MANILA, PHILIPPINES (October 13, 2022) – Fresh from its January initial public offering this year, the
fast-growing food group Figaro Coffee Group, Inc. (PSE: FCG) reported its first full fiscal year audited
financial results ending June 30, 2022. The company delivered a top-line sales number of P2.43 billion, an
increase of 80% from the same period last year, and a net income result of P198.2 million, an increase of
111% from the same period last year, driven by continuous strong store growth.
The company improved its gross margins from 44% to 49% through economies of scale and cost synergies.

In addition, the company’s Board of Directors has approved a declaration of cash dividends amounting to

“We are very pleased to report that coming out of the pandemic and our initial public offering early this
year, we have continued our excellent growth and positive momentum. We are seeing dine-in sales
increasing on our Figaro Coffee and Tien Ma’s brands while delivery continues to be strong for Angel’s
Pizza. We continue to focus on product quality, value-for-money and expansion in key areas in the
Philippines. We acknowledge that there are always new and pressing challenges such as inflation and
economic headwinds, but our team continues to find the best ways to optimize growth and manage costs
for the good of the company. Likewise, because of our excellent performance, we are very happy to be able
to share profits with our shareholders through dividends. Our philosophy is, if the company does well, we
would like our shareholders to benefit also,” said Justin Liu, Chairman of FCG.
Since the start of 2022, the company has added 35 stores to its total store network, with a target of 163
stores by year-end 2022, from an ending store count of 107 in December of 2021.
