PLDT's enterprise business grew its net profit for the first nine months of the year by 11% to 25.3 billion pesos ($502.7 million), driven by a strong performance across its product lines.
ICT service revenues showed the strongest gains of 23%. Data and ICT services revenues now account for 63% of PLDT's enterprise businesses, representing 16 billion pesos for the nine-month period.
Enterprise voice and text revenue meanwhile grew 6% year-on-year to account for the remaining 37% of the nine-month revenues.
The operator is meanwhile expanding into new areas, having launched the #Ready initiative under its smart city program to help government agencies improve command center operations before and during natural disasters.
PLDT Enterprise is also working with key industries such as the IT business process management segment to plan and roll out ICT infrastructure for the years ahead.
“We are now enabling even more large companies, the outsourcing industry, the public sector, and small and medium enterprises not just with reliable connectivity and basic telco services but relevant and competitive data-driven solutions that help them achieve success and better serve their customers," PLDT chief revenue officer Eric Alberto said.
“Our continued investments in both technology and expertise have allowed us to win the confidence of our enterprise customers. We tirelessly work with them not as service providers but as true business partners who are enabling their pursuit of success."
