Metro Retail Stores Group (MRSGI) has achieved remarkable revenue growth in FY25, exceeding the PhP40-billion (approximately US$662.8 million) milestone. This growth was fueled by consistent sales growth, margin expansion, and ongoing network development.
MRSGI reported a net income of PhP682.64 million (US$12.2 million), marking a 12 per cent increase from the previous year. This substantial increase was driven by improved operational efficiency and the contributions derived from new store launches.
