REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders


San Miguel Corporation
No. 40 San Miguel Avenue
Mandaluyong City

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of San Miguel Corporation and
Subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial
position as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022, and notes, comprising significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.

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,
2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in accordance
with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSA).


Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
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 audits 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

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.

Revenue recognition (P1,506,591 million).


Refer to Notes 6, 25 and 33 of the consolidated financial statements.

The risk
Revenue is an important measure used to evaluate the performance of the
Group and is generated from various sources. It is accounted for when control of
the goods or services is transferred to the customer over time or at a point in
time, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. While revenue recognition
and measurement are not complex for the Group, revenues may be
inappropriately recognized in order to improve business results and achieve
revenue growth in line with the objectives of the Group, thus increasing the risk
of material misstatement.

Our response
We performed the following audit procedures, among others, on revenue
recognition:

▪ We evaluated and assessed the revenue recognition policies in accordance


with PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

▪ We evaluated and assessed the design and operating effectiveness of the


key controls over the revenue process.

▪ We involved our information technology specialists, as applicable, to assist in


the audit of automated controls, including interface controls among different
information technology applications for the evaluation of the design and
operating effectiveness of controls over the recording of revenue
transactions.

▪ We vouched, on a sampling basis, sales transactions to supporting


documentation such as sales invoices and delivery documents to ascertain
that the revenue recognition criteria is met.

▪ We tested, on a sampling basis, sales transactions for the last month of the
financial year and also the first month of the following financial year to
supporting documentation such as sales invoices and delivery documents to
assess whether these transactions are recorded in the appropriate financial
year.

▪ We tested, on a sampling basis, journal entries posted to revenue accounts


to identify unusual or irregular items.

▪ We tested, on a sampling basis, credit notes issued after the financial year, to
identify and assess any credit notes that relate to sales transactions
recognized during the financial year.
Valuation of Goodwill (P184,100 million).
Refer to Notes 4 and 17 of the consolidated financial statements.

The risk
The Group has embarked on a diversification strategy and has expanded into
new businesses through a number of acquisitions and investments resulting in
the recognition of a significant amount of goodwill. The goodwill of the acquired
businesses are reviewed annually to evaluate whether events or changes in
circumstances affect the recoverability of the Group's investments.

The methods used in the annual impairment test of goodwill are complex and
judgmental in nature, utilizing assumptions on future market and/or economic
conditions. The assumptions used include future cash flow projections, growth
rates, discount rates and sensitivity analyses, with a greater focus on more
recent trends and current market interest rates, and less reliance on historical
trends.

Our response
We performed the following audit procedures, among others, on the valuation of
goodwill:

▪ We assessed management’s determination of the recoverable amounts


based on fair value less costs to sell or a valuation using cash flow
projections (value in use) covering a five-year period based on long range
plans approved by management. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are
extrapolated using a constant growth rate determined for each individual
cash-generating unit.

▪ We tested the reasonableness of the discounted cash flow model by


comparing the Group’s assumptions to externally derived data such as
relevant industry information, projected economic growth, inflation and
discount rates. Our own valuation specialist assisted us in evaluating the
models used and assumptions applied.

▪ We performed our own sensitivity analyses on the key assumptions used in


the models.
Valuation of Other Intangible Assets (P249,321 million).
Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 17 of the consolidated financial statements.

The risk
The methods used in the annual impairment test for other intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives and tests of impairment indicators for other intangible
assets with finite useful lives are complex and judgmental in nature, utilizing
assumptions on future market and/or economic conditions. These assumptions
include future cash flow projections, growth rates, discount rates and sensitivity
analyses, with a greater focus on more recent trends and current market interest
rates, and less reliance on historical trends.

Our response
We performed the following audit procedures, among others, on the valuation of
other intangible assets:

▪ We evaluated and assessed management’s methodology in identifying any


potential indicators of impairment.

▪ We assessed management’s determination of the recoverable amounts


based on a valuation using cash flow projections (value in use) covering a
five-year period based on long range plans approved by management. Cash
flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a constant growth
rate determined for each individual cash-generating unit.

▪ We tested the reasonableness of the discounted cash flow model by


comparing the Group’s assumptions to externally derived data such as
relevant industry information, projected economic growth, inflation and
discount rates. Our own valuation specialist assisted us in evaluating the
models used and assumptions applied.

▪ We performed our own sensitivity analyses on the key assumptions used in


the models.

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, 2022, but does not
include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The
SEC Form 20-IS, SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report for the year ended December 31,
2022 are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ 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 PFRS, 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.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 auditors’ 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 PSA 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with PSA, 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
ANNEX “B-1”

▪ 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 group 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards
applied.

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 auditors’ 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.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is
Darwin P. Virocel.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when
it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The
Group reassesses 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.

When the Group has less than 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.

-5-
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date when the Group obtains control, and continue to be
consolidated until the date when such control ceases.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting
period as the Parent Company, using uniform accounting policies for like
transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Intergroup balances and
transactions, including intergroup unrealized profits and losses, are eliminated in
preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not
attributable to the Parent Company and are presented in the consolidated
statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income and within
equity in the consolidated statements of financial position, separately from the equity
attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company.

Non-controlling interests include the interests not held by the Parent Company in its
subsidiaries as follows: SMFB, SMYPC, SMYPIL, Petron, SMCTC, TADHC, AMTEX,
AAIBV, SMPI, SMCSLC, Petrogen, AIBC and SMCACDC in 2022 and 2021
(Note 24).

A change in the ownership interest in a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is


accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary,
the Group: (i) derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the
subsidiary, the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests and the cumulative
translation differences recorded in equity; (ii) recognizes the fair value of the
consideration received, the fair value of any investment retained and any surplus or
deficit in the consolidated statements of income; and (iii) reclassify the Parent
Company’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive
income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if
the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods
presented in the consolidated financial statements, except for the changes in
accounting policies as explained below.

The FSRSC approved the adoption of a number of new and amendments to


standards as part of PFRS.

Adoption of Amendments to Standards

The Group has adopted the following amendments to standards effective January 1,
2022 and accordingly, changed its accounting policies in the following areas:

▪ Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to PAS 16, Property, Plant and
Equipment). The amendments prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of
an item of property, plant and equipment the proceeds from selling items
produced before that asset is available for use. The proceeds before intended
use should be recognized in profit or loss, together with the costs of producing
those items which are identified and measured in accordance with PAS 2,
Inventories.

-6-
The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of property, plant and
equipment is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical
performance rather than assessing its financial performance.

For the sale of items that are not part of an entity’s ordinary activities, the
amendments require the entity to disclose separately the sales proceeds and
related production cost recognized in profit or loss and specify the line items in
which such proceeds and costs are included in the statement of income. This
disclosure is not required if such proceeds and cost are presented separately in
the statement of income.

▪ Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to PAS 37,


Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets). The amendments
clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is
onerous includes all costs that relate directly to a contract, i.e., it comprises both
incremental costs and an allocation of other direct costs.

▪ Annual Improvements to PFRS 2018-2020. This cycle of improvements contains


amendments to four standards, of which the following are applicable to the
Group:

o Fees in the ‘10 percent’ Test for Derecognition of Financial Liabilities


(Amendment to PFRS 9, Financial Instruments). The amendment clarifies
that for the purpose of performing the ‘10 percent’ test for derecognition of
financial liabilities, the fees paid net of fees received include only fees paid or
received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or
received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf.

o Lease Incentives (Amendment to Illustrative Examples accompanying


PFRS 16, Leases). The amendment deletes from the Illustrative Example 13
the reimbursement relating to leasehold improvements to remove the
potential for confusion because the example had not explained clearly
enough the conclusion as to whether the reimbursement would meet the
definition of a lease incentive in PFRS 16.

o Taxation in Fair Value Measurements (Amendment to PAS 41, Agriculture).


The amendment removes the requirement to exclude cash flows for taxation
when measuring fair value, thereby aligning the fair value measurement
requirements in PAS 41 with those in PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement.

▪ Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to PFRS 3, Business


Combinations). The amendments:

o replaced a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation


of Financial Statements, issued in 1989, with a reference to the Conceptual
Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018, without
significantly changing its requirements;

o added a requirement that, for transactions and other events within the scope
of PAS 37 or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee
(IFRIC) 21, Levies, an acquirer applies PAS 37 or IFRIC 21 instead of the
Conceptual Framework to identify the liabilities it has assumed in a business
combination; and

o added an explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognize contingent


assets acquired in a business combination.

-7-
The adoption of the amendments to standards did not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

New and Amendments to Standards Not Yet Adopted

A number of new and amendments to standards are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after January 1, 2022 and have not been applied in preparing the
consolidated financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant
effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The Group will adopt the following new and amendments to standards on the
respective effective dates:

▪ Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to PAS 8, Accounting Policies,


Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors). The amendments clarify that
accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the financial statements that are
subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments also clarify the
relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates by specifying
that an accounting estimate is developed to achieve the objective set out by an
accounting policy. Developing an accounting estimate includes both selecting a
measurement technique (estimate or valuation technique) and choosing the
inputs to be used when applying the chosen measurement technique. The
effects of changes in the inputs or measurement techniques are changes in
accounting estimates. The definition of accounting policies remains unchanged.
The amendments also provide examples on the application of the new definition.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments apply
prospectively to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting
policies occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period in
which the amendments are applied.

▪ Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to PAS 1, Presentation of


Financial Statements, and PFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality
Judgments). The key amendments to PAS 1 include requiring entities to disclose
material accounting policies rather than significant accounting policies; clarifying
that accounting policies related to immaterial transactions, other events or
conditions are immaterial and as such need not be disclosed; and clarifying that
not all accounting policies that relate to material transactions, other events or
conditions are material to the financial statements. The amendments to PFRS
Practice Statement 2 include guidance and additional examples on the
application of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted.

▪ Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction
(Amendments to PAS 12, Income Taxes). The amendments require an entity to
recognize deferred tax on transactions, such as leases for the lessee and
decommissioning obligations, that give rise to equal amounts of taxable and
deductible temporary differences on initial recognition.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted.

-8-
▪ Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to PFRS 16). The
amendments confirm the following:

o On initial recognition, the seller-lessee includes variable lease payments


when it measures a lease liability arising from a sale and leaseback
transaction.

o After initial recognition, the seller-lessee applies the general requirements for
subsequent accounting of the lease liability such that it recognizes no gain or
loss relating to the right-of-use asset it retains.

A seller-lessee may adopt different approaches that satisfy the new requirements
on subsequent measurement.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning or after
January 1, 2024, with earlier application permitted. Under PAS 8, the
amendments apply retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered
into or after the date of initial adoption of PFRS 16.

▪ Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent - 2020 Amendments and


Noncurrent Liabilities with Covenants - 2022 Amendments (Amendments to
PAS 1). To promote consistency in application and clarify the requirements on
determining whether a liability is current or noncurrent, the amendments:

o removed the requirement for a right to defer settlement of a liability for at


least 12 months after the reporting period to be unconditional and instead
require that the right must have substance and exist at the reporting date;

o clarified that only covenants with which the entity must comply on or before
the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or
noncurrent and covenants with which the entity must comply after the
reporting date do not affect a liability’s classification at that date;

o provided additional disclosure requirements for noncurrent liabilities subject


to conditions within 12 months after the reporting period to enable the
assessment of the risk that the liability could become repayable within
12 months; and

o clarified that settlement of a liability includes transferring an entity’s own


equity instruments to the counterparty, but conversion options that are
classified as equity do not affect classification of the liability as current or
noncurrent.

The amendments apply retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on


or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

-9-
▪ PFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, replaces the interim standard, PFRS 4,
Insurance Contracts, and establishes the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the
scope of the standard. The new standard reflects the view that an insurance
contract combines features of both a financial instrument and a service contract,
and considers the fact that many insurance contracts generate cash flows with
substantial variability over a long period. PFRS 17 introduces a new approach
that: (a) combines current measurement of the future cash flows with the
recognition of profit over the period services are provided under the contract;
(b) presents insurance service results (including presentation of insurance
revenue) separately from insurance finance income or expenses; and
(c) requires an entity to make an accounting policy choice portfolio-by-portfolio of
whether to recognize all insurance finance income or expenses for the reporting
period in profit or loss or to recognize some of that income or expenses in other
comprehensive income.

Under PFRS 17, groups of insurance contracts are measured based on


fulfillment cash flows, which represent the risk-adjusted present value of the
entity’s rights and obligations to the policyholders, and a contractual service
margin, which represents the unearned profit the entity will recognize as it
provides services over the coverage period. Subsequent to initial recognition, the
liability of a group of insurance contracts represents the liability for remaining
coverage and the liability for incurred claims, with the fulfillment cash flows
remeasured at each reporting date to reflect current estimates.

Simplifications or modifications to the general measurement model apply to


groups of insurance contracts measured using the ‘premium allocation
approach’, investment contracts with discretionary participation features, and
reinsurance contracts held.

PFRS 17 brings greater comparability and transparency about the profitability of


new and in-force business and gives users of financial statements more insight
into an insurer’s financial health. Separate presentation of underwriting and
financial results will give added transparency about the sources of profits and
quality of earnings.

On December 15, 2021, the FSRSC amended the mandatory effective date of
PFRS 17 from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2025. This is consistent with
Circular Letter No. 2020-62 issued by the Insurance Commission which deferred
the implementation of PFRS 17 by two years after its effective date as decided
by the IASB. Full retrospective application is required, unless it is impracticable,
in which case the entity chooses to apply the modified retrospective approach or
the fair value approach. However, if the entity cannot obtain reasonable and
supportable information necessary to apply the modified retrospective approach,
then it applies the fair value approach. There is also a transition option allowing
presentation of comparative information about financial assets using a
classification overlay approach on a basis that is more consistent with how
PFRS 9 will be applied in future reporting periods. Early application is permitted
for entities that apply PFRS 9 on or before the date of initial application of
PFRS 17.

- 10 -
Deferral of the local implementation of Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated
Financial Statements, and PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures:
Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint
Venture.

▪ The amendments address an inconsistency in the requirements in PFRS 10 and


PAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and
its associate or joint venture. The amendments require that a full gain or loss is
recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a
subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction
involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are
housed in a subsidiary.

Originally, the amendments apply prospectively for annual reporting periods


beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. However,
on January 13, 2016, the FSRSC decided to postpone the effective date of these
amendments until the IASB has completed 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.

Current versus Noncurrent Classification


The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial
position based on current and noncurrent classification. An asset is current when it
is: (a) expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal
operating cycle; (b) held primarily for the purpose of trading; (c) expected to be
realized within 12 months after the reporting period; or (d) cash or cash equivalent
unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
12 months after the reporting period.

A liability is current when: (a) it is expected to be settled in the normal operating


cycle; (b) it is held primarily for trading; (c) it is due to be settled within 12 months
after the reporting period; or (d) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

The Group classifies all other assets and liabilities as noncurrent. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement. A financial instrument is any contract that gives
rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity.

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the consolidated


statements of financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing


component) or financial liability is initially measured at the fair value of the
consideration given or received. The initial measurement of financial instruments,
except for financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL, includes transaction costs.
A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at
the transaction price.

- 11 -
Financial Assets
The Group classifies its financial assets, at initial recognition, as subsequently
measured at amortized cost, FVOCI and FVPL. The classification depends on the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets and the business model
of the Group for managing the financial assets.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are not reclassified unless the
Group changes the business model for managing financial assets. All affected
financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the reporting period following the
change in the business model.

The business model refers to how the Group manages the 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.

The Group considers the following information in assessing the objective of the
business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level, which reflects
the way the business is managed and information is provided to management:

▪ the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those
policies in practice;

▪ how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s
management;

▪ the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial
assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

▪ how employees of the business are compensated; and

▪ the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the
reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

The Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument in assessing whether
the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. For
purposes of this assessment, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial
asset on initial recognition. “Interest” is defined as consideration for the time value of
money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during
a particular period of time for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g., liquidity risk
and administrative costs), as well as profit margin. The assessment includes whether
the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or
amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. The
Group considers the following in making the assessment:

▪ contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

▪ terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate
features;

▪ prepayment and extension features; and

▪ terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets.

- 12 -
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest
criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include
reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a
financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a
feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially
represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest
(which may also include reasonable compensation for early termination) is treated as
consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant
at initial recognition.

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the


following categories: financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at FVOCI
(with or without recycling of cumulative gains and losses) and financial assets at
FVPL.

Financial Assets at Amortized Cost. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost


if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVPL:

▪ it is held within a business model with the objective of holding financial assets to
collect contractual cash flows; and

▪ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective
interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in
the consolidated statements of income when the financial asset is derecognized,
modified or impaired.

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, investment in
debt instruments at amortized cost, noncurrent receivables and deposits, and
restricted cash are included under this category (Notes 7, 8, 10, 12, 18, 39 and 40).

Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Financial Assets at FVOCI. Investment in debt instruments is measured at FVOCI if it


meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVPL:

▪ it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting


contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and

▪ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

At initial recognition of an investment in equity instrument that is not held for trading,
the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the fair value in
other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument
basis.

Financial assets at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair
value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

- 13 -
Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange
gains and losses and impairment on investment in debt instruments are recognized
in the consolidated statements of income. When investment in debt instruments at
FVOCI is derecognized, the related accumulated gains or losses previously reported
in the consolidated statements of changes in equity are transferred to and
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Dividends earned on holding an investment in equity instrument are recognized as


dividend income in the consolidated statements of income when the right to receive
the payment has been established, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery
of the part of the cost of the investment. When investment in equity instruments at
FVOCI is derecognized, the related accumulated gains or losses previously reported
in the consolidated statements of changes in equity are never reclassified to the
consolidated statements of income.

The Group’s investments in equity and debt instruments at FVOCI are classified
under this category (Notes 10, 12, 39 and 40).

Financial Assets at FVPL. All financial assets not classified as measured at


amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. This includes derivative financial
assets that are not designated as cash flow hedge. Financial assets that are held for
trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis
are measured at FVPL.

At initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset as at


FVPL if the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch
that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the
gains and losses on different bases.

The Group carries financial assets at FVPL using their fair values. Attributable
transaction costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as
incurred. Changes in fair value and realized gains or losses are recognized in the
consolidated statements of income. Fair value changes from derivatives accounted
for as part of an effective cash flow hedge are recognized in other comprehensive
income and presented in the statements of changes in equity. Any interest earned
from investment in debt instrument designated as at FVPL is recognized in the
consolidated statements of income. Any dividend income from investment in equity
instrument is recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the right to
receive payment has been established, unless the dividend clearly represents a
recovery of the part of the cost of the investment.

The Group’s derivative assets that are not designated as cash flow hedge and
investments in equity and debt instruments at FVPL are classified under this
category (Notes 10, 18, 33, 39 and 40).

Financial Liabilities
The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities, at initial recognition,
in the following categories: financial liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans
and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial Liabilities at FVPL. Financial liabilities are classified under this category
through the fair value option. Derivative instruments (including embedded
derivatives) with negative fair values, except those covered by hedge accounting
relationships, are also classified under this category.

- 14 -
The Group carries financial liabilities at FVPL using their fair values and reports fair
value changes in the consolidated statements of income. Fair value changes from
derivatives accounted for as part of an effective cash flow hedge are recognized in
other comprehensive income and presented in the consolidated statements of
changes in equity. Any interest expense incurred is recognized as part of “Interest
expense and other financing charges” account in the consolidated statements of
income.

The Group’s derivative liabilities that are not designated as cash flow hedge are
classified under this category (Notes 20, 22, 39 and 40).

Other Financial Liabilities. This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not
designated or classified as at FVPL. After initial measurement, other financial
liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized
cost is calculated by taking into account any premium or discount and any directly
attributable transaction costs that are considered an integral part of the effective
interest rate of the liability. The effective interest rate amortization is included in
“Interest expense and other financing charges” account in the consolidated
statements of income. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated
statements of income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the
amortization process.

Debt issue costs are considered as an adjustment to the effective yield of the related
debt and are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method. When a
loan is paid, the related unamortized debt issue costs at the date of repayment are
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

The Group’s liabilities arising from its trade transactions or borrowings such as loans
payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, long-term debt, lease liabilities
and other noncurrent liabilities are included under this category (Notes 19, 20, 21,
22, 34, 39 and 40).

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities


Financial Assets. A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or
part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized when:

▪ the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

▪ the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has
assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party
under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either: (a) has transferred substantially
all the risks and rewards of the asset; or (b) 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 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 the
Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes the
associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured
on the 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 is required to repay.

- 15 -
Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the
liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires. 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. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the
consolidated statements of income.

Impairment of Financial Assets


The Group recognizes allowance for expected credit loss (ECL) on financial assets
at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments at FVOCI.

ECLs are probability-weighted estimates of credit losses. Credit losses are measured
as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows
due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group
expects to receive), discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset,
and reflects reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue
cost or effort about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic
conditions.

The Group recognizes an allowance for impairment based on either 12-month or


lifetime ECLs, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased
significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis,
based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and
including forward-looking information.

The Group recognizes lifetime ECLs for receivables that do not contain significant
financing component. The Group uses provision matrix that is based on the Group’s
historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the
borrowers and the economic environment.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether these financial assets at
amortized cost and investments in debt instruments at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A
financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about the
following events:

▪ significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

▪ a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;

▪ the restructuring of a financial asset by the Group on terms that the Group would
not consider otherwise;

▪ it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization; or

▪ the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of


financial difficulties.

- 16 -
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when a counterparty fails to
pay its contractual obligations, or there is a breach of other contractual terms, such
as covenants.

The Group directly reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when
there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows on a
financial asset, either partially or in full. This is generally the case when the Group
determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could
generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However,
financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in
order to comply with the Group's procedures for recovery of amounts due.

The ECLs on financial assets at amortized cost are recognized as allowance for
impairment losses against the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, with the
resulting impairment losses (or reversals) recognized in the consolidated statements
of income. The ECLs on investments in debt instruments at FVOCI are recognized
as accumulated impairment losses in other comprehensive income, with the resulting
impairment losses (or reversals) recognized in the consolidated statements of
income.

Classification of Financial Instruments between Liability and Equity


Financial instruments are classified as liability or equity in accordance with the
substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses
relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are
reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments
classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any related income tax
benefits.

A financial instrument is classified as liability if it provides for a contractual obligation


to:

▪ deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity;

▪ exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under


conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the Group; or

▪ satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or
another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares.

The components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity
elements are accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned
the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole or in part, the
amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date
of issue.

Offsetting Financial Instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in
the consolidated statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently
enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

- 17 -
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forwards, swaps and
options to manage its exposure on foreign currency, interest rate and commodity
price risks. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the
date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair
value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and
as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in the
consolidated statements of income.

Freestanding Derivatives
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the
exposure to variability in cash flows associated with recognized liabilities arising from
changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and


documents the hedge relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge
accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the
hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged
item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the
hedging instrument are expected to offset the changes in cash flows of the hedged
item.

Cash Flow Hedge. When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging


instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is
recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the “Hedging reserve”
account in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. The effective portion of
changes in the fair value of the derivative that is recognized in other comprehensive
income is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item. Any
ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized
immediately in the consolidated statements of income.

The Group designates only the intrinsic value of options and the change in fair value
of the spot element of forward contracts as the hedging instrument in cash flow
hedging relationships. The change in fair value of the time value of options, the
forward element of forward contracts and the foreign currency basis spread of
financial instruments are separately accounted for as cost of hedging and recognized
in other comprehensive income. The cost of hedging is removed from other
comprehensive income and recognized in the consolidated statements of income,
either over the period of the hedge if the hedge is time related, or when the hedged
transaction affects the consolidated statements of income if the hedge is transaction
related.

When the hedged transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-


financial item, the amount accumulated in equity is transferred and included in the
initial cost of the hedged asset or liability. For all other hedged transactions, the
amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to the consolidated statements of
income as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which
the hedged cash flows affect the consolidated statements of income.

- 18 -
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging
instrument expires, is sold, is terminated or is exercised, hedge accounting is
discontinued prospectively. The amount that has been accumulated in equity is:
(a) retained until it is included in the cost of non-financial item on initial recognition,
for a hedge of a transaction resulting in the recognition of a non-financial item; or
(b) reclassified to the consolidated statements of income as a reclassification
adjustment in the same period or periods as the hedged cash flows affect the
consolidated statements of income, for other cash flow hedges. If the hedged future
cash flows are no longer expected to occur, the amounts that have been
accumulated in equity are immediately reclassified to the consolidated statements of
income.

The Group has outstanding derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedge as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Note 40).

Embedded Derivatives
The Group assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated
from the host contracts when the Group becomes a party to the contract.

An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a
derivative if all of the following conditions are met:

(a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not
closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract;

(b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would
meet the definition of a derivative; and

(c) the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized as at FVPL.

However, an embedded derivative is not separated if the host contract is a financial


asset.

Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that
significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.

Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host contracts are accounted for
either as financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL.

The Group has embedded derivatives as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Note 40).

Inventories
Finished goods, goods in process, materials and supplies, raw land inventory and
real estate projects are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

- 19 -
Costs incurred in bringing each inventory to its present location and condition are
accounted for as follows:

Finished goods and goods - at cost, which includes direct materials and labor
in process and a proportion of manufacturing overhead
costs based on normal operating capacity but
excluding borrowing costs; finished goods also
include unrealized gain (loss) on fair valuation of
agricultural produce; costs are determined using
the moving-average method.
Petroleum products (except - at cost, which includes duties and taxes related
lubes and greases) and to the acquisition of inventories; costs are
crude oil determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Lubes and greases, - at cost, which includes duties and taxes related
blending components and to the acquisition of inventories; costs are
polypropylene determined using the moving-average method.
Raw land inventory - at cost, which includes acquisition costs of raw
land intended for sale or development and other
costs and expenses incurred to effect the
transfer of title of the property; costs are
determined using the specific identification of
individual costs.
Real estate projects - at cost, which includes acquisition costs of
property and other costs and expenses incurred
to develop the property; costs are determined
using the specific identification of individual
costs.
Materials, supplies and - at cost, using the specific identification method,
others first-in, first-out method or moving-average
method.
Coal - at cost, using the specific identification method
and weighted average method.

Finished Goods. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Goods in Process. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.

Petroleum Products, Crude Oil, Lubes and Greases, and Aftermarket Specialties.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less the estimated costs to complete and/or market and distribute.

Materials and Supplies, including Coal. Net realizable value is the current
replacement cost.

Any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are
recognized as expense in the year of write-down or loss occurrence. The amount of
reversals of write-down of inventories arising from an increase in net realizable
value, if any, are recognized as reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as
expense in the year in which the reversal occurs.

- 20 -
Real Estate Projects. Net realizable value 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.

Raw Land Inventory. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets


Prepaid expenses represent expenses not yet incurred but already paid in cash.
These are initially recorded as assets and measured at the amount of cash paid.
Subsequently, these are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as
they are consumed or expire with the passage of time.

Other current assets pertain to assets which are expected to be realized within
12 months after the reporting period. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent
assets.

Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce


The Group’s biological assets include breeding stocks, growing hogs, poultry
livestock and goods in process which are grouped according to their physical state,
transformation capacity (breeding, growing or laying), as well as their particular stage
in the production process.

Breeding stocks are carried at accumulated costs net of amortization and any
impairment in value while growing hogs, poultry livestock and goods in process are
carried at accumulated costs. The costs and expenses incurred up to the start of the
productive stage are accumulated and amortized over the estimated productive lives
of the breeding stocks. The Group uses this method of valuation since fair value
cannot be measured reliably.

The Group’s agricultural produce, which consists of grown broilers and marketable
hogs harvested from the Group’s biological assets, are measured at their fair value
less estimated costs to sell at the point of harvest. The fair value of grown broilers is
based on the quoted prices for harvested mature grown broilers in the market at the
time of harvest. For marketable hogs, the fair value is based on the quoted prices in
the market at any given time.

The Group, in general, does not carry any inventory of agricultural produce at any
given time as these are either sold as live broilers and hogs or transferred to the
different poultry or meat processing plants and immediately transformed into
processed or dressed chicken and carcass.

The carrying amounts of the biological assets are reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable.

Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated
productive lives of breeding stocks:

Amortization Period
Hogs - sow 3 years or 6 births,
whichever is shorter
Hogs - boar 2.5 - 3 years
Poultry breeding stock 38 - 42 weeks

- 21 -
Contract Assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration that is conditioned on something other
than the passage of time, in exchange for goods or services that the Group has
transferred to a customer. The contract asset is transferred to receivable when the
right becomes unconditional.

A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is


unconditional, only the passage of time is required before payment of the
consideration is due.

Business Combination
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of
an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred,
measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether
to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs
are expensed as incurred and included as part of “Selling and administrative
expenses” account in the consolidated statements of income.

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.

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 at the
acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the
consolidated statements of income.

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: a) the fair value of the
consideration transferred; plus b) the recognized amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree; plus c) if the business combination is achieved in stages,
the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less d) the net recognized
amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized
immediately in the consolidated statements of income. Subsequently, goodwill is
measured at cost less any accumulated impairment in value. Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment, annually or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of
pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in the
consolidated statements of income. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those
associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities that the Group incurs in
connection with a business combination, are expensed as incurred. Any contingent
consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the
contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement
is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the
contingent consideration are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

▪ Goodwill in a Business Combination


Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date,
allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units
that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of
whether other assets or liabilities are assigned to those units or groups of units.

- 22 -
Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated:

o represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is
monitored for internal management purposes; and

o is not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with


PFRS 8, Operating Segments.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the


cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units, to which the goodwill
relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit or group of
cash-generating units is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is
recognized. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit or group of
cash-generating units 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. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is not
reversed.

▪ Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination


The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is the fair
value as at the date of acquisition, determined using discounted cash flows as a
result of the asset being owned.

Following initial recognition, intangible asset is carried at cost less any


accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The useful life of an
intangible asset is assessed to be either finite or indefinite.

An intangible asset with finite life is amortized over the useful economic life and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset
may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each reporting
date. A change in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption
of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for as a change
in accounting estimate. The amortization expense on intangible asset with finite
life is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Business Combinations under Common Control


The Group accounts for business combinations involving entities that are ultimately
controlled by the same ultimate parent before and after the business combination
and the control is not transitory, using the pooling of interests method.

The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected in the consolidated
statements of financial position at their carrying amounts. No adjustments are made
to reflect fair values, or recognize any new assets or liabilities, at the date of the
combination. The only adjustments are those to align accounting policies between
the combining entities.

No new goodwill is recognized as a result of the business combination. The only


goodwill that is recognized is any existing goodwill relating to either of the combining
entities. Any difference between the consideration paid or transferred and the equity
acquired is recognized in equity.

The consolidated statements of income reflect the results of the combining entities
for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place.

- 23 -
Comparatives are presented as if the entities had been combined for the period that
the entities were under common control.

Non-controlling Interests
The acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with
owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognized as a
result of such transactions. Any difference between the purchase price and the net
assets of the acquired entity is recognized in equity. The adjustments to non-
controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of the identifiable net
assets of the subsidiary.

Investments in Shares of Stock of Associates and Joint Ventures


An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence. Significant
influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of
the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A 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 is similar


to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

The Group’s investments in shares of stock of associates and joint ventures are
accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in shares of stock of an associate or joint
venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is
adjusted to recognize the 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 nor individually tested for impairment.

The Group’s share in profit or loss of an associate or joint venture is recognized as


“Equity in net earnings (losses) of associates and joint ventures” account in the
consolidated statements of income. Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be
necessary for changes in the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate or joint
venture arising from changes in the associate or joint venture’s other comprehensive
income. The Group’s share on these changes is recognized as “Share in other
comprehensive income (loss) of associates and joint ventures - net” account in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 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.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary
to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in the shares of stock of an
associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether
there is objective evidence that the investment in shares of stock of an associate or
joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount
of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount and carrying
amount of the investment in shares of stock of an associate or joint venture and then
recognizes the loss as part of “Equity in net earnings (losses) of associates and joint
ventures” account in the consolidated statements of income.

- 24 -
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint
venture, the Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at fair value.
Any difference between the carrying amount of the investment in an 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 the
consolidated statements of income.

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.

Property, Plant and Equipment


Property, plant and equipment, except for land, are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost
of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment at the time the cost is incurred,
if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing.
Land is stated at cost less impairment in value, if any.

The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its construction cost or
purchase price, including import duties, taxes and any directly attributable costs in
bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Cost also
includes related asset retirement obligation (ARO), if any. Expenditures incurred after
the asset has been put into operation, such as repairs, maintenance and overhaul
costs, are normally recognized as expense in the period the costs are incurred.
Major repairs are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the items will flow to the
Group and the cost of the items can be measured reliably.

Capital projects in progress (CPIP) represents the amount of accumulated


expenditures on unfinished and/or ongoing projects. This includes the costs of
construction and other direct costs. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to
the construction of plant and equipment are capitalized during the construction
period. CPIP is not depreciated until such time that the relevant assets are ready for
use.

Depreciation, which commence when the assets are available for their intended use,
are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives
of the assets:

Number of Years
Land improvements 5 - 50
Buildings and improvements 2 - 50
Power plants 5 - 42
Refinery and plant equipment 4 - 35
Service stations and other equipment 3 - 30
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 2 - 50
Mine properties 55
Leasehold improvements 2 - 50
or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter

Effective January 1, 2020, the Group adopted the units of production method (UOP)
for the depreciation of refinery and plant equipment and certain power plant assets
used in production of fuel, using expected capacity over the estimated useful lives of
these assets.

- 25 -
The remaining useful lives, residual values, and depreciation methods are reviewed
and adjusted periodically, if appropriate, to ensure that such periods and methods of
depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the
items of property, plant and equipment.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment
when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may
not be recoverable.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized when either it has been
disposed of or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising from the
retirement and disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset) is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period of
retirement and disposal.

Stripping Costs
As part of mining operations, the Group incurs stripping 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 constructing the mine
and subsequently amortized over its useful life using UOP. The capitalization of
development stripping costs ceases when the mine 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 cost of such stripping is
accounted for in the same way as development stripping.

Production stripping is generally considered to create two benefits, being either the
production of inventory or improved access to the ore 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 the
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:

(a) future economic benefits (improved access to the ore body) are probable;

(b) the component of the ore body for which access will be improved can be
accurately identified; and

(c) the costs associated with the improved access can be reliably measured.

If all of the criteria are not met, the production stripping costs are recognized in profit
or loss as operating costs when incurred.

- 26 -
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a
lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To
assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time, the Group assesses whether, throughout the period of use:

▪ the Group has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use
of the identified asset; and

▪ the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

Group as Lessee
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease
commencement date (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). The
right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of
the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the
commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to
dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the
site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method


from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the
right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, as follows:

Number of Years
Land 2 - 999
Buildings and improvements 2 - 15
Power plants 29 - 43
Service stations and other equipment 10 - 12
Machinery and equipment 2-7

In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any,


and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments
that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate
as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the
following:

▪ fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives
receivable;

▪ variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured


using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

▪ amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

▪ the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain
to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is
reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early
termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate
early.

- 27 -
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in
future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the
estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or
a change in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably
certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be
exercised.

When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the


carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recognized in profit or loss if the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for
short-term leases (i.e., lease that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the
commencement date and do not contain a purchase option) and leases of low-value
assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group applies the practical expedient allowing it not to assess whether eligible
rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the Corona Virus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic are lease modifications. The practical expedient is applied
consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. For
rent concessions in leases to which the Group chooses not to apply the practical
expedient, or that do not qualify for the practical expedient, the Group assesses
whether there is a lease modification.

Group as Lessor
The Group determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an
operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease
transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the
underlying asset. If this is the case, the lease is classified as a finance lease; if not, it
is classified as an operating lease. As part of the assessment, the Group considers
certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life
of the asset.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the
sublease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference
to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If a head lease is a short-term
lease to which the Group applies the recognition exemption, it classifies the sublease
as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies


PFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as rent
income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

- 28 -
Investment Property
Investment property consists of property held to earn rentals and/or for capital
appreciation but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, used in the
production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment
property, except for land, is measured at cost including transaction costs less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value. The carrying
amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the
time the cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of
day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Land is stated at cost less any
impairment in value.

Depreciation, which commence when the assets are available for their intended use,
are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives
of the assets:

Number of Years
Land and leasehold improvements 5 - 50
or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter
Buildings and improvements 2 - 50
Machinery and equipment 3 - 40
Right-of-use assets 2 - 50

The useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed and
adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Investment property is derecognized either when it has been disposed of or when it


is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from
its disposal. Any gains and losses on the retirement and disposal of investment
property are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period of
retirement and disposal.

Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is an actual
change in use, evidenced by ending of owner-occupation or commencement of an
operating lease to another party. Transfers are made from investment property
when, and only when, there is an actual change in use, evidenced by
commencement of the owner-occupation or commencement of development with a
view to sell.

For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories,


the cost of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the date of
change in use. If the property occupied by the Group as an owner-occupied property
becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in
accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date
of change in use.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.
The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value at
the date of acquisition. Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost less
accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally
generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not
capitalized and expenditures are recognized in the consolidated statements of
income in the year in which the related expenditures are incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.

- 29 -
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful life and assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be
impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method used for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each reporting date.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future
economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the
amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimate. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives
is recognized in the consolidated statements of income consistent with the function
of the intangible asset.

Except for mineral rights and evaluation asset which is amortized using UOP
method, amortization of other intangible assets with finite lives is computed using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Number of Years
Toll road concession rights 28 - 36
Airport concession rights 25 - 50
Power concession right 25
Water concession right 30
Computer software and licenses 2 - 10
Other rights 27

The Group assessed the useful lives of licenses and trademarks and brand names to
be indefinite. Based on an analysis of all the relevant factors, there is no foreseeable
limit to the period over which the assets are expected to generate cash inflows for
the Group.

Licenses and trademarks and brand names with indefinite useful lives are tested for
impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such
intangibles are not amortized. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite
life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to
be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to
finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from the disposal 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 statements of income when the asset is
derecognized.

Service Concession Arrangements


Public-to-private service concession arrangements where: (a) the grantor controls or
regulates what services the entities in the Group can provide with the infrastructure,
to whom it can provide them, and at what price; and (b) the grantor controls (through
ownership, beneficial entitlement or otherwise) any significant residual interest in the
infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement are accounted for under
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements.
Infrastructures used in a public-to-private service concession arrangement for its
entire useful life (whole-of-life assets) are within the scope of the Interpretation if the
conditions in (a) are met.

The Interpretation applies to both: (i) infrastructure that the entities in the Group
construct or acquire from a third party for the purpose of the service arrangement;
and (ii) existing infrastructure to which the grantor gives the entities in the Group
access for the purpose of the service arrangement.

- 30 -
Infrastructures within the scope of the Interpretation are not recognized as property,
plant and equipment of the Group. Under the terms of the contractual arrangements
within the scope of the Interpretation, an entity acts as a service provider. An entity
constructs or upgrades infrastructure (construction or upgrade services) used to
provide a public service and operates and maintains that infrastructure (operation
services) for a specified period of time.

An entity recognizes a financial asset to the extent that it has an unconditional


contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of
the grantor for the construction services. An entity recognizes an intangible asset to
the extent that it receives a right (a license) to charge users of the public service.

When the applicable entity has contractual obligations to fulfill as a condition of its
license: (i) to maintain the infrastructure to a specified level of serviceability; or
(ii) to restore the infrastructure to a specified condition before it is handed over to the
grantor at the end of the service arrangement, it recognizes and measures the
contractual obligations in accordance with PAS 37, i.e., at the best estimate of the
expenditure that would be required to settle the present obligation at the reporting
date.

In accordance with PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, borrowing costs attributable to the
arrangement are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred
unless the applicable entities have a contractual right to receive an intangible asset
(a right to charge users of the public service). In this case, borrowing costs
attributable to the arrangement are capitalized during the construction phase of the
arrangement.

The following are the concession rights covered by the service concession
arrangements entered into by the Group:

▪ Airport Concession Rights


Boracay Airport. The airport concession right pertains to the right granted by the
Republic of the Philippines (ROP) to TADHC: (i) to operate the Caticlan Airport
(the Airport Project or the Boracay Airport); (ii) to design and finance the Airport
Projects; and (iii) to operate and maintain the Airport Projects during the
concession period. This also includes the present value of the annual franchise
fee, as defined in the Concession Agreement, payable to the ROP over the
concession period of 25 years. Except for the portion that relates to the annual
franchise fee, which is recognized immediately as intangible asset, the right is
earned and recognized by the Group as the project progresses (Note 4).

The airport concession right is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and
any impairment in value. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method
over the remaining concession periods and assessed for impairment whenever
there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

The airport concession right is derecognized on disposal or when no future


economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gain or loss from
derecognition of the airport concession rights are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Manila International Airport. The airport concession right pertains to the right
granted by the ROP to SMAI: (i) to operate; (ii) to design and finance; and
(iii) to operate and maintain the Manila International Airport during the
concession period.

- 31 -
The airport concession right represents the design and construction costs
incurred to obtain the right during the construction period. It is carried at cost less
accumulated amortization and any impairment in value. Subsequent
expenditures or replacement of parts of it, are normally recognized in profit or
loss as these are incurred to maintain the expected future economic benefits
embodied in the airport concession right unless it can be demonstrated that the
expenditures will contribute to the increase in revenue from airport and toll
operations which meet the definition of an intangible asset (Note 4).

The airport concession right will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the
period stated in the Concession Agreement which is approximately 50 years from
issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion for the First Phase of the
Project, and will be assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that
the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and method are
reviewed at least at each reporting year-end or more frequently when an
indication of impairment arises during the reporting year. Changes in the term of
the contract or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period and
method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates.

The airport concession right will be derecognized upon turnover to the ROP.
There will be no gain or loss upon derecognition as the concession right which is
expected to be fully amortized by then and will be handed over to the ROP with
no consideration.

▪ Toll Road Concession Rights. The Group’s toll road concession rights represent
the costs of construction and development, including borrowing costs, if any,
during the construction period of the following projects:

o South Luzon Expressway (SLEX);


o Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Expressway;
o Metro Manila Skyway (Skyway);
o Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Toll Expressway (TPLEX);
o Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR);
o North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) - SLEX Link (Skyway Stage 3);
o Pasig River Expressway (PAREX);
o Northern Access Link Expressway (NALEX); and
o Southern Access Link Expressway (SALEX).

In exchange for the fulfillment of the Group’s obligations under the Concession
Agreement, the Group is given the right to operate the toll road facilities over the
concession period. Toll road concession rights are recognized initially at the fair
value of the construction services. Following initial recognition, the toll road
concession rights are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any
impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures or replacement of parts of it are
normally recognized in the consolidated statements of income as these are
incurred to maintain the expected future economic benefits embodied in the toll
road concession rights. Expenditures that will contribute to the increase in
revenue from toll operations are recognized as an intangible asset.

The toll road concession rights are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the Concession Agreement. The toll road concession rights are
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the toll road
concession rights may be impaired.

- 32 -
The toll road concession rights will be derecognized upon turnover to the ROP.
There will be no gain or loss upon derecognition of the toll road concession rights
as these are expected to be fully amortized upon turnover to the ROP.

▪ Water Concession Right. The Group’s water concession right pertains to the right
granted by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) to
LCWDC as the concessionaire of the supply of treated bulk water, planning,
financing, development, design, engineering, and construction of facilities
including the management, operation and maintenance in order to alleviate the
chronic water shortage and provide potable water needs of the Province of
Bulacan. The Concession Agreement is for a period of 30 years and may be
extended for up to 50 years. The Group’s water concession right represents the
upfront fee, cost of design, construction and development of the Bulacan Bulk
Water Supply Project. The service concession right is not yet amortized until the
construction is completed.

The carrying amount of the water concession right is reviewed for impairment
annually, or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the
reporting year.

The water concession right will be derecognized upon turnover to MWSS. There
will be no gain or loss upon derecognition of the water concession right, as this is
expected to be fully amortized upon turnover to MWSS.

▪ Power Concession Right. The Group’s power concession right pertains to the
right granted by the ROP to San Miguel Global Power, through APEC, to operate
and maintain the franchise of Albay Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ALECO). On
January 24, 2014, San Miguel Global Power and APEC entered into an
Assignment Agreement whereby APEC assumed all the rights, interests and
obligations under the Concession Agreement effective January 2, 2014. The
power concession right is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any
accumulated impairment losses.

The power concession right is amortized using the straight-line method over the
concession period which is 25 years and assessed for impairment whenever
there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

The power concession right is derecognized on disposal or when no further


economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gain or loss from
derecognition of the power concession right is measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

▪ Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT 7 Project). The Group’s capitalized project costs
incurred for the MRT 7 Project is recognized as a financial asset as it does not
convey to the Group the right to control the use of the public service
infrastructure but only an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or
another financial asset from or at the direction of the grantor for the construction
services.

The Group can finance, design, test, commission, construct and operate and
maintain the MRT 7 Project on behalf of the ROP in accordance with the terms
specified in the Concession Agreement.

As payment, the ROP shall pay fixed amortization payment on a semi-annual


basis in accordance with the scheduled payment described in the Concession
Agreement (Note 34).

- 33 -
The amortization period and method are reviewed at least at each reporting date.
Changes in the terms of the Concession Agreement or the expected useful life or the
expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset
are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate,
and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense is
recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the expense category
consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

Mineral Rights and Evaluation Assets


The Group’s mineral rights and evaluation assets have finite lives and are carried at
cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when it increases the future economic
benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are
recognized in the consolidated statements of income as incurred.

Amortization of mineral rights and evaluation assets is recognized in the


consolidated statements of income based on UOP method utilizing only recoverable
coal, limestone and shale reserves as the depletion base. In applying the UOP
method, amortization is normally calculated using the quantity of material extracted
from the mine in the period as a percentage of the total quantity of material to be
extracted in current and future periods based on proved and probable reserves.

The Group’s mineral rights and evaluation asset is amortized using UOP method
over 25 years.

Gain or loss from derecognition of mineral rights and evaluation assets is measured
as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset, and is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Deferred Exploration and Development Costs


Deferred exploration and development costs comprise of expenditures which are
directly attributable to:

▪ Researching and analyzing existing exploration data;


▪ Conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling and sampling;
▪ Examining and testing extraction and treatment methods; and
▪ Compiling pre-feasibility and feasibility studies.

Deferred exploration and development costs also include expenditures incurred in


acquiring mineral rights and evaluation assets, entry premiums paid to gain access
to areas of interest and amounts payable to third parties to acquire interests in
existing projects.

Exploration assets are reassessed on a regular basis and tested for impairment
provided that at least one of the following conditions is met:

▪ the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has
expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to
be renewed;

▪ substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral


resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;

▪ such costs are expected to be recouped in full through successful development


and exploration of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or

- 34 -
▪ exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a
stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of
economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in
relation to the area are continuing, or planned for the future.

If the project proceeds to development stage, the amounts included within


deferred exploration and development costs are transferred to property, plant and
equipment.

Deferred Containers
Returnable bottles, shells and pallets are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment, if any. These are presented as “Deferred containers -
net” under “Other noncurrent assets - net” account in the consolidated statements of
financial position and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of two to ten
years. Depreciable amount is equal to cost less estimated residual value, equivalent
to the deposit value. Depreciation of deferred containers is included under “Selling
and administrative expenses” account in the consolidated statements of income.

The remaining useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed
and adjusted periodically, if appropriate, to ensure that such periods and method of
depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from
deferred containers.

The carrying amount of deferred containers is reviewed for impairment when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable.

Refundable containers deposits are collected from customers based on deposit


value and refunded when the containers are returned to the Group in good condition.
These deposits are presented as “Customers’ deposits” under “Accounts payable
and accrued expenses” account in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Impairment of Non-financial Assets


The carrying amounts of investments and advances, property, plant and equipment,
right-of-use assets, investment property, biological assets - net of current portion,
other intangible assets with finite useful lives, deferred containers, deferred
exploration and development costs and idle assets are reviewed for impairment
when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not
be recoverable. Goodwill, licenses and trademarks and brand names with indefinite
useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-
generating unit level. If any such indication exists and if the carrying amount exceeds
the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written
down to their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the asset is the
greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The fair value less costs to
sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction
between knowledgeable, willing parties, less costs of disposal. Value in use is the
present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing
use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
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. For an asset that does
not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is
determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment
losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in those expense
categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

- 35 -
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication
that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have
decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated.
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 and
amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. After such a
reversal, the depreciation and amortization charge is adjusted in future periods to
allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic
basis over its remaining useful life. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is not
reversed.

Cylinder Deposits
The Group purchases liquefied petroleum gas cylinders which are loaned to dealers
upon payment by the latter of an amount equivalent to about 90% of the acquisition
cost of the cylinders.

The Group maintains the balance of cylinder deposits at an amount equivalent to


three days worth of inventory of its biggest dealers, but in no case lower than P200
at any given time, to take care of possible returns by dealers.

At the end of each reporting date, cylinder deposits, shown under “Other noncurrent
liabilities” account in the consolidated statements of financial position, are reduced
for estimated non-returns. The reduction is recognized directly in the consolidated
statements of income.

Contract Liabilities
A deferred income is the Group’s 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 deferred income is recognized
when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Deferred
income is recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

Fair Value Measurements


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: (a) in the principal market
for the asset or liability; or (b) in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or most advantageous
market must be accessible to the Group.

The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market
participants act in their best economic interest.

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.

- 36 -
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the
consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy,
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or


liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data.

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 the categorization 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.

Provisions
Provisions are recognized when: (a) the Group has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of past events; (b) it is probable (i.e., more likely than not)
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation; and (c) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be
made. Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected
to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate
asset only when it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received. The
amount recognized for the reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the
provision. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate.

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 assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time
is recognized as interest expense.

Capital Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital


Common Shares
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the
issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from
equity, net of any tax effects.

Preferred Shares
Preferred shares are classified as equity if they are non-redeemable, or redeemable
only at the option of the Parent Company, and any dividends thereon are
discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as distributions within equity upon
approval by the BOD of the Parent Company.

Preferred shares are classified as a liability if they are redeemable on a specific date
or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary.
Dividends thereon are recognized as interest expense in the consolidated
statements of income as accrued.

- 37 -
Additional Paid-in Capital
When the shares are sold at premium, the difference between the proceeds and the
par value is credited to the “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. In case the shares are issued to extinguish or
settle the liability of the Parent Company, the shares are measured either at the fair
value of the shares issued or fair value of the liability settled, whichever is more
reliably determinable.

Capital Securities
Redeemable Perpetual Securities (RPS) and Senior Perpetual Capital Securities
(SPCS) are classified as equity when there is no contractual obligation to deliver
cash or other financial assets to another person or entity or to exchange financial
assets or financial liabilities with another person or entity that is potentially
unfavorable to the issuer.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of RPS and SPCS are
recognized as a deduction from equity, net of tax.

Retained Earnings
Retained earnings represent the accumulated net income or losses, net of any
dividend distributions and other capital adjustments. Appropriated retained earnings
represent that portion which is restricted and therefore not available for any dividend
declaration.

Treasury Shares
Own equity instruments which are reacquired are carried at cost and deducted from
equity. No gain or loss is recognized on the purchase, sale, reissuance 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 the 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.

Revenue
The Group recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when control of the
goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods
or services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The transfer of control can occur over time or at a point in time. Revenue is
recognized at a point in time unless one of the following criteria is met, in which case
it is recognized over time: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes
the benefits as the Group performs its obligations; (b) the Group’s performance
creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or
enhanced; or (c) the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an
alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for
performance completed to date.

The Group assesses its revenue arrangements to determine if it is acting as principal


or agent. The Group has concluded that it acts as a principal as it controls the goods
or services before transferring to the customer.

- 38 -
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is
recognized:

Revenue from Sale of Food and Beverage, Packaging, Petroleum Products and
Cement and Aggregates
Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to
the customer, which is normally upon delivery of the goods. Trade discounts and
volume rebate do not result to significant variable consideration and are generally
determined based on concluded sales transactions as at the end of each period.
Payment is generally due within 30 to 60 days from delivery.

Revenue from sale of petroleum products is allocated between the consumer loyalty
program and the other component of the sale. The allocation is based on the relative
stand-alone selling price of the points. The amount allocated to the consumer loyalty
program is deducted from revenue at the time points are awarded to the consumer.
A deferred liability included under “Accounts payable and accrued expenses”
account in the consolidated statements of financial position is set up until the Group
has fulfilled its obligations to supply the discounted products under the terms of the
program or when it is no longer probable that the points under the program will be
redeemed. The deferred liability is based on the best estimate of future redemption
profile. All the estimates are reviewed on an annual basis or more frequently, where
there is an indication of a material change.

Revenue from Power Generation and Trading


Revenue from power generation and trading is recognized over time when actual
power or capacity is generated, transmitted and/or made available to the customers,
net of related discounts and adjustments.

Revenues from retail and other power-related services are recognized over time
upon the supply of electricity to the customers. The Uniform Filing Requirements on
the rate unbundling released by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) on
October 30, 2001 specified the following bill components: (a) generation charge,
(b) transmission charge, (c) system loss charge, (d) distribution charge, (e) supply
charge, (f) metering charge, (g) currency exchange rate adjustments, where
applicable, and (h) interclass and life subsidies. Feed-in tariffs allowance, Value-
added Tax (VAT) and universal charges are billed and collected on behalf of the
national and local government and do not form part of the Group’s revenue.
Generation, transmission and system loss charges, which are part of revenues, are
pass-through charges.

Revenue from Sale of Real Estate


Revenue from sale of real estate projects under pre-completion stage is recognized
over time based on percentage of completion since the Group does not have an
alternative use of the specific real estate property sold as the Group is precluded by
the contract from redirecting the use of the property for a different purpose. Further,
the Group has rights to payment for the development completed to date as the
Group can choose to complete the development and enforce its rights to full payment
under the contract even if the customer defaults on amortization payments. The
Group determines the stage of completion based on surveys done by the Group’s
engineers and total costs to be incurred on a per unit basis. Revenue is recognized
when 10% of the total contract price has already been collected.

Revenue from sale of completed real estate projects, and undeveloped land or raw
land is recognized at a point in time. The Group recognizes in full the revenue and
cost from sale of completed real estate projects and undeveloped land when 10% or
more of the contract price is received.

- 39 -
If the transaction does not qualify for revenue recognition, the deposit method is
applied until all conditions for recording the sale are met. Pending the recognition of
revenue, payments received from customers are presented under “Accounts payable
and accrued expenses” account in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Cancellation of real estate sales is accounted for on the year of forfeiture. The
repossessed real estate projects are recognized at fair value less cost to repossess.
Any gain or loss on cancellation is recognized as part of “Other income (charges) -
net” account in the consolidated statements of income.

Revenue from Service Concession Arrangements


Revenue from toll operations is recognized upon the use by the road users of the toll
road and is paid by way of cash or charge against Radio Frequency Identification
account. Toll fees are set and regulated by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB).

Landing, take-off and parking fees are recognized as the services are rendered over
time which is the period from landing up to take-off of aircrafts.

Terminal fees are recognized upon receipt of fees charged to passengers for the use
of airport and port terminals.

Revenue from port cargo handling and ancillary services is recognized as the
services are rendered over time based on the quantity of items handled during the
period multiplied by a predetermined rate.

Revenue from construction contracts is recognized over time based on the


percentage of completion, measured by reference to the proportion of costs incurred
to date to estimated total costs for each contract.

Revenue from Sale of Other Services


Revenue from freight services is recognized as the services are rendered over time
based on every voyage contracted with customers during the period multiplied by a
predetermined rate.

Revenue from Other Sources


Revenue from Agricultural Produce. Revenue from initial recognition of agricultural
produce is measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the point of harvest.
Fair value is based on the relevant market price at the point of harvest.

Interest Income. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. In
calculating interest income, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying
amount of the asset.

Dividend Income. Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive
the payment is established.

Rent Income. Rent income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line


basis over the related lease terms. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an
integral part of the total rent income over the term of the lease.

Gain or Loss on Sale of Investments in Shares of Stock. Gain or loss is recognized


when the Group disposes of its investment in shares of stock of a subsidiary,
associate and joint venture and financial assets at FVPL. Gain or loss is computed
as the difference between the proceeds of the disposed investment and its carrying
amount, including the carrying amount of goodwill, if any.

- 40 -
Costs and Expenses
Costs and expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the reporting period
in the form of outflows or decrease of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in
decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants.
Expenses are recognized when incurred.

Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are
capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period they occur. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences
when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and
borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets
are substantially ready for their intended use.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings


pending expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs
eligible for capitalization.

Research and Development Costs


Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on an
individual project are carried forward when their future recoverability can be
reasonably regarded as assured. Any expenditure carried forward is amortized in line
with the expected future sales from the related project.

The carrying amount of development costs is reviewed for impairment annually when
the related asset is not yet in use. Otherwise, this is reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable.

Employee Benefits
Short-term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a
present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service
provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Retirement Costs
The net defined benefit retirement liability or asset is the aggregate of the present
value of the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their
service in the current and prior periods, 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 economic benefits available in the
form of reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit retirement plan is actuarially
determined using the projected unit credit method. Projected unit credit method
reflects services rendered by employees to the date of valuation and incorporates
assumptions concerning projected salaries of employees. Actuarial gains and losses
are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive
income. Such actuarial gains and losses are also immediately recognized in equity
and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent period.

- 41 -
Defined benefit costs comprise the following:

▪ Service costs;
▪ Net interest on the defined benefit retirement liability or asset; and
▪ Remeasurements of defined benefit retirement liability or asset.

Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or
losses on non-routine settlements are recognized as expense in the consolidated
statements of income. Past service costs are recognized when plan amendment or
curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically by independent
qualified actuary.

Net interest on the net defined benefit retirement liability or asset is the change
during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments, which is
determined by applying the discount rate based on the government bonds to the net
defined benefit retirement liability or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit
retirement liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in the consolidated
statements of income.

Remeasurements of net defined benefit retirement liability or asset comprising


actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets, and any change in the effect of the
asset ceiling (excluding net interest) are recognized immediately in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not
reclassified to consolidated statements of income in subsequent periods.

When the benefits of a plan are changed, or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting
change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is
recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income. The Group
recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit retirement plan
when the settlement occurs.

Foreign Currency
Foreign Currency Translations
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the respective functional
currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are


translated to the functional currency at exchange rate at the reporting date.

Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies


that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the
exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are
translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in the


consolidated statements of income, except for differences arising on the translation
of monetary items that in substance form part of a net investment in a foreign
operation and hedging instruments in a qualifying cash flow hedge or hedge of a net
investment in a foreign operation, which are recognized in other comprehensive
income.

Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value
adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Philippine peso at exchange
rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are
translated to Philippine peso at average exchange rates for the period.

- 42 -
Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and
presented in the “Translation reserve” account in the consolidated statements of
changes in equity. However, if the operation is not a wholly-owned subsidiary, the
relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-
controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control,
significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation
reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to the profit or loss as part of
the gain or loss on disposal.

When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a
foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative
amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only
part of its investment in shares of stock of an associate or joint venture that includes
a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant
proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign


operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign
exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to
form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognized in other
comprehensive income and presented in the “Translation reserve” account in the
consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Taxes
Current Tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable
income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Current tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and
not in profit or loss. The Group periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax
returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to
interpretations and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax. Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method in respect of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

▪ where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of
an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or
loss; and

▪ with respect to taxable temporary differences associated with investments in


shares of stock of subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where
the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

- 43 -
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences,
carryforward benefits of unused tax credits - Minimum Corporate Income Tax (MCIT)
and unused tax losses - Net Operating Loss Carry Over (NOLCO), to the extent that
it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carryforward benefits of MCIT and NOLCO can be
utilized, except:

▪ where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not
a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

▪ with respect to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in


shares of stock of subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures,
deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the
temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will
be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

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 profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset 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 profit will allow the deferred tax
asset to be recovered.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow
the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover
or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date.

Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in the consolidated statements of
income, except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items
recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

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
taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

VAT. Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of VAT,
except:

▪ where the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable


from the taxation authority, in which case the tax is recognized as part of the cost
of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

▪ receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of tax included.

The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included as part of “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Income and
other taxes payable” accounts in the consolidated statements of financial position.

- 44 -
Non-cash Distribution to Equity Holders of the Parent Company and Assets Held for
Sale
The Group classifies noncurrent assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and
liabilities as held for sale or distribution, if their carrying amounts will be recovered
primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use. The assets
or disposal groups are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
fair value less costs to sell or distribute, except for some assets which are covered
by other standards. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to
goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except
that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets,
employee benefit assets, investment property or biological assets, which continue to
be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Impairment losses
on initial classification as held for sale or distribution and subsequent gains and
losses on remeasurement are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment losses.

The criteria for held for sale or distribution is regarded as met only when the sale or
distribution is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for
immediate sale or distribution in its present condition. Actions required to complete
the sale or distribution should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the
sale or distribution will be made or that the decision on distribution or sale will be
withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale or distribution within one
year from date of classification.

The Group recognizes a liability to make non-cash distributions to equity holders of


the Parent Company when the distribution is authorized and no longer at the
discretion of the Parent Company. Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair
value of the assets to be distributed with fair value remeasurements recognized
directly in equity. Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the
carrying amount of the liability and the carrying amount of the assets to be distributed
is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investment property once
classified as held for sale or distribution are not amortized or depreciated. In addition,
equity accounting of equity-accounted investees ceases once classified as held for
sale or distribution.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale or distribution are presented
separately as current items in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and
are presented as a single amount as “Income after income tax from discontinued
operations” in the consolidated statements of income.

Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly,
to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in
making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if
they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate
entities.

- 45 -
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income for the period attributable to
equity holders of the Parent Company, net of dividends on preferred shares and
distributions to holders of RPS and SPCS, by the weighted average number of
issued and outstanding common shares during the period, with retroactive
adjustment for any stock dividends declared.

Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner, adjusted for the effect of all potential
dilutive debt or equity instruments.

Operating Segments
The Group’s operating segments 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.
Financial information on operating segments is presented in Note 6 to the
consolidated financial statements. The Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating
decision maker) reviews management reports on a regular basis.

The measurement policies the Group used for segment reporting under PFRS 8 are
the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements. There have been
no changes in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit
or loss from prior periods.

Segment revenues, expenses and performance include sales and purchases


between business segments. Such sales and purchases are eliminated in
consolidation.

Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
They are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements unless the
possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but
are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when an inflow of
economic benefits is probable.

Events After the Reporting Date


Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s financial
position at the reporting date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated
financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are
disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when material.

4. Use of Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with PFRS


requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of accounting policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses reported in the consolidated financial statements at the reporting date.
However, uncertainty about these judgments, estimates and assumptions could
result in an outcome that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount
of the affected asset or liability in the future.

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. Revisions are recognized in the
period in which the judgments and estimates are revised and in any future period
affected.

- 46 -
Judgments
In the process of applying the accounting policies, the Group has made the following
judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have an effect on the
amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Measurement of Biological Assets. Breeding stocks are carried at accumulated costs


net of amortization and any impairment in value while growing hogs, poultry livestock
and goods in process are carried at accumulated costs. The costs and expenses
incurred up to the start of the productive stage are accumulated and amortized over
the estimated productive lives of the breeding stocks. The Group uses this method of
valuation since fair value cannot be measured reliably. The Group’s biological assets
or any similar assets prior to point of harvest have no active market available in the
Philippine poultry and hog industries. Further, the existing sector benchmarks are
determined to be irrelevant and the estimates (i.e., revenues due to highly volatile
prices, input costs and efficiency values) necessary to compute for the present value
of expected net cash flows comprise a wide range of data which will not result in a
reliable basis for determining the fair value.

Determining whether a Contract Contains a Lease. The Group uses its judgment in
determining whether a contract contains a lease. At inception of a contract, the
Group makes an assessment whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the
economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use
of the identified asset.

Operating Lease Commitments - Group as Lessor. The Group has entered into
various lease agreements as a lessor. The Group had determined that it retains all
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the property leased out on operating
leases.

Rent income recognized in the consolidated statements of income amounted to


P1,766, P1,496 and P1,382 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Notes 32 and 34).

Determining the Lease Term of Contracts with Renewal Options - Group as Lessee.
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.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension options. At lease
commencement date, the Group applies judgment in evaluating whether it is
reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew the lease by considering all
relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal
option. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the
options if there is a significant event or change in circumstances within its control.

Identification of Distinct Performance Obligation. The Group assesses the goods or


services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies as a performance
obligation either: (a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is
distinct; or (b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same
and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. The Group has
determined that it has distinct performance obligations other than the sale of
petroleum products such as the provision of technical support and lease of
equipment to its customers and allocates the transaction price into these several
performance obligations.

Applicability of Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12. In accounting for the Group’s


transactions in connection with its Concession Agreement with the ROP, significant
judgment was applied to determine the most appropriate accounting policy to use.

- 47 -
Management used Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12 as guide and determined that
the Concession Agreement is within the scope of the interpretation since it
specifically indicated that the ROP will regulate what services the Group must
provide, at what prices these services will be offered, and that at the end of the
concession period, the entire infrastructure, as defined in the Concession
Agreement, will be turned over to the ROP (Note 34).

Management determined that the consideration receivable from the ROP, in


exchange for the fulfillment of the Group’s obligations under the Concession
Agreement, may either be an intangible asset in the form of a right (license) to
charge fees to users or financial asset in the form of an unconditional right to receive
cash or another financial asset. Judgment was further exercised by management in
determining the cost components of acquiring the right. Further reference to the
terms of the Concession Agreement (Note 34) was made to determine such costs.

a. Airport Concession Rights

Boracay Airport. The airport concession right consists of: (i) Airport Project cost;
(ii) present value of infrastructure retirement obligation (IRO); and (iii) present
value of total franchise fees over 25 years and its subsequent amortization.

(i) The Airport Project cost is recognized as part of intangible assets as the
construction progresses. The cost-to-cost method was used as management
believes that the actual cost of construction is most relevant in determining
the amount that should be recognized as cost of the intangible asset at each
reporting date as opposed to cost plus and other methods of percentage-of-
completion.

(ii) The present value of the IRO is recorded under construction in progress
(CIP) - airport concession arrangements and transferred to the related
intangible assets upon completion of the Airport Project and to be amortized
simultaneously with the cost related to the Airport Project because only at
that time will significant maintenance of the Boracay Airport would
commence.

(iii) The present value of the obligation to pay annual franchise fees over
25 years has been immediately recognized as part of intangible assets
because the right related to it has already been granted and is already being
enjoyed by the Group as evidenced by its taking over the operations of the
Boracay Airport during the last quarter of 2010. Consequently, management
has started amortizing the related value of the intangible asset and the
corresponding obligation has likewise been recognized.

Manila International Airport. The airport concession right consists of the pre-
design costs, consultancy fees and other directly attributable costs incurred in
the development of the project.

b. Toll Road Concession Rights. The Group’s toll road concession rights represent
the costs of construction and development, including borrowing costs, if any,
during the construction period of the following projects: (i) SLEX; (ii) NAIA
Expressway; (iii) Skyway; (iv) TPLEX; (v) STAR; (vi) Skyway Stage 3;
(vi) PAREX; (vii) NALEX; and (viii) SALEX.

Pursuant to the Concession Agreements, any stage or phase or ancillary


facilities thereof, of a fixed and permanent nature, shall be owned by the ROP.

- 48 -
c. Water Concession Right. The Group’s water concession right represents the
right to collect charges from water service providers and third party purchasers
availing of a public service, grant control or regulate the price and transfer
significant residual interest of the water treatment facilities at the end of the
Concession Agreement.

d. Power Concession Right. The Group’s power concession right represents the
right to operate and maintain the franchise of ALECO; i.e., the right to collect
electricity fees from the consumers of ALECO. At the end of the concession
period, all assets and improvements shall be returned to ALECO and any
additions and improvements to the system shall be transferred to ALECO.

e. MRT 7 Project. The Concession Agreement related to the MRT 7 Project does
not convey to the Group the right to control the use of the public service
infrastructure but only an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or
another financial asset from or at the direction of the grantor for the construction
services. Management determined that the consideration receivable from the
ROP, in exchange for the fulfillment of the obligation under the Concession
Agreement, is a financial asset in the form of an unconditional right to receive
cash or another financial asset.

Difference in judgment in respect to the accounting treatment of the transactions


would materially affect the assets, liabilities and operating results of the Group.

Recognition of Profit Margin on the Airport and Toll Road Concession Arrangements.
The Group has not recognized any profit margin on the construction of the airport
and toll road projects as it believes that the fair value of the intangible asset
reasonably approximates the cost. The Group also believes that the profit margin of
its contractors on the rehabilitation of the existing airport and its subsequent upgrade
is enough to cover any difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of
the intangible asset.

Recognition of Revenue from Sale of Real Estate and Raw Land. The Group
recognizes its revenue from sale of real estate projects and raw land in full when
10% or more of the total contract price is received and when development of the real
estate property is 100% completed. Management believes that the revenue
recognition criterion on percentage of collection is appropriate based on the Group’s
collection history from customers and number of back-out sales in prior years.
Buyer’s interest in the property is considered to have vested when the payment of at
least 10% of the contract price has been received from the buyer and the Group
ascertained the buyer’s commitment to complete the payment of the total contract
price.

Distinction Between Investment Property and Owner-occupied Property. The Group


determines whether a property qualifies as investment property or owner-occupied
property. In making its judgment, the Group considers whether the property
generates cash flows largely independent of the other assets held by the Group.
Owner-occupied properties generate cash flows that are attributable not only to the
property but also to the other assets used in marketing or administrative functions.
Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital
appreciation and another portion that is held for use in marketing or for administrative
purposes. If the portions can be sold separately (or leased out separately under
finance lease), the Group accounts for the portions separately. If the portions cannot
be sold separately, the property is accounted for as investment property only if an
insignificant portion is held for use in the supply of services or for administrative
purposes. Judgment is applied in determining whether ancillary services are so
significant that a property does not qualify as investment property. The Group
considers each property separately in making its judgment.

- 49 -
Classification of Redeemable Preferred Shares. Based on the features of the
preferred shares of TADHC, particularly on mandatory redemption, management
determined that the shares are, in substance, financial liabilities. Accordingly, these
were classified as part of ‘’Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account in the
consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively (Note 20).

Evaluating Control over its Investees. Determining whether the Group has control in
an investee requires significant judgment. The Group receives substantially all of the
returns related to BPI’s operations and net assets and has the current ability to direct
BPI’s activities that most significantly affect the returns. The Group controls BPI
since it is exposed, and has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with BPI
and has the ability to affect those returns through such power over BPI.

Classification of Joint Arrangements. The Group has determined that it has rights
only to the net assets of the joint arrangements based on the structure, legal form,
contractual terms and other facts and circumstances of the arrangement. As such,
the Group classified its joint arrangements in Angat Hydropower Corporation
(Angat Hydro) and KWPP Holdings Corporation (KWPP) as at December 31, 2022
and 2021 and Manila North Harbour Port, Inc. (MNHPI) as at December 31, 2021 as
joint ventures (Note 11).

In 2022, SMHC and International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), co-
shareholders in MNHPI, have assessed that ICTSI has the control in MNHPI by
virtue of its exposure and rights to variable returns from its involvement in this
investee and its ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Accordingly, the Group changed its accounting treatment in MNHPI to Investment in
Associate (Note 11).

Adequacy of Tax Liabilities. The Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax
positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes
that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its
assessment of many factors, including interpretation of tax laws and prior
experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve
a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available
that causes the Group to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax
liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that
such a determination is made.

Classification of Financial Instruments. The Group exercises judgments in classifying


financial instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset,
a financial liability, or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability or
an equity instrument. The substance of a financial instrument, rather than its legal
form, governs its classification in the consolidated statements of financial position.

The Group uses its judgment in determining the classification of financial assets
based on its business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow
characteristics. The classification and fair values of financial assets and financial
liabilities are presented in Note 40.

- 50 -
Contingencies. The Group is currently involved in various pending claims and
lawsuits which could be decided in favor of or against the Group. The Group’s
estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these pending claims and lawsuits
has been developed in consultation with in-house as well as outside legal counsel
handling the prosecution and defense of these matters and is based on an analysis
of potential results. The Group currently does not believe that these pending claims
and lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its financial position and financial
performance. It is possible, however, that future financial performance could be
materially affected by the changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of
strategies relating to these proceedings (Note 43).

Estimates and Assumptions


The key estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements
are based upon the Group’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as at the
date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from such
estimates.

Assessment of ECL on Trade Receivables. The Group, in applying the simplified


approach in the computation of ECL, initially uses a provision matrix based on
historical default rates for trade receivables for at least two years. The Group also
uses appropriate groupings if its historical credit loss experience shows significantly
different loss patterns for different customers. The Group then adjusts the historical
credit loss experience with forward-looking information on the basis of current
observable data affecting each customer to reflect the effects of current and
forecasted economic conditions.

The Group has assessed that the forward-looking default rate component of its ECL
on trade receivables is not material because substantial amount of trade receivables
are normally collected within one year. Moreover, based on management’s
assessment, current conditions and forward-looking information does not indicate a
significant increase in credit risk exposure of the Group from its trade receivables.

Trade receivables written off amounted to P193 and P186 in 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The allowance for impairment losses on trade receivables amounted to
P3,949 and P4,094 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The carrying
amount of trade receivables amounted to P169,294 and P97,013 as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 8).

Assessment of ECL on Other Financial Assets at Amortized Cost. The Group


determines the allowance for ECL using general approach based on the probability-
weighted estimate of the present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of
financial assets at amortized cost. ECL is provided for credit losses that result from
possible default events within the next 12 months unless there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition in which case ECL is provided based
on lifetime ECL.

When determining if there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Group
considers reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue
cost or effort and that is relevant for the particular financial instrument being
assessed such as, but not limited to, the following factors:

▪ actual or expected external and internal credit rating downgrade;

▪ existing or forecasted adverse changes in business, financial or economic


conditions; and

- 51 -
▪ actual or expected significant adverse changes in the operating results of the
borrower.

The Group also considers financial assets at day one to be the latest point at which
lifetime ECL should be recognized unless it can demonstrate that this does not
represent a significant risk in credit risk such as when non-payment was an
administrative oversight rather than resulting from financial difficulty of the borrower.

The Group has assessed that the ECL on other financial assets at amortized cost is
not material because the transactions with respect to these financial assets were
entered into by the Group only with reputable banks and companies with good credit
standing and relatively low risk of defaults. Accordingly, no additional provision for
ECL on other financial assets at amortized cost was recognized in 2022 and 2021.

The carrying amounts of other financial assets at amortized cost are as follows:

Note 2022 2021


Other Financial Assets at
Amortized Cost
Cash and cash equivalents
(excluding cash on hand) 7, 39 P315,823 P298,783
Other current receivables - net
(included under “Trade and
other receivables - net” account) 8 69,488 64,795
Financial assets at amortized

assets” and “Investments in
equity and debt instruments”
accounts) 10, 12, 39, 40 12,134 577

Restricted cash (included under
“Prepaid expenses and other
current assets” and “Other
noncurrent assets - net”
accounts) 10, 18, 39, 40 19,050 12,965

The allowance for impairment losses on other current receivables, included as part of
“Trade and other receivables - net” account and noncurrent receivables and deposits
included as part of “Other noncurrent assets - net” account in the consolidated
statements of financial position, amounted to P8,964 and P582, respectively, as at
December 31, 2022, and P9,174 and P572, respectively, as at December 31, 2021
(Notes 8 and 18).

Fair Value Measurements. A number of the Group’s accounting policies and


disclosures require the measurement of fair values for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities.

- 52 -
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of
fair values. This includes a valuation team that has the overall responsibility for
overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values. The
valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation
adjustments. If third party information is used to measure fair values, then the
valuation team assesses the evidence obtained to support the conclusion that such
valuations meet the requirements of PFRS, including the level in the fair value
hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

The Group uses market observable data when measuring the fair value of an asset
or liability. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy
based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques (Note 3).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability can be
categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value
measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value
hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire
measurement.

The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end
of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities are discussed in Notes 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17,
18, 20, 35 and 40.

Write-down of Inventory. The Group writes-down the cost of inventory to net


realizable value whenever net realizable value becomes lower than cost due to
damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other
causes.

Estimates of net realizable value are based on the most reliable evidence available
at the time the estimates are made of the amount the inventories are expected to be
realized. These estimates take into consideration fluctuations of price or cost directly
relating to events occurring after the reporting date to the extent that such events
confirm conditions existing at the reporting date.

The write-down of inventories amounted to P1,542 and P1,505 as at December 31,


2022 and 2020, respectively (Note 9).

The carrying amounts of inventories amounted to P190,193 and P141,209 as at


December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 9).

Estimated Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment, Right-of-Use Assets,


Investment Property and Deferred Containers. The Group estimates the useful lives
of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property and
deferred containers based on the period over which the assets are expected to be
available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment,
right-of-use assets, investment property and deferred containers are reviewed
periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to
physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other
limits on the use of the assets.

- 53 -
In addition, estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment,
right-of-use assets, investment property and deferred containers is based on
collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and
experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future financial
performance could be materially affected by changes in estimates brought about by
changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses
for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A
reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use
assets, investment property and deferred containers would increase the recorded
cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses and decrease noncurrent
assets.

Except for refinery and plant equipment and certain power plant assets used in
production of fuel, there is no change in estimated useful lives of property, plant and
equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property and deferred containers based
on management’s review at the reporting date.

Starting January 1, 2020, the Group adopted the UOP method of accounting for
depreciation of refinery and plant equipment and certain power plant assets used in
production of fuel. The UOP method closely reflects the expected pattern of
consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in these assets. Depreciation
of said assets is computed using the expected consumption over the estimated
useful lives of these assets. Previously, depreciation was computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, amounted to


P723,030 and P582,092 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Accumulated depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to P267,528
and P243,297 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 13).

Right-of-use assets, net of accumulated depreciation, amounted to P112,155 and


P163,446 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accumulated
depreciation of right-of-use assets amounted to P20,268 and P20,308 as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 14).

Investment property, net of accumulated depreciation, amounted to P74,668 and


P69,833 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accumulated depreciation
of investment property amounted to P21,267 and P19,470 as at December 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively (Note 15).

Deferred containers, net of accumulated depreciation, included as part of “Other


noncurrent assets - net” account in the consolidated statements of financial position
amounted to P18,549 and P19,800 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Accumulated depreciation of deferred containers amounted to P16,691 and P14,714
as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 18).

Estimated Useful Lives of Intangible Assets. The useful lives of intangible assets are
assessed at the individual asset level as having either a finite or indefinite life.
Intangible assets are regarded to have an indefinite useful life when, based on
analysis of all of the relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over
which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the Group.

- 54 -
Intangible assets with finite useful lives, net of accumulated amortization, included as
part of “Other intangible assets - net” account in the consolidated statements of
financial position amounted to P247,015 and P188,873 as at December 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets with finite
useful lives amounted to P56,782 and P49,717, as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively (Note 17).

Estimated Useful Lives of Intangible Assets - Concession Rights. The Group


estimates the useful lives of airport, toll road, port, power and water concession
rights based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for
use. The Group has not included any renewal period on the basis of uncertainty of
the probability of securing renewal contract at the end of the original contract term as
at the reporting date.

The amortization period and method are reviewed when there are changes in the
expected term of the contract or the expected pattern of consumption of future
economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The combined carrying amounts of toll road, airport, power and water concession
rights amounted to P229,057 and P178,833 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively (Note 17).

In 2022, APEC has derecognized its power concession right as a result of the
termination of the concession agreement with ALECO in November 2022 (Note 34).

Impairment of Goodwill, Licenses and Trademarks and Brand Names with Indefinite
Useful Lives. The Group determines whether goodwill, licenses and trademarks and
brand names are impaired at least annually. This requires the estimation of value in
use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated and the value in
use of the licenses and trademarks and brand names. Estimating value in use
requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from
the cash-generating unit and from the licenses and trademarks and brand names
and to choose a suitable discount rate to calculate the present value of those cash
flows.

The carrying amount of goodwill amounted to P184,100 and P130,081 as at


December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 17).

The combined carrying amounts of licenses and trademarks and brand names
amounted to P2,345 and P2,286 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively
(Note 17).

Acquisition Accounting. At the time of acquisition, the Group considers whether the
acquisition represents an acquisition of a business or a group of assets. The Group
accounts for an acquisition as a business combination if it acquires an integrated set
of business processes in addition to the group of assets acquired.

The Group accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of
accounting which requires that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are
recognized at the date of acquisition based on their respective fair values.

- 55 -
The application of the acquisition method requires certain estimates and
assumptions concerning the determination of the fair values of acquired intangible
assets and property, plant and equipment, as well as liabilities assumed at the
acquisition date. Moreover, the useful lives of the acquired intangible assets and
property, plant and equipment have to be determined. Accordingly, for significant
acquisitions, the Group obtains assistance from valuation specialists. The valuations
are based on information available at the acquisition date.

The Group, however, is currently completing the purchase price allocation exercise
on the acquisition of ECC in 2022. The identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value
are based on provisionary amounts as at the acquisition date, which is allowed under
PFRS 3, within 12 months from the acquisition date (Note 5).

The carrying amount of goodwill arising from business combinations amounted to


P54,273 in 2022 (Notes 5, 17 and 38).

Estimating Coal Reserves. Coal reserve estimates are based on measurements and
geological interpretation obtained from natural outcrops, trenches, tunnels and drill
holes. In contrast with “coal resource” estimates, profitability of mining the coal
during a defined operating period or “mine-life” is a necessary attribute of “coal
reserve”.

The Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) is the government agency authorized to


implement coal operating contracts (COC) and regulate the operation of contractors
pursuant to DOE Circular No. 81-11-10: Guidelines for Coal Operations in the
Philippines. For the purpose of the five-year development and production program
required for each COC, the agency classifies coal reserves, according to increasing
degree of uncertainty, into: (i) positive, (ii) probable and (iii) inferred. The DOE also
prescribes the use of “total in-situ reserves” as the sum of positive reserves and
two-thirds of probable reserve; and “mineable reserve” as 60% of total in-situ reserve
for underground, and 85% for surface (including open-pit) coal mines.

Recoverability of Deferred Exploration and Development Costs. A valuation


allowance is provided for estimated unrecoverable deferred exploration and
development costs based on the Group’s assessment of the future prospects of
the mining properties, which are primarily dependent on the presence of
economically recoverable reserves in those properties.

The Group has mining activities that were in the exploratory stages as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021. The related costs and expenses from exploration
were deferred as mine exploration and development costs to be amortized upon
commencement of commercial operations. The Group has not identified any facts
and circumstances which suggest that the carrying amount of the deferred
exploration and development costs exceeded the recoverable amounts as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021.

No impairment loss on deferred exploration and evaluation costs was recognized in


2022, 2021 and 2020.

Deferred exploration and development costs included as part of “Other noncurrent


assets - net” account in the consolidated statement of financial position amounted to
P55 and P719 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Notes 18 and 34).

In December 2022, deferred exploration and development costs related to coal


mining activities amounting to P719 were derecognized upon the sale by SPI of its
subsidiaries (Notes 5).

- 56 -
Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets. The Group reviews its deferred tax assets at
each reporting date and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred tax assets to be utilized. The Group’s assessment on the recognition of
deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of
MCIT and NOLCO is based on the projected taxable income in the following periods.

Deferred tax assets amounted to P22,554 and P17,141 as at December 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively (Note 23).

Impairment of Non-financial Assets. PFRS requires that an impairment review be


performed on investments and advances, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use
assets, investment property, biological assets - net of current portion, other intangible
assets with finite useful lives, deferred containers, deferred exploration and
development costs and idle assets when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Determining the
recoverable amounts of these assets requires the estimation of cash flows expected
to be generated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such assets.
While it is believed that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values
reflected in the consolidated financial statements are appropriate and reasonable,
significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of
recoverable amounts and any resulting impairment loss could have a material
adverse impact on the financial performance.

Accumulated impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, right-of-use


assets and investment property, other intangible assets with finite useful lives and
deferred containers amounted to P16,065 and P15,490 as at December 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively (Notes 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18).

The combined carrying amounts of investments and advances, property, plant and
equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property, biological assets - net of current
portion, other intangible assets with finite useful lives, deferred containers, deferred
exploration and development costs and idle assets amounted to P1,197,145 and
P1,068,884 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Notes 11, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17 and 18).

Estimating the Incremental Borrowing Rate. The Group cannot readily determine the
interest rate implicit in the leases. Therefore, it uses its relevant incremental
borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate
of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a
similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-
of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The incremental borrowing rate,
therefore, reflects what the Group would have to pay, which requires estimation
when no observable rates are available and to make adjustments to reflect the terms
and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the incremental borrowing rate
using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is
required to consider certain contract and entity-specific estimates.

The Group’s lease liabilities amounted to P75,475 and P94,992 as at December 31,
2022 and 2021 respectively (Notes 34, 38, 39 and 40).

Present Value of Defined Benefit Retirement Obligation. The present value of the
defined benefit retirement obligation depends on a number of factors that are
determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. These
assumptions are described in Note 35 to the consolidated financial statements and
include discount rate and salary increase rate.

- 57 -
The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each reporting
period. It is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of
estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the retirement
obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the
interest rates on government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which
the benefits will be paid. The terms to maturity of these bonds should approximate
the terms of the related retirement obligation.

Other key assumptions for the defined benefit retirement obligation are based in part
on current market conditions.

While it is believed that the assumptions of the Group are reasonable and
appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in
assumptions may materially affect the defined benefit retirement obligation of the
Group.

The present value of defined benefit retirement obligation amounted to P31,873 and
P30,539 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 35).

Asset Retirement Obligation. The Group has ARO arising from refinery, power
plants, leased service stations, terminals, blending plant and leased properties.
Determining ARO requires estimation of the costs of dismantling, installing and
restoring leased properties to their original condition. The Group determined the
amount of the ARO by obtaining estimates of dismantling costs from the proponent
responsible for the operation of the asset, discounted at the Group’s current credit-
adjusted risk-free rate ranging from 3.25% to 12.64% and 1.85% to 12.64% as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, depending on the life of the capitalized
costs. While it is believed that the assumptions used in the estimation of such costs
are reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the
recorded expense or obligation in future periods.

The ARO amounted to P4,296 and P3,668 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively (Notes 20 and 22).

Present Value of Annual Franchise Fee and IRO - Airport Concession Arrangement.
Portion of the amount recognized as airport concession right of TADHC as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021 pertains to the present value of the annual franchise
fee payable to the ROP over the concession period. The recognition of the present
value of the IRO is temporarily lodged in CIP - airport concession arrangements until
the completion of the Airport Project.

The present values of the annual franchise fee and IRO were determined based on
the future value of the obligations discounted at the Group’s internal borrowing rate
which is believed to be a reasonable approximation of the applicable
credit-adjusted risk-free market borrowing rate.

A significant change in such internal borrowing rate used in discounting the


estimated cost would result in a significant change in the amount of liabilities
recognized with a corresponding effect in profit or loss.

The present value of the annual franchise fees payable to the ROP over 25 years
discounted using the 8% internal borrowing rate in 2022 and 2021, included as part
of “Airport concession right” under “Other intangible assets - net” account amounted
to P50 and P57 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 17).

- 58 -
The cost of infrastructure maintenance and restoration represents the present value
of TADHC’s IRO recognized and is presented as part of IRO under “Accounts
payable and accrued expenses” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” accounts
amounting to P20 and P74 in 2022 and P16 and P74 in 2021, respectively (Notes 20
and 22).

Present Value of Mine Rehabilitation Obligation (MRO) and Decommissioning. The


Group has MRO arising from NCC’s mining operations. Determining MRO requires
estimation of the costs of dismantling and removing structures, rehabilitating mines
and tailings dams, dismantling operating facilities, closing plant and waste sites, and
restoring, reclaiming and revegetating affected areas. The estimated rehabilitation
costs are then discounted using a discount rate that reflects current market
assessments and the risks specific to the liability. Discount rates used by the Group
ranged from 4.60% to 7.04% as at December 31, 2022 and 7.04% as at
December 31, 2021. The ultimate cost of MRO and decommissioning is uncertain,
and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors including estimates of the
extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, changes in the relevant legal
requirements, emergence of new restoration techniques or experience, cost
increases as compared to the inflation rates, and changes in discount rates. The
expected timing of expenditure can also change in response to changes in quarry
reserves or production rates. These uncertainties may result in future actual
expenditure different from the amounts currently provided. As a result, there could be
significant adjustments in provision for MRO and decommissioning, which would
affect future financial results.

Provision for MRO and decommissioning presented as part of “Other noncurrent


liabilities” account amounted to P100 and P47 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively (Note 22).

Percentage-of-Completion - Airport and Toll Road Concession Arrangements. The


Group determines the percentage-of-completion of the contract by computing the
proportion of actual contract costs incurred to date, to the latest estimated total
airport and toll road project cost. The Group reviews and revises, when necessary,
the estimate of airport and toll road project cost as it progresses, to appropriately
adjust the amount of construction cost and revenue recognized at the end of each
reporting period. Construction revenue and construction costs, reported as part of
“Other income (charges) - net” account in the consolidated statements of income,
amounted to P60,461, P29,769 and P22,747 as at December 31, 2022, 2021 and
2020, respectively (Note 32).

Accrual for Repairs and Maintenance - Toll Road Concession Arrangements. The
Group recognizes accruals for repairs and maintenance based on estimates of
periodic costs, generally estimated to be every 5 to 10 years and 5 to 12 years as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, or the expected period to restore the toll
road facilities to a level of serviceability and to maintain its good condition before the
turnover to the ROP. This is based on the best estimate of management to be the
amount expected to be incurred to settle the obligation, discounted using a pre-tax
rate, ranging from 5.21% to 6.99% and 1.66% to 4.88% as at December 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively, that reflects the current market assessment of the time value
of money.

The accrual for repairs and maintenance, included as part of “IRO” under “Other
noncurrent liabilities” account in the consolidated statements of financial position,
amounted to P825 and P698 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively
(Note 22).

- 59 -
The current portion included as part of “Accounts payable and accrued expenses”
account amounted to P467 and P419 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively (Note 20).

Fuel and Oil

▪ Acquisition of Mema

On February 16, 2022, the Parent Company through Petron acquired 10,000,000
common shares representing 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Mema for
an initial consideration of P104. Mema is a company with a subsidiary that
provides hauling and logistics services to Petron. On June 30, 2022, control over
the investee was transferred to the Group after the resolution of issues were
agreed by Petron and the seller. On December 29, 2022, an adjustment in the
purchase price of P300 was agreed by Petron and the seller, presented as part
of non-trade payables under “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account
in the 2022 consolidated statement of financial position (Note 20). The amount
was fully paid in February 2023.

The acquisition of Mema was accounted for using the acquisition method of
accounting in accordance with PFRS 3.

The following summarizes the recognized amounts of assets acquired and


liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Note 2022
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents P3,406
Trade and other receivables 2,034
Prepaid expense and other current assets 69
Property, plant and equipment - net 13 219
Other noncurrent asset 15
Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (5,303)
Other noncurrent liabilities (14)
Total Identifiable Net Assets at Fair Value P426

The Group recognized a gain on acquisition amounting to P22, presented as part


of “Other income (charges) - net” account in the 2022 consolidated statement of
income, representing the excess of total identifiable net assets at fair value of
P426 over the total consideration of P404 (Note 32).

The fair value of trade and other receivables amounted to P2,034. None of the
receivables has been impaired and it is expected that the full amount will be
collected. As at December 31, 2022, receivables amounting to P2,000 was
already collected.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses amounting to P5,165 was already paid
as at December 31, 2022 from existing cash and the receivables collected.

The fair value of the acquired equipment was measured using depreciated
replacement cost by considering the current replacement cost of new assets and
adjusted for obsolescence, including physical, functional and economic
obsolescence.

- 62 -
Mema and its subsidiaries contributed nil and P26 to the Group’s revenue and
net income from the acquisition date to December 31, 2022, respectively. Had
the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, the Group’s revenue and net
income in 2022 would have been P1,506,591 and P26,756, respectively. In
determining these amounts, management assumed that the fair value
adjustments that arose on the acquisition date would have been the same if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022.

On October 27, 2022, Petron and Mema executed a Subscription Agreement to


subscribe to an additional 1,375,000,000 common shares of Mema for a
subscription price of P1,375 or P1.00 per common share, of which P899 was
paid in 2022.

Energy

▪ Acquisition of Multi-Ventures Investment Holdings, Inc. (MVHI) and Bluelight

outstanding capital stock of MVHI and Bluelight, respectively, for a total
consideration of P16 (Note 13).

MVHI and Bluelight own and manage various properties located in the province
of Cavite and Quezon, respectively.

The transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition since the assets and
activities does not constitute a business as defined in PFRS 3.

▪ Sale of Strategic Energy Development Inc. (SEDI)

of “Gain (loss) on sale of investments and property and equipment’’ account in
the 2022 consolidated statement of income.

Packaging

▪ Acquisition of 35% of CAI

On September 30, 2022, SMYPC and Can Pack S.A. (Can Pack), shareholders
of CAI, executed a Deed of Sale of Shares for the acquisition by SMYPC from
Can Pack of the 3,500,000 common shares representing 35% of the outstanding
capital stock of CAI for a total consideration of US$9 (P531).

The acquisition of the 35% of CAI is considered as a transaction with the Group’s
non-controlling interest.

As a result, CAI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMYPC. The Group’s


non-controlling interests decreased by P451 equivalent to the carrying amount of
the share in the net assets acquired. The difference between the carrying
amount of the share in the net assets acquired and the consideration transferred
was recognized in other equity reserve.

ECC and its subsidiaries are engaged in manufacturing, marketing, sale, and
distribution of cement. ECC owns a cement production facility in San Ildefonso,
Bulacan and a grinding and packaging facility in Limay, Bataan.

- 66 -
On October 27, 2022, the Philippine Competition Commission issued a notice
which states that the transaction is not subject to the notification requirement
under the Philippine Competition Act and its implementing rules and regulations.
Consequently, on November 7, 2022, SMEII proceeded to conduct a mandatory
tender offer to acquire a total of 574,877,004 common shares of ECC,
representing approximately 11.46% of the outstanding capital stock of ECC held
by the minority shareholders, as required by the Securities Regulations Code,
which tender offer was likewise considered as the tender offer required for the
voluntary delisting of ECC under the relevant rules of the PSE after the required
written assent of the stockholders of ECC was secured.

The tender offer period ended on December 5, 2022, with a total of 572,780,677
ECC shares representing approximately 11.46% of the total outstanding common
shares of ECC were tendered (Tendered Shares) for a total consideration of
P12,613 or P22.02 share (Tender Offer Price). The Tendered Shares were
crossed through the PSE on December 14, 2022, upon approval of the PSE of a
special block sale of the Tendered Shares. Thereafter, ECC petitioned for a
voluntary delisting and was approved by the PSE effective February 28, 2023.

As at December 31, 2022, SMEII beneficially owns 4,997,903,678 common


shares representing 99.96% of the total outstanding common shares of ECC.

The acquisition of ECC was accounted for using the acquisition method of
accounting in accordance with PFRS 3.

The following summarizes the recognized amount of assets acquired and


liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Note 2022
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents P9,548
Trade and other receivables - net 118
Inventories 2,299
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 10, 24 8,613
Investment and advances 24 105
Property, plant and equipment - net 13 33,502
Right-of-use assets - net 14 26
Other intangible assets - net 17 8,305
Deferred tax assets 23 102
Other noncurrent assets - net 966
Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (3,323)
Income and other taxes payable (200)
Lease liabilities (including current portion) (36)
Long-term debt - net (4,040)
Deferred tax liabilities (13)
Other noncurrent liabilities 22, 35 (168)
Total Identifiable Net Assets at Fair Value P55,804

The fair value of trade and other receivables amounted to P118. None of the
receivables has been impaired and it is expected that the full amount can be
collected (Note 8).

- 67 -
Provisional goodwill was recognized as a result of the acquisition as follows:

Note 2022
Total consideration transferred (cash) 11 P110,054
Non-controlling interest measured at proportionate
interest in identifiable net assets 23
Total identifiable net assets at fair value (55,804)
Provisional goodwill 17, 38 P54,273

SMEII incurred acquisition-related costs of P80 for the year ended December 31,
2022, which were included in the “Selling and administrative expenses” account
in the consolidated statements of income.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of ECC is attributable to the benefit of


expected synergies with the Group’s cement business, revenue growth, future
development and the assembled workforce. These benefits are not recognized
separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for
identifiable net assets.

SMEII is currently completing the purchase price allocation exercise on the


acquisition. The identifiable assets and liabilities are based on provisionary
amounts as at the acquisition date, which is allowed under PFRS 3 within
12 months from the acquisition date.

If the foregoing acquisitions have occurred on January 1, 2022, management


estimates that it would have increased consolidated revenue and consolidated
net income by P20,378 and P4,470, respectively. In determining these amounts,
management assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally,
that arose on the acquisition date would have been the same if the acquisition
had occurred on January 1, 2022. The amount of revenue and profit or loss of
ECC since the acquisition date included in the 2022 consolidated statements of
comprehensive income amounted to nil.

If the Group used the moving-average method (instead of the first-in, first-out

petroleum products would have increased by P1,487 and P994 as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The cost of materials and supplies amounted to P76,659 and P53,673 as at

and inventory obsolescence at the beginning and end of 2022 and 2021 follow:

Note 2022 2021


Balance at beginning of year P1,505 P1,624
Provisions - net 26, 27 277 227
Write-off and others (240) (346)
Balance at end of year P1,542 P1,505

Provisions for inventory losses amounted to P330 and P277 in 2022 and 2021,
respectively. Reversals of provision for inventory losses pertain to inventories sold
amounting to P53 and P50 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Provisions for inventory
losses, net of reversals, are included as part of “Cost of sales” and “Selling and
administrative expenses” accounts in the consolidated statements of income
(Notes 26 and 27).

The fair value of agricultural produce less costs to sell, which formed part of the cost
of finished goods inventory, amounted to P127 and P112 as at December 31, 2022
and 2021, respectively, with corresponding costs at point of harvest amounting to
P110 and P86, respectively. Net unrealized gain on fair valuation of agricultural
produce amounted to P17, P26 and P70 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively
(Note 16).

The fair values of marketable hogs and grown broilers, which comprised the Group’s
agricultural produce, are categorized as Level 1 and Level 3, respectively, in the fair
value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques.

The valuation model used is based on the following: (a) quoted prices for harvested
mature grown broilers at the time of harvest; and (b) quoted prices in the market at
any given time for marketable hogs; provided that there has been no significant
change in economic circumstances between the date of the transactions and the
reporting date. Costs to sell are estimated based on the most recent transaction and
is deducted from the fair value in order to measure the fair value of agricultural
produce at point of harvest. The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if
weight and quality premiums increase (decrease) (Note 4).

The net realizable value of raw land inventory and real estate projects is higher than
the carrying amount as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, based on management’s
assessment.

The fair value of raw land inventory amounted to P24,952 and P11,613 as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair value has been categorized as
Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation
techniques (Note 4).

In estimating the fair value of the raw land inventory, management takes into account
the market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the assets in
their highest and best use. Based on management assessment, the best use of the
Group’s raw land inventory are their current use.

The Level 3 fair value of raw land inventory was derived using the observable recent
transaction prices for similar raw land inventory in nearby locations adjusted for
differences in key attributes such as property size, zoning and accessibility. The
most significant input into this valuation approach is the price per square meter,
hence, the higher the price per square meter, the higher the fair value (Note 4).

recoverable value of the trademarks, formulations, recipes and other intangible
properties relating to La Pacita biscuit and flour-based snack business. It was
determined that the carrying amount of the asset was higher than the
recoverable amount. Impairment loss was recognized amounting to P386 to
reduce the carrying amount of trademark to recoverable amount
(Notes 17 and 32).

together with its product formulations and process specifications. Accordingly,
the related trademark amounting to P60 and property and equipment amounting
to P112 were presented as held for sale (Notes 13 and 17).

Total depreciation recognized in the consolidated statements of income amounted to
P2,082, P2,025 and P2,056 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 28).

In 2022 and 2021, property, plant and equipment were reclassified to investment
property due to change in usage as evidenced by ending of owner-occupation or
commencement of operating lease to another party (Note 13).

No impairment loss was recognized in 2022, 2021 and 2020.

There are no other direct selling and administrative expenses other than depreciation
and real property taxes arising from investment property that generated income in
2022, 2021 and 2020.

The fair value of investment property amounting to P122,861 and P94,390 as at


December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, has been categorized as Level 3 in the
fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques (Note 4).

The fair value of investment property was determined by external, independent


property appraisers having appropriate recognized professional qualifications and
recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. The
independent appraisers provide the fair value of the Group’s investment property on
a regular basis.

Valuation Technique and Significant Unobservable Inputs


The valuation of investment property applied the following approaches:

Cost Approach. This approach is based on the principle of substitution, which holds
that an informed buyer would not pay more for a given property than the cost of an
equally desirable alternative. The methodology of this approach is a set of
procedures that estimate the current reproduction cost of the improvements, deducts
accrued depreciation from all sources, and adds the value of investment property.

Sales Comparison Approach. The market value was determined using the Sales
Comparison Approach. The comparative approach considers the sale of similar or
substitute property, registered within the vicinity, and the related market data. The
estimated value is established by process involving comparison. The property being
valued is then compared with sales of similar property that have been transacted in
the market. Listings and offerings may also be considered. The observable inputs to
determine the market value of the property are the following: location characteristics,
size, time element, quality and prospective use, bargaining allowance and
marketability.

Income Approach. The rental value of the subject property was determined using the
Income Approach. Under the Income Approach, the market value of the property is
determined first, and then proper capitalization rate is applied to arrive at its rental
value. The rental value of the property is determined on the basis of what a prudent
lessor or a prospective lessee are willing to pay for its use and occupancy
considering the prevailing rental rates of similar property and/or rate of return a
prudent lessor generally expects on the return on its investment. A study of current
market conditions indicates that the return on capital for similar real estate
investment range from 3.00% to 6.45%.

The Group has capitalized borrowing costs amounting to P63 and P1,407 in 2022
and 2021, respectively. The capitalization rates used to determine the amount of
interest eligible for capitalization ranged from 5.06% to 5.87% and 5.87% to 10% in
2022 and 2021, respectively. The unamortized capitalized borrowing costs amounted
to P8,964 and P9,211 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The recoverable amount of goodwill has been determined based on fair value less
costs to sell or a valuation using cash flow projections (value in use) covering a five-
year period based on long range plans approved by management. The values
assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future
trends in the relevant industries and were based on historical data from both external
and internal sources. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using
a constant growth rate determined per individual cash-generating unit to arrive at its
terminal value. The growth rates used which range from less than 1% to 15.22% and
2% to 10.50% in 2022 and 2021, respectively, are based on strategies developed for
each business and include the Group’s expectations of market developments and
past historical performance. The discount rates applied to after tax cash flow
projections ranged from 6% to 11% in 2022 and 2021. The discount rate also
imputes the risk of the cash-generating units compared to the respective risk of the
overall market and equity risk premium. The recoverable amount of goodwill has
been categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in
the valuation technique (Note 4).

Impairment loss recognized in 2022 amounted to P789 (Note 32). No impairment


loss was recognized for goodwill in 2021 and 2020.

The recoverable amount of licenses, trademarks and brand names has been
determined based on a valuation using cash flow projections (value in use) covering
a five-year period based on long range plans approved by management. The values
assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future
trends in the relevant industries and were based on historical data from both external
and internal sources. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using
a determined constant growth rate to arrive at its terminal value. The growth rates
used which range from 2% to 5% in 2022 and 2021, are based on strategies
developed for each business and include the Group’s expectations of market
developments and past historical performance. The discount rates applied to after
tax cash flow projections ranged from 6.5% to 12% and 5.9% to 12% in 2022 and
2021, respectively. The recoverable amount of trademarks and brand names has
been categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in
the valuation technique (Note 4).

Management’s calculations are updated to reflect the most recent developments as


at reporting date. Management’s expectations reflect performance to date and are
based on its experience in times of recession and consistent with the assumptions
that a market participant would make. Management also considered the expected
improvement of the economy in 2021, the lifting of liquor bans, consumer spending
and expected increase in revenues through its promotional strategies.

Impairment loss recognized in 2021 for La Pacita trademark amounted to P386 with
a recoverable amount of P60 (Note 32). As at December 31, 2022, the recoverable
amount was presented as held for sale following the approval of the sale of La Pacita
trademark on February 2, 2023 (Note 10).

No impairment loss was recognized for licenses in 2022, 2021 and 2020 and for
trademarks and brand names in 2022 and 2020.

- 97 -
Other than the items on which impairment losses were already recognized,
management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions
on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause its carrying amount to
exceed its recoverable amount.

▪ Gross Margins. Gross margins are based on average values achieved in the
period immediately before the budget period. These are increases over the
budget period for anticipated efficiency improvements. Values assigned to key
assumptions reflect past experience, except for efficiency improvement.

▪ Discount Rates. The Group uses the weighted-average cost of capital as the
discount rate, which reflects management’s estimate of the risk specific to each
unit. This is the benchmark used by management to assess operating
performance and to evaluate future investment proposals.

▪ Raw Material Price Inflation. Consumer price forecast is obtained from indices
during the budget period from which raw materials are purchased. Values
assigned to key assumptions are consistent with external sources of information.

As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, certain other intangible assets amounting to
P100,641 and P101,769, respectively, were pledged as security for syndicated
project finance loans (Note 21).

a. The construction revenue recognized in profit or loss approximates the
construction costs recognized. When it is probable that the total contract costs
will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an
expense immediately.

Construction costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the


construction activity of toll road, airport, port, water and power concession rights
as at reporting date.

b. Miscellaneous gain consists of settlement received by the Group from third party
contractors on account of damages arising from the latter’s non-fulfillment of
obligations under procurement-related contracts in 2020 (P3,826), income
recognized by the Group from the Tax Credit Certificates (TCC) issued by the

NCC in 2022 and 2020 amounting to P22 and P763, respectively.

c. Australian Packaging Operations. The Group’s packaging operations in Australia


particularly the wine filling and bottling operations is being challenged by the
ongoing restrictions imposed by China on importations from Australia, including
wines. In 2021, China imposed a punitive tariff on Australian wines which
severely impacted the Australian wine industry. The ongoing trade restriction and
the lingering effect of COVID-19 led to the decline in demand for products of
SMYA compared to forecasted revenues. In 2022, management performed
impairment testing of SMYA’s goodwill. It was determined that the carrying
amount of the cash generating unit is higher than the recoverable value.
Accordingly, an impairment loss of P789 was recognized by SMYA.

Advances for Investments. As discussed in Note 12, SMPI made advances to


future investees that will be applied against future stock subscriptions. In 2022,
management assessed that the carrying amount of advances for investments
may not be recoverable in full. Accordingly, an additional impairment loss
amounting to P241 was recognized in 2022.

La Pacita Biscuit Operations. As discussed in Notes 10 and 17, Magnolia ceased


the operation of La Pacita biscuit on October 17, 2021. Impairment loss was
recognized amounting to P386 in 2021 to reduce the carrying amount of
trademark to recoverable amount.

d. “Others” consist of rent income, commission income, changes in fair value of

34. Significant Agreements and Lease Commitments

Significant Agreements

▪ Energy

o IPPA Agreements

As a result of the biddings conducted by PSALM for the Appointment of the


IPP Administrator for the capacity of the following power plants, the Group
was declared the winning bidder and act as IPP Administrator through the
following appointed subsidiaries:

Subsidiary Power Plant Location


SPI Sual Coal - Fired Power Station Sual, Pangasinan
(Sual Power Plant) Province
SRHI San Roque Hydroelectric Multi- San Roque,
purpose Power Plant (San Roque Pangasinan
Power Plant) Province

SPPC also became the IPPA for the Ilijan Power Plant, a natural gas-fired
combined cycle power plant located in Ilijan, Batangas, in June 2010 until the
Ilijan Power Plant was turned over to SPPC in June 2022.

The IPPA Agreements are with the conformity of National Power Corporation
(NPC), a government-owned and controlled corporation created by virtue of
RA No. 6395, as amended, whereby NPC confirms, acknowledges, approves
and agrees to the terms of the IPPA Agreements and further confirms that for
so long as it remains the counterparty of the IPP, it will comply with its
obligations and exercise its rights and remedies under the original agreement
with the IPP at the request and instruction of PSALM.

The IPPA Agreements include, among others, the following common salient
rights and obligations:

i. the right and obligation to manage and control the capacity of the power
plant for its own account and at its own cost and risks;

ii. the right to trade, sell or otherwise deal with the capacity (whether
pursuant to the spot market, bilateral contracts with third parties or
otherwise) and contract for or offer related ancillary services, in all cases
for its own account and at its own cost and risks. Such rights shall carry
the rights to receive revenues arising from such activities without
obligation to account therefore to PSALM or any third party;

iii. the right to receive a transfer of the power plant upon termination of the
IPPA Agreement at the end of the cooperation period or in case of buy-
out;

- 150 -
iv. for SPI and SPPC, the right to receive an assignment of NPC’s interest in
existing short-term bilateral power supply contracts;

v. the obligation to supply and deliver, at its own cost, fuel required by the
IPP and necessary for the Sual Power Plant to generate the electricity
required to be produced by the IPP;

vi. maintain the performance bond in full force and effect with a qualified
bank; and

vii. the obligation to pay PSALM the monthly payments and energy fees in
respect of all electricity generated from the capacity, net of outages.

Relative to the IPPA Agreements, SPI and SRHI have to pay PSALM
monthly payments for 15 years until October 1, 2024 and 18 years until
April 26, 2028, respectively, while SPPC had to pay for 12 years until
June 26, 2022. Energy fees amounted to P10,452, P17,762 and P20,365 in
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 26). SPI and SRHI renewed their
performance bonds amounting to US$58 and US$20, which will expire on
November 3, 2023 and January 25, 2024, respectively.

On June 16, 2015, SPPC renewed its performance bond amounting to


US$60 with a validity period of one year. This performance bond was
subsequently drawn by PSALM on September 4, 2015 which is subject to an
ongoing case (Note 43).

The lease liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the US dollar and
Philippine peso discount rates as follows:

US Dollar Philippine Peso


SPI 3.89% 8.16%
SPPC 3.85% 8.05%
SRHI 3.30% 7.90%

The discount determined at the inception of the agreement is amortized over


the period of the IPPA Agreements and recognized as part of “Interest
expense and other financing charges” account in the consolidated
statements of income. Interest expense amounted to P3,462, P4,706 and
P6,045 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 30).

On April 4, 2022, SPPC entered into a long-term lease agreement with


PSALM for parcels of land with an aggregate area of 242,445.50 square
meters. The leased premises shall be used for the operation, management,
expansion and maintenance of the Ilijan Power Plant. The lease agreement
shall expire after 25 years, commencing on the expiration of the IPPA
Agreement between SPPC and PSALM in June 2022, and is subject to
renewal upon mutual agreement of both parties.

Subsequently, upon the request of SPPC, PSALM issued an Additional


Leased Premises Certification for the parcels of land with an aggregate area
of 24,116 square meters where the Ilijan switchyard is located.

In 2022, SPPC paid in advance the total lease charges amounting to P1,823
covering the entire leased premises and duration of the lease term. This is
presented under “Right-of-use assets” account in the consolidated statement
of financial position as at December 31, 2022 (Note 14).

- 151 -
In June 2022, the IPPA Agreement between SPPC and PSALM has ended.
Accordingly, the Ilijan Power Plant was reclassified from "Right-of-use
assets" to “Property, plant and equipment” account pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the IPPA Agreement (Notes 13 and 14).

The power plants under the remaining IPPA lease arrangements with
PSALM, presented under “Right-of-use assets - net” account in the
consolidated statements of financial position, amounted to P99,116 and
P151,828 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 14).

o Land Lease Agreement with PSALM

MPPCL has an existing lease agreement with PSALM for the lease of the
199,600 square meters land located in Barangay Bani, Masinloc, Zambales.
The lease agreement will expire on April 11, 2028.

The lease liability is amortized using the discount rate over the period of the
agreement. Amortization is recognized as part of “Interest expense and other
financing charges” account in the consolidated statements of income which
amounted to P3 in 2022, 2021 and 2020 (Note 30).

MPPCL’s land under lease arrangement, presented under “Right-of-use


assets - net” account in the consolidated statements of financial position
amounted to P89 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, (Notes 4 and 14).

o Market Participation Agreements (MPA)

SPI, SRHI, SPPC, LPI, SMELC, MPI, MPPCL, SPESC and UPSI each
entered into separate MPAs with the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation
(PEMC) to satisfy the conditions contained in the Philippine WESM Rules on
WESM membership and to set forth the rights and obligations of a WESM
member.

The relevant parties in each of the MPAs acknowledged that PEMC was
entering into the agreement in its capacity as both governing arm and
autonomous group market operator of the WESM, and that in due time the
market operator functions shall be transferred to an independent market
operator (IMO) pursuant to RA No. 9136, otherwise known as the “Electric
Power Industry Reform Act of 2001” (EPIRA). The parties further agreed that
upon such transfer, all rights, obligations and authority of PEMC under the
MPA shall also pertain to the IMO and that all references to PEMC shall also
refer to such IMO.

Upon the initiative of the DOE and PEMC, IEMOP was incorporated and
assumed the functions and obligations as the market operator of the WESM
commencing on September 26, 2018. Consequently, SPI, SRHI, SPPC, LPI,
SMELC, MPI and MPPCL each entered into separate Supplemental MPAs
with PEMC and IEMOP for the transfer of rights of the market operator to
IEMOP.

Under the WESM Rules, the cost of administering and operating the WESM
shall be recovered through a charge imposed on all WESM members or
transactions, as approved by the ERC. Market fees charged by IEMOP to
SPI, SRHI, SPPC, LPI and MPPCL amounted to P201, P126 and P185 in
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 26).

- 152 -
SMELC, LPI and MPPCL each has a standby letter of credit, to secure the
full and prompt performance of obligations for its transactions as a Direct
Member and trading participant in the WESM which expired in 2021.
Subsequently, LPI and MPPCL has extended its validity until October 25,
2023 and February 16, 2024, respectively.

o PSAs and RSCs

SPI, SPPC, SRHI, MPI, LPI, SMELC, SEDI and MPPCL have offtake
contracts such as PSAs and RSCs with various counterparties to sell
electricity produced by the power plants. Counterparties for PSAs include
DUs, electric cooperatives, third party Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES) and
other entities.

Counterparties for RSCs are contestable customers, or large industrial users


which have been certified contestable by the ERC.

Majority of the consolidated sales of the Group are through long-term offtake
contracts, which may have provisions for take-or-pay, passing on fuel costs,
foreign exchange differentials or certain other fixed costs and minimum
offtake level. Most of the agreements provide for renewals or extensions
subject to mutually agreed terms and conditions by the parties and applicable
rules and regulations. Tariff structures vary depending on the customer and
their needs, with some having structures based on energy-based pricing or
capacity-based pricing.

For capacity-based contracts, the customers are charged with the capacity
fees based on the contracted capacity plus the energy fees for the
associated energy taken during the month. As stipulated in the contracts,
energy-based contracts on the other hand are based on the actual energy
consumption of customers using the basic energy charge and/or
adjustments.

SPI, SPPC, SRHI, MPI, LPI and MPPCL can also purchase power from
WESM or other power generation companies during periods when power
generated from the power plants is not sufficient to meet the customers’
power requirements. Power purchases amounted to P57,089, P20,557 and
P10,337 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 26).

On March 2, 2021, EERI and MPPCL have executed long-term PSAs with
Meralco for the supply and delivery of 1,200 MW and 600 MW contract
capacity starting in November 2024 and April 2025, respectively. These
PSAs have been filed and are pending approval by the ERC as at
December 31, 2022.

o Ancillary Service Procurement Agreement (ASPA)

On September 8, 2017, MPPCL entered into an ASPA with the National Grid
Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) for a period of five years commencing
on May 26, 2018 to allocate the entire capacity of its 10 MW Masinloc BESS
as frequency regulating reserve for the NGCP to maintain power quality,

On September 27, 2022, APEC received from ALECO its notification to


terminate the Concession Agreement. APEC refuted the claims made by
ALECO in a letter dated November 4, 2022.

On November 18, 2022, APEC served its Notice of Termination to ALECO


based on ALECO’s default of its obligations under the Concession
Agreement.

Effective November 21, 2022, the Concession Agreement was terminated.


Notwithstanding the pending dispute, APEC agreed to turn-over the
operations of the distribution business to ALECO and agreed to provide
assistance and cooperation to ALECO during the transition period beginning
on November 21, 2022 and ending on December 21, 2022, without prejudice

o COC

DAMI’s coal property covered by COC No. 126, issued by the DOE, is
located in South Cotabato consisting of two coal blocks with a total area of
2,000 hectares, more or less, and has an In-situ coal resources (measured
plus indicated coal resources) of about 68 million metric tons as at
December 31, 2022.

SEPC has a coal mining property and right over an aggregate area of 7,000
hectares, more or less, composed of seven coal blocks located in South
Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat. As at December 31, 2022, COC No. 134 has
an In-situ coal resources (measured plus indicated coal resources) of about
35 million metric tons.

BERI’s COC No. 138, issued by the DOE, is located in Sarangani and South
Cotabato consisting of eight coal blocks with a total area of 8,000 hectares,
more or less, and has an In-situ coal resources (measured plus indicated
coal resources) of about 23 million metric tons as at December 31, 2022.

Status of Operations
The DOE approved the conversion of the COC for Exploration to COC for
Development and Production of DAMI, SEPC and BERI effective on the
following dates:

Subsidiary COC No. Effective Date Term*


DAMI 126 November 19, 2008 20 years
SEPC 134 February 23, 2009 10 years
BERI 138 May 26, 2009 10 years
*The term is followed by another ten-year extension, and thereafter, renewable for a series of three-
year periods not exceeding 12 years under such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon with
the DOE.

- 155 -
On April 27, 2012 and January 26, 2015, the DOE granted the requests of
DAMI, SEPC and BERI, for a moratorium on suspension of the
implementation of the production timetable as specified under their
respective COC. The request is in connection with a resolution passed by
South Cotabato in 2010 prohibiting open-pit mining activities in the area. The
moratorium was retrospectively effective from the dates of their respective
COC, when these were converted to Development and Production Phase,
and remained valid as approved by the DOE or until the ban on open-pit
mining pursuant to the Environment Code of South Cotabato has been lifted,
whichever comes first.

On December 11, 2019, the DOE approved the ten-year extension and the
initial five-year WPB for COC No. 134 of SEPC.

On January 10, 2020, DAMI and BERI met with the Energy Resources
Development Bureau representatives to discuss the proposed consolidated
five-year WPB and the documentary requirements to effect consolidation of
the two COCs.

On December 6, 2021, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of South Cotabato


endorsed the implementation of the respective COCs of DAMI, BERI and
SEPC, thereby removing the biggest impediment for implementation of the
three COCs and the implementation of the five-year WPB of SEPC that was
approved by the DOE on December 11, 2019. On May 20, 2022, the DOE
granted the requests for approval of the transfer/assignment of COC No. 138
in favor of DAMI, consolidation of COC No. 126 and 138 into one contract
and its corresponding proposed 5-year consolidated Work Program and
Budget. The consolidation of COC Nos. 126 and 138 took effect upon the
execution of the Amendment to Coal Operating Contract No. 126 and
approval thereof by the DOE on July 22, 2022.

In December 2022, SPI sold its investments in DAMI, BERI and SEPC and
consequently derecognized the deferred exploration and development costs
of these entities effective December 21, 2022 (Notes 4, 5 and 18).

ULC BVI on August 19, 2014. The Performance Undertaking is a recognition
of the obligations of the ROP through the DOTr under the Concession
Agreement, particularly the remittance of semi-annual amortization payment
in favor of ULC BVI. The issuance of the Performance Undertaking triggers
the obligation of ULC BVI to achieve financial closure within 18 months from
the date of the receipt of the Performance Undertaking. Within the
aforementioned period, ULC BVI achieved Financial Closure, as defined in
the MRT 7 Agreement. There were no changes in the terms of the

the latter’s prior approval in relation to the intention of ULC BVI to assign all
its rights and obligations under the Concession Agreement to SMC MRT 7,
the designated special purpose company for the MRT 7 Project. The
assignment of the rights and obligations from ULC BVI to SMC MRT 7 will be
achieved through execution of Accession Agreement. Based on the
Concession Agreement, ULC BVI may assign its rights, title, interests or
obligations therein, provided that the following conditions are met:

under the Concession Agreement; and

▪ ULC BVI secures from ROP, through the DOTr, its prior approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

- 163 -
In addition, the letter dated September 30, 2016 from ULC BVI also
requested that upon submission by SMC MRT 7 of the lenders’ recognition
that the Financing Agreements for the MRT 7 Project is for its benefit, the
DOTr shall cause the amendment of the Performance Undertaking dated
July 23, 2014 by changing the addressee and beneficiary thereof from ULC

implementation of the initial toll rate starting April 1, 2011.

In 2012, SMC SLEX received a letter from the Department of Finance


informing SMC SLEX of the conveyance by PNCC to the ROP of its
shares of stock in SMC SLEX, by way of deed of assignment. Moreover,
SMC SLEX also received the Declarations of Trust signed by the
individual nominees of PNCC, in favor of the ROP, in which each
nominee affirmed their holding of single, qualifying share in SMC SLEX in
favor of the ROP.

On July 21, 2015, SMC SLEX entered into a MOA with Ayala Corporation
(AC), on the inter-operability of the SLEX and Muntinlupa-Cavite
Expressway (MCX) (formerly known as the Daang Hari-SLEX Connector
Road). AC is the concession holder of MCX while MCX Tollway, Inc. is
the facility operator of MCX.

The MOA on inter-operability provides the framework that will govern the
interface and integration of the technical operations and toll operation
systems between the MCX and the SLEX, to ensure seamless travel
access into MCX and SLEX for road users. MCX opened and operated
as a toll expressway on July 24, 2015.

Investments in Shares of Stock

a. BOC

San Miguel Corporation Retirement Plan (SMCRP) has 432,626,860 common


shares, representing 38.54% equity interest in BOC, accounted for under the
equity method of accounting amounting to P10,064 as at December 31, 2021.
SMCRP recognized its share in total comprehensive income of BOC amounting
to P468 in 2021.

As discussed in Note 11, SMCRP sold to SMCEC its 1,571,600 common shares
of BOC, equivalent to 1.4% equity interest, amounting to P356 in October 2021.
The Articles of Incorporation of BOC was amended for the change in the par
value of its common and preferred shares from P100.00 per share to P10.00 per
share. As a result, SMCRP’s investment in BOC’s common shares increased
from 43,262,686 to 432,626,860 common shares.

In March 2022, BOC listed its common shares through Initial Public Offering for
P12.00 per share with the PSE. Accordingly, SMCRP remeasured its investment
in shares of stock of BOC using the available quoted price and the investment
was reclassified as investment in marketable securities. The change in the
valuation estimate from equity method to available quoted price resulted to the
recognition by SMCRP of unrealized loss on marketable securities amounting to
P6,651 in 2022.

b. BPI

The Group’s plan assets also include San Miguel Brewery Inc. Retirement Plan’s
investment in 8,608,494 preferred shares of stock of BPI (inclusive of nominee
shares), accounted for under the cost method since cost approximates fair value,
amounting to P859 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Investments in Pooled Funds


Investments in pooled funds were established mainly to put together a portion of the
funds of the Retirement Plans of the Group to be able to draw, negotiate and obtain
the best terms and financial deals for the investments resulting from big volume
transactions.

The Board of Trustees approved the percentage of asset to be allocated to fixed


income instruments and equities. The Retirement Plans have set maximum exposure
limits for each type of permissible investments in marketable securities and deposit
instruments. The Board of Trustees may, from time to time, in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion and taking into account existing investment opportunities,
review and revise such allocation and limits.

Approximately 84% and 65% of the Retirement Plans’ investments in pooled funds in
stock trading portfolio include investments in shares of stock of the Parent Company
and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Approximately 61% and 67% of the Retirement Plans’ investments in pooled funds in
fixed income portfolio include investments in shares of stock of the Parent Company
and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Investments in Real Estate


The Retirement Plans of the Group have investments in real estate properties. The
fair value of investment property amounted to P989 and P634 as at December 31,
2022 and 2021, respectively.

- 179 -
Others
Others include the Retirement Plans’ investments in trust account, government
securities, bonds and notes, cash and cash equivalents and receivables which earn
interest. Investment in trust account represents funds entrusted to a financial
institution for the purpose of maximizing the yield on investible funds.

The Board of Trustees reviews the level of funding required for the retirement fund.
Such a review includes the asset-liability matching (ALM) strategy and investment
risk management policy. The Group’s ALM objective is to match maturities of the
plan assets to the defined benefit retirement obligation as they fall due. The Group
monitors how the duration and expected yield of the investments are matching the
expected cash outflows arising from the retirement benefit obligation. The Group is
expected to contribute P2,646 to the Retirement Plans in 2023.

The Retirement Plans expose the Group to actuarial risks such as investment risk,
interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk as follows:

Investment and Interest Rate Risks. The present value of the defined benefit
retirement obligation is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to
market yields to government bonds. Generally, a decrease in the interest rate of a
reference government bond will increase the defined benefit retirement obligation.
However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the Retirement
Plans’ investments and if the return on plan asset falls below this rate, it will create a
deficit in the Retirement Plans. Due to the long-term nature of the defined benefit
retirement obligation, a level of continuing equity investments is an appropriate
element of the long-term strategy of the Group to manage the Retirement Plans
efficiently.

Longevity and Salary Risks. The present value of the defined benefit retirement
obligation is calculated by reference to the best estimates of: (1) the mortality of the
plan participants, and (2) the future salaries of the plan participants. Consequently,
increases in the life expectancy and salary of the plan participants will result in an
increase in the defined benefit retirement obligation.

The overall expected rate of return is determined based on historical performance of


the investments.

The principal actuarial assumptions used to determine retirement benefits are as


follows:

In Percentages
2022 2021
Discount rate 4.60 - 7.62 0.40 - 6.75
Salary increase rate 2.00 - 8.00 2.00 - 8.00

Assumptions for mortality and disability rates are based on published statistics and
mortality and disability tables.

The weighted average duration of defined benefit retirement obligation ranges from
3.6 to 19 years and 3.9 to 24.9 years as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.

- 180 -
As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the reasonably possible changes to one of the
relevant actuarial assumptions, while holding all other assumptions constant, would
have affected the defined benefit retirement obligation by the amounts below,
respectively:

Defined Benefit
Retirement Obligation
2022 2021
1 Percent 1 Percent 1 Percent 1 Percent
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
Discount rate (P1,646) P1,859 (P1,648) P1,954
Salary increase rate 1,920 (1,698) 2,148 (1,880)

The outstanding balances of the Group’s receivable from the retirement plans are as
follows:

a. The Parent Company has advances to and receivables from SMCRP amounting
to P6,713 and P7,666 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, included
as part of “Amounts owed by related parties” under “Trade and other
receivables - net” account in the consolidated statements of financial position
(Notes 8 and 33). Portion of the advances are subject to interest per annum of
5.75% in 2022 and 2021. Interest income earned from the advances amounted
to P188 in 2022 and 2021 (Notes 31 and 33).

b. Petron has advances to Petron Corporation Employee Retirement Plan (PCERP)


amounting to P894 and P1,138 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively,
included as part of “Amounts owed by related parties” under “Trade and other
receivables - net” account in the consolidated statements of financial position
(Notes 8 and 33). The advances are subject to interest per annum of 5% in 2022
and 2021. Interest income earned from the advances amounted to P58 and P78
in 2022 and 2021, respectively (Notes 31 and 33).

In 2022 and 2021, portion of Petron’s advances to PCERP were converted into
contribution to the retirement plan.

Transactions with the Retirement Plans are made at normal market prices and terms.
Outstanding balances as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are unsecured and
settlements are made in cash. There have been no guarantees provided for any
retirement plan receivables. The Group has not made any provision for impairment
losses relating to the receivables from the Retirement Plans in 2022, 2021 and 2020.

derivatives to manage its exposures to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity
price risks arising from the operating and financing activities. The accounting policies
in relation to derivatives are set out in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.

The BOD has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk
management framework of the Group.

The risk management policies of the Group are established to identify and analyze
the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to
monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and activities. The Group,
through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a
disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand
their roles and obligations.

The BOD constituted the Audit and Risk Oversight Committee to assist the BOD in
fulfilling its oversight responsibility of the Group’s corporate governance process
relating to the: a) quality and integrity of the consolidated financial statements and
financial reporting process and the systems of internal accounting and financial
controls; b) performance of the internal auditors; c) annual independent audit of the
consolidated financial statements, the engagement of the independent auditors and
the evaluation of the independent auditors’ qualifications, independence and
performance; d) compliance with tax, legal and regulatory requirements;
e) evaluation of management’s process to assess and manage the enterprise risk
issues; and f) fulfillment of the other responsibilities set out by the BOD. The Audit
and Risk Oversight Committee shall prepare such reports as may be necessary to
document the activities of the committee in the performance of its functions and
duties. Such reports shall be included in the annual report of the Group and other
corporate disclosures as may be required by the SEC and/or the PSE.

- 186 -
The Audit and Risk Oversight Committee also oversees how management monitors
compliance with the risk management policies and procedures of the Group and
reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks
faced by the Group. Internal Audit assists the Audit and Risk Oversight Committee in
monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the risk management and governance
processes of the Group. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and special reviews
of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the
Audit and Risk Oversight Committee.

Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows from a financial instrument
(cash flow interest rate risk) or its fair value (fair value interest rate risk) will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to changes in
interest rates relates primarily to the long-term borrowings and investment securities.
Investment securities acquired or borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group
to fair value interest rate risk. On the other hand, investment securities acquired or
borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.

The Group manages its interest cost by using an optimal combination of fixed and
variable rate debt instruments. The management is responsible for monitoring the
prevailing market-based interest rate and ensures that the mark-up rates charged on
its borrowings are optimal and benchmarked against the rates charged by other
creditor banks.

On the other hand, the investment policy of the Group is to maintain an adequate
yield to match or reduce the net interest cost from its borrowings pending the
deployment of funds to their intended use in the operations and working capital
management. However, the Group invests only in high-quality securities while
maintaining the necessary diversification to avoid concentration risk.

In managing interest rate risk, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term
fluctuations on the earnings. Over the longer term, however, permanent changes in
interest rates would have an impact on profit or loss.

The management of interest rate risk is also supplemented by monitoring the


sensitivity of the Group’s financial instruments to various standard and non-standard
interest rate scenarios.

The Group uses interest rate swaps as hedges of the variability in cash flows
attributable to movements in interest rates. The Group applies a hedge ratio of 1:1
and determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging
instrument and hedged item based on the reference interest rates, tenors, repricing
dates and maturities, and notional amounts. The Group assesses whether the
derivative designated in the hedging relationship is expected to be effective in
offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative
method.

The following are the main sources of ineffectiveness in the hedge relationships:

▪ the effect of the counterparty’s and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value
of the derivative contracts, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of
the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in interest rates; and

▪ changes in the timing of the hedged transactions.

The sensitivity to a reasonably possible 1% increase in the interest rates, with all
other variables held constant, would have decreased the Group’s profit before tax
(through the impact on floating rate borrowings) by P4,916, P3,080 and P2,895 in
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A 1% decrease in the interest rate would have
had the equal but opposite effect. These changes are considered to be reasonably
possible given the observation of prevailing market conditions in those
periods. There is no impact on the Group’s other comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency Risk


The functional currency is the Philippine peso, which is the denomination of the bulk
of the Group’s revenues. The exposure to foreign currency risk results from
significant movements in foreign exchange rates that adversely affect the foreign
currency-denominated transactions of the Group. The risk management objective
with respect to foreign currency risk is to reduce or eliminate earnings volatility and
any adverse impact on equity. The Group enters into foreign currency hedges using
a combination of non-derivative and derivative instruments such as foreign currency
forwards, options or swaps to manage its foreign currency risk exposure.

Short-term currency forward contracts (deliverable and non-deliverable) and options


are entered into to manage foreign currency risks arising from importations, revenue
and expense transactions, and other foreign currency-denominated obligations.
Currency swaps are entered into to manage foreign currency risks relating to
long-term foreign currency-denominated borrowings.

Certain derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Group applies
a hedge ratio of 1:1 and determines the existence of an economic relationship
between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount
and timing of the cash flows. The Group assesses whether the derivatives
designated in the hedging relationship is expected to be effective in offsetting
changes in cash flows of the hedged item using the cumulative dollar-offset and
hypothetical derivative method.

The following are the main sources of ineffectiveness in the hedge relationships:

▪ the effect of the counterparty’s and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value
of the derivative contracts, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of
the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in foreign exchange rates; and

▪ changes in the timing of the hedged transactions.

Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that future cash flows from a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices.

The Group enters into various commodity derivatives to manage its price risks on
strategic commodities. Commodity hedging allows stability in prices, thus offsetting
the risk of volatile market fluctuations. Through hedging, prices of commodities are
fixed at levels acceptable to the Group, thus protecting raw material cost and
preserving margins. For hedging transactions, if prices go down, hedge positions
may show marked-to-market losses; however, any loss in the marked-to-market
position is offset by the resulting lower physical raw material cost.

The Parent Company enters into commodity derivative transactions on behalf of its
subsidiaries to reduce cost by optimizing purchasing synergies within the Group and
managing inventory levels of common materials.

Commodity Swaps, Futures and Options. Commodity swaps, futures and options are
used to manage the Group’s exposures to volatility in prices of certain commodities
such as fuel oil, crude oil, coal, aluminum, soybean meal and wheat.

Commodity Forwards. The Group enters into forward purchases of various


commodities. The prices of the commodity forwards are fixed either through direct
agreement with suppliers or by reference to a relevant commodity price index.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk pertains to the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty to meet
payment obligations when they fall due under normal and stress circumstances.

The Group’s objectives to manage its liquidity risk are as follows: a) to ensure that
adequate funding is available at all times; b) to meet commitments as they arise
without incurring unnecessary costs; c) to be able to access funding when needed at
the least possible cost; and d) to maintain an adequate time spread of refinancing
maturities.

The Group constantly monitors and manages its liquidity position, liquidity gaps and
surplus on a daily basis. A committed stand-by credit facility from several local banks
is also available to ensure availability of funds when necessary. The Group also uses
derivative instruments such as forwards and swaps to manage liquidity.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group when a customer or counterparty
to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally
from trade and other receivables and investment securities. The Group manages its
credit risk mainly through the application of transaction limits and close risk
monitoring. It is the Group’s policy to enter into transactions with a wide diversity of
creditworthy counterparties to mitigate any significant concentration of credit risk.

The Group has regular internal control reviews to monitor the granting of credit and
management of credit exposures.

Trade and Other Receivables


The exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of
each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the
Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which
customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on the credit risk.

- 194 -
The Group obtains collateral or arranges master netting agreements, where
appropriate, so that in the event of default, the Group would have a secured claim.

The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is
analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the standard payment and delivery
terms and conditions are offered. The Group ensures that sales on account are
made to customers with appropriate credit history. The Group has detailed credit
criteria and several layers of credit approval requirements before engaging a
particular customer or counterparty. The review includes external ratings, when
available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for
each customer and are reviewed on a regular basis. Customers that fail to meet the
benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment
basis.

Investment in Debt Instruments


The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by investing only in liquid debt
instruments with counterparties that have high credit ratings. The Group monitors
changes in credit risk by tracking published external credit ratings. To determine
whether published ratings remain up to date and to assess whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk at the reporting date that has not been reflected in
published ratings, the Group supplements this by reviewing changes in bond yields.

Credit Quality
In monitoring and controlling credit extended to counterparty, the Group adopts a
comprehensive credit rating system based on financial and non-financial
assessments of its customers. Financial factors being considered comprised the
financial standing of the customer while the non-financial aspects include but are not
limited to the assessment of the customer’s nature of business, management profile,
industry background, payment habit and both present and potential business
dealings with the Group.

The credit quality of financial assets is being managed by the Group using internal
credit ratings. Credit quality of the financial assets were determined as follows:

High grade includes deposits or placements to reputable banks and companies with
good credit standing. High grade financial assets include cash and cash equivalents
and derivative assets.

Standard grade pertains to receivables from counterparties with satisfactory financial


capability and credit standing based on historical data, current conditions and the
Group's view of forward-looking information over the expected lives of the
receivables. Standard grade financial assets include trade and other receivables and
noncurrent receivables and deposits.

Receivables with high probability of delinquency and default were fully provided with
allowance for impairment losses.

Various collaterals for trade receivables such as bank guarantees, time deposits and
real estate mortgages are held by the Group for certain credit limits.

The Group believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than
30 days are still collectible based on historical payment behavior and analyses of the
underlying customer credit ratings. There are no significant changes in their credit
quality.

The Group computes impairment loss on receivables based on past collection


experience, current circumstances and the impact of future economic conditions, if
any, available at the reporting period (Note 4). There are no significant changes in
the credit quality of the counterparties during the year.

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, derivative assets, investment in debt
instruments at FVOCI, investment in debt instruments at amortized cost and
restricted cash are placed with reputable entities with high quality external credit
ratings.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of counterparty. Generally,
the maximum credit risk exposure of trade and other receivables and noncurrent
receivables and deposits is its carrying amount without considering collaterals or
credit enhancements, if any. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk
since the Group deals with a large number of homogenous counterparties.

The Group does not execute any credit guarantee in favor of any counterparty.

Financial and Other Risks Relating to Livestock
The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from the change in cost and supply of
feed ingredients and the selling prices of chicken, hogs and cattle and related
products, all of which are determined by constantly changing market forces such as
supply and demand and other factors. The other factors include environmental
regulations, weather conditions and livestock diseases for which the Group has little
control. The mitigating factors are listed below:

▪ The Group is subject to risks affecting the food industry, generally, including risks
posed by food spoilage and contamination. Specifically, the fresh meat industry
is regulated by environmental, health and food safety organizations and
regulatory sanctions. The Group has put into place systems to monitor food
safety risks throughout all stages of manufacturing and processing to mitigate
these risks. Furthermore, representatives from the government regulatory
agencies are present at all times during the processing of dressed chicken, hogs
and cattle in all dressing and meat plants and issue certificates accordingly. The
authorities, however, may impose additional regulatory requirements that may
require significant capital investment at short notice.

▪ The Group is subject to risks relating to its ability to maintain animal health status
considering that it has no control over neighboring livestock farms. Livestock
health problems could adversely impact production and consumer confidence.
However, the Group monitors the health of its livestock on a daily basis and
proper procedures are put in place.

▪ The livestock industry is exposed to risk associated with the supply and price of
raw materials, mainly grain prices. Grain prices fluctuate depending on the
harvest results. The shortage in the supply of grain will result in adverse
fluctuation in the price of grain and will ultimately increase the Group’s production
cost. If necessary, the Group enters into forward contracts to secure the supply
of raw materials at a reasonable price.

Other Market Price Risk


The Group’s market price risk arises from its investments carried at fair value
(financial assets at FVPL and FVOCI). The Group manages its risk arising from
changes in market price by monitoring the changes in the market price of the
investments.

Capital Management
The Group maintains a sound capital base to ensure its ability to continue as a going
concern, thereby continue to provide returns to stockholders and benefits to other
stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of
changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the
Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, pay-off existing debts,
return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of debt-to-equity ratio, which is calculated
as total debt divided by total equity. Total debt is defined as total current liabilities
and total noncurrent liabilities, while equity is total equity as shown in the
consolidated statements of financial position.

The BOD has overall responsibility for monitoring capital in proportion to risk.
Profiles for capital ratios are set in the light of changes in the external environment
and the risks underlying the Group’s business, operation and industry.

- 198 -
The Group, except for BOC which is subject to certain capitalization requirements by
the BSP, is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables, Noncurrent Receivables
and Deposits and Restricted Cash. The carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents and trade and other receivables approximates fair value primarily due to
the relatively short-term maturities of these financial instruments. In the case of
financial assets at amortized cost, noncurrent receivables and deposits and
restricted cash, the fair value is based on the present value of expected future cash
flows using the applicable discount rates based on current market rates of identical
or similar quoted instruments.

- 199 -
Derivatives. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are calculated by
reference to current forward exchange rates. In the case of freestanding currency
and commodity derivatives, the fair values are determined based on quoted prices
obtained from their respective active markets. Fair values for stand-alone derivative
instruments that are not quoted from an active market and for embedded derivatives
are based on valuation models used for similar instruments using both observable
and non-observable inputs.

Financial Assets at FVPL and Financial Assets at FVOCI. The fair values of publicly
traded instruments and similar investments are based on quoted market prices in an
active market. For debt instruments with no quoted market prices, a reasonable
estimate of their fair values is calculated based on the expected cash flows from the
instruments discounted using the applicable discount rates of comparable
instruments quoted in active markets.

Loans Payable and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. The carrying amount
of loans payable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair
value due to the relatively short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

Long-term Debt, Lease Liabilities and Other Noncurrent Liabilities. The fair value of
interest-bearing fixed rate loans is based on the discounted value of expected future
cash flows using the applicable market rates for similar types of instruments as at
reporting date. Discount rates used for Philippine Peso-denominated loans range
from 2.9% to 7.0% and 1.0% to 4.8% as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The discount rates used for foreign currency-denominated loans range
from 3.1% to 5.4% and 0.3% to 1.5% as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The carrying amounts of floating rate loans with quarterly interest rate
repricing approximate their fair values.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges


The Group enters into certain derivatives as economic hedges of certain underlying
exposures. These include freestanding and embedded derivatives found in host
contracts, which are not designated as accounting hedges. Changes in fair value of
these instruments are accounted for directly in the consolidated statements of
income. Details are as follows:

Freestanding Derivatives
Freestanding derivatives consist of interest rate, foreign currency and commodity
derivatives entered into by the Group.

Interest Rate Swap


The Group has outstanding interest rate swap with notional amount of US$365 as at
December 31, 2022. Under the agreement, the Group receives floating interest rate
based on LIBOR and pays fixed interest rate up to 2026. The net positive fair value
of the swap amounted to P45 as at December 31, 2022.

Currency Forwards
The Group has outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with aggregate
notional amount of US$959 and US$748 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021,

On January 12, 2023, the expiration deadline of the tender offer, a total of US$22
(P1,118) in principal amount of SPCS were accepted by Petron. Security holders that
validly tendered their securities at or prior to the expiration deadline and which
Petron accepted for purchase from such security holder were paid the applicable
purchase price of US$927.00 per US$1,000.00 on January 19, 2023.

42. Registration with the Board of Investments (BOI) and Others

a. San Miguel Global Power

o In 2013, MPI and LPI were granted incentives by the BOI on a pioneer status
for six years subject to the representations and commitments set forth in the
application for registration, the provisions of Omnibus Investments Code of
1987 (Executive Order (EO) No. 226), the rules and regulations of the BOI
and the terms and conditions prescribed. On October 5, 2016, BOI granted
LPI's request to move the start of its commercial operation and Income Tax
Holiday (ITH) reckoning date from February 2016 to September 2017 or
when the first kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy was transmitted after
commissioning or testing, or one month from the date of such commissioning
or testing, whichever comes earlier as certified by NGCP. Subsequently, on
December 21, 2016, BOI granted a similar request of MPI to move the start
of its commercial operation and ITH reckoning date from December 2015 to
July 2016, or the actual date of commercial operations subject to compliance
with the specific terms and conditions, due to delay in the implementation of
the project for reasons beyond its control. MPI’s request on the further
extension of the ITH reckoning date from July 2016 to September 2017 was
likewise approved by the BOI on December 5, 2018. The ITH period for Unit
1 and Unit 2 of LPI commenced on May 26, 2017. The ITH incentives shall
only be limited to the conditions given under the specific terms and
conditions of their respective BOI registrations.

- 205 -
o On September 20, 2016, LETI was registered with the BOI under EO No. 226
as expanding operator of 2 x 150 MW Circulating Fluidized Bed Coal-fired
Power Plant (Phase II Limay Greenfield Power Plant) on a non-pioneer
status. The BOI categorized LETI as an "Expansion" based on the 2014 to
2016 IPP's Specific Guidelines for "Energy" in relation to LPI's 2 x 150 MW
Coal-fired Power Plant (Phase I Limay Greenfield Power Plant). As a
registered entity, LETI is entitled to certain incentives that include, among
others, an ITH for three years from January 2018 or date of actual start of
commercial operations, whichever is earlier, but in no case earlier than the
date of registration. The ITH incentives shall only be limited to the conditions
given under the specific terms and conditions of LETI’s BOI registrations.

In June 2017, the BOI approved the transfer of ownership and registration of
Phase II Limay Greenfield Power Plant from LETI to LPI. On
July 13, 2018, BOI granted the request of LPI to move the start of its
commercial operation and ITH reckoning date from January 2018 to March
2018 or actual start of commercial operations, whichever is earlier. The ITH
period for Unit 3 and Unit 4 commenced on March 26, 2018 and expired in
2021.

o SPI, SRHI and SPPC are registered with the BOI as administrator of their
respective power plants, on a pioneer status with non-pioneer incentives and
were granted ITH for four years without extension beginning August 1, 2010
up to July 31, 2014, subject to compliance with certain requirements under
their registrations. The ITH incentive availed was limited only to the sale of
power generated from the power plants. Upon expiration of the ITH in 2014,
SPI, SRHI and SPPC are now subject to the regular income tax rate.
Accordingly, applications for deregistration have been filed by SPI, SRHI and
SPPC and the same were approved by the BOI on its letter dated
February 22, 2022.

o On August 21, 2007, SEPC was registered with the BOI under EO No. 226,
as New Domestic Producer of Coal on a Non-pioneer Status.

o On October 12, 2012, MPPCL received the BOI approval for the application
as expanding operator of 600 MW Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant. As a
registered entity, MPPCL is entitled to ITH for three years from June 2017 or
actual start of commercial operations, whichever is earlier (but not earlier
than the date of registration) subject to compliance with the specific terms
and conditions set forth in the BOI registration. On May 27, 2014, the BOI
approved MPPCL’s request to move the start of its commercial operation and
the reckoning date of the ITH entitlement from June 2017 to December 2018.
On June 17, 2015, the BOI subsequently granted MPPCL’s requests to
downgrade the registered capacity from 600 MW to 300 MW.

On December 21, 2015, MPPCL received the BOI approval for the
application as new operator of 10 MW BESS Project on a pioneer status. The
BESS Facility provides 10 MW of interconnected capacity and enhances the
reliability of the Luzon grid using the Advancion energy storage solution. As a
registered entity, MPPCL is entitled to incentives that include, among others,
an ITH for six years from December 2018 or date of actual start of
commercial operations, whichever is earlier (but not earlier than the date of
registration) subject to compliance with the specific terms and conditions of
MPPCL’s BOI registration. The ITH period for the 10 MW BESS of MPPCL
commenced on December 1, 2018. On October 1, 2020, MPPCL likewise
received the BOI approval on the additional 20 MW BESS Phase 2 Project of
MPPCL.

- 206 -
On February 23, 2021, MPPCL received the BOI approval for the
applications as new operator of 315 MW Super Critical Pulverized Coal

43. Other Matters

a. Contingencies

The Group is a party to certain lawsuits or claims (mostly labor related cases)
filed by third parties which are either pending decision by the courts or are
subject to settlement agreements. The outcome of these lawsuits or claims
cannot be presently determined. In the opinion of management and its legal
counsel, the eventual liability from these lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

▪ Excess Excise Tax Payments

Filed by the Parent Company

In 2004, the Parent Company was assessed excise taxes by the BIR on “San
Mig Light” which at that time was one of its products. These assessments
were contested by the Parent Company but nonetheless made the
corresponding payments. Consequently, the Parent Company filed three
claims for refund for overpayments of excise taxes with the BIR.

The first and second claims for refund were then elevated to the Court of Tax
Appeals (CTA) and went all the way to the Supreme Court which was
resolved in favor of the Parent Company. On September 8, 2020, the BIR
issued TCC Nos. 121-20-00012 and 121-20-00013 amounting to P782 and
P926, respectively in favor of SMC (Note 32). P255 and P62 out of P782
TCC was partially applied to the Parent Company’s 2022 and 2021 tax
obligations, respectively. As at December 31, 2022, the P926 TCC was not
yet applied to any of the Parent Company’s tax obligations.

- 223 -
The third claim for refund was consolidated with a claim for refund which was
filed by SMB, a company to which, effective October 1, 2007, the Parent
Company had spun off its domestic beer business. The claim was also
favorably resolved in favor of the Parent Company and SMB. On August 10,
2020, the BIR issued TCC No. 121-20-00010 amounting to P105 in favor of
SMC (Note 32), which was applied in full to the Parent Company’s tax
obligations as at December 31, 2021.

Filed by SMB

SMB filed 13 claims for refund for overpayments of excise taxes with the BIR
which were then elevated to the CTA by way of petition for review. Four of
these claims (i.e., CTA Case Nos. 7973, 8209, 8400 and 8591) were decided
by the Supreme Court in favor of SMB and tax credit certificates amounting
to P1,430 and P1,569 were received in 2019 and 2020, respectively. One
claim (CTA Case No. 10241) was withdrawn with the issuance of a tax credit
certificate in the amount of P162 in 2021. The remaining eight claims for
refund are still pending before the courts, as follows:

(a) Claim for refund of overpayments for the period of January 1, 2012 to
December 31, 2012 - Second Division docketed as CTA Case No. 8748
(December 19, 2013);

(b) Claim for refund of overpayments for the period of January 1, 2013 to
December 31, 2013 - Third Division docketed as CTA Case No. 8955
(December 19, 2014);

(c) Claim for refund of overpayments for the period of January 1, 2014 to
December 31, 2014 - Third Division docketed as CTA Case
No. 9223 (December 22, 2015);

(d) Claim for refund of overpayments for the period of January 1, 2015 to
December 31, 2015 - Second Division docketed as CTA Case
No. 9513 (December 28, 2016);

(e) Claim for refund of overpayments for the period from January 1, 2016 to
December 31, 2016 - First Division docketed as CTA Case
No. 9743 (December 29, 2017);

(f) Claim for refund of overpayments for the period from January 1, 2017 to
December 31, 2017 - Third Division docketed as CTA Case
No. 10000 (December 27, 2018);

(g) Claim for refund of overpayments for the period from January 1, 2018 to
December 31, 2018 - First Division docketed as CTA Case
No. 10223 (December 11, 2019); and

(h) Claim for refund for overpayments for the period of January 23, 2020 to
February 9, 2020 - docketed as CTA Case No. 10745 (via electronic mail
on January 21, 2022, registered mail on January 24, 2022, and personal
filing on February 2, 2022).

- 224 -
CTA Case No. 8748 was decided in favor of SMB by the CTA Second
Division, ordering the BIR to refund to SMB the amount of P761. The BIR
appealed the decision to the CTA En Banc by way of a Petition for Review,
which was denied on October 11, 2018. A Motion for Reconsideration was
filed by the BIR on November 5, 2018 (docketed as CTA EB Case No. 1730)
to which SMB filed an opposition. The CTA En Banc denied BIR’s Motion for
Reconsideration. Thus, the BIR filed a Petition for Review with the Supreme
Court in June 2019. The Supreme Court issued a Resolution dated
January 27, 2021 denying the BIR’s Petition for Review for failure to show
any reversible error warranting the exercise by the Supreme Court of its
discretionary appellate jurisdiction. On December 6, 2022, SMB received
from the Clerk of Court of the Supreme Court the corresponding “ENTRY OF
JUDGMENT” certifying that the aforementioned Resolution dated
January 27, 2021 denying the BIR’s Petition for Review had become final
and executory. On January 6, 2023, SMB filed in CTA Case No. 8748 a
Motion for Execution of the final judgment of the CTA Second Division which
granted SMB’s claim for refund of P761. The Writ of Execution was issued on
February 14, 2023.

CTA Case No. 8955, SMB’s claim for refund for P83, was decided against
SMB by the CTA Third Division for having purportedly availed of the wrong
mode of appeal as SMB should have filed the petition with the RTC rather
than through a collateral attack on issuances of the BIR via a judicial claim
for refund. SMB, through counsel, filed a Motion for Reconsideration, arguing
that the case involves a claim for refund and is at the same time a direct
attack on the BIR issuances which imposed excise tax rates which are
contradictory to, and violative of, the rates imposed in the Tax Code. With the
denial of SMB’s Motion for Reconsideration on January 5, 2018, SMB
elevated the case to the CTA En Banc by way of a Petition for Review. On
September 19, 2018, the CTA En Banc reversed and set aside the decision
of the CTA Third Division and remanded the case to the CTA Third Division
for the resolution of the same on the merits (docketed as CTA EB Case
No. 1772). A Motion for Reconsideration was filed by the BIR which was
subsequently denied by the CTA En Banc in a resolution dated January 24,
2019. The BIR sought an extension within which to file a Petition for Review
with the Supreme Court which was docketed as G.R. No. 244738. After the
BIR filed a Manifestation stating that it will no longer file a Petition for Review
on Certiorari, the Supreme Court issued a Resolution dated January 8, 2020
considering the case closed and terminated. The records were remanded to
the CTA Third Division. Upon return of the case to the Division, SMB filed a
motion for leave to file a “Supplemental Formal Offer of Evidence”, where it
offered additional exhibits. The Court granted the motion but directed the
following: (1) holding of a Commissioner’s Hearing for marking of the
additional exhibits; and (2) recall of SMB’s witness. Subsequently, SMB
marked its additional exhibits and its witness testified on recall. SMB filed its
Supplemental Formal Offer of Evidence on April 4, 2022 and its
Supplemental Memorandum on August 11, 2022. On September 20, 2022,
the Court issued a Resolution stating that the case was deemed submitted
for decision.

- 225 -
CTA Case No. 9223, SMB’s claim for refund for P60, was partially decided in
favor of SMB by the CTA Third Division. From the CTA Third Division, SMB
and the BIR filed separate Petitions for Review with the CTA En Banc. On
February 21, 2022, the CTA En Banc rendered a Decision denying the
separate Petitions for Review. On March 21, 2022, SMB elevated the
Decision of the CTA En Banc by way of a Petition for Review to the Supreme
Court, where it was docketed as G.R. No. 258812, insofar as the Decision of
the CTA En Banc did not grant its claim for refund of excess excise taxes
paid on “San Mig Light” in kegs in the amount of P5. On July 28, 2022, the
BIR, on its own and without the assistance of the Office of the Solicitor
General (OSG), also elevated the aforesaid Decision of the CTA En Banc to
the Supreme Court, where it was docketed as G.R. No. 261197. In an earlier
Manifestation and Motion dated July 21, 2022, the OSG informed the SC that
it decided not to file a Petition for Review in G.R. No. 261197 considering
that the Decision and Resolution of the CTA En Banc are in order. In a
Resolution dated July 13, 2022, the Supreme Court in G.R. No. 258812
required the OSG to file a Comment on SMB’s Petition for Review. On
October 13, 2022, the OSG filed a Manifestation and Motion in G.R.
No. 258812 praying that it be excused from filing the required Comment
because the Decision of the CTA En Banc is in order and should be
respected. In a Resolution dated January 11, 2023, the Supreme Court
required SMB in G.R. No. 261197 to file a Comment on the BIR’s Petition for
Review. In its Comment, SMB argued, among other things, that the Petition
for Review filed by the BIR Litigation Division should not be entertained by
the Court because under Section 35, paragraph (1), Chapter 12, Title III, of
the Administrative Code of 1987, the OSG is mandated to directly handle
appellate cases of the BIR in the Supreme Court.

CTA Case No. 9513, SMB’s claim for refund for P48, was partially decided in
favor of SMB by the CTA Second Division. From the CTA Second Division,
SMB and the BIR filed separate Petitions for Review with the CTA En Banc.
On February 4, 2021, the CTA En Banc affirmed the decision of CTA Second
Division. Both parties filed motions for partial reconsideration of the CTA En
Banc’s Decision. In its October 22, 2021 Resolution, the CTA En Banc
denied the parties’ motion for reconsideration. On December 16, 2021, SMB
filed a Petition for Review on Certiorari with the Supreme Court docketed as
G.R. No. 257784, insofar as the said Decision of the CTA En Banc did not
grant SMB’s claim for refund of excess excise taxes paid on “San Mig Light”
in kegs in the amount of P4. On February 2, 2022, the BIR also elevated by
way of Petition for Review the Decision of the CTA En Banc to the Supreme
Court, where it was docketed as G.R. No. 259263. In a Resolution dated
March 30, 2022, the Supreme Court issued a Resolution which consolidated
G.R. No. 257784 with G.R. No. 259263, and required the BIR to file a
Comment on SMB’s Petition for Review in G.R. No. 257784. On June 3,
2022, the OSG filed the required Comment.

- 226 -
CTA Case No. 9743, SMB’s claim for refund for P30, was partially decided in
favor of SMB by the CTA First Division. The Motion for Partial New Trial of
SMB and Motion for Reconsideration filed by SMB and the BIR were denied.
Both parties filed their respective Petition for Review with the CTA En Banc.
On February 10, 2022, the CTA En Banc rendered a Decision denying the
Petitions for Review. On March 21, 2022, SMB elevated by way of a Petition
for Review the Decision of the CTA En Banc to the Supreme Court, where it
was docketed as G.R. No. 258813, insofar as the said Decision did not grant
its Claim for Refund of excess excise taxes paid on “San Mig Light” in kegs in
the amount of P3. On July 29, 2022, the BIR also elevated the Decision of
the CTA En Banc by way of a Petition for Review with the Supreme Court,
where it was docketed as G.R. No. 261196. In a Resolution dated June 15,
2022, the Supreme Court required the BIR to file a Comment on SMB’s
Petition for Review in G.R. No. 258813. On July 25, 2022, the OSG, on
behalf of the BIR, filed the required Comment.

CTA Case No. 10000, SMB’s claim for refund for P123, was filed on
December 27, 2018 and is pending with the CTA Third Division. On
September 22, 2021, the CTA Third Division partially granted SMB’s Petition
for Review and ordered the refund of P123. The BIR filed for a motion for
reconsideration. On March 23, 2022, as required by the Court, SMB filed an
opposition to the BIR’s motion for reconsideration. The aforesaid motion of
the BIR was denied in a Resolution of the Court dated April 28, 2022. On
June 10, 2022, the BIR elevated the Decision and Resolution of the CTA
Third Division by way of a Petition for Review to the CTA En Banc, where it
was docketed as CTA EB No. 2625. As required by the CTA En Banc, SMB
filed a Comment on the BIR’s Petition for Review on July 26, 2022. On
August 23, 2022, the CTA En Banc issued a Resolution stating that the BIR’s
Petition for Review was deemed submitted for decision.

CTA Case No. 10223, SMB’s claim for refund for P147, was filed on
December 11, 2019 and is pending with the CTA First Division. After the Pre-
Trial Conference was held on November 11, 2020, SMB’s Motion for the
Commissioning of an Independent Certified Public Accountant (ICPA) was
heard on February 3, 2021. At the hearing held on February 3, 2021, the
ICPA was duly commissioned and SMB’s first witness testified. On May 19,
2021, the ICPA submitted his Report to the Court, and on February 9, 2022,
the ICPA testified on his Report. Thereafter, on February 16, 2022, SMB
submitted its Formal Offer of Evidence. All of SMB’s exhibits were admitted
in evidence. On May 19, 2022, the BIR informed the Court that it was not
presenting any evidence. As required by the Court, SMB submitted its
Memorandum on June 30, 2022, while the BIR submitted its Memorandum
on July 7, 2022. In a Resolution dated July 16, 2022, the Court stated that
this case was deemed for decision.

CTA Case No. 10745, SMB’s claim for refund for P1,069, was personally
filed on February 2, 2022 and is pending with the CTA First Division. The
case is a consolidation of two claims, to wit:

i. P8 under RA No. 10351 - the overpayment arose from the BIR’s


imposition of excise tax of P27.07 per liter on SMB’s beer products for
the period January 23, 2020 to February 9, 2020 based on Revenue
Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 90-2012 and RR No. 17-2012. Said
BIR issuances are inconsistent with RA No. 10351 which imposes an
excise tax of P26.44 per liter under Section 143 of the National Internal
Revenue Code (NIRC), as amended by RA No. 10351 beginning
January 1, 2020.

- 227 -
ii. P1,061 under RA No. 11467 - the overpayment arose from the BIR’s
imposition of excise tax of P35.00 per liter on SMB’s beer products, as
provided under Section 143 of the NIRC, as amended by RA No. 11467,
for the period January 23, 2020 to February 9, 2020. The said imposition
was based on RMC No. 65-2020, as amended by RMC No. 113-2020,
implementing RA No. 11467 at an earlier date (i.e., January 23, 2020)
which is inconsistent with the actual effectivity date of RA No. 11467
(i.e., February 10, 2020).

The parties are in the process of filing their respective Memoranda after
which the case will be submitted for decision.

Administrative Case
SMB filed an administrative claim for refund of overpayments of excise taxes
for the period of January 1, 2020 to January 22, 2020 in the amount of P8
with the BIR on October 7, 2021. The BIR issued a TCC on December 17,
2021 in favor of SMB in the amount of P8 (Note 32), which was fully utilized
against SMB’s tax obligations in 2022.

Filed by GSMI

GSMI filed two claims for refund for overpayments of excise taxes with the
BIR which were then elevated to the CTA by way of petition for review as
follows:

(a) CTA Case Nos. 8953 and 8954: These cases pertain to GSMI’s Claims
for Refund with the BIR, in the amounts of P582 in Case No. 8953, and
P133 in Case No. 8954, or in the total amount of P715, representing
payments of excise tax erroneously, excessively, illegally, and/or
wrongfully assessed on and collected from GSMI by the BIR on removals
of its distilled spirits or finished products for the periods from January 1,
2013 up to May 31, 2013 in Case No. 8953, and from January 8, 2013 up
to March 31, 2013 in Case No. 8954.

After several hearings and presentation of evidence, both parties filed


their respective Formal Offers of Evidence.

On July 28, 2020, the CTA Third Division rendered its Decision and
denied GSMI’s Petition for Review. GSMI received said Decision on
August 24, 2020, for which it timely filed a Motion for Reconsideration on
the aforementioned Decision on September 2, 2020, to which the CIR
filed its Opposition.

The CTA Third Division issued an Amended Decision dated February 1,


2021 which partially granted GSMI’s Motion for Reconsideration and
ruled that GSMI is entitled to a refund of its erroneously and excessively
paid excise taxes in the amount of P320 out of its original claim of P715.

GSMI and CIR subsequently filed Motions for Reconsideration on the


aforesaid Amended Decision and Oppositions to each other’s Motion for
Reconsideration. In a Resolution dated October 28, 2021, the CTA Third
Division denied for lack of merit GSMI’s Motion for Reconsideration and
CIR’s Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Amended Decision.

- 228 -
On January 4, 2022, GSMI elevated to the CTA En Banc the Decision
dated July 28, 2020, Amended Decision dated February 1, 2021, and
Resolution dated October 28, 2021 of the CTA Third Division, by way of
a Petition for Review, which was docketed as CTA E.B. No. 2555.

Earlier, the CIR also filed a Petition for Review with the CTA En Banc
elevating thereto the Amended Decision dated February 1, 2021 and
Resolution dated October 28, 2021 of the CTA Third Division and the
same was docketed as CTA E.B. No. 2544.

On March 28, 2022, the Court En Banc ordered the Parties to file their
respective Comments/Oppositions to the Petitions for Review. On April 7,
2022, GSMI filed a Motion for Extension of Time to File Comment on the
Petition for Review in CTA E.B. No. 2544.

On April 21, 2022, GSMI filed its Comment on the Petition for Review. On
May 30, 2022, the Court En Banc promulgated a Resolution which
denied GSMI’s Motion for Extension and submitted the Petitions for
Review for decision. On June 13, 2022, GSMI filed its Motion for
Reconsideration assailing the said Resolution.

On October 4, 2022, the Court En Banc promulgated a Resolution which


set aside the May 30, 2022 Resolution insofar as the Petitions for Review
were submitted for decision. The Resolution likewise directed the CIR to
file a Comment to GSMI’s Motion for Reconsideration, to which the CIR
failed despite due notice.

On January 18, 2023, the CTA En Banc granted GSMI’s Motion for
Extension of Time to File Comment on the Petition for Review in CTA
E.B. No. 2544 and admitted GSMI’s Comment as part of the records of
the case.

These cases are still pending resolution before the CTA En Banc.

(b) CTA Case No. 9059: This case pertains to GSMI’s Claim for Refund with
the BIR, in the total amount of P26, representing payments of excise tax
erroneously, excessively, illegally, and/or wrongfully assessed on and
collected from GSMI by the BIR on removals of its distilled spirits or
finished products for the period from June 1, 2013 up to July 31, 2013.

After presentation of its testimonial and documentary evidence, GSMI


filed its Formal Offer of Evidence and Supplemental Offer of Evidence,
which were all admitted by the CTA. BIR’s presentation of evidence was
set to January 23, 2019.

In a decision dated February 6, 2020, the CTA denied GSMI’s Claim for
Refund for insufficiency of evidence. On February 20, 2020, GSMI filed a
Motion for Reconsideration of the said Decision. However, the Motion for
Reconsideration was denied by the CTA on June 9, 2020. On August 28,
2020, GSMI elevated the case to the CTA En Banc by way of a Petition
for Review.

In a Decision dated November 10, 2021, the CTA En Banc denied the
Petition for Review filed by GSMI. The Decision dated February 6, 2020
and the Resolution dated June 9, 2020 of the CTA Second Division were
affirmed.

- 229 -
On December 10, 2021, GSMI elevated the Decision of the CTA En
Banc to the Supreme Court by way of a Petition for Review, which was
docketed as SC G.R. No. 25839.

As at March 9, 2023, the case is still pending resolution before the


Supreme Court.

The aforementioned assessments and collection cases arose from the


imposition and collection of excise taxes on GSMI’s finished products
processed and produced exclusively from its inventory of ethyl alcohol,
notwithstanding that excise taxes had already been previously paid by GSMI
on the said ethyl alcohol.

▪ Deficiency Tax Liabilities

IBI

(a) The BIR issued a Final Assessment Notice dated March 30, 2012 (2009
Assessment), imposing on IBI deficiency tax liabilities, including interest
and penalties, for the tax year 2009. IBI treated the royalty income
earned from the licensing of its intellectual properties to SMB as passive
income, and therefore subject to 20% final tax. However, the BIR is of the
position that said royalty income is regular business income subject to
the 30% regular corporate income tax.

IBI filed a protest against the assessment which was denied by the BIR.
Thereafter, IBI filed a Petition for Review with the CTA docketed as CTA
Case No. 8607. The CTA found IBI liable to pay the deficiency income
tax, interests and penalties assessed by the BIR but the compromised
penalty was cancelled. On January 22, 2016, IBI filed a Petition for
Review with the CTA En Banc which was docketed as CTA EB Case
No. 1417. The CTA En Banc affirmed the decision of the CTA First
Division.

IBI elevated the case with the Supreme Court by filing a Petition for
Review on September 7, 2018 docketed as G.R. Nos. 241147-48. On
January 16, 2019, the Supreme Court denied IBI’s Petition to which a
Motion for Reconsideration was filed by IBI on April 5, 2019. IBI’s Petition
was denied with finality on June 26, 2019.

On December 16, 2019, IBI and the BIR executed a Compromise


Agreement. The BIR recognized the total payment of IBI in the amount of
P285 as full satisfaction of the latter’s supposed tax liability for taxable
year 2009. On July 6, 2021, the Supreme Court approved the
Compromise Agreement and considered the case closed and terminated.

(b) Maintaining its position that royalties are business income subject to 30%
regular corporate income tax, the BIR assessed IBI for taxable year 2010
with a demand for payment of income tax and VAT deficiencies with
administrative penalties. IBI protested the assessment through a letter
dated November 29, 2013. IBI filed a Petition for Review with the CTA
which was docketed as CTA Case No. 8813. CTA found IBI liable to pay
deficiency income tax, interest and penalties. Thus, IBI filed a Petition for
Review with the CTA En Banc docketed as CTA EB Case Nos. 1563 and
1564.

- 230 -
IBI filed an application for abatement with a corresponding payment of
basic tax in the amount of P110. In the said application, IBI requested for
the cancellation of the surcharge and interests. However, the CTA En
Banc did not consider the payment of basic deficiency tax of P110 for
failure to submit related requirements. Instead, IBI was ordered to pay a
modified amount of P501 in light of the CREATE Act amendments on
interest. IBI filed a Motion for Reconsideration with a submission of
original documents related to the application of abatement. The CTA En
Banc partially granted IBI’s Motion for Reconsideration.

IBI filed Petition for Review with the Supreme Court docketed as G.R.
Nos. 246911-12. On December 27,2019, IBI filed a Manifestation
informing the Supreme Court that on December 5, 2019 and
December 16, 2019, IBI and the BIR, respectively, executed a
Compromise Agreement to amicably settle the tax case. On March 3,
2021, the Supreme Court considered G.R. Nos. 246911-12 closed and
terminated.

(c) On December 27, 2016, IBI received a Formal Letter of Demand for tax
year 2012 with a demand for payment of income tax, VAT, withholding
tax, documentary stamp tax (DST) and miscellaneous tax deficiencies
with administrative penalties. IBI filed a Protest. Due to the inaction of the
BIR, IBI filed a Petition for Review with the CTA Third Division and
docketed as CTA Case No. 9657.

On March 2, 2020, the CTA First Division promulgated its Decision


partially granting IBI’s Petition for Review. The assessment for deficiency
income tax, VAT, DST and compromise penalty are cancelled and set
aside. However, the assessment for deficiency expanded withholding tax
is affirmed, and IBI was ordered to pay deficiency expanded withholding
tax including interest and surcharges amounting to P5.

On October 29, 2020, the BIR filed a Petition for Review with CTA
En Banc. On January 25, 2021, IBI filed its Comment to the Petition for
Review. On July 21, 2022, the CTA En Banc denied the BIR’s Petition for
Review. Thereafter, the BIR filed for a motion for reconsideration which
was also denied by the CTA En Banc.

The BIR filed a Petition for Review on Certiorari dated January 9, 2023
with the Supreme Court docketed as G.R. No. 264402.

SMFI

(a) SMFI (as the surviving corporation in a merger involving Monterey Foods
Corporation [MFC]) vs. CIR CTA Case 9046

In connection with the tax investigation of MFC for the period


January 1 to August 31, 2010, an FDDA was issued by the BIR on
January 14, 2015 upholding the deficiency income tax, VAT and DST
assessments against SMFI.

SMFI filed a Request for Reconsideration which the CIR denied


prompting SMFI to file a Petition for Review with the CTA, docketed as
CTA Case No. 9046.

- 231 -
The CTA First Division granted the Petition for Review filed by SMFI
based on the following grounds: (1) the Formal Letter of Demand/Final
Assessment Notice issued by the BIR was void as it did not contain
demand to pay taxes due within a specific period; and (2) lack of valid
Letter of Authority. Accordingly, the Formal Letter of Demand/Final
Assessment Notice issued against SMFI for deficiency income tax, VAT
and DST for the period January 1 to August 31, 2010 and the FDDA, for
being intrinsically void, were ordered cancelled.

The BIR filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the CTA First Division,
which was denied.

The BIR then filed a Petition for Review before the CTA En Banc, which
was also denied.

While the Petition was pending, the BIR issued a Warrant of Distraint
and/or Levy (WDL) against SMFI (as the surviving corporation). SMFI
requested BIR for the lifting and cancellation of the WDL and filed an
Urgent Omnibus Motion with the CTA to suspend collection of taxes and
declare the WDL null and void.

To put an end to a protracted, expensive and mutually prejudicial


litigation, SMFI and the BIR entered into an amicable settlement through
execution of a Judicial Compromise Agreement (JCA), which the
Supreme Court approved on June 28, 2021. The Supreme Court further
ruled that the case should be considered closed and terminated.

(b) SMFI vs. CIR CTA Case No. 9241

On December 16, 2015, an FDDA was issued by the BIR assessing


deficiency income tax and VAT against SMFI in connection to the tax
investigation for the period January 1 to December 31, 2010.

The deficiency income tax and VAT pertain to the disallowed NOLCO
and input tax credits which were transferred to and vested in SMFI from
MFC by operation of law as a result of the merger between SMFI and
MFC. According to the BIR, as the ruling (BIR Ruling 424-14 dated
October 24, 2014) issued in connection to the merger of SMFI and MFC
did not contain an opinion on the assets and liabilities transferred during
the merger, the NOLCO and input tax credits from MFC were disallowed.
However, it is SMFI’s position that the use of the NOLCO and input tax
credit from MFC, as the surviving corporation pursuant to a statutory
merger is proper, as the same is allowed by law, BIR issuances and
confirmed by several BIR rulings prevailing at the time of the transaction.

SMFI filed a Petition for Review before the CTA, docketed as CTA Case
No. 9241.

The CTA Third Division rendered its decision granting SMFI’s Petition for
Review and cancelling the deficiency income tax and VAT assessment
issued by the BIR. The BIR then filed a Motion for Reconsideration which
was denied.

Despite the finality of the Decision, the BIR issued a WDL against SMFI.
SMFI requested BIR for the lifting and cancellation of the WDL.

- 232 -
To put an end to a protracted, expensive and mutually prejudicial
litigation, SMFI and the BIR entered into an amicable settlement through
execution of a JCA, which was approved by the CTA Third Division.

The CTA Third Division also declared the WDL null and void and ordered
it to be cancelled and withdrawn.

(c) SMFI vs. Office of the City Treasurer, City of Davao

SMFI filed several protests against the assessments issued by the City
Treasurer of Davao City imposing permit fees to slaughter against its
poultry dressing plants in Sirawan, Toril District and Los Amigos, Tugbok
District both located in Davao City.

Following the dismissal of the appeals filed by SMFI with the Davao RTC,
the following Petitions for review were filed with the CTA:

▪ CTA Case AC No. 209, filed on August 23, 2018


▪ CTA Case AC No. 210, filed on November 12, 2018
▪ CTA Case AC No. 249, filed on February 26, 2021

It is SMFI’s position that Section 367 (a) of the 2005 Revenue Code of
the City of Davao (Revenue Code of Davao City) on the imposition of
permit fee to slaughter is applicable only to slaughterhouses operated by
the City Government of Davao City. SMFI’s poultry dressing plants in
Sirawan, Toril District and Los Amigos, Tugbok District, being privately
owned and operated slaughterhouses are beyond the coverage of
Section 357 (a) of the Revenue Code of Davao City. In addition, given
that SMFI is already paying ante and post-mortem fees for the slaughter
of poultry products pursuant to Section 367 (d) of the same Revenue
Code, the assessment of permit fee to slaughter would constitute double
taxation.

The CTA First Division dismissed the Petition docketed as CTA Case AC
No. 209. SMFI’s Motion for Reconsideration was denied. A Petition for
Review was then filed with the CTA En Banc in May 2021, which is
pending resolution to date.

The CTA First Division also dismissed the Petition docketed as CTA
Case AC No. 210. SMFI’s Motion for Reconsideration was likewise
denied. SMFI’s Petition for Review with the CTA En Banc in October
2021 is likewise pending resolution to date.

Finally, the CTA Special Third Division likewise dismissed the Petition for
Review docketed as CTA Case AC No. 249 on the grounds of lack of
jurisdiction on permit fees as it is not a tax, therefore outside the CTA’s
jurisdiction. In December 2022, SMFI filed a Motion for Reconsideration
which is still pending resolution to date.

▪ Oil Spill Incident in Guimaras

On August 11, 2006, MT Solar I, a third party vessel contracted by Petron to


transport approximately two million liters of industrial fuel oil, sank 13 nautical
miles southwest of Guimaras, an island province in the Western Visayas
region of the Philippines. In separate investigations by the Philippine
Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Special Board of Marine Inquiry (SBMI),
both agencies found the owners of MT Solar I liable. The DOJ found Petron
not criminally liable, but the SBMI found Petron to have overloaded the
vessel. Petron has appealed the findings of the SBMI to the DOTr and is
awaiting its resolution. Petron believes that SBMI can impose administrative
penalties on vessel owners and crew, but has no authority to penalize other
parties, such as Petron, which are charterers.

Other complaints for non-payment of compensation for the clean-up


operations during the oil spill were filed with the RTC of Guimaras by a total
of 1,063 plaintiffs who allegedly did not receive any payment of their claims
for damages arising from the oil spill. The total claims amounted to P292.
The cases were pending as at December 31, 2022. In the course of plaintiffs’
presentation of evidence, they moved for trial by commissioner, which was
denied by the trial court. The plaintiffs elevated the matter by way of a
petition for certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Cebu City. On January 9,
2020, the Court of Appeals issued a Resolution granting plaintiffs’ motion for
reconsideration of the earlier resolution denying their petition and ordering
Petron to file its comment on plaintiffs’ petition within 10 days. On
February 6, 2020, Petron filed a motion for reconsideration of said Resolution
which remains pending to date. In the meantime, proceedings before the trial
court continues. Less than 200 of the plaintiffs have testified so far. As of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group has not set up any provision
related to this case consistent with Petron’s position, as also advised by its
counsels, that Petron is not liable for the damages resulting from the oil spill
incident because it was only the charterer of the sunken vessel and that it
had no control or supervision over the operation of said vessel. Moreover,
the environmental damage had already been paid and settled by the
International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds where Petron makes
contribution as a member.

▪ Lease Agreements with PNOC

On October 20, 2017, Petron filed with the RTC of Mandaluyong City a
complaint against the PNOC for the reconveyance of the various
landholdings it conveyed to PNOC in 1993 as a result of the government-
mandated privatization of Petron.

The subject landholdings consist of the refinery lots in Limay, Bataan, 23 bulk
plant sites and 66 service station lots located in different parts of the country.
The Deeds of Conveyance covering the landholdings provide that the
transfer of these lots to PNOC was without prejudice to the continued long-
term use by Petron of the conveyed lots for its business operation. Thus,
PNOC and Petron executed three lease agreements covering the refinery
lots, the bulk plants, and the service station sites, all with an initial lease term
of 25 years which expired in August 2018, with a provision for automatic
renewal for another 25 years. In 2009, Petron, through its realty subsidiary,
NVRC, had an early renewal of the lease agreement for the refinery lots with
an initial lease term of 30 years, renewable for another 25 years.

- 234 -
The complaint alleges that PNOC committed a fundamental breach of the
lease agreements when it refused to honor both the automatic renewal
clause in the lease agreements for the bulk plants and the service station
sites and the renewed lease agreement for the refinery lots on the alleged
ground that all such lease agreements were grossly disadvantageous to
PNOC, a government-owned-and-controlled corporation.

On December 11, 2017, the trial court granted Petron’s prayer for a writ of
preliminary injunction, enjoining PNOC from committing any act aimed at
ousting Petron from possession of the subject properties until the case is
decided.

The court-mandated mediation was terminated on February 5, 2018 without


any agreement between the parties. The judicial dispute resolution
proceedings before the court were likewise terminated on March 28, 2019,
after the parties failed to agree to a settlement. Without prejudice to any
further discussion between the parties regarding settlement, the case was
remanded to the trial court for trial proper, with the pre-trial held on
September 10, 2019. Petron also filed a motion for summary judgment on
May 17, 2019. In a resolution dated November 13, 2019, the trial court
granted Petron’s motion for summary judgment and ordered: (i) the
rescission of the Deeds of Conveyance dated 1993 relating to Petron’s
conveyance of such leased premises to PNOC pursuant to a property
dividend declaration in 1993, (ii) the reconveyance by PNOC to Petron of all
such properties, and (iii) the payment by Petron to PNOC of the amount of
P143, with legal interest from 1993, representing the book value of the
litigated properties at the time of the property dividend declaration. PNOC
filed a motion for reconsideration. Petron also filed a motion for partial
reconsideration seeking a modification of the judgment to include an order
directing PNOC to return to Petron all lease payments the latter had paid to
PNOC since 1993.

Following the trial court’s denial of their separate motions for reconsideration,
both PNOC and Petron filed their respective notices of appeal with the trial
court. The case was raffled off to the 5th Division of the Court of Appeals.
Petron filed its appellant’s brief in October 2020. PNOC filed its appellant’s
brief in November 2020. In a decision dated December 13, 2021, the Court of
Appeals dismissed both appeals of Petron and PNOC and affirmed the
resolution of the trial court as described above. The Court of Appeals upheld
Petron’s position that PNOC committed a substantial breach of its contractual
obligation under the lease agreements when it dishonored the automatic
renewal clause in the lease agreements and threatened to terminate Petron’s
lease thereby depriving Petron a long-term lease consistent with its business
requirements, which was the primordial consideration in the Deeds of
Conveyance. The Court of Appeals ruled, however, that, consistent with
jurisprudence, while rescission repeals the contract from its inception, it does
not disregard all the consequences that the contract has created and that it
was therefore only proper that Petron paid PNOC the rentals for the use and
enjoyment of the properties which PNOC could have enjoyed by virtue of the
Deeds of Conveyance were it not for the lease agreements. On January 11,
2022, Petron filed its motion for reconsideration insofar as the decision
dismissed Petron’s appeal to return the lease payments made by it to PNOC.
PNOC also filed its own motion for reconsideration. In a resolution
promulgated on October 6, 2022, the Court of Appeals denied the respective
motions for reconsideration of Petron and PNOC. In consideration of the
possible delay in the final resolution of the case if Petron were to proceed
with the filing of a petition for review with the Supreme Court on the issue of

- 235 -
rental payments it seeks to recover and the decision in favor of Petron on the
rescission of the Deeds of Conveyance and the reconveyance to it of the
properties that has been affirmed by the Court of Appeals, Petron has
decided to no longer pursue a petition for review with the Supreme Court.
The PNOC filed a petition for review on certiorari with the Supreme Court in
early December 2022. As of December 31, 2022, Petron is awaiting orders
from the Supreme Court.

▪ Generation Payments to PSALM

SPPC and PSALM are parties to the Ilijan IPPA Agreement covering the
appointment of SPPC as the IPP Administrator of the Ilijan Power Plant.

SPPC and PSALM have an ongoing dispute arising from differing


interpretations of certain provisions related to generation payments under the
Ilijan IPPA Agreement. As a result of such dispute, the parties have arrived at
different computations regarding the subject payments. In a letter dated
August 6, 2015, PSALM has demanded payment of the difference between
the generation payments calculated based on its interpretation and the
amount which has already been paid by SPPC, plus interest, covering the
period December 26, 2012 to April 25, 2015.

On August 12, 2015, SPPC initiated a dispute resolution process with


PSALM as provided under the terms of the Ilijan IPPA Agreement, while
continuing to maintain that it has fully paid all of its obligations to PSALM.
Notwithstanding the bona fide dispute, PSALM issued a notice terminating
the Ilijan IPPA Agreement on September 4, 2015. On the same day, PSALM
also called on the performance bond posted by SPPC pursuant to the Ilijan
IPPA Agreement.

On September 8, 2015, SPPC filed a Complaint with the RTC of


Mandaluyong City requesting the RTC that its interpretation of the relevant
provisions of the Ilijan IPPA Agreement be upheld and asked that a 72-hour
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) be issued against PSALM for illegally
terminating the Ilijan IPPA Agreement and drawing on the performance bond
of SPPC. On even date, the RTC issued a 72-hour TRO which prohibited
PSALM from treating SPPC as being in Administrator Default and from
performing other acts that would change the status quo ante between the
parties before PSALM issued the termination notice and drew on the
performance bond of SPPC. The TRO was extended for until September 28,
2015.

On September 28, 2015, the RTC issued an order granting a Preliminary


Injunction enjoining PSALM from proceeding with the termination of the Ilijan
IPPA Agreement while the main case is pending. PSALM sought for
reconsideration of the said order but was later on denied by the RTC.

PSALM filed with the Court of Appeals a Petition for Review on Certiorari
assailing the RTC’s order of denial. The Court of Appeals ruled in favor of
SPPC and affirmed the RTC’s issuance of a writ of preliminary injunction
against PSALM prohibiting it from terminating the Ilijan IPPA Agreement
while the main case in the lower court is pending and named Meralco as
intervenor (the “2017 CA Decision”).

PSALM filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the 2017 CA Decision but it was
denied by the Court of Appeals in its resolution dated July 12, 2018 (the
“2018 CA Resolution”).

- 236 -
On September 4, 2018, PSALM filed a Petition for Certiorari with urgent
prayer for the issuance of a TRO and/or Writ of Preliminary Injunction before
the Supreme Court praying for the reversal and nullification of the 2017 CA
Decision and the 2018 CA Resolution but was denied by the Supreme Court
in its resolution dated March 4, 2019 (the “March 4, 2019 SC Resolution”).
PSALM filed a Motion for Reconsideration thereof and was denied by the
Supreme Court in a resolution dated August 5, 2019 which became final and
executory on the same date.

Prior to the CA Decision, on December 18, 2017, the presiding judge of the
RTC who conducted the judicial dispute resolution issued an order inhibiting
himself from the instant case. The case was then re-raffled to another RTC
judge in Mandaluyong City.

SPPC filed a Motion for Production of Documents on February 28, 2018,


while PSALM filed its Manifestation with Motion to Hear Affirmative Defenses
and Objections Ad Cautelam.

On September 24, 2018, the RTC issued an order denying PSALM’s Motion
to Hear Affirmative Defense and granted SPPC’s Motion for Production of
Documents. In an order dated April 29, 2019, the RTC denied the Motion for
Reconsideration filed by PSALM on the basis that it found no strong and
compelling reason to modify, much less reverse, its order dated
September 24, 2018.

On July 26, 2019, PSALM filed a Petition for Certiorari with Urgent Prayer for
the Issuance of a TRO and/or Writ of Preliminary Injunction with the Court of
Appeals, seeking the reversal of the orders of the RTC dated September 24,
2018 and April 29, 2019 (CA-G.R. SP No. 161706). In compliance with the
Court of Appeal’s directive, PSALM filed an Amended Petition on April 29,
2019 (the “PSALM 2019 CA Petition”).

On April 7, 2022, the Court of Appeals promulgated a Decision dismissing


the PSALM 2019 CA Petition (the “April 7, 2022 CA Decision”). PSALM filed
a Motion for Reconsideration dated April 29, 2022. SPPC filed a Motion for
Leave to File Opposition to the Motion for Reconsideration with an
Opposition to the said Motion for Reconsideration on July 15, 2022.

In a Resolution dated October 4, 2022, the Court of Appeals denied


PSALM’s motion for reconsideration of the April 7, 2022 CA Decision (the
“October 4, 2022 CA Resolution”).

On December 1, 2022, PSALM filed a Petition for Review on Certiorari with


the Supreme Court, appealing the April 7, 2022 CA Decision denying its
petition for certiorari and October 4, 2022 CA Resolution denying its motion
for reconsideration. The Petition for Review has been docketed as G. R. No.
263773. SPPC has not yet received a directive to file a Comment on the
petition.

In January 2020, PSALM also filed with the RTC a Motion Ad Cautelam to
Lift or Dissolve the Writ of Preliminary Injunction with Application to File
Counterbond. SPPC filed its opposition to this motion in March 2020.

- 237 -
On May 26, 2020, SPPC filed a Supplemental Opposition to PSALM’s Motion
Ad Cautelam to Lift or Dissolve the Writ of Preliminary Injunction citing
SPPC’s letter dated March 6, 2020 informing PSALM of its intention to
advance the full settlement of the Monthly Payments due for the period
March 26, 2020 until the end of the IPPA Agreement on June 26, 2022.
SPPC stated that given this intention, PSALM can no longer assert that it
stands to suffer injury in the form of reduction in expected cash or that the
Government would be exposed to financial risk.

PSALM also filed several other pleadings: (1) Urgent Ex-Parte Motion for
Early Resolution of its Motion for Leave to File Amended Answer Ad
Cautelam dated May 28, 2020; (2) Motion for Reconsideration of the RTC
Order of February 14, 2020, which did not allow PSALM to present witnesses
in support of its Motion to Dissolve the Writ of Preliminary Injunction and
directed the parties to submit pleadings and documents in support of their
respective positions; and (3) Reply to SPPC’s Opposition to its Motion to
Dissolve the Writ of Preliminary Injunction. SPPC filed a Motion for Leave to
File Consolidated Rejoinder with Consolidated Rejoinder dated
September 14, 2020 to PSALM’s Reply to Opposition to the Motion to
Dissolve.

In an Order dated November 27, 2020, the RTC denied PSALM’s Motion for
Leave to File Amended Answer Ad Cautelam (the “November 27, 2020 RTC
Order”). On January 15, 2021, SPPC filed a Motion for Summary Judgment,
praying that judgment be rendered in favor of SPPC on all its causes of
action based on the pleadings, affidavits, and admissions on file. On
January 29, 2021 PSALM filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the
November 27, 2020 RTC Order.

In an Order dated March 23, 2021 (the “March 23, 2021 RTC Order”), the
RTC denied PSALM’s Motion for Reconsideration of the November 27, 2020
RTC Order. In the same Order, the RTC also denied SPPC’s Motion for
Summary Judgment and referred the case to mediation.

On May 21, 2021, SPPC filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the March 23,
2021 RTC Order. PSALM filed an Opposition to the Motion for
Reconsideration and SPPC filed a Motion for Leave to File a Reply to the
Opposition with an incorporated Reply.

In June 2021, PSALM also filed a Petition for Certiorari under Rule 65 of the
rules of Court to annul the November 27, 2020 RTC Order and the March 23,
2021 RTC Order with the Court of Appeals, which was denied by the Court of
Appeals in its Decision dated May 30, 2022 (the “May 30, 2022 CA
Decision”).

On October 3, 2022, the Court of Appeals promulgated a Resolution denying


PSALM’s Motion for Reconsideration of the May 30, 2022 Decision (the
“October 3, 2022 CA Resolution”).

After moving for an extension of time, on November 26, 2022, PSALM filed a
Petition for Review on Certiorari with the Supreme Court, appealing the
May 30, 2022 CA Decision and October 3, 2022 CA Resolution. The petition
for review has been docketed as G. R. No. 263774. SPPC has not yet
received a directive to file a Comment on the petition.

- 238 -
The mediation scheduled on April 19, 2021 did not push through, in view of
the restrictions imposed by the enhanced community quarantine and
modified enhanced community quarantine.

In an Order dated May 18, 2021, the RTC recalled the portion of the
March 23, 2021 RTC Order, where it set the case for mediation, given that
the parties have already exhausted both court-annexed mediation and
judicial dispute resolution and scheduled the pre-trial of the case on June 18,
2021, which was however cancelled.

On September 13, 2021, the RTC denied SPPC’s Motion for Partial
Reconsideration of the March 23, 2021 RTC Order and scheduled the pre-
trail of the case on November 19, 2021. Pre-trial proceeded on
November 19, 2021 and the parties filed the Joint Stipulation of Facts on
April 6, 2022.

SPPC filed a Motion to Amend Pre-trial Order and Minutes of the Pre-trial
issued by the RTC on April 7, 2022, which was later granted by the RTC on
May 20, 2022 The RTC accordingly issued an Amended Pre-trial Order.

SPPC presented its first witness on July 29, 2022 and its second witness on
November 11, 2022. Comparison and pre-marking of documents were
conducted on January 20, 2023. Trial will resume on April 14, 2023 for the
cross-examination of SPPC’s second witness.

Related to the foregoing, in a Resolution dated December 7, 2021, the RTC


denied PSALM’s Motion Ad Cautelam to Lift or Dissolve the Writ of
Preliminary Injunction on the grounds that: (a) the arguments in the Motion
had been previously denied with finality by the RTC, Court of Appeals, and
Supreme Court and the propriety of the issuance of the writ of preliminary
injunction in favor of SPPC “should be considered a settled matter, so long
as the facts and circumstances upon which the writ was issued still continue
to exist”; (b) “PSALM cannot substantiate its contentions that the continuance
of the preliminary injunction would cause it damage or that SPPC can be fully
compensated for such damages as it may suffer”; and (c) the counter-bond
offered by PSALM would be inadequate to answer for the damages that
SPPC might sustain as a result of the lifting of the preliminary injunction.

In an Order dated February 17, 2022, the RTC denied PSALM’s Motion for
Reconsideration of the Resolution of December 7, 2021 for failing to raise
any new or substantial ground.

PSALM filed a Petition for Certiorari dated May 13, 2022, assailing the RTC’s
Resolution of December 7, 2021 and Order of February 17, 2022 for
allegedly having been rendered with grave abuse of discretion. On
October 14, 2022, SPPC filed its Comment on the petition. In a Resolution
dated February 23, 2023, the Court of Appeals noted that PSALM did not file
a Reply to SPPC’s Comment thus deemed the petition as submitted for
decision.

Although the proceedings before the RTC remain pending, the Ilijan Power
Plant was turned over by PSALM to SPPC pursuant IPPA Agreement and
the Deed of Sale executed between PSALM and SPPC on June 3, 2022.

▪ Intellectual Property Rights

i. G.R. No. 196372: This case pertains to GSMI’s application for the
registration of the trademark “GINEBRA” under Class 33 covering gin
with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL). The
IPOPHL rejected GSMI’s application on the ground that “GINEBRA” is a
Spanish word for gin, and is a generic term incapable of appropriation.

When the Court of Appeals affirmed the IPOPHL’s ruling, GSMI filed a
Petition for Review on Certiorari (the Petition) with the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court denied GSMI’s Petition. GSMI moved for a
reconsideration thereof, and likewise filed a Motion to Refer its Motion for
Reconsideration to the Supreme Court En Banc. The Supreme Court
denied GSMI’s Motion for Reconsideration with finality, as well as GSMI’s
Motion to Refer to its Motion for Reconsideration to the Supreme Court
En Banc.

Subsequently, GSMI filed a Manifestation with Motion for Relief from


Judgment (the “Manifestation”) and invoked the case of “League of Cities
vs. Commission of Elections” (G.R. Nos. 176951, 177499 and 178056) to
invite the Supreme Court En Banc to re-examine the case. The Office of
the Solicitor General filed its Comment Opposition to the Manifestation.

On June 26, 2018, the Supreme Court En Banc issued a Resolution


which resolves to: (a) Accept the subject case which was referred to it by
the Third Division in the latter’s resolution dated August 7, 2017; (b) Treat
as a Second Motion for Reconsideration (of the resolution dated June 22,
2011) GSMI’s Manifestation with Motion for Relief from Judgment dated
November 28, 2011; (c) Reinstate the Petition; and (d) Require the
respondents to Comment on the Petition within a non-extendible period
of ten (10) days from notice thereof.

Respondents, through the OSG, filed their Comment dated July 31, 2018
while GSMI filed its Reply with Leave on August 20, 2018.

On January 4, 2019, the Supreme Court Third Division issued a


Resolution ordering the consolidation of the previously consolidated
cases (G.R Nos. 216104, 210224 and 219632) with the En Banc case
(G.R. No. 196372), stating that “considering that all these cases involve
identical parties and raise interrelated issues which ultimately stemmed
from the registration of trademark of [TDI] and [GSMI] before the [IPO].”

On February 3, 2020, GSMI filed a Manifestation with the Supreme Court


Third Division, informing the Court that on January 27, 2020, it received a
copy of a Decision dated December 27, 2019 rendered by the IPO
Director General in the consolidated appealed cases involving GSMI’s
Oppositions to TDI’s applications for the registration of the marks
“Ginebra Lime & Device,” “Ginebra Orange & Device,” “Ginebra Especial
& Device” and “Ginebra Pomelo & Device”, for use on gin products. In
the joint Decision, the IPO Director General ruled in favor of GSMI and
held that despite being generic or descriptive, the term “GINEBRA” had
already attained a secondary meaning in relation to the gin products of
GSMI. The Manifestation was filed to inform the Supreme Court Third
Division of the status of cases in IPOPHL which involve GSMI’s claim
over “GINEBRA”.

- 240 -
In a Resolution dated March 10, 2020, the Supreme Court En Banc
resolved to transfer the consolidated cases from the Third Division to the
En Banc, where this case which has the lowest docket number, i.e. G.R.
No. 196372, was originally assigned, hence, all four cases are now
consolidated and pending before the Supreme Court En Banc.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court En Banc also noted GSMI’s
Manifestation dated February 3, 2020 on the IPO Director General’s
Decision dated December 27, 2019.

On August 9, 2022, the Supreme Court En Banc promulgated a Decision


in the four consolidated Petitions. For G.R. No. 196372, GSMI’s Petition
for Review was granted. The Director of the Bureau of Trademarks was
directed to reinstate GSMI’s trademark application for “GINEBRA”, cause
its publication and give it due course.

ii. G.R. Nos. 210224 and 219632: These cases pertain to GSMI’s
Complaint for Unfair Competition, Trademark Infringement and Damages
against Tanduay Distillers, Inc. (TDI) filed with the RTC, arising from
TDI’s distribution and sale of its gin product bearing the trademark
“Ginebra Kapitan” and use of a bottle design, which general appearance
was nearly identical and confusingly similar to GSMI’s product. The RTC
dismissed GSMI’s complaint.

When GSMI elevated the case to the Court of Appeals, due to


technicalities, two cases were lodged in the Court of Appeals: 1.) Petition
for Review (CA-G.R. SP No. 127255), and 2.) Appeal (CA-G.R. SP
No. 100332).

Acting on GSMI’s Petition for Review, the Court of Appeals reversed, set
aside the RTC’s Decision, and ruled that “GINEBRA” is associated by the
consuming public with GSMI. Giving probative value to the surveys
submitted by GSMI, the Court of Appeals ruled that TDI’s use of
“GINEBRA” in “Ginebra Kapitan” produces a likelihood of confusion
between GSMI’s “Ginebra San Miguel” gin product and TDI’s “Ginebra
Kapitan” gin product. The Court of Appeals likewise ruled that “TDI knew
fully well that GSMI has been using the mark/word “GINEBRA” in its gin
products and that GSMI’s “Ginebra San Miguel” has already obtained,
over the years, a considerable number of loyal customers who associate
the mark “GINEBRA” with GSMI.

On the other hand, upon GSMI’s Appeal, the Court of Appeals also set
aside the RTC’s Decision and ruled that “GINEBRA” is not a generic
term, there being no evidence to show that an ordinary person in the
Philippines would know that “GINEBRA” is a Spanish word for “gin”.
According to the Court of Appeals, because of GSMI’s use of the term in
the Philippines since the 1800s, the term “GINEBRA” now exclusively
refers to GSMI’s gin products and to GSMI as a manufacturer. The Court
of Appeals added that “the mere use of the word ‘GINEBRA’ in “Ginebra
Kapitan” is sufficient to incite an average person, even a gin-drinker, to
associate it with GSMI’s gin product”, and that TDI “has designed its
bottle and label to somehow make a colorable similarity with the bottle
and label of Ginebra S. Miguel”.

TDI filed separate Petitions for Review on Certiorari with the Supreme
Court, docketed as G.R. Nos. 210224 and 219632, which were
eventually consolidated by the Supreme Court on April 18, 2016.

- 241 -
On October 26, 2016, GSMI filed its Comment on TDI’s Petition for
Review on Certiorari.

On December 17, 2018, the Supreme Court consolidated this case with
Ginebra San Miguel Inc. vs. Court of Appeals, Director General of the
Intellectual Property Office, and Director of the Bureau of Trademarks
(G.R. No. 196372).

On February 3, 2020, GSMI filed a Manifestation with the Supreme Court


Third Division, informing the Court that on January 27, 2020, it received a
copy of a Decision dated December 27, 2019 rendered by the IPO
Director General in the consolidated appealed cases involving GSMI’s
Oppositions to TDI’s applications for the registration of the marks
“Ginebra Lime & Device,” “Ginebra Orange & Device,” “Ginebra Especial
& Device” and “Ginebra Pomelo & Device”, for use on gin products. In
the joint Decision, the IPO Director General ruled in favor of GSMI and
held that despite being generic or descriptive, the term “GINEBRA” had
already attained a secondary meaning in relation to the gin products of
GSMI. The Manifestation was filed to inform the Supreme Court Third
Division of the status of cases in IPOPHL which involve GSMI’s claim
over “GINEBRA”.

In a Resolution dated March 10, 2020, the Supreme Court En Banc


resolved to transfer the consolidated cases from the Third Division to the
En Banc. Furthermore, the Supreme Court En Banc also noted GSMI’s
Manifestation dated February 3, 2020 on the IPO Director General’s
Decision dated December 27, 2019.

On August 9, 2022, the Supreme Court En Banc promulgated a Decision


in the four consolidated Petitions. For G.R. Nos. 210224 and 219632,
TDI’s Petitions for Review were denied, with modification, such that TDI
shall pay GSMI temperate damages of P300 and attorney’s fees of P200;
other awards of damages against TDI are deleted.

iii. G.R. No. 216104: This case pertains to TDI’s application for the
registration of the trademark “GINEBRA KAPITAN” for Class 33 covering
gin with the IPOPHL.

GSMI opposed TDI’s application, alleging that it would be damaged by


the registration of “GINEBRA KAPITAN” because the term “GINEBRA”
has acquired secondary meaning and is now exclusively associated with
GSMI’s gin products. GSMI argued that the registration of “GINEBRA
KAPITAN” for use in TDI’s gin products will confuse the public and cause
damage to GSMI. TDI countered that “GINEBRA” is generic and
incapable of exclusive appropriation, and that “GINEBRA KAPITAN” is
not identical or confusingly similar to GSMI’s mark.

The IPOPHL ruled in favor of TDI and held that: (a) “GINEBRA” is
generic for “gin”; (b) GSMI’s products are too well known for the
purchasing public to be deceived by a new product like “GINEBRA
KAPITAN”; and (c) TDI’s use of “GINEBRA” would supposedly stimulate
market competition.

- 242 -
On July 23, 2014, the Court of Appeals reversed and set aside the
IPOPHL’s ruling and disapproved the registration of “GINEBRA
KAPITAN”. The Court of Appeals ruled that “GINEBRA” could not be
considered as a generic word in the Philippines considering that, to the
Filipino gin-drinking public, it does not relate to a class of liquor/alcohol
but rather has come to refer specifically and exclusively to the gin
products of GSMI.

TDI filed a Petition for Review on Certiorari with the Supreme Court,
which was subsequently consolidated with the case of “Tanduay
Distillers, Inc. vs. Ginebra San Miguel Inc.”, docketed as G.R.
No. 210224 on August 5, 2015.

On October 26, 2016, GSMI filed its Comment on TDI’s Petition for
Review on Certiorari.

On December 17, 2018, the Supreme Court consolidated this case with
Ginebra San Miguel Inc. vs. Court of Appeals, Director General of the
Intellectual Property Office, and Director of the Bureau of Trademarks
(G.R. No. 196372).

On February 3, 2020, GSMI filed a Manifestation with the Supreme Court


Third Division, informing the Court that on January 27, 2020, it received a
copy of a Decision dated December 27, 2019 rendered by the IPO
Director General in the consolidated appealed cases involving GSMI’s
Oppositions to TDI’s applications for the registration of the marks
“Ginebra Lime & Device,” “Ginebra Orange & Device,” “Ginebra Especial
& Device” and “Ginebra Pomelo & Device”, for use on gin products. In
the joint Decision, the IPO Director General ruled in favor of GSMI and
held that despite being generic or descriptive, the term “GINEBRA” had
already attained a secondary meaning in relation to the gin products of
GSMI. The Manifestation was filed to inform the Supreme Court Third
Division of the status of cases in IPOPHL which involve GSMI’s claim
over “GINEBRA”.

In a Resolution dated March 10, 2020, the Supreme Court En Banc


resolved to transfer the consolidated cases from the Third Division to the
En Banc. Furthermore, the Supreme Court En Banc also noted GSMI’s
Manifestation dated February 3, 2020 on the IPO Director General’s
Decision dated December 27, 2019.

On August 9, 2022, the Supreme Court En Banc promulgated a Decision


in the four consolidated Petitions. For G.R. No. 216104, TDI’s Petition for
Review for the rejection of TDI’s trademark application for “GINEBRA
KAPITAN” was denied.

▪ Imported Industrial Fuel Oil

SLHBTC has an on-going case with the CTA against the Commissioner of
Customs (the Commissioner). On January 16, 2016, a Warrant of Seizure
and Detention was issued against the 44,000 metric tons of fuel imported by
SLHBTC with approximate value of P751. The Commissioner alleged that
SLHBTC discharged fuel directly from the vessel carrying SLHBTC’s
imported fuel to another vessel via loop loading without paying duties and
taxes and therefore, violating the Customs Modernization Tariff Act and other
customs regulations. On January 20, 2017, the District Collector of Customs
issued a decision forfeiting the fuel in favor of the government.

Subsequently, SLHBTC filed with the CTA a petition seeking the lifting and
termination of the Warrant of Seizure and Detention and the reversal of the
decision issued by the District Collector of Customs.

On April 19, 2017, SLHBTC filed with the CTA a Motion for Special Order to
release the 44,000 metric tons of fuel, which was granted on
January 28, 2018 subject to the posting of a surety bond amounting to P123
or one and one-half times of the assessed amount of P82 representing VAT.
SLHBTC posted the surety bond and the 44,000 metric tons of fuel were
released.

On September 18, 2018, a pre-trial conference was conducted.

However, by Order dated September 25, 2018, the case was transferred to
the CTA First Division.

The latest court hearing for the presentation of evidence was made in
February 2020.

On December 1, 2020, the customs officer representing the District Collector


of Customs was cross-examined by the SLHBTC legal counsel. He admitted
that he did not examine the imported documents prior to recommending the
issuance of a Writ of Seizure and Detention.

On February 2021, the case was deemed submitted for decision. As at the
reporting date, the case is still pending decision with the CTA.

On February 24, 2022, the Petition for Review filed by SLHBTC in March
2017 was granted by the CTA. Accordingly, the Warrant of Seizure and
Detention was lifted, and the decision issued by the District Collector of
Customs in January 2017 was reversed and set aside. In addition, the order
granted by the CTA in January 2018 to release the 44,000 metric tons of fuel
is now permanent and the surety bond of P123 shall be released and
discharged upon finality of judgement.

On November 8, 2022, the CTA En Banc is still completing the technical


requirements of the Bureau of Custom’s petition.

SLHBTC and its legal counsel assessed that it has a meritorious case and
the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the SLHBTC’s
business financial condition and results of operations.

▪ Criminal Cases

SPPC

On September 29, 2015, SPPC filed a criminal complaint for estafa and for
violation of Section 3(e) of RA No. 3019, otherwise known as the Anti-Graft
and Corrupt Practices Act, before the DOJ, against certain officers of
PSALM, in connection with the termination of SPPC’s Ilijan’s IPPA
Agreement, which was made by PSALM with manifest partially and evident
bad faith. Further, it was alleged that PSALM fraudulently misrepresented its
entitlement to draw on the performance bond posted by SPPC, resulting in
actual injury to SPPC in the amount US$60. On June 13, 2017, the DOJ
endorsed the complete records of the complaint to the Office of the
Ombudsman for appropriate action.

On a related matter, on November 14, 2018, SPPC filed with the Office of the
Ombudsman-Field Investigation Office, an administrative complaint against
an executive officer of PSALM and several unidentified persons for violation
of the Ombudsman Act and the Revised Administrative Code, in the
performance of their functions as public officers.

In a Resolution dated March 10, 2021, which was approved by the


Ombudsman on February 15, 2022, the Graft Investigation and Prosecution
Officer (“GIPO”) dismissed the criminal complaint against the Respondents.
In a Decision of the same date, approved by the Ombudsman also on
February 15, 2022, the GIPO also dismissed the administrative complaint
against the Respondents.

On March 21, 2022, SPPC filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the


resolution dismissing the criminal complaint.

SPI

On October 21, 2015, SPI filed a criminal complaint for Plunder and violation
of Section 3(e) and 3(f) of RA No. 3019, before the DOJ against a certain
officer of PSALM, and certain officers of TPEC and TSC, relating to the
illegal grant of the so-called “excess capacity” of the Sual Power Plant in
favor of TPEC which enabled it to receive a certain amount at the expense of
the Government and SPI.

In a Resolution dated July 29, 2016, the DOJ found probable cause to file an
Information against the respondents for Plunder and violation of Section 3(e)
and 3(f) of RA No. 3019 (the “July 29, 2016 DOJ Resolution”). The DOJ
further resolved to forward the entire records of the case to the Office of the
Ombudsman for their proper action. Respondents have respectively
appealed said DOJ’s Resolution of July 29, 2016 DOJ Resolution, through
the filing of a Petition for Review with the Secretary of Justice.

On October 25, 2017, the DOJ issued a Resolution partially granting the
Petition for Review by reversing the July 29, 2016 DOJ Resolution insofar as
the conduct of the preliminary investigation. On November 17, 2017, SPI filed
a motion for partial reconsideration of said October 25, 2017 DOJ Resolution
dated October 25, 2017.

- 245 -
While the said Motion for Partial Reconsideration is pending, SPI and the
Respondents filed before the DOJ a Joint Motion to Dismiss dated June 6,
2022 praying for the dismissal of the criminal complaint filed by SPI. The
Joint Motion to Dismiss remains pending as of date.

▪ Civil Case

On June 17, 2016, SPI filed with the RTC Pasig a civil complaint for
consignation against PSALM arising from PSALM’s refusal to accept SPI’s
remittances corresponding to the proceeds of the sale on the WESM for
electricity generated from capacity in excess of the 1,000 MW of the Sual
Power Plant (“Sale of the Excess Capacity”). With the filing of the complaint,
SPI also consigned with the RTC Pasig, the amount corresponding to the
proceeds of the Sale of the Excess Capacity for the billing periods
December 26, 2015 to April 25, 2016.

PSALM filed an Answer dated August 17, 2016 stating that it has no right to,
and is not the owner of, the proceeds of the sale on the WESM of electricity
generated from the capacity in excess of 1,000 MW of the Sual Plant and
that “the consignation should belong to TPEC as it is rightfully entitled to the
200 MW and to the payments which SPI made consequent therewith.”

On October 3, 2016, SPI filed an Omnibus Motion to Admit Supplemental


Complaint and to Allow Future Consignation without Tender (the “Omnibus
Motion”). Together with this Omnibus Motion, SPI consigned with the RTC
Pasig an additional amount corresponding to the proceeds of the Sale of the
Excess Capacity for the billing periods from April 26, 2016 to July 25, 2016.

On July 5, 2017, SPI consigned with the RTC Pasig the amount representing
additional proceeds of Sale of the Excess Capacity for the billing period
July 26, 2016 to August 25, 2016. SPI also filed a Motion to Admit Second
Supplemental Complaint in relation to said consignation.

On May 22, 2018, the RTC Pasig issued an order dismissing the complaint
for consignation filed by SPI on the ground that the court has no jurisdiction
over the subject matter of the complaint and finding that the ERC has the
technical competence to determine the proper interpretation of “contracted
capacity”, the fairness of the settlement formula and the legality of the
memorandum of agreement.

On July 4, 2018, SPI filed its Motion for Reconsideration to the


May 22, 2018 order which dismissed the consignation case. The Motion for
Reconsideration was heard on July 13, 2018 where the parties were given
time to file their responsive pleadings. PSALM filed its Comment dated
July 26, 2018 to the Motion for Reconsideration and SPI filed its Reply to
PSALM’s Comment on August 13, 2018.

In an Order dated November 19, 2019, the presiding judge voluntarily


inhibited herself from further hearing the case.

On December 13, 2019, the case was re-raffled to Branch 268. On


February 7, 2020, a clarificatory hearing was held and Branch 268 noted the
pending incidents, which are: (a) SPI’s Motion for Partial Reconsideration
and Supplemental Motion for Reconsideration of the Order dated May 22,
2018; (b) SPI’s two Motions to Admit Supplemental Complaint; and
(c) PSALM’s Motion to Set Preliminary Hearing on the Special and
Affirmative Defenses.

- 246 -
In an Order dated September 30, 2021, the RTC Branch 268: (a) granted
SPI’s Motion for Reconsideration of the Order of May 22, 2018, which
dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction; (b) granted SPI’s Omnibus Motion
to Admit Supplemental Complaint and Allow Future Consignations without
Tender; and (c) reinstated the Complaint (the “September 30, 2021 Order”).

RTC Branch 268 scheduled the pre-trial on December 13, 2021 but the pre-
trial was postponed because PSALM filed an Omnibus Motion for
Reconsideration of the September 30, 2021 Order and to Resolve Pending
Motion to Set Preliminary Hearing on Special and Affirmative Defenses, and
to Defer Pre-trial (sic). SPI has already filed an Opposition to the Omnibus
Motion.

In an Order dated May 30, 2022, RTC Branch 268 denied PSALM’s Omnibus
Motion for Reconsideration of the September 30, 2021 Order and to Resolve
Pending Motion to Set Preliminary Hearing on Special and Affirmative
Defenses, and to Defer Pre-trial (sic). In the same Order, RTC Pasig Branch
268 set the pre-trial on August 1, 2022. SPI and PSALM filed a Joint Motion
to Re-Set Pre-trial Conference on the ground that the parties are negotiating
for an amicable settlement. RTC Pasig Branch 268 granted the Joint Motion
and scheduled the resumption on September 1, 2022, in the event that the
parties do not reach an amicable settlement.

The parties filed a Second Joint Motion to Reset Pre-trial Conference as they
were still negotiating an amicable settlement.

On October 5, 2022, SPPC and PSALM filed an Omnibus Motion to Dismiss


and Release Deposited Monies, whereby PSALM, consistent with its
representation and acknowledgment in its Answer that the consigned
amounts rightfully belong to TPEC, agreed to the release of the said amounts
to TPEC and SPI, relying on PSALM’s representation and acknowledgment,
did not object to the release of the consigned amounts to TPEC.

On October 10, 2022, the RTC issued an Order granting the Omnibus Motion
and authorized TPEC’s named representative in the Omnibus Motion to
withdraw the consigned amounts.

Further related thereto, on December 1, 2016, SPI received a copy of a


Complaint filed by TPEC and TSC with the ERC against SPI and PSALM in
relation to the Excess Capacity issues, which issues have already been
raised in the abovementioned cases. SPI filed a Motion to Dismiss and
Motion to Suspend Proceeding of the instant case.

On June 6, 2022, SPI, TPEC and TSC filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss the
ERC complaint. SPI received the Order from the ERC on June 22, 2022,
asking the parties to submit a copy of the settlement agreement within five
days from receipt of such order. TPEC, TEAM and SPI filed with the ERC a
Compliance and Submission attaching the settlement agreement on
June 28, 2022.

As at December 31, 2021, the total amount consigned with the RTC Pasig
was P491, included under “Other noncurrent assets”, particularly “Restricted
cash” account, in the consolidated statements of financial position (Note 18).

▪ TRO Issued to Meralco

SPI, SPPC, SRHI, MPPCL and other generation companies were impleaded
as parties to a Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition with prayer for TRO
and/or Preliminary Injunction (“Petition”) filed in the Supreme Court by
special interest groups which sought to stop the imposition of the increase in
generation charge of Meralco for the November 2013 billing month. The
approval of the ERC in its December 9, 2013 order on the staggered
imposition by Meralco of its generation rate for November 2013 from its
consumers (the “December 9, 2013 ERC Order”) prompted the filing of these
consolidated petitions. On December 23, 2013, the Supreme Court issued a
TRO ordering Meralco not to collect, and the generators not to demand
payment, for the increase in generation charge for the November 2013 billing
month. As a result, Meralco was constrained to fix its generation rate to its
October 2013 level of P5.67/kWh. Claiming that since the power supplied by
generators is billed to Meralco’s customers on a pass-through basis, Meralco
deferred a portion of its payment on the ground that it was not able to collect
the full amount of its generation cost. The TRO was originally for a period of
60 days.

On January 8, 2014, Meralco filed its Consolidated Comment/Opposition with


Counter-Petition (“Counter-Petition”) which prayed, among others, for the
inclusion of SPI, SPPC, SRHI, MPPCL and several generators as
respondents to the case. On January 10, 2014, the Supreme Court issued an
order treating the Counter-Petition as in the nature of a third party complaint
and granting the prayer to include SPI, SPPC, SRHI and MPPCL as
respondents in the Petition.

On February 18, 2014, the Supreme Court extended the TRO issued on
December 23, 2013 for another 60 days or until April 22, 2014 and granted
additional TROs enjoining PEMC and the generators from demanding and
collecting the deferred amounts. In a resolution dated April 22, 2014, the
Supreme Court extended indefinitely the effectivity of the TROs issued on
December 23, 2013 and February 18, 2014.

In the Petition filed by special interest groups, the Supreme Court was made
aware of the order of the ERC dated March 3, 2014 (the “March 3, 2014 ERC
Order”) (as defined and discussed under “ERC Order Voiding WESM
Prices”), in which the ERC declared void the WESM prices during the
November and December 2013 supply months and imposed regulated prices
in their stead. The March 3, 2014 ERC Order likewise directed PEMC to:
(a) calculate these “regulated prices” based on a formula identified by the
ERC as representative of 2013 market prices under normalized conditions
and (b) to collect the same from the WESM participants involved.

A decision was promulgated by the Supreme Court En Banc on


August 3, 2021 (the “SC Decision”) affirming the December 9, 2013 ERC
Order which approved the staggered imposition by Meralco of its generation
rate for November 2013 from its consumers and declared as null and void
the March 3, 2014 ERC Order. SPI, SPPC, and SRHI however received a
copy of the SC Decision through their counsels only on July 5, 2022, while
MPPCL received the same on July 6, 2022.

- 248 -
On July 26, 2022, the special interest groups sought reconsideration of the
SC Decision by filing separate Motions for Reconsideration where they
prayed that the Supreme Court Petition be granted. The ERC likewise filed a
Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the SC Decision and sought the
reinstatement of the March 3, 2014 ERC Order, among others.

These motions were denied with finality by the Supreme Court En Banc, in its
resolution dated October 11, 2022, which also directed the entry of judgment
of the SC Decision be made immediately. SPI, SPPC and SRHI on
January 4, 2023, while MPPCL on January 5, 2023, received a copy of the
Entry of Judgement from the Supreme Court En Banc dated October 11,
2022.

With this, the relevant subsidiaries namely, SPPC, MPPCL and SPI intend to
discuss with Meralco the implementation of the Supreme Court Decision.
SPPC, MPPCL and SPI have aggregate outstanding receivables from
Meralco estimated at P1,276 included under “Trade and other receivables -
net” account in the consolidated statements of financial position as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021.

▪ ERC Order Voiding WESM Prices

Relative to the above-cited Petition, on December 27, 2013, the DOE, ERC,
and PEMC, acting as a tripartite committee, issued a joint resolution setting a
reduced price cap on the WESM of P32/kWh. The price was set to be
effective for 90 days until a new cap is decided upon.

On March 3, 2014, the ERC, in the exercise of its police power, issued an
order in Miscellaneous Case No. 2014-021, declaring the November and
December 2013 Luzon WESM prices void, imposed the application of
regulated prices and mandated PEMC, the operator of the WESM, to
calculate and issue adjustment bills using recalculated prices (the “March 3,
2014 ERC Order”).

Subsequent orders were issued by the ERC setting the period for compliance
of the March 3, 2014 ERC Order (collectively, the “2014 ERC Orders”).
Based on these orders, SPI and SRHI recognized a reduction in the sale of
power while MPPCL, SMELC and SPPC recognized a reduction in its power
purchases. Consequently, a payable and receivable were also recognized for
the portion of over-collection or over-payment, the settlement of which have
been covered by a 24-month Special Payment Arrangement with PEMC
which was already completed on May 25, 2016.

SPI, SPPC, SRHI and MPPCL filed various pleadings requesting ERC for the
reconsideration of the March 3, 2014 Order. Other generators also requested
the Supreme Court to stop the implementation of the March 3, 2014 ERC
Order. The ERC denied the motions for reconsideration filed by the
generators.

On June 26, 2014, SPI, SPPC and SRHI, while on December 12, 2014,
MPPCL appealed the said ERC denial before the Court of Appeals through
their respective Petitions for Review.

- 249 -
After consolidating the cases, the Court of Appeals, in its decision dated
November 7, 2017 (the “November 7, 2017 Decision”), granted the Petition
for Review filed by SPI, SPPC, SRHI, and MPPCL, declaring the 2014 ERC
Orders null and void and accordingly reinstated and declared as valid the
WESM prices for Luzon for the supply months of November to
December 2013.

Motions for Reconsideration of the November 7, 2017 Decision and several


other motions were filed by various intervenors, which were denied by the
Court of Appeals through its Omnibus Resolution dated March 29, 2019. The
intervenors filed Petitions for Review on Certiorari before the Supreme Court,
which were also denied by the Supreme Court through its resolutions dated
September 11, 2019 and October 1, 2019. Entries of judgment have been
issued by the Supreme Court certifying that the resolutions denying the
Petitions for Review on Certiorari filed by various intervenors against SPI,
SPPC, SRHI and MPPCL, among others, have become final and executory.

The ERC and Meralco also filed separate Petitions for Review appealing the
November 7, 2017 Decision and Omnibus Resolution dated March 29, 2019
of the Court of Appeals, which nullified and set aside the 2014 ERC Orders,
declaring the WESM prices for November and December 2013 void.

In a Resolution dated November 4, 2020, the Supreme Court directed the


consolidation of the separate petitions filed by the ERC and Meralco
considering that said cases involve the same parties, raise the same issues,
and assail the same decision and resolution, and the transfer of the petition
filed by Meralco to the third division of the Supreme Court handling the
petition by the ERC.

The ERC has also filed its Consolidated Reply to the comments on its
petition dated November 18, 2020.

The Supreme Court has not yet promulgated a decision. However, on


August 3, 2021, a decision was rendered by the Supreme Court En Banc on
a separate case (as discussed under “TRO Issued to Meralco”) declaring the
March 3, 2014 ERC Order as null and void, which are the subject of the
aforementioned Petition. Considering that this decision of the Supreme Court
En Banc (“SC Decision”) covers the March 3, 2014 ERC Order, the
difference between the actual Luzon WESM prices and the regulated prices
(based on the March 3, 2014 ERC Order) for WESM sales and purchases by
SPI, SPPC, SRHI, SMELC and MPPCL will have to be settled with the
IEMOP, the current operator of the WESM .

On July 26, 2022, the special interest groups sought reconsideration of the
SC Decision by filing separate Motions for Reconsideration where they
prayed that the Supreme Court Petition be granted. The ERC likewise filed a
Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the SC Decision and sought the
reinstatement of the March 3, 2014 ERC Order, among others.

These motions were denied with finality by the Supreme Court En Banc, in its
resolution dated October 11, 2022, which also directed the entry of judgment
of the SC Decision be made immediately. SPI, SPPC and SRHI on
January 4, 2023, while MPPCL on January 5, 2023 received a copy of the
Entry of Judgement of the SC Decision from the Supreme Court En Banc
dated October 11, 2022. A claim for refund may be pursued by the relevant
subsidiaries with IEMOP in the aggregate amount of up to P2,322.

b. EPIRA

The EPIRA sets forth the following: (i) Section 49 created PSALM to take
ownership and manage the orderly sale, disposition and privatization of all
existing NPC generation assets, liabilities, IPP contracts, real estate and all other
disposable assets; (ii) Section 31(c) requires the transfer of the management and
control of at least 70% of the total energy output of power plants under contract
with NPC to the IPP Administrators as one of the conditions for retail competition
and open access; and (iii) Pursuant to Section 51(c), PSALM has the power to
take title to and possession of the IPP contracts and to appoint, after a
competitive, transparent and public bidding, qualified independent entities who
shall act as the IPP Administrators in accordance with the EPIRA. In accordance
with the bidding procedures and supplemented bid bulletins thereto to appoint an
IPP Administrator relative to the capacity of the IPP contracts, PSALM has
conducted a competitive, transparent and open public bidding process following
which San Miguel Global Power was selected winning bidder of the IPPA
Agreements (Note 34).

The EPIRA requires generation and DU companies to undergo public offering


within five years from the effective date, and provides cross ownership
restrictions between transmission and generation companies. If the holding
company of generation and DU companies is already listed with the PSE, the
generation company or the DU need not comply with the requirement since such
listing of the holding company is deemed already as compliance with the EPIRA.

A DU is allowed to source from an associated company engaged in generation


up to 50% of its demand except for contracts entered into prior to the effective
date of the EPIRA. Generation companies are restricted from owning more than
30% of the installed generating capacity of a grid and/or 25% of the national
installed generating capacity. The Group is in compliance with the restrictions as
at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

c. Request for Price Adjustment on the Meralco PSAs

On October 22, 2019, SPI and SPPC each filed before the ERC a Joint
Application with Meralco for the approval of their respective PSA with Meralco
with prayer for provisional authority (the “Application”). The PSA of SPPC covers
the supply of 670 MW baseload capacity to Meralco (“SPPC PSA”) while the
PSA of SPI covers the supply of 330 MW baseload capacity to Meralco (“SPI
PSA”) both for a period of 10 years (collectively, the “PSAs”). The PSAs were
awarded by Meralco to each of SPPC and SPI after they emerged as the winning
bidders in the competitive selection process conducted by Meralco in September
2019.

On March 16, 2020, the ERC released Orders both dated December 10, 2019,
granting provisional authority to implement the SPPC PSA and SPI PSA.

On May 11, 2022, each of SPPC and SPI filed a Joint Motion for Price
Adjustment with Meralco (the “Joint Motion”) seeking approval from the ERC to
temporarily increase the contract price under the SPPC PSA and SPI PSA for a
period of six months, to recover incremental fuel costs covering January to May
2022 billing periods arising from a Change in Circumstances (as defined in the
PSAs) to be collected over a period of six months.

On September 29, 2022, the ERC denied the foregoing Joint Motions filed by
each of SPPC and SPI with Meralco requesting for the proposed price
adjustments (the “September 29, 2022 ERC Orders”).

- 251 -
SPPC CA Petition
On November 10, 2022, SPPC filed with the Court of Appeals a Petition for
Certiorari under Rule 65 with Application for the Issuance of a TRO and/or Writ of
Preliminary Injunction to annul, reverse and set aside the September 29, 2022
ERC Order for SPPC (the “SPPC CA Petition”).

In a Resolution dated November 23, 2022, the 14th Division of the Court of
Appeals granted SPPC’s application for a 60-day TRO, conditioned upon the
posting of a bond in the amount of P50 (the “TRO Bond”). SPPC’s prayer for the
issuance of a writ of preliminary injunction was held in abeyance pending receipt
of Respondents’ comments.

On November 24, 2022, SPPC filed an Urgent Motion to Allow Consolidation of


SPI CA Petition with the SPPC CA Petition before the 13th Division of the Court
of Appeals as the SPPC CA Petition was transferred to this division of the Court
of Appeals. This Urgent Motion was granted by the 13th Division subject to the
approval of the Court of Appeals Division handling the SPI CA Petition.

On November 25, 2022, SPPC posted the bond in the amount of P50 (the “TRO
Bond”). This was approved in a Resolution dated December 2, 2022, which
resulted in the issuance of the TRO on the same date.

On December 7, 2022, SPPC received a copy of the Entry of Appearance with


Motion to Lift and/or Dissolve the TRO filed by the ERC through the Office of the
Solicitor General. Meralco also filed a Motion to Lift TRO. SPPC filed its
Oppositions to said Motions to Lift and/or Dissolve the TRO.

Following the hearing on the application for preliminary injunction held on


January 11, 2023, the 13th Division of the Court of Appeals issued on
January 25, 2023, a resolution granting SPPC’s application for the issuance of a
writ of preliminary injunction conditioned upon the posting by SPPC of a bond in
the amount of P100 (the “Preliminary Injunction Bond”). The Court of Appeals
likewise directed Respondents ERC, Meralco and NASECORE to file their
respective comment on the SPPC CA Petition and allowed SPPC to file a reply
within five days from receipt of the Respondents’ comment.

On February 1, 2023, SPPC received copies of the ERC’s Comment Ad


Cautelam and NASECORE’S Manifestation. On February 6, 2023, SPPC
received a copy of MERALCO’s Comment. On February 13, 2023, SPPC filed a
Motion for Leave to File Consolidated Reply.

In a Resolution dated February 23, 2023, the Court of Appeals approved the
Preliminary Injunction Bond posted by SPPC on January 31, 2023, directed the
issuance of a Writ of Preliminary Injunction, and released the TRO Bond.

On February 23, 2023, the writ of preliminary injunction was issued by the Court
of Appeals for the SPPC CA Petition.

SPPC CA Petition remains pending resolution with the 13th Division of the Court
of Appeals.

SPI CA Petition
On November 10, 2022, SPI also filed with the Court of Appeals a Petition for
Certiorari under Rule 65 with Application for the Issuance of a TRO and/or Writ of
Preliminary Injunction to annul, reverse and set aside the September 29, 2022
ERC Order for SPI (the “SPI CA Petition”).

- 252 -
On November 24, 2022, SPI filed an Urgent Motion for Consolidation of the
instant Petition with the SPPC CA Petition pending before the 13th Division of
the Court of Appeals.

On December 27, 2022, SPI received a copy of the Court of Appeals 16th
Division’s Resolution dated November 28, 2022 which directed the private
respondents to file their comment on the petition and show cause why SPI’s
prayer for the issuance of a TRO and/or writ of preliminary injunction should not
be granted, within 10 days from notice. Action on SPI’s prayer for injunctive relief
was held in abeyance pending receipt of the required pleadings.

The ERC has filed an Opposition Ex Abundanti Ad Cautelam to SPI’s Urgent


Motion to Allow Consolidation of Cases.

MERALCO has filed its Opposition to SPI’s application for the issuance of a TRO
and/or writ of preliminary injunction. On January 10, 2023, SPI filed its Reply to
MERALCO’s Opposition.

On January 26, 2023, SPI received the Resolution dated January 13, 2023 of the
16th Division of the Court of Appeals which (i) denied the SPI’s prayer for the
issuance of a TRO and/or writ of preliminary injunction, and (ii) granted the
consolidation of SPI CA Petition with the SPPC CA Petition. The SPI CA Petition
was thus consolidated with the SPPC CA Petition before the 13th Division.

On February 10, 2023, SPI filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the
January 13, 2023 Resolution and prayed for the issuance of a writ of preliminary
injunction.

On February 14, 2023, SPI received copies of the ERC’s Comment Ad Cautelam
on the Petition and Meralco’s Comment.

On February 20, 2023, SPI filed a Motion for Leave to File Consolidated Reply.

SPI’s Motion for Partial Reconsideration (on the issuance of a writ of preliminary
injunction) and the SPI CA Petition remain pending resolution with the 13th
Division of the Court of Appeals.

In a Resolution dated April 3, 2023, the Court of Appeals upheld its decision to
consolidate the cases filed by SPI and SPPC thus denying the Motion for
Reconsideration (Opposition Ex Abundanti Ad Cautelam to SPI’s Urgent Motion
to Allow Consolidation of Cases) filed by the ERC.

d. Effect of COVID-19

The performance of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries over the past two
years showed continuous recovery from the impact of the pandemic with overall
volumes and revenues posting robust growth and even surpassing pre-pandemic
levels. Improving economic activities and the return of social celebrations were
key drivers amidst the challenges brought by economic and ongoing geopolitical
concerns.

The Parent Company and its subsidiaries ended 2022 with strong consolidated
sales, a 60% increase compared to 2021, surpassing 2019 pre-pandemic result.

- 253 -
e. Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia resulted to sudden


escalation in prices of several commodities, particularly crude oil, coal and
wheat, which were among the major raw material importations by the Group that
have greatly impacted the operating performance of the Fuel and Oil, Energy and
Food businesses, respectively.

Prices of crude oil which were already inflated even before the war due to
resurgence in demand, soared on the wake of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.
Dubai crude oil averaged at US$96 per barrel in 2022, nearly 40% higher than
last year’s average of US$69 per barrel. Average price peaked to US$113 per
barrel in June, dropping by 32% in the second half to US$77 per barrel in
December, due to global inflationary and recession fears.

Prices of coal surged to unprecedented levels as economic sanctions imposed


by western countries on Russian oil, gas and coal imports caused global
disruption on energy supply. Coal price index soared to US$404 per metric tons
in December 2022 from US$170 per metric tons in December 2021.

Given the importance of Ukraine and Russia on global wheat market, the
ongoing war’s impact on wheat supply led to food security concerns which drove
up prices worldwide. Prices of wheat increased by 51% to an average of P23.40
per kilogram in 2022 from P15.53 per kilogram in 2021.

Driven by the strong topline growth of the Fuel and Oil, Food and Beverage,
Packaging and Infrastructure businesses coupled with groupwide cost
management and initiatives which mitigated the continuing challenges of
increasing raw material costs, inflationary pressures, and foreign exchange
movements, consolidated operating income grew 10% from the previous year.
This was however tempered by the Energy business which was weighed down
by the significant increase in fuel costs.

f. Commitments

The outstanding purchase commitments of the Group amounted to P266,580


and P154,461 as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

These consist mainly of construction, acquisition, upgrade or repair of fixed


assets needed for normal operations of the business and will be funded by
available cash, short-term loans and long-term debt.

g. Foreign Exchange Rates

The foreign exchange rates used in translating the US dollar accounts of foreign
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to Philippine peso were closing rates
of P55.755 and P50.999 in 2022 and 2021, respectively, for consolidated
statements of financial position accounts; and average rates of P54.502,
P49.285 and P49.624 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for income and
expense accounts.

h. Certain accounts in prior years have been reclassified for consistency with the
current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported
financial performance for any period.
