PSE Net Income hits P495.7 Million in H1 2025

​The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE) and its Subsidiaries recorded a net income after tax of P495.7 million for the first half of 2025, reflecting a 25%-increase from last year. Operating revenues rose by 82%, which is attributable to the surge in revenue from trading-related fees and listing-related fees. These increases were partially offset by the combined effect of a 70%-increase in total expenses and a 58%-decline in other income, mainly due to foreign exchange losses.

Operating revenues rose by 82%, which is mainly due to the significant increase in trading-related fees and listing-related fees was largely attributed to transaction fees from the subsidiaries of PDSHC, while the increase in revenue from listing-related fees was driven by the additional listing fees and listing maintenance fees, which grew by 57% and 43%, respectively. Furthermore, depository securities account fees from the Philippine Depository & Trust Corporation (PDTC) contributed an additional P282.4 million, boosting total revenues.
 
These increases were partially offset by the combine effect of a 70% increase in total expenses and a 58% decline in other income. The decrease in other income was mainly due to foreign exhange losses driven by prevailing market volatility and interest expense from loans payable. In the same period last year, the Group recorded income from PDSHC as an associate company. Since the Group acquired additional interests from December 27, 2024 to June 30, 2025, it is now treated as a subsidiary. As a result, the Group no longer recorded equity income from PDHSC, which contributed to the decline in other income this year.
