Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Q2 2026
Earnings Call Date:Jul 30, 2026|
% Change Since:
|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presents a generally constructive picture: revenue and EBITDA are stable with a clear shift toward higher-margin data, enterprise and digital services. Enterprise, data center (VITRO) and Maya show strong growth trajectories and strategic positioning. Management demonstrated discipline on costs and capital, reducing CapEx intensity and maintaining margins while continuing to invest selectively. Near-term headwinds include a H1 revenue lag in Home from installation disruptions, higher depreciation/IFRS16 effects weighing on core income, some operating cost pressures and ongoing deleveraging needs. Overall, positives (sustained EBITDA growth, enterprise and Maya momentum, network awards, dividend policy and improved CapEx efficiency) outweigh the lowlights, though execution on asset monetization, margin protection and leverage reduction will be key to sustain momentum.
Company Guidance
PLDT reiterated full‑year CapEx guidance in the mid‑PHP 50 billion range (H1 CapEx PHP 20.7B vs PHP 27.4B prior year; H1 CapEx intensity 19% down from 26%), with a priority on lowering CapEx intensity over time while sustaining positive free cash flow and funding key areas (new cell sites, regional fiber core, AI, submarine cables, IT modernization); net debt stood at PHP 287.3B with net debt/EBITDA at 2.57x and a stated objective to move toward ~2.0x (and to ~2.4x assuming a potential Q4 VITRO REIT that could release ~PHP 12–13B PPA proceeds to pay down debt); average pre‑tax interest cost improved to 5.05% (from 5.43%), USD debt is ~14% of total, average debt maturity >6 years and only ~3% of debt matures in 2026; management reiterated asset‑monetization plans (tower sale target ~PHP 2B) and dividend policy (interim cash dividend PHP 46/share, trailing 12‑month yield ~8%, payout aligned to ~60% of core income), while retaining investment‑grade ratings (S&P BBB, Moody’s Baa2).
Stable Top-Line and Service Revenue Growth
Consolidated gross service revenues grew 2% to PHP 108.7B; service revenues net of interconnection increased 1% to PHP 97.8B. Excluding legacy services, revenues grew 2% to PHP 89.2B, which now represent 91% of total revenue.
Resilient EBITDA and Margin
EBITDA reached PHP 56.1B for the first half, the fifth consecutive semester of growth (from PHP 53.9B in H1 2024), with a stable EBITDA margin of 52%.
Enterprise and Data/ICT Momentum
Enterprise revenues rose 5% to PHP 24.8B; corporate data and ICT up 5% to PHP 18.4B. ICT revenues increased ~22%, with tech services growth cited at 35% (ePLDT tech services specifically noted as +37%). PLDT Global (+30%), Smart enterprise (+15%) and VITRO (+13%) all reported strong growth.
VITRO Data Center Expansion and Positioning
VITRO data center revenues grew 13%; activated IT-ready capacity ~34 MW with next 10 MW targeted for activation by year-end and potential to expand to 62.4 MW (>80% upside).

Wireless Stabilization and Strong Network Recognition
Wireless consumer revenues broadly stable at PHP 42.1B; mobile data & FWA grew to PHP 38.7B. Active data users reached 44.1M; data traffic +12% to 3,273 PB; 5G devices at 12.5M (21% of devices). Smart won 8 OpenSignal awards and Ookla Speedtest awards (Fastest Mobile Network, Best Mobile Network, Best Mobile Video Experience).
Improving Home Operating Indicators
Home revenues were PHP 30B (down 1% but recovering); fiber net adds improved to 97,000 in Q2 (more than double Q1 trend). Postpaid net adds turned positive in May and monthly postpaid churn improved to 1.4% (blended churn 1.8%). ARPU remains industry-leading at PHP 1,330.
Stronger Cash Generation, Lower CapEx Intensity
H1 CapEx was PHP 20.7B (down from PHP 27.4B a year ago), reducing CapEx intensity to 19% of service revenues from 26% last year; full-year CapEx guidance remains mid-PHP 50B. Free cash flow focus and asset monetization initiatives in progress.
Maya Continued Scale and Financial Growth
Maya remained profitable and scaled: deposit balances PHP 86B (+71% YoY), loans outstanding PHP 39B (+56% YoY), loan-to-deposit ratio 45%, gross NPL 4.8% and annualized net interest margin at 17.3%. Maya holds ~53% of POS terminals nationwide (Dec 2025).
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
Net debt at PHP 287.3B with net debt/EBITDA ~2.57x; average debt maturity >6 years and average pre-tax interest cost improved to 5.05% (from 5.43%). PLDT retains investment-grade ratings (S&P BBB; Moody's Baa2). Interim cash dividend declared at PHP 46/share (trailing 12-month dividend yield ~8%).
Operational Efficiency and Service Improvements
Cost discipline kept cash cost base broadly stable (cash OpEx, subsidies & provisions ~PHP 41.7B) while funding growth areas. Service improvements include Store Genie (AI tool) achieving ~10x faster inquiry resolution, halving ticket escalations and avoiding >61,000 hours of customer waiting time.
