In our view, First Pacific’s H1/22 results were robust. All investee companies performed well, with the two key assets (Indofood and Philippine Long Distance Telephony) delivering record high revenue and earnings. Indofood’s guidance for H2 is positive, with a significant increase in margins as higher raw material costs are passed through. While leverage increased slightly due to lower share prices of investee companies, we believe it is still at an acceptable level due to the general market volatility. Liquidity at the holdco is adequate, given the good debt maturity profile. The financial risk profile remains stable, with no real improvement as excess cash flows are mainly returned to shareholders. That said, if the situation deteriorates, such distributions can be delayed/postponed to repair the balance sheet.
