Riding on the impressive enrollment numbers it generated in the current academic year, STI Holdings, reported a net income of P1.1 billion for the nine-month period, which ended March 31, 2024.
The amount represents a 93% increase in profits compared to the P579.3 million in net income the company posted during the same period last year, STI Holdings said in a disclosure sent to the Philippine Stock Exchange last Wednesday.
The company also said it earned gross revenues of almost P3.4 billion for the same nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, which is 38% higher compared to the P2.4 billion in revenues it generated during the same period in the previous year.
Gross profit for said nine-month period amounted to P2.4 billion, which is also a significant increase from the P1.6 billion STI Holdings gained for the same period last year. Gross profit margin also increased from 68% to 70% year on year.
“The increase was primarily driven by the 27% increase in the total number of students of the Group for SY 2023-2024,” STI Holdings said.
