Chairmens Message

In 2014, the Philippines experienced GDP (gross


domestic product) growth of6.1%, falling short of
the governments 6.5-7.5% target for the year, mainly
due to lower fiscal spending. This performance
was, nonetheless, above market expectations and
positioned the country as Asias second fastestrising economy last year. Together with a favorable
international credit rating, and a record-setting
stock market, all these indicate a good amount of
confidence in our economy.
Both government and economic analysts are
confident of achieving higher GDP growth in 2015 on
the back of higher government spending, stronger
private consumption, stable OFW remittances, lower
oil prices, and lower inflation.

The Philippine market today certainly offers


substantial opportunities for growth in all our core
businesses, and we are eager to reap the benefits of
these exciting growth prospects.

20 Years of Creating Long-Term Value


In 2014, Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) celebrated
its 20th listing anniversary at the Philippine Stock
Exchange (PSE), and its initial public offering (IPO)
was the inflection point that fueled our companys
explosive growth. Our IPO price in 1994 was P5.70
per share; today, after adjusting it for stock dividends,
it is approximately 15 times its initial price. Our total
return to shareholders over the past five years is
46% compounded annually, and AEV is recognized as
one of the best performers for a PSE-listed company.
Today, we also have one of the highest dividend yields
among blue chip conglomerates.

We interpret the outstanding performance of the


AEV stock price as a vote of confidence and approval
of our business policies, practices, and strategic
initiatives. Over the past two decades, whether
through organic growth, strategic partnerships or
acquisitions, we have remained disciplined and
focused on our core competencies and strategic
plans. Our end goal is to create long-term value for all
our stakeholders, not just our shareholders but also
our customers, team members, and our communities.
Group Strategy
Just as it was in 1994 when there was much optimism
in the air with many exciting opportunities, today with
sustained strong macroeconomic fundamentals and
confidence on the countrys economy, many growth
and investment opportunities are available for the
AEV Group.
Last year, the Board of Directors and the senior
management group conducted an extensive review
of the Groups current and future strategy. We
confirmed that the Philippine market still offers
new investment opportunities across all our core
businesses and with the ASEAN integration, there is
an ever-increasing competition from both local and
foreign players.
The Groups four strategic pillars, which were
discussed in last years annual report, are still highly
relevant to the direction we intend to pursue. As
we move forward, we will remain grounded on our
commitment to grow and expand our business,
increase stakeholder engagement, build human
capital, and carry on execution excellence in
everything we do.

Succession
With the significant growth of the Groups businesses
over the past few years, coupled with our future
growth aspirations, we would like to ensure a more
seamless transition of leadership and the continued
execution of our long-term strategic plans.
In November 2014, the Board of Directors of Aboitiz
& Company, AEV, and AboitizPower announced the
deferment of the retirement of Group CEO Montxu
Aboitiz and AboitizPower President and COO Tony
Moraza to December 31, 2019. This means a threeyear extension for Montxu and a two-year extension
for Tony. We are confident that in a few years, we will
be ready for an easy handover of leadership.
Our solid corporate governance structure has largely
contributed to the success of the Group over the past
100 years, and this includes a smooth passing of the
baton to the next group of leaders.
Doing Well by Doing Good
In 2014, we further strengthened our Groups
sustainability commitment with the launching of the
Aboitiz BetterWorld campaign. It communicates our
sustainability mindset that we can do well by doing

We are doing good by living out our core value


of responsibility through our corporate social
responsibility (CSR) initiatives in the Aboitiz
Foundation and WeatherPhilippines Foundation.
Since the late 1980s, the Groups efforts have evolved
from CSR 1.0, or simple philanthropic activities, to
CSR 2.0 that involves more sustainable projects with
longer-term benefits for our beneficiaries. This means
engaging more effective programs that address
community needs, especially in our focus areas of
education, enterprise development, environment,
health, and well - being, are national in scale, and
encourage more participation from our team
members.

In 2015, we mark the 95th anniversary of our


parent company, Aboitiz & Company. This important
milestone reminds us of our storied journey from
a private, family-owned business to a publicly held
company that has touched the lives of so many of
our stakeholders.
To all our stakeholders, thank you for being our
partners in this exhilarating journey of growth.

Revisiting our growth strategy also gave us invaluable


insight into the huge demand for infrastructure
in local and regional markets. Encouraged by this
development, we have added infrastructure and
infrastructure-related businesses as the fifth leg
of our core businesses. We foresee an enormous
need for infrastructure investment and want to
play a major role in this sector. We believe that
venturing into the infrastructure sector meets our
growth criteria of being able to tap into existing core
competencies. It is a business that is scalable and has
a potential to provide us with strong recurring profits
and cash flow.

In our commitment to transparency, we apply


international benchmarks in all our sustainability
efforts. Starting in 2014, we have been preparing
our Groups Sustainability Report using the GRIs G4

performance indicators that are critical and important
to our business and our key stakeholders.

Our disciplined investment approach hinges on


two very basic criteria: covering our cost of equity
and a bias for strong cash flow. This has allowed us
to fund our expansion program while at the same
time pay out generous annual cash dividends to all
of you. Over the years, we have been true to our
dividend policy of paying out at least one-third of
the previous years earnings for AEV, and one-half
of the prior years earnings for AboitizPower, and at
times even exceeding it.
You will also see from our CFOs report that our
balance sheet remains to be very strong and we
have ample capacity to lever it up as we pursue
investment opportunities.

Performance of our Strategic Business Units


AEV closed 2014 with a consolidated net income
of P18.4 billion, 13% lower than in the previous
year. The decline, which was anticipated, was due
to lower contributions from our power and banking
business units.

We expect 2015 earnings to be better than last


year with the commissioning of several power
plants. Our strategic growth plans remain intact
as we pursue to further strengthenand expand
our businesses, in keeping pace with the countrys
economic growth.
Power
AboitizPowers income contribution to AEV amounted
to P12.7 billion, a 10% decrease from the previous year.
The drop in earnings was due to the full-year impact
of the new steam supply agreement, the Geothermal
Resource Sales Contract (GRSC), of our Tiwi-MakBan
plants, limited operations at the Magat plant due to
low water levels, and the expiration of the Pagbilao
and Magat plants income tax holidays. Our large hydro
plants were also adversely affected by lower average
prices for both spot and ancillary services sales.
In 2015, our total attributable net sellable generating
capacity will increase from 2,250 megawatts (MW)
to 2,532 MW, with the addition of 8 MW from
the optimization of Binga hydro plant, and the
commissioning of the 14-MW Sabangan hydro plant,
and 260-MW (net) Davao coal plant.
While power supply in Mindanao continued to be a
challenge, outages in our distribution utilities were
kept to a minimum thanks to our embedded power
plants in Davao Light and Cotabato Light, as well as
the participation of many large customers in the
Interruptible Load Program (ILP). The ILP, which VECO
pioneered in 2010, has proven to be a viable, practical
and cost-efficient solution to address a short-term
power shortage. We fully support the ILP and believe
it will play a key role in increasing power reserves in
the Luzon grid this summer.

CEOs Message

As we pursue our growth strategy, we look back


at how your company has evolved with the power
industry that has transformed itself into a competitive
and market-driven one, with numerous new entrants
to the business. We have built a diversified portfolio
of power assets with a significant presence in all three
grids from a combination of PSALM-privatized assets,
acquisitions, and greenfield developments in hydro,
geothermal, coal, and oil power plants.

Our goal is to build a great retail bank. UnionBanks

A boit iz Equi ty Vent ures , In c.

Core to our gentailer (generator-retailer) strategy


is Open Access which you often hear us refer to as
the Holy Grail. It is only through Open Access that
end-users are given the power of choice; this will
truly transform our power industry into a competitive
market place. This will also give AboitizPower the ability
to expand our markets beyond distribution utilities and
the spot market. Open Access gives us the ability to
expand our reach to end-users beyond our franchise
borders, selling power to contestable customers.

22

Over time, we hope to see the threshold of the


contestable market moving from 1 MW to 750
kilowatts (kW), then down to 500 kW, and eventually
all the way down to households. We have been
steadily increasing our sales to contestable customers
since Open Access was implemented in June 2013.
Building capacity ahead of demand, expanding our
networks, Open Access, and our gentailer model will
remain at the core of our growth strategy. We are
also looking at expansion opportunities in overseas
markets where it makes sense from a strategic
standpoint, and where we can earn a risk-adjusted
rate of return on these investments.

We are also refocusing our efforts to grow our loan


book and our other consumer products to adapt to an
environment of high liquidity across the industry.
Food
Pilmicos income contribution for 2014 grew by
4% year-on-year to P1.3 billion, propelled by the
remarkable performance of our farms whose net
income jumped by 101% to P377 million. Despite
the influx of cheaper imported flour, our flour
volume increased by 2%, while our feeds volume
grew by 8%, effectively increasing our market
share.
The company experienced a landmark year as it
ushered the Aboitiz Groups entry into the ASEAN
market. Pilmico acquired a 70% equity stake in
Vietnam-based feed mill operator Vinh Hoan 1
Feed JSC (VHF), its first feed mill operations in the
country. We will continue to explore opportunities
for cross-border trade in the region.
We have allocated a total of P2.7 billion to support
Pilmicos efforts to build a new layer farm and
expand the capacity of various facilities for its feeds
and farms divisions.

Land
AboitizLand registered a 132% year-on-year growth in
its income contribution of P633 million in 2014. The
growth was mainly driven by the completion of its
acquisition of LiMA Land, higher residential sales, and
increased commercial occupancy levels. The Outlets
at Pueblo Verde achieved 100% occupancy within its
first year of operations.
Marking 20 years of building and nurturing
communities, AboitizLands sales reached new
heights as it reached the P3-billion mark, which
is 86% higher than last years performance. The
company is spending P3.7 billion mostly to build its
land bank as it continues to aggressively expand on
the national level and ensure a sustainable flow of
pipeline projects.
In 2015, our joint venture with Ayala Land will break
ground for the development of a new 15-hectare city
center in Mandaue, Cebu that will include innovative
residential, commercial, and office hubs.
Infrastructure
As your Chairmen Jon and Endika have mentioned,
we are adding infrastructure and infrastructurerelated businesses as our fifth business leg. The
Philippines needs to raise public infrastructure
spending from 2.5% to 5% of GDP to catch up with
its ASEAN neighbors. We see huge public and private
investment in this sector in the next 10-15 years, and
we want to play a significant role in it.
Despite delays in the bidding and review process
of governments Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
projects, and our experience during the CaviteLaguna Expressway project bidding, we remain
supportive of these programs. However, we intend to
go beyond dependence on PPP alone, and will pursue
selective acquisition opportunities and project
developments from scratch.
We are currently working on the necessary permits
for the Davao bulk water project, together with
our partner, J.V. Angeles Construction. This project
involves the construction of a water treatment facility

and conveyance system that will deliver 300 million


liters per day (MLD) of treated bulk water to support
Davao Citys growing needs. This is the countrys
largest private bulk water supply project to date.
We also joined a consortium with Ayala Land, SM
Prime Holdings and Megaworld to participate in
the bidding for the P123-billion Laguna Lakeshore
Expressway-Dike Project.
Corporate Center
As we pursue further growth, we will strengthen
the AEV Corporate Center as the knowledge center,
governance agent, and business partner of our
strategic business units. It will continue to introduce
best-in-class knowledge and practices, take the
lead in implementing Group initiatives, and provide
value-added services. The Corporate Center is also
responsible for defining policies and standards that
will bring everyone across the Group to the same
level of excellence.
As Jon and Endika mentioned in their message, in
2014 we extensively reviewed the Groups current
and future strategy. The review enabled us to
confirm that our four strategic pillars are still very
much relevant to the Groups future direction.
These pillars are: grow the business, stakeholder
engagement, execution excellence, and build human
capital.
We intend to continue growing AEV but our
challenge is not to grow at all costs, but expand in a
way where we still generate returns that are above
our cost of capital. We also want to grow while
maintaining prudent levels of debt.
Without our stakeholders, we cannot accomplish
our goals. We need to consistently deliver value to
all of them, including our shareholders, our team
members, regulators, our customers, and our
communities. Delivering value is at the heart of
stakeholder engagement.
To support our growth, it is imperative that we build
human capital. We will continue to keep a deep pool

Banking
UnionBanks income contribution dropped by 21%

Despite all the additional debt, your companys


balance sheet remains strong, with relatively low
gearing. At year-end 2014, net-debt-to-equity stood
at only 0.5x, with net-debt-to-EBITDA at 1.5x. AEVs
consolidated debt maturity profile is well within the
parameters we have set to mitigate liquidity and
refinancing risk over the remaining life of this debt.
And with the historically low interest rates currently
prevailing, we have deployed a strategy of locking
in interest rates on almost all of our term debt, to
minimize interest rate risk.

In March 2014, your Board approved a total cash


dividend of P1.80 per share, which included a special
dividend of P0.53. Total dividends paid amounted to
P9.9 billion, or 47% of the previous years earnings,
which is well above our 33% minimum dividend
payout ratio. This translated to a dividend yield at the
time of 3%.

We are currently in the advanced stages of closing


several project finance packages for our newest
greenfield power plant projects, including our
510-MW baseload plant in Toledo City, Cebu and
our 68-MW Manolo Fortich run-of-river hydropower
plants in Bukidnon. We expect to close these
transactions within the third quarter or earlier. AEV
also intends to tap the retail bond market in the
second half to fund various infrastructure-related
businesses. I am grateful to the various domestic
and foreign financial institutions for their valuable
support in all these debt transactions.

2015 promises to be an exciting year for AEV as


we continue to explore new opportunities for
growth, both at home and in the region. The
business landscape is evolving on all fronts, and we
are gearing up financially and preparing for these
changes. We are confident that we will continue to
play a meaningful role in the countrys growth story,
mindful of our mission to do well by doing good.
In closing, I wish to thank our various stakeholders
our customers, partners, lenders, and suppliers
for their continued support to the Group. I would
also like to thank you, our dear shareholders, for
your unwavering confidence and trust in your entire
management team.

We have also taken steps to further improve the


way we manage our risks, with the objective of
achieving the optimal balance between retaining and
transferring risk, based on our clear understanding of
our risk appetite and value at risk.
Your company has aggregated the Groups insurance
requirements and has come up with facility
programs to further improve the insurance cover
for both our operational assets and new projects
under development. This initiative has resulted in
lower premiums, more clarity on cover, and better

An n ual Report

Consolidated EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,


Depreciation, and Amortization) rose by 5% yearon-year to P38.4 billion. Beneficial EBITDA, a more
meaningful metric for us, remained flat at P32.7
billion. By the end of the year, cash balances stood at
P50.5 billion.

For 2015, we have budgeted about P60 billion in


capital expenditures (capex), a significant increase
from the P31 billion in 2014. The bulk of this years
capex will go to AboitizPowers continuing efforts,
together with its partners, to increase total capacity
by over 2,000 MW in the next five years. Meanwhile,
our food unit Pilmico is expanding the scale of its
feeds and farm divisions, including the recently
acquired feeds business in Vietnam.

It has also helped us reduce risk through the continuing


risk surveys performed on our operating assets.

2014

In 2014, your company posted a consolidated core


net income of P17.9 billion, a 15% dip from the prior
years figure. Our banking unit posted lower results,
as trading gains in 2014 were not as robust as in
2013. Power generation also saw a drop in its core
income due to several factors, including the expiry
of the tax incentives granted to Therma Luzon, the
weaker performance of SN Aboitiz Power, due to low
water levels, and the full-year effect of the new steam
supply contract in our geothermal power unit. This
core income translates to an earnings per share of
P3.24, and a Return on Shareholders Equity of 20%.
Total earnings contributions from AEVs strategic
business units came from power, which accounted
for 71%, followed by banking at 18%, food at 7%, and
land at 4%.

To help us gear up for our growth initiatives,


AboitizPower tapped the bond market for its capital
expenditures (capex) last year, raising P10 billion from
the issuance of our fixed-rate retail bonds, which
earned the highest possible score from PhilRatings for
their strength as a debt instrument. We also closed
a new loan amounting to P33 billion to support our
Pagbilao expansion project. I am pleased to note that
for both these deals, we were able to secure terms
that reflect the risk profile and long-term nature of
our investments.

In April 2014, we were able to pay out a total of P12.2


billion in cash dividends, or 66% of the previous years
earnings, with a yield of 4.0%.

For 2015, AboitizPower together with its partners


have earmarked about P52 billion for capex as part of
the companys ongoing efforts to boost total capacity
by around 2,000 MW over the next five years. These
investments will be tapping the right mix of energy
sources that aim to balance the interests of people,
planet, and profit. We recognize that demand for
power will continue to grow as the economy expands,
and we are prepared to do our share.

Armed with a strong balance sheet and healthy


cash flows, we are more than prepared to continue
expanding our portfolio by investing in greenfield and
brownfield projects nationwide to keep pace with the
countrys economic progress. After all, we consider
it our responsibility to provide reliable, ample, and
reasonably priced power. It is our way of doing well
by doing good. I will do my best as your CFO to work
closely with our stakeholders to realize this.

Despite many challenges, AboitizPower has remained


committed to deliver value to its stakeholders. Market
capitalization is now at P315.7 billion, an increase of
26% from P250.2 billion in 2013. Combining this with
our historically attractive dividend yield, total return
to shareholders registered at a compounded annual
growth rate of 42% over the past five years.

To bankroll these growth plans, we expect to draw

which will help enhance equity returns. This is
possible because as a company, we have maintained
a strong balance sheet over the years, with a current

Power Generation
AboitizPower currently generates electricity
from coal, geothermal, oil, and hydro power,
and recently forged a partnership to develop
its solar energy capability.

How Power is Provided

Power Distribution
AboitizPower delivers electricity through its
distribution utilities VECO, Davao Light,
Cotabato Light, SFELAPCO, Subic EnerZone,
Mactan EnerZone, Balamban EnerZone and
LiMA EnerZone.

AboitizPowers strategy is to provide the right mix of energy sources


that supplies the nation with reliable and ample power supply
at a reasonable cost, and produced with the least impact on the
environment and its host communities.

Business Review: Power


Power Generation

Large Hydro

The Generation Group accounted for 81% of


earnings contributions from AboitizPowers business
segments, recording an income share of P13.5 billion
in 2014, down by 11% from P15.2 billion in 2013.
The decline is attributed to the full-year impact of
the implementation of the Geothermal Resource
Sales Contract (GRSC) of the Tiwi-MakBan plants,
the limited operations of the Magat plant due to low
water levels, and the expiration of the Pagbilao and
Magat plants income tax holiday during the year.
The large hydropower plants were also adversely
impacted by lower average prices for both spot and
ancillary sales.
The Groups revenues went down by 1% to P58.4
billion. The attributable net generation rose by 3%
from 10,949 gigawatt hours (GWh) to 11,272 GWh,
as electricity sold through bilateral contracts, which
made up 86% of total energy sold during the period,
expanded by 7% to 9,661 GWh. On the other hand,
spot market sales decreased by 16% from 1,914
GWh to 1,612 GWh as low water levels during the
dry season constrained the operations of the Magat,
Ambuklao, and Binga plants.
Higher capacity sales in 2014 through bilateral
contracts and ancillary services resulted to a 13%
increase in AboitizPowers attributable sales to 1,800
megawatts (MW). The growth was driven by the 200MW full capacity operations of Therma Mobile, Inc.
in the second quarter of 2014, and the increase in

water levels in the second half of 2014 for the large


hydropower plants.

Geothermal

Attributable energy sold from the Tiwi and MakBan


geothermal plants of AP Renewables, Inc. (APRI)
amounted to 2,772 GWh, a 4% decrease from the
previous year due to the post-effects of typhoon Glenda,
affecting the capability of the steam fields during the
second half of the year. This translated to P12.4 billion
in revenues, down by 11% from the previous year, and a
capacity sold factor of 79% for 2014.
On the other hand, fuel costs have increased yearon-year by 20%, with the full-year implementation of
the GRSC and the interim agreement between APRI
and Philippine Geothermal Production Company, Inc.
(PGPC).
In December 2014, Aboitiz Energy Solutions, Inc. (AESI)
successfully secured a 40-MW supply from the Unified
Leyte Geothermal Power Plant (ULGPP) complex as an
Independent Power Producer (IPP) administrator after
the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management
Corporation (PSALM) bid out strips of the power
plants capacity to various IPP administrators.

Attributable volume sold from the large hydropower


plants of SN Aboitiz Power (SNAP) increased by 5% to
1,652 GWh as a result of higher ancillary sales, owing
to the full-year effect of the firm volumes sold to the
National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP),
based on its provisional Ancillary Services Provider
Agreement (ASPA), which took effect in August 2013.
Year-on-year revenues dropped by 32% to P6.2 billion,
as prices from the spot market normalized from its
high levels during the November to December 2013
price hike.
In 2014, SNAP-Magat completed the rehabilitation of
the 360-MW Magat plant after undergoing half-life
refurbishment of the facilitys electro-mechanical
equipment. With its three large plants now operating at
a more efficient level, SNAP is now powering the Luzon
grid with nearly brand-new hydropower plants.
Meanwhile, SNAP-Magat and National Irrigation
Administration (NIA) have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding for SNAP to develop the proposed 6-MW
Maris South Canal and 1.75-MW Maris North Canal minihydropower projects. This was after SNAP-Greenfield
secured renewable energy service contracts (RESCs)
from the DOE for the two projects in December 2013.
SNAP-Greenfield is currently waiting for DOEs approval
of the assignment of the RESCs to SNAP-Magat.

Moreover, SNAP-Ifugao has also secured RESCs for its


proposed 350-MW hydropower complex project in
Ifugao, which is composed of three facilities: the 100MW Alimit and 10-MW Olilicon plants, and the 240-MW
Alimit pumped storage facility. Both the Maris and Alimit
projects are currently in the feasibility study stage.
In late 2014, SNAP-Magat and NIA held a ground-breaking
ceremony for the optimization of the Maris Reservoir. This
project aims to increase the reservoirs storage by 8 million
cubic meters and improve its structure for better irrigation
water delivery and safety by the first quarter of 2016.

Run-of-River Hydro

Attributable energy sold from Hedcors run-of-river


plants rose by 9% to 690 GWh year-on-year, brought
on by the addition of the fully-contracted Tudaya plant
in Davao, which came on-stream in 2014. Capacity
sold factor in 2014 was at 51%, and total revenues
amounted to P3.1 billion, up by 10% from the
previous year.
In its bid to improve operational efficiency, Hedcor
updated and automated some of its plants and
substations in Benguet. 2014 was another banner year
for the company with the completion of its 13.7-MW
Tudaya plants in Davao del Sur, which are now online
to serve Davao Light and Power Company, and Davao
del Sur Electric Cooperative.

Growing its geothermal power supply portfolio,


through the exploration of potential steam wells
in Negron Cuadrado and Mt. Apo, remains one of
AboitizPowers goals for 2015.

Business Review: Power


Generation Companies Overview

Coal

Attributable energy sold from AboitizPowers coal


power plants amounted to 5,511 GWh, slightly up by
2% from 2013. However, revenues from coal plants
were lower by 1% to P23.7 billion, mainly driven by
forced outages experienced by STEAG State Power,
Inc. during the first half of the year and Therma Luzon,
Inc. (TLI) during the onset of typhoon Glenda. Capacity
sold factor still rose to 93%, up by 3% year-on-year as
a result of the full-year effect of TLIs ASPA with NGCP
for 2014.
With demand for power expected to rise in the
coming years, AboitizPower aims to provide reliable
power through its various baseload plants. Hence, the
company launched the 420-MW Pagbilao III circulating
fluidized bed (CFB) coal-fired plant of Pagbilao Energy
Corporation, a consortium of AboitizPower and TeaM
Energy Corporation. Completion is expected in 2017.
Meanwhile, the 300-MW CFB coal-fired plant of
Therma South, Inc. (TSI) in Davao will be online within
2015 and will provide much-needed power to the
Mindanao grid.

Meanwhile, the 340-MW Therma Visayas baseload


plant in Cebu will likewise commence construction
in 2015, and the 600-MW Subic plant is expected to
resume construction after hurdling legal challenges.

from 2013. Capacity sold factor also went up to 95%,
which translates to revenues of P12.9 billion, 46%
higher than the previous year.
The strong growth in revenues largely came from the
full operations of Therma Mobile, Inc. (TMO) in 2014
and its increase in capacity by another 100 MW after
the rehabilitation of its Navotas barges. TMO will
continue to supply a total of 200 MW of capacity to

Business Review: Power


Power Distribution

As in the previous year, all distribution utilities (DUs)


in 2014 registered system losses under the 8.5%
government-mandated cap that resulted to lower
rates. Notably, the DUs succeeded in further reducing
their system losses in 2014 after already being below
the cap in 2013.

The AboitizPower Distribution Groups revenues


increased by 11% from P29.1 billion to P32.3 billion.
The growth was driven by Davao Lights energy sales
amounting to 1,980 GWh, a 12% increase from the
previous year, and VECOs 5% higher attributable
energy sales to 1,397 GWh. Moreover, the four
EnerZones recorded a growth in total energy sales of
21% to 748 GWh due to a 16% growth in demand in
Subic EnerZone and the addition of LiMA EnerZone to
the Distribution Group portfolio. The Groups income
share was largely unchanged at P3.2 billion in 2014.
As a segment, this represents a 19% contribution to
AboitizPowers 2014 results.
Beneficial energy sales increased by 10% to 4,480
GWh from 4,076 GWh in 2013. The growth was driven

The year presented some challenges as the Mindanao


grid faced a supply shortfall in the first half of the
year. But outages in Davao Light and Cotabato Light
were minimized by the standby power plans as well
as participation of many large customers to the
Interruptible Load Program (ILP). Pioneered by VECO,
the ILP is a system relief program aimed to ease the
supply shortage in the Visayas grid, and it is now also
being implemented by Davao Light.
In 2014, various projects were completed to further
improve service efficiency and reliability. VECO
completed its first one-kilometer underground
distribution system in Cebu City, from the Provincial
Capitol to the Fuente Osmea Circle. Two
100-megavolt ampere power transformers were also
commissioned.
AboitizPower was also given support by the United
States Trade and Development Agency to develop
a smart grid roadmap and implementation plan for
the Visayas region. As a result, the Hawkeye Smart
Elevated Meter Cluster technology was devised and
deployed by VECO in 2014.

Business Review: Power


Davao Light is gearing up for the incoming power
supply from Therma South, Inc. (TSI) by completing its
69-kilovolt (kV) substation. It has also begun a sevenyear project to build a robust and reliable distribution
network with the installation of a 69-kV loop system.
With an increase in commercial establishments in its
franchise area and stable power supply from the TSI
Davao Coal project, Davao Light is looking to a fruitful
year ahead.
Cotabato Lights franchise has been renewed for an
additional 25 years, and it is looking forward to a
favorable year with more commercial establishments
coming to the city coupled with the steady power
supply from TSI Davao.
The Power Distribution Group is expecting another
strong year ahead despite the a mild drought in
Mindanao; the presence of TSI is expected to meet
any shortfall in supply.

2015 Outlook: Building A Better Future

For 2015 to 2019, AboitizPower has lined up greenfield


and brownfield projects across the country to meet its
target to increase capacity by 2,000 MW. The company
will also continue to pursue development opportunities,
both locally and abroad, in other energy technologies.

A boit iz P ower Corporati on

The Generation Group recently announced its foray


into solar energy, partnering with United States-based
SunEdison to explore the development of up to 300
MW of utility-scale solar photovoltaic power generation
projects in the Philippines over the next three years.
It has also successfully identified roughly 200 MW of
potential run-of-river hydro power projects located
across the archipelago for the next five years.

44

However, today, while the nation is still in the process


of increasing its power supply capacity, it finds itself
in the midst of a power shortage in Luzon in 2015.
AboitizPower has heeded governments call for an
expanded ILP to combat this supply deficit, and has
encouraged both its contestable customers and
DU customers to participate in the program. Eighty
customers have committed to participate, with a total
177 MW of deloading capacity made available to the
Luzon grid. The company is optimistic that ILP, along
with energy conservation measures, will be sufficient

The Groups drive to innovate and modernize


services will continue in 2015. The Hawkeye Smart
Elevated Meter Cluster technology will begin to be
implemented across the entire distribution group.
Most importantly, the technology will ensure system
resiliency to limit the impact of natural and manmade disasters, as well as further minimize system
loss. To improve operating efficiency and bring down
costs, three major initiatives will continue to be
implemented across the Group in 2015. These are the
rollout of the Quantirisk Energy Management system
to other utilities after its successful deployment
in VECO; Oracles Meter Data Management that is
set to go live by year-end 2015; and the continued
development of Google Maps-based applications.
Underground cabling will continue in VECOs
franchise area while Davao Light will implement it in
2105. Davao Light will also expand its e-Bill service to
all customers.

to address this temporary shortfall while it waits for the


completion of more power plants.
These challenges only reinforce the need to relentlessly
pursue reforms in the power sector, such as Open Access,
which AboitizPower strongly believes is the best way to
support the power industrys continued expansion. The
company looks forward to the continued drop in the
threshold for contestable customers from the current
1 MW and above, to 750 kilowatts (kW), and eventually
to 500 kW, in order to encourage more investors and
assure the viability of the Philippine power industry.
Although this may pose as a threat to its franchises,
AboitizPower believes that its knowledge of the industry
allows the company to offer better power solutions that
will differentiate it from its competitors. Looking ahead,
the company would like to maximize the benefits of Open
Access to further improve income and reduce risks. It
intends to have a balanced portfolio of contracted and
spot capacity, and contract majority of its baseload and
diesel capacity under price-stable bilateral contracts,
while offering most of its hydropower capacity for
peaking and ancillary services. Doing it this way will
minimize volatility while yielding the highest returns for
its resources.

beyond Visayas and Mindanao. By year-end
2014, it had 65 branches nationwide.

Gross revenues slid to P23.1 billion as a result of the 35% drop in


other income, which was not offset by the 12% growth in interest
income. However, income from UnionBanks customer businesses
rose to P15.7 billion, up by 7% from the previous year, driven by
15% and 34% increases in interest income on loans, and fee-based
income to P9.6 billion and P3.3 billion, respectively. These were
underpinned by the healthy expansion in the credit portfolio,
primarily salary loans granted by City Savings Bank. Corresponding
to this improvement, the share of customer businesses in gross
revenues advanced to 68% from 57% a year ago. On the other
hand, income from treasury businesses declined to P7.4 billion,

banking industry, characterized by the continued compression of
net interest margins and tighter regulatory oversight. UnionBank

the P9.0 billion registered in the previous year. This translated to
lower profitability ratios: return on average equity at 15.3% and
return on average assets at 1.7%, albeit better than the industrys

to P1.9 billion.
Total resources expanded by 12% to P443.1 billion,
funded mainly by the increase in bills payable to P48.4
billion and solid growth in total deposits to P311.1
billion. Average low-cost CASA (current and savings
accounts) deposits increased by 22%, reflecting the
Banks continued execution of its branch sales and
cash management strategies.
Average credit portfolio sustained its double-digit
expansion as it rose by 13% to P125.0 billion fuelled
by the robust growth in salary loans, which surged to
P34.1billion. Consequently, total retail loans rose by
over a quarter to P55.7 billion, improving its share of
average credit portfolio to 45% from 38%. Middlemarket lending similarly posted a modest growth of
3% to P23.9 billion while corporate loans were stable
at P45.4 billion.

As UnionBank expands its balance sheet, it will invest


in risk management capabilities at an enterprise level
and sustain deposit build-up initiatives concentrating
on CASA. The Bank shall further strengthen its culture
and promote employee and customer engagement
as a means to enhance its competitive edge in a fast
commoditizing marketplace.

In 2014, Pilmico and the Aboitiz Group officially entered the
ASEAN market with Pilmico International successfully acquiring a
70% equity stake in Vietnamese aqua feeds producer Vinh Hoan
1 Feed JSC (VHF). The remaining 30% stake will be bought in the
next five years at an agreed preset price. Total investment cost in
VHF amounts to US $28 million. The company also established a
representative office in Indonesia.
On the local front, Pilmico made strides in being partners for
growth with a series of projects.
With the farms backyard segment experiencing a drop in its
sow inventory, the company took the opportunity to support
backyard farmers through an advocacy program that aims to
ensure sustainability in their farms.
Mahalin Pagkaing Atin was initially launched in disaster-stricken
areas of Leyte, Cebu, Bohol. Its goal is to go beyond rehabilitation
and start livelihood programs for backyard farmers. For this
campaign, a total of 100 egg machine kits were distributed
in Leyte province to encourage farmers to engage in poultry

Pilmico will advance efforts to further gain market share in the flour industry by exporting to the ASEAN region, opening a
Pilmico Research & Training Bakery in Cebu, and building its own commissary.

Following a 64% YOY growth in the farms EBITDA, Pilmico


will increase its sow level to 14,000 heads to strengthen
its feeds business in the competitive Luzon market.

Our quest for growth and expansion has taken us


outside the Philippines, with our first acquisition
of an aqua feed mill in Vietnam in 2014, and we
have many more plans in the pipeline for 2015. The
first few steps have been challenging and quite
a slow process, but we will accelerate our pace in

so we need to continuously gear up
and arm ourselves with more skills,

In line with Mahalin Pagkaing Atin, the Pilmico Livelihood
Expo was held in Cagayan de Oro City. Activities included
free seminars and live demos on the latest practices and
technology in hog raising and gamefowl breeding, as well
as in bakery operations.
With its annual revenues at P20 billion in 2014, Pilmico
recorded a 22% year-on-year (YOY) hike largely driven by
strengthened volume growth, with the feeds and farms
businesses as major contributors. The newly acquired
feed mill in Vietnam likewise contributed P1.7 billion in
revenues to the Food Group.

With the ASEAN integration in play, competition is


expected to get tougher both on the domestic and
regional fronts. The company also expects to raise the bar
for innovation and quality as it competes head-on with
regional players.

The Food Groups full-year EBITDA also went up by 12%


YOY, with the farms division contributing the most to the
growth. The improvement in market hog prices, increase
in volume, along with operating efficiencies, translated to
a 64% YOY growth in the farms EBITDA.

Pilmico aims to strengthen its flour business as it battles


for market share against cheaper imported flour. The
company will export its flour products to the ASEAN
region, build a Pilmico Research & Training Bakery in
Cebu, as well as explore the commissary business.

The rise in commodity prices, which accounts for


majority of the costs, affected the flour and feeds
businesses. Flour EBITDA went down by 2%, while the
feeds EBITDA dropped by 6% due to the increase in raw
materials, operating expenses, and the one-time project
costs for the investment in Vietnam as well as other
growth initiatives. Feeds Vietnam pitched in P45 million
to EBITDA growth.

To answer consumer demand, the feeds business will


increase its production capacities in Iligan and Tarlac,
build a new inter-island pier facility for raw materials and
finished goods, and introduce additional feeds products.

The last two years saw the expiration of the income tax
holidays of Iligan Feed Mill 1 & 2 with the bulk of the
impact felt in 2014. This resulted to P108 million in taxes
paid in 2014, effectively dragging net income lower.

Pilmico operates primarily in a demand-driven market.


The fast-rising private consumption in the coming years
will bring in greater demand and drive larger volume
production. For these reasons, the company strives to
achieve efficiencies through economies of scale and
integration. It aims to protect margins and grow market
share through strategic expansion and by continuing to
be a low-cost producer.

All of these translated to a 4% increase in Pilmicos


contribution to AEV of P1.3 billion.

The farms business will increase its sow level to 14,000


heads, build additional farm facilities, accelerate
capability for its meats business, and operate its own
layers farms with a monthly output of four million eggs.
Internationally, Pilmico VHF is set to expand its aqua
feed mill in Vietnam. In addition to the existing
representative office in Indonesia, it is also setting up
another one in Vietnam. Pilmico will also actively pursue
other opportunities in the region through mergers and
acquisitions.

Infrastructure: APO Agua


AEV has formed a new joint venture with J.V. Angeles
Construction Corporation (JVACC). The joint venture,
named Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc. (APO Agua), is an
agreement with the Davao City Water District (DCWD)
to design, build, and operate the countrys largest
private bulk water supply project at an estimated cost
of P10 billion.
This project is AEVs first non-power venture in
infrastructure. Under the agreement, APO Agua will
supply the DCWD with up to 300 million liters per day
(MLD) of potable bulk water from the Tamugan River.
The project will directly benefit Davao Citys one million
residents, and its many commercial and industrial
establishments.
JVACC, which has over 48 years of experience
in the construction and development of waterrelated infrastructure in the Philippines, will be the
engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC)
contractor for the entire project.
The project includes the countrys first 100% renewable
energy-powered water treatment facility, giving
Davao City the distinction of having an innovative and
sustainable bulk water supply system.
For the Aboitiz Group, this venture is another
testament of its commitment to Davao City and its
people. For more than 80 years now, Aboitiz has
been supporting the citys growth and advancement,
providing quality and reliable electric service through
Davao Light.
Apart from the bulk water supply project, AEV
is actively participating in various Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) bids including the Laguna Lakeshore
Project (the largest PPP project to date), and the LRT-2
operations and maintenance contract.
In its continuing journey of supporting the nations
long-term needs, the Aboitiz Group will constantly
be on the lookout for infrastructure investment
opportunities.

A strong performance by the companys commercial unit is credited in part to The Outlets at Pueblo Verde, which
achieved 100% occupancy within the first six months of operations.

fuel in the form of liquefied bio-methane or
bio-liquefied natural gas. However, the current
global environment of lower fuel prices has made
the fuel environment very challenging, thus the

on its feet after typhoon Yolanda. This bayanihan
spirit moved the Foundation to fulfill its promise to
rehabilitate more than 200 northern Cebu classrooms
damaged by the typhoon, as part of the Aboitiz
#BangonVisayas relief and rehabilitation program.
With the overwhelming support of kind and generous
donors, the program exceeded its target. In November

This fulfilled promise was the culmination of the


Groups #BangonVisayas efforts, which gave birth to
Aboitiz BetterWorld schools.
Education
Aboitiz BetterWorld aims to provide a better learning
environment for communities with the establishment of
special science elementary school (SSES) and technicalvocational (tech-voc) high schools. It also involves the
construction and repair of regular classrooms, donation
of AGAPP Silid Pangarap classrooms, teacher skills
training, integrated computerization, and scholarships
for deserving students.

Achieving CSR 2.0


Since the late 1980s, the Aboitiz Foundations initiatives
have evolved from a CSR 1.0, which involves simple
philanthropic activities, to more sustainable programs
leading towards a CSR 2.0. The Foundation is now
undertaking bigger programs with longer-term benefits,
are of national scale with greater positive sustainable
impact on beneficiaries, those that are aligned to Aboitiz
businesses and encourage more participation from team
members.

2014, the Foundation formally turned over 272


classrooms192 repaired and 80 newly constructed
to 34 schools in the towns of Bogo, Borbon, San
Remigio, Daanbantayan, and Medellin benefitting more

target: 6 million more trees by 2020.
In June 2014, 10 turtle nests which yielded 1,803 pawikan
eggs were discovered on the beach at the Aboitiz
Cleanergy Park in Davao City. The park is truly becoming a
nature and biodiversity haven as it was envisioned to be.

Health and Well-being

Aboitiz business units continue to extend community


assistance, whenever needed. Medical, dental, and
optical missions conducted last year benefitted more than
11,000 individuals throughout the country. They have also
approved P5 million-worth of water system projects in
2014.

More than 18,000 students were brought back to the comfort and safety of their classrooms as the foundation
fulfilled its promise of rehabilitating 272 classrooms in North Cebu after Yolanda.

Technology
WeatherPhilippines technology partner MeteoGroup,
provides the software which processes data collected
from the AWS, and posts localized forecasts at
weather.com.ph.
Power source configurations and data transmission
capabilities have been improved by developing solar-

Lightning detectors have been installed in the


facilities of WeatherPhilippines partners like Cebu
Pacific to ensure safer operations. These detectors
enhance weather forecasting capabilities in
localized thunderstorm scenarios.
Out of the total 750 AWS already deployed
nationwide, 47 units were installed in the Visayas to
support governments post-Yolanda initiatives. It was
done in partnership with the Office of the Presidential
Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (OPARR).
In priority meteorological sites frequently visited by
typhoons all across the country, 227 AWS have been

with various stakeholders in the public and private
sector. This program will highlight customized
Weather 101 modules that will include storm
tracking and simulation exercises.
WeatherPhilippines will also encourage current
and future partners to use weather technology and
Weather 101 trainings for strategic business planning,
especially in the fields of agriculture, fishing, tourism,
and logistics.

WeatherPhilippines uses the severity matrix to simplify weather alerts and warnings issued during severe
weather conditions. This color-coded system is based on World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standards.

Sustainability is nothing new in the Aboitiz Group. Even


before this global advocacy was coined, sustainability
practices were already implemented in many of its
business units.
To enable the Group to create positive and lasting
contributions, it has forged a commitment to long-term
sustainabilityone that is anchored on the belief that
it can do well by doing good. This means making the
right long-term decisions that balance the interests of
people, planet, and profit.
Since embarking on its sustainability journey in 2009,
Aboitiz has been moving towards embedding its
sustainability agenda throughout the organization.
In 2013, the Group crafted a sustainability policy
and identified focus areas with the ultimate goal of
looking beyond profitability, and exploring better ways
to integrate social development and environmental
stewardship into its business operations.

its 2014 Sustainability Report to demonstrate its


strong adherence to corporate governance principles
and transparency. This also allows the Group to focus
on performance indicators that it deems critical
and important to its business and key stakeholders.
GRI is the globally accepted standard for corporate
sustainability reporting used by more than 3,000
companies worldwide.
In pursuing its vision to be a truly sustainable enterprise
that can be entrusted to future generations, Aboitiz will
continue to instill a mindset that it can do well by doing
good, and always making the right long-term decisions
that balance the interests of people, planet, and profit.
This mindset is founded on the companys core values
of integrity, teamwork, innovation, and responsibility,
which drive its corporate culture.

The path became clearer and more concrete in 2014


with the unveiling of the Aboitiz BetterWorld campaign.

VECOs Cebu Unplugged


Cebu Unplugged is an energy conservation campaign
spearheaded by Visayan Electric Company, Inc.
(VECO) to pave the way for a greener and sustainable
environment for future generations. It aims to
spread awareness, create advocacies, and become an
influence to other provinces.
Cebu Unplugged promotes 8 simple ways one can
conserve energy and reduce Cebus carbon footprint
through the promotion of responsible energy use.
Phase 1 of the campaign involved discussions with
stakeholders: local government units, high school

On the third year of the competition held on October


18, 2014 at the SM City Cebu Trade Hall, a team from
the University of the Philippines Cebu emerged as
the overall winner. The team proposed a livelihood
program for Barangay Camputhaw, which involved
making woven products out of used tarpaulins and
other recyclable materials.

Under the Aboitiz Groups Wealth on Waste Program, projects like the
Green Fashion Revolution help to raise awareness on the 3Rsreduce,
reuse, recycleamong the youth.

The campaign kicked off with the distribution of 100


egg machines in Leyte. This promotes the efficient
production of table eggs and provides their immediate
consumers (neighbors) with fresh and clean produce.

It will serve as backyard integration for those


who already have existing businesses. It will also
provide livelihood to out-of-town entrepreneurs as
the production units are best in areas where prices
of eggs are high.
Aside from egg machines, the new entrepreneurs
will be provided with both technical and social
trainings so they can sustain their business longer
and thus, continuously grow their profits.

increase stakeholder engagement, build human capital,
and carry on execution excellence in everything it does.
Emboldened by the outstanding ratings Aboitiz earned
in a 2014 reputation survey among key stakeholders,
notably in the area of corporate social responsibility
(CSR) where it was rated most excellent, the
Group will now work towards achieving CSR 2.0 in
its programs. This entails moving away from CSR 1.0,
which involves simple philanthropic activities, and
shifting to engaging projects that are more sustainable

More than just being a successful enterprise, Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) and its business units are committed
towards constantly striking a triple balance of people, planet, and profit.

To amplify the impact of its sustainability initiatives,


Aboitiz will also embark on more partnerships,
stakeholder engagement initiatives, and capacity
building. These involve:

In its core businesses of power, banking, food, and land, the organization and its team members serve countless
people during the daily course of operations across the country. They all share a goal to touch and enrich lives,
help stakeholders attain a better future, and collectively care for the one planet that sustains us all.

Continuing to conceptualize and identify viable


programs to minimize its environmental impact.
The Group will pursue its long-term commitment
to plant another 6 million trees nationwide,
develop the 8-hectare outdoor biodiversity
Cleanergy Park in Davao City, and expand to
other areas of operation. Projects that address
the health and well-being of local communities,
including fund drives for disaster relief and
rehabilitation efforts, will also be continued;
Continuing to establish and develop Aboitiz
BetterWorld schools to achieve the goal of
providing universal public education. This means
more special science elementary schools,
technical-vocational high schools, AGAPP Silid
Pangarap donations, and regular Foundation
classrooms, scholarships, and teacher skills
trainings for the public school system;
Expanding the microfinance base and training
organized groups outside Cebu to improve
community livelihood and employment
opportunities;
Conducting the annual Aboitiz Future Leaders
Business Summit (AFLBS), participated by the
brightest college student leaders all over the
country, to further develop their leadership
skills and learn how to concretize management
concepts in a corporate environment;
Training local governments on the basics of
weather and tropical cyclones so they can apply
their knowledge to improve their communities
tourism, agriculture and fisheries, and local
economy; and
Identifying viable projects that will involve
more team member participation and engaging
stakeholders more closely through the use of
social media and other possible channels of
communication.

The Group is committed to making Aboitiz a truly sustainable enterprise that can be entrusted to future
generations.

the environment and communities.
AboitizPower is passionate about achieving its vision and
goals. The company has been constantly striving to be
the best at operations, maintenance, capacity and supply
optimization, as well as project execution. With the goal
of becoming a world-class organization, AboitizPower
has set its goals to creating a good-to-great organization
with policies and standards that promote cost efficiency

Role of Stakeholders

The business model of AEV and AboitizPower is one


anchored on the sustainable growth of the Groups
businesses with full engagement of its stakeholders.
The key stakeholders comprise the team leaders and
team members who work toward achieving business
strategies; the host communities they work with; the
local government units that support and host the Groups
businesses; the customers whom they serve, and the
environment that sustains their growth.
The Group recognizes that corporate governance
principles revolve around relationships between and
among these stakeholders and the Groups goals.
Together, they contribute to the successful pursuit
of business goals. AEV and AboitizPower corporate
governance practices include policies and procedures
that promote awareness and observance of stakeholders
rights at the company level.

The Aboitiz Group is committed to the principles of


sustainability to balance the interests of people, planet,
and profit. By following this rule, the Group has obtained
and maintained a good health, safety, and environmental
track record, a clear proof that a business can align
itself to the principles of sustainability while operating a
profitable business.
The Group launched its Sustainability Policy in 2013,
in the belief that all stakeholders must be treated
with fairness and that corporate social responsibility
is an integral part of doing business. In 2014, AEV and
AboitizPower continued to implement this policy and as
an initiative for the year, jointly launched the BetterWorld
campaign to encourage all stakeholders to adopt this
policy for sustainability. (See Sustainability Report at
www.aboitizfoundation.org)
As a commitment to its employees, both AEV and
AboitizPower embarked on a transformational leadership
program across the organization through the creation
of Leadership Circles. As a result of the Leadership Circle
initiatives, both organizations committed to six leadership
dimensions that would characterize the way the leaders
of AEV and AboitizPower would lead.
The leadership dimensions are mentoring and
development, fostering teamwork, courageous
authenticity, achieving results, sustaining growth, and
integrity. These are intended to transform the Aboitiz
organization from good to great, with the objective to
achieve sustainable breakthrough performance.
The Aboitiz Group is especially proud of its track record
in corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments.
AEV and AboitizPower, through their business units
and through the Aboitiz Foundation, Inc., have long
standing and deeply rooted practices, commitments,
and partnerships in the field of CSR. Over the last five
years, the Group has allocated more than P2 billion for
its various CSR projects that are focused on education,
enterprise development, and the environment
For 2014 alone, the Aboitiz Foundation earmarked around
P423 million for its CSR projects. These projects were
funded by the business units of AEV and AboitizPower. (See
Aboitiz Foundation Report on its website)

AEV and AboitizPower each have three Board


committees established to assist their respective
Boards in their oversight responsibility over the Aboitiz
business units. These committees are the Board
Corporate Governance Committee (incorporates the
former Nomination and Remuneration Committee), the
Board Risk and Reputation Management Committee,
and the Board Audit Committee. Three independent

industry competence, AEV and AboitizPower organize
seminars, lectures and orientations on highly technical
topics unique to or relevant to the Aboitiz Groups
businesses. These include discussions on changing
regulatory oversight of the WESM market and their
impact to AboitizPower, analysis and review of Aboitiz
company risks, the ASEAN integration, the ASEAN

briefings, and the Aboitiz Groups strategic objectives and
identified strategies.

The Boards and Management of AEV and AboitizPower


believe that good governance, especially in the
areas of disclosure and transparency, earns the trust
of stakeholders. The Aboitiz Group provides a high
premium to its collective reputation and exerts efforts
to maintain the trust gained from its dealings with
stakeholders over the years.
To this end, AEV and AboitizPower strive to consistently
maintain their legal compliance and good corporate
governance track record. For 2014, there was no
deviation from or violation of the rules set forth in the
Manual of Corporate Governance, other company
governance and compliance policies, and protocols.
Below is the 2014 PSE Governance Disclosure Report of
AEV and AboitizPower, in a nutshell.
Pursuant to the Groups commitment to transparency
and accountability, AEV and AboitizPower have
maintained their own dedicated corporate governance

company information such as the annual corporate
governance reports, the Board Committees, the Manual
of Corporate Governance, Code of Ethics and Business
Conduct, minutes of the Annual Shareholders Meetings,
investor relations data, and other relevant information
to stakeholders. The pages serve as a resource center for
stakeholders and the public. As part of the commitment

to sustainability, AEV and AboitizPower are maximizing


the use of digital technology rather than using scarce
paper sources.

Building Human Capital


The Aboitiz Way
When the Aboitiz Group crystallized its business
objectives into four strategic pillars Grow the Business,
Stakeholder Engagement, Execution Excellence, and
Build Human Capital HRs role in the organization could
not have been any clearer. The team needed to step up
and heed the call to gear up for growth and expansion.
As a response, HR quickly came up with their own set
of strategic goals for the next three years under the HR
pillars of Attract, Retain, and Optimize.

Strengthening the Ability to Acquire Talent


through Innovative Talent Attraction Strategies

The Aboitiz employer brand tagline BetterWays,


launched in 2013, was derived from the Aboitiz brand
essence of Passion for Better Ways.
In 2014, the challenge for the team was clear:
Bring the brand message closer to all A-People and
make them brand beacons while reaching out to
potential A-People outside the organization. Business
imperatives set out a tall order for HR to push the
boundaries in finding better ways to market the
employer brand using non-traditional media.

Internally, several campaigns were rolled out


and integrated to various existing team member
engagement programs. BetterWays became more
than just a tagline; it became every A-Persons story
of why they work in Aboitiz. During the BetterWays
Day anniversary celebration, team members across
the Group became living examples of BetterWays. The
BetterWays e-bulletin and the visual campaign known
as the BetterWays Challenge were launched to keep
the brand spirit alive.
Tapping non-traditional ways of reaching external
talents, Aboitiz Careers added a fresh set of
innovative talent attraction strategies to its already
broad and assorted roster of social media talent
sources. The new Aboitiz Careers mobile application,
one of the first career mobile apps in the Philippines,
is steadily gaining ground. Betterways.ph, a nonbranded work and lifestyle improvement tips
website, has opened a new pool of talent sources
for the Groups career site, and being a member of
LinkedIn Premium has already produced quick wins in
its hiring success rate.

These leadership dimensions were then cascaded to


all officers across the Group. In order to sustain these
throughout the organization, group initiatives geared
towards closing the gap between the current and
future state of each dimension among the leaders
were identified.

For instance, Pilmico revitalized its Partners in

Generation Group rolled out the Inyovation Program,
a play on the words inyo (your) and innovation,
to encourage and reward teams for coming up with

the BetterWays Forum and embedded the values in

Various programs that highlight these values have
been put in place across the Group as business units
work towards instilling them in their respective
organizations.

In order to measure knowledge and behavioral


indicators, the Reputation Management Team
conducted a brand health check. The results showed a
very clear understanding of each of the values and how
these are manifested and experienced in the workplace,
scoring a consistent 4 out of 5 for both knowledge
and behavior. Indeed, the HR Team is moving a step
closer everyday in achieving their goal of cultivating the
Aboitiz Way across the Group.

Risk Management

To protect and ensure the long-term sustainability of all of their initiatives, HR has embarked on measuring
and managing human capital risk. Group HR has gone through the rigorous exercise of risk management by
identifying, assessing, and mapping out the human resource risks across the Group and coming up with a
treatment for each identified risk.
HR is also poised to take a hard and honest look at their operations, systems, and processes with the goal of
becoming best in class. To do this, the team has turned to renowned HR experts and engaged Aon Hewitt
to conduct a full-blown audit of the Aboitiz HR practices and procedures from both the tactical and the
strategic angles. The whole process took place in three months as 14 different areas of people practices
were thoroughly examined. Each of these people practices fall under five key HR pillars:

Aboitiz Enterprise Risk Management:


Achieving Level 4 in Risk Maturity
Now on its third year of assessing the risk maturity of
the Aboitiz Group, AEV is pleased to announce that
the Groups average rating is at 3.9 on a scale of 1 -5.
This puts the Group at the top 15% of all organizations
that participate in the global Risk Maturity Index (RMI)
assessment conducted by AON annually. The 2014
assessment was participated by 110 Aboitiz Group
team leaders, including board members, C-Suite, key
operating team leaders, and risk managers from 16
business units.
The RMI is designed to assess, benchmark, and track
an organizations risk management process covering 10
characteristicsboard understanding and commitment,
risk stewardship, risk communication, engagement
and accountability, risk identification, stakeholder
participation, risk information & decision making
process, integration and human capital processes, risk
analysis and quantification, and value creation.
Achieving level 4 in risk maturity is about achieving
enterprise resiliency.

The audit arrived at four general conclusions

 Most Aboitiz HR practices are very mature


with several Best Practices in place, although
differences exist across BUs

A boit iz Equi ty Vent ures , In c.

82

Top priorities for improvement are


Strategic Workforce Planning, Performance
Management, Career Management and People
Manager Development

To prepare for regional growth, Aboitiz should


consider implementing common HR IT Systems
and enhancing HR Shared Services capabilities

Strong Leadership buy-in and support will be


necessary to continue to succesfully position
Aboitiz HR for the future

The results are both inspiring and challenging. The HR team has their work cut out for them in the next few
years as they polish and refine processes to ultimately achieve best practice level. One thing is certain for
Aboitiz HR: they will be moving with passion toward better ways as one HR team, aiming only to achieve HR
excellence for the organization.

Over the last three years, AEV and the Group


business units have worked together in developing
and executing the key deliverables to achieve level 4
anchored on four pillars or focus areas of the Aboitiz
Group Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework:

Governance
An established governance structure that supports
the risk management process across the Group

Risk Finance
A risk finance strategy and program to achieve an
acceptable balance of retaining and transferring
risks

Capability Building
A continuous education and training program that
builds organization capability, raises awareness,
and enhances the Groups understanding of
managing and measuring risk

These programs, many of them already ongoing,


require updating and enhancement year on year to
manage internal and external business challenges and
opportunities.
An integral part of the Aboitiz Groups ERM efforts
is to understand and anticipate risks that are crucial
to the success of AEV and its businesses. The Group,
therefore, undertakes an annual risk management
process to identify and report on new and emerging
risks, as well as changes to existing key risks, with
special emphasis on treatment mechanisms relating to
said risks. A detailed discussion of these risks is in the
2014 AEV 20-IS Form submitted to the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

2015 Onwards: Sustaining Enterprise Resilience

84

AEVs risk governance and management will continue


to evolve as the Group faces an ever-changing business
environment in its journey to build organization
resiliency. The organization has to be ready for an
unwelcome visit by Murphy, or of a disaster like
Typhoon Yolanda that has catastrophic impact.
With the Groups growth and expansion plans, the
magnitude of risk exposures and opportunities
increases. Sustaining enterprise resiliency can
become difficult; it is therefore imperative to raise

awareness and understanding about emerging and


new risks. The more aware the Group is of the risks
and opportunities in all areas of its businesses, the
better its capability to weather turbulent storms.
Strongly committed to risk management excellence,
the Aboitiz Group believes that enterprise resiliency is
essential in order to achieve its mission to create longterm value for all its stakeholders.

The Audit Committee Report to the Board of Directors

Membership
As of December 31, 2014, the Board Audit Committee is composed of five (5) members, three (3) of whom are independent directors.
Jose C. Vitug, a retired Justice of the Supreme Court (Independent Director) Chair of the Committee is ably assisted by Atty. Raphael
P. M. Lotilla (Independent Director), Stephen T. CuUnjieng (Independent Director), Justo A. Ortiz (Executive Director) and Roberto E.
Aboitiz (Non-Executive Director).
Meetings
There were four (4) regular Committee meetings held during the yearMarch 4, May 6, July 22 and October 28one (1) special
meeting on July 30, and two (2) joint meetingsJune 2 and Dec 11with the Board Risk and Reputation Management Committee.
Also present in these meetings is the Group Internal Audit Head, the Chief Reputation and Risk Management Officer, and by invitation,
the AEV Chief Financial Officer and the AEV Controller.
Financial Reports
On a high level basis, the Committee reviewed, discussed, and endorsed for the approval of the Board the quarterly unaudited
consolidated financial statements and the annual audited financial statements of Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc., and its Subsidiaries.
Included in the review are the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations after these have
been presented and discussed with management, accounting and the companys independent external auditor, SyCip Gorres Velayo &
Co. (SGV)a member practice of Ernst & Young (EY) in the Philippines.
The activities of the Audit Committee were performed in the following context:
That management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the financial reporting process; and
T hat the companys independent external auditor is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Companys
audited financial statements with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.
Independent Auditors
On July 22, 2014, the Board Audit Committee endorsed the re-appointment of SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co. (SGV) as the independent
external auditor for the company. The overall scope and audit plan of SGV were reviewed and approved during the October 28, 2014,
regular Board Audit Committee meeting. The terms of engagement which covers audit-related services provided by SGV and its related
fees were also reviewed and found to be reasonable.
The results of the SGV audits and its assessment of the overall quality of the financial reporting process were discussed. SGV presented
the effects of changes in relevant accounting standards and presentation of financial statements that impact on the reported results.
These matters were covered during the first Board Audit Committee meeting held the following year on March 5, 2015.

A boit iz Equi ty Vent ures , In c.

The delegation to the Board of Directors of the appointment of the Companys external auditor was made upon the recommendation
of the Board Audit Committee.

108

Also, in the review of non-audit services provided by independent auditors, the Committee unanimously concurred/ratified the
opinion that there is no conflict of interest and that the work that Ernst & Young (Indonesia) have been contracted to do for the
Company is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by relevant regulations.
Internal Auditors
The Group Internal Audit (GIA) takes the lead in setting the standards, initiatives and overall direction of the group-wide resident
internal audit teams deployed to the different business units. It remains to be the single point of contact for the Board Audit
Committee. The restructuring of the internal audit organization has proven to be a worthwhile endeavour as the scope and coverage of
audits have increased with resident audit teams being able to specialize in areas of business covered by their teams.

The Committee reviewed and approved the annual audit program for the year which also covers the adequacy of resources,
qualifications and competency of the staff and independence of the internal auditor.
With reference to the IPPF Attribute Standard 1100 which states that The Internal Audit Activity must be independent, and internal
auditors must be objective in performing their work, the Committee confirms that the internal auditors conducted its responsibilities
objectively and in an unbiased manner. The Committee further confirms that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the auditors
have no personal or other impairments that prevent them from objectively planning, conducting, reporting, or otherwise participating
and reaching independent conclusions in the audit assignments in 2014. Internal audit is organizationally positioned to be
independentadministratively reporting to the President and Chief Executive Officer and functionally reporting to the Board Audit
Committee.
Based on the information from the results of the audits conducted in 2014 for Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc., its subsidiaries and
alliances, with the contribution provided by management and other key leaders on the issues raised to their attention, Internal Audit
believes that, overall there is reasonable assurance that the existing system of internal controls allows for a generally adequate
management of identified risks and effectively supports the improvement of the management of the Company as a whole.
Review of the Audit Charter
The Committee reviewed and assessed the current audit charter in its meeting held October 29, 2014 and found it adequate. No
modification were found to be needed.
Self-Assessment
The Committee conducted its annual self-assessment in accordance with the guidelines of SEC Memo Cir. No. 4, series of 2012. The
assessment result showed that it fully complied with the requirements set forth in the Audit Charter and met the necessary and most
important requirements set by global standards and best practices.
Risk Management
The Committee had two (2) joint meetings with the Board Risk and Reputation Management Committee in 2014 where the updated
results of the Risk Management Plan validation conducted by GIA, and the resident audit teams were presented. Considering the
dynamic nature of risks, this closed-looped process from risk identification to risk treatment validation should be ongoing and
continual in order to ensure that risk treatment activities that the business units commit to do are being done. The ultimate value of
this process is to assist the business units in enhancing their capability to manage and monitor its top risks.
It is in the joint meetings that the members of the Audit Committee are apprised of the top key strategic risks consequential to the
Companys ability to execute its strategies and achieve its business objectives for the following year. High-level risk exposures are
presented and discussed as these issues can affect shareholder value and ultimately the viability of the company. The significant
potential impact of these strategic risks warrants a more focused attention from the board and its directors.
As in previous years, the Committee continues to monitor action plans and commitments developed by management to address audit
issues and to ensure that proposed solutions are workable, strategic and sustainable.
Finally, the Committee has undertaken its activities to see to it that it continues to deepen its focus on the integrity of financial
reporting, effectiveness of internal controls, risk management, governance and compliance within the Aboitiz Power group of
companies.
In behalf of the Committee,

Jose C. Vitug
(Retired Justice, Supreme Court/Independent Director)
Chairman

A boit iz Equi ty Vent ures , In c.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Aboitiz Power Corporation


Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements

The Audit Committee Report to the Board of Directors

Membership
As of December 31, 2014, the Board Audit Committee is composed of five (5) members, three (3) of whom are independent directors.
I, Carlos C. Ejercito, Independent Director and Chair of the Committee is ably assisted by Romeo L. Bernardo (Independent Director),
Alfonso A. Uy (Independent Director), Mikel A. Aboitiz (Non-Executive Director) and Antonio R. Moraza (Executive Director).
Meetings
There were four (4) regular Committee meetings held during the yearMarch 4, May 6, July 22 and October 28one (1) special
meeting on July 30, and two (2) joint meetingsJune 2 and Dec 11with the Board Risk and Reputation Management Committee.
Also present in these meetings is the Group Internal Audit Head, the Chief Reputation and Risk Management Officer, and by invitation,
the Aboitiz Power Chief Financial Officer and the AP Controller.
Financial Reports
On a high level basis, the Committee reviewed, discussed, and endorsed for the approval of the Board the quarterly unaudited
consolidated financial statements and the annual audited financial statements of Aboitiz Power Corporation and Subsidiaries. Included
in the review are the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations after these have been
presented and discussed with management, accounting and the companys independent external auditor, SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co.
(SGV)a member practice of Ernst & Young (EY) in the Philippines.
The activities of the Audit Committee were performed in the following context:
That management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the financial reporting process; and
T hat the companys independent external auditor is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Companys
audited financial statements with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.
Independent Auditors
On July 22, 2014, the Board Audit Committee endorsed the re-appointment of SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co. (SGV) as the independent
external auditor for the company. The overall scope and audit plan of SGV were reviewed and approved during the October 28, 2014
regular Board Audit Committee meeting. The terms of engagement which covers audit-related services provided by SGV and its related
fees were also reviewed and found to be reasonable.
The results of the SGV audits and its assessment of the overall quality of the financial reporting process were discussed. SGV presented
the effects of changes in relevant accounting standards and presentation of financial statements that impact on the reported results.
These matters were covered during the first Board Audit Committee meeting held the following year on March 5, 2015.

A boit iz P ower Corporati on

The delegation to the Board of Directors of the appointment of the Companys external auditor was largely upon the recommendation
of the Board Audit Committee.

126

Also, in the review of non-audit services provided by independent auditors, the Committee unanimously concurred/ratified the
opinion that there is no conflict of interest and that the work that Ernst & Young (Indonesia) have been contracted to do for the
Company is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by relevant regulations.
Internal Auditors
The Group Internal Audit (GIA) takes the lead in setting the standards, initiatives and overall direction of the group-wide resident
internal audit teams deployed to the different business units. It remains to be the single point of contact for the Board Audit
Committee. The restructuring of the internal audit organization has proven to be a worthwhile endeavour as scope and coverage of
audits have increased with resident audit teams being able to specialize in areas of business covered by their teams.

All technical audits related to information systems and technology are handled by the group internal auditors until such time that
competencies to handle such audits can be transferred to the resident audit teams. Focus areas reviewed in 2014 include information
technology general controls and software applications reviews.
The Committee reviewed and approved the annual audit program for the year which also covers the adequacy of resources,
qualifications and competency of the staff and independence of the internal auditor.
With reference to the IPPF Attribute Standard 1100 which states that The Internal Audit Activity must be independent, and internal
auditors must be objective in performing their work, the Committee confirms that the internal auditors conducted its responsibilities
objectively and in an unbiased manner. The Committee further confirms that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the
auditors have no personal or other impairments that prevent them from objectively planning, conducting, reporting, or otherwise
participating and reaching independent conclusions in their audit assignments in 2014. Internal audit is organizationally positioned to
be independentadministratively reporting to the President and Chief Executive Officer and functionally reporting to the Board Audit
Committee.
Based on the information from the results of the audits conducted in 2014 for Aboitiz Power Corporation, its subsidiaries and alliances,
with the contribution provided by management and other key leaders on the issues raised to their attention, Internal Audit believes
that, overall there is reasonable assurance that the existing system of internal controls allows for a generally adequate management of
identified risks and effectively supports the improvement of the management of the Company as a whole.
Review of the Audit Charter
The Committee reviewed and assessed the current audit charter in its meeting held October 28, 2014 and found it adequate. No
modification needed.
Self-Assessment
The Committee conducted its annual self-assessment in accordance with the guidelines of SEC Memo Cir. No. 4, series of 2012. The
assessment result showed that it fully complied with the requirements set forth in the Audit Charter and met the necessary and most
important requirements set by global standards and best practices.
Risk Management
The Committee had two (2) joint meetings with the Board Risk and Reputation Management Committee in 2014 where the updated
results of the Risk Management Plan validation conducted by GIA and the resident audit teams were presented. Considering the
dynamic nature of risks, this closed-looped process from risk identification to risk treatment validation should be ongoing and continual
to ensure that risk treatment activities that the business units commit to do are being done. The ultimate value of this process is to
assist the business units in enhancing their capability to manage and monitor its top risks.
It is also in these joint meetings that the members of the Audit Committee are apprised of the top key strategic risks consequential to
the Companys ability to execute its strategies and achieve its business objectives for the following year. High-level risk exposures are
presented and discussed as these can affect shareholder value and ultimately the viability of the company. The significant potential
impact of these strategic risks warrants a more focused attention from the board and its directors.
As in previous years, the Committee continues to monitor action plans and commitments developed by management to address audit
issues and to ensure that proposed solutions are workable, strategic and sustainable.
Finally, the Committee has undertaken its activities to ensure that it continues to deepen its focus on the integrity of financial
reporting, effectiveness of internal controls, risk management, governance and compliance within the Aboitiz Power group of
companies.
In behalf of the Committee,

Carlos C. Ejercito
Chairman, Independent Director
