Globe say, “Good connection, good day!”—as the telecommunications giant wrapped up its full-year 2025 financial media briefing, the mood was upbeat and numbers were even more impressive. Guided by Chito Maniego from Globe’s Sustainability and Corporate Communications team, the session highlighted both financial performance and digital innovation achievements.
President and CEO Karl Cruz kicked off the briefing noting, “For Globe, we will rather spend on experience than on pricing,” a philosophy that underpinned the company’s record-breaking results. Globe posted 43.4 billion pesos in quarterly revenues, fueling a full-year revenue of 165.1 billion pesos, with data services making up a whopping 88 percent of its top line. “Even amidst typhoons, floods, and extreme heat, Filipinos’ digital habits kept growing—and so did Globe,” Cruz quipped, illustrating the resilience of the business.
The mobile segment shined, with revenues reaching 116.9 billion pesos, driven by a rising subscriber base of 65.8 millionand a 4 percent year-on-year growth in mobile data traffic. Broadband also made waves: fiber subscriptions surged by 43 percent, totaling 2.1 million households, thanks to G-Fiber Prepaid’s flexible plans and fast installation times. “We’re turning everyday homes into high-speed hubs,” noted Abigail Cardina, VP for Globe Broadband Business.
Globe’s digital ecosystem, led by Mint (parent of GCash), contributed 22 percent of pre-tax income, supporting initiatives like Commute QR for faster MRT payments, G-Bonds, G-Loan Protect, and even G-Crypto trading. “Finance for all isn’t just a tagline—it’s a daily experience for millions of Filipinos,” said Karl.
On the innovation front, Globe became the first in Southeast Asia to offer Starlink’s direct-to-device satellite service, bridging connectivity gaps during disasters and extending coverage to remote islands. The company also expanded its 5G footprint, ensuring high-speed, consistent connectivity in Metro Manila and key cities nationwide.
2025 was also a year of recognition: Globe earned Great Place to Work certification, won the Best ESG Practices Telecom in the Philippines Award, and was lauded for broadband excellence. Cruz summed it up best: “We’re not just connecting phones; we’re connecting lives, businesses, and opportunities across the Philippines.”
With strong financials, robust digital platforms, and a clear vision for 5G and satellite expansion, Globe enters 2026 poised to deliver experiences, innovations, and impact like never before.
