ABS-CBN Reports P16.4-B First Half Revenues, On Track to Meet Full-Year Targets

ABS-CBN Corporation reported PHP16.4 billion consolidated revenues for the first half of 2014, bringing its net income to PHP995 million, around 44% higher compared to the same period last year after removing the effect of election-related ad spending.

The company reported steady second quarter revenues of PHP8.2 billion – almost identical to the revenues generated during the first quarter of this year.

“I am pleased with our overall performance for the first half of the year, and I am confident that we will be able to achieve our full-year financial targets,” said Aldrin Cerrado, the company’s Chief Financial Officer. “Channel 2 continues to dominate strongly in terms of national audience shares and ratings, Star Cinema’s performance at the box office was excellent, and Skycable has grown both its cable and broadband businesses,” added Cerrado. “Our Global business has been solid, and we have been able to reach our fellow Kapamilya overseas through events such as ‘ASAP Dubai’ and ‘OK Go’ in Canada and various other countries.”

The company reported that its costs and expenses were lower compared to the same period last year, while total assets rose to PHP64.8 billion as of the end of June 2014 from PHP58.0 billion as of end last year. Its equity base rose to PHP26.2 billion from PHP25.9 billion in 2013.

Ron Valdueza, Group CFO and Head of Corporate Services Group 2 stated: “We are looking forward to sustaining our performance throughout the second half of the year. The results of our initiatives on both the revenue and expense side have been positive, and we should be able to deliver a marked improvement in our margins over the coming years.”

“ABS-CBNmobile subscriber acquisition numbers are very encouraging. Our O Shopping Channel is generating over PHP1 million in daily sales and is expected to be profitable this year, while our educational theme park, KidZania, has already exceeded its target number of industrial partners and will open for business early next year,” added Valdueza.

According to Kantar Media, the top ten programs for the first half in 2014 for free-to-air television were all produced by ABS-CBN. The company hopes to further boost its audience share once it improves the reception of channel 2 in the Mega Manila area and Central Luzon. This should be achieved through ABS-CBN’s transition to digital terrestrial television.

    tungkol naman sa kita ng ABS-CBN, bahala na ang BIR ang mag-imbistiga…kahit anong opinion ninyo, tanging BIR lang ang magsasabi kung may pagkakamali sa pagrereport ng financial statement ng ABS-CBN kaya hindi na dapat pagtalunan ito.

  6. romantiko // August 15, 2014 at 11:31 pm //

    ang pagkakamali ni gozon ay hindi nila agad ipinagbili sa offer ni pangilinan kaya ngayon kahit lugi ibinibenta na nila akala kasi ni gozon may mag-o-offer pa ng mas mataas doon sa offer ni pangilinan. wala na ngang limit ang commercial hour nila lugi pa rin…halos wala ka na ngang mapanood dahil sa puro commercial na lang ang palabas sa channel 7….pero lugi pa rin…

  7. JUSTFORREAL. // August 15, 2014 at 2:59 pm //

    Matagal ng nalulugi ang gma. ilang mga movies na nla ang flop.alam nilang mababa ang kanilang mga ratings. pinapalabas lang nila na mataas thru agb. ilang years narin na hindi sila nakakapag franchise ng international shows.un like abs. kaya naisip ni sir gozon na ibenta nalang habang may konting kita pa sya..

  8. pagpasensyahin nyo na si DarkfallinAngelFromPinoyExchange.com, nakalimutan nya uminom ng gamot kaya inaatake na naman ng sakit nya. HALLUCINATION. ayan naghahalucinate siya kung anu ano na sinasabi nya. ahahaha

    @Sibak…maaaring hindi ganun ka tama ang financial report nila, maaring may over declaration sa expenses..pero hindi mo na problema yun, my external auditor na mag au-audit nyan, cla ang magsasabi kung tama ang lahat ng nakasaad sa financial report ng ABS….at kung sakaling hindi sang ayon ang BIR sa report ng external auditor jan na papasok si HENARES mo. but as long as the financial report was audited and certified yan ng certified public accountant malabo ng makialam c HENARES jan, unless it is very obvious na talagang may mali sa financial report ng ABS

    @sibak.. hindi mo pweding e kumpara ang japanese company mo sa abs-cbn dahil mag kaiba cla ng industry. iba ang source of revenue nila. wag kang mag taka kung naliliitan ka sa income nila dahil hindi lng abs artist ang pinapaswelduhan nila, mula sa artist hangagng sa pinaka maliit na tao na nag tatrabaho sa abs ay dapat mong e consider, isama mo pa ang ibang departamento gaya ng news & current affairs. ABS CBN corporation ang pinag uusapan dito. kung ikukumpara ang expenses ng abs sa gma di hamak na mas malaki ang gastos ng abs dahil mas malaki ang talent fee ng mga artist nila kumpara sa GMA. marami ding franchise at rights ang nabili ng ABS gaya ng the voice kids, PBB, PGT atbp. imagine din kung naka ilang season yan. alam mo ba na dolyar ang binabayad ng abs to purchase the rights of those foreign programs, kaya malaki ang expenses ng abs kumpara sa GMA. ibig sabihin malakas ang purchasing power ng abs kaysa sa GMA. regarding investment ng mga negosyante wala clang paki alam kung malaki ang puhunan ng kumpanaya, ang paki alam nila ay ang market value ng share. mag research ka kung sino ang my malaking value ng shares of stocks kung abs o gma.

  18. sa mata ng mga nakakabasa nito, 995m ay napakalaki, pero kung lalabas pagiging makabayan natin iisipin natin na niloloko nila bansa natin dahil sa pagtatago nila ng tamang tax

  19. @gametime, yes overwhelming talaga ang figures nila at kaya nila nilalabas e mmarketing strategy nila yan, ang sa akin lang lumalabas 93.8% cost at expenses, isipin mo, sinong negosyante ang papayag na ganun kalaki ang puhunan

  20. @sibak
    16.4 billion is not bad.. billion is billion. To think na six months p lng yan. January to June of 2014. Ung movie ni sarah is 2013 p un.. ung 3 mmff entries eh december 2013 nagstart ung pagpapalabas.hindi talaga isasama sa invome statement ung expenses sa expansion at pagbili kasi Cash Outflow sya. Ung pagbili, u cannot call it asset.. ang asset is ung physical na investment o ung “binili”. Pero ung “pagbili” un eh considered as Cash Outflow.

    Consolidated income (cash inflows) – expenses (cash outflow) = Net Income

  21. GMA earned 5.8 billion for the first half from 6++billion same period last year, while ABS earned 16.4 billion for the first half, tumaas ng 44% compared same period last year, ang gma bumaba kc wala raw election eh bakit ang abs tumaas..?

  22. anonameko // August 15, 2014 at 12:36 am //

    @sibak, may effect po ang pagbili ng ppe at expansion sa income statement nila, kc lumalaki din depreciation expense nila, ang result kapag malaki investment na di naman kumikita anytime pwede bitawan yun kaya sayang lang pera sa halip na malaking tulong kung di napasama sa depreciation kc malaking ambag sa tax yun

  23. gametime, di dapat isama sa income statement ang pagbili ng properties and equipment at expansion, sa assets sasama yun kaya di makakaapekto sa income nila

  24. kahit saang network naman ako, ang sa akin lang e, dun sa mga movies na nabanggit ko 2billion na ang revenues nila, den kung 40% ang cost morethan 1billion na income ng movies nila, malaki pa nga ang 40% kung tutuusin kc production cost nyan wala pang 30million kasama na talent fees. nakukulangan lang ako sa income nila considering napakalaking company nila. empleyado din kc ako ng japanese company dito sa laguna, mas malaki di hamak ang revenue ng abscbn, halos kalahati ng sa company na pinagtatrabahuhan ko, pero almost pareho lang income

  25. anonameko // August 14, 2014 at 11:52 pm //

    sobrang lalaki ng sinasabi nilang income, nakakalula, pero kung tutuusin maliit ito para sa pinakamalaking network sa pilipinas, mas malaki pa ang kinita ng nag-iisang tao na si pacquiao

  26. Sibak, I dont know kung kapamilya ka or kapuso pero i just want to remind u something.. yes lampas sa 1 billion ung kinita ng Star Cinema.. kasama na un sa 16.4billion na kinita ng ABS-CBN..but then, kailangan ibawas ung mga ginastos din ng ABS-CBN sa pagwa ng movies, tv shows, pag invest sa bagong equipments, expansion, expenses, at iba pang gastusin… after mabawas lahat un, dun na makukuha ung 995 million na tinubo ng ABS-CBN.. (GMA had a 580 million na tubo)

    Just a friendy info lng po 🙂

  27. or it means lugi ang lahat ng stations ng abscbn, naisalba lang ng starcinema

  28. correction (total 2billion)

  29. attention bir henares, kulang ito, imagine kulang pa ito sa income ng starcinema, siguro over ang declaration ng cost and expenses para makaiwas sa malaking taxes. 3 mmff entries 800m+, sarah movie 300m+, vhong movie 100m+, piolo movie 400m+, kim chui movie 300m+, total 200billion+, conservative cost 40% lang, more than 1billion n income ng starcinema

  30. A ng B asura S tation C ertified B asura N etwork …

  31. Ang ABS-CBN may: ABS-CBN Sports Division, ABS-CBN Sports+Action, Cinema One, Jeepney TV, Balls Channel, MYX Music Channel, O Shopping, IWANTV, ABS-CBNmobile, ABS-CBN Publishing, tatlong Helicopters, etc.
