“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.”

For FY2018, the Company generated sales of PhP 27.6 billion in the financial year ending April 2018 (“FY2018”).
About two-thirds of DMPI’s sales are in the core Philippine market, and the balance in exports which gives the Company a natural hedge against the US dollar. Sales in the Philippines expanded by 5% to PhP 17.2 billion, offsetting the marginal 2% decline in export sales to PhP 10.6 billion, resulting in a 3% growth in total DMPI sales. DMPI maintained its dominant market position in the Philippines in categories it competes in.
In the past three years since DMPI generated sales of PhP 22 billion in FY2015, sales have grown to PhP 27.6 billion at a compounded annual growth rate of 7.9%, higher than GDP growth. The Company expanded sales in the Philippines across all categories led by culinary, followed by beverages and packaged fruits, as well as channels led by foodservice, followed by modern trade and general trade.
From a net income PhP 1.1 billion in FY2015, its earnings have significantly increased by PhP 1.5 billion to PhP 2.6 billion in the past three years at a compounded annual growth rate of 31%. The Company achieved this through improvement in gross profit from higher sales volume, margin increase from the Philippine market, higher mix of fresh pineapple sales under S&W, aided by the weak peso versus the US dollar, revaluation of biological assets, improving operational efficiency and cost management.
