6/F Philippine Stock Exchange Tower

28th Street corner 5th Avenue

Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City

 

Attention: Ms. Alexandra D. Tom Wong

Officer-in-Charge – Disclosure Department

 

Gentlemen:

 

We refer to the letter of the PSE dated January 19, 2024 requesting PLDT Inc. (“PLDT”) to clarify information and/or to provide relevant information in relation to the news article entitled “PLDT may allot lower capex for this year—exec” as posted in the Business Mirror (Online Edition) on January 18, 2024.

 

The news article states, in part, that:

 

“Businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan said telco giant Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) is likely to set aside a lower capital expenditure (capex) for this year.

 

‘In terms of fresh capex, most likely, yes, it will be lower this year compared to last year. We are getting a better idea of what is the carryover capex from the issues related to 2022. It is likely to be overall lower than in 2023,’ said Pangilinan.

 

. . . .

 

He also said the search for the next PLDT president is still ongoing. ‘We just started. It is ongoing now; it is a bit new. Too early to say who the candidates could be at this stage. It is a wide search. At this stage, I cannot tell you how many. Hopefully, before the year ends, we can find the right person.’

 

. . . .”

 

We confirm the statement of the Chairman that PLDT is eyeing a lower capex number for 2024. This is consistent with previous statements where the company indicated that it aims to sequentially reduce both the capex headline number and capex intensity, i. e., capex as a percentage of service revenues.

 

We will announce both the 2023 final capex amount and the 2024 capex guidance when we release our full year 2023 results in March.

 

We further confirm that the search for the next PLDT President and CEO is ongoing.

 

We trust that the foregoing explanation clarifies matters.

 

 

 

 

Very truly yours,
