal to regular instances of payment default, due to collection issues or
due to government actions or regulations. These accounts are typically not impaired as the
counterparties generally respond to credit actions and update their payments accordingly. The
Group determines financial assets as impaired when probability of recoverability is remote and in
consideration of lapse in period which the asset is expected to be recovered.
For real estate receivables, and other receivables, Grade A are classified as financial assets with
high credit worthiness and probability of default is minimal. While receivables under Grade B
and C have favorable and acceptable risk attributes, respectively, with average credit worthiness.
*SGVFSM000224*

Receivable from related parties are considered Grade A due to the Group’s positive collection
experience.
Starting 2018, an impairment analysis (using incurred loss model prior to adoption of PFRS 9 as

Financial assets
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and receivables (except installment contract receivables)
approximate their carrying amounts as of reporting dates due to the short-term nature of the
transactions.
The fair values of installment contracts receivables are based on the discounted value of future cash
flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans and receivables. The discount rates used for
installment contracts receivable range from 3.42% to 4.07% in 2019.
Refundable deposits are carried at cost since these are mostly deposits to a utility company as a
consequence of its subscription to the electricity services of the said utility company needed for the
Group’s residential units.Financial assets
In the absence of a reliable basis of determining fair values due to the unpredictable nature of future
cash flows and the lack of suitable methods in arriving at a reliable fair value, security deposits other
than those pertaining to operating leases and unquoted equity investment designated at FVOCI are
carried at cost less impairment allowance, if any.
Financial liabilities
The fair values of accounts and other payables and accrued expenses and payables to related parties
approximate their carrying amounts as of reporting dates due to the short-term nature of the
transactions.
Estimated fair value of long-term fixed rate loans and liabilities for purchased land are based on the
discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans with
maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued. For floating rate loans, the
carrying value approximates the fair value because of recent and regular repricing (quarterly) based
on market conditions.
The discount rates used for long term debt range from 3.11% to 7.02% and 3.05% to 4.91% in 2019
and 2018. The discount rates used for liabilities for purchased land range from 3.42% to 4.06% in
2019 and 6.80% to 7.02% in 2018.
Fair values of receivables, long-term debt, liabilities for purchased land and investment properties are
based on Level 3 inputs while that of quoted Equity investment designated at FVOCI and financial
assets at FVTPL are from Level 1 inputs.
There has been no reclassification from Level 1 to Level 2 or 3 category as of December 31, 2019 and
2018.
On October 20, 2010, SCPC filed a Petition for dispute resolution (“Petition”) before the ERC
against NPC and PSALM involving over-nominations made by NPC during the billing periods
January to June 2010 beyond the 169,000 kW Manila Electric Group (MERALCO) allocation of
SCPC, as provided under the Schedule W of the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 113 -
In its Petition, SCPC sought to recover the cost of energy (a) sourced by SCPC from WESM in
order to meet NPC’s nominations beyond the 169,000 kW MERALCO contracted demand, or (b)
procured by NPC from the WESM representing energy nominated by NPC in excess of the
169,000 kW limit set in Schedule W, cost of which was charged by PSALM against SCPC. In
relation to this, NPC withheld the payments of MERALCO and remitted to SCPC the collections,
net of the cost of the outsourced energy.
SCPC has likewise sought to recover interest on the withheld MERALCO payments collected by
PSALM that is unpaid to SCPC as of due date, to be charged at the rate of 6% computed from the
date of SCPC’s extrajudicial demand until full payment by PSALM.
During the preliminary conference scheduled on November 25, 2010, the ERC’s hearing officer
directed the parties to explore the possibility of settling the dispute amicably. As the parties
failed to arrive at a compromise during the prescribed period, hearings resumed with the conduct
of preliminary conference on February 23, 2011, without prejudice to the result of any further
discussions between the parties for amicable settlement. The ERC set the next hearing for the
presentation of witnesses on March 22 and 23, 2011.
In 2010, SCPC wrote-off the total amount withheld by NPC, which amounted to P =383.29 million.
Though a provision has already been made, SCPC has not waived its right to collect the said
amount in case the outcome of the dispute resolution would be a favorable settlement for SCPC.
The provision will be reversed and an income would be recognized in the ‘Other income-net’
account upon collection of the said receivable.
On July 6, 2011, the ERC rendered its Decision in favor of SCPC and directed the parties, among
others to submit the reconciled computation of the over-nominations and other MERALCO
payments withheld by PSALM during the periods January 2010 to June 2010, and for PSALM to
return to SCPC the reconciled amount plus 6% per annum as interests. PSALM’s Motion for
Reconsideration on the Decision was denied by ERC on February 13, 2012 for lack of merit.
On April 24, 2012, SCPC and PSALM each filed their Compliance submitting the reconciled
computations of the over-nominations and other MERALCO payments withheld by PSALM, as
agreed upon by the parties, in the principal amount of =
P476.00 million.
On December 4, 2013, SCPC filed a Motion for Issuance of Writ of Execution praying to direct
PSALM to remit the Principal Amount, including interest of 6% per annum computed from
August 4, 2010 until the date of actual payment, as well as the value added tax collected by
PSALM from MERALCO, pursuant to the ERC’s Decision dated July 6, 2011 and Order dated
February 13, 2012.
On June 23, 2014, the ERC issued an Order granting the Writ of Execution in favor of SCPC and
called a clarificatory conference on September 3, 2014 for the parties to discuss the details of the
execution. PSALM filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the ERC’s Order dated June 23, 2014.
On September 3, 2014 clarificatory conference, the ERC directed the parties to discuss how they
could mutually carry out the execution granted by the ERC in favor of SCPC and likewise (1)
granted SCPC 10 days to file its Comment/Opposition to PSALM’s motion for reconsideration;
and, (2) ordered PSALM to file its Compliance and submit a copy of the 3rd Indorsement dated
May 29, 2014 issued by the General Counsel of the Commission on Audit to PSALM.
On September 11, 2014, PSALM filed its Compliance and duly submitted the 3rd Indorsement.
On September 15, 2014, SCPC filed its Opposition to PSALM’s Motion for Reconsideration.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 114 -
On July 18, 2017, the ERC issued an Order granting PSALM’s Motion for Reconsideration (MR)
and setting aside its Order dated 23 June 2014. In the said Order, the ERC stated that the grant of
PSALM’s motion is without prejudice to the filing of SCPC of the appropriate money claims with
Commission on Audit (COA).
b. PSALM’s Petition for Review before the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of the Philippines
Meanwhile, PSALM filed a Petition for Review with Prayer for Temporary Restraining Order
and/or Preliminary Injunction with the Court of Appeals on March 30, 2012, questioning the
ERC’s decision dated July 6, 2011 and Order dated February 13, 2012. On September 4, 2012,
the Court of Appeals rendered a Decision, denying PSALM’s petition and affirming the related
Decision and Order previously issued.
PSALM subsequently filed a Motion for Reconsideration dated September 26, 2012 and seeking
the reconsideration of the Decision dated September 4, 2012. SCPC filed its Opposition to
PSALM’s Motion for Reconsideration on November 5, 2012. Subsequently, the Court of
Appeals issued a Resolution denying the Motion for Reconsideration filed by PSALM on
November 27, 2012.
On December 27, 2012, PSALM filed a Petition for Review on Certiorari with Prayer for
Issuance of Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary Injunction with the Supreme Court
(Court).
Subsequently the Court issued a Resolution dated January 21, 2013 requiring SCPC to file a
Comment to PSALM’s Petition. Thus, on March 25, 2013, SCPC filed its Comment.
PSALM filed a Motion for Extension to file reply on July 25, 2013, requesting for an additional
period of ten (10) days from July 25, 2013, or until August 4, 2013, within which to file its Reply.
PSALM subsequently filed its Reply on August 2, 2013.
In a Resolution dated September 30, 2013, the Supreme Court granted PSALM’s Motion for
Extension to File Reply and noted the filing of PSALM’s Reply.
On December 16, 2016, the Court issued a Notice of Decision and Decision dated
December 5, 2016. In said Decision, the Supreme Court denied PSALM’s Petition for Review on

Supreme Court rendered Decision denying with finality PSALM’s Motion for Reconsideration.
On February 22, 2017, due to the denial with finality of PSALM’s Motion for Reconsideration by
the Supreme Court, SCPC filed with the ERC an Urgent Motion for Resolution of PSALM’s
Motion for Reconsideration pending with the ERC. SCPC prayed that the MR be denied and a
writ of execution be issued in favor of SCPC.
c. Petition for Money Claim versus PSALM before the Commission on Audit (COA)
On November 27, 2017, SCPC filed before the COA a Petition for Money Claim against PSALM
for the enforcement of the Decision dated July 6, 2011 and Order dated February 13, 2012 issued
by the ERC in ERC Case No. 2010-058MC, as affirmed by the Court of Appeals in its Decision
*SGVFSM000224*
- 115 -
dated September 4, 2012 in CA-C.R. No. 123997, and by the Supreme Court in its Decision dated
December 5, 2016 in G.R. No. 204719.
On December 11, 2017, SCPC received a copy of the Order dated November 29, 2017 issued by
COA directing PSALM to submit its answer to SCPC’s Petition dated November 27, 2017 within
fifteen (15) days from receipt thereof. Upon confirmation from the Philippine Post Office -
Quezon City, PSALM received a copy of the foregoing Order on December 14, 2017. PSALM
has until December 29, 2017 within which to file its answer.
As of December 31, 2017, since this case involves issues which have been settled by no less than
the Supreme Court in a final and executory judgment, i.e., PSALM’s liability in the principal
amount of P=476.70 million inclusive of VAT, the recovery of SCPC’s money claim is
certain. The filing of Petition with COA is for the purpose of executing the money judgment
since the ERC refused to execute the same based on the rule that all money claims against the
government must first be filed with the COA.
On February 7, 2018, SCPC filed with COA a Motion to Declare Respondent Power Sector
Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation in Default in view of PSALM’s failure to file
Answer within the period provided by COA in the Order dated November 29, 2017. However, on
February 15, 2018, SCPC received a copy of PSALM’s Motion to Admit Attached Answer with
Answer both dated February 12, 2018. In its Answer, PSALM confirmed that it had not made
any payments in connection with the ERC Decision dated July 6, 2011 but contended that
SCPC’s prayer for payment of interest should be denied because allegedly, SCPC’s Petition dated
November 27, 2017 and the ERC decision failed to state as to when the interest should be
counted from. On March 1, 2018, SCPC filed its reply to PSALM’s answer and refuted
PSALM’s claim regarding imposition of interest.
On November 29, 2018, SCPC filed an Urgent Motion for Resolution with the COA praying for
immediate resolution of the case. On December 14, 2018, PSALM filed its comment to SCPC
Urgent Motion for Resolution raising the same arguments raised in its Answer. On January 4,
2019, SCPC filed its reply to PSALM’s comment to the Urgent Motion for Resolution,
On April 22, 2019, the COA issued its decision granting SCPC’s money claim in the amount of
=476.7 plus 6% interest. On June 28, 2019, PSALM paid the said amount in favor of SCPC.
P
On August 29, 2013, MERALCO filed a Petition for Dispute Resolution before the ERC against
SCPC and other generating companies praying for refund of the amount of line loss allegedly
collected by the said generating companies corresponding to 2.98% of the NPC-Time of Use
(TOU) amounts paid to the generating companies as assignees of the portions of the contracted
energy volume under the NPC-MERALCO Transition Supply Contract pursuant to the Orders
dated March 4, 2013 and July 1, 2013 issued by the ERC in ERC Case No. 2008-083MC.
The total amount claimed by MERALCO against SCPC representing line loss amounts allegedly
received by SCPC beginning 2009 amounts to =
P265.54 million.
The ERC issued an Order dated September 10, 2013 for the generating companies to file
comments on MERALCO’s Petition and set the hearing on October 17, 2013.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 116 -
On September 20, 2013, the generating companies filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss arguing that
MERALCO’s Petition failed to state a cause of action and the ERC has no jurisdiction over the
subject matter of the case.
On September 25, 2013, the ERC directed MERALCO to file its comments on the Joint Motion
to Dismiss. The ERC likewise set the hearing on the Joint Motion to Dismiss on October 14,
2013.
On October 14, 2013 during the hearing on the Joint Motion to Dismiss, ERC directed
MERALCO to furnish the generating companies of its Comment and Pre-Trial Brief; granted
MERALCO a period of three (3) days from receipt of the generating companies Reply within
which to file a Rejoinder; granted the generating companies a period of five (5) days from receipt
of MERALCO’s Rejoinder to file a Sur-Rejoinder. The ERC denied the generating companies
prayer to hold in abeyance the conduct of the initial heating on October 17, 2013 and shall
proceed on said date only insofar as the jurisdictional hearing is concerned without prejudice to
the ERC’s resolution of the Joint Motion to Dismiss.
The generating companies’ Joint Motion to Dismiss has been submitted for resolution. As of
December 31, 2019, the Joint Motion to Dismiss has yet to be resolved.
On December 23, 2013, the Supreme Court (SC) issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) to
MERALCO enjoining it from increasing the generation rates it charges to its consumers arising
from the increased generation costs from its suppliers for the supply month of November 2013.
The said TRO also enjoined the ERC from implementing its December 9, 2013 Order authorizing
MERALCO to stagger the collection of its increased generation costs for the supply month of
November 2013. The TRO was for a period of 60 days from December 23, 2013 to February 21,
2014.
On January 10, 2014, the SC impleaded MERALCO’s suppliers of generation costs, including
Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC), the operator of the WESM, as parties-
respondents in the cases.
On February 18, 2014, the SC extended the TRO for another 60 days up to April 22, 2014.
On April 24, 2014, the SC issued a resolution and corresponding TRO, extending indefinitely the
TRO issued on December 23, 2013 and February 18, 2014.
As a result of the TRO, MERALCO has not been able to fully bill its consumers for the
generation costs for the supply month of November 2013; and in turn, it has not been able to fully
pay its suppliers of generation costs, including PEMC.
On March 11, 2014, the ERC released its ERC Order (Case No 2014-021MC, dated
March 3, 2014) voiding the Luzon WESM prices during the November and December 2013
supply months and declaring the imposition of regulated prices in lieu thereof.
PEMC was hereby directed within 7 days from receipt of the Order to calculate these regulated
prices and implement the same in the revised WESM bills of the concerned Distribution Utilities
(DUs) in Luzon for the November and December 2013 supply months for their immediate
*SGVFSM000224*
- 117 -
settlement, except for MERALCO whose November 2013 WESM bill shall be maintained in
compliance with the TRO issued by the SC.
Several generation companies and distribution companies filed their respective Motions for
Reconsideration of the March 3, 2014 ERC Order. SCPC filed its Motion for Reconsideration
with Motion for Deferment of implementation of the Order dated March 3, 2014 on March 31,
2014. The said Motions were set for hearing on April 28, 2014.
In the meantime, PEMC issued the adjusted WESM bills to the market participants, including
SCPC. In an Order dated March 27, 2014, the ERC directed PEMC to provide the market
participants an additional period of 45 days from receipt of the Order within which to comply
with the settlement of the adjusted WESM bills in view of the pendency of the various
submissions before the ERC.
During the hearing held on April 28, 2014, the ERC directed the parties to submit their respective
memoranda by May 2, 2014. In compliance with the directive, SCPC filed a Manifestation on
May 2, 2014 that it is adopting its Motion for Reconsideration in lieu of filing a Memorandum.
In an Order dated October 15, 2014, the ERC denied SCPC’s Motion for Reconsideration.
On December 11, 2014, SCPC filed a Petition for Review with Prayer for Issuance of Temporary
Restraining Order and/or Writ of Injunction with the Court of Appeals seeking reversal of the
ERC Orders dated March 3, 2014 and October 15, 2014. In a resolution dated April 30, 2015, the
SCPC’s Petition was consolidated with other related cases filed by other generation companies
before the Court of Appeals. PEMC and ERC filed their respective Consolidated Comments on
the consolidated Petitions to which the SCPC filed its Reply.
MERALCO filed its Consolidated Motion for Leave to Intervene with Opposition to Prayers for
issuance of Temporary Restraining Order and/or Writ of Injunction. SCPC filed its Comment to
MERALCO’s Consolidated Motion on November 2, 2015.
Pending the finality of the ERC Order dated March 3, 2014 on recalculation of the WESM prices
for the November and December 2013 supply months and its effect on each generation company
that trade in the WESM, SCPC estimated its exposure to the said ERC order. In relation to the
ERC Order, SCPC entered into a special payment arrangement with PEMC for the payment of
the customer’s reimbursement, through PEMC, in excess of the regulated price for the purchases
through spot market in November and December 2013. The payments are over 24 month from
June 2014 to May 2016. Total payments amounted to P =674.00 million.
On December 14, 2017, SCPC received Meralco’s and ERC’s Motion for Reconsideration of the
Court Appeal’s Decision dated December 8 and 12, 2017, respectively. Likewise, SCPC received
Motions for Leave to Intervene with Motion to Admit Attach Motion for Reconsideration filed by
several third parties such as Mercury Drug Corporation, Riverbanks Development Corporation,
Philippine Steelmakers Association and Ateneo de Manila University, seeking intervention in the
instant case and reconsideration of the Court of Appeal’s Decision.
On July 30, 2018, SCPC filed its Consolidated Comment on MERALCO’s and ERC’s Motion for
Reconsideration. On November 29, 2018, the CA directed SCPC to comment on the Motion for
Leave to Intervene and to Admit Motion for Reconsideration in Intervention of the CA’s decision
filed by movant-intervenors PRHC Property Managers Inc. and the Philippine Stock Exchange
Centre Condominium Corporation. On December 2018, SCPC instead submitted a Manifestation
*SGVFSM000224*
- 118 -
in lieu of a comment since the grounds relied upon by the movants are similar to the grounds to
the other movants already addressed by SCPC in its Consolidated Comment and duly passed
upon by the CA in its Resolution dated March 22, 2018.
In a decision dated November 7, 2018, the Court of Appeals granted SCPC’s Petition and
declared the ERC’s Orders dated March 3, 2014, March 27, 2014 and October 15, 2014 in ERC
Case No. 2014-021 as null and void for being issued in violation of the Constitution and the
applicable laws.
To date, the CA has yet to resolve ERC and MERALCO’S Motion for Reconsideration.
Refer to Note 7 for the related allowance credit loss recognized regarding this matter.
On December 20, 2011, SCPC entered into a new power supply agreement with MERALCO
which took effect on December 26, 2011 and shall have a term of seven (7) years, extendable
upon mutual agreement by the parties for another three (3) years. Based on this agreement,
SCPC shall provide MERALCO with an initial contracted capacity of 210MW and shall be
increased to 420MW upon commercial operation of the plant’s Unit 1. Commercial operation of
plant’s Unit 1 started in June 2013. On May 5, 2017, the parties mutually agreed to extend the
agreement for a contracted capacity of 250MW which shall be made available by SCPC to
MERALCO from December 26, 2018 to December 25, 2019 or the date of the commencement of
the Major Rehabilitation of Unit 2 of the plant, whichever is earlier.
On March 12, 2012, MERALCO filed an application for the Approval of the Power Supply
Agreement (PSA) between MERALCO and SCPC, with a Prayer for Provisional Authority,
docketed as ERC Case No. 2011-037 RC.
In the said application, MERALCO alleged and presented on the following: a.) the salient
provisions of the PSA; b.) payment structure under the PSA; c.) the impact of the approval of the
proposed generation rates on MERALCO’s customers; and d.) the relevance and urgent need for
the implementation of the PSA.
On December 17, 2012, ERC issued a Decision approving the application with modification. On
January 7, 2013, applicant MERALCO filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the ERC
Decision dated December 17, 2012 to introduce additional material evidence not available at the
time of the filing of the application, in support of the reconsideration of the approved Fixed O&M
Fee of P=4,785.12/Kw/year. On February 8, 2013, MERALCO filed its Supplemental Motion for
Partial Reconsideration with Motion for Clarification (Supplemental Motion) to include the
recovery of cost of diesel not as part of the variable O&M Fee.
On May 2, 2018, the ERC issued an Order of even date, requiring submission of documentary
requirements to support its Motion for Partial Reconsideration and the Supplemental Motion. On
May 23, 2018, SCPC submitted its Compliance with Motion for Early Resolution to the ERC.
On May 29, 2108, SCPC received an Order from the ERC allowing recovery of the Cost of
Diesel during Power Plant’s Startup and Shutdown under Reimbursable Cost but deferred
MERALCOs prayer to adjust the approved FOM of Php4,785.12/kW-Year to PhP4,977.45/kW-
Year. On July 17, 2018, further to ERC Order dated May 29, 2018, SCPC issued a Debit Memo
to MERALCO and MERALCO RES in the amounts of P1,170.44 million and P407.46 million,
respectively.
*SGVFSM000224*

On August 20, 2018, SCPC received a copy of MERALCO’s Motion for Clarification with
Manifestation seeking to clarify the details of the approved components of the Fixed O&M Fee,
including the amounts pertaining to diesel and bunker oil. MERALCO also sought to clarify that
the ERC grant of the Power Plant’s Startup and Shutdown under Reimbursable Cost refers to
Component E of the Payment Structure discussed in Appendix E of the PSA to avert any
erroneous/invalid billing from SCPC regarding Reimbursable Costs. On August 30, 2018
MERALCO filed with the ERC its Urgent Motion for Resolution of its earlier Motion for
Clarification with Manifestation.
To date, ERC has yet to resolve the pending motions filed by MERALCO.
On May 5, 2017, SCPC entered into a new power supply agreement with MERALCO through its
retail electricity supply business segment which will take effect on June 26, 2018 and shall have a
term of 10 years extendable upon mutual agreement by the parties for another four (4) years.

National Grip Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP)
On July 12, 2018, SLPGC and NGCP filed an Application for approval of the Ancillary Services
Procurement Agreement, with a Prayer for the Issuance of Provisional Authority, docketed as
ERC Case No. 2018-074-RC, where NGCP agreed to procure and SLPGC agreed to supply
Ancillary Services in the form of Regulating Reserve under a firm and non-firm arrangement and
Contingency Reserve and Dispatchable Reserve under a non-firm arrangement.

On November 9, 2018, SLPGC and NGCP filed their Formal Offer of Evidence and Compliance.
On May 21, 2019, SLPGC received the ERC Order dated May 20, 2019 granting interim relief in
favor of SLPGC and NGCP to implement the ASPA. The ERC Order, however, disallowed the
recovery of the cost of minimum stable load (Pmin) Capacity of the ancillary gas turbine.
On June 6, 2019, SLPGC filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration with Manifestation of the
Order dated May 20, 2019, praying for the recovery of the cost of Pmin capacity of ancillary gas
turbine. On September 5, 2019, the ERC resolved to deny SLPGC’s Motion for Partial
Reconsideration with Manifestation for lack of merit.
On November 19, 2019, SLPGC and NGCP filed their Joint Manifestation with Motion to
Withdraw in view of the decision to terminate the ASPA. As of December 31, 2019, ERC has yet

As discussed in Note 14, SCPC entered into a LLA with PSALM for the lease of land in which its
plant is situated, for a period of 25 years, renewable for another 25 years, with the mutual
agreement of both parties. In 2009, SCPC paid US$3.19 million or (P =150.57 million) as payment
for the 25 years of rental (see Note 34).
Provisions of the LLA include that SCPC has the option to buy the Option Assets upon issuance
of an Option Existence Notice (OEN) by the lessor. Optioned assets are parcels of land that form
part of the leased premises which the lessor offers for the sale to the lease.
SCPC was also required to deliver and submit to the lessor a performance security amounting to
=34.83 million in the form of Stand-by Letter of Credits. The Performance Security shall be
P
maintained by SCPC in full force and effect continuously without any interruption until the
Performance Security expiration date. The Performance Security initially must be effective for
the period of one (1) year from the date of issue, to be replaced prior to expiration every year
thereafter and shall at all times remain valid.
In the event that the lessor issues an OEN and SCPC buy the option assets, the land purchase
price should be equivalent to the highest of the following and/or amounts: (i) assessment of the
Provincial Assessors of Batangas Province; (ii) the assessment of the Municipal or City Assessor
having jurisdiction over the particular portion of the leased premises; (iii) the zonal valuation of
Bureau of Internal Revenue or, (iv) 21.00 per square meter (dollar). Valuation basis for (i) to (iii)
shall be based on the receipt of PSALM of the option to exercise notice.
The exchange rate to be used should be the Philippine Dealing Exchange rate at the date of
receipt of PSALM of the option to exercise notice.
On July 12, 2010, PSALM issued an OEN and granted SCPC the “Option” to purchase parcels of
land (Optioned Assets) that form part of the leased premises. SCPC availed of the “Option” and
paid the Option Price amounting to US$0.32 million (or P=14.72 million), exercisable within one
year from the issuance of the OEN.
On April 28, 2011, SCPC sent a letter to PSALM requesting for the assignment of the option to
purchase a lot with an area of 82,740 sqm in favor of its Parent Company (SMPC).
On May 5, 2011, PSALM approved the assignment. On June 1, 2011, SCPC exercised the land
lease option at a purchase price of =
P292.62 million and is included as part of ‘Property, plant and
equipment’ (see Note 13). The 82,740 sqm lot was later assigned to and purchased by SLPGC.
On October 12, 2011, SCPC reiterated its proposal to purchase the remainder of the Leased
Premises not identified as Optioned Assets. One of the salient features of the proposal included
the execution of CTS between SCPC and PSALM. This included the proposal of SCPC to assign
its option to purchase and sublease in favor of SLPGC.
On February 13, 2012, PSALM held off the approval of the proposal to purchase the portion of
Calaca Leased Premises not identified as Optioned Assets, subject to further studies. On the
same date, PSALM’s Board approved SCPC’s request to sub-lease a portion of the Calaca Leased
Premises to SLPGC for the purpose of constructing and operating a power plant.
On February 14, 2014, SCPC reiterated its proposal to purchase the Calaca Leased Premises not
identified as Optioned Assets. On February 1, 2017, SCPC again reiterated to PSALM its
proposal to purchase the Calaca Leased Premises.

k. Others
The Group is contingently liable with respect to certain taxation matters, lawsuits and other
claims which are being contested by management, the outcome of which are not presently
determinable. Management believes that the final resolution of these claims will not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The information usually required by PAS 37 is not disclosed on the grounds that it can be expected to
prejudice the outcome of these lawsuits, claims and assessments. No provisions were made in 2019,
2018 and 2017 for these lawsuits and claims.

In June 2001, the Congress of the Philippines approved and passed into law R.A. No. 9136,
otherwise known as the EPIRA, providing the mandate and the framework to introduce
competition in the electricity market. EPIRA also provides for the privatization of the assets of
NPC, including its generation and transmission assets, as well as its contract with Independent
Power Producers (IPPs). EPIRA provides that competition in the retail supply of electricity and
open access to the transmission and distribution systems would occur within three years from
EPIRA’s effective date. Prior to June 2002, concerned government agencies were to establish
WESM, ensure the unbundling of transmission and distribution wheeling rates, and remove
existing cross subsidies provided by industrial and commercial users to residential customers.
The WESM was officially launched on June 23, 2006 and began commercial operations for
Luzon.
The ERC has already implemented a cross subsidy removal scheme. The inter-regional grid cross
subsidy was fully phased-out in June 2002. ERC has already approved unbundled rates for
Transmission Group (TRANSCO) and majority of the distribution utilities.
Under EPIRA, NPC’s generation assets are to be sold through transparent, competitive public
bidding, while all transmission assets are to be transferred to TRANSCO, initially a government-
owned entity that was eventually privatized. The privatization of these NPC assets has been
delayed and is considerably behind the schedule set by the DOE. EPIRA also created PSALM,
which is to accept transfers of all assets and assume all outstanding obligations of NPC, including
its obligations to IPPs. One of PSALM’s responsibilities is to manage these contracts with IPPs
after NPC’s privatization. PSALM is also responsible for privatizing at least 70% of the
transferred generating assets and IPP contracts within three years from the effective date of
EPIRA.
In August 2005, the ERC issued a resolution reiterating the statutory mandate under the EPIRA
law for the generation and distribution companies, which are not publicly listed, to make an initial
public offering (IPO) of at least 15% of their common shares. Provided, however, that generation
companies, distribution utilities or their respective holding companies that are already listed in
the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) are deemed in compliance. SCPC was already compliant
with this requirement given that SMPC, its parent company, is a publicly listed company.
WESM
With the objective of providing competitive price of electricity, the EPIRA authorized DOE to
constitute an independent entity to be represented equitably by electric power industry
participants and to administer and operate WESM. WESM will provide a mechanism for
identifying and setting the price of actual variations from the quantities transacted under contracts
between sellers and purchasers of electricity.
In addition, the DOE was tasked to formulate the detailed rules for WESM which include the
determination of electricity price in the market. The price determination methodology will
consider accepted economic principles and should provide a level playing field to all electric
power industry participants. The price determination methodology was subject to the approval of
the ERC.
In this regard, the DOE created PEMC to act as the market operator governing the operation of
WESM. On June 26, 2006, WESM became operational in the Luzon grid and adopts the model
of a “gross pool, net settlement” electricity market.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 123 -
In 2017, the Board of PEMC has approved the transition plan for the creation of an independent
market operator (IMO), paving the way for the state firm to finally relinquish control of the
WESM.
On February 4, 2018, the DOE published Department Circular No. DC2018-01-0002, “Adopting
Policies for the Effective and Efficient Transition to the Independent Market Operator for the
Wholesale Electricity Spot Market”. This Circular shall take effect immediately after its
publication in two newspapers of general circulation and shall remain in effect until otherwise
revoked. Pursuant to Section 37 and Section 30 of the EPIRA, jointly with the electric power
participants, the DOE shall formulate the detailed rules for the wholesale electricity spot market.
Said rules shall provide the mechanism for determining the price of electricity not covered by
bilateral contracts between sellers and purchasers of electricity users. The price determination
methodology contained in said rules shall be subject to the approval of ERC. Said rules shall also
reflect accepted economic principles and provide a level playing field to all electric power
industry participants.
On November 25, 2000, the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Philippine Clean
Air Act (PCAA) took effect. The IRR contains provisions that have an impact on the industry as
a whole that need to be complied within 44 months from the effectivity date, subject to the
approval by DENR. The Group’s power plant uses thermal coal and uses a facility to test and
monitor gas emissions to conform with Ambient and Source Emissions Standards and other
provisions of the Clean Air Act and its IRR. Based on the Group’s assessment of its existing
power plant facilities, the Group believes that it is in full compliance with the applicable
provisions of the IRR of the PCAA.
On April 30, 2012, SCPC and Pozzolanic Australia Pty, Ltd. (“Pozzolanic”) executed the
Contract for the Purchase of Fly Ash of the Power Plant (the “Pozzolanic Contract”). The
Pozzolanic contract is valid and effective for a period of fifteen (15) years beginning
February 1, 2012. Pozzolanic, as agreed, shall purchase 100 % percent of fly ashes produced or
generated by the Power Plant of SCPC.
On February 24, 2015, SLPGC, owner of the 2x150 MW CFB Power Plant and Transpacific
Resource Recovery Inc. executed a Contract for CFB fly ash which is valid until January 31,
2027.
On January 11, 2016, DPC and PALECO signed and executed the “Supplemental Agreement to
the July 25, 2012 Power Supply Agreement” for the construction and operation of the 2x4.95MW
bunker-fired power plant to augment capacity of DPC’s power plants in the province of Palawan.
The Supplemental Agreement shall be valid and effective until such time that DPC’s coal-fired
power plant becomes operational. The provisions of the PSA, in so far as they are not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Supplemental Agreement, shall remain valid and binding
between PALECO and DPC.
The DOE, through a letter dated June 24, 2016 to the BOI has endorsed and acknowledged the
2x4.95MW bunker-fired power plant as part of DPC’s augmentation plan to deliver its committed
Guaranteed Dependable Capacity (GDC) under the PSA.
*SGVFSM000224*
- 124 -
On November 23, 2016, the BOI issued the Certificate of Registration (COR) for the Group as
New Operator of 15MW Bunker-Fired Power Plant on a Pioneer Status under the Omnibus
Investments Code of 1987 (Executive Order No.226).
In the latter part of December 2016, the 2x4.95MW bunker-fired power plant started its
commercial operation.
On January 5, 2017, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) granted a Provisional Authority
to Operate (PAO) relative to DPC’s application for the issuance of Certificate of Compliance
(COC) for its 2x4.95MW Bunker-Fired Power Plant (BFPP).
On June 6, 2019, SMPC received a letter from the DOE which orders the cease and desist of its
coal trading activities and operations following the delivery of coal to a certain customer which
has failed to submit its Coal Accreditation Certificate with the DOE. The Order also states that
the coal trader accreditation of SMPC was suspended until further notice.
On July 5, 2019, SMPC filed its Verified Answer arguing that: (a) sale and delivery of coal to the
customer was done in good faith; (b) the cease and desist order and suspension is
disproportionately severe under the circumstances as it should only be directed to trading done
with such customer; and, c) imposition of fines is only applicable to those entities who are not
accredited.
On July 10, 2019, SMPC wrote the DOE requesting deferment of the implementation of the
Order and/or suspension pending resolution of the DOE.
On November 19, 2019, SMPC received the DOE Resolution dated October 15, 2019 imposing a
monetary penalty of P
=1.74 million and suspension of coal trading activities for one month, except
for its own power plants and other power plants with existing coal supply agreements.
On November 20, 2019, a motion for reconsideration to the Resolution dated October 15, 2019.
On November 25, 2020, an amended motion for reconsideration was filed.
On January 3, 2020, SMPC received letter from the DOE dated December 26, 2019 directing
SMPC to file its position paper relative to the Order. On January 10, 2020, SMPC filed its
position paper. As of this date, the case is presently pending for decision with the DOE.
On November 19, 2019, the DOE issued an Order dated November 14, 2019 suspending all
mining activities at the site until compliance with certain conditions (Order).
In a series of submissions on November 25, 29 and December 6, 2019, SMPC submitted to DOE
a request to lift the suspension of mining operations and a list of compliances to the
conditionalities required by the latter.
On December 26, 2019, the DOE, in a letter dated December 23, 2019, lifted the suspension order
as SMPC substantially complied with the conditions for the lifting, except in the area adjacent to
the Casay Lake (all liquefiable materials need to be removed in said area).
*SGVFSM000224*
- 125 -
To date, all liquefiable materials in the concerned area have been removed and a Safety
Consultant has been hired. Consequently, all mining operations at the mine site has resumed.
On February 8, 2017, the secretary of the DENR issued an order cancelling ZDMC’s MPSA. On
March 2, 2017, ZDMC filed a for motion for reconsideration (MR) with the DENR from which
the DENR failed to act promptly upon the lapse of substantial period. Consequently, ZDMC filed
a Notice of Appeal before the Office of the President (OP) on March 31, 2017 to question the
cancellation of its MPSA.
On November 12, 2018, the DENR issued a resolution modifying the order of cancellation of
ZDMC’s MPSA into an order suspending the mining production and shipment of ores of ZDMC
subject to fulfillment of corrective measure. On November 27, 2018, ZDMC submitted the
detailed action plan to DENR and was evaluated, reviewed, and approved on November 28, 2018.
The November 2018 suspension order was lifted by virture of the DENR Resolution dated
September 30, 2019.
h. Sales Agreement
BNC and ZDMC entered into various sales agreements with different customers to sell and
deliver nickel laterite ores. The selling price of the nickel laterite ores depends on its ore grading.
The sales agreements are subject to price adjustments depending on the final nickel and moisture
content agreed by both parties. BNC exported a total of 1.01 million wet metric tons (WMT) and
0.59 million WMT in 2019 and 208, respectively. ZDMC, on the other hand, exported a total of
0.16 million WMT upon lifting of the suspension order in 2019.

construction resources on. Our company’s technical proficiency
can be attributed to our skilled and experienced employees in
the field. Therefore, we prioritize their well-being and personal
development by providing career opportunities and adequate
compensation and benefits. We also ensure that our employees
contribute effectively to our business performance while
considering our compliance with the standards on environment,
safety, quality, and corporate governance.
*If you are a holding company, you could have an option whether to report on the holding company only
or include the subsidiaries. However, please consider the principle of materiality when defining your report
boundary.

2. Materiality Process
Explain how you applied the materiality principle (or the materiality process) in identifying your
material topics. 1
This report covers the sustainability performance of DMCI Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries namely
D.M. Consunji, Inc. (DMCI), DMCI Project Developers, Inc. (a subsidiary 100% owned by DMCI Holdings,
Inc. and the parent company of DMCI Homes), Semirara Mining and Power Corporation (SMPC), DMCI
Power Corporation, and DMCI Mining Corporation. Likewise, the report includes the environmental and
social sustainability performance of Maynilad Water Services, Inc., a joint venture company with Metro
Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) and Marubeni Corporation.
For this sustainability report, we commissioned the University of Asia and the Pacific - Center for Social
Responsibility (UA&P-CSR) to conduct various stakeholder consultations in order to determine the
material topics and disclosures to be included in the report. Stakeholder engagement is a requirement
of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the sustainability reporting framework that our
Company has adopted for this reporting cycle. At the same time, we were able to determine the
interests and concerns of our stakeholders about our operations through these consultations, which
were done through surveys and focus group discussions (FGDs).
Following the materiality principle of the GRI Standards, UA&P-CSR designed the survey questionnaire
to identify the GRI disclosures and topics that may or may not be material to our stakeholders in terms
of (1) influence on stakeholder assessments and decisions, and (2) significance of economic,
environmental and social impacts. Respondents were asked to identify the impact of the disclosure to
them as well as determine the influence that they have on a particular disclosure.
On the other hand, the FGDs were conducted to encourage the stakeholders to comprehensively share
their views and opinions regarding their experiences with our operations, as well as their interests and
concerns that were not covered by the survey questionnaire.
We consulted a total of 164 individuals, both representing internal and external stakeholders of our
subsidiaries. The list of stakeholder groups consulted for each subsidiary were drawn using rigid
stakeholder identification techniques and can be shown in the table below:
Government Agencies ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔
Employees ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔
Customers ✔ ✔

See GRI 102-46 (2016) for more guidance.

Third-party Service Providers ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔

Community ✔
Electric Cooperatives ✔
However, the stakeholders of our subsidiaries that have earlier published their own sustainability
reports, such as SMPC and Maynilad, were excluded in the consultation process since they have already
engaged them as part of their respective materiality processes. The results of which were integrated
into the overall DMCI Holdings, Inc.’s materiality process.
We considered a threshold of at least 3.00 and above for both impact and influence for a topic to be
considered as material. Based on the results of the survey, 11 out of the 33 GRI topics are material to
our stakeholders.
Local Communities
Socioeconomic Compliance
The materiality matrix below shows the topics that have the greatest impact and influence to our
stakeholders:
7
Based on the FGDs, our stakeholders acknowledged the efforts and determination of our subsidiaries
in contributing to the economic growth of several barangays and municipalities, complying with
environmental regulations, and establishing programs that would benefit the local communities in their
areas of operation. With this, our stakeholders also provided suggestions to improve certain aspects of
our operations, such as prioritization of local hires, information dissemination and monitoring and
evaluation of our environmental and social programs. The feedback helped us evaluate the impact of
our businesses on the local communities and understand their key priorities.

Semirara Mining and Power Corporation has a non-contributory 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 date 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.
Our responsible and innovative investments play an important role in building a thriving society in our
areas of operations and throughout the Philippines. These spur growth in terms of livelihood and business
opportunities during and after the projects’ completion. We also use our expertise and advanced
technologies to address the urgent and unmet needs in our communities. We work responsibly on behalf
of our employees, customers, communities, and all other stakeholders. Moreover, we are continuously
working to improve our businesses, our communities, and the society around us.
The local workforce benefits through skills enhancement and additional knowledge provided in the
communities where our projects are located. We also ensure that we prioritize the hiring of local
manpower in the project vicinity and the utilization of local materials and subcontractors for our projects
as these areas are the ones impacted by our operations.
We aim to expand our service coverage to the poor and informal settler communities and to look for
solutions to the financial, legal, and technical hurdles to connect these communities to the network. We
also set a coverage target for the year and evaluate our success based on our adherence to these targets
and to our budget.
Our approach is to also translate the business agenda into social good. For example, our duty of
communicating the importance of good sanitation and the protection of waterways inevitably leads to
encouraging our customers to avail of the services of our companies.
DMCI Holdings, through our subsidiaries, helps in uplifting the lives of the families residing in areas of our
operations. With our social initiatives, we hope that we make the most impact and value for the Filipino
people and our nation. For instance, we are able to provide local employment to many Filipinos in various
provincial areas such as Batangas, Palawan, Masbate, Zambales, Mindoro, Antique, Davao, Marinduque,
Ormoc, Zambales, Tacloban, and Iligan. The employment of the local workers generates small businesses
like canteens, sari-sari stores, laundry shops, food stalls, and apartments.

Some of the highlights include:
D.M. Consunji, Inc. In relation to employee training and development, D.M. Consunji, Inc. has
collaborated with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to upgrade the skills
of the company’s construction workers. With this, DMCI hopes to set above industry standards in the
implementation of its construction work activities.
Maynilad Water Services, Inc. We provided 41% or Php 90.93 lifeline discount per monthly billing to each
of our 341,881 customers. For 2019, we have given an estimated amount of Php 373 million for our lifeline
customers. This discount is also given to our 2,180 senior citizen customers that amounted to Php 6 million
per month.
We are also able to generate an estimated 34,276 jobs from our Capital Expenditures investment for 2019.
Moreover, our local hires for our projects have resulted in an increase in zonal value.
Furthermore, accounts under our Carriedo Will are able to enjoy free services. For 2019, we supplied
228,912 cubic meter (cu.m.) of water for free of charge which is equivalent to Php 20,500,053.44 (VAT
exclusive).
SMPC. Local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) thrive in a robust economy driven by our
operations in several municipalities and provinces. For instance, Barangay Semirara, a direct impact
community in Semirara Island, has recorded 283 renewal business permits and 181 new permits in 2019.
In addition, local residents are able to enjoy an affordable electricity rate of Php 5 per kwh because of
SMPC’s continuing electricity subsidy of Php 2.50 per kwh through the Antique Electric Cooperative, Inc.
(ANTECO).
SMPC has also developed a Master of Arts in Education Program for public and private school teachers in
the island. This program started in 2019 which aims to improve the teachers’ competency and to continue
their professional development. To date, 183 teachers from 10 public and private schools have completed
the program and have applied their learnings in improving their teaching methods and curriculum to their
respective schools. SMPC has already invested Php 1.8 million for this program.
DMCI Mining Corporation. Barangay Berong in Quezon, Palawan, where Berong Nickel Corporation (BNC)
is situated, is currently the second most economically stable barangay in the municipality. The Company
has also contributed to the increase in income of local SMEs brought about by the rise in the consumer
power of the residents.
In the area of education, DMCI Mining has helped 116 students from 2011 to 2019 graduate from college.
The graduates have been employed by the Company and are able to provide for their family.
DMCI Power Corporation. The continuous efficient operation of DMCI Power has brought about the
increase of growth-inducing potential for the communities situated in its areas of operations. Reliable
electricity is an essential factor in attaining development in these areas. Lesser power outages brought
about by the existence of the Company’s power plants have made possible a steady pace in progress
through relentless construction of new buildings for tourism, improvement of infrastructure, building of
hospitals, schools, and churches.

(See Annex A.1.1.2.3 for Significant Indirect Economic Impacts per subsidiary)
DMCI Holdings takes into consideration the climate-related risks and opportunities in all its business
operations and activities. All the subsidiaries are responsible for managing climate-related concerns in
terms of governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets used.
When it comes to governance, climate-related risks are monitored and reviewed by the Board. Moreover,
they oversee if the environmental objectives of the Company are fulfilled. In D.M. Consunji, Inc., the head
of the Environmental Management System (EMS) and the Integrated Management Representative (IMR)
are tasked to evaluate climate-related issues. Climate change risks are also covered under the enterprise
risk management in Maynilad and Berong Nickel Corporation’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats (SWOT ) analysis in DMCI Mining. In Semirara Mining and Power Corporation, the integrated
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) framework are aligned with the pillars of the Financial Stability
Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
To assess the appropriate strategies, climate-related risks and opportunities are identified over short-,
medium-, and long-term periods. In general, the operations in DMCI Holdings will be greatly affected due
to climate change. There will be a decrease in productivity, thus resulting in less revenue for the Company.
It may also cause health and safety hazards especially to the employees in various sites. Such risks are
then mitigated through a detailed assessment process that complies with regulatory standards. In D.M.
Consunji, Inc., they utilize the Context of the Organization (COTO) Process to determine climate-related
risks and opportunities. Their risk and opportunity assessment process also includes the following factors:
Impact (I), Probability (P), and the effects of existing Control (C) on the identified risks. For Maynilad,
environmental scanning is conducted during the top management meeting. Semirara Mining and Power
Corporation aims to develop and improve its adaptive capacity to respond to climate-related risks to
better manage the associated risks and seize opportunities, including the ability to respond to transition
risks and physical risks. This includes improving our communication of key climate-related material
information to our stakeholders. Likewise, DMCI Mining performs its risk management through daily
monitoring of the weather in their sites.
Furthermore, several metrics and targets were used in each subsidiary to ensure that the climate-related
risks and opportunities are effectively managed.
(See Annex A.1.2 for climate-related risks and opportunities per subsidiary)

4. ENVIRONMENT
The nature of our businesses and our reliance on technology necessarily entail high consumption of
energy. Hence, we optimize our energy consumption in relation to our operational needs. We aim to
reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by lowering our energy and fuel consumption.
We have full time safety officers to monitor and control the use of fuel and energy dependent on the
volume of construction activities in the specific phase of construction projects through the use of efficient
equipment and power conservation in the facilities. Additionally, specific actions for our goals include the
right selection of equipment size efficiency and capacity, and energy conservation programs through
awareness campaigns.
We also implemented energy conservation initiatives such as power management, process optimization
and improvement, installation of solar panels for renewable energy, refurbishment of equipment,
automation, LED lights, and installation of variable frequency drives for large pumps and motors.
DMCI Holdings aims for the continuous efficient use of energy in all its subsidiaries. Maynilad has the
highest total electricity consumption, and the lowest total electricity consumption comes from DMCI
Mining.
In terms of fuel, D.M. Consunji, Inc. and Maynilad both consumed diesel and gasoline only. Meanwhile,
DMCI Project Developers, Inc. and DMCI Mining utilized LPG in addition to diesel and gasoline.
14
4.2. Effluents and Wastes (306)
Guided by our core values, we aim to lessen our water consumption, ensure that the quality of water
discharge is passed in accordance with the regulatory standard, and reduce the volume of generated
hazardous and solid wastes. We also comply with applicable legislation and the needs of relevant
interested parties associated with our operations and services.
One of our goals in DMCI Holdings is to ensure the protection of the environment and the occupational
health and safety of our workforce. As such, our subsidiaries are certified to various international
standards per industry as a symbol of our responsibilities in relation to environmental protection in the
conduct of our businesses and in compliance with government regulations, particularly the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
We have set in place treatment and waste management programs in accordance with the applicable laws
such as RA 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000) and RA 6969 (Toxic Substances and
Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990). These include transportation and treatment of waste
through DENR-accredited haulers and treaters, waste segregation at source, and most importantly,
recycling.
With the expertise of our EMS manager and our pollution control officers, our goals for environmental
management include zero environmental complaints and zero environmental incidents. In addition, we
provide personnel as well as infrastructure such as material recovery facilities, waste treatment facilities,
and accredited hazardous waste haulers and treaters.
We have a set of water sources and discharge destinations for each of our subsidiaries to ensure the
quality of water in the area of our operations. Our subsidiary, SMPC, has the highest amount of water
discharge at 878,105,860 cubic meter (cu.m.).
Meanwhile, D.M. Consunji, Inc. operates in Taguig Complex and collects water from Manila Water. We do
not have any discharge as (per ECC) we also treat and recycle our water.
DMCI Homes’ headquarter is in Bangkal, Makati City and stores water discharge at two septic tanks with
capacities of 75 cu.m. and 20 cu.m., to treat it with Vigormin which overflows at the barangay sewer.
Moreover, Maynilad has business activities in different locations in Metro Manila (Manila, Muntinlupa,
Caloocan, Quezon City, Pasay, and Paranaque) and sources water either from Angat Dam or Laguna Lake.
Our water discharge amounted to 74,499,823.93 cu.m. proceeds to different destinations (such as Estero
De Santibanez, Pasong Diablo River, Maypajo Creek, Culiat Creek, Dario Creek, San Francisco River,
Mairbolo Creek, San Juan River, Talayan Creek, Delain Creek, Malabon Creek, and Manila Bay).
DMCI Mining’s site in Barangay Berong, Quezon Palawan sources water from Libungan River with a water
discharge of 954,579 cu.m., while our operations in Sitio Acoje, Barangay Lucapon South, Sta. Cruz,
Zambales sources water from Kinabuang Kabayo.
DMCI Power also conducts its operations in different provinces namely, Palawan, Masbate, and Oriental
Mindoro. Our project in Palawan sources water from deep well and rain water and discharges a total
amount of 15,154 cu.m. Our power plant in Barangay Tugbo, Mobo, Masbate collects water from deep
15
well and water district, and disposes water based on the discharge permit issued by the DENR-EMB which
is less than or equal to 17 cu.m. per day then proceeds to the Mobo Bay (classified as class SB water body
by the DENR-EMB). Meanwhile, our operations in Sta. Isabel, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro sources
water from Calapan Water.
(See Annex A.1.3.2.1 for water discharge by quality and destination per subsidiary.)
Most of the non-hazardous wastes generated were either recycled, composted, or brought to the landfill.
Among our subsidiaries, D.M. Consunji, Inc. has the highest total solid waste generated.
Maynilad has stored the largest amount of hazardous wastes onsite, followed by DMCI Mining. Maynilad
also has the largest amount of hazardous wastes that were disposed of and treated by a third-party

DMCI Holdings sees to it that our relationship with our employees, whether regular or project-based, is
always healthy and fruitful. As such, our HR and administration departments have a dedicated process
and resources to address issues with labor relations such as new employment contracts, renewal of
contracts and transfer notifications, and employee engagement programs.
Our Company has Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which all employees must follow. Applicable labor
laws and regulations are also being complied with. Moreover, we aim to comply with applicable legislation
and the needs of relevant interested parties associated with our operations and services which include its
own workforce. These are all done with the goal of developing and maintaining the best workforce in the
construction industry. Thus, employee engagement programs such as sports festivals, contests, and
surveys are implemented to pursue this goal. With our HR department at the fore, employee relation
issues are discussed during the monthly corporate administration department meetings such as the
number of violations, the status of cases, and other issues concerning the welfare of employees.
In terms of operational changes, our employees are provided a minimum notice period of 30 days, except
for Semirara Mining and Power Corporation with a minimum notice period of 1 week. Additionally, our
Code on Proper Conduct is reviewed and amended annually as deemed necessary.
21
5.3 Occupational Health and Safety (403)
In our business, safety is of the highest priority. Thus, our Company aims to provide the highest
operational health and safety standards, and the prevention of accidents, injury, loss, or damage. Another
part of our Company goals is to provide appropriate resources and facilitate a safety mindset of all
employees, regular or project based, and our subcontractors.
One of the strongest objectives of our Company is building structures of technical integrity that enhance
both the society and the nation's progress while ensuring the protection of the environment and a healthy
and safe workplace for our employees and other stakeholders affected by our business operations. As
such, our Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) Department ensures zero loss time as well as an accident
and injury-free workplace. Also, a labor representative is elected in each project's health and safety
committee as a medium to convey concerns to our top management. Our adherence to health and safety
include daily tool box meetings, consultations with regulatory bodies, mandatory safety orientation and
training, annual physical exam, provisions of personal protective equipment (PPEs), clinic, occupational
health personnel, and first aiders. Lastly, incidents and accidents are reported in the monthly EHS
meetings and appropriate actions are discussed for implementation. All workers of the six subsidiaries of
DMCI Holdings are covered by their respective occupational health and safety management systems.
5.3.1 Workers covered by an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (403-8)
All employees of all DMCI Holdings subsidiaries, including Maynilad, are covered by an Occupational
Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS 18001:2007) that has been internally and externally
audited.
We invest in the future by providing our employees and workers with the necessary skills to be effective
in carrying out their tasks and responsibilities. Additional training and education will help to improve the
skills of our people, thereby improving the standard of services and raising employee morale.
We have internal training programs to address the training requirements of our employees. We conduct
Engineers' Development Program, Management Development Program, and National Certification II
Trainings. Additionally, training evaluation is conducted to determine the effectiveness of the training
given. The results of training evaluation are reviewed, and necessary modifications are implemented.
Training programs are selected and implemented based on HR’s training needs analysis every year. The
HR competency framework identifies the required skill sets, knowledge, and abilities per role under each
division or functional category. Also, all employees of our subsidiaries receive performance and career
development review to assess their proficiencies on their respective tasks (404-3). This review is also the
basis of the type of training to be provided to our people the next year.
22
DMCI Holdings provided an average of 32.69 training hours for male and 35.83 training hours for female
employees last 2019.
5.4.2 Programs for upgrading employee skills and transition assistance programs (404-2)

One of our Company’s policies for our local communities is to formally assess the environmental aspects
in all stages of the construction life cycle and incorporate systems that eliminate or control impacts. Local
communities are directly affected by the operations of our subsidiaries. Since these communities are our
primary source of manpower and space to produce our goods and services, it is our responsibility to
maintain a good relationship with the residents and the local government units of these municipalities
and provinces. Our social responsibility as a Company is stated in our Corporate Mission and in one of the
corporate values. Finally, we also intend to contribute to meeting the national targets for the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
5.5.1 Operations with local community engagement, impact assessments and development programs
(413-1)
All subsidiaries of DMCI Holdings have implemented local community engagement, impact assessments,
and/or development programs in their operational sites. For DMCI, all projects have Aspect Identification
and Impact Assessment (AIIA) programs within the construction period.
We engage with our local communities through different development programs across our subsidiaries.
In Maynilad, we have a Plant for Life project where we planted a total of 36,070 mangroves covering
24
approximately 39.4 hectares. We also partnered with various schools to implement programs that involve
the students. To improve quality education, we participated in Brigada Eskwela of which we adopted 170
schools. In addition, as we value having clean and safe water in the communities, we installed 50 drink-
wash areas in a total of 541 beneficiary schools since 2008, and converted another 150,000 elementary
and high school students into “Water Warriors.”
Another subsidiary, DMCI Power, also took part in regular social development programs in its sites in
Mindoro, Palawan, and Masbate. It has a wide range of programs for the communities in various areas
such as in livelihood (small-scale broiler chicken raising/poultry farm production, skills training on bread
and pastry production, turmeric cultivation), environment (river clean-up and rehabilitation and
nationwide tree planting activity), health (dental mission, busog-lusog nutrition feeding program, and
Doktor ng Barangay program), among others.
5.5.2 Operations with significant actual and potential negative impacts on local communities (413-2)
We ensure to provide quality services to our stakeholders in local communities, but at the same time, we
recognize our significant actual and potential negative impacts. In DMCI, some of our potential negative
impacts include dust and noise from construction activities, vehicular traffic in infrastructure project
locations, and contamination of hazardous wastes such as used oil and batteries. Moreover, in DMCI
Power, we are currently monitoring potential effects such as oil spills, emissions, pollution, and
wastewater management.
The health and safety impacts of our businesses to our customers directly affect the brand and reputation
of DMCI Holdings and its subsidiaries. Our customers are one of the major contributors to the economic
success of our businesses, so we have to maintain a good relationship with them by providing the best
quality of our products and services.
We comply with the applicable legislation and needs of relevant interested parties associated with our
operations and services which include the National Building Code and other codes and specifications. This
is in relation to our mission which is to focus on building structures of technical integrity that enhance
both the society and the nation’s overall progress.
We also manage the quality of our products and services by conducting regular and systematic
assessments to ensure that it will not cause any harm to our customers. One of our subsidiaries, SMPC,
reported that 100% of our products and services are assessed for improvement. At SMPC, we also conduct
orientations on stockpile management for our customers. Moreover, our other subsidiaries also have
different initiatives to ensure the health and safety impacts of our products and services to our customers.
in DMCI, we aim to be 100% compliant to applicable codes and specifications based on the contract
requirements. Moreover, as part of our value-creation for our clients, issues with workmanship defects
are reported during the defect liability period, and issues with warranty are addressed by the project
team. We also ensure that professional indemnity insurance is applied to cover issues that may arise on
the design, safety, and performance. We also conduct corporate quality assurance and control meetings
to discuss issues with quality performance and non-conformities identified in the ongoing and completed
25
project. Occupancy permit inspections are transmitted to the Company as the contractor for necessary
corrective actions in case of deficiencies and nonconformities with all applicable laws and regulations.
In Maynilad, our policies on customer health and safety are guided by the Philippine National Standards
for Drinking Water (PNSDW). To assure that we are distributing a good and safe quality of water to our
customers, the water samples we collect undergo strict bacteriological, physical, and chemical
examinations. Our newly expanded central laboratory is accredited by the Department of Health (DOH)
as a laboratory for drinking water analysis. Our lab technicians ensure that we follow the new quality
parameters set by the DOH’s updated PNSDW. We also invested in a new central laboratory and
equipment in the area of our operations.
5.6.1 Assessment of the health and safety impacts of product and service categories (416-1)
For DMCI Holdings, all our projects have established a Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Control
(HIRAC) process. For Maynilad, we have established a company-wide system procedure for HIRAC which
was implemented to all its divisions. We also have a Maynilad Water Safety Plan, and we separated a tool
for assessing the OHS risk of our contractors and subcontractors. For DMCI Mining, we have established
an effective process of implementing programs to identify, evaluate, and control the hazards and risks
that we might encounter. Thus, it resulted in a good safety performance record for the company. In fact,
we have no record of fatal incidents and reduction of our recorded accidents to zero since the inception
of the project.
5.6.2 Incidents of non-compliance concerning the health and safety impacts of products and services (416-
2)
Our efforts and hard work are the reasons for our Company’s best results. We take pride that DMCI Mining
has no record of non-compliance with laws and voluntary codes. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts,
one of our subsidiaries, DMCI, has recorded two different incidents of non-compliance concerning the
health and safety impacts of our products and services. One incident of non-compliance with regulations
resulting in warning was due to an infrastructure-environmental complaint, while the other was four
incidents of non-compliance with voluntary codes based on the findings of the external audit.
Business continuity is vital to any business, and DMCI Holdings aims to comply with all government
regulations, specifically on social and economic areas. It is our responsibility to be transparent to the
government to avoid sanctions, penalties, or worse, suspension of our operations. Compliance obligations
such as applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances are being identified through the compliance
obligations registries related to labor, business and EHS laws. Compliance with these obligations is being
reported on a quarterly basis to the Corporate Compliance Officer (CCO).
In DMCI Holdings, we comply with applicable legislation and the needs of relevant interested parties
associated with our operations and services. Our administration and legal departments, as well as our
corporate compliance officers, ensure zero fines and work stoppage due to non-compliance with
26
regulatory requirements. We also conduct compliance obligations reviews, results of which are reported
to the CCO for applicable actions.
5.7.1 Non-compliance with laws and regulations in the social and economic area (419-1)
However, our socioeconomic obligations also involve transparency at all times. Thus, in 2019, we have
encountered instances in one of our subsidiaries involving non-compliance. There is a case between the
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) and Pollution Adjudication Bureau and
Environmental Management Bureau wherein Maynilad was ordered to pay the following: (1) Php
921,464,184 for the period 7 May 2009 to 6 August 2019, and (2) Php 322,102 per day, subject to further
10% increase every two years until full compliance with Section 8 of the Clean Water Act. As of writing,
the Motion for Reconsideration is still pending with the Supreme Court.
Another case faced by Maynilad in 2019 is the Notice of Non-Conformance from the MWSS Regulatory
Office, specifically 26 incidents of non-compliance with water and wastewater quality standards (22 for
water quality standards, and four for wastewater quality standards). As of writing, there is still no formal
communication regarding the corresponding penalties/fines for the case. Nevertheless, the MWSS
Regulatory Office (MWSS RO) fined Maynilad amounting to Php 2,500 per water service connection which
is equivalent to Php 5,792,500 for the 2,317 severely affected accounts as the situation has already
affected the customers in PMP Pagkakaisa, CAA Las Pinas City for more than 15 consecutive days.
Furthermore, a total of Php 574,080 was fined to Maynilad for the 19,136 accounts affected by the water
discoloration occasioned by the water interruption. These penalties were settled in a form of rebates that
were provided to Maynilad customers.

One of the greatest contributions of D.M. Consunji, Inc. is spurring developments where its infrastructure
and other buildings projects are located. For instance, we were able to provide local employment to
construction workers in various provincial areas such as Batangas, Davao, Marinduque, Ormoc, Zambales,
Tacloban, and Iligan. The employment of the local workers generates small businesses like canteens, sari-
sari stores, laundry shops, food stalls, and apartments.
D.M. Consunji, Inc. has also collaborated with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) to upgrade the skills of the Company’s construction workers. With this, we hope to set above
industry standards in the implementation of its construction work activities. Additionally, we conduct in-
house professional skills training and career development of their engineers, architects, and other
professionals.
Furthermore, D.M. Consunji, Inc. participates in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
projects. The LEED is the premier global program for green and sustainable buildings and communities.
Through these projects, we efficiently use energy and practices environmental protection of the built
environment.

SEMIRARA MINING AND POWER CORPORATION
Local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) thrive in a robust economy driven by SMPC’s mining and
related activities. Brgy. Semirara, a direct impact community in Semirara Island, has recorded 283 renewal
business permits and 181 new permits in 2019. In addition, local residents are able to enjoy an affordable
rate of Php 5 per kwh because of SMPC’s continuing electricity subsidy of Php 2.50 per kwh through the
Antique Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ANTECO).
SMPC’s infirmary services have also served 28,735 patients in 2019. About 49% of which are employees,
while 28% are employee dependents. Moreover, the infirmary catered 6,488 community members.
Currently, the infirmary employs three physicians, two dentists, three medical technologists, one
radiologic technologist, one midwife, and 11 nurses.
SMPC has also allotted Php 7.1 million to develop and maintain infrastructure in the island such as a 31-
km main road network and flyover. SMPC also provided dredging works for the completion of the
Pinagpala Public Seaport facility which is now used by passenger boats and fishing vessels plying to and
from Semirara Island. This project provides easier sea transportation access to the community. Likewise,
SMPC spends more than Php 500,000 annually to operate its bus transport service. There are eight bus
trips scheduled at regular intervals to ply the 22km Semirara – Alegria route daily. SMPC grants free
transportation to the employees, students, and community members. Around 1,600 personnel utilize the
bus service daily.
The Company has also developed a Master of Arts in Education Program for public and private school
teachers in the island. This program started in 2019 which aims to improve the teachers’ competency and
to continue their professional development. To date, 183 teachers from 10 public and private schools
have completed the program and have applied their learnings in improving their teaching methods and
curriculum to their respective schools. SMPC has already invested Php 1.8 million for this program.
Since 2006, SMPC has also partnered with the Semirara Training Center, Inc. (STCI) in providing TESDA-
certified skilled manpower to support the Company’s operations. Graduates are trained in the fields of
automotive servicing, shielded metal arc welding, machine shop practice and electrical installation and
maintenance. In 2019, there were 138 students enrolled in this program.
DMCI Mining’s operations have significantly driven economic development in its areas of operations. For
instance, Brgy. Berong in Quezon, Palawan is currently the second most economically stable barangay in
the municipality. The Company has also contributed to the increase in income of local SMEs brought about
by the rise in the consumer power of the residents. The locals who are working in the Company are able
to purchase home appliances and transportation vehicles. Moreover, DMCI Mining provides potable
water to its community members.
In the area of education, DMCI Mining has helped 116 students from 2011 to 2019 graduate from college.
The graduates have been employed by the Company and are able to provide for their family.
34
DMCI Mining has also provided skills training in agro-forestry and aquafarming. This increased the quality
and quantity of farmers and fishermen in Brgys. Berong and Aramaywan. Likewise, the Company
continuously enhances the skills of its community health workers.
The continuous efficient operation of DMCI Power has brought about the increase of growth-inducing
potential for the communities situated in its areas of operations. Reliable electricity is an essential factor
in attaining development in these areas. Lesser power outages brought about by the existence of the
Company’s power plants have made possible a steady pace in progress through relentless construction of
new buildings for tourism, improvement of infrastructure, building of hospitals, schools, and churches.
Likewise, DMCI Power has induced changes to the pattern of land use or the construction and
rehabilitation of road networks, leading to and from communities that now have access to electricity. This
opens them to opportunities for commerce and trade.
DMCI Power has generated employment in nearby communities, wherein areas teeming with business
and potential for growth attract individuals who view these areas as avenues for opportunities to improve
or uplift their social well-being.
There has also been an increase in recreational activities in areas where electricity is reliable, consistent,
and affordable, providing people the necessary respite, enjoyment, and pleasure to achieve the
appropriate balance in their lives.
