MANILA, Philippines — Metro Retail Stores Group Inc. (MRSGI) saw a 1.4-percent dip in its 2024 earnings, which settled at P609.42 million, due to expansion-related costs.

The Gaisano-led group disclosed to the stock exchange on Wednesday that its net sales for the year reached P39.62 billion.

This meant an increase of 3.5 percent thanks to gains from the food retail business, which grew by 4.9 percent.

Meanwhile, same-store sales barely moved as it registered a 0.5-percent growth.

The flat performance was due mainly to MRSGI’s move to scale down low-margin transactions last year.

“In 2024, MRSGI showed its capability to achieve balanced growth,” MRSGI president and COO Manuel Alberto said in a statement.

“We expanded our network and increased net sales while maintaining a focus on operational efficiency.” Alberto said.
