Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or “PLDT Group” mean PLDT Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to “PLDT” or “the Company” mean PLDT Inc., not including its consolidated subsidiaries (please see Note 2 – Summary of Material Accounting Policies to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the list of these subsidiaries, including a description of their respective principal business activities and PLDT’s direct and/or indirect equity interest).

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the financial information discussed below, have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS Accounting Standards) which is virtually converged with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. PFRS Accounting Standards differs in certain significant respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Unless otherwise indicated, in this report and in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the exchange rate used to convert the U.S. Dollar amounts into the Philippine Peso was Php61.29 to US$1.00, the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate as quoted through the Bankers Association of the Philippines as at June 30, 2026.

Performance Indicators

We use a number of non-GAAP performance indicators to monitor financial performance. These are summarized below and discussed later in this report.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA for the period is measured as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, asset impairment on noncurrent assets, financing costs – net, interest income, equity share in net earnings (losses) of associates and joint ventures, foreign exchange gains (losses) – net, gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments – net, provision for (benefit from) income tax and other income (expenses) – net, manpower rightsizing program (MRP) and non-recurring income (expenses). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are monitored by management for each business unit separately for purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are presented because our management believes that it is widely used by investors in their analysis of our performance and can assist them in their comparison of our performance with those of other companies in the technology, media and telecommunications sector. Companies in the technology, media and telecommunications sector have historically reported Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with PFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to net income as indicators of our performance, nor should Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or as alternatives to any other measure determined in accordance with PFRS Accounting Standards. Unlike net income, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization, or financing costs and, therefore, does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as only one of several comparative tools, together with PFRS Accounting Standards-based measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such PFRS Accounting Standards-based measurements include income before income tax, net income, and operating, investing and financing cash flows. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Core Income and Telco Core Income

Core income for the period is measured as net income attributable to equity holders of PLDT (net income less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests), excluding foreign exchange gains (losses) – net, gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments – net (excluding hedge costs), impairment on noncurrent assets, other non-recurring gains (losses), net of tax effect of aforementioned adjustments, as applicable, and similar adjustments to equity share in net earnings (losses) of associates and joint ventures. Core income results are monitored by management for each business unit separately for purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

Meanwhile, telco core income for the period is measured as net income attributable to equity holders of PLDT (net income less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests), excluding foreign exchange gains (losses) – net, gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments – net (excluding hedge costs), impairment on noncurrent assets, non-recurring gains (losses), net of tax effect of aforementioned adjustments, as applicable, and similar adjustments to equity share in net earnings (losses) of associates and joint ventures, adjusted for the effect of the share in Maya Innovations Holdings, Pte. Ltd. (MIH) and Kayana Solutions, Inc. (Kayana), formerly Limitless Growth Ventures, Inc. income (losses), asset sales, and depreciation due to change in accounting estimate. Telco core income is used by the management as a basis for determining the level of dividend payouts to shareholders and one of the bases for granting incentives to employees.

img1183553_0.jpg

Core income and telco core income should not be considered as alternatives to income before income tax or net income determined in accordance with PFRS Accounting Standards. Unlike net income, core income and telco core income do not include certain items, among others, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, impairment on non-current assets and non-recurring gains and losses. We compensate for these limitations by using core income and telco core income as few out of several comparative tools, together with PFRS Accounting Standards-based measurements, to assist us in the evaluation of our operating performance. Such PFRS Accounting Standards-based measurements include income before income tax and net income. Our calculation of core income may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Changes in Financial Conditions

Assets

Our total assets amounted to Php638,278 million as at June 30, 2026, an increase of Php3,299 million, or 1%, from Php634,979 million as at December 31, 2025, primarily due to higher current assets by Php4,965 million, partially offset by lower noncurrent assets by Php1,666 million.

img1183553_0.jpg

Noncurrent Assets

Property and equipment decreased by Php847 million mainly due to depreciation for the period, partially offset by capital expenditures.

Right-of-use assets decreased by Php463 million, or 1%, mainly due to depreciation for the period, partially offset by additional sites leased.

Investments in associates and joint ventures increased by Php1,093 million, or 2%, mainly due to equity share in net earnings in MIH.

Deferred income tax assets decreased by Php1,870 million, or 16%, mainly due to lower unamortized past service pension costs and unearned revenues.

Other noncurrent assets increased by Php421 million mainly due to higher investment properties and prepayments – net of current portion.

Current Assets

Cash and cash equivalents increased by Php30 million mainly due to the combined effects of cash flows from operating activities of Php45,776 million, cash flows used in investing activities of Php23,272 million, and cash flows used in financing activities of Php22,603 million.

Trade and other receivables increased by Php4,026 million, or 13%, mainly due to higher receivables from corporate subscribers, and dealer, agents and others.

Inventories and supplies increased by Php944 million, or 51%, mainly due to higher commercial inventories.

Other current assets decreased by Php35 million mainly due to lower current portion of prepayments and other non-financial assets, partially offset by higher current portion of debt instruments at amortized cost.

Liabilities

Our total liabilities amounted to Php503,157 million as at June 30, 2026, a decrease of Php3,376 million, or 1%, from Php506,533 million as at December 31, 2025, primarily due to lower noncurrent liabilities by Php12,396 million, partially offset by higher current liabilities by Php9,020 million.

Noncurrent and current interest-bearing financial liabilities increased by Php2,877 million, or 1%, primarily due to drawings from our long-term facilities and the revaluation of foreign currency-denominated debt, partially offset by debt amortizations.

Other noncurrent liabilities decreased by Php536 million, primarily due to lower lease liabilities – net of current portion.

Accounts payable decreased by Php3,034 million primarily due to lower payables to suppliers and contractors.

Other current liabilities decreased by Php2,683 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower accrued expenses and other current liabilities, partially offset by higher lease liabilities and income tax payable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have any current or future effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, changes in stockholders’ equity, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Equity Financing

The PLDT Board of Directors approved the amendment of our dividend policy on August 2, 2016, reducing our dividend payout rate to 60% of our core earnings per share as regular dividends. This was in view of our elevated capital expenditures to build-out a robust, superior network to support the continued growth of data traffic, plans to invest in new adjacent businesses that will

img1183553_0.jpg

complement the current business and provide future sources of profits and dividends, and management of our cash and gearing levels. We began basing our dividend payout on telco core income in 2019. In declaring dividends, we take into consideration the interest of our shareholders, as well as our working capital, capital expenditures and debt servicing requirements. The retention of earnings may be necessary to meet the funding requirements of our business expansion and development programs. Depending on business funding requirements and investment opportunities, we may consider the option of returning additional cash to our shareholders in the form of special dividends of up to the balance of our core earnings or to undertake share buybacks. We were able to pay out approximately 100% of our core earnings for seven consecutive years from 2007 to 2013, approximately 90% of our core earnings for 2014, 75% of our core earnings for 2015, 60% of our core earnings from 2016 to 2018, and 60% of our telco core income from 2019 to 2025. In addition, we paid special dividends of 28% of our telco core earnings in 2022, bringing the total payout ratio to 88% for that year. The accumulated equity in the net earnings of our subsidiaries, which form part of our retained earnings, are not available for distribution unless realized in the form of dividends from such subsidiaries. Dividends are generally paid in Philippine pesos. In the case of shareholders residing outside the Philippines, PLDT’s transfer agent in Manila, Philippines, as the dividend-disbursing agent, converts the Philippine peso dividends into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate and remits the dollar dividends abroad, net of any applicable withholding tax and fees, in the case of the American Depositary Shares (ADS).

Our subsidiaries pay dividends subject to the requirements of applicable laws and regulations and availability of unrestricted retained earnings, without any restriction imposed by the terms of contractual agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subsidiaries of PLDT may, at any time, declare and pay such dividends depending upon the results of operations and future projects and plans, the respective subsidiary’s earnings, cash flow, financial condition, capital investment requirements and other factors.

Consolidated cash dividend payments amounted to Php9,934 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared with Php10,213 million paid to shareholders in the same period in 2025.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

The main risks arising from our financial instruments are liquidity risk, foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The importance of managing those risks has significantly increased in light of the considerable change and volatility in both the Philippine and international financial markets. Our Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks. We also monitor the market price risk arising from all financial instruments.

For further discussions of these risks, see Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

PLDT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • Corporate Information

PLDT Inc., which we refer to as PLDT or the Parent Company, was incorporated under the old Corporation Law of the Philippines (Act 1459, as amended) on November 28, 1928, following the merger of four telephone companies under common U.S. ownership. PLDT holds a perpetual corporate term under Section 11 of the Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 11232), which grants existing corporations to have a perpetual existence unless a majority vote of its stockholders elects to retain a specified corporate term.

In 1967, effective control of PLDT was transferred from General Telephone and Electronics Corporation, a major shareholder then since PLDT’s incorporation, to a group of Filipino investors. In 1981, as part of the Philippine government’s policy to integrate the country’s telecommunications industry, PLDT acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Republic Telephone Company, then the second largest telephone provider in the Philippines.

In 1998, certain subsidiaries of First Pacific Company Limited, or First Pacific, and its Philippine affiliates (collectively the First Pacific Group and its Philippine affiliates), acquired a significant interest in PLDT. On March 24, 2000, NTT DOCOMO Business, Inc., or NTT DOCOMO Business (formerly NTT Communications Corporation), through its wholly-owned subsidiary NTT Communications Capital (UK) Ltd., became PLDT's strategic partner with approximately a 15% economic and voting interest in PLDT’s common stock. Concurrent with NTT DOCOMO Business’ investment, PLDT acquired 100% of Smart Communications, Inc., or Smart.

On March 14, 2006, NTT DOCOMO, Inc., or NTT DOCOMO, acquired approximately 7% of PLDT’s then outstanding common shares from NTT DOCOMO Business, which retained ownership of about 7% of PLDT’s common shares. Since then, NTT DOCOMO has made additional purchases of PLDT shares, bringing the combined beneficial ownership of NTT DOCOMO and NTT DOCOMO Business (both part of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation) to approximately 20.35% of PLDT’s outstanding common stock as at June 30, 2026.

On February 28, 2007, Metro Pacific Asset Holdings, Inc., a Philippine affiliate of First Pacific, completed an acquisition of an approximately 46% interest in Philippine Telecommunications Investment Corporation, or PTIC, a shareholder of PLDT. This investment in PTIC represented an attributable interest of approximately 6% of PLDT’s outstanding common shares at the time and raised the First Pacific Group’s and its Philippine affiliates’ beneficial ownership to approximately 28% of PLDT’s outstanding common stock as of that date. Since then, the First Pacific Group’s beneficial ownership interest in PLDT has decreased by approximately 2%, mainly due to the holders of Exchangeable Notes issued in 2005 by a subsidiary of First Pacific, which were fully exchanged into PLDT shares. The First Pacific Group and its Philippine affiliates held beneficial ownership of approximately 25.57% of PLDT’s outstanding common stock as at June 30, 2026.

On October 26, 2011, PLDT completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in Digital Telecommunications Phils., Inc., or Digitel, from JG Summit Holdings, Inc., or JGSHI, and its affiliates, or collectively, the JG Summit Group. As consideration for the assets acquired, PLDT issued approximately 27.7 million common shares. In November 2011, JGSHI sold 5.81 million and 4.56 million PLDT shares to a Philippine affiliate of First Pacific and NTT DOCOMO, respectively, under separate option agreements. As at June 30, 2026, the JG Summit Group beneficially owned approximately 11.27% of PLDT’s outstanding common stock.

On October 16, 2012, BTF Holdings, Inc., or BTFHI, a wholly-owned company of the Board of Trustees for the Account of the Beneficial Trust Fund, or PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund, created pursuant to PLDT’s Benefit Plan, subscribed to 150 million newly issued shares of Voting Preferred Stock of PLDT, or Voting Preferred Shares, at a subscription price of Php1.00 per share for a total subscription price of Php150 million. This subscription was made pursuant to a subscription agreement between BTFHI and PLDT dated October 15, 2012. Consequently, the issuance of these Voting Preferred Shares reduced the voting power of the NTT Group (comprising of NTT DOCOMO and NTT DOCOMO Business), the First Pacific Group and its Philippine affiliates, and JG Summit Group to 12.01%, 15.09% and 6.65%, respectively, which still holds as at June 30, 2026. See Note 19 – Equity – Preferred Stock – Voting Preferred Stock.

The common shares of PLDT are listed and traded on the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc., or PSE. On October 19, 1994, an American Depositary Receipt, or ADR, facility was established, under which Citibank N.A., as the depositary, issued American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, with each ADS representing one PLDT common share with a par value of Php5.00 per share. Effective February 10, 2003, PLDT appointed JP Morgan Chase Bank as the successor depositary for its ADR facility. The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, in the United States and are traded on the NYSE under the symbol “PHI” as at June 30, 2026, there were approximately 16 million ADSs outstanding.

PLDT and our Philippine-based fixed line and wireless subsidiaries operate under the jurisdiction of the Philippine National Telecommunications Commission, or NTC. The NTC’s jurisdiction includes, among other responsibilities, the approval of major services offered and certain rates charged to customers.

We are one of the leading telecommunications and digital services providers in the Philippines, serving the fixed line, wireless and broadband markets. Through our three principal business segments, Wireless, Fixed Line and Others, we offer a wide range of telecommunications and digital services across our extensive fiber optic backbone and wireless and fixed line networks. Our principal activities are discussed in Note 4 – Operating Segment Information.

Our registered office address is Ramon Cojuangco Building, Makati Avenue, Makati City, Philippines. Information on our structure is provided in Note 2 – Summary of Material Accounting Policies – Basis of Consolidation. Information on other related party relationships of the PLDT Group is provided in Note 24 – Related Party Transactions.

Our consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2026, as reviewed by the Audit Committee on August 11, 2026.

Enactment of Republic Act No. 12234 (Konektadong Pinoy Act)

The Konektadong Pinoy Act (KP Act) took effect on September 14, 2025. The corresponding Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) became effective on December 16, 2025. The KP Act introduces an open-access regime in the data transmission sector, including removal of the legislative franchise requirement for data transmission services, mandatory infrastructure sharing for services included in the regulators’ Access List, and a revised spectrum management framework providing for periodic review, potential recall, and reassignment of spectrum by the NTC and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).

These regulatory changes may increase competitive intensity, requiring the PLDT Group to provide access to certain infrastructure and services on fair and non-discriminatory terms, and subject spectrum holdings to periodic review under the new Spectrum Management Policy Framework. The implementation of performance standards, pricing transparency requirements, and other regulatory measures may also affect operating flexibility and margins.

This legislation marks a significant shift in the Philippine connectivity regulatory landscape aimed at accelerating digital connectivity and fostering a more competitive market environment. We continue to monitor further regulatory guidelines from the NTC and the DICT. Management does not expect any immediate material impairment of its existing assets, though it continues to evaluate the potential long-term impact of these regulatory developments on the competitive position and overall financial performance of the Company.

  • Summary of Material Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards, or IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, or FVPL, investment properties and pension that are measured at fair values.

Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, PLDT’s functional currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated.

Our consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period.

Revisions of Prior-Period Comparative Financial Statements

An error was identified related to the hedge recycling gains associated with certain call spread option derivatives designated as cash flow hedges impacting the year ended December 31, 2025 and prior periods. The revisions described below reflect the errors identified to date.

Upon a subsequent detailed review of hedge effectiveness, the amounts previously recycled to profit or loss have exceeded the amount of fair value losses on cash flow hedges in other comprehensive loss.

In addition to the hedge accounting error described above, the revised prior-period financial information also reflects certain previously unrecorded adjustments identified in connection with audits of prior years' consolidated financial statements.

Accordingly, the PLDT Group has revised the comparative (i) statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025; (ii) income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2025; (iii) statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2025; (iv) and the related notes included herein.

Based on the information currently available, the revisions identified do not materially affect the Group’s total cash flows from/(used in) operations, investing, and financing activities, or key operating metrics, including EBITDA, EBIT, Telco Core income and Core income. The Company does not expect the revisions to affect the dividend payout to shareholders and management incentives, which are also computed based on our telco core income. The matter is technical in nature and does not trigger, nor is it subject to, any clawback or recovery provisions.

Summary of Material Accounting Policies

The following is the summary of material accounting policies we applied in preparing our consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Business Combinations and Goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, we elect whether to measure the components of the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in general operating costs.

When we acquire a business, we assess the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The fair value of previously held equity interest is then included in the amount of total consideration transferred.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. In accordance with IFRS 9, the contingent consideration that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for noncontrolling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, we reassess whether we correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and review the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, we report in our consolidated financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, which is no longer than one year from the acquisition date, the provisional amounts recognized at acquisition date are retrospectively adjusted to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. During the measurement period, we also recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of our cash-generating units, or CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill acquired in a business combination has yet to be allocated to identifiable CGUs because the initial accounting is incomplete, such provisional goodwill is not tested for impairment unless indicators of impairment exist and we can reliably allocate the carrying amount of goodwill to a CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on

F-16

disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the CGU retained.

Investments in Associates

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The cost of the investments includes directly attributable transaction costs. The details of our investments in associates are disclosed in Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Investments in Associates.

Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, we recognize our share in such change and disclose this, when applicable, in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from our transactions with and among our associates are eliminated to the extent of our interests in those associates.

Our share in the profits or losses of our associates is included under “Other Expenses - Net” in our consolidated income statements. This is the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the associate and net of the noncontrolling interest in the subsidiaries of the associate.

Joint Arrangements

When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of the joint venture in line with our policies. The details of our investments in joint ventures are disclosed in Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Investments in Joint Ventures.

Adjustments are made in our consolidated financial statements to eliminate our share of unrealized gains and losses on transactions between us and our joint venture. Our investment in the joint venture is carried at equity method until the date on which we cease to have joint control over the joint venture.

Upon loss of joint control over the joint venture, we measure and recognize our retained investment at fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the former joint venture upon loss of joint control and the fair value of the remaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss. When the remaining investment constitutes significant influence, it is accounted for as an investment in an associate with no remeasurement.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is also the Parent Company’s functional currency. The Philippine Peso is the currency of the primary economic environment in which we operate. This is also the currency that mainly influences the revenue from and cost of rendering products and services. Each entity in our Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the separate financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

The functional and presentation currency of the entities under the PLDT Group (except for the subsidiaries discussed below) is the Philippine Peso.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by entities under our Group at the respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in our consolidated income statements except for foreign exchange differences that qualify as capitalizable borrowing costs for qualifying assets. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The gain or loss arising from transactions of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of this gain or loss on the change in fair value of the items (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or profit, or loss are also recognized in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The functional currency of PLDT Global and certain of its subsidiaries, and PGNL and certain of its subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into Philippine Peso at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and income and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated monthly using the weighted average exchange rate for the month. The exchange differences arising on translation are recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments. Upon disposal of these

F-17

subsidiaries, the amount of deferred cumulative translation adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income relating to subsidiaries is recognized in our consolidated income statements.

Foreign exchange gains or losses of the Parent Company and our Philippine-based subsidiaries are treated as taxable income or deductible expenses in the period such exchange gains or losses are realized.

Assets Classified as Held-for-Sale

We classify assets as held-for-sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Assets classified as held-for-sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The criteria for held-for-sale classification are regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale is expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification.

Property and equipment, and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held-for-sale.

Assets and liabilities classified as held-for-sale are presented separately as current items in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Additional disclosures are provided in Note 9 – Property and Equipment – Sale and Leaseback of Telecom Towers and Note 10 – Leases. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless indicated otherwise.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments – Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

Classification of financial assets

Financial assets are classified in their entirety based on the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial assets and our business model for managing the financial assets. We classify our financial assets into the following measurement categories:

  • Financial assets measured at amortized cost;
  • Financial assets measured at FVPL;
  • Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, or FVOCI, where cumulative gains or losses previously recognized are reclassified to profit or loss; and
  • Financial assets measured at FVOCI, where cumulative gains or losses previously recognized are not reclassified to profit or loss.

Contractual cash flows characteristics

In order for us to identify the measurement of our debt financial assets, a solely payments of principal and interest, or SPPI, test needs to be initially performed in order to determine whether the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Once a debt financial asset passed the SPPI test, business model assessment, which identifies our objective of holding the financial assets – hold to collect or hold to collect and sell, will be performed. If both of the conditions are met, the financial asset shall be measured either at FVOCI, if the business model is to hold to collect and sell, or amortized cost, if the business model is to hold to collect. Otherwise, it shall be measured at FVPL.

In making the assessment, we determine whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, i.e., interest includes consideration only for the time value of money, credit risk and other basic lending risks and costs associated with holding the financial asset for a particular period of time. In addition, interest can include a profit margin that is consistent with a basic lending arrangement. The assessment as to whether the cash flows meet the SPPI test is made in the currency in which the financial asset is denominated. Any other contractual terms that introduce exposure to risks or

F-18

volatility in the contractual cash flows that is unrelated to a basic lending arrangement, such as exposure to changes in equity prices or commodity prices, do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Business model

Our business model is determined at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. Our business model does not depend on management’s intentions for an individual instrument.

Our business model refers to how we manage our financial assets in order to generate cash flows. Our business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets or neither.

Financial assets at amortized cost

These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate, or EIR, method, less any impairment in value. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortization is included in ‘Other expenses – net’ in our consolidated income statements and is calculated by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, except for (i) purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets and (ii) financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, where, in both cases, the EIR is applied to the amortized cost of the financial asset. Losses arising from impairment are recognized in ‘Asset impairment’ in our consolidated income statements.

Our financial assets at amortized cost include debt instruments at amortized cost, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, and other financial assets as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 12 – Debt Instruments at Amortized Cost, Note 15 – Cash and Cash Equivalents, Note 16 – Trade and Other Receivables and Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Financial assets at FVPL

Financial assets at FVPL are measured at fair value. Included in this classification are derivative financial assets not used for hedging, equity investments held for trading and debt instruments with contractual terms that do not represent solely payments of principal and interest. Financial assets held at FVPL are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs recognized in our consolidated income statements as incurred. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value and any gains or losses are recognized in our consolidated income statements.

Additionally, even if the asset meets the amortized cost or the FVOCI criteria, we may choose at initial recognition to designate the financial asset at FVPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (an accounting mismatch) that would otherwise arise from measuring financial assets on a different basis.

Trading gains or losses are calculated based on the results arising from trading activities of the PLDT Group, including all gains and losses from changes in fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL, and the gains or losses from disposal of financial investments.

Our financial assets at FVPL include derivative financial assets not used for hedging and equity investments as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVPL, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for the following:

  • Financial liabilities measured at FVPL;

  • Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when we retain continuing involvement;

  • Financial guarantee contracts;

    F-19

  • Commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate; and

  • Contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in accordance with IFRS 3.

A financial liability may be designated at FVPL if it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (an accounting mismatch) or:

  • If a host contract contains one or more embedded derivatives; or
  • If a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and liabilities is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Where a financial liability is designated at FVPL, changes in fair value attributable to our own credit quality which is calculated by determining the changes in credit spreads above observable market interest rates are recognized in other comprehensive income, unless this treatment would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch, in which case they are recognized in profit or loss.

Our financial liabilities at FVPL include derivative financial liabilities not used for hedging and liability from redemption of preferred stock as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 19 – Equity – Redemption of Preferred Stock, Note 23 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities and Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Our financial liabilities at amortized costs include interest-bearing financial liabilities, lease liabilities, customers’ deposits, dividends payable, certain accounts payable, certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities and certain deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities, (except for statutory payables) as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 10 – Leases, Note 20 – Interest-bearing Financial Liabilities, Note 21 – Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities, Note 22 – Accounts Payable, Note 23 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities and Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Reclassifications of financial instruments

We reclassify our financial assets when, and only when, there is a change in the business model for managing the financial assets. Reclassifications shall be applied prospectively, and any previously recognized gains, losses or interest shall not be restated.

We do not reclassify our financial assets when:

  • A financial asset that was previously a designated and effective hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge no longer qualifies as such;
  • A financial asset becomes a designated and effective hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge; and
  • There is a change in measurements on credit exposures measured at FVPL.

We do not reclassify our financial liabilities.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. We assess that it has a currently enforceable right of offset if the right is not contingent on a future event and is legally enforceable in the normal course of business, event of default, and event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group and all of the counterparties.

Impairment of Financial Assets

We recognize expected credit losses, or ECL for debt instruments that are measured at amortized cost and FVOCI.

No ECL is recognized on financial assets at FVPL.

ECLs are measured in a way that reflects the following:

  • An unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;

  • The time value of money; and

    F-20

  • Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Financial assets migrate through the following three stages based on the change in credit quality since initial recognition:

Stage 1: 12-month ECL – not credit-impaired

For credit exposures where there have not been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition and that are not credit-impaired upon origination, the portion of lifetime ECLs representing the ECLs that result from all possible default events within the 12-months after the reporting date are recognized.

Stage 2: Lifetime ECL – not credit-impaired

For credit exposures where there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition on an individual or collective basis but are not credit-impaired, lifetime ECLs representing the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial asset are recognized.

Stage 3: Lifetime ECL – credit-impaired

Financial assets are credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of those financial assets have occurred. For these credit exposures, lifetime ECLs are recognized and interest revenue is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted EIR to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

Loss Allowances

Loss allowances are recognized based on 12-month ECL for debt instruments that are assessed to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A financial asset is considered to have low credit risk if:

  • The financial instrument has a low risk of default;
  • The counterparty has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term; and
  • Adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the counterparty to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations.

We consider a debt instrument to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade’, or when the exposure is less than 30 days past due.

The loss allowances recognized in the period is impacted by a variety of factors, as described below:

  • Transfers between Stage 1 and Stage 2 and 3 due to the financial instruments experiencing significant increases (or decreases) of credit risk or becoming credit-impaired in the period, and the consequent “step up” (or “step down”) between 12-month and lifetime ECL;
  • Additional allowances for new financial instruments recognized during the period, as well as releases for financial instruments derecognized in the period;
  • Impact on the measurement of ECL due to changes in probability of defaults, or PDs, loss given defaults, or LGDs, and exposure at defaults, or EADs, in the period, arising from regular refreshing of inputs to models;
  • Impacts on the measurement of ECL due to changes made to models and assumptions;
  • Unwinding of discount within ECL due to passage of time, as ECL is measured on a present value basis; and
  • Financial assets derecognized during the period and write-offs of allowances related to assets that were written off during the period.

Write-off Policy

We write off a financial asset measured at amortized cost, in whole or in part, when the asset is considered uncollectible, and we have exhausted all practical recovery efforts and concluded that we have no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. We write off an account when all of the following conditions are met:

  • The asset is past due for over 90 days, or is already an item-in-litigation with any of the following:

  • No properties of the counterparty could be attached

    F-21

  • The whereabouts of the client cannot be located

  • It would be more expensive for the Group to follow-up and collect the amount, hence we have ceased enforcement activity, and

  • Collections can no longer be made due to insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty;

  • Expanded credit arrangement is no longer possible;

  • Filing of legal case is not possible; and

  • The account has been classified as ‘Loss’.

Simplified Approach

The simplified approach, where changes in credit risk are not tracked and loss allowances are measured at amounts equal to lifetime ECL, is applied to ‘Trade and other receivables’ and ‘Contract assets’. We have established a provision matrix for billed trade receivables and a vintage analysis for contract assets and unbilled trade receivables that is based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or where applicable as part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized when: (1) the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired; or (2) we have transferred the right to receive cash flows from the asset or have assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either: (a) we have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or (b) we have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but have transferred control of the asset.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in consolidated income statements.

The financial liability is also derecognized when equity instruments are issued to extinguish all or part of the financial liability. The equity instruments issued are recognized at fair value if it can be reliably measured, otherwise, it is recognized at the fair value of the financial liability extinguished. Any difference between the fair value of the equity instruments issued and the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished is recognized in consolidated income statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

We use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency options and forward currency contracts to hedge its risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

The fair value of foreign currency options and forward currency contracts is determined using applicable valuation techniques. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the period that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to the “Other income (expense) – Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments – net” in our consolidated income statements.

F-22

Cash flow hedges which meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in our consolidated income statements. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities for more details.

Amounts taken to other comprehensive income are transferred to our consolidated income statements when the hedged transaction affects our consolidated income statements, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast transaction occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts taken to other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to our consolidated income statements. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income remain in other comprehensive income until the forecast transaction or firm commitment occurs.

We use a long-term foreign currency options agreement to hedge our foreign exchange exposure on certain outstanding loan balances. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, except for land, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value. The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the property and equipment to its working condition and location for its intended use. Such cost includes the cost of replacing component parts of the property and equipment when the cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, we recognize such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciate them accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the property and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repairs and maintenance costs are recognized as expenses as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the asset after use is included in the cost of the asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.

Depreciation commences once the property and equipment are available for their intended use and are calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used in depreciating our property and equipment are disclosed in Note 9 – Property and Equipment.

The residual values, the estimated useful lives, and methods of depreciation are reviewed at least at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of property and equipment and any significant part initially recognized are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in our consolidated income statements when the asset is derecognized.

Property under construction is stated at cost less any impairment in value. This includes the cost of construction, property and equipment not ready for internal use, capitalizable borrowing costs and other direct costs associated with construction. Property under construction is not depreciated until such time that the relevant assets are completed and available for its intended use.

Property under construction is transferred to the related property and equipment when the construction or installation and related activities necessary to prepare the property and equipment for their intended use have been completed, and the property and equipment are ready for operational use.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

F-23

Asset Retirement Obligations

We are legally required under various lease agreements to dismantle the installation on leased sites and restore such sites to their original condition at the end of the contract lease term. We recognize the liability measured at the present value of the estimated costs of these obligations and capitalize such costs as part of the balance of the related item of property and equipment and right-of-use asset. The amount of asset retirement obligations is accreted and such accretion is recognized as interest expense. See Note 10 – Leases and Note 21 – Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost on initial recognition. The cost of intangible assets acquired from business combinations is initially recognized at fair value on the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed at the individual asset level as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the economic useful life using the straight-line method and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. At the minimum, the amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in our consolidated income statements.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the CGU level. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

The estimated useful lives used in amortizing our intangible assets are disclosed in Note 14 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in our consolidated income statements when the asset is derecognized.

Internally generated intangibles are not capitalized, and the related expenditures are charged against operations in the period in which the expenditures are incurred.

Investment Properties

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, including the corresponding tax effect. Fair values are determined based on an annual valuation performed by accredited external independent valuers applying a valuation model.

Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss in the period of derecognition. In determining the amount of consideration from the derecognition of investment property, we consider the effects of variable consideration, existence of a significant financing component, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the buyer (if any).

Transfers are made to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use.

For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use.

If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, we account for such property in accordance with IAS 16, Property and Equipment. The difference between the carrying amount of the property in accordance with IAS 16 and its fair value is treated the same way as revaluation in accordance with IAS 16. Any resulting decrease in the carrying amount of the property is recognized in profit or loss. However, to the extent that an amount is included in revaluation surplus for that property, the decrease in recognized in other comprehensive income and reduces the revaluation surplus within equity. Any resulting increase in the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the increase reverses a previous

F-24

impairment loss for that property. The amount recognized in profit or loss does not exceed the amount needed to restore the carrying amount to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized. Any remaining part of the increase in carrying amount is recognized in other comprehensive income and increases the revaluation surplus within equity. On subsequent disposal of the investment property, the revaluation surplus included in equity may be transferred to retained earnings. The transfer from revaluation surplus to retained earnings is not made through profit or loss.

Inventories and Supplies

Inventories and supplies, which include cellular and landline phone units, materials, spare parts, terminal units and accessories, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs incurred in bringing inventories and supplies to its present location and condition are accounted for using the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value is determined by either estimating the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost to sell, or determining the prevailing replacement costs.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

We assess at each reporting period whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when the annual impairment testing for an asset is required, we make an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use, or VIU. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent from those of other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing the VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining the fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Impairment losses are recognized in our consolidated income statements.

For assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, we make an estimate of the recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in our consolidated income statements. After such reversal, the depreciation and amortization charges are adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining economic useful life.

The following assets have specific characteristics for impairment testing:

Property and equipment, right-of-use, or ROU, assets, and intangible assets with finite useful lives

For property and equipment and ROU assets, we assess impairment on the basis of impairment indicators such as evidence of internal obsolescence or physical damage. For intangible assets with finite useful lives, we assess for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. See Note 3 – Management’s Use of Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions – Impairment of non-financial assets, Note 9 – Property and Equipment, Note 10 – Leases and Note 14 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets.

Investments in associates and joint ventures

We determine at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that our investments in associates and joint ventures are impaired. If this is the case, the amount of impairment is calculated as the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in associates and joint ventures, and its carrying amount. The amount of impairment loss is recognized in our consolidated income statements. See Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures for further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets.

F-25

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU, or group of CGUs, to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU, or group of CGUs, is less than the carrying amount of the CGU, or group of CGUs, to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

See Note 3 – Management’s Use of Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions – Impairment of non-financial assets and Note 14 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets.

Intangible asset with indefinite useful life

Intangible asset with indefinite useful life is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually either individually or at the CGU level, as appropriate. We calculate the amount of impairment as being the difference between the recoverable amount of the intangible asset or the CGU, and its carrying amount and recognize the amount of impairment in our consolidated income statements. Impairment losses relating to intangible assets can be reversed in future periods.

See Note 3 – Management’s Use of Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions – Impairment of non-financial assets and Note 14 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets.

Fair Value Measurement

We measure financial instruments such as derivatives, financial assets at FVPL, assets classified as held-for-sale and -financial assets such as investment properties and pension plan assets, at fair value at each reporting date. The fair values of investment properties are disclosed in Note 13 – Investment Properties. The fair values of the pension plan assets are disclosed in Note 25 – Pension and Other Employee Benefits. The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: (i) in the principal market for the asset or liability; or (ii) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to us.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

We use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in our consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: (i) Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (ii) Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and (iii) Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in our consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, we determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

We determine the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as investment properties and unquoted FVPL financial assets, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operation.

F-26

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as investment properties. Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. At each reporting date, we analyze the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or reassessed as per our accounting policies. For this analysis, we verify the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation with the contracts and other relevant documents.

We, in conjunction with our external valuers, also compare the changes in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable. This includes a discussion of the major assumptions used in the valuations. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, we have determined the classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Revenues from contracts with customers

Our revenues are principally derived from providing the following telecommunications services: cellular voice, SMS and data services in the wireless business; and local exchange, international and national long distance, data and other network, and information and communications services in the fixed line business.

Services may be rendered separately or bundled with goods or other services. The specific recognition criteria are as follows:

i. Single Performance Obligation (POB) Contracts

Postpaid service arrangements include fixed monthly charges (including excess of consumable fixed monthly service fees) generated from cellular voice, short messaging services, or SMS, and data services through the postpaid plans of Smart from local exchange services primarily through landline and related services, and from fixed line and other network services primarily through broadband and leased line services, which we recognize on a straight-line basis over the customer’s subscription period. Services provided to postpaid subscribers are billed throughout the month according to the billing cycles of subscribers. Services availed by subscribers in addition to these fixed fee arrangements are charged separately at their stand-alone selling prices and recognized as the additional service is provided or as availed by the subscribers.

Prepaid service revenues arise from the proceeds from over-the-air reloading channels and prepaid cards are initially recognized as contract liability and realized upon actual usage of the airtime value for voice, SMS, mobile data and other VAS, prepaid unlimited and bucket-priced SMS and call subscriptions, net of bonus credits from load packages purchased, such as free additional call minutes, SMS, data allocation or airtime load, or upon expiration, whichever comes earlier.

We also consider recognizing revenue from the expected expiry of airtime load in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer if we expect to be entitled to that expired amount. If we do not expect to be entitled to an expired amount based on historical experience with the customers, then we recognize the expected expired amount as revenue when the likelihood of the prepaid customer exercising its remaining rights becomes remote.

Interconnection fees and charges arising from the actual usage of airtime value or subscriptions are recorded as incurred.

Revenue from international and national long-distance calls carried via our network is generally based on rates which vary with distance. Revenue from both wireless and fixed line long distance calls are recognized as the service is provided. In general, non-refundable upfront fees, such as activation fees, that do not relate to the transfer of a promised good or service, are deferred and recognized as revenue throughout the estimated average customer relationship period, and the related incremental costs incurred are similarly deferred and recognized as expense over the same period, if such costs generate or enhance resources of the entity and are expected to be recovered.

Activation fees for both voice and data services are also considered as a single performance obligation together with monthly service fees, recognized over the estimated average customer relationship period.

ii. Bundled Contracts

In revenue arrangements, which involve bundled sales of mobile devices and accessories (non-service component) and telecommunication services (service component), the total transaction price is allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of each distinct performance obligation. Stand-alone selling price is the price at which we sell the good or service separately to a customer. However, if goods or services are not currently offered separately, we use the adjusted market or cost-plus margin method to determine the stand-alone selling price to be used in the transaction price

F-27

allocation. We adjust the transaction price for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of the payment and delivery of goods or services do not coincide, effects of which are considered as containing a significant financing component.

Activation services and installation services for voice and data services that are not a distinct performance obligation are considered together with monthly voice and data services as a single performance obligation, recognized over the estimated average customer relationship period since the subscriber cannot benefit from the installation services on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the subscriber. The related incremental costs are recognized in the same manner in our consolidated income statements, if such costs are expected to be recovered. On the other hand, custom-built installation services provided to data services subscribers are considered a distinct separate performance obligation and is recognized when services are rendered.

Revenues from the sale of non-service component are recognized at the point in time when the goods are delivered while revenues from telecommunication services component are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period when the services are provided to subscribers.

Significant Financing Component

The non-service component included in contracts with customers have significant financing components considering the period between the time of the transfer of control over the mobile device and the customer’s payment of the price of the mobile device, which is more than one year.

The transaction price for such contracts is determined by discounting the amount of promised consideration using the appropriate discount rate. We concluded that there is a significant financing component for those contracts where the customer elects to pay in arrears considering the length of time between the transfer of mobile device to the customer and the customer’s payment, as well as the prevailing interest rates in the market adjusted with customer credit spread.

Customer Loyalty Program

Through our customer loyalty program called Giga Points, points are earned through subscription of promo, purchase of load, and payment of bill for postpaid subscribers. Points are also earned through other activities such as daily login in the Smart App. These points can be used to redeem items such as giga promos, bill rebates, content subscription, discounts, exclusive tickets, and more.

Our contract with customers for revenue-related activity includes a promise to provide future telco services or rights to third-party services in the form of earning points. We consider these revenue-related earnings as performance obligation and the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation. For earnings on non-revenue activity, we recognize a financial liability upon redemption of the points from third party partners.

We also offer PLDT Home Rewards. This customer loyalty program is available exclusively to active PLDT Home customers except for Home Biz and Corporate accounts which are not currently eligible for enrollment. Under this program, PLDT Home customers are granted points to incentivize customer-related activities. Points are earned thru enrollment, payment on time, upgrade, availment of VAS add-on etc.

iii. International and Domestic Long Distance Contracts

Interconnection revenues for call termination, call transit and network usages are recognized in the period in which the traffic occurs. Revenues related to local, long distance, network-to-network, roaming and international call connection services are recognized when the call is placed, or connection is provided, and the equivalent amounts charged to us by other carriers are recorded under interconnection costs in our consolidated income statements. Inbound revenue and outbound charges are based on agreed transit and termination rates with other foreign and local carriers.

Variable consideration

We assessed that a variable consideration exists in certain interconnection agreements where there is a monthly aggregation period and the rates applied for the total monthly traffic will depend on the total traffic for the month. We also consider whether contracts with carriers contain volume commitment or tiering arrangements whereby the rate being charged will change upon meeting certain volume of traffic. We estimate the amount of variable consideration to which we are entitled and included in the transaction price some or all of the amount of variable consideration estimated arising from these agreements, unless the impact is not material.

F-28

iv. Others

Revenues from VAS include streaming and downloading of games, music, video contents, loan services, messaging services, applications and other digital services which are only arranged for by us on behalf of third-party content providers. The amount of revenue recognized is net of content provider’s share in revenue. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon service availment. We act as an agent for certain VAS arrangements.

Revenue from server hosting, co-location services and customer support services are recognized over the period that the services are performed.

Subscriber Contract Costs

Costs to obtain a contract with customers, such as commission, and costs to fulfill the contract, such as installation and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) costs, are capitalized if we expect to recover those costs. These subscriber contract costs are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Subscriber contract costs are amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of goods and services to which the assets relates.

The amortization of costs to obtain and costs to fulfill are presented as part of general operating costs, and depreciation and amortization, respectively, in the consolidated income statements.

Impairment losses are recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the subscriber contract costs exceed the net of (i) remaining amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates, less (ii) any costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services that have not yet been recognized as expenses.

The disclosures of significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions relating to revenues from contracts with customers are provided in Note 3 – Management’s Use of Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions – Identifying performance obligations.

Cost of Devices, Accessories and Contract-Specific Services

Cost of devices and accessories

This refers to the cost of devices such as mobile handsets, phone units, and broadband and data modems sold to subscribers.

Cost of contract-specific services

This refers to the costs from third-party vendors that are directly identifiable and distinct to specific customer contracts where we are the principal, such as content, license, and maintenance/warranty costs. Costs not identifiable and distinct to specific customer contracts such as compensation and benefits, and equipment depreciation are excluded.

Retirement Benefits

PLDT and certain of its subsidiaries are covered under Republic Act No. 7641 otherwise known as “The Philippine Retirement Law”.

Defined benefit pension plans

PLDT has separate and distinct retirement plans for itself and some of its Philippine-based operating subsidiaries, administered by the respective Funds’ Trustees, covering permanent employees. Retirement costs are separately determined using the projected unit credit method. This method reflects services rendered by employees to the date of valuation and incorporates assumptions concerning employees’ projected salaries.

Retirement costs consist of the following:

  • Service cost;
  • Net interest on the net defined benefit asset or obligation; and
  • Remeasurements of net defined benefit asset or obligation.

Service cost (which includes current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements) is recognized as part of “General operating costs – Compensation and employee benefits” account in our consolidated income statements. These amounts are calculated periodically by an independent qualified actuary.

F-29

Net interest on the net defined benefit asset or obligation is the change during the period in the net defined benefit asset or obligation that arises from the passage of time which is determined by applying the discount rate based on the government bonds to the net defined benefit asset or obligation. Remeasurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets (excluding net interest on defined benefit obligation) and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not classified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Net defined benefit asset is recognized as part of “Prepayments, and other nonfinancial assets - net of current portion” and net defined benefit obligation is recognized as part of “Pension and other employee benefits” in our consolidated statements of financial position.

The net defined benefit asset or obligation comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on government bonds, as explained in Note 3 – Management’s Use of Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions – Estimating pension benefit costs and other employee benefits), net of the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. Plan assets are assets held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies and are not available to our creditors nor can they be paid directly to us. Fair value is based on market price information and in the case of quoted securities, the published bid price and in the case of unquoted securities, the discounted cash flow using the income approach. The value of any defined benefit asset recognized is restricted to the asset ceiling which is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. See Note 25 – Pension and Other Employee Benefits – Defined Benefit Pension Plans for more details.

Defined contribution plans

Smart and certain subsidiaries maintain a defined contribution plan that covers all regular full-time employees under which it pays fixed contributions based on the employees’ monthly salaries and provide for qualified employees to receive a defined benefit minimum guarantee. The defined benefit minimum guarantee is equivalent to a certain percentage of the monthly salary payable to an employee at normal retirement age with the required credited years of service based on the provisions of Republic Act No. 7641.

Accordingly, Smart and certain subsidiaries account for its obligation under the higher of the defined benefit obligation related to the minimum guarantee and the obligation arising from the defined contribution plan.

For the defined benefit minimum guarantee plan, the liability is determined based on the present value of the excess of the projected defined benefit obligation over the projected defined contribution obligation at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by a qualified independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Smart and certain subsidiaries determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense (income) and other expenses (income) related to the defined benefit plan are recognized in our consolidated income statements.

Remeasurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest), and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

The defined contribution liability, on the other hand, is measured at the fair value of the defined contribution assets upon which the defined contribution benefits depend, with an adjustment for margin on asset returns, if any, where this is reflected in the defined contribution benefits.

When the benefits of the plan are changed or when the plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in our profit or loss. Gains or losses on the settlement of the defined benefit plan are recognized when the settlement occurs. See Note 25 – Pension and Other Employee Benefits – Defined Contribution Plans for more details.

Employee benefit costs include current service cost, past service cost, and net interest on the net defined benefit obligation, which are recognized in profit or loss. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit obligation, including actuarial gains and losses, are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.

The long-term employee benefit liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on government bonds) at the end of the reporting period and is determined using the projected unit credit method. See Note 25 – Pension and Other Employee Benefits – Other Long-term Employee Benefits for more details.

F-30

Leases

We assess at contract inception whether the contract is, or contains, a lease that is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.

As a Lessee. We apply a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. We recognize lease liabilities to make lease payments and ROU assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

  • ROU assets

We recognize ROU assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). ROU assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless it is reasonably certain that we obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life, or EUL, and the lease term. ROU assets are subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in impairment of non-financial assets section.

  • Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, we recognize lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option if reasonably certain to be exercised and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, we use the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

As a Lessor. Leases in which we do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in revenue in our consolidated income statements due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term as rental income.

Sale and Leaseback. If we transfer an asset to another entity (the buyer-lessor) and lease that asset back from the buyer-lessor, we account for the transfer contract and the lease by applying the requirements of IFRS 16. We first apply the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15 to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of that asset.

For transfer of an asset that satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, we measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by us. Accordingly, we recognize only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor.

If the transfer of an asset does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the asset, we continue to recognize the transferred asset and recognize a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds. We account for the financial liability applying IFRS 9.

Income Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the end of the reporting period where we operate and generate taxable income.

F-31

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in our consolidated income statements. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the end of reporting period.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except (a) where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or loss; and (b) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax, however, is not recognized when (a) it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or loss; and (b) in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable and measurable, they are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. On the other hand, contingent assets are not recognized in our consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Segment Information

PLDT and its subsidiaries are organized into three business segments. Such business segments are the bases upon which we report our primary segment information. Financial information on business segments is presented in Note 4 – Operating Segment Information.

Events After the End of the Reporting Period

Post reporting period events up to the date of approval of the Board of Directors that provide additional information about our financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Post reporting period events that are classified as non-adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements when material.

Equity

Preferred and common stocks are measured at par value for all shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of tax. Proceeds and/or fair value of considerations received in excess of par value are recognized as capital in excess of par value in our consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of financial position.

Treasury stocks are our own equity instruments which are reacquired and recognized at cost and presented as reduction in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in our consolidated income statements on the purchase, sale, reissuance or cancellation of our own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration upon reissuance or

F-32

cancellation of shares is recognized as capital in excess of par value in our consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of financial position.

Change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction and any difference between the amount by which the NCI is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity attributable to the owners of the parent in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

Retained earnings represent our net accumulated earnings less cumulative dividends declared.

Other comprehensive income comprises of income and expenses, including reclassification adjustments, that are not recognized in our consolidated income statements as required or permitted by IFRS Accounting Standards.

Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

Pronouncements issued but not yet effective are listed below. The PLDT Group intends to adopt the following pronouncements when they become effective. Unless otherwise indicated, adoption of these pronouncements is not expected to have a material impact on the PLDT Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective beginning on or after January 1, 2027

  • IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

The standard replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, introducing new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new.

The standard requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and it also includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes.

In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.

PLDT Group is currently working to identify all impacts the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the financial statements. The initial expected material impacts on PLDT Group’s financial statements are, as follows:

  • Change in fair value of investment properties and share in profit or loss of associates and joint ventures will be classified in the investing category within the statement of profit or loss.
  • Foreign exchange difference will be classified in the same category where the related income and expense from the item giving rising to the foreign exchange difference.
  • New disclosure will be added: (a) management-defined performance measures; and (b) a reconciliation for each line item in the statement of profit or loss between the restated amounts presented applying IFRS 18 and the amounts previously presented applying IAS 1.
  • Interest received and interest paid will be classified in the investing activities and financing activities, respectively, on the statement of cash flows.
  • IFRS 19, Subsidiaries without Public Accountability
  • Amendments to IAS 21, Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency
  • Amendments to IAS 28, Amendments to the Fair Value Option for Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

Effective beginning on or after January 1, 2029

  • IFRS 20, Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities

Deferred effectivity

  • Amendments to IFRS 10,Consolidated Financial Statements, and IAS 28, Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

  • Management’s Use of Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of each reporting period. The uncertainties inherent in these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or liabilities affected in the future years.

Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Judgments, key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period are consistent with those applied in the most recent annual financial statements. Selected critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are discussed below:

Judgments

In the process of applying our accounting policies, management has made judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Identifying performance obligations

We identify performance obligations by considering whether the promised goods or services in the contract are distinct goods or services. A good or service is distinct when the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and our promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from the other promises in the contract.

Revenues earned from multiple-deliverable arrangements offered by our fixed line and wireless businesses are split into separate identifiable performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling price in order to reflect the substance of the transaction. The transaction price represents the best evidence of stand-alone selling price for the services we offer since this is the observable price we charge if our services are sold separately. We account for customer contracts in accordance with IFRS 15 and have concluded that the service (telecommunication service) and non-service components (handset or equipment) may be accounted for as separate performance obligations. The handset or equipment is delivered first, followed by the telecommunication service (which is provided over the contract/lock-in period of two to three years). Revenues attributable to the separate performance obligations are based on the allocation of the transaction price relative to the stand-alone selling price.

Installation fees for voice and data services that are not custom-built for the subscribers are considered as a single performance obligation together with monthly service fees, recognized over the estimated average customer relationship period since the subscriber cannot benefit from the installation services on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the subscriber. On the other hand, installation fees of data services that are custom-built for the subscribers are considered as a separate performance obligation and is recognized upon completion of the installation services. Activation fees for both voice and data services are also considered as a single performance obligation together with monthly service fees, recognized over the estimated average customer relationship period.

Principal versus agent consideration

We enter into contracts with our customers involving multiple deliverable arrangements. We determined that we control the goods before they are transferred to customers, and we can direct the use of the inventory. The following factors indicate that we control the goods before they are being transferred to customers:

  • We are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified equipment;
  • We bear inventory risk on our inventory before it has been transferred to the customer; and
  • We have discretion in establishing the prices for the other party’s goods or services and, therefore, the benefit that we can receive from those goods or services is not limited. It is incumbent upon us to establish the price of our services to be offered to our subscribers.

Based on the foregoing, we are considered the principal in our contracts with other service providers except for certain VAS arrangements. We have a primary obligation to provide the services to the subscriber.

F-34

Timing of revenue recognition

We recognize revenues from contracts with customers over time or at a point in time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services and based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. For the telecommunication service which is provided over the contract period of two or more years, revenue is recognized monthly as we provide the service because control is transferred over time. For the device, which is sold at the inception of the contract, revenue is recognized at the time of delivery because control is transferred at a point in time.

Identifying methods for measuring progress of revenue recognized over time

We determine the appropriate method of measuring progress which is either using input or output methods. Input method recognizes revenue based on the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation while output method recognizes revenue based on direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date.

Revenue from telecommunication services is recognized using input method wherein recognition is over time based on the customer subscription period since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the seller renders the services.

Significant financing component

We concluded that the handset component included in contracts with customers has a significant financing component considering the period between the time of the transfer of control over the handset and the customer’s payment of the price of the handset, which is more than one year.

In determining the interest to be applied to the amount of consideration, we concluded that the interest rate is the market interest rate adjusted with credit spread to reflect the customer credit risk that is commensurate with the rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between us and our customer at contract inception.

Estimation of stand-alone selling price

We assessed that the service and non-service components represent separate performance obligations. Thus, the amount of revenues should be recognized based on the allocation of the transaction price to the different performance obligations based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling price is the price at which we sell the goods or services separately to a customer. However, if goods or services are not currently offered separately, we use the adjusted market or cost-plus margin method to determine the stand-alone selling price to be used in the revenue allocation.

Financial Instruments

Evaluation of business models in managing financial instruments

We determine our business model at the level that best reflects how we manage groups of financial assets to achieve our business objectives. Our business model is not assessed on an instrument-by-instrument basis, but on a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as:

  • How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the entity’s key management personnel;
  • The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed; and
  • The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of our assessment.

The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking ‘worst case’ or ‘stress case’ scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realized in a way that is different from our original expectations, we do not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward.

We have determined that for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, investment in debt securities and other long-term investments, and trade and other receivables, the business model is to collect the contractual cash flows until maturity.

IFRS 9, however, emphasizes that if more than an infrequent number of sales are made out of a portfolio and those sales are more than insignificant in value, of financial assets carried at amortized cost, we should assess whether and how such sales are consistent with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows.

F-35

Definition of default and credit-impaired financial assets

We define a financial instrument as in default, which is fully aligned with the definition of credit-impaired, when it meets one or more of the following criteria:

  • Quantitative criteria

For trade receivables and all other financial assets subject to impairment, default occurs when the receivable becomes 90 days past due, except for trade receivables from corporate subscribers, which are determined to be in default when the receivables become 120 days past due.

  • Qualitative criteria

The counterparty meets unlikeliness to pay criteria, which indicates the counterparty is in significant financial difficulty. These are instances where:

  • The counterparty is experiencing financial difficulty or is insolvent;
  • The counterparty is in breach of financial covenant(s);
  • An active market for that financial asset has disappeared because of financial difficulties;
  • Concessions have been granted by us, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the counterparty’s financial difficulty;
  • It is becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; and
  • Financial assets are purchased or originated at a deep discount that reflects the credit losses incurred.

The criteria above have been applied to all financial instruments, except FVPL, held by us and are consistent with the definition of default used for internal credit risk management purposes. The default definition has been applied consistently to the ECL models throughout our expected loss calculation.

Significant increase in credit risk

At each reporting date, we assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for financial assets since initial recognition by comparing the risk of default occurring over the expected life between the reporting date and the date of initial recognition. We consider reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort for this purpose. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and forward-looking analysis.

An exposure will migrate through the ECL stages as asset quality deteriorates. If, in a subsequent period, asset quality improves and also reverses any previously assessed significant increase in credit risk since origination, then the loss allowance measurement reverts from lifetime ECL to 12-month ECL.

Using our judgment and, where possible, relevant historical experience, we may determine that an exposure has undergone a significant increase in credit risk based on particular qualitative indicators that we consider are indicative of such and whose effect may not otherwise be fully reflected in its quantitative analysis on a timely basis.

As a backstop, we consider that a significant increase in credit risk occurs no later than when an asset is more than 30 days past due. Days past due are determined by counting the number of days since the earliest due date elapsed in respect of which full payment has not been received. Due dates are determined without considering any grace period that might be available to the counterparty.

Exposures that have not deteriorated significantly since their origination, or where the deterioration remains within our investment grade criteria, or which are less than 30 days past due, are considered to have a low credit risk. The provision for credit losses for these financial assets is based on a 12-month ECL. The low credit risk exemption has been applied on debt investments that meet the investment grade criteria of the PLDT Group.

F-36

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Company as a Lessee

We apply a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of ‘low-value’ assets. See Section Leases for the accounting policy.

We determine the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any period covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any period covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

We, as the lessee, have the option under some of our lease agreements to lease the assets for additional terms. We apply judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, we consider all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for us to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, we reassess the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within our control and affects our ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., a change in business strategy).

We included the renewal period as part of the lease term for leases such as sites, leased circuits and poles due to the significance of these assets to our operations. These leases have a non-cancellable period (i.e., one to 30 years) and there will be a significant negative effect on our provision of services if a replacement is not readily available. Furthermore, the periods covered by termination options are included as part of the lease term only when they are reasonably certain not to be exercised.

See Note 10 – Leases for information on potential future payments relating to periods following the exercise date of extension and termination options that are not included in the lease term.

Sale and Leaseback of Telecom Towers

The accounting for sale and leaseback transaction depends on whether the transfer of the asset qualifies as a sale. We applied judgment to determine whether the transfer of asset is accounted for as a sale based on the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15. We also applied estimates and judgment in determining many aspects, among others, the passive telecom assets and land lease as unit of accounts, the fair value of the towers sold, the measurement of the ROU assets retained by us and determining an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Assets classified as held-for-sale

The criteria for held-for-sale classification are regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn.

Smart and DMPI entered into sale and purchase agreements with certain tower companies in connection with the sale of telecom towers and related passive telecom infrastructure. The closing of the agreements is on a staggered basis depending on the satisfaction of closing conditions based on the number of towers transferred. Following the completion of the initial transaction with tower companies, Smart and DMPI plan to proceed with the sale of additional telecom towers and related passive infrastructure within a year. With these agreements, we believe that certain conditions were met that qualified the related assets to be reclassified as held-for-sale.

See related discussion in Note 9 – Property and Equipment and Note 10 – Leases.

Accounting for investments in MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., or MediaQuest, through Philippine Depositary Receipts, or PDRs

ePLDT made various investments in PDRs issued by MediaQuest in relation to its direct interest in Satventures, Inc., or Satventures, and indirect interest in Cignal TV, Inc., or Cignal TV.

Based on our judgment, at the PLDT Group level, ePLDT’s investments in PDRs gives ePLDT a significant influence over Satventures and Cignal TV as evidenced by provision of essential technical information and material transactions among PLDT, Smart, Satventures and Cignal TV, and thus are accounted for as investments in associates using the equity method.

See related discussion in Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Investments in Associates – Investment of ePLDT in MediaQuest PDRs.

F-37

Accounting for investment of PCEV in Maya Bank, Inc., or Maya Bank

The shareholders’ agreement of Voyager Finserve Corporation, or VFC, and Paymaya Finserve Corporation, or PFC, (collectively known as the Bank HoldCos) requires affirmative vote of at least one director nominated by both PCEV and Maya Innovations Holdings, Pte. Ltd. (MIH) to direct the relevant activities of the Bank HoldCos. The Bank HoldCos were incorporated for the sole purpose of holding shares or equity investments in Maya Bank. Because of the contractual arrangement between the parties, the investments in the Bank HoldCos are accounted for as joint venture.

Accounting for investments in Vega Telecom Inc., or VTI, Bow Arken Holdings Company, or Bow Arken, and Brightshare Holdings, Inc., or Brightshare

PLDT acquired a 50% equity interest in each of VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare on May 30, 2016. Based on the Memorandum of Agreement, PLDT and Globe Telecom, Inc., or Globe, each has the right to appoint half the members of the Board of Directors of each of VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare, as well as the (i) co-Chairman of the Board; (ii) co-Chief Executive Officer and President; and (iii) co-Controller where any matter requiring their approval shall be deemed passed or approved if the consents of both co-officers holding the same position are obtained. All decisions of each Board of Directors may only be approved if at least one director nominated by each of PLDT and Globe votes in favor of it.

Based on these rights, PLDT and Globe have joint control over VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare, which is defined in IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, as a contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement and exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Consequently, PLDT and Globe classified the joint arrangement as a joint venture in accordance with IFRS 11 given that PLDT and Globe each have the right to 50% of the net assets of VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare and their respective subsidiaries.

Accordingly, PLDT accounted for the investment in VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare using the equity method of accounting in accordance with IAS 28. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the investor’s share of the investee’s net assets. See Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Investment in Joint Ventures – Investments of PLDT in VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare.

Material partly-owned subsidiaries

Our consolidated financial statements include additional information about subsidiaries that have non-controlling interest, or NCI, that are material to us. See Note 6 – Components of Other Comprehensive Loss. We determined material partly-owned subsidiaries as those with balance of NCI greater than 5% of the total equity as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Material associates and joint ventures

Our consolidated financial statements include additional information about associates and joint ventures that are material to us. See Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. We determined material associates and joint ventures are those investees where our carrying amount of investments is greater than 5% of the total investments in associates and joint ventures as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Determining Taxable Profit, Tax Bases, Unused Tax Losses, Unused Tax Credits and Tax Rates

We assess whether we have any uncertain tax position and apply significant judgment in identifying uncertainties over our income tax treatments. We determined based on our assessment that it is probable that our income tax treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation authorities.

Estimates and Assumptions

The key estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in our consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below. We based our estimates and assumptions on parameters available when our consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond our control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Subscriber contract costs

Subscriber contract costs are costs to obtain (i.e., commissions) and costs to fulfill (i.e., installation and CPE costs) in relation to the services we provide to our subscribers. We assessed that these subscriber contract costs are incremental in obtaining and fulfilling our performance obligations. Accordingly, we capitalized subscriber contract costs and amortized as expense over the average customer relationship period.

F-38

We apply judgment to estimate the amortization period of subscriber contract costs. As at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated useful lives of the subscriber contract costs would range from six to seven years. Further details on subscriber contract costs are disclosed in Note 18 – Prepayments and Other Non-Financial Assets.

Leases – Estimating the incremental borrowing rate, or IBR

In calculating the present value of lease payments, we use the IBR at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. IBR is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment.

We use benchmark rates from partner banks based on the tenor of our loan borrowings plus a spread adjustment based on our credit worthiness. See Note 10 – Leases and Note 21 – Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities.

Impairment of non-financial assets

IAS 36 requires that an impairment review be performed when certain impairment indicators are present. In the case of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life, at a minimum, such assets are subject to an impairment test annually and whenever there is an indication that such assets may be impaired. This requires an estimation of the VIU of the CGUs to which these assets are allocated. The VIU calculation requires us to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the CGU and to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. See Note 14 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Impairment Testing of Goodwill for the key assumptions used to determine the VIU of the relevant CGUs.

Determining the recoverable amount of property and equipment, ROU assets, investments in associates and joint ventures, goodwill and intangible assets, prepayments and other noncurrent assets, requires us to make estimates and assumptions in the determination of future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such assets. Future events could cause us to conclude that property and equipment, ROU assets, investments in associates and joint ventures, goodwill and intangible assets, and prepayments and other noncurrent assets associated with an acquired business are impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and financial performance.

The preparation of estimated future cash flows involves significant estimations and assumptions of future market conditions. While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in our assumptions may materially affect our assessment of recoverable values and may lead to future impairment charges.

See Note 4 – Operating Segment Information, Note 5 – Income and Expenses – Asset Impairment, and Note 9 – Property and Equipment.

The carrying values of our property and equipment, ROU assets, investments in associates and joint ventures, goodwill and intangible assets, and prepayments and other non-financial assets are separately disclosed in Note 9 – Property and Equipment, Note 10 – Leases, Note 11 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, Note 14 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 18 – Prepayments and Other Non-Financial Assets, respectively.

Estimating useful lives of property and equipment

We estimate the useful lives of each item of our property and equipment based on the periods over which our assets are expected to be available for use. Our estimation of the useful lives of our property and equipment is also based on our collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful lives of each asset are reviewed at least every year-end and updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limitations on the use of our assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of our property and equipment would increase our recorded depreciation and decrease the carrying amount of our property and equipment.

In 2025, based on the internal technical evaluation and assessment of industry practice, PLDT reassessed the EUL of International and Domestic submarine cable systems from 15 years to 25 years, resulting in a reduction in depreciation expense amounting to Php748 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Conversely, the EUL of certain submarine network cables decreased due to aging and performance issues, resulting in additional depreciation expense of Php237 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Php30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

F-39

PLDT and Smart also recognized additional depreciation expense amounting to Php744 million and Php5,560 million respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025, due to modernization of core network equipment and IT assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, additional depreciation expense of Php124 million and Php497 million, was recognized by PLDT and Smart, respectively.

Furthermore, Smart recognized additional depreciation expense of Php215 million upon the expiration of its lease in 2025 and the consequent termination of use of and move out from the related office premises. It also recognized additional depreciation, pertaining to some equipment that remained at the site, amounting to Php17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Overall, the total depreciation and amortization of property and equipment amounted to Php19,546 million and Php17,887 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total carrying values of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, amounted to Php327,142 million and Php327,989 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 4 – Operating Segment Information and Note 9 – Property and Equipment.

Investment Properties

We carry our investment properties at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognized in the consolidated income statements and in other comprehensive income for transfers from owner-occupied property to investment property. The fair values of the investment properties have been determined based on appraisal performed by independent firms of appraisers, who are industry specialists in valuing these types of investment properties.

The valuation for land is based on a market approach valuation technique while the valuation for building and land improvements is based on a cost approach valuation technique using current material and labor costs for improvements based on external and independent reviewers. See Note 13 – Investment Properties.

Recognition of deferred income tax assets

We review the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at the end of each reporting period and reduce these to the extent that these are no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Our assessment on the recognition of deferred income tax assets on deductible temporary differences is based on the level and timing of forecasted taxable income of the subsequent reporting years. This forecast is based on our past results and future expectations on revenues and expenses as well as future tax planning strategies. Based on this, management expects that we will generate sufficient taxable income to allow all or part of our deferred income tax assets to be utilized.

Based on the above assessment, our consolidated unrecognized deferred income tax assets amounted to Php918 million and Php934 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Total consolidated provision for deferred income tax amounted to Php1,834 million and Php3,171 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total consolidated recognized net deferred income tax assets amounted to Php9,591 million and Php11,461 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 4 – Operating Segment Information and Note 7 – Income Taxes.

Estimating allowance for ECLs

  • Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are derived from unbiased and probability-weighted estimates of expected loss, and are measured as follows:

  • Financial assets that are not credit-impaired at the reporting date: as the present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial asset discounted by the EIR. The cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows due to us in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that we expect to receive; and
  • Financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date: as the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted by the EIR.

We leverage existing risk management indicators (e.g., internal credit risk classification and restructuring triggers), credit risk rating changes and reasonable and supportable information which allow us to identify whether the credit risk of financial assets has significantly increased.

F-40

  • Inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques
  • General approach for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, debt securities, and advances and other noncurrent assets

The ECL is measured on either a 12-month or lifetime basis depending on whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred since initial recognition. We consider the probability of our counterparty to default on its obligation and the expected loss at default after considering the effects of collateral, any potential value when realized and time value of money. Based on our assessment, there is no significant increase in credit risk and the ECL for these financial assets under a general approach is measured on a 12-month basis.

The assumptions underlying the ECL calculation are monitored and reviewed on a quarterly basis.

  • Simplified approach for trade and other receivables and contract assets

The simplified approach does not require the tracking of changes in credit risk, but instead requires the recognition of lifetime ECL. For trade receivables and contract assets, we use the simplified approach for calculating ECL. We have considered similarities in underlying credit risk characteristics and behavior in determining the groupings of various customer segments.

We used historically observed default rates and adjusted these historical credit loss experiences with forward-looking information. At every reporting date, the historical default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.

There have been no significant changes in the estimation techniques used for calculating ECL on trade and other receivables and contract assets.

  • Incorporation of forward-looking information

We incorporated forward-looking information into both our assessment of whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased significantly since its initial recognition and our measurement of ECL.

To do this, management considered a range of relevant forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions and probability weights for the determination of unbiased general industry adjustments and any related specific industry adjustments that support the calculation of ECLs.

The macroeconomic factors are aligned with information used by us for other purposes such as strategic planning and budgeting.

The probability weights used in the calculation of ECLs cover a range of possible outcomes based on the current and projected economic conditions.

We have identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses of each portfolio of financial instruments and, using an analysis of historical data, has estimated relationships between macroeconomic variables and credit risk and credit losses.

Predicted relationship between the key indicators and default and loss rates on various portfolios of financial assets have been developed based on analyzing historical data over the past three to eight years. The methodologies and assumptions, including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly.

Due to lack of reasonable and supportable information, we have not identified any uncertain event that was assessed to be relevant to the risk of default occurring, thus we are not able to estimate the impact on ECL.

Total provision for expected credit losses for trade and other receivables amounted to Php1,831 million and Php1,926 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Trade and other receivables, net of allowance for expected credit losses, amounted to Php35,393 million and Php31,367 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 5 – Income and Expenses and Note 16 – Trade and Other Receivables.

Total impairment losses on contract assets amounted to Php56 million and Php69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Contract assets, net of allowance for expected credit losses, amounted to Php1,459 million and Php1,487 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 5 – Income and Expenses – Contract Balances.

F-41

  • Grouping of instruments for losses measured on collective basis

A broad range of forward-looking information was considered as economic inputs such as the gross domestic product, or GDP, inflation rate, unemployment rates, export rates, The Group of Twenty, or G20 GDP and G20 inflation rates. For expected credit loss provisions modelled on a collective basis, grouping of exposures is performed on the basis of shared risk characteristics, such that risk exposures within a group are homogeneous. In performing this grouping, there must be sufficient information for the PLDT Group to be statistically acceptable. Where sufficient information is not available internally, then we have considered benchmarking internal/external supplementary data to use for modelling purposes. The characteristics and any supplementary data used to determine groupings are outlined below.

Trade receivables – Groupings for collective measurement

  • Retail subscribers;
  • Corporate subscribers;
  • Foreign administrations and domestic carriers; and
  • Dealers, agents and others

The following credit exposures are assessed individually:

  • All stage 3 assets, regardless of the class of financial assets; and
  • The cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, investment in debt securities and other financial assets.

Estimating pension benefit costs and other employee benefits

The cost of defined benefit and present value of the pension obligation are determined using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation includes making various assumptions which consist, among other things, of discount rates, rates of compensation increases and mortality rates. Further, our accrued benefit cost is affected by the fair value of the plan assets. Key assumptions used to estimate fair value of the unlisted equity investments included in the plan assets consist of revenue growth rate, direct costs, capital expenditures, discount rates and terminal growth rates. See Note 25 – Pension and Other Employee Benefits. Due to complexity of valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in our actual experience or significant changes in our assumptions may materially affect our cost for pension and other retirement obligations. All assumptions are reviewed every year-end.

The net consolidated pension benefit costs amounted to Php776 million and Php747 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The prepaid benefit costs amounted to Php912 million and Php810 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The accrued benefit costs amounted to Php4,025 million and Php3,810 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 5 – Income and Expenses – Compensation and Employee Benefits, Note 18 – Prepayments and Note 25 – Pension and Other Employee Benefits.

Long-term Incentive Plan, LTIP

The Executive Compensation Committee (ECC) of the PLDT Board of Directors approved the LTIP covering the years 2022 to 2026, on December 23, 2021. It covers two cycles and is intended to provide incentive compensation in the form of cash to key officers, executives and other eligible participants who are consistent performers, compliant with codes of conduct and contributors to our strategic and financial goals, with defined metrics based on the achievement of telco core income, customer experience and sustainability. The target metrics for sustainability are expected to capture the Company’s performance in various ESG materiality areas, including but not limited to, climate action such as initiatives to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, employee and customer welfare, diversity and inclusion, cybersecurity and data privacy, and business ethics. Cycle 1 covered the performance period from 2022 to 2024 and was settled in 2025 based on the achievement of performance targets. Cycle 2, which is intended to cover the performance period from 2025 to 2026, is still subject to the ECC’s evaluation. Accordingly, there were no expense and incentive payable accrued as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 25 – Pension and Other Employee Benefits – Other Long-term Employee Benefits.

Provision for asset retirement obligations

Provision for asset retirement obligations is recognized in the period in which this is incurred if a reasonable estimate can be made. This requires an estimation of the cost to restore or dismantle on a per square meter basis, depending on the location, and is based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the future restoration or dismantlement date, discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. Total provision for asset retirement obligations amounted to Php901 million and Php868 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 21 – Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities.

Provision for legal contingencies and tax assessments

We are currently involved in various legal proceedings and tax assessments. Our estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims have been developed in consultation with our counsel handling the defense in these matters and are based upon our analysis of potential results. Based on management’s assessment, appropriate provisions were made. We currently do not believe these proceedings could materially reduce our revenues and profitability. It is possible, however, that future financial position and performance could be materially affected by changes in our estimates or the effectiveness of our strategies relating to these proceedings and assessments. See Note 26 – Provisions and Contingencies.

Determination of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in our consolidated statements of financial position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Other than those whose carrying amounts are reasonable approximations of fair values, total fair values of noncurrent financial assets and noncurrent financial liabilities as at June 30, 2026 amounted to Php3,155 million and Php262,873 million, respectively, while the total fair values of noncurrent financial assets and noncurrent financial liabilities as at December 31, 2025 amounted to Php3,322 million and Php274,220 million, respectively. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

  • Operating Segment Information

Operating segments are components of the PLDT Group that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of PLDT Group). The operating results of these operating segments are regularly reviewed by the Executive Committee to make decisions about how resources are to be allocated to each of the segments and to assess their performances, and for which discrete financial information is available.

For management purposes, we are organized into business units based on our products and services. We have three reportable operating segments as follows:

  • Wireless – mobile telecommunications services provided by Smart and DMPI, our mobile service providers; and SBI and PDSI, our wireless broadband service providers;
  • Fixed Line – fixed line telecommunications services primarily provided by PLDT. We also provide fixed line services through PLDT’s subsidiaries, namely, ClarkTel, BCC and PLDT Global and certain subsidiaries; secure data center, multi-cloud, cybersecurity, data and artificial intelligence solutions through ePLDT and VITRO REIT Group; distribution of Filipino channels and content through PGNL and its subsidiaries; and software development and IT solutions provided by Multisys; and
  • Others – PCEV, PGIH, PLDT Digital and its subsidiaries, our investment companies.

See Note 2 – Summary of Material Accounting Policies for further discussion.

Segment revenues, segment expenses and segment results include transfers between business segments. These transfers are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

F-43

The amounts of segment assets and liabilities and segment profit or loss are based on measurement principles that are similar to those used in measuring the assets and liabilities and profit or loss in our consolidated financial statements, which is in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The segment revenues, net income, and other segment information of our reportable operating segments for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

In 2025, DMPI and VITRO REIT availed the OSD method in computing their taxable income. This assessment is based on projected taxable profits at a level where it is favorable to use OSD method. These companies are also expected to avail of the OSD method in the foreseeable future. Thus, certain deferred income tax assets of DMPI and VITRO REIT totaling to Php47 million and Php82 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were not recognized.

Our consolidated deferred income tax assets have been recorded to the extent that such consolidated deferred income tax assets are expected to be utilized against sufficient future taxable profit. Deferred income tax assets shown in the preceding table were not recognized as we believe that future taxable profit will not be sufficient to realize these deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess of MCIT over RCIT, and NOLCO in the future.

The breakdown of our consolidated excess MCIT and NOLCO as at June 30, 2026 are as follows:

The excess MCIT totaling Php48 million as at June 30, 2026 can be deducted against future RCIT liability. No excess MCIT was deducted against RCIT for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

NOLCO totaling Php805 million as at June 30, 2026 can be claimed as deduction against future taxable income. The NOLCO claimed as deduction against taxable income amounted to Php57 million and Php707 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Republic Act No. 11494 Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, or Bayanihan II

Republic Act No. 11494, otherwise known as the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, or Bayanihan II, was signed by former President Rodrigo Duterte on September 11, 2020. It contains the government’s second wave of relief measures to address the health and economic crises that stemmed from the COVID-19 outbreak.

As part of mitigating the costs and losses stemming from the disruption of economic activities, Bayanihan II extended the carry-over of the NOLCO incurred in 2021 as deductions from gross income for the next five consecutive taxable years immediately following the year of the loss. Hence, NOLCO incurred in 2021 amounting to Php41 million, which ordinarily can be carried over until December 31, 2024, has been extended until December 31, 2026.

Registration with Clark Special Economic Zone

ClarkTel’s franchise expired on July 1, 2024. Prior to the expiration, ClarkTel’s Board of Directors applied for a national franchise. The franchise application has been filed and for evaluation of Congress as of report date. Considering the timeline for the national franchise grant, ClarkTel also applied for VAS license with the NTC to ensure continued services to subscribers. The license was approved on November 20, 2024 with a validity period of up to November 19, 2029.

ClarkTel is registered with Clark Special Economic Zone, or Economic Zones, under Republic Act No. 7227 otherwise known as the Bases Conversion and Development Act of 1992. As a registrant, ClarkTel is entitled to all the rights, privileges and benefits established thereunder including tax and duty-free importation of capital equipment and a special income tax rate of 5% of gross income, as defined in Republic Act No. 7227. These incentives are in effect until May 11, 2027 by virtue of a License to Operate issued by Clark Development Corporation.

Our consolidated income derived from non-registered activities within the Economic Zones is subject to the RCIT rate at the end of the reporting period.

BEPS 2.0 Pillar Two Impact Assessment

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has issued the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GLoBE) Model Rules (Pillar Two), which establish a 15% minimum effective tax rate on a jurisdictional basis. The rules apply to Multinational Enterprise (MNE) Groups with consolidated annual revenues of at least Euro 750 million in at least two (2) of the four (4) fiscal years immediately preceding the tested fiscal year. The Group is within the scope of the Pillar Two Model Rules. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Group has applied the amendment to IAS 12, Income Taxes, which provides a mandatory temporary exception from recognizing or disclosing deferred taxes related to Pillar Two.

The Pillar Two legislation has been enacted by some of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates effective for financial year beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Group has performed assessment of its potential exposure based on the 2025 financial information for the constituent entities in the Group. There are a limited number of jurisdictions where the Pillar Two effective tax rate is close to 15%. The Group does not expect a material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in those jurisdictions.

The Group continues to follow Pillar Two legislative developments, as further countries enact the Pillar Two model rules, to evaluate the potential future impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

  1. Earnings Per Common Share

The following table presents information necessary to calculate the EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Consolidated net income attributable to common equity holders of PLDT 16,417 16,417 17,443 17,443
(in thousands, except per share amounts which are in pesos)
Outstanding common shares at beginning of period 216,056 216,056 216,056 216,056
Weighted average number of common shares 216,056 216,056 216,056 216,056
EPS attributable to common equity holders of PLDT 75.99 75.99 80.73 80.73

F-55

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing our consolidated net income for the period attributable to common equity holders of PLDT (consolidated net income adjusted for dividends on all series of preferred shares), by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS amounts are calculated in the same manner assuming that, at the beginning of the year or at the time of issuance during the year, all outstanding options are exercised, convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares, and appropriate adjustments to our consolidated net income are effected for the related income and expenses on preferred shares. Outstanding stock options will have a dilutive effect only when the average market price of the underlying common share during the year exceeds the exercise price of the stock option.

Convertible preferred shares are deemed dilutive when required dividends declared on each series of convertible preferred shares divided by the number of equivalent common shares, assuming such convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares, decreases the basic EPS. As such, the diluted EPS is calculated by dividing our consolidated net income attributable to common shareholders (consolidated net income, adding back any dividends and/or other charges recognized for the year related to the dilutive convertible preferred shares classified as liability, less dividends on non-dilutive preferred shares) by the weighted average number of common shares excluding the weighted average number of common shares held as treasury shares, and including the common shares equivalent arising from the conversion of the dilutive convertible preferred shares.

Where the effect of the assumed conversion of the preferred shares and the exercise of all outstanding options has an anti-dilutive effect, basic and diluted EPS are stated at the same amount.

Sale and Leaseback of Telecom Towers

On various dates in 2022 and 2023, Smart and DMPI signed Sale and Purchase Agreements with Edotco Towers, Inc., Edgepoint Towers, Inc., Unity Digital Infrastructure and Frontier Tower Associates Philippines, Inc., or collectively the TowerCos, in connection with the sale of 7,569 telecom towers and related passive telecommunication infrastructure for Php98,309 million.

Concurrent with the execution of the Sale and Purchase Agreements, Smart also entered into Master Service Agreements, or MSAs, with the TowerCos wherein Smart agreed to lease back the towers sold in the transaction for a period of 10 years. In addition to space, the TowerCos are responsible for providing operations and maintenance services, as well as power to the sites. The sale and leaseback with the TowerCos is complemented by a commitment to place service orders for a total of 2,270 Build-To-Suit, or BTS, sites within the next two to four years. Thus, total committed BTS sites with the TowerCos is 2,270 sites. The closing of the agreements is on a staggered basis depending on the satisfaction of closing conditions based on the number of towers transferred.

The following summarizes the completed sale of Smart and DMPI telecom towers as at June 30, 2026:

We had total cash outflows for leases of Php7,835 million and Php6,944 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We had non-cash additions to ROU assets of Php5,376 million and Php20,808 million and lease liabilities of Php5,376 million and Php20,800 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The future cash outflows relating to leases that have not yet commenced are disclosed in Note 28 – Notes to the Statements of Cash Flows.

We have entered into several lease contracts that include automatic extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by us to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and aligning with our business needs. However, in some of these lease contracts, we did not impute the renewal period in our assessment of the lease terms of these contracts since said renewal period is not yet reasonably estimable at the time of transition or commencement date of the lease. See Note 3 – Managements Use of Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions – Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Company as a Lessee.

As disclosed in Note 9 – Property and Equipment, on the sale and leaseback of telecom towers, Smart and DMPI signed Sale and Purchase Agreements with the TowerCos in connection with the sale of 7,569 telecom towers and related passive telecom infrastructure, with the concurrent execution of MSAs with the TowerCos where Smart has agreed to lease back the towers sold in the transaction for a period of 10 years.

In 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the MSAs covering the leaseback arrangements of 4,665, 1,705, 356 and 89 telecom towers, respectively, became effective. As a result, we recognized cumulative lease liability of Php40,824 million and cumulative ROU assets of Php24,759 million as at December 31, 2025.

The ROU assets relating to leasehold land with net book value of Php2,329 million and Php2,258 million, and the related lease liabilities amounting to Php1,612 million and Php1,625 million were respectively reclassified as “Assets classified as held-for-sale” under current assets and “Liabilities associated with assets classified as held-for-sale” under current liabilities, respectively in our consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Common Tower Program Pilot, or CTP Pilot

The CTP Pilot, established by Smart in January 2020 in partnership with several TowerCos duly accredited by the DICT aims to accelerate new site rollouts and reduce upfront the capital expenditures spending.

Under the MSAs, TowerCos will handle site acquisition and permitting, site development works, construction and permanent electrification of the towers. Effective 30 days after the sites are Ready For Telecommunication Installation, or RFTI, Smart will be liable to settle a monthly fixed fee covering rental and maintenance costs for a contract term of 15 years. The monthly

F-61

fee will be subject to agreed escalation rates with TowerCos. As anchor tenant, Smart will also be entitled to colocation discounts when additional tenants come on board.

Investments in Joint Ventures

Investments of PLDT in VTI, Bow Arken and Brightshare

The Company’s acquisition of a 50% equity interest in the telecommunications business of San Miguel Corporation, or SMC, through the VTI, Bow Arken, and Brightshare Transactions (collectively, the SMC Transactions), was approved by the Board on May 30, 2016. Globe acquired the remaining 50%. PLDT and Globe executed separate Share Purchase Agreements to acquire the equity, outstanding advances, and assumed liabilities of these entities.

The total consideration of Php52.8 billion was paid in three tranches: 50% on May 30, 2016, 25% on December 1, 2016, and 25% on May 30, 2017. Under the agreements, PLDT and Globe, through VTI, Bow Arken, and Brightshare, also assumed liabilities amounting to Php17.2 billion from May 30, 2016, subject to a price adjustment mechanism. Following confirmatory due diligence, both parties paid the previous owners a net adjustment of Php2.6 billion on May 29, 2017.

As part of the SMC Transactions, PLDT and Globe also acquired certain outstanding advances from the previous owners, the largest of which amounted to Php11,359 million, comprising Php11,038 million from VTI and its subsidiaries, Php238 million from Bow Arken, and Php83 million from Brightshare.

PLDT and Globe each subscribed to preferred shares of VTI as follows: (a) February 28, 2017: 2.8 million preferred shares at Php4,000 per share (Php11,040 million per party), paid by applying assigned advances; (b) February 28, 2017: 800 thousand additional preferred shares at Php4,000 per share (Php3,200 million per party), with Php148 million paid in cash and the balance settled by year-end 2017; and (c) December 15, 2017: 600 thousand preferred shares at Php5,000 per share (Php3,000 million per party), partly paid in cash and the balance settled through conversion of advances.

All subscription payments were fully paid as at December 31, 2017.

Notice of Transaction filed with the PCC

Prior to the closing of the transaction on May 30, 2016, PLDT, Globe, and SMC each submitted separate notices to the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) covering the VTI, Bow Arken, and Brightshare transactions, respectively, pursuant to the Philippine Competition Act (PCA) and PCC Circular Nos. 16-001 and 16-002 (the “Circulars”). Under the Circulars, such transactions are deemed approved upon the PCC’s receipt of complete and compliant notices.

On June 6 and 7, 2016, the PCC informed the parties that: (a) with respect to the VTI transaction, the notice was deficient in form and substance and therefore not deemed approved, as key terms were allegedly missing and certain agreements potentially prohibited; and (b) with respect to the Bow Arken and Brightshare transactions, compulsory notification under the Circulars was inapplicable, and in any case, the notices were also deemed deficient.

In its response dated June 10, 2016, PLDT maintained that its notice was complete, sufficient, and compliant, and that the VTI transaction was therefore deemed approved under Section 23 of the PCA and not subject to retroactive review. PLDT further stated that the parties had taken measures to prevent any substantial lessening of competition, including the relinquishment and co-use of certain frequencies among Smart, BellTel, and Globe. For transparency, PLDT and the other parties voluntarily furnished the PCC with copies of the Sale and Purchase Agreements.

Despite this response, the PCC, in a letter dated June 17, 2016, required the parties to submit additional documents relating to the co-use arrangements and other definitive agreements, and disregarded the transaction’s deemed-approved status under the Circulars, indicating its intent to conduct a full review or investigation of the transaction.

In the Matter of the Petition against the PCC

PLDT’s Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition before the Court of Appeals (CA) against the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC), which challenged the PCC’s review of PLDT’s and Globe’s acquisition of SMC’s telecommunications business (the “SMC Transactions”), was decided by the CA in October 2017 in favor of PLDT and Globe. The CA permanently enjoined the PCC from conducting any pre-acquisition review or investigation, set aside the PCC’s letters directing such review, and declared the SMC Transactions “deemed approved” under the Philippine Competition Act and the PCC’s transitory rules. The CA, however, clarified that the PCC retained authority to conduct post-acquisition reviews to address any anti-competitive conduct.

The PCC elevated the case to the Supreme Court via a Petition for Review on Certiorari, which was consolidated with an earlier PCC petition to annul the CA’s writ of preliminary injunction. The Supreme Court proceedings have since involved multiple submissions and motions by the parties, and the consolidated petitions remain pending resolution.

The Supreme Court has not yet issued a final decision on the consolidated cases. The most recent action was the Court’s February 8, 2021 Resolution, noting the Consolidated Reply filed by petitioners in a related docket (G.R. No. 242352). No further order or resolution has been promulgated since. As of the date of this report, the matter remains pending before the Supreme Court.

Return of Capital from VTI

On September 2, 2025, the Board of Directors of VTI authorized to partially redeem a portion of its issued and outstanding redeemable preferred shares issued to PLDT and Globe consisting of an aggregate of 265,420 preferred shares (132,710 shares per party) at a redemption price of Php4 thousand per share or an aggregate redemption price of

F-67

Php1,062 million (Php531 million per party). Additionally, the Board of Directors of VTI agreed to return the deposits for future stock subscription in the amount of Php138 million (Php69 million per party) as it no longer desires to convert the said deposits into equity.

Investment properties, which consist of land, land improvements and building, are stated at fair values, which have been determined based on appraisal performed by independent firms of appraisers, who are industry specialists in valuing these types of investment properties.

The valuation for land was based on a market approach valuation technique using price per square meter. The valuation for building and land improvements was based on a cost approach valuation technique using current material and labor costs for improvements based on external and independent reviewers.

We have determined that the highest and best use of some of the idle or vacant land properties at the measurement date would be to convert the properties for residential or commercial development. The properties are not being used for strategic reasons.

We have no restrictions on the realizability of our investment properties and no contractual obligations to either purchase, construct or develop investment properties or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements.

Repairs and maintenance expenses related to investment properties that do not generate rental income amounted to Php52 million and Php55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Rental income relating to investment properties that are being leased and included as part of other miscellaneous income amounted to nil and Php31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 10 – Leases.

The above investment properties were categorized under Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers in and out of Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Significant increases or decreases in price per square meter for land, current material and labor costs of improvements would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

Impairment Testing of Goodwill

The organizational structure of PLDT and its subsidiaries is designed to monitor financial operations based on fixed line and wireless segmentation. Management provides guidelines and decisions on resource allocation, such as continuing or disposing of assets and operations by evaluating the performance of each segment through review and analysis of available financial information on the fixed line and wireless segments. As at June 30, 2026, the PLDT Group’s goodwill comprised of goodwill resulting from PGIH’s acquisition of Multisys in 2022, ePLDT’s acquisition of IPCDSI in 2012, PLDT’s acquisition of Digitel in 2011, ePLDT’s acquisition of ePDS in 2011, Smart’s acquisition of PDSI and Chikka in 2009, SBI’s acquisition of Airborne Access Corporation in 2008, and Smart’s acquisition of SBI in 2004.

Although revenue streams may be segregated among the companies within the PLDT Group, cash inflows are not considered coming from independent groups of assets on a per Company basis due largely to the significant portion of shared and commonly used network/platform that generates related revenue. On the other hand, PLDT has the largest fixed line network in the Philippines. PLDT’s transport facilities are installed nationwide to cover both domestic and international internet protocol (IP) backbone to route and transmit IP traffic generated by the customers. In the same manner, PLDT has the most Internet Gateway facilities which are composed of high-capacity IP routers and switches that serve as the main gateway of the Philippines to the Internet connecting to the World Wide Web. With PLDT’s network coverage, other fixed line subsidiaries share the same facilities to leverage from a Group perspective.

Because of the significant common use of network facilities among fixed line and wireless companies within the Group, management deems that the Wireless and Fixed Line units are the lowest CGUs to which goodwill is to be allocated and tested for impairment given that the Fixed Line and Wireless operations generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

The recoverable amount of the Wireless and Fixed Line CGUs have been determined using the value-in-use approach calculated using cash flow projections based on the financial budgets approved by the Board of Directors. The post-tax discount rates applied to cash flow projections are 9.32% for the Wireless and Fixed Line CGUs. Cash flows beyond the projection period of three years are determined using a 2% growth rate for the Wireless and Fixed Line CGUs, which is the same as the long-term average growth rate for the telecommunications industry. Other key assumptions used in the cash flow projections include revenue growth rate and capital expenditures.

Based on the assessment of the VIU of the Wireless and Fixed Line CGUs, the recoverable amount of the Wireless and Fixed Line CGUs exceeded their carrying amounts. Hence, no impairment was recognized in relation to goodwill as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Cash in banks earn interest at prevailing bank deposit rates. Temporary cash investments are made for varying periods of up to three months depending on our immediate cash requirements and earn interest at the prevailing temporary cash investment rates. Due to the short-term nature of such transactions, the carrying value approximates the fair value of our temporary cash investments. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Interest income earned from cash in banks and temporary cash investments amounted to Php100 million and Php86 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 5 – Income and Expenses.

Preferred Stock

Non-Voting Serial Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the PLDT Subscriber Investment Plan, the Board of Directors designated 50,000 shares of Non-Voting Serial Preferred Stock as Series JJ 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock on November 5, 2013, to be issued from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015, and 20,000 shares as Series KK on January 26, 2016, to be issued from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 on (collectively, “SIP Shares”). On June 8, 2015, PLDT issued 870 shares of Series JJ. SIP shares earn cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 10% and may be converted into Common Stock of PLDT at a price 10% below the average market price over 30 trading days, subject to a minimum of par value. The Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, adjust the conversion price in the event of a reclassification, change in outstanding Common Stock, consolidation, or merger. PLDT, at its discretion, may redeem Series JJ and KK SIP Shares five years after issuance, at par value plus any accrued dividends.

The Series IV Cumulative Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock earns cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 13.5% based on the paid-up subscription price. It is redeemable at the option of PLDT at any time one year after subscription and at the actual amount paid for such stock, plus accrued dividends. This stock is non-voting, except as specifically provided by law, and is preferred in liquidation.

All preferred stocks limit the ability of PLDT to pay cash dividends unless all dividends on such preferred stock for all past dividend payment periods have been paid, or declared, set apart and provision has been made for the currently payable dividends.

Voting Preferred Stock

On June 5, 2012, the Philippine SEC approved the amendments to the Seventh Article of PLDT’s Articles of Incorporation consisting of the sub-classification of its authorized Preferred Capital Stock into: 150 million shares of Voting Preferred Stock with a par value of Php1.00 each, and 807.5 million shares of Non-Voting Serial Preferred Stock with a par value of Php10.00 each, and other conforming amendments, or the Amendments. The shares of Voting Preferred Stock may be issued, owned, or transferred only to or by: (a) a citizen of the Philippines or a domestic partnership or association wholly-owned by citizens of the Philippines; (b) a corporation organized under the laws of the Philippines of which at least 60% of the capital stock entitled to vote is owned and held by citizens of the Philippines and at least 60% of the board of directors of such corporation are citizens of the Philippines; and (c) a trustee of funds for pension or other employee retirement or separation benefits, where the trustee qualifies under paragraphs (a) and (b) above and at least 60% of the funds accrue to the benefit of citizens of the Philippines, or Qualified Owners. The holders of Voting Preferred Stock will have voting rights at any meeting of the stockholders of PLDT for the election of directors and for all other purposes, with one vote in respect of each share of Voting Preferred Stock. The Amendments were approved by the Board of Directors and stockholders of PLDT on July 5, 2011 and March 22, 2012, respectively.

On October 12, 2012, the Board of Directors, pursuant to the authority granted to it in the Seventh Article of PLDT’s Articles of Incorporation, determined the following specific rights, terms and features of the Voting Preferred Stock: (a) entitled to receive cash dividends at the rate of 6.5% per annum, payable before any dividends are paid to the holders of Common Stock; (b) in the event of dissolution or liquidation or winding up of PLDT, holders will be entitled to be paid in full, or pro-rata insofar as the assets of PLDT will permit, the par value of such shares of Voting Preferred Stock and any accrued or unpaid

F-78

dividends thereon before any distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock; (c) redeemable at the option of PLDT; (d) not convertible to Common Stock or to any shares of stock of PLDT of any class; (e) voting rights at any meeting of the stockholders of PLDT for the election of directors and all other matters to be voted upon by the stockholders in any such meetings, with one vote in respect of each Voting Preferred Share; and (f) holders will have no pre-emptive right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class, securities or warrants issued, sold or disposed by PLDT.

On October 16, 2012, BTFHI subscribed to 150 million newly issued shares of Voting Preferred Stock of PLDT, at a subscription price of Php1.00 per share for a total subscription price of Php150 million pursuant to a subscription agreement between BTFHI and PLDT dated October 15, 2012. As a result of the issuance of Voting Preferred Shares, the voting power of the NTT Group (comprising of NTT DOCOMO and NTT DOCOMO Business), First Pacific Group and its Philippine affiliates, and JG Summit Group was reduced to 12.01%, 15.09% and 6.65%, respectively, which still holds as at June 30, 2026. See Note 1 – Corporate Information.

Redemption of Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors approved the redemption, or the Redemption, of all outstanding shares of the following 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock as follows:

Date of Board Approval Series Amount set aside for <br>Redemption Price Amount set aside for <br>Unclaimed Dividends Date of Redemption Redemption Period
September 23, 2011 A-FF Php4,029 million Php4,143 million January 19, 2012 January 19, 2012 to<br>January 19, 2022

January 28, 2020 JJ __ __ May 12, 2020 May 12, 2020 to<br>May 12, 2030

PLDT set aside amounts required to fund the redemption price and unclaimed dividends for the Series A to JJ Shares, or the Redemption Trust Fund, in a trust account, or the Trust Account, in the name of RCBC, as Trustee. Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Account, the Trustee will continue to hold the Redemption Trust Fund or any balance thereof, in trust, for the benefit of holders of Series A to JJ Shares, for a period of ten years from the date of redemption. After the said date, any and all remaining balance in the Trust Account shall be returned to PLDT and revert to its general funds. Any interest on the Redemption Trust Fund shall accrue for the benefit of, and be paid from time to time, to PLDT.

On January 20, 2022, RCBC returned to PLDT the remaining unclaimed balance of the Trust Account for the Series A to FF, amounting to Php7,839 million. Due to the prescription of PLDT’s obligations to pay the trust amounts for Series A to FF, income from prescription of preferred shares redemption liability of Php7,839 million was recognized in 2022.

All balances in the Trust Account have been fully withdrawn by PLDT, representing total payments made in connection with the redemption. On June 14, 2013, PLDT amended its Articles of Incorporation to decrease the authorized capital stock for its Non-Voting Serial Preferred Stock from 807.5 million shares to 388 million shares. See related disclosures below under Non-controlling interests - Perpetual Notes and Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities.

Common Stock/Treasury Stock

The Board of Directors approved a share buyback program of up to five million shares of PLDT’s common stock, representing approximately 3% of PLDT’s then total outstanding shares of common stock in 2008. Under the share buyback program, PLDT reacquired shares on an opportunistic basis, directly from the open market through the trading facilities of the PSE and NYSE.

As at November 2010, we had acquired a total of approximately 2.72 million shares of PLDT’s common stock at a weighted average price of Php2,388 per share for a total consideration of Php6,505 million in accordance with the share buyback program. There were no further buyback transactions subsequent to November 2010.

Green Loan and Social Loan Facilities

On November 4, 2025, Smart secured a Php2,000 million Green Loan Facility from Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company, to partially fund the expansion of its 5G network. Compared to previous technologies, 5G networks are more energy efficient per gigabyte of data and more reliable in delivering better speeds to end-users. 5G also enables shifting to low-energy mode and optimizes energy consumption based on actual network activity, facilitating reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Short-term Debt

On January 3, 2025, PLDT and Smart availed of unsecured short-term debt amounting to Php787 million and Php235 million, respectively, with an interest rate of 6.43%, which were fully paid on March 21, 2025.

In 2025, Multisys availed a total of Php300 million unsecured short-term debt with an average interest rate of 6.16%.

As at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, outstanding short-term debt amounted to Php300 million each with an average interest rate of 5.76% and 6.05, respectively.

Subsequent Drawdown

No subsequent drawdowns were made after June 30, 2026

Compliance with Debt Covenants

PLDT’s debt instruments contain restrictive covenants, including covenants that require us to comply with specified financial ratios tests, such as total debt to EBITDA and interest cover ratio, at relevant measurement dates, principally at the end of each quarterly period.

PLDT’s debt instruments also contain a number of other negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, restrict PLDT’s ability to take certain actions without lenders’ approval, including: (a) making or permitting any material change in the character of its business; (b) selling, leasing, transferring or disposing of all or substantially all of its assets or any significant portion thereof other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) creating any lien or security interest; (d) permitting set-off against amounts owed to PLDT; (e) merging or consolidating with any other company; and (f) making or permitting any preference or priority in respect of any other relevant indebtedness of PLDT.

PLDT’s debt instruments also contain customary and other default provisions that permit the lender to accelerate amounts due or terminate their commitments to extend additional funds under the debt instruments.

Smart’s debt instruments contain certain restrictive covenants that require Smart to comply with specified financial ratios and other financial tests at semi-annual measurement dates. Smart’s loan agreements include compliance with financial tests such as Smart’s consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA and interest coverage ratio. The agreements also contain customary and other default provisions that permit the lender to accelerate amounts due under the loans or terminate their commitments to extend additional funds under the loans.

Vitro’s debt instruments contain certain restrictive covenants that require Vitro to comply with specified financial ratios and other financial tests at quarterly measurement dates. Vitro’s loan agreement includes compliance with financial tests such as total debt to equity, debt service coverage and interest coverage ratio. The agreement also contains customary and other default provisions that permit the lender to accelerate amounts due under the loans or terminate their commitment to extend additional funds under the loans. Vitro’s debt instruments also contain a number of other negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, restrict Vitro’s ability to take certain actions without lenders’ approval.

F-85

The principal factors that could negatively affect our ability to comply with these financial ratio covenants and other financial tests are poor operating performance of PLDT and its subsidiaries, depreciation of the Philippine Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar, impairment or similar charges in respect of investments or other long-lived assets that may be recognized by PLDT and its subsidiaries, and increases in our interest expense. Interest expense may increase as a result of various factors including issuance of new debt, the refinancing of lower cost indebtedness by higher cost indebtedness, depreciation of the Philippine Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar, the lowering of PLDT’s credit ratings or the credit ratings of the Philippines, increase in reference interest rates, and general market conditions. Of our total consolidated debts (net of consolidated debt discount), approximately 13% was denominated in U.S. Dollars as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Considering our consolidated outstanding derivatives, the unhedged portion of the PLDT’s net debt amounts was approximately 6% (or 5%, net of our consolidated U.S. Dollar cash balances allocated for debt) as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Therefore, the financial ratio and other tests are expected to be negatively affected by any weakening of the Philippine Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities – Foreign Currency Exchange Risk.

The loan agreements with banks (foreign and local alike) and other financial institutions provide for certain restrictions and requirements with respect to, among others, maintenance of percentage of ownership of specific shareholders, incurrence of additional long-term indebtedness or guarantees and creation of property encumbrances.

As at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. See Note 27 – Financial Assets and Liabilities – Derivative Financial Instruments.

PLDT’s Retirement Plan

The Board of Trustees, which manages the beneficial trust fund, is composed of: (i) a member of the Board of Directors of PLDT, who is not a beneficiary of the Plan; (ii) a member of the Board of Directors or a senior officer of PLDT, who is a beneficiary of the Plan; (iii) a senior member of the executive staff of PLDT; and (iv) two persons who are not executives nor employees of PLDT.

Benefits are payable in the event of termination of employment due to: (i) compulsory, optional, or deferred retirement; (ii) death while in active service; (iii) physical disability; (iv) voluntary resignation; or (v) involuntary separation from service. For a plan member with less than 15 years of credited services, retirement benefit is equal to 100% of final compensation for every year of service. For those with at least 15 years of service, retirement benefit is equal to 125% of final compensation for every year of service, with such percentage to be increased by an additional 5% for each completed year of service in excess of 15 years, but not to exceed a maximum of 200%. In the case of voluntary resignation after attainment of age 40 and completion of at least 15 years of credited service, benefit is equal to a percentage of his vested retirement benefit, in accordance with percentages prescribed in the retirement plan.

The Board of Trustees of the beneficial trust fund uses an investment approach with the objective of maximizing the long-term expected return of plan assets.

The majority of the Plan’s investment portfolio consists of listed and unlisted equity securities while the remaining portion consists of passive investments like temporary cash investments and fixed income investments.

The plan assets are primarily exposed to financial risks such as liquidity risk and price risk.

Liquidity risk pertains to the plan’s ability to meet its obligation to the employees upon retirement. To effectively manage liquidity risk, the Board of Trustees invests at least the equivalent amount of actuarially computed expected compulsory retirement benefit payments for the year to liquid/semi-liquid assets such as government securities, savings and time deposits with commercial banks.

Price risk pertains mainly to fluctuations in market prices of equity securities listed in the PSE. In order to effectively manage price risk, the Board of Trustees continuously assesses these risks by closely monitoring the market value of the securities and implementing prudent investment strategies.

As at June 30, 2026, PLDT has no contested LGU assessments for franchise taxes based on gross receipts received or collected for services within its respective territorial jurisdiction.

Smart’s Local Business and Franchise Tax Assessments

Province of Cagayan

The Province of Cagayan, or the Province, issued a tax assessment against Smart in 2016 for alleged local franchise tax covering the years 2011 to 2015. Smart appealed the assessment to the Regional Trial Court, or RTC, on the ground that Smart cannot be held liable for local franchise tax mainly because it has no sales office within the Province pursuant to Section 137 of the Local Government Code (Republic Act No. 7160). The RTC rendered its Decision on November 29, 2021 dismissing the appeal of Smart for lack of jurisdiction without prejudice. Subsequently, a motion for reconsideration was filed. On April 25, 2023, the RTC ruled in favor of the Province and denied Smart’s subsequent Motion for Reconsideration. On May 24, 2023, Smart filed its Petition for Review before the Court of Tax Appeals. On March 12, 2025, Smart received a Decision from the Court of Tax Appeals Second Division. The Court of Tax Appeals Second Division ruled in favor of Smart and cancelled the assessment. On June 19, 2026, the Court of Tax Appeals promulgated that their Ruling is final and executory. Entry of Judgment was issued. Therefore, the local franchise tax assessment issued to Smart was cancelled and set aside permanently by the Court of Tax Appeals.

Arbitration with Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc., or ETPI

PLDT and Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. (ETPI) have been involved in disputes since 1990 concerning interconnection and traffic exchange arrangements. The issues include, among others, ETPI’s alleged uncompensated bypass of PLDT’s systems, unpaid access charges, and non-payment of applicable rates for Off-Net and On-Net traffic from 1998 to 2003. ETPI, in turn, claims traffic shortfalls, under-reporting of revenues, and lost revenues arising from the blocking of incoming traffic and circuit migration during the same period.

Although the parties executed Compromise Agreements in 1990 and 1999, these did not fully resolve their differences. To avoid protracted litigation and preserve their business relationship, PLDT and ETPI entered into an Arbitration Settlement Agreement on April 16, 2008, submitting their respective Statements of Claims and Answers. Each party asserted claims of approximately Php2.8 billion to Php2.9 billion, and the arbitration proceedings were subsequently suspended by mutual agreement.

In connection with PLDT’s and Globe’s acquisition of San Miguel Corporation’s telecommunications business, the parties further agreed to cause the dismissal with prejudice of Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. v. Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (Civil Case No. 17694) and all related or incidental proceedings, including the voluntary arbitration. As of the date of this report, there have been no changes in the status of the arbitration proceedings.

Department of Labor and Employment, or DOLE, Compliance Order, or Order, to PLDT

In a series of orders, including a Compliance Order issued by the DOLE Regional Office on July 3, 2017, partly affirmed by the DOLE Secretary in resolutions dated January 10 and April 24, 2018, the DOLE directed PLDT to regularize 7,344 workers from 38 third-party service contractors. PLDT questioned these “regularization orders” before the CA, which, in a Decision dated July 31, 2018, granted PLDT’s prayer for injunction and set aside the DOLE orders insofar as they declared labor-only contracting in several functions, including janitorial, clerical, IT, back-office, call center, sales, and professional services. The CA remanded to the DOLE only the determination of workers performing installation, repair, and maintenance (IRM) functions and the computation of Php51.8 million in monetary awards.

F-103

The CA held that the DOLE Secretary’s regularization order was tainted with grave abuse of discretion for failure to meet the substantial-evidence standard and for misapplying the legal tests of “control over means and methods” versus “control over results.” PLDT thereafter filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration on August 20, 2018, arguing that the remand exceeded the DOLE’s visitorial powers, as the fact-finding required could not be performed in the normal course of a labor inspection. PLDT also maintained that not all IRM work is necessarily regular, as some may be project-based or seasonal in nature, and proposed that the NLRC, with broader fact-finding authority, should determine such issues. The DOLE and the PLDT rank-and-file union MKP likewise sought reconsideration.

In a Resolution dated February 14, 2019, the CA denied all motions for reconsideration and affirmed its earlier decision. PLDT elevated the case to the Supreme Court through a Petition for Review filed on April 5, 2019, questioning only the CA’s remand order on IRM functions. The petitions of the DOLE and MKP were later consolidated with PLDT’s petition, and PLDT filed its Comment and Reply between February and December 2020.

On March 20, 2024, PLDT received the Supreme Court Decision dated February 14, 2024, which dismissed all petitions and affirmed the CA’s July 31, 2018 Decision. The Supreme Court upheld the modification of the DOLE Secretary’s resolutions and set aside the regularization orders for all contractor workers except those performing IRM services, who may be declared regular employees of PLDT subject to further proceedings. The Court remanded the case to the DOLE–NCR Regional Office to (a) determine the effects of regularization of IRM workers; (b) review and compute monetary awards for labor-standards violations, for which PLDT and the concerned contractors are solidarily liable; and (c) conduct further proceedings consistent with the Decision.

PLDT filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration on April 4, 2024, and received MKP’s separate motion on April 16, 2024.

The Supreme Court, First Division, in its Resolution dated November 05, 2025, which was received by counsel on February 24, 2026, resolved to deny with finality the motions for partial reconsideration filed by PLDT and MKP and held that no further pleadings, motions, letters, or other communications will be entertained. On July 8, 2026, PLDT received the Entry of Judgment certifying that the Decision of the Supreme Court became final and executory on November 5, 2025. Accordingly, the Decision of the Supreme Court to remand the case stands.

Attys. Baquiran and Tecson vs. NTC, et al.

This Petition for Mandamus filed before the Supreme Court against the NTC, PCC, Liberty, BellTel, Globe, PLDT, and Smart concerns the 700 MHz frequency band and related frequencies originally assigned to Liberty and subsequently covered by the Co-Use Agreement among Globe, PLDT, and Smart. The petition questions the constitutionality and validity of the NTC’s assignments of the Subject Frequencies, the transfer from Liberty to BellTel, and the Co-Use Agreement itself, and also seeks to compel the NTC and PCC to revoke the Co-Use Agreement and conduct a full review of the Vega Telecom acquisition.

PLDT and Smart filed their Comment on January 17, 2019, arguing that the requisites for judicial review and mandamus were not met, that congressional approval was not required for Liberty’s assignment of the Subject Frequencies to BellTel, and that the Co-Use Agreement was valid and duly approved by the NTC. BellTel and Globe likewise filed their respective comments, which the Supreme Court noted in a Resolution dated March 19, 2019.

In a Resolution dated June 18, 2019, the Supreme Court ordered the consolidation of this case with G.R. No. 230798 (PCC v. CA [Twelfth Division] and PLDT; Globe, intervenor) and G.R. No. 234969 (PCC v. PLDT and Globe), assigning the consolidated cases to the division handling the lowest-numbered docket.

On September 17, 2024, PLDT received a Notice of Resolution dated August 6, 2024, directing the parties to move in the premises within ten (10) days from notice. PLDT, Liberty, and Globe thereafter filed their respective compliances.

As of the date of this report, the consolidated cases remain pending before the Supreme Court.

DITO, PCC and NTC Complaints

The NTC proceedings between Smart and DITO over interconnection capacity and bypass traffic have been largely overtaken by subsequent events. In 2024, Smart informed the NTC and PCC that it had provided DITO with additional interconnection capacity and that both parties had executed a Memorandum of Agreement on Bypass Activities, under which DITO acknowledged its ISR liabilities for 2021 to August 2023.

During 2023–2024, Smart representatives appeared before the PCC Competition Enforcement Office (PCC-CEO) in relation to an ongoing administrative investigation concerning alleged violations of the Philippine Competition Act. Smart submitted required documents and attended clarificatory hearings in June, July, and November 2023, and filed several Manifestations in 2024 confirming its agreement with DITO and subsequent compliance actions.

F-104

On March 18, 2025, Smart received another Subpoena Duces Tecum from the PCC-CEO, directing it to submit documents and information on or before April 11, 2025 pertaining to its operations as a PTE and its relationship with other PTEs for the period of March 2021 to December 2024. On April 11, 2025, Smart requested for an additional thirty (30) days to comply with the Subpoena. Thereafter, on May 13, 2025, Smart filed its Compliance to the PCC-CEO’s Subpoena.

On May 30, 2025, Smart received a resolution from the PCC-CEO requiring it to clarify documents to be further submitted in relation to the March 18, 2025 Subpoena, and scheduling a videoconference on June 11, 2025. Smart, through its representatives then attended the June 11, 2025 clarificatory hearing via videoconference, and simultaneously filed its partial compliance with the Subpoena and a prayer that it be given a period of fifteen (15) days from June 11, 2025 or until June 26, 2025, to submit other information and documents required in the Subpoena. Accordingly, Smart filed its Compliance on June 25, 2025. Thereafter, the PCC-CEO issued a Resolution dated June 25, 2025, directing Smart to submit further documents in relation to the issues on or before July 07, 2025. In compliance therewith, Smart filed its Manifestation on July 07, 2025.

As of the date of this report, the PCC-CEO’s investigation remains pending resolution.

F-108

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Long-term financial assets and liabilities:

Fair value is based on the following:

Type Fair Value Assumptions Fair Value Hierarchy
Noncurrent portion of advances and<br>   other noncurrent assets Estimated fair value is based on the discounted values of future cash flows using the applicable zero-coupon rates plus counterparties’ credit spread. Level 3
Fixed rate loans: U.S. Dollar notes Quoted market price. Level 1
Investment in debt securities Fair values were determined using quoted prices. <br>For non-quoted securities, fair values were determined using discounted cash flow based on market observable rates. Level 1<br>Level 2
Other loans in all other currencies Estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable SOFR and BVAL rates for similar types of loans plus PLDT’s credit spread. Level 3
Variable rate loans The carrying value approximates fair value because of recent and regular repricing based on market<br>conditions. Level 2

Derivative Financial Instruments

Forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency options: The fair values were computed as the present value of estimated future cash flows using market U.S. Dollar and Philippine Peso interest rates as at valuation date.

The valuation techniques considered various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties.

Due to the short-term nature of the transactions, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and dividends payable approximate their carrying values as at the end of the reporting period.

Our derivative financial instruments are accounted for as either cash flow hedges or transactions not designated as hedges. Cash flow hedges refer to those transactions that hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized financial asset or liability and exposures arising from forecast transactions. Changes in the fair value of these instruments representing effective hedges are recognized directly in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in our consolidated income statements. For transactions that are not designated as hedges, any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value are recognized directly to income for the period.

As at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have taken into account the counterparties’ credit risks (for derivative assets) and our own non-performance risk (for derivative liabilities) and have included a credit or debit valuation adjustment, as appropriate, by assessing the maximum credit exposure and taking into account market-based inputs which considers the risk of default occurring and corresponding losses once the default event occurs. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The main risks arising from our financial instruments are liquidity risk, foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The importance of managing those risks has significantly increased in light of the considerable change and volatility in both the Philippine and international financial markets. Our Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below. We also monitor the market price risk arising from all financial instruments.

Liquidity Risk

Our exposure to liquidity risk refers to the risk that our financial requirements, working capital requirements and planned capital expenditures may not be met.

We manage our liquidity profile to be able to finance our operations and capital expenditures, service our maturing debts and meet our other financial obligations. To cover our financing requirements, we use internally generated funds and proceeds from debt and equity issues and sales of certain assets.

As part of our liquidity risk management program, we regularly evaluate our projected and actual cash flows, including our loan maturity profiles, and continuously assess conditions in the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund-raising initiatives. These may include bank loans, export credit agency-guaranteed facilities, and issuances in the debt and equity markets.

Any excess funds are primarily invested in short-term and principal-protected bank products that provide flexibility of withdrawing the funds anytime. We also allocate a portion of our cash in longer tenor investments such as fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the Republic of the Philippines, and Philippine banks and corporates and managed funds. We regularly evaluate available financial products and monitor market conditions for opportunities to enhance yields at acceptable risk levels. Our funding arrangements are designed to keep an appropriate balance between equity and debt and to provide financing flexibility while enhancing our businesses.

Our cash position remains sufficient to support our planned capital expenditure requirements and service our debt and financing obligations; however, we may be required to finance a portion of our future capital expenditures from external financing sources. We have cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments amounting to Php11,896 million and Php10 million, respectively, as at June 30, 2026, which we can use to meet our short-term liquidity needs. See Note 15 – Cash and Cash Equivalents. As part of our liquidity management, we assess dividend declarations in light of operating cash flows, funding needs, and financial priorities.

Total obligations under these various agreements amounted to approximately Php104,587 million and Php110,977 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 22 – Accounts Payable and Note 23 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities.

We have no outstanding commercial commitments, in the form of letters of credit, as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Collateral

There are no pledges as collaterals with respect to our financial liabilities as at as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Foreign currency exchange risk refers to the potential impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the fair value and future cash flows of financial instruments.

The revaluation of our foreign currency-denominated financial assets and liabilities as a result of the appreciation or depreciation of the Philippine Peso is recognized as foreign exchange gains or losses as at the end of the reporting period. The extent of foreign exchange gains or losses is largely dependent on the amount of foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities. While a certain percentage of our revenues are either linked to or denominated in U.S. Dollars, a substantial portion of our capital expenditures, a portion of our indebtedness and related interest expense and a portion of our operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, mostly in U.S. Dollars. As such, a strengthening or weakening of the Philippine Peso against the U.S. Dollar will decrease or increase in Philippine Peso terms both the principal amount of our foreign currency-denominated debts and the related interest expense, our foreign currency-denominated capital expenditures and operating expenses as well as our U.S. Dollar-linked and U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues. In addition, many of our financial ratios and other financial tests are affected by the movements in the Philippine Peso to U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

F-116

To manage our foreign exchange risks and to stabilize our cash flows in order to improve investment and cash flow planning, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts, currency option contracts and other hedging products aimed at reducing and/or managing the adverse impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our operating results and cash flows. Further details of the risk management strategy are recognized in our hedge designation documentation. We use forward foreign exchange purchase contracts, currency swap contracts and currency option contracts to manage the foreign currency risks associated with our foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities. We accounted for these instruments as either cash flow hedges, wherein changes in the fair value are recognized in our consolidated other comprehensive income until the hedged transaction affects our consolidated income statements or transactions not designated as hedges, wherein changes in the fair value are recognized directly as income or expense for the year.

The impact of the hedging instruments on our consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

  • The exchange rate used to convert the U.S. Dollar amounts into Philippine Peso was Php61.29 to US$1.00, the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate as quoted through the Bankers Association of the Philippines, or BAP, as at June 30, 2026.
  • The exchange rate used to convert the U.S. Dollar amounts into Philippine Peso was Php58.79 to US$1.00, the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate as quoted through the BAP as at December 31, 2025.

As at August 12, 2026, the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate was Php61.32 to US$1.00. Using this exchange rate, our consolidated net foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities would have increased in Philippine Peso terms by Php2,143 million as at June 30, 2026.

Approximately 13% of our total consolidated debts (net of consolidated debt discount) was denominated in U.S. Dollars as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our consolidated foreign currency-denominated debt increased to Php40,140 million as at June 30, 2026 from Php38,879 million as at December 31, 2025, primarily due to the depreciation of the Philippine peso relative to the U.S. dollar. See Note 20 – Interest-bearing Financial Liabilities. The aggregate notional amount of our consolidated outstanding derivatives allocated for debt were US$350 million and US$345 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Consequently, the unhedged portion of our consolidated debt amounts were 6% (or 5%, net of consolidated U.S. Dollar cash balances allocated for debt) as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Approximately 17% and 16% of our consolidated revenues were denominated in U.S. Dollars and/or were linked to U.S. Dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Approximately 19% and 16% of our consolidated expenses were denominated in U.S. Dollars and/or linked to the U.S. Dollar for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, respectively. In this respect, the higher weighted average exchange rate of the Philippine Peso against the U.S. Dollar increased our revenues and expenses, and consequently, affects our cash flow from operations in Philippine Peso terms. In view of the anticipated continued decline in dollar-denominated/dollar-linked revenues, which provide a natural hedge against our foreign currency exposure, we are progressively refinancing our dollar-denominated debts in Philippine Pesos.

The Philippine Peso depreciated by 4% against the U.S. Dollar to Php61.29 to US$1.00 as at June 30, 2026 from Php58.79 to US$1.00 as at December 31, 2025. As a result of our consolidated foreign exchange movements, as well as the amount of our consolidated outstanding net foreign currency financial assets and liabilities, we recognized net consolidated foreign exchange losses of Php1,365 million and net consolidated foreign exchange gains of Php1,406 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Management conducted a survey among our banks to determine the outlook of the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate until June 30, 2026. Our outlook is that the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate may either weaken or strengthen by 2.38% as compared to the exchange rate of Php61.29 to US$1.00 as at June 30, 2026. If the Philippine Peso-U.S. Dollar exchange rate had weakened or strengthened by 2.38% as at June 30, 2026, with all other variables held constant, consolidated profit after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and stockholders’ equity as at June 30, 2026 would have been approximately Php924 million and Php148 million, respectively, lower/higher, mainly as a result of consolidated foreign

F-118

exchange gains and losses on conversion of U.S. Dollar-denominated net assets/liabilities and mark-to-market valuation of derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in market interest rates that may impact the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments.

Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

Our policy is to manage interest costs through a mix of fixed and variable rate debts. We evaluate the fixed to floating ratio of our loans in line with movements of relevant interest rates in the financial markets. Based on our assessment, new financing will be priced either on a fixed or floating rate basis. We enter into interest rate swap agreements in order to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Further details of the risk management strategy are recognized in our hedge designation documentation. We make use of hedging instruments and structures solely for reducing or managing financial risk associated with our debt obligations and not for trading purposes.

Fixed rate financial instruments are subject to fair value interest rate risk while floating rate financial instruments are subject to cash flow interest rate risk.

Repricing of our regular floating rate financial instruments is done on intervals of one month, three months and six months while repricing of our structured floating rate instruments is done every one year or up to five years. Interest on fixed rate financial instruments is fixed until maturity of the particular instrument.

Approximately 70% and 67% of our consolidated debts (net of consolidated debt discount) were variable rate debts as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our consolidated variable rate debt amounted to Php209,814 million and Php198,347 million as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Management conducted a survey among our banks to determine the outlook of the U.S. Dollar and Philippine Peso interest rates until June 30, 2026. Our outlook is that the U.S. Dollar and Philippine Peso interest rates may move 50 basis points, or bps, and 125 bps higher/lower, respectively, as compared to levels as at June 30, 2026. If the U.S. Dollar interest rates had been 50 bps higher/lower as compared to market levels as at June 30, 2026, with all other variables held constant, consolidated profit after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and stockholders’ equity as at June 30, 2026 would have been approximately Php1 million and Php71 million, respectively, lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings and loss/gain on derivative transactions. If the Philippine Peso interest rates had been 125 bps higher/lower as compared to market levels as at June 30, 2026, with all other variables held constant, consolidated profit after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and stockholders’ equity as at June 30, 2026 would have been approximately Php195 million and Php146 million, respectively, lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings and loss/gain on derivative transactions.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers, clients and counterparties may default on their contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss.

We manage and control credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk we are willing to accept for individual counterparties and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits.

We trade only with recognized and creditworthy third parties. It is our policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to reduce our exposure to bad debts.

We established a credit quality review process to provide regular identification of changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties. Our credit quality review process allows us to assess the potential loss as a result of the risks to which we are exposed and allow us to take corrective actions.

Maximum exposure to credit risk of financial assets not subject to impairment

The gross carrying amount of financial assets not subject to impairment also represents our maximum exposure to credit risk as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

Maximum exposure to credit risk after collateral held or other credit enhancements

Collateral held as security for financial assets depends on the nature of the instrument. Debt investment securities are generally unsecured. Estimates of fair value are based on the value of collateral assessed at the time of borrowing and are regularly updated according to internal lending policies and regulatory guidelines. Generally, collateral is not held over loans and advances to us. Collateral usually is not held against investment securities, and no such collateral was held as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Our policies regarding obtaining collateral have not significantly changed during the reporting period and there has been no significant change in the overall quality of the collateral held by us during the year.

We have not identified significant risk concentrations arising from the nature, type or location of collateral and other credit enhancements held against our credit exposures.

Capital Management Risk

We aim to achieve an optimal capital structure in pursuit of our business objectives which include maintaining healthy capital ratios and strong credit ratings and maximizing shareholder value.

Our approach to capital management focuses on balancing the allocation of cash and the incurrence of debt as we seek new investment opportunities for new businesses and growth areas. On August 5, 2014, the PLDT Board of Directors approved an amendment to our dividend policy, increasing the dividend payout rate to 75% from 70% of our core EPS as regular dividends. However, in view of our elevated capital expenditures to build-out a robust, superior network to support the continued growth of data traffic, plans to invest in new adjacent businesses that will complement the current business and provide future sources of profits and dividends, and management of our cash and gearing levels, the PLDT Board of Directors approved on August 2, 2016, the amendment of our dividend policy, reducing the regular dividend payout to 60% of core EPS. Starting 2019, we base our dividend payout on telco core income. In declaring dividends, we take into consideration the interest of our shareholders, as well as our working capital, capital expenditures and debt servicing requirements. The retention of earnings may be necessary to meet the funding requirements of our business expansion and development programs.

As part of the dividend policy, in the event no investment opportunities arise, we may consider the option of returning additional cash to our shareholders in the form of special dividends or share buybacks. Philippine corporate regulations prescribe, however, that we can only pay out dividends or make capital distribution up to the amount of our unrestricted retained earnings.

F-125

Some of our debt instruments contain covenants that impose maximum leverage ratios. In addition, our credit ratings from the international credit ratings agencies are based on our ability to remain within certain leverage ratios.

No changes were made in our objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
