ANNEX A Chairman s Message for SMPFC 2012 Stockholders Meeting May 10, 2013 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us today. I am happy to report that your Company did well in 2012 amidst a challenging business environment. The Company s consolidated revenues continued to grow, registering a 7% increase over 2011 at Php 95.8 billion. This was achieved despite a difficult first quarter characterized by low pork prices, high raw material costs, and the shortage of a major raw material due to typhoon Sendong that hit Mindanao in late 2011. Your company demonstrated its ability to remain steadfast in achieving our goals, resulting in a net income of Php 4.3 billion, which is a 2% improvement from previous year.
ANNEX A I encourage you to take the time to read through our Annual Report, which will provide you with a better view of the Company s performance throughout the year. I would like to highlight some of our programs which allowed us to achieve these results. To address the high cost of raw materials for our Agro-Industrial business, comprising of Poultry, Fresh Meats and Feeds, we utilized lower-priced alternative materials, which enabled us to improve our margins quarter-on-quarter. In line with our long-term strategy to minimize volatility of our margins, we pursued our thrust to shift our volumes to the stablepriced channels such as our Monterey Meatshops and Magnolia Chicken Stations. We accelerated the growth of our value-added businesses, namely, Processed Meats, Dairy and Coffee. In particular, Processed Meats and Coffee registered double-digit revenue growth.
ANNEX A We intensified our innovation efforts that allowed us to launch over 70 new products and variants during the year to excite the market.these products contributed more than half of the 2012 volume growth of the value-added businesses. In addition, we have upgraded and harmonized our information systems to enhance decision-making across all our businesses. Moving forward, we started 2013 with favorable results, as we continue to ride the momentum of the 2012 improvements in revenue and profitability. Your Company remains steadfast to hurdle the challenges that come our way, which we welcome as opportunities. Your support and confidence over the years have allowed your Company to keep our eye on the prize. We can confidently say
ANNEX A that San Miguel Pure Foods remains the leading Filipino food company. Again, thank you for joining us. Your presence and support continue to encourage and inspire us to achieve even greater heights.
