The revenues of the Group were primarily derived from sales within the Philippines.
In 2013, MPIC made its first offshore investment, through its wholly owned subsidiary MPIC
Infrastructure Holdings Limited (MIHL), by acquiring a 25% ownership in FPM Infrastructure
Holdings Limited (FPM Infra) which holds a 29.45% stake in a Thai toll road operator, DMT. In
2014, MPIC acquired, through MIHL, from FPC the remaining 75% ownership in FPM Infra.
Accumulated equity in net earnings in DMT amounted to 83.9 million as at December 31, 2014.
Except as stated in the succeeding paragraphs and in the discussion for each of the MPICs
significant subsidiaries, there has been no other business development such as bankruptcy,
receivership or similar proceeding not in the ordinary course of business that affected the
registrant for the past three years.
rebasing adjustment - Maynilad is willing to implement the increase on a staggered basis in order
to mitigate the impact of the Award on its customers in the West Zone of Metro Manila subject to
approval of the MWSS.
The MWSS has not yet acted on the arbitration award and Maynilad has formally reminded them
of the indemnity undertaking of the Republic of the Philippines regarding delays in tariff
implementation.
Customers
The water business of the Company enjoys a sole concession of Metro Manilas West Service
Area. This segment is mass-based such that the loss of a few customers would not have a
material adverse effect on MPIC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. There is also no single
customer that accounts for twenty percent (20%) or more of the segments sales.
Distribution
Water is distributed through Maynilads network of pipelines, pumping stations and miniboosters. As at December 31, 2014, Maynilad's network consisted of around 7,458 kms of total
pipeline.
Competition
Maynilad has no direct competition given that it has sole right to provide water and sewerage
services to the West Service Area under its concession agreement with the Philippine
Government.
Under Maynilads Concession Agreement, MWSS grants Maynilad (as contractor to perform
certain functions and as agent for the exercise of certain rights and powers under the Charter), the
sole right to manage, operate, repair, decommission and refurbish all fixed and movable assets
required (except certain retained assets of MWSS) to provide water and sewerage services in the
West Service Area up to 2037.
Source and availability of raw materials
Under Maynilads Concession Agreement, MWSS supplies raw water to Maynilads distribution
system and is required to supply a minimum quantity of raw water. Maynilad currently receives
substantially all of its water from MWSS.
Maynilad has some supply side risk in that: (i) it secures most of its supply from a single source
the Angat dam; and (ii) this water source is shared by another water concessionaire, a
hydroelectric plant, and the needs of farmers for irrigation. A water usage protocol is in place to
ensure all users receive water as expected within the constraints of available supply. Following
significant water supply disruption in late 2009 arising indirectly from typhoons, the business
entered 2010 with less water supply available than allowed for in its concession. Maynilad has
worked to moderate its reliance on Angat by developing the Putatan Water Treatment Plant while
continuing to reduce leakage and theft rates.
Transactions with related parties
Maynilad, entered into certain construction contracts with D.M. Consunji, Inc., a subsidiary
company of DMCI Holdings, Inc. (DMCI, a non-controlling shareholder in MWHCI), in relation
to the provision of engineering, procurement and construction services to Maynilad. Refer to
Note 21 of the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
NLEX-SLEX Connector Road Project. The Connector Road Project was approved by the
National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board on February 20, 2015 as an
unsolicited proposal under the Build-Operate-Transfer Law. This is expected to trigger the
commencement of the Swiss Challenge within 2nd quarter of 2015. MPTDC is still awaiting
Philippine Government information on the implementation mode of the Connector Road
Project..
Competition
While MNTC and CIC were granted sole right to operate and maintain toll roads under their
respective concession agreements with the Philippine Government (see Note 13 to the 2013
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the concession
agreements), alternative routes and roads are the toll roads competitors:
NLEX. A viable alternative road to North Luzon is the MacArthur Highway, a road extending
from Manila to Pangasinan that passes through small towns. The NLEX has historically
served as the main artery between Metro Manila and Central and Northern Luzon and as such,
it has a long and stable track record of traffic volume. Further, the NLEX has a stable service
area, which is characterized by the lack of comparable competing traffic routes and the
resilience of the user profile.
CAVITEX. The free alternative routes to the R1 Expressway and R1 Extension are Quirino
Avenue, Aguinaldo Highway, Tirona Highway and Evangelista Road. While these roads are
complementary to the R1 Expressway and R1 Extension, they do not offer the same direct
and contiguous route from northern Cavite to Metro Manila and vice-versa. The roads have
limited capacity and narrow lanes. They are controlled by traffic lights and stop signs and are
heavily congested at peak times.
Traffic volumes on the tollroads are likewise affected by competition from alternative modes of
transportation and there can be no assurance that existing modes of transport will not significantly
improve their services.
The Company continues to promote traffic growth on these tollroads by providing more entry and
exit points along the expressway. Likewise, the Company continues to boost the value
proposition of the NLEX and CAVITEX by implementing measures to enhance customer
satisfaction, safety, and convenience.
Transactions with related parties
The Operation & Maintenance (O&M) of the NLEX and Segment 7 is undertaken by TMC
pursuant to the O&M Agreement between MNTC and TMC. This agreement shall be effective
for the entire concession period. TMC, of which MPTC owns 46%, oversees the day-to-day
operations of the NLEX, including securing toll collection, depositing of funds to MNTCs
accounts, facilitating smooth and uninterrupted flow of traffic, carrying out of routine
maintenance, ensuring effective and safe responses to emergency situations. In exchange for
performing its duties, TMC receives an O&M fee based on a base fee plus a variable fee.
On December 5, 2007, MNTC engaged the services of Easytrip Services Corporation (ESC) to
assist MNTC in increasing the usage of the electronic toll collection facility along the NLEX.
ESC became a related party of the Company beginning July 2014 when MPTDC acquired equity
interest equivalent to 50% plus one share of the capital stock of ESC. Under the agreement with
ESC, MNTC will pay ESC an annual fixed fee, which are to be maintained and escalated every
year for labor index and consumer price index plus variable fee per transaction (see details under
Note 21 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements).
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws
Prior to the commencement of construction activities, the grantee must obtain an environmental
compliance certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. An
ECC typically requires the grantee to submit its proposed policies for, among others,
(1) relocation and compensation of individuals and families who are affected by the toll road
project, (2) mitigation of the effects of the toll road project on the natural environment,
(3) environmental monitoring, and (4) public information and education regarding the toll road
project. In addition, the ECC typically requires the grantee to submit a quarterly report of its
environmental monitoring activities.
MNTC has a dedicated team that regularly monitors compliance with its ECCs and ensures
measurement of significant environmental metrics for purposes of compliance with the reporting
requirements under its loan agreements. Quarterly air quality sampling is conducted to measure
the level of pollutants and harmful particulates along the toll roads. A solid and hazardous waste
management system is also in place to ensure proper waste disposal and compliance with the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2001 and Toxic Substances and Hazardous Wastes
Control Act of 1990. All required areas for reclamation and re-vegetation are regularly monitored
and maintained to prevent soil erosion and scouring along river banks and slope areas. MNTC
submits an annual safety and health report to its creditors detailing the activities and monitoring
results, as well as other significant related, undertaken throughout each year in relation to
MNTCs compliance with legal and statutory environmental requirements.
Status of any publicly announced product or services
Construction continues on the first stage of the 8-km NLEX Harbour Link connecting the NLEX
to the North Manila Port in two segments (Segments 9 and 10) and is expected to have its first
stage open in first quarter of 2015.
The NLEX Harbour Link and Citilink projects, together with expansion of the CAVITEX, would
see MPTC invest approximately 31 billion over the next few years to complete construction of
this vital road infrastructure. MPTC and MPIC would fund this sum using internal resources and
external debt.
In January 2015, MPTC, procured original proponent status for the proposed Cebu-Cordova
Bridge Project from Cebu City and the Municipality of Cordova. Negotiations with both Cebu
City and the Municipality of Cordova are on-going and once done, a Swiss Challenge will have to
be conducted before awarding of the contract. This project spanning 8.3 kilometers will link the
island of Mactan to mainland Cebu through the Municipality of Cordova. The total construction
cost of the Cebu-Cordova Bridge Project is estimated at 17.0 billion with completion date by
2020 assuming that awards and approvals are secured during the first half of 2015.
Thailand:
On July 31, 2014, First Pacific transferred its 75% shareholding in FPM Infra to MPIC for a
consideration of approximately US$101.25 million. FPM Infra became wholly-owned subsidiary
of MPIC and its sole asset is a 29.45% interest in DMT. DMT is a major toll road operator in
Bangkok, Thailand. The concession for DMT runs until 2034 for the operation of a 21.9kilometer six-lane elevated toll road from central Bangkok to Don Muang International Airport
and further to the National Monument in the north of Bangkok. On December 22, 2014 DMT
secured tollrate increases of 17% and 20% on its Original road and Northern extension,
respectively.
Vietnam:
On January 14, 2015, MPIC through MPTC further expanded its regional footprint through an
equity investment and financing transaction with Ho Chi Minh City Infrastructure Investment
Joint Stock Co. (CII). The investment of approximately 4.0 billion will result in MPTC holding a
45% minority equity interest in CII Bridges and Roads Investment Joint Stock Co. (CII B&R) and
is due to settle in March 2015 upon completion of the closing conditions and deliverables.
the significant investment involved in the setting-up of a distribution network, MERALCO and
CEDC have no significant competition in their franchise areas.
As MERALCO broadens the scope of its activities to encompass power generation and retail
electricity sales it will become increasingly exposed to market competition.
Distribution
Power is distributed through network facilities which consists of substations, circuits and
distribution transformers.
Source and availability of raw materials
The principal sources of power (in MWh) of Meralco and CEDC and their relative contribution in
2014 are as follows:
First Gas Power Corporation (Sta. Rita) and FGP
Corp.(San Lorenzo) Natural Gas
South Premiere Power Corporation (Ilijan) Natural Gas
San Miguel Energy Corporation (Sual) Coal

(B.4) Healthcare
Business Development
MPICs Hospital group comprises eight full-service hospitals and is the largest private provider of
premier hospital services in the Philippines. It delivers medical services including diagnostic,
therapeutic and preventive medicine services in all three major island groupings in the country.
This division comprises five hospitals in Metro Manila, and one in each of Central Luzon,
Bacolod City and Davao City.
In addition to the traditional hospital services, MPIC in 2013 made its first investment in a nonhospital-based diagnostic center, Megaclinic at SM Megamall in Metro Manila.
AHI received on December 9, 2013 the Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation,
validating AHIs commitment to provide world-class patient-centered health care services. AHI
focused its efforts in pursuing the Gold Seal of Approval of the JCI, the worlds most prestigious
accreditation body for health care institutions. The Joint Commission helps organizations all over
the world in delivering the highest quality of care and achieve maximum performance by
providing strict standards and continuous patient care and patient safety solutions.
On May 16, 2014, MPIC and GIC Private Limited (GIC) entered into a partnership agreement to
facilitate the further expansion of the hospital group of MPIC. GIC, through its affiliates, invested
3.7 billion for a 14.4% stake in MPIC's hospital holding company Metro Pacific Hospital
Holdings, Inc. (MPHHI, formerly Neptune Stroika Holdings, Inc.). The partnership with GIC will
help the Company grow not only in hospitals but also in other health-related fields, in the
Philippines and possibly abroad. GIC also advanced to MPIC 6.5 billion by way of an
Exchangeable Bond which will be exchanged into a 25.5% stake in MPHHI in the future, subject
10
to certain conditions. The proceeds from the bond will be used by MPIC for continuing
investments in infrastructure projects.
Customers
The Hospital Group currently consists of eight (8) full-service hospitals with approximately 2,150
beds in total Makati Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Our Lady of Lourdes
Hospital, Asian Hospital & Medical Center and De Los Santos Medical Center in Metro Manila;
Central Luzon Doctors' Hospital in Tarlac; Riverside Medical Center in the Visayas; and Davao
Doctors Hospital in Mindanao MegaClinic, its first mall-based diagnostic and ambulatory care
center located in Metro Manila.
This segment is mass-based such that the loss of a few customers would not have a material
adverse effect on MPIC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. There is also no single customer
that accounts for twenty percent (20%) or more of the segments sales.
Competition
Major competitors in the healthcare business include tertiary hospitals located in major cities and
regions where the hospitals operate: (a) MMC in Makati, Metro Manila; (b) CSMC in San Juan,
Metro Manila; (c) OLLH in Sta. Mesa, Manila; (d) AHI in Southern Manila; (e) DLSMC in
Quezon City, Metro Manila; (f) CLDH in Tarlac Central Luzon; (g) RMCI in Bacolod City; and
(h) DDH in Mindanao. However, increasing health awareness creates unsatisfied demand in the
industry.
The Company uses its skill as a corporate manager to enhance operating efficiency and streamline
the business models of its hospitals. Additionally, the Company continues to realize economies of
scale through group purchasing and the sharing of technical and human resources.
Transactions with related parties
On April 13, 2012, Colinas Verdes Hospital Managers Corp. (CVHMC) entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Meralco for the operation and management of the
Meralco Corporate Wellness Center (Wellness Center), an outpatient diagnostic and consultation
center for its employees and their dependents. In accord of the contract, CVHMC agreed to take
steps to improve healthcare services, expand diagnostic services, enhance customer services
levels, increase operational efficiencies, rationalize equipment upgrade and renovate and improve
infrastructure. Income recognized for this arrangement in 2014 and 2013 amounted to a total of
42.7 million and 41.1 million included under the hospital revenue account. The total revenue
comprises a retainers fee, pharmacy handling and manpower and administrative reimbursement
plus margin.
(B.5) Rail
Business Development
The rail segment is a new segment beginning 2014. Companies under this segment, LRMH,
LRMC and AFCSI are still under the pre-operating stage.

similar to the Octopus card in Hong Kong or the EZ link system in Singapore. The payment
system has the potential to move into toll roads and parking facilities, creating an integrated
solution for Metro Manilas commuters and eventually an electronic payments ecosystem for the
country. AFCS targets to deliver the new electronic payment system initially for LRT Lines 1, 2
and the MRT Line 3 by the second half of 2015.
On October 2, 2014, LRMC, in which MPIC effectively has a 55% shareholding, signed together
with the DOTC and the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) the 32-year Concession Agreement
for the 65-billion Light Rail Transit Line 1 Cavite Extension and Operations & Maintenance
Project. LRMC was formally awarded the project by the DOTC and LRTA following the
submission of a lone bid with a premium of 9.35 billion.
Dependence on Licenses and Government Approval
The concession agreement for the LRT Line 1 Project sets out the terms and conditions on how
the Grantor will regulate the operations and maintenance activities of the Concessionaire
throughout the concession period. Likewise, the fare to be charged to the users of the LRT 1 Line
must be approved by the Grantors (or other Government Authority having jurisdiction over fare
levels).
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business
The tariff increase announced by Government in January 2015 is insufficient to reach the opening
fare in the LRT Line 1 Concession Agreement. This increases risks to achieving financial close
and hence formal handover.
(B.6) Others
Neo Oracle Holdings, Inc. (NOHI) and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of real estate
investments and property development, investment holding and management services.
On July 18, 2012, the stockholders and BOD of NOHI resolved to amend its Article of
Incorporation to reflect the change in name from Metro Pacific Corporation to Neo Oracle
Holdings, Inc., shortened corporate life until December 31, 2013 and reduce its BOD members
from 11 to 5. Hence, NOHI is deemed dissolved as at December 31, 2013 and can no longer
conduct business except with respect to transactions in furtherance of its liquidation. With the
shortening of the corporate life, NOHI is not currently active but holds investments in lands and
properties. NOHI continues to implement measures geared towards generating liquidity to meet
maturing obligations which include settlement of the remaining third party debts via debt-forasset swap arrangements, negotiation for discounts on principal and waiver of interests and
penalties.
(C) Registrants present employees
As at December 31, 2014, the Parent Company has a total headcount of 56 employees
(Administrative: 45, Clerical: 11), who are neither unionized nor covered by special incentive
arrangements. The Parent Company expects to decrease its headcount to 50 in the next twelve months
with the transfer of the hospital management and finance team to MPIC's hospital holding company,
MPHHI.
12
Operational risks. Each of the operating companies has a full management team which is
responsible for having their own plan to manage risk which is reviewed annually by the MPIC
Audit and Risk Management Committee, together with MPICs designated Chief Risk
Officer, and each of the respective operating companies board of directors.
Regulatory. The majority of our invested capital is deployed into businesses which are
directly regulated by arms of the state: electricity distribution; water supply and distribution
along with sewage treatment; tollroads; and rail. Each of these businesses has concession or
franchise agreement which involve a degree of operating performance obligation in order to
13
retain our rights and earn our expected returns. In some cases, these agreements provide for
retrospective assessment of the extent of our overall operational and financial performance
sometimes over a period of years.
o
Risks arising from these types of businesses include the potential for differences with
regulators involving interpretation of the relevant agreements either during the period in
question or in retrospect. To manage these risks, the investee companies have established
dedicated regulatory management groups with experienced personnel. Their duty is to
manage the relationship with regulators, keep management up-to-date on the status of the
relationship and ensure companies are well prepared for any forthcoming regulatory changes
or challenges.
Competition and Market. Competitive and market-driven demand risks are most pronounced
in Meralco, MPTC and the Healthcare group.
o
Meralco carries a degree of market risk and its returns in the short term may be
impacted by consumers who elect to self-generate and disconnect from the
distribution grid. MPIC is mitigating that risk by improving efficiencies to the point
that makes it largely uneconomic to self-generate. With the move to Open Access
from June 2013, Meralco will take on risks associated with buying and selling power
on its own account instead of on a pass through basis. Meralco has long prepared for
this and has an experienced management team already in place to lead this new
business. Meralco is now also invested in power generation with attendant demand
volume and price risks and fuel source price and supply risks. The primary mitigants
are contracting to match demand and supply side volumes where possible and
employing highly experienced power market professionals to manage any open
positions by trading in the market.
At MPTC, MPIC sets tariff on new road projects based on traffic projections agreed
with the regulator. Rising fuel prices, alternative means of transport and existing or
prospective alternative routes are all factors that can affect the number of vehicles
that use our roads.
MPIC alleviate this risk by choosing our projects carefully. Existing high traffic
density, difficulty in securing competing routes, a high potential for growth given
demographic changes and conservative growth estimates, even with the prior factors
included in the assessment, are the important variables we consider when committing
to traffic projections with the regulator.
For the Hospitals group, investment is taking place to enable more qualified
personnel to better serve patients more efficiently and effectively in upgraded
facilities and with better equipment.
The primary risk is that investment runs ahead of demand and patient ability or
willingness to pay. MPIC mitigate this risk by ensuring MPIC knows our target
market and scale our improvements to their ability to pay. The pace of medical
innovation is accelerating requiring increased management of the risks that costly
equipment may become out of date before its cost is fully recovered and traditional
healthcare delivery models may be disrupted.
The water company has some supply side risk in that: (i) it secures almost all of its supply
from a single source the Angat dam; and (ii) this water source is shared by another water
concessionaire, a hydroelectric plant, and the needs of farmers for irrigation. A water usage
14
protocol is in place to ensure all users receive water as expected within the constraints of
available supply. Following significant water supply disruptions in the past arising indirectly
from typhoons, the business has experienced periods of lower water supply than allowed for
in its concession. MPIC have worked to moderate our reliance on Angat by developing the
Putatan Water Treatment Plant. However, our regulator does not now wish us to invest further
in alternative water sources and this means the logical way to mitigate our supply side risk is
now largely prohibited to us.
(D.4) Financial Risk Management
MPICs investee companies financial risks are primarily: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk,
liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price risk (see Note 35 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements). The Board of Directors of each company reviews and approves policies for
managing each of these risks as follows:
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate exposure is managed by using a mix of fixed and variable rate
debt.
Foreign Currency Risk. In general the investee companies will place some degree of reliance
on their regulated return mechanisms to pass through foreign currency risk. The current
liquidity and depth of the Philippine credit market is such that there should be little need for
raising new borrowings in foreign currency.
Maynilad has some foreign currency borrowing but there is a mechanism in place wherein it
can recover currency fluctuations as approved by its Regulator.
Liquidity Risk. Each business monitors its cash position using a cash forecasting system
wherein all expected collections, disbursements and other payments are determined in detail.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is managed by setting limits on the amount of risk a business is
willing to accept for individual counterparties and by monitoring exposures in relation to such
limits.
Equity Price Risk. The Company's investee companies are generally not faced with equity
price risk beyond that normal for any listed company, where relevant. MPICs investment in
Meralco, through Beacon Electric, is partly financed by borrowings which require a certain
security cover based on the price of Meralcos shares on the PSE on a volume weighted 30
trading day average calculation. Meralcos share price would have to decline by 54.35% from
its price as at December 31, 2014 before Beacon Electric would be required to top-up
collateral with cash or pay-down debt.
15
system by Maynilad during the concession period remains with Maynilad until the expiration date (or
on early termination date) at which time, all rights, titles and interest in such assets will automatically
vest to MWSS.
Maynilad leases the office space and branches where service outlets are located, equipments and
service vehicles, renewable under certain terms and conditions to be agreed upon by the parties.
Refer to Note 33 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Healthcare Segment. The Company is developing the Philippines first nationwide chain of leading
hospitals to deliver comprehensive in-patient and out-patient hospital services, including medical and
surgical services, diagnostic, therapeutic intensive care, research and training facilities in strategic
locations in the Philippines:
Makati Medical Center is a multi-specialty tertiary medical centre situated in the central
business district of Makati, Metro Manila.
Asian Hospital and Medical Center is a hospital located in Alabang, Muntinlupa in Southern
Metro Manila.
De Los Santos Medical Center is a mid-market teaching and training hospital in Quezon City,
the largest city in Metro Manila.
Davao Doctors Hospital is considered to be the largest and one of the best medical facilities
offering modern diagnostic, therapeutic and intensive care services in Southern Philippines.
Riverside Medical Center, also known as Dr Pablo O. Torre Memorial Hospital, is the largest
and a leading medical facility in Bacolod in the island of Negros, Western Visayas.
Central Luzon Doctors Hospital is the largest tertiary hospital in Tarlac.
MegaClinic is a mall-based diagnostic and ambulatory care center located in Metro Manila.
Lease Arrangements. East Manila Hospital Managers Corp. (EMHMC) and CVHMC entered into
lease agreements with Servants of the Holy Spirit, Inc. and Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila for
the management and operation of OLLH and CSMC, respectively. Each of these lease agreements is

Overview
Highlights for 2014 which had significant impact on the financial results of the Group are as follows:
Benefit from new/increase in investments. The Company benefitted from the following
acquisitions and increase in ownership interest:
o
Increase in equity ownership in MNTC. On January 10, 2014, MPTDC acquired 3.9% of
MNTC from Egis Projects, SA (Egis) for P
=1.5 billion; and on July 18, 2014, entered into an
agreement to acquire an additional economic interest of 4.6% from Egis and Egis Investment
Partners Philippines Inc. (EIP) for P
=1.7 billion. MPICs effective economic interest in MNTC
is now 75.65% from 67.00%.
o Increase in effective ownership interest in Meralco. On June 24, 2014, MPIC entered into a
Share Purchase Agreement with Beacon Electric for the sale of the latters 56.35 million
shares, comprising approximately 5%, in Meralco for an aggregate consideration of P
=13.24
billion. This transaction resulted to an effective increase in ownership in Meralco of 2.5%.
o
Acquisition of FPM Infrastructure. On July 31, 2014, MPIC acquired its 75% shareholding in
FPM Infra from FPC for a consideration of approximately US$101.25 million. FPM Infra
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPIC and its sole asset is a 29.45% interest in DMT, a
major toll road operator in Bangkok, Thailand. Prior to the acquisition , MPICs equity
effective ownership interest in DMT was at 7.36%. Share in equity in net earnings in DMT
amounted to P
=210.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Impact of change in accounting policy. Beginning January 1, 2014, the service concession asset
of MNTC is amortized on a units of production (UOP) basis. MPTC determined that it is more
appropriate to use the UOP basis for amortizing the service concession asset as the economic
benefit of this asset is more closely aligned with the traffic volume and kilometers travelled for
the segments of the toll road using an open toll collection system and closed toll collection
system, respectively. The change in the method of amortization is also consistent with the toll
segments move to unify the accounting policies of its subsidiaries. This change in accounting
policy resulted in a decrease in amortization expense by P
=131.0 million of the service concession
asset for the period ended December 31, 2014.
Maynilads Redundancy and Right Sizing Program. In line with its strategic goal to improve
operational efficiency, Maynilad offered a Special Opportunity Program (SOP), a redundancy and
right-sizing program in 2014. This program offered a separation package based on the number of
years, or fractions thereof, on a pro-rated basis, of service with Maynilad plus monetary
equivalent of some benefits. Total estimated severance for the separated employees amounted to
=524.0 million, of which, P
P
=263.0 million is paid out of Maynilads funds while the remaining was
paid out of Maynilads retirement plan asset. The reduction in the number of employees resulted
in a curtailment gain of P
=257.3 million.
GICs Investment in the Hospital Group. Although the hospital segment results improved, the
segments contribution to MPICs core income declined with the entry of GIC as an investor in
MPHHI beginning of July 2014. Hospital groups contribution to MPICs core income amounted
to P
=465.0 million for the period ended December 31, 2014, from last years P
=581.0 million

Revenues
The Companys revenues increased by 10% to P
=33,832 million in 2014, reflecting improved
performance of the Companys major operating subsidiaries, Maynilad and MPTC. Maynilad posted
a 9% increase in revenues brought about by 4% billed volume growth coupled with 4% inflationary
increase in average effective tariff as a result of improved cash collections. MPTC likewise posted 6%
higher revenues mainly due to 7% and 8% higher average daily vehicle entries in NLEX and
CAVITEX, respectively. Hospital revenues also increased by 17% mainly driven by increasing
number of patients served at CVHMC and AHI and consolidation of full year results of DLSMC and
CLDH which were acquired during the 2nd half of 2013.
Cost of Sales and Services
Cost of sales and services increased by 10% to P
=13,082 million in 2014. Salaries, wages and benefits
increased by 17% due to increase in headcount, inflationary increase in annual salary and full year
effect of the consolidation of DLSMC and CLDH. In addition, operators fee increased by 10% due to
the increase in base rate in accordance with Operation and Maintenance Agreement between MNTC
and TMC. Amortization expense also increased in relation to the increase in volume sold in Maynilad
which uses the UOP method in amortizing its service concession asset.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 9% to P
=6,823 million in 2014 due to increases in
personnel costs, taxes & licenses and depreciation & amortization driven by full year consolidation
impact of DLSMC and CLDH. Annual salary increases and expanded headcount caused the increase
23
in personnel cost while continuing capital expenditure program caused the increase in depreciation
and amortization cost. Increase in professional fees is due to expenses incurred by Maynilad in
relation to the arbitration proceedings.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased by 7% to P
=4,301 million in 2014 mainly due to additional loans
(a) debt in AIF of THB2.1 billion which was used to partially fund the acquisition of additional
effective interest in DMT and (b) P
=3.3 billion in MPTC which was used to finance acquisition of the
additional 8.5% effective ownership in MNTC.
Share in net earnings of associates and a joint venture
Increase in MPICs share in the cumulative net earnings of associates and joint venture in 2014 due to
the increase ownership in Meralco and DMT and increases in operational performance at Meralco,
TMC, MDI and DDH.
Interest income
Interest income decreased by 17% to P
=385 million in 2014 mainly due to lower average level of
placements in 2014 as compared with 2013.
Other income and expenses
Other income (net of other expenses) increased by 9% to P
=604 million mainly due to the realized gain
on sale of AFS investment on February 28, 2014.
Provision for income tax
Provision for income tax increased by 104% to P
=1,208 million from prior years provision of
=593 million. The increase in provision for income tax resulted from the decline in the deferred tax
P
benefit recognized by CIC and Maynilad. In 2013, CIC recognized P
=201.1 million of deferred tax
benefit from its previously unrecognized benefit from NOLCO of P
=670.3 million. Maynilad also
recognized consolidated deferred tax benefit of P
=409.5 million in 2013 as compared with current
years benefit of only P
=30.7 million, resulting from the reversal of deferred tax asset arising from
application of IFRIC 12 accounting.
Consolidated net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company
The 10% increase from P
=7,209 million to P
=7,940 million for the period is attributable mainly to the
strong growth in profit contribution of the major businesses. In summary: increase in Maynilads
contribution due mainly to higher billed volume and tariff; increased traffic volume for NLEX and
CAVITEX; and increase in effective ownership in DMT and Meralco. The increase was slightly
dampened by the dilution effect in hospital segment with the entry of GIC as minority investor.
Other comprehensive income (loss)
The Company recognized other comprehensive income of P
=384 million in 2013 as compared with the
loss of P
=76 million recognized in 2014. The other comprehensive income in 2013 included
=199 million of unrealized gain from the remeasurement of Available for Sale Financial Assets (AFS)
P
which was recycled to profit or loss when the Company sold its investment in NEPSCC in 2014. The
Company also recognized higher actuarial gain from defined benefit plan of its subsidiaries and equity
24
These represent MPICs share in the stand-alone core income of the operating companies, net of
consolidation adjustments.
Maynilad, Beacon Electric/Meralco, MPTC/DMT and Healthcare accounted for 43%, 30%, 22% and
5%, respectively of MPICs share of operating income.
Non-recurring expenses
Non-recurring expenses amounted to P
=568 million and P
=20 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Non-recurring expenses recognized in 2014 comprise of project expenses, taxes incurred on the
reorganization of the hospital group and one-time separation expenses and arbitration costs at
Maynilad.

Operational highlights
Maynilad, the biggest water utility in the Philippines, achieved a 4% increase in the volume of water
sold in its concession area in 2014 even as it managed to draw 3% less water from the Angat Dam.
The number of water connections (or billed customers) rose 5% to 1,190,062 by the end of December
2014 from 1,129,497 a year earlier.
Selling more water while drawing less was made possible by reductions in leaks and theft, otherwise
known as Non-Revenue Water (NRW), which fell to 32.9% as at the end of December 2014 from
35.4% a year earlier. The improvement was achieved on the strength of Maynilads continuing pipe
26
replacement program, which saw 36,967 leaks repaired in 2014. It will be recalled that when MPIC
invested in Maynilad in 2007, NRW stood at 68%.
Maynilad now delivers 24-hour water supply to 99.89% of its customers, while 99.97% of customers
also receive water pressure of seven pounds per square inch - the minimum pressure necessary to
pump water upstairs from the ground floor. The year earlier percentages were 97.79% and 99.90%,
respectively.
Maynilads capital spending during 2014 stood at P
=4.3 billion, down from P
=5.6 billion a year earlier
due to delays in the acquisition of land for building sewage treatment plants and delays in other
planned projects involving the rehabilitation or accelerated replacement of pipes affected by
Department of Public Works and Highways projects.
Maynilad committed rather than expended P
=16.2 billion in new CAPEX projects in 2014. This
includes the construction of several sewage and septage treatment plants and conveyance systems in
Muntinlupa, Paranaque, Pasay, and Valenzuela:
In line with Maynilads commitment to improving public health in the West Zone,
P
=10.0 billion was allocated in setting up and rehabilitation of waste water system.
Maynilad is accelerating its wastewater projects to protect the health of its customers and
the environment and to meet its service obligations under the Concession Agreement term
extension plan.
Around P
=4.2 billion was allocated for service expansion programs which includes
pipelaying of primary lines in Bacoor and Imus, Cavite and in Las Pias, Muntinlupa and
Pasay and construction; automation of boosters and reservoirs; and rehabiliation of
Maynilad's water network facilities, offices and warehouses.
P
=2.0 billion was spent in NRW reduction program through pipe replacement projects,
metered management projects, establishment of smaller District Metered Areas, leak
repairs and diagnostic activities. This resulted in the recovery of over 117.4 million liters
per day of water.
The decision of the Appeals panel to settle Maynilads tariff dispute with the MWSS dated
December 29, 2014, upheld the alternative rebasing adjustment of Maynilad. This would, if
implemented immediately, result in a 9.8% increase in the 2013 average basic water charge of
=31.28/cu.m., inclusive of the P
P
=1.00 Currency Exchange Rate Adjustment which the MWSS has now
incorporated into the basic charge (the Award). The Award translates to an average increase of
=3.06/cu.m. While there has been a two (2)-year delay in implementing an adjustment in the average
P
basic water charge - the Concession Agreement between MWSS and Maynilad expressly provides for
a one-time implementation of a positive rebasing adjustment - Maynilad is willing to implement the
increase on a staggered basis in order to mitigate the impact of the Award on its customers in the West
Zone of Metro Manila subject to approval of the MWSS.
The MWSS has not yet acted on the arbitration award and Maynilad has formally reminded them of
the indemnity undertaking of the Republic of the Philippines regarding delays in tariff
implementation.
MPICs wholly owned subsidiary, MetroPac Water Investments Corporation (MPWIC), which
effectively owns 19.9% in Cebu Manila Water Development, Inc. (CMWD) continues exploring
investment opportunities in water distribution. CMWD holds a 20-year concession for the bulk supply
of water to the Metropolitan Cebu Water District with the initial delivery of water made in January
2015.

Operational highlights
MPTCs Core Net Income of P
=2.2 billion for the period was 10% higher than a year earlier as a result
of strong traffic growth and increased shareholding in the NLEX. Average daily entries rose 7% on
the NLEX and 8% on the CAVITEX from a year earlier.
MPTC increased its shareholding in MNTC through a 3.9% direct acquisition for P
=1.5 billion in
January 2014 and additional effective shareholding of 4.6% for P
=1.7 billion in July 2014.
Philippines:
Construction continues on the first stage of the 8-km NLEX Harbour Link connecting the NLEX to
the North Manila Port in two segments (Segments 9 and 10) and is expected to have its first stage
open in first quarter of 2015. However, MPTC continues to await approval of toll rate adjustments on
R1 of CAVITEX (an increase of 19%) which should have been effective from January 1, 2012 and for
NLEX (an increase of 11%) which was to be effective from January 1, 2013. These delays and
29
additional issues surrounding the tariff regime for the Harbour Link are constraining continued and
needed expenditure on our road construction.
The NLEX Harbour Link and Citilink projects, together with expansion of the CAVITEX, would see
MPTC invest approximately P
=31 billion over the next few years to complete construction of this vital
road infrastructure. It is therefore important that overdue tariff increases be implemented. MPTC and
MPIC would fund this sum using internal resources and external debt.
With regard to MNTC's proposal to build an elevated expressway to connect the Northern and
Southern toll road systems (the "Connector" project), at the recommendation of the National
Economic and Development Authority, MNTC and Philippine National Construction Corporation
created a joint venture to build the Connector which would serve the public well by shortening
journey times and significantly decongesting the city. However, in July 2014, the Department of
Justice opined that the joint venture approach did not meet the relevant legal tests, and ordered the
project to undergo a competitive challenge. On December 22, 2014, the Investment Coordination
Committee - Cabinet Committee reapproved the Connector back to Department of Public Works and
Highways as an unsolicited proposal subject to NEDA Board confirmation.
In a separate matter, on February 9, 2015, MNTC received the Notice of Award from the BCDA for
the management, operation and maintenance of the 94-kilometer SCTEX subject to compliance with
specific conditions. The Notice of Award was issued by BCDA following the results of the Price
Challenge held last January 30, 2015. MNTC plans to invest P
=400 million to integrate SCTEX with
NLEX to facilitate seamless travel between the two expressways.
In January 2015, MPTC, procured original proponent status for the proposed Cebu-Cordova Bridge
Project from Cebu City and the Municipality of Cordova. Negotiations with both Cebu City and the
Municipality of Cordova are on-going and once done, a Swiss Challenge will have to be conducted
before awarding of the contract. This project spanning 8.3 kilometers will link the island of Mactan to
mainland Cebu through the Municipality of Cordova. The total construction cost of the CebuCordova Bridge Project is estimated at P
=17.0 billion with completion date by 2020 assuming that
awards and approvals are secured during the first half of 2015.
Thailand:
On July 31, 2014, MPIC acquired its 75% shareholding in FPM Infra from First Pacific for a
consideration of approximately US$101.25 million. FPM Infra became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
MPIC and its sole asset is a 29.45% interest in DMT. DMT is a major toll road operator in Bangkok,
Thailand. The concession for DMT runs until 2034 for the operation of a 21.9-kilometer six-lane
elevated toll road from central Bangkok to Don Muang International Airport and further to the
National Monument in the north of Bangkok. On December 22, 2014 DMT secured tollrate increases
of 17% and 20% on its Original road and Northern extension, respectively.
Vietnam:
On January 14, 2015, MPIC through MPTC further expanded its regional footprint through an equity
investment and financing transaction with Ho Chi Minh City Infrastructure Investment Joint Stock
Co. (CII). The investment of approximately P
=4 billion will result in MPTC holding a 45% minority
equity interest in CII Bridges and Roads Investment Joint Stock Co. (CII B&R) and is due to settle in
March 2015 upon completion of the closing conditions and deliverables.

Operational highlights
MERALCOs Core Net Income for 2014 rose 6% to P
=18.1 billion compared with 2013. This was
driven mainly by a 3% increase in energy sales to 35,160 gigawatt hours (GWh) due to higher
demand from the commercial and industrial segments, which both grew by 4%. Revenues also reflect
the lower distribution tariff commencing July 2014 with the implementation of the 4th Regulatory
Year Maximum Average Price of P
=1.5562 per kilowatt hour.
Capital expenditures for 2014, including those for new load requirements and system reliability,
amounted to P
=12.4 billion up from P
=10.2 billion in 2013.
MERALCOs capex commitment continues to deliver strong returns. The 12-month moving average
system loss fell to just 6.5% at the end of December 2014. This level is 2 percentage points lower than
the regulatory cap of 8.5% which translates to savings for MERALCO's customers of P
=4.6 billion in
2014.
In May 2014, MERALCO signed a Lease Concession Agreement with the Philippine Economic Zone
Authority (PEZA) to operate, maintain and improve the Cavite Economic Zone (CEZ) distribution
system. CEZ covers 332 hectares of prime distribution area with aggregate consumption of 473 GWh.
In November 2014, the PEZA approved MERALCO's application for registration as an Economic
Zone Utilities Enterprise within PEZA-CEZ.
MPower, MERALCOs Retail Electricity Supply unit, with its customer-centric product and price
offerings, have created significant value for its customers. It is serving 60% of the total 347 qualified
and registered contestable customers.
MERALCO PowerGen Corporation (MGen) is fast-tracking investment in new generation capacity to
avert or mitigate looming power supply gaps notwithstanding earlier legal delays.

San Buenaventura Power Limited (SBPL), in which MGen has a 49% interest with a right to
nominate a preferred investor for an additional 2%, is in advanced stages in developing a new
455 MW (net) supercritical coal-fired power plant in Mauban, Quezon. SBPL, a joint venture with
Electricity Generating Public Company Limited of Thailand, has filed the Power Sales Agreement
with the Electricity Regulatory Commission and is currently awaiting decision to proceed. The plant
is scheduled to begin commercial operation in the second half of 2018.
Following the Supreme Courts clearance to proceed with the project, MGens Redondo Peninsula
Energy, Inc. joint venture aims to complete the 2x300 MW coal-fired powered power plant within
four years.
Global Business Power Corporation, in which MERALCO has a 22% interest, commenced operations
of subsidiary Toledo Power Company's 82 MW coal-fired power plant in December 2014. Another
150 MW coal-fired power plant is being built in Iloilo City through Panay Energy Development
Corporation. Equity in this project has been fully funded and commercial operation is expected to
start in the third quarter of 2016.
With the increase in effective ownership in MERALCO from 24.98% to 27.48% beginning
June 26, 2014 and the benefit of lower interest costs reflecting debt refinancing undertaken last year,
the segments contribution to MPIC for the period rose 30% to 3.0 billion.

Aggregate Core Net Income for the Hospital Group rose 15% to P
=1.0 billion in 2014 compared with
2013 as a result of increasing patient revenues, gains from completed capital expenditure programs,
savings from group synergy projects and contributions from DLSMC, CLDH and MegaClinic, which
were invested in during the second half of 2013. While the aggregate core net income from the
Hospital Group increased, contribution to MPICs core income decreased from P
=581 million in 2013
33
to P
=465 million this year reflecting dilution in the effective ownership in the hospitals with the entry
of GIC as described below.
On May 16, 2014, MPIC and GIC entered into a partnership agreement to facilitate the further
expansion of the hospital group of MPIC. GIC, through its affiliates, invested P
=3.7 billion for a 14.4%
stake in MPICs hospital holding company MPHHI. The partnership with GIC will help the Company
grow not only in hospitals but also in other health-related fields, in the Philippines and possibly
abroad. GIC also advanced to MPIC P
=6.5 billion by way of an Exchangeable Bond which will be
exchanged into a 25.5% stake in MPHHI in the future, subject to certain conditions.
The Hospital Group currently consists of eight (8) full-service hospitals with approximately 2,150
beds in total Makati Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Our Lady of Lourdes
Hospital, Asian Hospital & Medical Center and De Los Santos Medical Center in Metro Manila;
Central Luzon Doctors' Hospital in Tarlac; Riverside Medical Center in the Visayas; and Davao
Doctors Hospital in Mindanao MegaClinic, its first mall-based diagnostic and ambulatory care
center located in SM Megamall and 2 healthcare colleges, Riverside College Inc. in the Visayas and
Davao Doctors College in Mindanao. MPIC operates the largest private hospital group in the country,
with hospitals in all three major island groupings of the Philippines.

to P
=7.2 billion as at December 31, 2014 for the acquisition of a 5% direct interest in Meralco.

As at December 31, 2014, MPICs consolidated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
totaled P
=25,758 million, an increase of P
=10,495 million from P
=15,263 million as at
December 31, 2013.
Principal sources of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents in 2014 were cash inflows from
operating activities amounting to P
=15,185 million and financing activities amounting to

P
Operating Activities
MPICs consolidated net operating cash flow in 2014 posted a 4% decrease from P
=15,871 million to
=15,185 million due to net outflow in working capital with the settlement of current liabilities. The
P
decrease in operating cash flows by 4% was experienced despite the improvement in net income.
Improvement in net income does not necessarily translate to improvement in operating cash flow as
the consolidated net income included share in net earnings of the associates and joint ventures. While
the share in equity in net earnings of the associates and joint venture increased by P
=881 million,
dividends received amounted to P
=533 million.
A large portion of the Groups cash flow from operating activities is generated by the water utility
which accounted for 54% and 55% of the Groups total revenues in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Revenues from the toll roads business accounted for 26% in 2014 and 2013. Hospital business
accounts for the remaining 20% and 19% in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Revenues
The Companys revenues increased by 11% to P
=30,877 million in 2013, reflecting improved
performance of the Companys major operating subsidiaries, Maynilad and MPTC. Maynilad posted
a 6% increase in revenues brought about by 4% billed volume growth coupled with 3% inflationary
increase in average effective tariff. MPTC likewise posted 20% higher revenues mainly due to 6%
higher average daily vehicle entries in NLEX and consolidation of CIC starting January 2, 2013
through Management-Letter Agreement. Hospital revenues also increased by 10% mainly driven by
increasing number of patients served at MMC and AHI and consolidation of DLSMC and CLDH.
Cost of Sales and Services
Cost of sales and services increased by 6% to P
=11,845 million in 2013. Salaries, wages and benefits
increased by 21% due to increase in headcount and annual salary. In addition, operators fee and
provision for heavy maintenance increased by 14% and 56%, respectively, due to consolidation of
CIC. The increases in these items of cost of sales and services were offset by the lower amortization
of service concession asset driven by the change in Maynilads amortization method from straight line
to units-of-production (UOP).
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 16% to P
=6,261 million in 2013 due to increases in
personnel costs, professional fees and depreciation & amortization driven by consolidation of CIC,
DLSMC and CLDH. Annual salary increases and expanded headcount caused the increase in
42
personnel cost while continuing capital expenditure program caused the increase in depreciation and
amortization cost. Increase in professional fees is due to the Companys project bidding expenses.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased by 9% to P
=4,001 million in 2013 mainly due to consolidation of CICs own
loan and interest from the P
=4.7 billion loan to fund the acquisition of CAVITEX.
Share in net earnings of associates and a joint venture
Increase in MPICs share in the cumulative net earnings of associates and joint venture in 2013 was
due to increases in operational performance at Meralco, TMC, MDI. and DDH plus increase in
ownership in Meralco which was partially held back by Meralcos recognition of gain from recovery
of Local Franchise Tax in 2012.
Interest income
Interest income decreased by 29% to P
=462 million in 2013 mainly due to lower level of placements in
2013 as compared with 2012. The proceeds from the equity placement in January 2013 were
subsequently used to pay the P
=4.7 billion loan due in March 2013.
Other income and expenses
Other income and expenses decreased by 37% to P
=554 million with income from reversal of certain
provisions recognized in 2012 in relation to the prescription of the Transitional and Clarificatory
Agreement and Maynilad's offer to fully settle claim of MWSS. (see Notes 3 and 20 to the 2013
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements)
Provision for income tax
Provision for income tax decreased by 64% to P
=593 million due to Maynilads higher deferred tax
benefit from IFRIC 12, lower current tax due to MNTCs election of the Optional Standard Deduction
(OSD) for taxable year 2013 and recognition of deferred tax asset from reassessment of recoverability
of NOLCO of CIC.
Consolidated net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company
The 22% increase from P
=5,907 million to P
=7,209 million for the period is attributable mainly to the
strong growth in profit contribution of the major businesses. In summary: increase in Maynilads
contribution due mainly to higher billed volume and tariff; increased traffic volume and additional
contribution from acquisition of CIC; and increase in hospital revenue and effective cost management
in Healthcare group.
Other comprehensive income
Other comprehensive income of P
=384 million is mainly composed of recognition of unrealized gain
on fair value change in available for sale financial assets and the Companys share in the other
comprehensive income (loss) of Beacon Electric which includes actuarial gain on defined benefit plan
of Meralco offset by the loss on fair value change in Beacon Electric's cash flow hedge.
43
These represent MPICs share in the stand-alone core income of the operating companies, net of
consolidation adjustments.
Maynilad, Beacon Electric/Meralco, MPTC and Healthcare accounted for 44%, 27%, 22% and 7%,
respectively of MPICs share of operating income.
Non-recurring expenses
Non-recurring expenses amounted to P
=20 million and P
=657 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Non-recurring expenses are mainly composed of debt refinancing costs of Maynilad, MPIC and
Beacon Electric in 2012.

Operational highlights
Maynilad, the biggest water utility in the Philippines, saw a 4% increase in the volume of water sold
in its concession area in 2013, a rate of growth held back by ongoing project delays in Cavite. The
increase in water sold was achieved even as Maynilad managed to draw 4% less water from the Angat
Dam.
Selling more water while drawing less was made possible by reductions in leaks and theft, otherwise
known as non-revenue water (NRW), which fell to 35.4% as at the end of December 2013 from
41.0% a year earlier. The improvement was achieved on the strength of Maynilads continuing leak
repair program, which saw 41,171 leaks repaired in 2013.
The program, coupled with pipe rehabilitation and more efficient management of water pressure and
supply, has resulted in the recovery of over 138 million liters per day of water. Maynilad continues to
push forward with its ambitious NRW reduction program by allocating P
=1.7 billion in 2013 for NRW
diagnostics, leak repairs and the establishment and maintenance of District Metered Areas.
Maynilad now delivers 24-hour water supply to 97.8% of its customers, while 99.9% of customers
also receive water pressure of at least seven pounds per square inch, the minimum pressure necessary
45
to pump water to the second floor. The year-earlier percentages were 96.0% and 99.8%, respectively.
The number of billed customers rose 5% to 1,129,497 by the end of December 2013 from 1,073,508 a
year earlier.

Operational highlights
MPTCs Core Net Income of P
=2.0 billion for 2013 was 25% higher than a year earlier as a result of
strong traffic growth and lower tax rates, interest and operating costs on the NLEX as well as the first
contribution from CAVITEX, beginning on January 2, 2013. Average daily entries rose 6% on the
NLEX and 9% on the CAVITEX in 2013 from a year earlier.
Construction continues on the first stage of the NLEX Harbour Link extension following a groundbreaking ceremony last year. The 8-kilometer road to link NLEX to the North Manila Port will see its
first stage open as soon as the second quarter of next year.
MNTC signed a Joint Venture Agreement with PNCC to build an elevated expressway to connect the
Northern and Southern toll road systems. The Metro Expressway Link Project is a planned fourlane elevated expressway to connect the Harbour Link to Southern Luzon. MPTC expects the
Connector Road to increase traffic on existing Northern and Southern toll road systems by enabling
commercial vehicles to traverse Metro Manila without violating a daytime truck ban and by slashing
travel time between the two road systems to as little as 20 minutes from over an hour or more today.
CAVITEX is a 14-kilometer toll road built in two segments running from Paraaque to Cavite with
average traffic of 100,000 vehicle entries a day. The road offers significant expansion prospects as a
47
result of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport 2 and Cavite-Laguna expressway projects which aim
to connect to CAVITEX, as well as from the recently opened Ternate-Nasugbu tunnel which will
substantially reduce the journey time between Batangas and Manila.
The NLEX Harbour Link, Citilink and Metro Expressway Link projects together with expansion of
the CAVITEX will see MPTC invest approximately P
=41 billion over the next few years to complete
construction of this vital road infrastructure. MPTC and MPIC intend to fund this sum using internal
resources and external debt.
As negotiations with the Government approach their fourth year without resolution, MNTC continues
to await the turning-over of management of the SCTEX from the BCDA. MNTC plans to invest
=400 million to integrate SCTEX with NLEX to facilitate seamless travel between the two
P
expressways but cannot move forward until this basic question is settled.
In addition, MPTC continues to await approval of toll rate adjustments which are overdue by over two
years for R1 of CAVITEX, which should have been effective from January 1, 2012 and more than one
year for NLEX, which was to be effective from January 1, 2013.
Net Toll Revenues
Net toll revenues amounted to P
=8,154 million, 20% higher year-on-year, mainly due to contribution
from CIC and traffic volume growth in 2013. Average daily traffic along NLEX reached 173,067
vehicle entries in 2013, 6% higher than in 2012.
Costs of services and Operating expenses
Total cost and expenses increased primarily on account of consolidation of CIC starting January 2,
2013 which contributed P
=439 million of the total expenses. Excluding the effect of CIC, total cost and
expenses increased by 3% largely due to NLEXs operators fee.
Interest expense - net
Financing cost increased by 72% or P
=395 million mainly due to consolidation of CIC with interest
expense on its long term debt amounting to P
=457 million. This was partly offset by lower interest
expense from MNTC due to pre-termination of PNB interest rate swap agreement which also
decreased the interest rate from 6.01% to 1.44%.
Core income
Core income increased by 25% to P
=1,963 million mainly due to contribution from CIC plus higher
traffic volume, lower operating cost and interest expense in NLEX.
Non-recurring income
Non-recurring items include forex gain from CIC's dollar loans and business development expenses.
Reported Net income attributable to equity holders of MPTC
Reported Net income increased by 36% in 2013 mainly due to contribution from CIC and higher toll
revenues.

Operational highlights
Meralco's Reported Net Income for 2013 was broadly flat at P
=17.2 billion. Core Net Income for 2013
rose marginally to P
=17.0 billion on the strength of a 4% increase in energy sales to 34,084 gigawatt
hours and a slightly improved distribution tariff. The volume growth was buoyed by sustained healthy
demand from the commercial and residential segments, which grew by 4.3% and 4.7%, respectively,
followed by growth of 3.0% in industrial electricity consumption.
Capital expenditures for 2013 declined to P
=10.2 billion from P
=10.3 billion a year earlier, and was
invested mainly in new substations designed to decongest critical loads, provide additional capacity
for load growth and improve network reliability.
Meralco's capex commitment is delivering strong returns. The 12-month moving average system loss
fell to just 6.92% as at the end of December 2013. This level is 1.58 percentage points lower than the
regulatory cap of 8.5%, and marks the best performance in MERALCO's 110-year history. Gains
achieved from such system loss accrue to MERALCOs customers for 2013, alone, the decline in
System loss translated to customers benefit of P
=3.9 billion.
Meralco continues to build out businesses crucial to its growth.
Meralco's goal of participating in power generation in the Philippines moved forward on
August 29, 2013, when MGen signed a Joint Development Agreement with a wholly-owned
subsidiary of EGCO of Thailand for the development of a new 460 MW supercritical coal-fired power
plant in Mauban, Quezon. MGen's equity in the joint venture company will be 49% with a right to
nominate a preferred investor for an additional 2%. Together with EGCO, MGen is selecting a
financial advisor for project financing and tendering the Engineering, Procurement and Construction
contract for the project.
On October 22, 2013, MGen and FMIC announced that they had signed a SHA to complete the sale of
FMIC's 20% stake in Global Business Power Corporation (GBPC) to MGen for a consideration of
=7.15 billion. GBPC is one of the largest power producers in the Visayas with nine coal and diesel
P
power plants amounting to a total installed capacity of 627 MW with two more projects on the way,
an 82 MW plant in Toledo City and a 150 MW expansion in Panay.
49
In Singapore, PacificLight Power in which Meralco holds a 28% effective economic interest,
completed commissioning of both its power generating units by January 2014.
In the meantime, MGens project to build a 2x300MW coal-fired plant in Subic Bay continues to be
held back by regulatory and legal constraints, despite efforts to implement it for over three years.
On June 26, 2013, Retail Competition and Open Access commenced on a voluntary basis, allowing
major electricity consumers to shop for the lowest electricity prices. Out of 782 qualified customers in
the Meralco franchise area, 287 customers opted for immediate contestability and of those, 167 signed
up with Meralco's Retail Electricity Supply unit MPower. This testifies to the competitiveness of
Meralco's pricing and its commitment to its customers.

2013 to 2015 for Maynilad's LTIP and 2012 to 2014 for MPTCs LTIP) with payment intended to be

of an approved target core income of the Company by the end of the performance cycle. Each LTIP
performance cycle, upon endorsement of the Compensation Committee, is approved by the respective
board of directors of the entities of the Company.

1. Corporate Information
Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (the Parent Company or MPIC) was incorporated in the
Philippines and registered with the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on
March 20, 2006 as an investment holding company. MPICs common shares of stock are listed in
and traded through the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). On August 6, 2012, MPIC launched
Sponsored Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) Program with Deutsche Bank as the
appointed depositary bank in line with the Parent Companys thrust to widen the availability of its
shares to investors in the United States.
The principal activities of the Parent Companys subsidiaries and equity method investees are
described in Notes 2 and 11, respectively.
MPIC is 55.8% owned by Metro Pacific Holdings, Inc. (MPHI) as at December 31, 2014 and
2013. MPHIs economic interest in MPIC is reduced from 55.8% to 52.1% as at February 26,
2015 as a result of the overnight placement on February 9, 2015 (see Note 39).
MPHI is a Philippine corporation whose stockholders are Enterprise Investment Holdings, Inc.
(EIH; 60.0% interest), Intalink B.V. (26.7% interest) and First Pacific International Limited (FPIL;
13.3% interest). First Pacific Company Limited (FPC), a company incorporated in Bermuda and
listed in Hong Kong, through its subsidiaries, Intalink B.V. and FPIL, holds 40.0% equity interest
in EIH and investment financing which under Hong Kong Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, require FPC to account for the results and assets and liabilities of EIH and its
subsidiaries as part of FPC group of companies in Hong Kong.
The registered office address of the Parent Company is 10th Floor, MGO Building, Legaspi corner
Dela Rosa Streets, Legaspi Village, Makati City.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 were approved and authorized for
issuance by the Board of Directors (BOD) on February 26, 2015.
*SGVFS008665*
-2Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Parent
Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to
variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if and only if
the Company has:
Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the
relevant activities of the investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the
Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an
investee, including:
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
The Companys voting rights and potential voting rights
The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate
that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.
Subsidiaries of the Company also included structured entities that were set-up for the benefit of
the Company. Based on contractual terms, the Company assessed that the voting rights in these
structured entities are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls these structured entities.
Thus, these entities were assessed to be structured entities and controlled by the Company under
PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. The voting shares of the third-party stockholders in
these structured entities are accounted for as non-controlling interest. The Company does not have
interests in unconsolidated structured entities.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and
ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses
of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company
ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the
equity holders of the Parent Company and to the non-controlling interests (NCIs), even if this
results in the NCIs having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Companys
accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows
relating to transactions between members of the Company are eliminated in full on consolidation.
NCI represents the portion of profit or loss and the net assets not held by owners of the Parent
Company and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from total equity
attributable to owners of the Parent Company.

-3A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an
equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:

PAS 32, Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments) These
amendments clarify the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off and
the criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify for
offsetting. These amendments affected the presentation only and had no impact on the
Companys financial position or performance.
Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 Cycle) PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement
Short-term Receivables and Payables This amendment clarifies that short-term receivables
and payables with no stated interest rates can be held at invoice amounts when the effect of
discounting is immaterial. This amendment had no material impact on the Companys
financial position or performance.
The following standards were also adopted but did not have any impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements:
PFRS 10, PFRS 12 and PAS 27, Investment Entities (Amendments) These amendments
provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of
an investment entity under PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. The exception to
consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through
profit or loss.
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Novation of Derivatives and
Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments) These amendments provide relief from
discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging
instrument meets certain criteria. The Company has not novated any of its derivatives during
the current period. However, these amendments would be considered for any future
novations.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 21, Levies IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is applied retrospectively. It is applicable to all
levies imposed by governments under legislation, other than outflows that are within the scope
of other standards (e.g., PAS 12, Income Taxes) and fines or other penalties for breaches of
legislation. The interpretation clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy no earlier
than when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs.
It also clarifies that a levy liability is accrued progressively only if the activity that triggers
payment occurs over a period of time, in accordance with the relevant legislation. For a levy
that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, no liability is recognized before the
specified minimum threshold is reached.
The principal accounting and financial reporting policies adopted in preparing the Companys
consolidated financial statements are as follows:
*SGVFS008665*
*SGVFS008665*
-7If the initial accounting for business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end
of the period by which the combination is effected because the fair values to be assigned to the
acquirees identifiable assets and liabilities can be determined only provisionally, the Company
accounts for the combination using provisional values. Adjustments to those provisional values as
a result of completing the initial accounting shall be made within twelve (12) months from the
acquisition date. The carrying amount of an identifiable asset, liability or contingent liability that
is recognized as a result of completing the initial accounting shall be calculated as if its fair value
at the acquisition date had been recognized from that date. Goodwill or any gain recognized shall
be adjusted from the acquisition date by an amount equal to the adjustment to the fair value at the
acquisition date of the identifiable asset, liability or contingent liability being recognized or
adjusted.
Equity Method Investees
Equity method investees consist of the Companys investments in associates and joint ventures.
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence
is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not
control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually
agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant
activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those
necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.
The Companys investments in its associate and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity
method.
Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized at
cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Companys
share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to
the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither
amortized nor individually tested for impairment.
The Companys share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture is included in
profit or loss. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Companys OCI.
In addition, when there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate or joint
venture, the Company recognizes its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated
statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between
the Company and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the
associate or joint venture.
The aggregate of the Companys share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown
on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income outside operating profit and
represents profit or loss after tax and NCI in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting
period as the Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in
line with those of the Company.
*SGVFS008665*
-8After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to
recognize an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting
date, the Company determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the
associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Company calculates the
amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint
venture and its carrying value, then recognizes the loss as Share in net earnings of equity method
investees in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the
Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference
between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or
joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized
in profit or loss.
Current Versus Non-current Classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position
based on current/non-current classification.
An asset is current when it is:
Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle
Held primarily for the purpose of trading
Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
classified as non-current assets and liabilities, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures derivatives at fair value at each reporting date and, for purposes of
impairment testing, uses fair value less costs of disposal or value in use to determine the
recoverable amount of some of its non-financial assets. Also, fair values of financial instruments
measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 37.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:
*SGVFS008665*
-9The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a
market participants ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best
use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best
use.
The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on
their quoted price or binding dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for
short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. Securities defined in these accounts
as listed are traded in an active market. Where the Company has financial assets and financial
liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk, it has elected to use
the measurement exception to measure the fair value of its net risk exposure by applying the bid or
ask price to the net open position as appropriate. For all other financial instruments not traded in
an active market, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques deemed to be
appropriate in the circumstances. Valuation techniques include the market approach (i.e., using
recent arms length market transactions adjusted as necessary and reference to the current market
value of another instrument that is substantially the same) and the income approach (i.e.,
discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models making as much use of available and
supportable market data as possible).
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair
value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value
hierarchy described as follows based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring
basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by
reassessing categorization (based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement,
such as derivatives, and non-recurring measurement, such as impairment tests. At each reporting
date, the finance team, with the assistance of the respective finance teams of the Parent
Companys subsidiaries, analyzes the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are
required to be re-measured or reassessed as per the Companys accounting policies. For this
analysis, the finance team verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the
information in the valuation computation to contracts, counterparty assessment and other relevant

- 10 The finance team also compares the changes in the fair value of each asset and liability with
relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable. On an interim basis, the
finance team presents the valuation results to the Companys top management for review. This
includes a discussion of the major assumptions used in the valuations.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and
liabilities based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the
fair value hierarchy as explained above (see Note 37).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three
months or less from acquisition date and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value.
Restricted Cash and Short-term Deposits
Restricted cash represents cash in banks earmarked for long-term debt principal and interest
repayment maintained in compliance with the loan agreement. Short-term deposits, other than
those classified as AFS, are highly liquid money market placements with maturities of more than
three months but less than one year from dates of acquisition.
Financial Instruments
The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the consolidated statement of
financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All
regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date. Regular
way purchases and sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets
within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis.
Initial Recognition. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value, which is the fair
value of the consideration given (in case of an asset) or received (in case of a liability). The fair
value of the consideration given or received is determined by reference to the transaction price or
other market prices. If such market prices are not reliably determinable, the fair value of the
consideration is estimated as the sum of all future cash payments or receipts, discounted using the
prevailing market interest rates for similar instruments with similar maturities. The initial
measurement of financial instruments, except for financial instruments at fair value through profit
or loss (FVPL), includes transaction costs.
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at
FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, loans and receivables, AFS financial assets, financial
liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired or
liabilities were incurred and whether they are quoted in an active market. Management determines
the classification of its instruments at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, reevaluates such classification at every reporting date.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividend, gains and losses relating to a financial liability or a
component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders
of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of related income
tax benefits.
*SGVFS008665*
The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would
otherwise arise from measuring the financial assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses
on them on different bases; or
The assets are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are
managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a
documented risk management or investment strategy; or
The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative
does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it
would not be separately recorded.
The Company accounts for its derivatives (including embedded derivatives) under this category
with fair value changes being reported directly in profit or loss, except when the derivative is
designated in an effective hedging relationship. In that case, the fair value change is either
reported in profit or loss with the corresponding adjustment to the hedged item (fair value hedge)
or deferred in equity (cash flow hedge) presented as Fair value changes on cash flow hedges
under Other comprehensive income reserve account.
*SGVFS008665*
- 12 The Companys financial asset at FVPL as at December 31, 2013 consisted of bifurcated
derivatives only, which derivative asset was derecognized in 2014 (see Note 36).
The interest rate swap entered in 2011 constituting the Companys financial liability at FVPL as at
December 31, 2011 was preterminated on December 15, 2012 (see Note 19).
Loans and Receivables. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the
intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not classified as financial assets at FVPL,
HTM investments or AFS financial assets. After initial measurement, loans and receivables are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any
impairment. The amortization is included as part of interest income in profit or loss. Losses
arising from impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Loans and receivables are included in
current assets if maturity is within 12 months after the end of reporting period, otherwise these are
classified as noncurrent assets.
Loans and receivables include cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits (excluding Unit
Investment Trust Fund presented as short-term deposits but classified as AFS financial assets) and
long-term deposits, receivables, investments in preferred shares with mandatory redemption
feature, restricted cash and other deposits, and due from related parties (see Notes 7, 8, 9, and 21).
HTM Investments. HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments and fixed maturities for which the Companys management has the
positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined
period are not included in this classification. When the Company sells or reclassifies other than an
insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire category would be tainted for 2 years and
reclassified as AFS financial assets.
After initial measurement, these investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The
amortization is included as part of interest income in profit or loss. Gains and losses are
recognized in profit or loss when the HTM investments are derecognized and impaired, as well as
through the amortization process. The losses arising from impairment of such investments and the
effects of restatement on foreign currency denominated HTM investments are also recognized in
profit or loss. Assets under this category are classified as current assets if maturity is within 12
months from the reporting date and as noncurrent assets if maturity is more than a year from the
reporting date.
The Company has investments in fixed rate retail treasury bonds of the Republic of the Philippines
(ROP) that were previously classified as HTM investments prior to 2010. In view of the
pretermination of the HTM investments in 2010, the fixed rate retail treasury bonds were
reclassified to AFS financial assets and continues to be presented as such (see Notes 10 and 36).
AFS Financial Assets. AFS financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated
as such or not classified in any of the other categories. AFS financial assets include equity and
debt securities. They are purchased and held indefinitely and may be sold in response to liquidity
requirements or changes in market conditions.
*SGVFS008665*
- 13 After initial measurement, AFS financial assets that are quoted are subsequently measured at fair
value. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the change in fair value of AFS financial
assets are recognized and included in the Other comprehensive income until the investment is
derecognized or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gains or losses are
reclassified to profit or loss. When the Company holds more than one investment in the same
security, these are deemed to be disposed of on an average costing method basis. Interest earned
on holding AFS debt financial assets are reported as interest income using the effective interest
rate method. Dividends earned on holding AFS equity financial assets are recognized in profit or
loss when the right of payment has been established. AFS equity financial assets that are
unquoted and for which fair values cannot be reliably determined are carried at cost less any
impairment in value.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, this category includes investments in quoted and unquoted
common shares and preferred shares, Unit Investment Trust Fund, investments in golf shares and
investments in bonds (see Notes 7, 10 and 11).
Other Financial Liabilities. This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held for
trading or not designated as at FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities
arising from operations and borrowings.
Other financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently carried at
amortized cost, taking into account the impact of applying the effective interest method of
amortization (or accretion) for any related premium, discount and any directly attributable
transaction cost. Any effect of restatement of foreign currency-denominated liabilities are
recognized in profit or loss.
All of the Companys financial liabilities, except for derivative liabilities, are classified as other
financial liabilities which include the following, among others:
a. Loans and Borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value of the consideration received
less directly attributable transaction costs (referred to as debt issue costs). Debt issue costs
are amortized over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method. After
initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit
or loss when the liabilities are derecognized, as well as through the amortization process. This
category generally includes short-term and long-term debt.
b. Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a
payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor
fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently,
the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of reporting period and the amount recognized less
cumulative amortization. This category generally includes financial guarantee obligation.
*SGVFS008665*
*SGVFS008665*
- 15 Embedded Derivatives. An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and
accounted for as derivative if all the following conditions are met:
The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely
related to the economic characteristics of the host contract;
A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the
definition of the derivative; and
The hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized as at FVPL.
Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host contracts are accounted for as financial
assets or liabilities at FVPL. Changes in fair values are recognized in profit or loss. Derivatives
are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is
negative.
The Company assesses whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host
contract and accounted for as a derivative when the entity first becomes a party to the contract.
Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless there is a change in the terms of the contract that
significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which
case reassessment is required. The Company determines whether a modification to cash flows is
significant by considering the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the
embedded derivative, the host contract or both have changed and whether the change is significant
relative to the previously expected cash flows on the contract.
Current Versus Noncurrent Classification of Derivatives
Derivative instruments that are not designated and considered as effective hedging instruments are
classified as current or noncurrent or separated into a current and noncurrent portion based on an
assessment of the facts and circumstances (i.e., the underlying contracted cash flows).
If the Company holds a derivative for trading purposes, irrespective of the timing of future
cash flows, it is classified as current.
Where the Company holds a derivative as an economic hedge (and does not apply hedge
accounting), for period beyond 12 months after the end of reporting period, the derivative is
classified as noncurrent (or separated into current and noncurrent portions) consistent with the
classification of the underlying item.
Embedded derivatives that are not closely related to the host contract are classified consistent
with the cash flows of the host contract.
Derivative instruments that are designated as, and are considered effective hedging instruments,
are classified consistent with the classification of the underlying hedged item. The derivative
instrument is separated into a current portion and noncurrent portion only if a reliable allocation
can be made.
Classification of Financial Instruments Between Liability and Equity
A financial instrument is classified as a liability if it provides for a contractual obligation to:
*SGVFS008665*
- 16 If the Company does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial
asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability.
The components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements are
accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after
deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the
liability component on the date of issue.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each end of reporting period whether a financial asset or group of
financial assets is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the Company applies the relevant
impairment policies by measurement type of financial asset to determine the amount of any
impairment loss. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and
only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have
occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event (or
events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of
financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment may include
indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial
difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will
enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is
measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic
conditions that correlate with defaults.
Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence (such
as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) of impairment
exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or
collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no
objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether
significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk
characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets
that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to
be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost had been
incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not
been incurred) discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective
interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through
the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss. The
assets and the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future
recovery, and all collateral had been realized or had been transferred to the Company. If a writeoff is later recovered, the recovery is credited to profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the impairment loss decreases because of an event
occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is
reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss, to the
extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed what the amortized cost would have
been had the impairment not been recognized at the date impairment is reversed. The amount of
the reversal shall be recognized in profit or loss.
*SGVFS008665*
- 17 Assets Carried at Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss had been incurred
on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be
reliably measured, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current
market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the
amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss. The asset together with the associated allowance
are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral had been
realized or had been transferred to the Company.
AFS Financial Assets. For AFS financial assets, the Company assesses at each end of reporting
period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is
impaired.
In the case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, this would include a
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below their cost. Where there
is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition
cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously
recognized in profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income reserve and recognized
in profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss.
Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income
reserve.
In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS financial assets, impairment is assessed based on
the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for
impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the
current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or
loss. Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the
asset, using the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the
impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of Interest income in profit or loss. If, in
subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
Derecognition of Financial Instruments
Financial Asset. A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a
group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:
The Companys rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
The Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an
obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through
arrangement; or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the
asset.
*SGVFS008665*
- 18 Where the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered
into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of
the Companys continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Company also recognizes an
associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that
reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that
takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original
carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could
be required to repay.
Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability
is discharged, cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by
another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the
original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective
carrying amounts and any costs or fees incurred are recognized in the profit or loss.
Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement
of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable right to offset the recognized
amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related
assets and liabilities are presented at gross amounts in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
Inventories
Inventories, which are included as part of Other current assets in the consolidated statement of
financial position, are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV).
Cost includes purchase price and import duties incurred in bringing each item of inventory to its
present location and condition. Cost is determined using the moving average method for the
healthcare segment; weighted average method for the tollways and the water segment. Inventories
and NRV basis for each of the segment are enumerated below:
Segment
Water & Tollways
Tollways
Inventories
Spare parts, materials and supplies
Transponders and magnetic cards

Current replacement cost
Estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less
estimated costs necessary to make the sale

Company
Maynilad, CIC and MNTC (a)
PHI
Prior to 2014, MNTC used the straight-line method of amortization (see Note 2 Changes in Accounting Policies)
The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at
each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of
consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the service concession asset is accounted
for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates. The amortization expense is recognized under the Cost of sales and
services account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The service concession assets will be derecognized upon turnover to the Grantor. There will be no
gain or loss upon derecognition as the service concession assets, which is expected to be fully
amortized by then, will be handed over to the Grantor with no consideration.
*SGVFS008665*
- 20 Deferred Project Costs. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a service concession are
recorded as Deferred Project Costs until commencement of the concession term, whereupon the
costs are transferred either to Service Concession Asset or Financial Asset depending if the
concession arrangement is under an intangible asset and financial asset model, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, except land, are carried at cost, excluding day-to-day servicing, less
accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss. The initial cost of property and equipment
comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes and any
directly attributable costs of bringing the property and equipment to its working condition and
location for its intended use. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such property and
equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects when the recognition criteria
are met. When significant parts of property and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals,
the Company recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation.
Likewise, when major repairs are performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the
property and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Land is stated at
cost less any impairment loss.
Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into operation, such as
repairs and maintenance, are normally recognized as expense in the period such costs are incurred.
In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an
increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of
property and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures
are capitalized as additional cost of the property and equipment.
Depreciation commences once the property and equipment are available for use and is computed
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Leasehold improvements
Land improvements
Building and building improvements
Office and other equipment, furniture and fixtures
Transportation equipment
Instruments, tools and other equipment
Library books
The assets residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the
asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
the item) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.
Construction in progress is stated at cost less any impairment in value. This includes cost of
construction and other direct costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time that
the relevant assets are completed and available for its intended use.
*SGVFS008665*
- 21 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, other than concession assets, acquired separately are measured on initial
recognition at cost. The costs of intangible assets acquired in a business combination are their fair
value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at
cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated
intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is
reflected in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication that an intangible asset may be impaired. The
amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are
reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the
expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted
for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized
in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment
annually, either individually or at the CGU level (see Note 15). The assessment of indefinite life is
reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If no
longer supportable, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective
basis.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in
profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Property Use Rights. Property use rights are made up of land and building use rights that arose
from transactions that qualified as business combinations, for which contracts are originally and
legally in the form of lease. Property use rights are initially recognized at fair value at the date of
business combination and subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease (see Notes 14 and 33) and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that these
are impaired.
Software Cost. Software cost (included as part of Other noncurrent assets account in the
consolidated statement of financial position) includes the cost of software purchased from a third
party, and other direct costs incurred in the software configuration and interface, coding and
installation of hardware, including parallel processing and data conversion. Software cost is
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. The carrying cost is
reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that software cost may be impaired.
Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,
the Company estimates the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the
higher of an assets or CGUs fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use (VIU) and is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
*SGVFS008665*
- 22 present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal,
recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be
identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by
valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair
value indicators. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations
which are prepared separately for each of the Companys CGUs to which the individual assets are
allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years.
For longer periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows
after the fifth year.
Impairment losses, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in profit or loss in those
expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
For nonfinancial assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to
determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer
exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the assets or CGUs
recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the assumptions used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset
does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior
years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount,
in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the
depreciation (in case of property and equipment) and amortization (in case of property use rights,
service concession assets and software cost) charges are adjusted in future periods to allocate the
assets revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining
useful life.
Goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment is determined
for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU, or group of CGUs, to which the
goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU, or group of CGUs, is less than the
carrying amount of the CGU or group of CGUs, to which goodwill had been allocated, an
impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future
periods.
Assets Held For Sale
Assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered
principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at
the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and are presented as current assets in
the statement of financial position.
Customers Guaranty Deposits
Customers guaranty deposits (included as part of Deferred credits and other long-term
liabilities account in the consolidated statement of financial position) are initially measured at fair
value. After initial recognition, these deposits are subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the effective interest method. The discount is amortized over the remaining concession period
using the effective interest method.
*SGVFS008665*
*SGVFS008665*
- 24 Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare the asset for
intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing
costs are capitalized until the asset is available for their intended use. If the resulting carrying
amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Borrowing
costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds,
as well as exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings used to finance these
projects, to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.
Provisions and Contingencies
General. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be
reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a
separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any
provision is presented in profit or loss, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of
money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense.
Warranties and Guarantees. Provision relates to estimated expenses of concluded and ongoing
debt settlement negotiations and certain warranties extended in relation to debt for asset swap
arrangements entered in prior years. The amount of provision is recognized upon entering into
such arrangement and is based on historical experience or best estimate as a result of ongoing
negotiations.
Provision for Heavy Maintenance. Provision for heavy maintenance pertains to the present value
of the estimated contractual obligations of the Company to restore the service concession assets or
toll roads to a specified level of serviceability during the service concession term and to maintain
the same assets in good condition prior to turnover of the assets to the Philippine Government.
The amount of provision is accrued every year and presented in profit or loss and is reduced by the
actual obligations paid for heavy maintenance of the service concession.
Contingent Liabilities. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial
statements but are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements unless the possibility
of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not
recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to consolidated
financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent Liabilities Recognized in a Business Combination. A contingent liability recognized in
a business combination is initially measured at its fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the
higher of the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the requirements for provisions
above or the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization
recognized in accordance with the requirements for revenue recognition.
*SGVFS008665*
Water and Sewerage Services Revenue. Revenues from water and sewerage services are
recognized upon supply of water to the customers. Billings to customers consist of water,
environmental and sewerage charges.
Toll Fees. Revenue from toll fees is recognized upon sale of toll tickets. Toll fees received in
advance, through transponders or magnetic cards, is recognized as income upon the holders
availment of the toll road services, net of sales discounts. The unused portion of toll fees
received in advance is reflected in Unearned revenue and other deposits under Accounts
payable and other current liabilities account in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
Hospital Revenue. Revenue is recognized upon rendering of medical services and sale of
medicines and other pharmaceutical products.
School Revenue - Tuition and Other School Fees. Tuition and other school fees are
recognized as income over the corresponding school term. Tuition and other school fees
related to the succeeding school term which are collected in advance are presented in
Unearned revenue and other deposits under Accounts payable and other current liabilities
in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Interest Income. Interest income is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest
method.
Dividend Income. Revenue is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established
which is upon the declaration date.
Guarantee Fees. Guarantee fees are recognized in accordance with the terms of the
agreement.
Sale of Investments. Gain or loss is recognized when risk and rewards of ownership had been
transferred to the buyer.
Others. Other income is recognized when there are incidental economic benefits, other than
the usual business operations, that will flow to the Company and can be measured reliably.

- 27 For the defined benefit minimum guarantee plan, the liability is determined based on the present
value of the excess of the projected defined benefit obligation over the projected defined
contribution plan obligation at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is
calculated annually by a qualified independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The
Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset)
for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the
beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account
any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions
and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to the defined benefit plan
are recognized in profit or loss.
The defined contribution liability, on the other hand, is measured at the fair value of the defined
contribution assets upon which the defined contribution benefits depend, with an adjustment for
margin on asset returns, if any, where this is reflected in the defined contribution benefits.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the
return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding
interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit
that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or
loss. The Company recognizes gains or losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the
settlement occurs.
Defined Benefit Plan. MPICs subsidiaries have funded, noncontributory retirement benefit plans
covering all their eligible regular employees. The net defined benefit liability or asset is the
aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period
reduced by the fair value of plan assets (if any), adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined
benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits
available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method.
Defined benefit costs comprise the following: (a) service cost; (b) net interest on the net defined
benefit liability or asset; and (c) remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset.
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on nonroutine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized
when plan amendment or curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically by
independent qualified actuaries.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net
defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by
applying the discount rate based on government bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in
profit or loss.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in
the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized
immediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. These
remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
*SGVFS008665*
- 28 Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance
policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Company, nor can they be paid
directly to the Company. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no
market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future
cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the
maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected
period until the settlement of the related obligations). If the fair value of the plan assets is higher
than the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the measurement of the resulting defined
benefit asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds
from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The Companys right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a
defined benefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when
reimbursement is virtually certain.
Termination benefit. Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the
termination of an employees employment as a result of either an entitys decision to terminate an
employees employment before the normal retirement date or an employees decision to accept an
offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment.
A liability and expense for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can
no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the entity recognizes related restructuring
costs. Initial recognition and subsequent changes to termination benefits are measured in
accordance with the nature of the employee benefit, as either post-employment benefits, shortterm employee benefits, or other long-term employee benefits.
Employee leave entitlement. Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized as a liability
when they are accrued to the employees. This is measured based on undiscounted amount of
liability for leave expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual
reporting period in which the employees rendered the related services.
Share-based Payment
The Company has an ESOP for eligible executives to receive remuneration in the form of sharebased payment transactions, whereby executives render services in exchange for the share option.
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value
of the stock options at the date at which they are granted. Fair value is determined using an
option-pricing model, further details of which are set forth in Note 31. In valuing equity-settled
transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to
the share price of the Parent Company (market conditions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in
equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on
the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (vesting date). The
cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each end of reporting period until
the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Companys best
estimate at that date of the number of awards that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss credit or
expense for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the
beginning and end of that period and is recognized as employee benefits.
*SGVFS008665*
- 29 No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting
is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not
the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are
satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the
expense as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. If the
modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, as measured immediately
before and after the modification, the entity shall include the incremental fair value granted in the
measurement of the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity
instruments granted. The incremental fair value granted is the difference between the fair value of
the modified equity instrument and that of the original equity instrument, both estimated as at the
date of the modification. If the modification occurs during the vesting period, the incremental fair
value granted is included in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received over
the period from the modification date until the date when the modified equity instruments vest, in
addition to the amount based on the grant date fair value of the original equity instruments, which
is recognized over the remainder of the original vesting period. If the modification occurs after
vesting date, the incremental fair value granted is recognized immediately, or over the vesting
period if the employee is required to complete an additional period of service before becoming
unconditionally entitled to those modified equity instruments.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of
cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. This
includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the entity or the
counterparty are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are
treated as if they were modifications of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the
computation of earnings per share.
Long-term Employee Benefits
The Companys Long-Term Incentives Plan (LTIP) grants cash incentives to eligible key
executives of the Parent Company and certain subsidiaries. Liability under the LTIP is determined
using the projected unit credit method. Employee benefit costs include current service costs,
interest cost, actuarial gains and losses, and past service costs. Past service costs and actuarial
gains and losses are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Foreign Currency-Denominated Transactions and Translations
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Parent
Companys functional and presentation currency. All subsidiaries and associates evaluate their
primary economic and operating environment and determine their functional currency. Items
included in the consolidated financial statements of each entity are initially measured using that
functional currency.
Transactions and balances. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the
functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rate of
exchange ruling at the end of reporting period. All differences are taken to profit or loss except
when qualified as adjustment to borrowing costs, and as discussed below for Maynilad.
*SGVFS008665*
- 30 Foreign exchange differentials relating to the restatement of concession fees payable are deferred
in view of the automatic reimbursement mechanism as approved by the MWSS Board of Trustees
under Amendment No. 1 of the Concession Agreement of Maynilad. Net foreign exchange losses
are recognized as deferred Foreign Currency Differential Adjustments (FCDA) and net foreign
exchange gains are recognized as deferred credits in the consolidated statement of financial
position. The write-off of the deferred FCDA or reversal of deferred credits will be made upon
determination of the new base foreign exchange rate as approved by the Regulatory Office during
every Rate Rebasing exercise, unless indication of impairment of the deferred FCDA would be
evident at an earlier date.
Foreign exchange differentials arising from other foreign currency-denominated transactions are
credited or charged to operations.
Group companies. On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated
into Philippine Peso at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of
comprehensive income are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in OCI. On
disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation
is recognized in profit or loss.
Income Taxes
Current Tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authority. The tax rates and tax laws used
to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date
where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not
in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect
to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes
provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Tax. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except (a) where the
deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting income nor taxable income; and (b) in respect of taxable temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the
reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits
of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular
corporate income tax (RCIT) and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that
it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from MCIT and NOLCO can be
utilized. Deferred tax, however, is not recognized when (a) it arises from the initial recognition of
an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or loss; and (b) in respect of
deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and
*SGVFS008665*
- 31 interest in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable
that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable income will be
available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each end of reporting period and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available
to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are
reassessed at each end of reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or
directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same tax authority.
Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate
recognition at that date, are recognized subsequently if new information about facts and
circumstances change. The adjustment is either treated as a reduction in goodwill (as long as it
does not exceed goodwill) if it was incurred during the measurement period or recognized in profit
or loss.
Sales Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax (commonly referred
to as value-added tax), except:
Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the tax
authority, in which case the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable
Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as
part of other current assets and accounts payable and other current liabilities in the consolidated
statement of financial position.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to the
owners of the Parent Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year, after considering the retroactive effect of stock dividend declaration, if any.
Diluted earnings per share attributable to owners of the Parent Company is calculated in the same
manner assuming that, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted for
potential common shares from the assumed exercise of ESOP and other dilutive instruments.

- 33 MPHHI. Moreover, the principal of Exchangeable Bond is in Philippine Peso, the same currency
as the functional currency of MPIC as the issuing entity. Thus, the Exchangeable Bond qualifies
as an equity instrument such that the proceeds from the Exchangeable Bond together with the
share subscription of GIC in MPHHI, were considered as equity transactions with a noncontrolling shareholder (see Note 22).
Power to exercise significant influence. Where the Company holds less than 20% of voting rights
in an investee but the Company has the power to exercise significant influence, such an
investment is treated as an associate. In an opposite situation, where the Company holds over
20% of voting rights of an investee (but not over 50%) and the Company does not exercise
significant influence, the investment is treated as an AFS investment. However, for the following
entities, the Company applied the following judgment to determine proper investment
classification:
Pacific Global One Aviation Company, Inc. (PGOACI). Despite having representation in the
board of directors, the interest in this entity is classified as AFS financial asset because
management and operations are accorded to the other incorporators. Interest in this entity is
solely to have ready access to aircraft transportation services which is necessary for aerial
surveys and other related emergencies and uses (see Note 10).
Interests in Landco. Prior to December 2014, the Parent Company classified its 19% interest in
Landcos common shares as investment in AFS Financial Asset. Following the restructuring plan
of Landco in preparation for its eventual sale, management classified and presented its interests in
Landco, including the receivables from Landco and ABHC as Assets held for sale. The Parent
Company is committed to the plan to sell its interests in Landco and has initiated actions to locate
a buyer. No impairment loss was recognized on the reclassification of the interests in Landco as at
December 31, 2014 as management expects that the fair value (estimated based on enterprise
value) less costs to sell is higher than the carrying amount (see Note 33).
Investment in Beacon Electric Asset Holdings, Inc. (Beacon Electric). The Company has
investments in Beacon Electrics common shares and preferred shares and made the following
judgments with respect to these investments:
Investments in Beacon Electrics common shares. For all joint arrangements structured in
separate vehicles, the Company must assess the substance of the joint arrangement in
determining whether it is classified as a joint venture or joint operation. This assessment
requires the Company to consider whether it has rights to the joint arrangements net assets (in
which case it is classified as a joint venture), or rights to and obligations for specific assets,
liabilities, expenses, and revenues (in which case it is classified as a joint operation). Factors
the Company considers include: structure, legal form, contractual agreement, and other facts
and circumstances. Upon consideration of these factors, the Company has determined that its
joint arrangement, structured through Beacon Electric as a separate vehicle, gives it rights to
*SGVFS008665*
- 34 the net assets of Beacon Electric, and therefore classified its investment in Beacon Electrics
common shares, as a joint venture. The Company has 50% ownership interest in Beacon
Electric through the common shares. The other 50% is held by PLDT Communications and
Energy Ventures, Inc. (PCEV).
Investment in Meralco directly and through Beacon Electric. Beacon Electric has 44.96% and
49.96% interest in Meralco as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Beacon Electric,
PCEV and MPIC have agreed, under the Omnibus Investment Agreement, on certain
corporate governance matters, including Board composition, election of officers, shareholders'
action, representation to the Meralco Board, nomination of the Meralco Board Committees,
and nomination of Meralco officers. In substance, Beacon Electric is a special purpose
vehicle which PCEV and MPIC created for the main purpose of holding and investing in
Meralco using the same Meralco shares as collateral for funding such investment. In applying
PFRS 10, the Company has made a judgment that the decision making power of Beacon
Electric over the Meralco shares is effectively delegated to the shareholders, PCEV and
MPIC, and that Beacon Electric does not exercise any discretion over the vote to be taken in
respect of the Meralco shares but is obligated to vote the Meralco shares strictly in accordance
with the instructions of the two shareholders (see Note 11). Thus, MPIC has significant
influence over Meralco and accounts for its direct interest and indirect interest in Meralco
through Beacon Electric using the equity method.
Service Concession Arrangements. In applying Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, the Company
has made a judgment that the service concession arrangements of the Companys water (Maynilad
and PHI), tollway (MNTC and CIC) and rail (LRMC) businesses qualify under the intangible asset
model as these companies receive the right to charge users of public service. Details of the
Companys accounting policy in respect of the service concession arrangements are set out in
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Other significant judgment and estimates made in
relation to concession arrangements are as follows:
Service Concession Assets. The methods of amortization that the Company use depends on
which method best reflect the pattern of consumption of the concession assets. Beginning
January 1, 2014, MNTC uses the UOP method for amortizing its service concession assets as
it determined that the economic benefit of these assets are more closely aligned with traffic
volume and kilometers travelled (see Note 2). The Company annually reviews the billable
water volume, in the case of the water concession and the traffic volume/kilometers travelled,
in the case of the toll concession, based on factors that include market conditions such as
population growth and consumption of water/usage of the toll facility, and the status of the
Companys projects. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected
by changes in the Companys estimates brought about by changes in the aforementioned
factors.
*SGVFS008665*
Construction revenue and costs. The Company recognizes construction revenues and costs in
accordance with PAS 11 (see Note 2). Given that the rehabilitation works have been
subcontracted to outside contractors (excluding the cost of some materials for some
contractors), the recognized construction revenue substantially approximates the related
construction cost. Construction revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income amounted to =
P6,669.6 million, P
=5,557.0 million and =
P6,730.7 million
for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Construction costs
recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income amounted to
P
=6,500.5 million, P
=5,432.0 million and P
=6,608.0 million for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Note 27).
Provision for heavy maintenance. The Company also recognizes its contractual obligations to
restore the toll roads to a specified level of serviceability. MNTC and CIC recognize
provision following PAS 37 as the obligation arises which is a consequence of the use of the
toll roads and therefore it is proportional to the number of vehicles using the roads and
increasing in measurable annual increments. Provision for heavy maintenance amounted to
P
=272.4 million and =
P433.0 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and these
are presented under Provisions account in the consolidated statements of financial position
(see Note 17).
Lease Agreement Qualifying as Business Combination. CVHMC and EMHMC entered into lease
agreements with the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila (RCAM), and Our Lady of Lourdes
Hospital, Inc. (OLLHI) and Servants of the Holy Spirit, Inc. (SSps), respectively. The Company
has assessed that the lease agreements meet the definition of a business combination, particularly
since EMHMC and CVHMC have obtained control over the operations and management of
hospitals, hence, both lease agreements qualify as acquisitions of businesses and were accounted
for in accordance with PFRS 3, resulting in the recognition of property use rights (see Note 14).
Transitional and Clarificatory Agreement (TCA). On August 9, 2007, Maynilad entered into a TCA
with MWSS to prescribe the procedures for the resolution of their dispute (see Note 32).
Pending resolution of the dispute, the disputed amounts of P
=5.0 billion and =
P4.9 billion as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are considered contingent liabilities. Prior to 2012, no
reversal of accrued interest payable was made pending resolution of the matter in accordance with the
dispute requirements of the TCA. However, with the prescription of the TCA and in light of
Maynilads current negotiations and outstanding offer of US$14 million to fully settle the claim of
MWSS, Maynilad reversed a portion of the accrued interest payable amounting to =
P378.1 million to
other income in 2012. Likewise, the Company reassessed and derecognized the contingent liability
amounting to =
P686.6 million recognized in the Companys consolidated financial statements as a
result of the application of the accounting for business combinations when the Company acquired
control of Maynilad (see Note 27).
Estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its
assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were
prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change
due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes
are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
*SGVFS008665*
- 36 Determination of Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company initially records all
financial instruments at fair value and subsequently carries certain financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgment.
Valuation techniques are used particularly for financial assets and financial liabilities that are not
quoted in an active market. Where valuation techniques are used to determine fair values
(e.g., discounted cash flow and option pricing models), they are periodically reviewed by qualified
personnel who are independent of the persons that initiated the transactions. All models are
calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent
practicable, models use only observable data as valuation inputs. However, other inputs such as
credit risk (whether that of the Company or the counterparties), forward prices, volatilities and
correlations, require management to develop estimates or make adjustments to observable data of
comparable instruments. The amount of changes in fair values would differ if the Company uses
different valuation assumptions or other acceptable methodologies. Any change in fair value of
these financial instruments would affect either the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income or consolidated statement of changes in equity.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in Note 37.
Purchase Price Allocation in Business Combinations, Goodwill and Gain on Bargain Purchase.
The Company accounts for the acquired businesses using the acquisition method which requires
extensive use of accounting judgments and estimates to allocate the purchase price to the fair
market values of the acquirees identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities, if any,
at the acquisition date. Any difference in the purchase price and the fair values of the net assets
acquired is recorded as either goodwill in the consolidated statement of financial position or gain
on bargain purchase in profit or loss. Thus, the numerous judgments made in estimating the fair
value to be assigned to the acquirees assets and liabilities can materially affect the Companys
financial position and performance.
The Companys acquisitions of certain subsidiaries have resulted in recognition of goodwill. The
carrying value of goodwill amounted to =
P18,308.2 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013
(see Note 12). The acquisition of CLDH in 2013 resulted in a gain on bargain purchase of
P
=22.1 million based on the purchase price allocation (see Notes 4 and 27).
Impairment of Loans and Receivables. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts
related to receivables using a combination of specific and collective assessments. The amounts
calculated in each level of impairment assessment are combined to determine the total amount of
allowance for doubtful accounts. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts that are considered
individually significant for any objective evidence that certain customers are unable to meet their
financial obligations. In these cases, the Company uses judgment, based on the best available facts
and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of its relationship with the customer and
the customers current credit status based on third party credit reports and known market factors. The
allowance provided is based on the difference between the present value of cash flows of the
receivable that the Company expects to collect, discounted at the receivables original effective
interest rate, and the carrying amount of the receivable. These specific allowances are re-evaluated
and adjusted as additional information received affects the amounts estimated. If no impairment loss
is determined for an individually assessed receivable, the receivable is included in a group of
receivables with similar credit risk characteristics and is collectively assessed for impairment. The
provision under collective assessment is based on historical collection and write-off experience and
change in customer payment terms. Impairment assessment is performed on a continuous basis
throughout the year.
*SGVFS008665*
- 37 The carrying values of receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, amounted to
=
P3,939.3 million and =
P4,342.0 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Allowance
for doubtful accounts amounted to =
P879.0 million and =
P866.7 million as at December 31, 2014 and
2013, respectively (see Notes 8 and 36).
Impairment of AFS Financial Assets. The Company treats an AFS equity financial asset as
impaired when there had been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its
acquisition cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of
what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. The Company treats significant
generally as 20.0% or more and prolonged as greater than 12 months for quoted equity
securities. In addition, the Company evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share
price for quoted equities and the future cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities.
For debt instruments classified as AFS financial assets, the Company considers loss events that
has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset, among others, the issuer is
experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal
payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. Other
observable data may indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash
flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Impairment loss was recognized for AFS financial asset amounting to =
P100.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2014 while there was no impairment loss for the years ended December 31,
2013 and 2012. The carrying value of AFS financial assets, including UITF classified as shortterm deposits (see Note 10) and investments in Beacon Electric preferred shares (see Note 11),
amounted to =
P19,076.1 million and P
=16,385.3 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively (see Notes 9, 10, 11 and 36).
Impairment of Goodwill. Goodwill is subject to annual impairment test. This requires an
estimation of the value in use of CGUs to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in
use requires the Company to estimate the expected future cash flows from the CGU and to choose
a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. No impairment
of goodwill was recognized for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.
The carrying value of goodwill amounted to =
P18,308.2 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013
(see Note 12).
Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets. Impairment review is performed when certain impairment
indicators are present. Determining the fair value of assets requires the estimation of cash flows
expected to be generated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such assets.
While it is believed that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the
consolidated financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these
assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting
impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the results of operations.

There were no impairment losses recognized on other non-financial assets for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2014.
Estimated Useful Lives of Property and Equipment, Property Use Rights and Software Costs. The
useful lives of each of the item of the Companys property and equipment, property use rights, and
software costs, are estimated based on the period over which the asset is expected to be available for
use. Such estimation is based on a collective assessment of similar businesses, internal technical
evaluation and experience with similar assets. The estimated useful life of each asset is reviewed at
each financial year-end and updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical
wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the asset.
It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the
amounts and timing of recorded expenses brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above.
A reduction in the estimated useful life of any item of property and equipment, property use rights and
software costs would increase the recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decrease the
carrying values of service concession assets, property and equipment and software costs.
There was no change in the estimated useful lives of the property use rights, property and equipment,
and software costs for all the periods presented.
Taxes. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax
laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the diversity of the Companys
businesses and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements or the nature
of the business itself, changes in differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions
made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and
expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for
possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities in which the Company operates. The amount
of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing
interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such
differences in interpretation may arise for a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions
prevailing in the respective domicile or to the operations of the Company.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely
timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The carrying
amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred tax assets to be utilized. The Company performs an annual evaluation of the realizability of
deferred income tax assets in determining the portion of deferred tax assets which should be
recognized. The Companys assessment on the recognition of deferred income tax assets on
deductible temporary differences is based on the forecasted taxable income of the following period.
*SGVFS008665*
- 39 This forecast is based on the Companys past results and future expectations on revenue and
expenses.
Maynilad recognized deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences expected to reverse after
the income tax holiday period, while deferred taxes on deductible temporary differences expected to
reverse during the income tax holiday and to items where doubt exists as to the tax benefits they will
bring in the future, are not recognized (see Note 29).
Net recognized deferred tax assets amounted to =
P1,163.6 million and P
=1,218.2 million as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Companys deductible temporary difference, unused
NOLCO and MCIT for which no deferred tax assets have been recognized amounted to
=
P6,122.7 million and P
=5,181.9 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively
(see Notes 15 and 29).
Deferred FCDA and Deferred Credits. Maynilad is entitled to recover (refund) foreign exchange
losses (gains) arising from restatement and payments of concession fees payable. For the unrealized
foreign exchange losses, Maynilad recognized deferred FCDA as an asset since this is a resource
controlled by Maynilad as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are
expected to flow to Maynilad. Unrealized foreign exchange gains, however, which will be refunded
to the customers, are presented as deferred credits.
In accordance with MWSS-RO Resolution No. 2009-069, the new base foreign exchange rate was
changed from =
P51.86 to =
P48.04 effective May 4, 2009.
Net deferred credits pertaining to these foreign exchange gains amounted to =
P602.4 million and
=
P478.2 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 20).
Retirement Costs. The cost of the defined benefit pension plan and the present value of the pension
obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various
assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination
of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the
complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly
sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions, described in Note 25, are reviewed at
each reporting date.
Accrued retirement liability under the defined benefit plan amounted to P
=439.5 million and
P
=333.2 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Notes 20 and 25).
Share-based Payments. The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with
employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are
granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payments requires determining the most
appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and
conditions of the grant. This also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the
valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield, and
making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for
share-based payments are disclosed in Note 31. The Company recognizes expenses based on the
estimated number of grants that will ultimately vest and will require settlement. The Companys
average turnover rate over the past few years is used to determine the attrition rate in computing
the benefit expense and the estimated liability.
Equity-based compensation expense recognized in 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to
P
=64.0 million, =
P18.2 million and =
P13.4 million, respectively (see Notes 25 and 31).
*SGVFS008665*
- 40 Long-Term Incentives Plan (LTIP). The LTIP for key executives of MPIC and certain subsidiaries
was approved by the Compensation Committee and the BOD and is based on profit targets for the
covered performance cycle. The cost of LTIP is determined using the projected unit credit method
based on prevailing discount rates and profit targets. While managements assumptions are
believed to be reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in actual results or changes in
assumptions may materially affect the Companys other long-term incentive benefits.
LTIP expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to
P
=440.2 million, P
=411.0 million and =
P164.9 million, respectively, and presented as Personnel
costs under General and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income. LTIP liability as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to
P
=850.3 million and =
P455.2 million, respectively, and is presented under Accounts payable and
other current liabilities and Deferred credits and other long-term liabilities account in the
consolidated statements of financial position (see Notes 16, 20 and 25).
Provisions. The Company recognizes provisions based on estimates of whether it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation. Where the final outcome of these
matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such differences will impact
the financial performance in the current period in which such determination is made.
Provisions mainly consist of provision for estimated expenses related to the concluded and ongoing
debt settlement negotiations and certain warranties and guarantees, claims and potential claims
against the Company, and provision for heavy maintenance. The provisions for the heavy
maintenance requires an estimation of the periodic cost, generally estimated to be every five to seven
years or the expected heavy maintenance dates, to restore the assets to a level of serviceability during
the concession term and in good condition before turnover to the Grantor. This is based on the best
estimate of management to be the amount expected to be incurred to settle the obligation at every
heavy maintenance dates discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of
the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability.
Additional provisions, excluding accretion, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
amounted to =
P1,392.0 million, P
=1,467.7 million and P
=982.1 million, respectively. Cumulative
provisions amounted to =
P5,773.0 million and =
P4,988.7 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively (see Note 17).
Contingencies. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are parties to certain lawsuits or claims
arising from the ordinary course of business. However, the Companys management and legal
counsel believe that the eventual liabilities under these lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements (see Note 32).

- 41 With the exception of the acquisition of NCI in MNTC and Megaclinic, the acquisitions below
were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method:
Acquisitions in 2014
There were no business combinations in 2014. However, there was an acquisition of noncontrolling interest in MNTC as disclosed below.
Acquisition of NCI in MNTC
On December 23, 2013, MPTDC and Egis Projects, SA (Egis) entered into a Share Purchase
Agreement for the sale and transfer of common shares of MNTC, representing 3.9% of the total
issued and outstanding capital stock of MNTC, held by Egis to MPTDC on January 10, 2014
(closing date). The purchase price is P
=2,056.68 per common share or a total consideration
of P
=1.5 billion, inclusive of the dividends allocable to the purchased shares amounting to
P
=48.5 million declared by MNTC on December 18, 2013 with payment date of January 31, 2014.
On July 18, 2014, MPTDC, Egis and Egis Investment Partners Philippines Inc. (EIP) entered into
a Share Purchase Agreement for EIPs acquisition of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of
MNTC held by Egis. Egis receivable from EIP as a result of the sale of the MNTC shares
amounted to =
P3,652.7 million (Egis Receivable) or =
P2,056.68 per share. EIP, which is owned
by MPTDC at 46% and by Egis at 54%, was incorporated for the sole purpose of holding the
acquired MNTC shares. This transaction effectively provided MPTDC an additional 4.6%
economic interest in MNTC for a total consideration of =
P1.7 billion representing substantially the
amount paid for the assignment by Egis of 46% of the Egis Receivable to MPTDC.
After the abovementioned transactions, MPTDCs effective economic ownership in MNTC
increased from 67.10% to 75.6%. The increase in effective ownership in MNTC is accounted for
as an equity transaction with the premium of P
=2,374.9 million recognized in equity (see Note 22).
The premium represents the difference between the carrying value of the additional interest
acquired and the total consideration paid.

Acquisition of CIC
In relation to the Convertible Note Agreement executed by and between MPTC and Cavitex
Holdings Inc. (CHI), MPTC, CHI with the conformity of its then subsidiary CIC, executed a
Management Letter-Agreement dated December 27, 2012, for the management of CIC by MPTC.
Under the Management Letter-Agreement, management of CIC by MPTC commenced on
January 2, 2013 and will continue until the issuance of the New CIC Shares in favor of MPTC as a
result of the conversion into or exchange of the CHI Preferred Shares for the said New CIC Shares
(Management Period). Also under the Management-Letter Agreement, MPTC shall receive all
the financial benefits from CICs operations and all losses incurred by CIC shall be borne by
MPTC. Thus, by virtue of the Management Letter-Agreement, MPTC acquired control over CIC
effective January 2, 2013.
*SGVFS008665*
- 42 CIC holds the concession for the operation and maintenance of the Manila-Cavite Toll
Expressway (CAVITEX). The CAVITEX is a 14-km long toll road built in two segments
running from Paraaque to Cavite. The concession period extends to 2033 for the originally built
road and to 2046 for a subsequent extension.

respectively. No transaction costs were incurred for the business combination.
The fair value and gross amount of the receivables amounted to P
=3.0 million. None of the
receivables have been impaired and it is expected that the full contractual amounts will be
collected.
A contingent liability at a fair value of =
P1,100.1 million was recognized at the acquisition date
arising from probable claim from a third party. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the contingent
liability amounted to P
=1,171.7 million and =
P1,142.2 million, respectively, with the increase arising
from the passage of time. An indemnification asset (included in Other noncurrent assets)
amounting to =
P513.4 million as of acquisition date, was recognized in relation to such probable
claim. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the indemnification asset amounted to =
P548.3 million
and P
=533.0 million, respectively, with the increase arising from passage of time (see Note 15). No
further disclosures regarding the contingent liability arising from the probable claim are made by
MPTC at this time as MPTC believes that such further disclosures might be prejudicial to its
position.
*SGVFS008665*
- 43 The goodwill of P
=4,966.0 million that arose on the acquisition can be attributed to the synergies
expected to be derived from the business combination, particularly in connection with MPTCs
other existing and planned tollroad projects. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for
tax purposes.

P
=1,052.2 million and =
P251.8 million to the Companys consolidated revenue and consolidated net
income, respectively.
Acquisition of DLSMC and CLDH
On June 3, 2013, the Company, through MPHHI, acquired 51% of the voting equity interest in
DLSMC, a tertiary teaching and training hospital, by subscribing to 401,942 common shares.
Total cash paid as consideration for the acquisition amounted to =
P132.9 million. Megaclinic, an
ambulatory care center in SM Megamall, is a subsidiary of DLSMC as at acquisition date, and the
Companys first investment in a non-hospital-based diagnostic center.
On October 24, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% equity ownership in Central
Luzon Doctors Hospital, Tarlacs largest private hospital, for a total nominal consideration of
P
=188.8 million to be paid on a deferred arrangement. The fair value of the consideration is at
P
=149.6 million, of which P
=52.1 million remains outstanding as at December 31, 2013. The
funding will go towards the purchase of major medical equipment and the implementation of an
infrastructure development plan highlighted by the construction of a new building to house new
operating rooms, as well as additional patient beds and doctors clinics.
The Company acquired DLSMC and CLDH as part of its strategy to grow its portfolio and
increase the Companys total bed capacity and to be the largest private hospital group in the
Philippines.
The net assets recognized in the December 31, 2013 financial statements were based on a
provisional assessment of fair value while MPHHI sought an independent valuation for the
property and equipment owned by DLSMC and CLDH. The valuation had not been completed by
the date the 2013 consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the BOD.
*SGVFS008665*
- 44 In 2014, the valuation was completed and there were no differences between the provisional and

The goodwill arising from the acquisition of DLSMC is primarily attributed to the expected
synergies and other benefits from combining the assets and activities of DLSMC with those of the
hospitals of the Company. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Bargain
purchase resulting from the acquisition of CLDH is included in Construction revenue and other
income in the statement of comprehensive income (see Note 27).
The non-controlling interests were recognized as a proportion of net assets acquired.

- 46 The rail segment is a new segment beginning 2014. Although the rail segment does not meet the
quantitative thresholds required by PFRS 8, Operating Segments for reportable segments as the
companies are still under the pre-operating stage, management has concluded that this segment
should be reported as it is closely monitored by the BOD, comprises of significant investments in
the Governments public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives and is expected to materially
contribute to the Groups revenue in the future.
Customer Tariffs. The Companys results of operations are highly dependent on ability to set and
collect adequate tariffs for its Water Utilities, Toll Operations and Power segments:
Maynilad
Under Maynilads concession agreement with the Philippine government (see Note 13),
Maynilad may request tariff rate adjustments based on movements in the Philippine consumer
price index, foreign exchange currency differentials, a rate rebasing process scheduled to be
conducted every five years (Rate Rebasing) and certain extraordinary events. Any rate
adjustment requires approval by MWSS and the Regulatory Office (RO). Any tariff
adjustments that are not granted, in a timely manner, in full or at all, could have a material
adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and financial condition.
For the Fourth Rate Rebasing Period, Maynilad submitted the business plan for the
determination of the Rates Adjustment Limit to be applied to the standard rates for the period
2013 to 2017. MWSS released Board of Trustees Resolution No. 2013-100-RO dated
September 12, 2013 and RO Resolution No. 13-010-CA dated September 10, 2013 on the rate
rebasing adjustment for the rate rebasing period 2013 to 2017 reducing Maynilads 2012
average all-in basic water charge by 4.82% or P
=1.46 per cubic meter (cu.m) or P
=0.29 per cubic
meter (cu.m) per year over the next five years. Maynilad formally notified its objection and
initiated arbitration proceedings. On October 4, 2013, Maynilad filed its Dispute Notice
before the Appeals Panel. On December 17, 2013, the RO released Resolution No. 13-011CA regarding the implementation of a status quo for Maynilads Standard Rates and Foreign
Currency Differential Adjustment (FCDA) for any and all its scheduled adjustments until such
time that the Appeals Panel has issued the Final Award.
In a decision dated December 29, 2014, the Appeals Panel upheld the alternative rebasing
adjustment of Maynilad. This will result in a 9.8% increase in the 2013 average basic water
charge of P
=31.28 per cu.m., inclusive of the P
=1.00 Currency Exchange Rate Adjustment which
the MWSS has incorporated into the basic charge (the Award). The Award translates to an
average increase of =
P3.06/cu.m. For a typical household whose monthly water consumption is
20 cu.m., this would mean an increase in the average water charge of P
=1.68 per cu.m.
While there has been a two (2)-year delay in implementing an adjustment in the average basic
water charge - the Concession Agreement between MWSS and Maynilad expressly provides
for a one-time implementation of a positive rebasing adjustment - Maynilad is willing to
implement the increase on a staggered basis in order to mitigate the impact of the Award on its
customers in the West Zone of Metro Manila subject to approval of the MWSS.
In its letter dated February 9, 2015, the MWSS and RO, who received their copy of the Award
on January 7, 2015, informed Maynilad that they have decided to await the final outcome of
their arbitration with the other concessionaire, Manila Water Company, Inc., before making
any official pronouncements on the applicable resulting water rates for the two
concessionaires.
*SGVFS008665*
- 47 On February 20, 2015, Maynilad wrote the Philippine Government, through the Department of
Finance, with reference to the undertaking which the Republic of the Philippines (the
Republic) issued in favor of Maynilad on July 31, 1997 and March 17, 2010 (the
Undertaking). This Undertaking provides, amongst other things, that the Republic shall
indemnify Maynilad in respect of any losses occasioned by a delay caused by the Republic or
any government-owned agency in implementing any increase in the Standard Rates beyond
the date for its implementation in accordance with the Concession Agreement. Maynilads
call on the Undertaking comes after the MWSS and its RO, have chosen to defer the
implementation of the Award, despite the Award being final, binding and executory on
MWSS, the RO, and Maynilad.
As at February 26, 2015, Maynilad is still awaiting the MWSS Board of Trustees to approve
the 2015 tariff table showing the adjusted rates and the DOF reply.
MNTC and CIC
MNTC and CIC derive substantially all of their revenues from toll collections from the users
of the toll roads. The concession agreements establish a toll rate formula and adjustment
procedure for setting the appropriate toll rate. Subject to the Toll Regulatory Board validating
the calculation of the toll rate adjustment in accordance with the formula, toll rate adjustment
is scheduled every two calendar years for the NLEX and every three calendar years for the
CAVITEX.
As at February 26, 2015, MPTC continues to await approval by the Government of toll rate
adjustments for Radial Road 1 (R1) of CAVITEX and NLEX, which should have been
effective from January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2013, respectively.
Meralco
Meralco was among the first entrants to the Performance-Based Regulation (PBR). Ratesetting under PBR is governed by the Rules for Setting Distribution Wheeling Rates (RDWR).
The PBR scheme sets tariffs based on the regulated asset base of the Distribution Utility (DU),
and the required operating and capital expenditures once every regulatory period (RP), to meet
operational performance and service level requirements responsive to the need for adequate,
reliable and quality power, efficient service, growth of all customer classes in the franchise
area as approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). PBR also employs a
mechanism that penalizes or rewards a DU depending on its network and service performance.
Rate filings and setting are done every regulatory period (RP) where one RP consists of four
regulatory years. A regulatory year (RY) begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th of the
following year. The third RP is from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2015.
Meralco also files with the ERC its applications for recoveries of advances for pass-through
costs. These advances consist mainly of unrecovered or differential generation and
transmission charges technically referred to as under-recoveries, which are recoverable from
the customers, as allowed by law.
Segment performance and monitoring. The Companys chief operating decision maker is the
BOD. The BOD monitors the operating results of each business unit separately for the purpose of
making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is
evaluated based on: consolidated net income for the year; earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation and amortization, or Core EBITDA; Core EBITDA margin; and core income. Net
income for the year is measured consistent with consolidated net income in the consolidated
financial statements.
*SGVFS008665*
- 48 Core EBITDA is measured as net income excluding depreciation and amortization of property and
equipment and intangible assets, asset impairment on noncurrent assets, financing costs, interest
income, equity in net earnings (losses) of associates and joint ventures, net foreign exchange gains
(losses), net gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments, provision for (benefit from) income
tax and other non-recurring gains (losses). Core EBITDA margin pertains to Core EBITDA
divided by service revenues.
Performance of the operating segments is also assessed based on a measure of recurring profit or
core income. Core income is measured as net income attributable to owners of the Company
excluding the effects of foreign exchange and derivative gains or losses and non-recurring items
(NRI), net of tax effect of the aforementioned. NRI represent gains or losses that, through
occurrence or size, are not considered usual operating items.
Segment expenses and segment results exclude transfers or charges between business segments.
These transfers are also eliminated for purposes of the consolidated financial statements. For the
years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no revenue transactions with a single customer
accounted for 10% or more of the Companys consolidated revenues. Except for the equity in net
earnings recognized from the Companys investment in DMT (see Note 11), all revenues of the
Company were primarily derived from within the Philippines.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire service
concession assets, property and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill. For the
consolidated statements of financial position, difference between the combined segment assets and
the consolidated assets consist of adjustments and eliminations comprising of goodwill, deferred
tax and derivative assets. Difference between the combined segment liabilities and the
consolidated liabilities largely consist of deferred tax and derivative liabilities.
The following table shows the reconciliations of the Companys consolidated Core EBITDA to
consolidated net income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

- 69 On May 27, 2013, Beacon Electric entered into a Forward Starting Interest Rate Swap (Forward
Starting IRS) to hedge the interest repricing risk on the outstanding balance of the Tranche B
(P
=14,715 million) of the =
P17,000.0 Million Corporate Notes Facility by the end of the fifth year.
The Forward Starting IRS will have a receive leg based on a rate which will be determined on
March 26, 2018 and pay leg of 6.98% fixed rate that virtually matches the debts critical terms
(i.e, benchmark rate and fixing date). The hedge is expected to be highly effective and as such
Beacon Electric designates the Forward Starting IRS as a cash flow hedge. The changes in fair
value of the Forward Starting IRS will be deferred in equity under Beacon Electrics Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) Reserve account. For the periods ended December 31, 2014 and
2013, the Companys share in the Beacon Electrics other comprehensive income and loss from
the Forward Starting IRS amounted to P
=134.6 million (income) and P
=180.6 million (loss),
respectively, recognized as share in the fair value changes in cash flow hedges of equity method
investees in the Companys consolidated statement of comprehensive income (see Note 28).
Beacon Electrics loans are secured by a pledge on Meralco shares owned by Beacon Electric and
shall, from the date of the pledge over the Meralco shares, maintain the loan to value ratio at 50%.
The loan agreements also contain certain provisions which include the maintenance of a Debt
Service Account to be used by Beacon Electric to service interest payments and principal
repayments and maintenance of financial ratios such as debt to equity ratio, debt service coverage
ratio and loan to value ratio.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, Beacon Electric is in compliance with all the requirements
stipulated in the loan agreements.
Investment in Beacon Electrics preferred shares classified as AFS investments
The Company owns 50% of the Beacon Electrics issued preferred shares as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013. The preferred shares of Beacon Electric are non-voting, nonconvertible to common shares or any shares of any class of Beacon, have no pre-emptive rights to
subscribe to any share or convertible debt securities or warrants issued or sold by Beacon Electric.
The preference shareholder is entitled to liquidation preference and yearly cumulative dividend at
the rate of 7% of the issue value subject to (a) availability of unrestricted retained earnings; and
(b) dividend payment restrictions imposed by Beacon Electrics bank creditors. For the years
ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Parent Company received dividends from Beacon
Electrics preferred shares amounting to =
P405.1 million, P
=405.1 million and P
=561.4 million,
respectively (see Note 27). As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, total cumulative dividends on
preferred shares owned by both MPIC and PCEV not yet declared by Beacon Electric amounted to
a total of =
P2,430.4 million and P
=1,620.3 million, respectively.
Advances to Beacon Electric
Advances to Beacon Electric are non-interest bearing with no fixed repayment terms. The
Company views such advances as part of its long-term investment in Beacon Electric as evidence
by its inclusion in its interest in equity method investees.

The Company performs its annual impairment test close to year-end, after finalizing the annual
financial budgets and forecasts. The impairment test of goodwill is based on VIU calculations that
use the discounted cash flow model. Cash flow projections are based on most recent financial
budgets and forecast. Discount rates applied are based on market weighted average cost of capital
with estimated premium over cost of equity. The key assumptions used to determine the
recoverable amount for the different CGUs are discussed below.
Based on the impairment tests performed for each of the CGUs, management did not identify
impairment losses for these CGUs. Management also believes that no reasonably possible change
in any of the key assumptions would cause the carrying values of the CGUs to materially exceed
their respective recoverable amounts.

The forecasted period for Maynilad and PHI is greater than five (5) years as management can

Average forecast period for purposes of goodwill impairment testing for DLSMC, RMCI and AHI
is at 5 years with terminal value computed based on a zero-growth assumption for forecasts
beyond the 5 year period. The length of the projection for CVHMC is consistent with the
remaining lease term of its agreement with RCAM (see Note 33). Goodwill acquired from the
Companys acquisition of DLSMC in 2013 is based on provisional values (see Note 4) and
therefore the amount of goodwill has yet to be allocated to specific CGUs. Impairment testing
commenced in 2014 after finalization of the purchase price allocation.

Service Concession Assets Water Utilities. This represents the exclusive right granted to Maynilad
and PHI to provide water distribution and sewerage services and charge users for these services
during the concession period.
Maynilad. In February 1997, Maynilad entered into a concession agreement with MWSS,
with respect to the MWSS West Service Area. Under the concession agreement, MWSS
grants Maynilad, the sole right to manage, operate, repair, decommission and refurbish all
fixed and movable assets required to provide water and sewerage services in the West Service
Area for 25 years ending in 2022. In September 2009, MWSS approved an extension of its
concession agreement with Maynilad for another 15 years to 2037. The legal title to all
property, plant and equipment contributed to the existing MWSS system by Maynilad during
the concession period remains with Maynilad until the expiration date at which time, all rights,
titles and interests in such assets will automatically vest to MWSS. Under the concession
agreement, Maynilad is entitled to (a) an annual standard rate adjustment to compensate for
increases in the consumer price index subject to a rate adjustment limit; (b) an extraordinary
price adjustment to account for the financial consequences of the occurrence of certain
unforeseen events subject to grounds stipulated in the concession agreement; and (c) a rate
rebasing mechanism which allows rates to be adjusted every five years to enable Maynilad to
efficiently and prudently recover expenditures incurred, Philippine business taxes and
payments corresponding to debt service on concession fees and Maynilad loans incurred to
finance such expenditure. In accordance with the concession agreement, Maynilad posted a
performance bond in the amount of US$80.0 million to secure the performance of its
obligations under certain provisions of its concession agreement (see Note 33).
PHI. In August 2012, Maynilad acquired a 100% interest in PHI, which engages in water
distribution business in certain areas in central and southern Luzon. PHI is granted the sole
right to distribute water in these areas under certain concession agreements granted by the
Philippine government for 25 years to 2035.
Additions to the service concession assets for the water utilities substantially relate to cost of
rehabilitation, additional constructions and to the additional concession fees (see Note 18)
pertaining to the drawn portion of the MWSS loans relating to new projects. To date, Maynilad
had capitalized =
P3.44 billion on wastewater projects, of which P
=465.8 million was capitalized in
2014.

2014
On March 22, 2013, Maynilad entered into a Concessionaire Lenders Agreement for a
=
P 21.2 billion Term Loan Facility which was used to refinance certain outstanding debt. The
interest rate floor on the P
=21.2 Billion Term Loan Facility is an embedded derivative that was
assessed by Maynilad as not for bifurcation based on the provisions of PAS 39. The Term Loan
contains a negative pledge.
The World Bank (WB), through the Metro Manila Wastewater Management Project (MWMP),
provided a US$275 million loan to the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) for relending to
Maynilad and Manila Water Company, Inc., the concessionaire for the east service area. The loan
was divided equally to these two concessionaires. The MWMP is intended to finance investments
in wastewater collection and treatment, and septage management in Metro Manila. As at
December 31, 2013, Maynilad had drawn US$2.0 million from the facility and in 2014, Maynilad
made additional drawdown amounting to US$12.8 million.
Covenants. Maynilads loan agreements contain, among others, covenants regarding the
maintenance of certain financial ratios such as debt-to-equity ratio not to exceed 2.6 times and
debt service coverage ratio not to exceed 1.3 times, and maintenance of debt service account
(see Note 7). As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, Maynilad has complied with these covenants.
Significant covenants for the PHIs loan included maintenance of certain financial ratios and the
prohibition against declaration or payment of dividends to PHIs stockholders (other than
dividends payable solely in shares of its capital stock) if payment of any sum due to the lenders is
in arrears or if it would negatively affect PHIs financial condition. As at December 31, 2014 and
2013, PHI has complied with these covenants.

- 84 An interest rate swap (IRS) transaction was entered into to convert the floating rate =
P 2.1 billion
loan with PNB into a fixed rate loan effective March 14, 2011. The interest rate swap effectively
fixed the floating rate of the said loan over the remaining tenor at 5.9% per annum. However, on
December 28, 2012, MNTC issued a notice for early termination of the IRS transaction covering
the period December 15, 2012 up to December 15, 2015. The early termination fee was
recognized as interest expense amounting to =
P175.0 million in the 2012 consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
The proceeds from the =
P 7.0 Billion Fixed-rate Bonds due 2021 and 2024 issued by MNTC shall
be used primarily to partially fund the 5.65 km Segment 10 of the Manila-North Expressway
Project which will connect the MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela City to C-3 Road in Caloocan
City.
On January 9, 2014, MPTDC entered into Term Loan Facility Agreement with BDO for up to
P
=3,250 million loan due 2024 for the purpose of financing its acquisition of approximately 8.5%
of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of MNTC from EGIS Projects SA (Egis) and for
other corporate purposes.
Proceeds from the =
P6.2 Billion Series A Notes were used for the partial and full prepayment of
certain outstanding debt of MNTC.
The Series 2010-1 Dollar-denominated Notes and =
P6.1 Billion Loan with BDO-RCBC resulted
from the consolidation of CIC effective January 2013 (see Note 4). On December 26, 2013, CIC
availed a =
P6.1 Billion Loan with BDO-RCBC, the proceeds of which was used primarily to
refinance CICs existing loan (which included the long-term debt assumed upon by the
Companys acquisition of CIC) and other obligations, repayment of the advances owed to MPTC,
refinancing certain short-term loan obligations of the borrower to BDO and for general working
capital requirements of the borrower. The refinancing did not qualify as extinguishment of debt
and as such, the additional transaction costs were capitalized and a new effective interest rate was
computed. The prepayment option and interest rate floor were assessed to be clearly and closely
related to the host loan, thus not bifurcated. The Series 2010-1 Dollar-denominated Notes, which
was issued by CIC through a consolidated structured entity, stipulates certain Repurchase
Events which would require CIC to repurchase certain concession collections and contract rights
under CICs concession agreement, for a repurchase price. Repurchase Events included, among
others, failure to make payments due under the transaction documents, attachment of CICs assets
having a value in excess of US$5.0 million, and abandonment, or other than during the
continuance of an event that constitutes force majeure under CICs Toll Operation Agreement.
The Series 2010-1 Dollar-denominated Notes is secured by future toll collections from
CAVITEX; pledge over transaction accounts and 40,000 preferred shares of CIC held by CHI.
CIC provided collateral security in connection with the =
P6.1 Billion loan with BDO-RCBC, which
included a mortgage on certain debt instruments, equity investments of CIC, voting shares in the
structured entity owned by the third party stockholders amounting to =
P0.2 million and assignment
of a reserve account amounting to =
P433.3 million. The agreement covering this loan generally
provides, among others, that for as long as the loans remain outstanding, CIC is subject to certain
negative covenants requiring prior approval of the creditors for specified corporate acts.
Covenants. The bonds and the loans contain, among others, covenants regarding the maintenance
of certain financial ratios such and maintenance of reserve account. As at December 31, 2014 and
2013, MPTDC, MNTC and CIC are in compliance with their respective debt covenants.

a. Contingent liability arising from probable claim from a third party at fair value of
P
=1,100.1 million was recognized in January 2013 in relation to the acquisition of CIC which
was accounted for under PFRS 3, Business Combination (see Note 4). The increase in the
contingent liability from December 31, 2013 to 2014 is attributable to accretion charge
resulting from the passage of time (see Note 26). An indemnification asset (included in
Other noncurrent assets) was recognized in relation to such probable claim (see Note 15).
b. Lease payable represents present value of future minimum lease payments relating to the lease
agreements entered into by EMHMC and CVHMC, which lease agreements qualify as
business combinations. The lease payable was initially determined at acquisition date and
subsequently adjusted for payments and accretion (see Notes 3 and 33). Current portion of the
lease payable is included in the Accounts payable and other current liabilities (see Note 16).
Total lease payable has nominal value of P
=2,390.0 million and =
P2,522.0 million as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
c. Customers guaranty deposits serve to guarantee payment of bills by customers. These
deposits are non-interest bearing and normally refunded upon termination of water service
connection and are initially measured at fair value. After initial recognition, these deposits are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The
discount is amortized over the remaining concession period using the effective interest rate
method (see Note 26).
d. In connection with Maynilads disputes with MWSS over certain charges billed by MWSS
relating to (a) the basis of the computation of interest; (b) MWSS cost of borrowings; and
(c) additional penalties, and as further discussed in Note 32, Maynilad has accrued interest on
its payable to MWSS accumulating to P
=985.3 million as at December 31, 2011, which was
disputed by Maynilad before the Rehabilitation Court. In 2012, in line with Maynilads
negotiations and outstanding offer of US$14 million to fully settle the claim of MWSS,
Maynilad reduced the accrued interest payable to MWSS to =
P607.2 million as at
December 31, 2012. The reduction of P
=378.1 million in accrued interest payable and the
related contingent liability of P
=686.6 million was released to Other income (see Note 27) in
the 2012 consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
*SGVFS008665*
- 88 e. Deferred credits represent the net effect of unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss on service
concession payable to MWSS, and restatement of foreign currency-denominated interest
bearing loans and related interest. Deferred credits are calculated as the difference between
the drawdown or rebased rate versus the closing rate. In 2013, Maynilad realized foreign
exchange gain amounting to =
P1.0 billion arising from the refinancing of dollar-denominated
Corporate Notes which resulted in a significant FCDA refund to the customers. This foreign
exchange gain was fully refunded as at June 30, 2014.
f.

(see Note 22).
Transactions with TMC. The Operation & Maintenance (O&M) of the NLEX and
Segment 7 is undertaken by TMC pursuant to the O&M Agreement between MNTC and
TMC. This agreement was signed on July 6, 2001 and shall be effective for the entire
concession period.
TMC oversees the day-to-day operations of the NLEX, including securing toll collection,
depositing of funds to MNTC's accounts, facilitating smooth and uninterrupted flow of traffic,
carrying out of routine maintenance, ensuring effective and safe responses to emergency
situations.
In exchange for performing its duties, TMC receives an O&M fee based on a base fee plus a
variable fee. The base fee is a fixed annual amount, payable in twelve (12) monthly
installments and is escalated on a quarterly basis. The variable fee is the amount assessed and
paid by MNTC to TMC for the cost of performing its services over and above the agreed base
traffic volume assumption. TMCs services have been expanded to include the O&M of the
NLEX Mindanao Avenue link as well as the Balagtas Interchange and the Bocaue Northbound
Exit.
*SGVFS008665*
- 89 On January 22, 2014, MNTC and TMC agreed on the following base fees effective

P
=7.8 million for Dau Interchange; and =
P36.9 million for Segment 8.1. All compensations
payable to TMC shall be escalated in accordance with the O&M Agreement with a new Base
Date of January 1, 2012.
On August 22, 2014, MNTC and TMC entered into another O&M side letter to amend the
Base Fee in view of the VAT inclusion in the revised O&M Base Fee, which should be VAT
exclusive, effective January 9, 2012.
Under the corporate guarantee agreement, TMC was required to pay annual guarantee fee to
MPTDC equivalent to 2.5% of the gross value of the corporate guarantee issued by MPTDC.
The guarantee was issued in favor of MNTC for the liability of TMC under the O&M. The
guarantee income is included as Construction revenue and other income in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income (see Note 27). Interest also accrues to the receivable
from TMC and the related financial guarantee obligation. In connection with the corporate
guarantee arrangement, MPTDC recognized a receivable from TMC equivalent to the
financial guarantee obligation calculated as the present value of the guaranteed portion of the
liability of TMC under the O&M. The receivable on financial guarantee obligation (included
as Due from related parties in the consolidated statement of financial position) and the
financial guarantee obligation amounted to nil and =
P64.8 million as at December 31, 2014 and
2013. The corporate guarantee agreement was terminated effective January 1, 2014.
MPTC and MPTDC perform management, operational and financial advisory services for

respectively. The LTIP fund will continue to accumulate until the LTIP target payout. The
investment portfolio of IMA is limited to the following: securities issued, directly or indirectly, or
guaranteed by the government; and time deposit and money market placements issued by any of
the top 10 banks in the Philippines. As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the balance of the LTIP
fund for the 2013-2015 LTIP program amounted to =
P344.9 million and P
=131.0 million,
respectively, and presented as Deposits for LTIP under Other noncurrent assets in the
consolidated financial statements (see Note 15).
Pension
Regulatory Environment. R.A. 7641 requires a minimum benefit of equivalent to one-half
months salary for every year of service, with six months or more of service considered as one
year. As the entities of the Company operate in the Philippines, they provide for either a defined
contribution retirement plan or a defined benefit plan that consider the minimum benefit guarantee
mandated under R.A. 7641.
Defined Contribution Retirement Plan. As at December 31, 2014, the retirement benefits of
employees of MPIC, MPTC, MPTDC and CVHMC are provided through a defined contribution
scheme. Each of these companies operates its own retirement plan. The retirement plan is a
contributory plan wherein the employer undertakes to contribute a predetermined amount to the
individual account of each employee and the employee gets whatever is standing to his credit,
upon separation, from the company. The retirement plans are being managed and administered by
these companies respective compensation committee. Each entity has an appointed trustee bank
which holds and invests the assets of the retirement fund in accordance with the provisions of the
retirement plan.
*SGVFS008665*
- 102 Contributions to the retirement plan are made based on the employees monthly basic salary which
is at 10.0%. Additionally, an employee has an option to make a personal contribution to the fund,
at an amount not exceeding 40.0% of his monthly salary. The employer then provides an
additional contribution to the fund which aims to match the employees contribution but only up to
a maximum of 5.0% of the employees monthly salary. Although the retirement plans of these
entities have a defined contribution format, MPIC, MPTC and MPTDC are covered under
R.A. 7641, which provides a defined benefit minimum guarantee for its qualified employees. The
defined minimum guarantee is equivalent to a certain percentage of the monthly salary payable to
an employee at normal retirement age with the required credited years of service based on the
provisions of R.A. 7641. Accordingly and as discussed in Note 2, MPIC, MPTC and MPTDC
account for the retirement obligation under the higher of defined benefit obligation relating to the
minimum guarantee and the obligation arising from the defined contribution plan. Disclosures
required for a defined benefit retirement plan apply to MPIC, MPTC and MPTDCs retirement
plans and are provided together with the defined benefit retirement plans of the other subsidiaries
of the Parent Company.
Each year, the compensation committee reviews compliance with R.A. 7641 to evaluate the level
of funding that would ensure that the expected future value of the defined benefit contribution plan
asset is sufficient to cover the future expected value of retirement benefits prescribed by
R.A. 7641.
Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. These plans provide for a lump sum benefit payments upon
retirement.
Maynilad, MNTC, RMCI, CLDH and AHI have funded noncontributory defined benefit
retirement plan covering all their eligible regular employees. The retirement benefit plans of AHI,
RMCI, Maynilad and MNTC are funded and managed as follows:
RMCIs retirement fund is being monitored by its Treasury Officer under the supervision of
the RMCIs Chief Financial Officer.
The plan assets of AHI, Maynilad and MNTC are maintained in trust accounts with local
banks.
While there are no minimum funding standards in the Philippines, the companies annually engage
the services of an actuary to conduct a valuation study to determine the retirement obligations and
the level of funding to ensure that the assets currently in the fund would be sufficient to cover
expected benefit payments.
As at December 31, 2014, CIC, EMHMC and DLSMC each has an unfunded, noncontributory
defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all of their respective employees. While
there are no minimum funding standards in the Philippines, these entities also annually engage the
services of an actuary to conduct a valuation study to determine the retirement obligations and
ensure that should there be maturing obligations in the immediately succeeding periods, these are
appropriately considered in the budgeting process.

In line with its strategic goal to improve operational efficiency, Maynilad offered a Special
Opportunity Program (SOP), a redundancy and right-sizing program in 2014. This program
offered a separation package based on the number of years, or fractions thereof, on a pro-rated
basis, of service with Maynilad plus monetary equivalent of some benefits. Total severance for
the separated employees amounted to P

The plan assets carrying amount approximates its fair value since these are short-term in nature or
marked-to-market. Plan assets consist of the following:
Philippine bonds and treasury notes. Consist of government issued securities and corporate
bonds and subordinated notes. Government securities consist primarily of fixed-rate treasury
notes and retail treasury bonds that bear interest ranging from 2.3% to 9.4% (2014) and 3.5%
to 9.4% (2013) and have varying maturities of up to 2037 as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
*SGVFS008665*
- 105
Receivables and others assets. Include a seven year certificate of deposit with interest of
5.25% and certain unsecured fixed-rate notes of a related party and unsecured notes of an
unaffiliated company with interests ranging from 6.3% to 6.7%.
While the Company does not perform any Asset-Liability Matching Study, the risks arising from
the nature of the assets comprising the fund are mitigated as follows:
Credit Risks. Exposure to credit risk arises from financial assets comprising of cash and cash
equivalents, investments and receivable. The credit risk results from the possible default of
the issuer of the financial instrument, with a maximum exposure equivalent to the carrying
amount of the instruments. The risk is minimized by ensuring that the exposure is limited
only to the instruments as recommended by the trust managers.
Share Price Risk. Exposure arises from holdings of shares of stock being traded at the PSE.
The price risk emanates from the volatility of the stock market. Policy is to limit investments
in shares of stock to blue chip issues or issues with good fair values.
Liquidity Risk. This risk relates to the risk that the fund is unable to meet its payment
obligations associated with its retirement liability when they fall due. To mitigate this risk,
the entities contribute to their respective fund from time to time, based on the
recommendations of their actuaries with the objective of maintaining their respective fund in a
sound condition.
Actuarial assumptions. Principal assumptions used as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 in
determining retirement obligations are shown below:
2013
2014
(In Percentage)
4.09 to 5.19
3.00 to 10.00
3.78 to 6.38
3.00 to 10.00
The discount rate represents the range of single weighted average discount rate used by each of the
entities within the group in arriving at the present value of defined benefit obligation, service and
interest cost components of the retirement cost. Assumptions regarding future mortality rate are
based on the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table developed by the U.S. Society of Actuaries,
which provides separate rates for males and females.
Sensitivity Analysis. The calculation of the defined benefit obligation is sensitive to the
assumptions set above. The following table summarizes how the present value of defined benefit
obligation as at December 31 would have increased (decreased) as a result of change in the
respective assumptions by:

allowed both individual and corporate tax payers to use OSD in computing their taxable
income. For corporations, they may elect a standard deduction in an amount equivalent to 40%
of gross income, as provided by law, in lieu of the itemized allowed deductions. MNTC opted
to avail of the OSD for the taxable years 2013 and 2014.

of shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted by the number of shares issued during
the year, with a time-weighting factor. The time-weighting factor is the number of days that the
common shares are outstanding as a proportion to the total number of days in the year.

32. Contingencies
Water Segment
The following are the significant contingent liabilities of Maynilad as at December 31, 2014 and
2013:
Disputed Billings with MWSS. Additional Tranche B Concession Fees and interest penalty are
being claimed by MWSS in excess of the amount recommended by the Receiver. Such additional
charges being claimed by MWSS (in addition to other miscellaneous claims) amounted to
P
=5.0 billion and P
=4.9 billion as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Rehabilitation
Court has resolved to deny and disallow the said disputed claims of MWSS in its
December 19, 2007 Order, upholding the recommendations of the Receiver on the matter.
Following the termination of the Maynilads rehabilitation proceedings, Maynilad and MWSS
sought to resolve this matter in accordance with the dispute resolution requirements of the TCA
(see Notes 3 and 20).
Real Property Taxes Assessment. On October 13, 2005, Maynilad and Manila Water Company,
Inc. (the Concessionaires) were jointly assessed by the Municipality of Norzagaray, Bulacan for
real property taxes on certain common purpose facilities purportedly due from 1998 to 2005
amounting to =
P357.1 million. It is the position of the Concessionaires that these properties are
owned by the ROP and therefore, exempt from taxation.
The supposed joint liability of the Concessionaires for real property tax, including interests, as at
December 31, 2014 amounted to P
=1.0 billion.
After the Local Board of Assessment Appeals (LBAA) ruled in favor of the Municipality of
Norzagaray, Bulacan, the Concessionaires elevated the ruling of the LBAA to the Central Board
of Assessment Appeals (CBAA) by filing separate appeals. As at February 26, 2015, the case is
still pending.
Cost of Living Allowance (COLA). On November 24, 2006, the Labor Arbiter issued a decision in
favor of the Maynilad Water Supervisors Association (MWSA), ordering the payment of COLA to
Maynilads supervisor-employees, retroactive to the date when they were hired by Maynilad in
1997, with legal interest from the date of promulgation of the decision until full payment of the
award or P
=249.5 million as computed and claimed by MWSA. This decision was reversed and set
aside by the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) in 2007, but reinstated by the Court of
Appeals in 2010. After the issuance of the Labor Arbiters decision in 2007, Maynilad executed a
compromise agreement with MWSA, wherein Maynilad agreed to pay MWSA residual benefits
equivalent to its claim for COLA for 23 months, from August 1997 to June 1999. Thus
Maynilads dispute with MWSA was limited to the supervisor-employees claim for COLA from
July 1999 up to the present time. In 2011, the Court of Appeals granted the motion for
reconsideration filed by Maynilad by issuing an amended decision reinstating and affirming the
resolutions of the NLRC. The Court of Appeals thereafter issued a resolution denying the motion
for reconsideration filed by MWSA. On November 16, 2011, MWSA filed a Petition for Review
on Certiorari before the Supreme Court, seeking to annul the said amended decision and the
resolution of the Court of Appeals.
*SGVFS008665*
- 116 On December 11, 2013, Notice of Judgment was issued by the Supreme Court which upheld the
assailed Amended Decision and Resolution of the Court of Appeals which held that the employees
of Maynilad are not entitled to receive COLA pursuant to the terms of Maynilads concession
agreement.
On February 26, 2014, the Second Division issued a resolution (1) denying with finality MWSAs
motion for reconsideration and (2) denying MWSAs motion to refer the case to the Court En
Banc. In its Decision, the Supreme Court upheld the assailed Amended Decision and Resolution
of the Court of Appeals that reinstated the earlier ruling of the NLRC that held that the employees
of Maynilad are not entitled to receive COLA pursuant to the terms of the Concession Agreement.
Others. Maynilad is a party to various civil and labor cases relating to breach of contracts with
damages, illegal dismissal of employees, and nonpayment of backwages, benefits and
performance bonus, among others.
Toll Operations Segment
Value-Added Tax (VAT). In view of RMC 39-2011, MNTC started imposing VAT on toll fees
from motorists and correspondingly started recognizing VAT liability on October 1, 2011.
Through all the years that the issues of VAT are being discussed, MNTC received the following
VAT assessments:
MNTC received a Formal Letter of Demand from the BIR on March 16, 2009 requesting
MNTC to pay deficiency VAT plus penalties amounting to P
=1,010.5 million for taxable year
2006.
MNTC received a Final Assessment Notice from the BIR dated November 15, 2009, assessing
MNTC for deficiency VAT plus penalties amounting to P
=557.6 million for taxable year 2007.
MNTC received a Notice of Informal Assessment from the BIR dated October 5, 2009,
assessing MNTC for deficiency VAT plus penalties amounting to =
P470.9 million for taxable
year 2008.
On May 21, 2010, the BIR issued a Notice of Informal Conference assessing MNTC for
deficiency VAT plus penalties amounting to =
P1.0 billion for taxable year 2009.
On April 3, 2014, the BIR accepted and approved the Companys application for abatement and
issued a Certificate of Approval for the cancellation of the basic output tax, interest and
compromise penalty amounting to =
P1,010.5 million and P
=584.6 million for taxable years 2006 and
2007, respectively.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, management believes, in consultation with its legal counsel, that in
any event, the Supplemental Toll Operation Agreement among MNTC, Republic of the Philippines,
acting by and through the Toll Regulatory Board, and PNCC, provides MNTC with legal recourse in
order to protect its lawful interests in case there is a change in existing laws, which makes the
performance by MNTC of its obligations materially more expensive.
*SGVFS008665*
- 117 Local Business Tax (LBT). On July 7, 2011, the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Bulacan ruled that
MNTC is liable for =
P67.4 million in local business taxes and permits and regulatory fees. In 2012,
the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) modified the RTC of Malolos, Bulacans decision and cancelled
and set aside for lack of basis the notice of assessment dated 2008 issued against MNTC for
P
=67.4 million LBT for the years 2005 to 2007. The municipality of Guiguinto subsequently filed
with the CTA a motion for reconsideration. The CTA, in a resolution dated April 25, 2013, denied
the motion for reconsideration filed by the municipality of Guiguinto. The decision and resolution
of the CTA have not been appealed and have thus become final, inappealable, and executory.
On September 3, 2013, an agreement was signed between MNTC and the Municipality of
Guiguinto to finally reconcile past collections and settle any remaining obligations to keep
MNTCs accounts with Guiguinto current. The parties agreed that (a) all of MNTCs previous
payments of P10.0 million should be deemed advance payments for any liability for LBT and
regulatory fees; and (b) MNTC shall pay P8.0 million to cover remaining LBT and regulatory fees
up to the fourth quarter of 2013. The parties agreed that the payments made or to be made under
this agreement shall constitute full and sufficient payment by MNTC of any and all liability for
LBT, regulatory fees, surcharges, interests, and penalties for the years 2004 to 2013 to Guiguinto,
and MNTC is therefore released, free, and clear from any and all such liabilities for the stated
period.
Real Property Tax (RPT). MNTC has filed several Petitions for Review under Section 226 of the
Local Government Code with the Local Board of Assessment Appeals (LBAA) of the Province
of Bulacan on July 15, 2008 and April 16, 2013, seeking to declare as null and void certain tax
assessments and tax declarations issued by the Provincial Assessor of the Province of Bulacan.
The said tax declarations were issued in the name of MNTC as owner of the North Luzon
Expressway and categorizing the North Luzon Expressway as a commercial property, subject to
real property tax. As at September 18, 2013, the total amount of tax assessed by the Province of
Bulacan against MNTC was P
=304.9 million. The LBAA has yet to determine whether said
properties in fact covers portions of the NLEX, which MNTC argues are part of the public domain
and exempt from real property tax.
On September 27, 2013, the Bureau of Local Government Finance of the Department of Finance
(DOF-BLGF) wrote a letter to the Province of Bulacan advising it to hold in abeyance any
further course of action pertaining to the alleged real property tax delinquency.
On October 4, 2013, the Provincial Treasurer of Bulacan has respected the directive from the
DOF-BLGF to hold the enforcement of any collection remedies in abeyance.
The outcome of the claims on RPT cannot be presently determined. The management of MNTC
believes that these claims will not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements and believes that the STOA also provides MNTC with legal recourse in order
to protect its lawful interests in case there is a change in existing laws which makes the
performance by MNTC of its obligations materially more expensive.
Others. The companies in the toll operations segment are also parties to other cases and claims
arising from the ordinary course of business filed by third parties, which are either pending
decisions by the courts or are subject to settlement agreements. The outcome of these claims
cannot be presently determined. In the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the eventual
liability from these lawsuits or claims, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

*SGVFS008665*
- 119 In the meantime, on January 30, 2014, Meralco filed an Omnibus Motion with Manifestation with
the ERC for the latter to direct PEMC to conduct a re-run or re-calculation of the WESM prices
for the supply months of November to December 2013. Subsequently, on February 17, 2014,
Meralco filed with the ERC an Application for the recovery of deferred generation costs for the
December 2013 supply month praying that it be allowed to recover the same over a six (6)-month
period.
On March 3, 2014, the ERC issued an Order voiding the Luzon WESM prices during the
November and December 2013 supply months on the basis of the preliminary findings of its
Investigating Unit that these are not reasonable, rational and competitive and imposing the use of
regulated rates for the said period. PEMC was given seven (7) days upon receipt of the Order to
calculate these regulated prices and implement the same in the revised WESM bills of the
concerned. PEMCs recalculated power bills for the supply month of December 2013 resulted in a
net reduction of the December 2013 supply month bill of the WESM by P
=9,274 million. Due to
the pendency of the TRO, no adjustment was made to the WESM bill of Meralco for the
November 2013 supply month. The timing of amounts to be credited to Meralco is dependent on
the reimbursement of PEMC from associated generator companies. However, several generating
companies, including MPPCL, SN Aboitiz Power Corporation, Team (Philippines) Energy
Corporation, Panasia Energy Holdings, Inc., and SMEC, have filed motions for reconsideration
questioning the Order dated March 3, 2014. Meralco filed a consolidated comment to these
motions for reconsideration.
In view of the pendency of the various submissions before the ERC and mindful of the
complexities in the implementation of ERCs Order dated March 3, 2014, the ERC directed
PEMC to provide the market participants an additional period of 45 days to comply with the
settlement of their respective adjusted WESM bills. In an Order dated May 9, 2014, the parties
were then given an additional non-extendible period of 30 days from receipt of the Order within
which to settle their WESM bills. However, in an Order dated June 6, 2014 and acting on an
intervention filed by Angeles Electric Corporation, the ERC deemed it appropriate to hold in
abeyance the settlement of PEMCs adjusted WESM bills by the market participants.
In its Order dated October 15, 2014, the ERC issued an Order denying the motion filed by the
generating companies. The generator companies have filed separate petitions before the CA to
question the March 3, 2014 and October 15, 2014 Orders of the ERC.
On April 22, 2014, the SC extended indefinitely the TRO issued on December 23, 2013 and
February 18, 2014 and directed generating companies not to collect from Meralco. The SC has
yet to resolve the various petitions filed against Meralco, ERC and DOE as at February 26, 2015.
Others
Donors Tax. NOHI received on January 14, 2011 a Final Assessment Notice (FAN) demanding
the payment of approximately P
=199.7 million as deficiency donors tax (including surcharge and
interest as at January 31, 2011) on the excess of the book value over the selling price of several
shares of stock in BLC which NOHI sold to a third party. The assessment was based on the
finding of the Bureau of Internal Revenue-Large Taxpayer Service (BIR-LTS) that the transaction
is subject to donors tax as a deemed gift transaction under Section 100 of the 1997 National
Internal Revenue Tax Code (the Tax Code).
On February 14, 2011, NOHI filed its formal protest to the FAN raising several factual and legal
arguments. However, this was denied by the BIR through the letter it has delivered to NOHI
stating its Final Decision on Disputed Assessment (FDDA). NOHI then filed a Petition for
Review with the Second Division of the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) to challenge the FDDA.
On June 11, 2014, the CTA rendered its decision on the case which did not sustain the companys
*SGVFS008665*
- 120 position. The company filed a Motion for Reconsideration on the CTA 2nd Divisions decision as
NOHI firmly believes that it is not liable for the deficiency donors taxes and that it has strong
legal and factual basis to support its claim. On September 16, 2014, the CTA 2nd Division issued
an Order denying NOHIs Motion for Reconsideration. In October 2014, NOHI, through its
counsel, filed a Petition for Review before the CTA en banc praying for, among others, the
reversal of the decision of the CTA 2nd Division. In January 2015, the CTA en banc gave due
course to the Petion for Review and directed the parties to submit their memoranda. As of
February 26, 2015, NOHI through its counsel is preparing the memorandum for submission to the
CTA.
NOHI firmly believes that it is not liable for the deficiency donors taxes and that it has strong
legal and factual basis to question the FDDA in its appeal with the CTA.
Indemnity. Under the agreement relating to the repayment of a certain loan signed between NOHI,
Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and Greenfield Development Corp. (GDC) on April 17, 2003, certain
obligations/warranties by NOHI will remain outstanding for certain periods ranging from one to
three years and covered by security arrangements. Under the agreement, NOHI shall indemnify
ALI and GDC to the extent of NOHIs derivative share in BLC/ Fort Bonifacio Development
Corporation (FBDC) for certain secured indemnity obligations and other obligations resulting
from any breach of warranties and representations.
ALI and GDC have formally advised NOHI in their letter dated September 19, 2003 that they are
allocating the pledge of 5.0% interest of NOHI in BLC and a condominium unit in Pacific Plaza
Tower for possible payment of secured indemnity obligations enumerated in their letter. Total
estimated indemnity amounts to =
P434.1 million, determined based on certain possible taxes that
were actually claimed by ALI and GDC within the warranty period, which expired on
April 17, 2007. However, subject to actual payment of pending taxes included in the warranties,
the provision has remained in the books.
In September 2009, NOHI sold 2,603,708 shares out of the 5% interest in BLC pledged to
Columbus Holdings, Inc. (Columbus), a company jointly owned by ALI and GDC, at an agreed
purchase price of P
=158.0 per share for a total consideration of =
P411.4 million. No gain was
recognized on the sale pending Supreme Court judgment on the ongoing documentary stamp tax
claim against FBDC in which case and in the event of an unfavorable judgment against FBDC, the
total proceeds from the sale will be returned to Columbus. Consequently, NOHI recognized an
additional provision amounting to P
=54.8 million in 2009 for liability equivalent to the unrealized
gain. Thus, total liability amounted to P
=488.9 million (see Note 17).
On June 26, 2013, NOHI was informed that the Supreme Court rendered judgment in favor of
FBDC. As at February 26, 2015, NOHI is awaiting release from the guarantee undertaking from
Columbus to reverse the provision.
In the opinion of management and NOHIs legal counsel, the eventual liability from these lawsuits
or claims, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on NOHIs financial position and
financial performance, as well as in MPICs consolidated financial statements.
Other disclosures required by PAS 37 were not provided as it may prejudice the Companys
position in ongoing claims, litigations and assessments.

Within 30 days from the commencement of each renewal date, Maynilad shall cause the
performance bond to be reinstated to the full amount set forth above applicable for the year.
In connection with the extension of the term of Maynilads Concession Agreement
(see Note 13), certain adjustments to the obligation of Maynilad to post the performance bond
under Section 6.9 of the Concession Agreement have been approved and summarized as
follows:
The aggregate amount drawable in one or more installments under each performance bond
during the Rate Rebasing Period to which it relates has been adjusted to US$30.0 million
until the Expiration Date;
The amount of the Performance Bond for the period covering 2023 to 2037 shall be
mutually agreed upon in writing by the MWSS and Maynilad consistent with the
provisions of the Concession Agreement.
Maynilad posted the Surety Bond for the amount of US$90.0 million issued by Prudential
Guarantee and Assurance, Inc. (the Surety) in favor of MWSS, as security for Maynilads
proper and timely performance of its obligations under the Concession Agreement. On
December 6, 2012, Maynilad renewed the Surety Bond for the amount of US$80.0 million
issued by the Surety in favor of MWSS. The liability of the Surety under this bond will
expire on December 31, 2017.
c. Payment of half of MWSS and MWSS-ROs budgeted expenditures for the subsequent years,
provided the aggregate annual budgeted expenditures do not exceed P
=200.0 million, subject to
CPI adjustments. Beginning 2010, the annual budgeted expenditures shall increase by
100.0%, subject to CPI adjustments, as a result of the extension of the life of the Maynilads
concession agreement.
d. To meet certain specific commitments in respect to the provision of water and sewerage
services in the West Service Area, unless modified by the MWSS-RO due to unforeseen
circumstances.
*SGVFS008665*
To repair and correct, on a priority basis, any defect in the facilities that could adversely affect
public health or welfare, or cause damage to persons or third-party property.
g. To ensure that at all times Maynilad has sufficient financial, material and personnel resources
available to meet its obligations under the Concession Agreement.
h. Non-incurrence of debt or liability that would mature beyond the term of the Concession
Agreement, without the prior notice of MWSS.
Failure of Maynilad to perform any of its obligations under the Concession Agreement of a
kind or to a degree which, in a reasonable opinion of the MWSS-RO, amounts to an effective
abandonment of the Concession Agreement and which failure continues for at least 30 days
after written notice from the MWSS-RO, may cause the Concession Agreement terminated.
Operating Lease Commitment. Maynilad leases the office space, branches where service outlets
are located, equipment and service vehicles, renewable under certain terms and conditions to be
agreed upon by the parties. Total rent expense for the above operating leases amounted to
P
=167.7 million, P
=158.9 million and =
P175.2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Operation and Maintenance Agreement with Rio Verde Water Consortium, Inc (RVWCI). On
December 22, 2014, MPWIC entered into an agreement to operate and maintain the 100 mld bulk
water facility of RVWCI located in Baungon, Bukidnon. The agreement will be implemented
through a subsidiary to be incorporated by MPWIC, which as of February 26, 2015 has yet to be
incorporated. RVWCI is the exclusive supplier of bulk surface water to Cagayan de Oro Water
District which supplies the water needs of more than 80% of Cagayan de Oro's population of
640,000.
Toll Operations Segment
NLEX Concession Agreement. Obligations and commitments of MNTC under the NLEX
Concession Agreement are discussed in Notes 13 and 17.
Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) Concession Agreement. On February 9, 2015, MNTC,
received the Notice of Award from the BCDA for the management, operation and maintenance of
the SCTEX subject to compliance with specific conditions. The Notice of Award was issued by
BCDA following the results of the Price Challenge held last January 30, 2015.
On February 26, 2015, MNTC and BCDA signed the Business Agreement (BA), marking the
culmination of BCDAs effort to privatize the management, operation and maintenance of the
SCTEX. The BA binds MNTC and BCDA to a contract for the management, operation and
maintenance of SCTEX until the end of the SCTEX concession period (October 30, 2043). The
*SGVFS008665*
- 124 privatization provides the opportunity to realize MNTCs vision of integrating the operation of NLEX
with SCTEX, thereby offering seamless expressway travel to motorists. The effectivity of the BA is
subject to conditions precedent, among which is the TRB approval and signing of the STOA. On
February 26, 2015, the Business Operating Agreement was signed with full take over of the SCTEX
operation expected by second quarter of 2015.
On February 5, 2015, MNTC and BCDA signed the NLEX-SCTEX Integration Agreement
relating to the toll collection system integration that will feature a common transit ticket system
for both NLEXs closed system and that of the SCTEX. The project is expected to be completed
within the year.NLEX-SLEX Connector Road Project. The Connector Road Project was approved
by the NEDA Board on February 20, 2015 as an unsolicited proposal under the BOT Law. This is
expected to trigger the commencement of the Swiss Challenge within 2nd quarter of 2015.
MPTDC, as Original Proponent of the unsolicited proposal, awaits DPWHs written notice of the
NEDA Board approval.
Construction Contract for NLEX Segment 9. On May 3, 2013, MNTC, under a competitive
bidding, has awarded the Civil Works contract to EEI Corporation. The Civil Works Construction
Agreement was executed by MNTC and EEI Construction in relation to the construction of the
2.4 km Segment 9 (part of Phase II of NLEX), a four-lane expressway that links the SMART
Connect Interchange to McArthur Highway. Total civil works construction contract was set at
P
=1,145.4 million, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
The Construction Notice to Proceed was issued by MNTC to EEI Corporation in May 2013 and
mobilization works commenced in May 2013. The construction works are expected to be
completed by first quarter of 2015.
Unapplied mobilization advances to EEI Corporation, included as part of Advances to contractors
and consultants in the consolidated statement of financial position, amounted to P
=71.0 million
and P
=140.0 million as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Construction Contract for NLEX Segment 10. On April 28, 2014, MNTC signed a target cost
construction contract with Leighton Contractors (Asia) Ltd. (LCAL) for the construction of NLEX
Segment 10, a 5.6-km, four-lane elevated expressway that will start from the terminal of Segment 9 in
Valenzuela City and go south to C-3 Road in Caloocan City above the alignment of the PNR railway
tracks. The target cost is approximately =
P10 billion (inclusive of VAT) with a completion period of
twenty-four (24) months from start date. The contract structure is collaborative in nature and provides
a risk and reward sharing mechanism if the actual construction cost exceeds or falls below the agreed
target. LCALs performance obligations under the contract are backed up by: (i) a bank-issued
irrevocable stand-by letter of credit, (ii) cash retention, and (iii) a parent company guarantee issued by
Leighton Asia Limited. Construction is in progress as of February 26, 2015 with target completion
date of fourth quarter of 2016.
On May 8, 2014, MNTC issued the notice to proceed to LCAL, signalling the start of preconstruction activities. Pursuant to the contract, MNTC placed a reserve amount of P
=889 million in
an escrow account on July 28, 2014 to cover payment default leading to suspension of works. This
reserve amount is included in the restricted cash account under noncurrent assets.
PNCC. PNCC is a non-controlling stockholder in MNTC. In consideration of the assignment by
PNCC of its usufructuary rights, interests and privileges under its franchise, PNCC is entitled to
receive a payment equivalent to 6.0% and 2.0% of the toll revenue from the NLEX and
Segment 7, respectively. Any unpaid balance carried forward will accrue interest at the rate of the
latest Philippine 91-day Treasury bill rate plus 1.0% per annum. The PNCC franchise expired in
May 2007 but since the payment is a continuing obligation under the Shareholders Agreement,
PNCC continues to receive the same payment. However, on December 2, 2010, MNTC received a
*SGVFS008665*
- 125 letter from the TRB dated November 30, 2010, citing a decision of the Supreme Court dated
October 19, 2010 directing MNTC to remit to the National Treasury, through TRB, all payments
representing PNCCs percentage share of the toll revenues and dividends, if any, arising out of
PNCCs participation in the NLEX Project.
On the basis of the conflicting claims of PNCC and TRB to the revenue share and dividends, on
December 8, 2010, MNTC filed a motion for clarification asking the SC to clarify the entity to
which MNTC should remit its payments which was then due on December 20, 2010. Pending
resolution by the SC of the motion for clarification, MNTC filed a petition for consignation with
the RTC of Caloocan for the latter to hold the payments in trust and deliver to the party ultimately
adjudged by the SC to be entitled to it. On December 29, 2010, MNTC through a letter sent by its
legal counsel, informed PNCC and TRB of the consignation made to the RTC of Caloocan.
In a resolution dated January 18, 2011, the SC directed MNTC to remit to the National Treasury
PNCCs percentage share of toll revenues and dividends arising out of PNCCs participation in the
NLEX Project. On April 12, 2011, the SC issued a Resolution directing MNTC to remit PNCCs
share in the net income from toll revenues to the National Treasury and the TRB, with the
assistance of the Commission on Audit (COA) was directed to prepare and finalize the
implementing rules and guideline relative to the determination of the net income remittable by
PNCC to the National Treasury. In the meantime, while the guidelines have yet to be formulated,
PNCC and TRB have agreed to remit the entire consigned amount to the National Treasury.
Following the directive of the TRB dated March 22, 2012, MNTC has remitted to the National
Government through the TRB the payments for the PNCC fees accruing since the month of
December 2010 and the dividends payable to PNCC since July 2010. In accordance with the TRB
directive, 90% of the PNCC fees and dividends payable was remitted to the TRB while the
balance of 10% to PNCC.
On September 19, 2011, Forum Holdings Corporation (FHC, an Intervenor) filed a Petition-inIntervention with the RTC of Caloocan praying that MNTC be ordered to comply with its
contractual commitment to PNCC under contract by releasing and delivering directly to PNCC the
consigned amount. The Intervenor, however, does not pray for any damages against MNTC.
PNCC has filed its opposition to the Motion for Intervention. On January 11, 2012, RTC of
Caloocan, despite the fact that the consigned amount at that time has already been remitted to the
National Treasury, granted FHCs petition filed on September 19, 2011. On September 6, 2013,
the RTC heard the case to decide on the prayer for dismissal requested by MNTC, TRB and
PNCC in their urgent joint manifestation and motion. During said hearing, the RTC found that the
petition for consignation was already rendered moot and academic since the consigned amount
was already remitted to the National Government and FHC already withdrew its intervention.
Since there was no more pending incident for resolution, the RTC ordered the case dismissed.

Rail Segment
=
P 65-billion Light Rail Transit Line 1 Cavite Extension and Operations & Maintenance Project
(the LRT Project). On October 2, 2014, LRMC signed together with the Department of
Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA, and
together with DOTC as Grantors) the Concession Agreement for the LRT Project. LRMC was
formally awarded the LRT Project by the DOTC and LRTA after the consortium of MPLRC, AC
Infrastructure Holdings Corporation (AC Infra) and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings
(Philippines) PTE Ltd. (MIHPL) submitted the lone bid with a premium of =
P9.35 billion.
The concession agreement is for a period of thirty-two (32) years commencing from the Effective
Date. The Required Effective Date means the date falling twelve (12) months after the signing
date of or as extended in accordance with the concession agreement. The handover of the
operation and maintenance of the existing system of the LRT by the Grantors to LRMC shall take
place on the Effective Date or such other time as may be agreed in writing between the Grantors
and the Concessionaire. The Effective Date is subject to certain conditions precedent under the
concession agreement.
Under the Concession Agreement, LRMC will operate and maintain the existing LRT Line 1 and
construct an 11.7-km extension from the present end-point at Baclaran to the Niog area in Bacoor,
Cavite. A total of eight new stations will be built along this route, which traverses the cities of
Paraaque and Las Pias up to Bacoor, Cavite. LRMC will invest P
=40.0 billion on the Project.
The extended rail line is envisioned to help ease the worsening traffic conditions in the ParaaqueLas Pias-Cavite corridor. It is also expected to enhance commercial development around the rail
stations.
LRMC is required to pay the bid premium of P
=9.35 billion as concession fees, based on the
following schedule:
10% of the bid amount within twenty (20) days from receipt of the Notice of Award (NOA),
which amount has already been paid;
10% of the bid amount upon Effective Date which is nine (9) months to a maximum of twelve
(12) months from Signing Date of the Concession Agreement;
80% of the bid amount in equal quarterly instalments over the Concession Period with the first
payment on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date as defined under the Concession
Agreement.

Agreement, DOTC, LRTA, LRMC, the initial shareholders of LRMC (namely AC Infra, MPLRC
and MIHPL) and Security Bank as Escrow Agent entered into a Share Escrow Agreement.
Under the Share Escrow Agreement, each of the initial shareholders delivers to the Share Escrow
Agent original stock certificates representing all of their respective equity interests in the
Concessionaire. Such shares would be held in escrow until the third anniversary of the Extension
Completion Date as defined under the Concession Agreement.
*SGVFS008665*
- 129 The Company also enters into derivative transactions, particularly interest rate swaps and crosscurrency swaps, to manage the interest rate and foreign currency risks arising from its long-term
debts (see Note 36).
The main risks arising from the Companys financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk,
interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk. The BOD reviews and approves policies of managing
each of these risks and they are summarized below.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss arising from customers, clients or
counterparties that fail to discharge their contracted obligations. The Company manages and
controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk that the Company is willing to accept
for individual counterparties and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits.
MPIC. MPICs exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of its financial assets.
MPIC has no concentration of credit risk.
Toll segment. Receivables arose mainly from Easytrip Services Corporation (ESC) when Easytrip
tag-motorists ply in NLEX and those non-toll revenues in the form of advertising services
particularly from SMART. ESC, a joint venture of the Company beginning 2014 (see Note 11),
assists MNTC in increasing the usage of the electronic toll collection (ETC) facility. The
segments due from related parties are mainly from TMC. ESC, SMART and TMC are
considered as low-risk counterparties as these are well-established companies. Moreover, MNTC
has payment obligations to TMC which far exceed the aggregate amount of receivables and dues
from TMC. Receivables also arose from motorists who cause accidental damage to NLEX
property from day-to-day operations. Property damage claims are initially processed by TMC and
are eventually turned over to MNTC. MNTC also has advances made to DPWH, a Philippine
government entity, which is covered by a Reimbursement Agreement.
MNTC also generates non-toll revenues in the form of service fees collected from business
locators, generally called TSF (toll service facilities), along the stretch of the NLEX. The
collection of such fees is provided in the STOA and is based on the principle that these TSF derive
benefit from offering goods and services to NLEX motorists. The fees range from one-time
access fees to recurring fees calculated as a percentage of sales. The arrangements are backed by a
service facility contract between MNTC and the various locators. The credit risk on these
arrangements is minimal because the fees are collected on a monthly basis mostly from wellestablished companies. The exposure is also limited given that the recurring amounts are not
significant and there are adequate safeguards in the contract against payment delinquency.
Nevertheless, MNTC closely monitors receivables from the TSF.
This segments exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum
exposure equal to carrying amount of these financial assets. The Company does not require any
collateral for its financial assets.
Water segment. Because of the basic need service that Maynilad provides, historical collections of
Maynilad are relatively high, thus, credit risk exposure is widely dispersed. Maynilad billings are
payable on the due date, which is normally 14 days from the billing date. However, customers are
given 60 days to settle any unpaid bills before disconnection. Receivable balances are monitored
on an ongoing basis with the result that the Companys exposure to bad debts is not significant.
*SGVFS008665*
- 130 Healthcare segment. The hospitals of the Company manages risk by setting credit limits for all
customers and by monitoring credit exposures and the creditworthiness of counterparties. Credit
limits are set and a regular review of these limits is being done by management. Credit is
extended only to reputable entities such as HMO and insurance companies.
MPIC Group. The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company
without considering the effects of collaterals, credit enhancements and other credit risk mitigation
techniques and the net maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company considering the effects of
collaterals, credit enhancements and other credit risk mitigation techniques.
The credit enhancement relating to cash and cash equivalents pertains to insured deposits in banks
as prescribed by Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation. The collateral covering certain
receivables represents first-ranking pledge of Landco common shares in favor of the Company.
For due from related parties, credit enhancement represents payable to the same counterparty that
the Company will not pay until collection of the receivables.

- 135 Cash and cash equivalents and sinking fund are classified as high grade since these are placed with
reputable local and international banks, which meet the standards set by the Companys Board.
For the Companys other financial assets, high-grade relate to those financial assets which are
consistently collected before the maturity date. In addition, these are financial assets from
counterparties that also have corresponding collectibles from the Company for certain contracted
services. The first layer of security comes from the Companys ability to offset amounts
receivable from those counterparties against payments due to them. Standard grade include
financial assets that are collected on their due dates even without an effort from the Company to
follow them up. Sub-standard grade relates to financial assets that are collected on their due dates
provided that the Company made a persistent effort to collect them.
Liquidity Risk
MPIC Group. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting
obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Companys objective is to maintain a balance
between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans and facilities.
The Company monitors its cash position using a cash forecasting system. All expected
collections, check disbursements and other cash payments are determined daily to arrive at the
projected cash position to cover its obligations and to ensure that obligations are met as they fall
due. The Company monitors its cash flow position, particularly the collections from receivables,
receipts of dividends and the funding requirements of operations, to ensure an adequate balance of
inflows and outflows. The Company also has online facilities with its depository banks wherein
bank balances are monitored daily to determine the Companys actual cash balances at any time.
The Companys liquidity and funding management process include the following:
Liquidity risk concentrations arise when a number of economic features would cause the
Companys ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in
economic, political or other conditions. The Company has a total cash and cash equivalents and
short-term deposits, amounting to =
P25,758.3 million and =
P15,263.3 million as at December 31,
2014 and 2013, respectively, that are allocated to meet the Companys short-term liquidity needs.

- 137 Tollway segment. The debt of the entities in this group are significantly fixed-rate loans,
effectively locking in the interest rate in order to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
With 100.0% of the financial instruments in local currency loans, around 21.0% of which is in
floating interest rate, exposure is now limited to changes in six-month PDST-F.
Water segment. Maynilads exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its interest-bearing
loans. Maynilad maintains a mix of floating and fixed rate loans, currently at a ratio of 3%
floating and 97% fixed. The floating rate interest-bearing loans will increase to a higher portion
over time because of future drawdowns in connection to the MWMP loan agreement.
MPIC Group. The following tables set out the carrying amount, classified by maturity, of the
Companys interest-bearing financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to interest rate
risk. Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced either semi-annually or
quarterly on each interest payment date. Interest on financial instruments classified as fixed rate is
fixed until the maturity of the instrument with an exception for the certain borrowings which are
subject to repricing as discussed above. The other financial instruments of the Company that are
not included in the table below are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest
rate risk.

changes in interest cash flows of floating rate loans and fair values of AFS financial assets,
respectively, due to changes in Philippine Peso and US Dollar interest rates with all other
variables held constant. The estimates in the movement of interest rates were based on the
managements annual financial forecast. There is no other impact on equity other than those
already affecting the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Capital Management
Capital includes preferred shares and equity attributable to the equity holders of the Parent
Company. The primary objective of the Companys capital management policies is to ensure that
the Company maintains a strong statement of financial position and healthy capital ratios in order
to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Company ensures that it is compliant
with all debt covenants not only at the consolidated level but also at the level of Parent Company
and each of its subsidiaries.
In general, the Company closely monitors its debt covenants and maintains a capital expenditure
program and dividend declaration policy that keeps the compliance of these covenants into
consideration.
The following debt covenants are being complied with by the Company as part of maintaining a
strong credit rating with its creditors:
MPIC. MPICs loan agreement provides that MPIC shall ensure during the term of the loan that
its debt-to-equity ratio does not exceed 70:30, and its debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is at a
minimum of 1.3x. To be able to declare dividends, MPIC shall achieve a DSCR of 1.5x. As at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, MPIC is in compliance with the required financial ratios and other
loan covenants.
Tollways Segment. Under the loan agreements, MNTC is required a Maintenance Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (DSCR) of not less than 1.15 times and maintain a debt-to-equity ratio not
exceeding 3.0 times for the first three years after the date of the loan agreement and not exceeding
2.5 times after such period. The loan agreements provide that MNTC may incur new loans or
declare dividends as long as the Pro-forma DSCR for the relevant year is not less than 1.30 times.
*SGVFS008665*
- 141 MNTC also ensures that its debt to equity ratio is in line with the requirements of the BOI. BOI
requires the Company to comply with a 75:25 debt to equity ratio as proof of capital build-up.
MNTC is in compliance with the required financial ratios and other loan covenants.
In relation to CICs loan agreement relating to the Series 2010-1 Dollar-denominated Notes, CIC
shall not pay any dividends or make any other distribution in respect of its share capital following
these events: (1) early amortization, cash trapping and repurchase events as indicated in the terms
of the Notes; (2) failure to fully fund the transaction account; (3) while the construction of
CAVITEX is not yet complete; (4) while the Notes have not commenced to amortize. CIC has not
paid any dividends in 2014. Other than restrictions as to dividend distribution, CIC is not subject
to other externally imposed capital requirements.
Under the RCBC/BDO loan, CIC is required to maintain a DSCR of at least 1.05 times at all times
until full payment of the long-term debt and at least 1.20 times for declaration of dividends and
other distributions. CIC shall also maintain a maximum debt to equity ratio of 3.0 times at all
times until full payment of the long-term debt. CIC is in compliance with the required financial
ratios and other loan covenants.
Water Segment. Maynilad closely manages its capital structure vis-a-vis a certain target gearing
ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. Maynilads target gearing ratio is
75%. This target is to be maintained over the next five years by managing the level of borrowings
and dividend payments to shareholders.
For purposes of computing its net debt, Maynilad includes the outstanding balance of its long-term
interest-bearing loans, service concession obligation payable to MWSS and trade and other
payables, less the outstanding cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, deposits and
sinking fund. To compute its capital, Maynilad uses net equity. Maynilad closely monitors its
debt covenants and maintains a capital expenditure program and dividend declaration policy that
keeps the compliance of these covenants into consideration. In 2014, Maynilad is in compliance
with the required financial ratios and other loan covenants.
MPIC Group. The Company manages its capital structure and adjust to it in light of changes in
economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may obtain
additional advances from shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or issue
new debt or redemption of existing debt. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or
processes during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company monitors capital
on the basis of debt-to-equity ratio. Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as long-term debts over
equity. The Companys goal is to maintain a sustainable debt-to-equity ratio. The debt-to-equity
ratio as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are:

During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and
Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurement.
The following methods and assumptions were used to measure the fair value of each class of
assets and liabilites for which it is practicable to estimate such value:
Levels 1 and 2 Fair Value Hierarchy
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Due to the short-term nature of transactions, the fair value of cash
and cash equivalents approximate the carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period.
Restricted Cash, Cash Deposits, and Accounts Payable and Other Current Liabilities. Carrying
values approximate the fair values at the reporting date due to the short-term nature of the
transactions.
Investments in UITF. A UITF uses the mark-to-market method in valuing the funds securities. It
is a valuation method which calculates the Net Asset Value (NAV) based on the estimated fair
market value of the assets of the fund based on prices supplied by independent sources.
Due from Related Parties. In 2014 and 2013, fair value of due from related parties approximates
their carrying amounts as these are expected to be settled within a year from the consolidated
statement of financial position date.
Refundable Occupancy Deposits. The fair value of the refundable occupancy deposits is
determined by discounting the deposit using the prevailing market rate of interest. The effective
annual rate used in 2014 and 2013 is 7.01% and 7.01%, respectively.
Service Concession Fees Payable and Customers Guaranty Deposits. Estimated fair value is
based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of
financial instruments.
Financial Guarantee Obligation. Estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of future
cash flows using the prevailing peso interest rates that are specific to the tenor of the instruments
cash flows ranging from 1.0% to 6.0% in 2013.
Notes Receivable, Miscellaneous Deposits and Other Financial Assets. Estimated fair value is
based on the present value of future cash flows discounted using the prevailing PDST-F rates that
are specific to the tenor of the instruments cash flows at the end of each reporting period with
credit spread adjustment.
*SGVFS008665*
- 146 Long-term Debt. For both fixed rate and floating rate (repriceable every six months) US dollardenominated debts and Philippine Peso-denominated fixed rate corporate notes, estimated fair
value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the prevailing credit adjusted US
risk-free rates and Philippine risk free rates that are adjusted for credit spread ranging from 2.1%
to 6.0% and 1.2% to 6.1% in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

not reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As discussed in Note 11, MPIC acquired
56.35 million shares of Meralco at an aggregate consideration of =
P13.24 billion. Of the amount
due to Beacon Electric, a total of P
=4.45 billion was paid through offsetting with MPICs share of
dividends on common shares declared by Beacon Electric on June 24, 2014 and
November 17, 2014.
*SGVFS008665*
- 147 CII B&R (formerly Lu Gia Mechanical Electric Joint Stock Company) is a joint stock company
established and existing under the laws of Vietnam and listed in Ho Chi Minh City Stock
Exchange. The Company manufactures and trades lighting equipment, metal pillars and
mechanical parts for public lighting, traffic and decoration purposes.
Cebu-Cordova Bridge Project. In January 2015, MPTDC procured the original proponent status
for the proposed Cebu-Cordova Bridge Project from Cebu City and the Municipality of Cordova.
Negotiations with both Cebu City and the Municipality of Cordova are on-going and once done, a
Swiss Challenge will have to be conducted before awarding of the contract.
This project spanning 8.3 kilometers will link the island of Mactan to mainland Cebu through the
Municipality of Cordova. The total construction cost of the Cebu-Cordova Bridge Project is
estimated at P
=17.0 billion and completion date by 2020 assuming that awards and approvals are
secured by the first half of 2015.
MPTDC is proposing to form a joint venture vehicle with the City of Cebu and the Municipality of
Cordova for the design, construction, implementation, operation, and maintenance of the toll
bridge. The proposed joint venture will operate under a 35-year concession period, inclusive of
the preparatory work, design, and construction of the project.
MPIC Share Placement. MPIC, together with its principal shareholder, MPHI entered into a
placement agreement with UBS AG, Hong Kong Branch on February 9, 2015, in respect of the
offer and sale (the Offer) by MPHI of 1,812,000,000 common shares of MPIC at the Offer Price
of P
=4.90 per share. Closing of the Offer is conditioned, among others, on MPHI subscribing (or
agreeing to subscribe) to the same number of shares at the offer price or a total of approximately
P
=8.9 billion. The proceeds from the placement and subscription transaction shall be used by
MPIC primarily for the reduction of relatively expensive debt at MPICs affiliate, Beacon Electric,
investment in previously announced projects and general corporate purposes.
Consequently, MPHIs economic interest in MPIC is reduced from 55.8% to 52.1%.
Meralco and Beacon Electrics Dividend Declaration. On February 23, 2015, the BOD of
Meralco approved the declaration of the final cash dividend of P
=8.49 per common share in favor
of the common stockholders of record as at March 23, 2015 with payment date of April 15, 2015.
The final cash dividends comprises of regular and special dividend of =
P3.66 and =
P4.83 per
common share, respectively.
On February 26, 2015, the BOD of Beacon Electric declared total dividends of P
=4.3 billion in
favor of the common shareholders of record as at February 26, 2015 with payment date of
February 27, 2015. MPICs share of the dividends declared by Beacon Electric amounting to
=
P2.2 billion is earmarked for offsetting against MPICs payable to Beacon Electric for the
acquisition of the Meralco shares as disclosed in Note 11.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate This
interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that
undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The SEC and the
FRSC have deferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is
issued by the IASB and an evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue standard
against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed. Adoption of the
interpretation when it becomes effective will not have any impact on the financial statements
of the Company.
The following new standards and amendments issued by the IASB were already adopted by the
FRSC but are still for approval by BOA:
Effective January 1, 2015
PAS 19, Employee Benefits Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments)
PAS 19 requires an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties when
accounting for defined benefit plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, they
should be attributed to periods of service as a negative benefit. These amendments clarify
*SGVFS008665*
- 149 that, if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an
entity is permitted to recognize such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the
period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to the periods of
service. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2015. It is not expected that this amendment would be relevant to the Company, since none of
the entities within the Company has defined benefit plans with contributions from employees
or third parties.
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment and PAS 38, Intangible Assets Revaluation
Method Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization
The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that the
asset may be revalued by reference to the observable data on either the gross or the net
carrying amount. In addition, the accumulated depreciation or amortization is the
difference between the gross and carrying amounts of the asset.
PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures Key Management Personnel The amendment is
applied retrospectively and clarifies that a management entity, which is an entity that
provides key management personnel services, is a related party subject to the related party
disclosures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose the
expenses incurred for management services.
*SGVFS008665*
- 150
PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Portfolio Exception The amendment is applied
prospectively and clarifies that the portfolio exception in PFRS 13 can be applied not only
to financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to other contracts within the scope of
PAS 39 (or PFRS 9, as applicable).
PAS 40, Investment Property The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that
PFRS 3, and not the description of ancillary services in PAS 40, is used to determine if the
transaction is the purchase of an asset or business combination. The description of
ancillary services in PAS 40 only differentiates between investment property and owneroccupied property (i.e., property, plant and equipment).
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Clarification of
Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization (Amendments) The amendments
clarify the principle in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern of economic
benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the
economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based
method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in
very limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets. The amendments are effective
prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption
permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Company given that
the Company has not used a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment and PAS 41, Agriculture Bearer Plants
(Amendments) The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets
that meet the definition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet
the definition of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of PAS 41. Instead, PAS 16
will apply. After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under PAS 16 at
accumulated cost (before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after
maturity). The amendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain
in the scope of PAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For government grants related
to bearer plants, PAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government
Assistance, will apply. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are
not expected to have any impact to the Company as the Company does not have any bearer
plants.
*SGVFS008665*
- 151
PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements
(Amendments) The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for
investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements.
Entities already applying PFRS and electing to change to the equity method in its separate
financial statements will have to apply that change retrospectively. For first-time adopters of
PFRS electing to use the equity method in its separate financial statements, they will be
required to apply this method from the date of transition to PFRS. The amendments are
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption
permitted. These amendments will not have any impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint
Venture These amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the
requirements in PFRS 10 and those in PAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution
of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require that
a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in
a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets
that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. These
amendments are effective from annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations
(Amendments) The amendments to PFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the
acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation
constitutes a business must apply the relevant PFRS 3 principles for business combinations
accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is
not remeasured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while
joint control is retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to PFRS 11 to specify
that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the
reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party. The
amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the
acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are prospectively
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption
permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Company.
PFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts PFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an
entity, whose activities are subject to rate-regulation, to continue applying most of its existing
accounting policies for regulatory deferral account balances upon its first-time adoption of
PFRS. Entities that adopt PFRS 14 must present the regulatory deferral accounts as separate
line items on the statement of financial position and present movements in these account
balances as separate line items in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income. The standard requires disclosures on the nature of, and risks associated with, the
entitys rate-regulation and the effects of that rate-regulation on its financial statements.
PFRS 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Since the
Group is an existing PFRS preparer, this standard would not apply.
*SGVFS008665*
- 152
PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Changes in
Methods of Disposal The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that
changing from a disposal through sale to a disposal through distribution to owners and
vice-versa should not be considered to be a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation
of the original plan. There is, therefore, no interruption of the application of the
requirements in PFRS 5. The amendment also clarifies that changing the disposal method
does not change the date of classification.
PAS 19, Employee Benefits regional market issue regarding discount rate This
amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that market depth of high quality
corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated,
rather than the country where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market for
high quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used.
PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting disclosure of information elsewhere in the interim
financial report The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that the
required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or
incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever
they are included within the greater interim financial report (e.g., in the management
commentary or risk report).
PFRS 9, Financial Instruments Hedge Accounting and amendments to PFRS 9, PFRS 7 and
PAS 39 (2013 version) PFRS 9 (2013 version) already includes the third phase of the
project to replace PAS 39 which pertains to hedge accounting. This version of PFRS 9
replaces the rules-based hedge accounting model of PAS 39 with a more principles-based
approach. Changes include replacing the rules-based hedge effectiveness test with an
objectives-based test that focuses on the economic relationship between the hedged item and
the hedging instrument, and the effect of credit risk on that economic relationship; allowing
risk components to be designated as the hedged item, not only for financial items but also for
*SGVFS008665*
- 153 non-financial items, provided that the risk component is separately identifiable and reliably
measurable; and allowing the time value of an option, the forward element of a forward
contract and any foreign currency basis spread to be excluded from the designation of a
derivative instrument as the hedging instrument and accounted for as costs of hedging.
PFRS 9 also requires more extensive disclosures for hedge accounting.
PFRS 9 (2013 version) has no mandatory effective date. The mandatory effective date of
January 1, 2018 was eventually set when the final version of PFRS 9 was adopted by the
FRSC. The adoption of the final version of PFRS 9, however, is still for approval by BOA.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.
Issued by the IASB but not yet been adopted by the FRSC
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and
establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with
customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration
to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a
customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and
recognising revenue. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede
all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or modified
retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017
with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and
plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date once adopted locally.

who is a President and CEO of various companies within the group and who holds directorships (either as Executive, Non-Executive or Independent Director) in different
publicly listed corporations.
(c) Define and clarify the roles, accountabilities and deliverables of the Executive, Non-Executive and Independent Directors:
Roles
Executive
The Executive director is a director who is
also the head of a department or unit of the
Corporation or performs any work related to
its operation. The following are the roles of
an Executive Director as stated in the
Corporations By-Laws and Revised Manual
of Corporate Governance:
Non-Executive
The Non-executive director is a director who
is not the head of a department or unit of the
corporation nor performs any work related to
its operation. The following are the roles of a
Non-Executive Director as stated in the
Corporations By-Laws and Revised Manual of
Corporate Governance:
Independent Director
An Independent director is a person who,
apart from his fees and shareholdings, is
independent of management and free from
any business or other relationship which could,
or could reasonably be perceived to; materially
interfere with his exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as
a director. The following are the roles of an
Independent Director as stated in the
Corporations By-Laws and Revised Manual of
Corporate Governance:
Independent directors should always attend
Board meetings. Unless otherwise provided
in the By-laws, their absence shall not affect
the quorum requirement. However, the
Board may, to promote transparency,
require the presence of at least one
independent director in all its meetings.
It is the Boards responsibility to foster the
long-term success of the corporation, and
to sustain its competitiveness and

sustained progress.
A director should observe the following
norms of conduct:
a. Conduct fair business transactions with
the corporation, and ensure that his
personal interest does not conflict with
the interests of the corporation.
b. Devote the time and attention necessary
to properly and effectively perform his
duties and responsibilities.
c. Act judiciously.
d. Exercise independent judgment.
e. Have a working knowledge of the
statutory and regulatory requirements
that affect the corporation, including its
articles of incorporation and bylaws, the

accountability to the shareholders. They are
expected to be independent of management
and free from any business or other
relationship which could, or could reasonably
be perceived to, materially interfere with his
exercise of independent judgment in carrying
out his responsibilities as a director. As
Independent Directors, as much as possible,
they are expected to be in attendance during
board meetings to promote transparency and
independence.

members who are elected by the stockholders. At least two (2) or twenty percent (20%) of the Board shall be composed of Independent directors, while the rest of the

judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director. The Corporation has fifteen (15) directors, four (4) of which are Independent.

directors, officers and employees, including their decisions and actions when performing their respective duties and responsibilities.
Directors
Senior Management
Employees
1. Avoid any actual or apparent conflicts of interest between your private interest, including the private interest of a member of your
family, and the interests of MPIC, unless you have obtained prior approval by the appropriate approving authorities as designated in
applicable policies of MPIC. Any actual or apparent conflict of interest, and any material transaction or relationship that could

2. Avoid activities and interests that could significantly affect the objective or effective performance of duties and responsibilities in
MPIC, including business interests or unauthorized employment outside MPIC, the receipt from and giving of gifts to persons or
entities with whom MPIC relates, as well as insider dealing.

personal considerations and other relationships, which may interfere with the exercise of independent judgment.
4. Advance MPICs legitimate interests when the opportunity arises. Avoid competing with MPIC on a business opportunity or acquiring
an interest adverse to that of MPICs. Refrain from taking advantage of Company property, information or position, or opportunities
arising from these, for personal gain, to compete with MPIC, or act against the best interest of MPIC. Directors, officers and employees
who intend to make use of Company property or services in a manner not solely for the benefit of MPIC should obtain prior approval
from appropriate approving authorities as designated in applicable policies of MPIC.
57

business partners, or such other parties with whom MPIC relates, if disclosed.

destroyed or falsified to impede, obstruct or influence any investigation by, or proceeding before any official Company committee or
body, governmental, regulatory or judicial body having jurisdiction.

the Corporate Governance Office in the case of waivers for employees. Any such waiver for any director or executive officer or any
material amendment to the Code must be promptly disclosed to the shareholders of MPIC.
3. Disciplinary actions against violators include measures such as dismissal and/or the filing of appropriate civil and criminal actions. For
purposes of this Code, violators are defined as a)persons who commit prohibited acts or who fail to implement prescribed acts when
there is an obvious opportunity to do so; b) employees who knowingly abet such acts of commission or omission or who fail to report
such acts that violate the Code; and c) persons of authority who fail to impose the necessary disciplinary measures against violators.
4. Retaliation or discrimination, whether direct or indirect and in any form, against any director, officer, or employee who reports,
honestly and in good faith, any violation or perceived violation of this Code shall not be tolerated.
1. Any director, officer or employee is encouraged to contact the Corporate Governance Office when in doubt about the best course of

the Corporate Governance Office in the case of waivers for employees. Any such waiver for any director or executive officer or any
material amendment to the Code must be promptly disclosed to the shareholders of MPIC.

Has the code of ethics or conduct been disseminated to all directors, senior management and employees?
Yes, the Corporations Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are made available to all directors, senior management and employees. It is also published in the company
website for ease of access and reference.
3.
Directors, officers, and employees of the Corporation commit to comply with both the letter and spirit of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and MPIC endeavors to
obtain the same commitment from its business partners. The Corporations Corporate Governance Office is responsible for monitoring compliance and implementing the
Code to specific situations in which questions or concerns may arise, and has the authority to interpret and decide on such issues arising from the implementation of the
Code. The Corporation also established a whistleblowing policy, to be used as a communication or reporting channel on observed non-compliance in the Revised Manual of
Corporate Governance, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and other existing Corporate Governance policies and procedures. This policy is further discussed in item H.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

(a) How many days in advance are board papers for board of directors meetings provided to the board?
In practice, the Corporation provides its directors the agenda and materials for board and board committee meetings days in advance of the scheduled board or board
committee meeting to provide them with ample time in evaluating and understanding the issues and concerns that will be raised in the meeting.
(b) Do board members have independent access to Management and the Corporate Secretary?
The members of the Board have independent access to Management and the Corporate Secretary. The Revised Manual of Corporate Governance Article (4) Adequate
and Timely Information states the provision below:
To enable the members of the Board to properly fulfill their duties and responsibilities, Management should provide them with complete, adequate and timely
information about the matters to be taken in their meetings.
Reliance on information volunteered by Management would not be sufficient in all circumstances and further inquiries may have to be made by a member of
the Board to enable him to properly perform his duties and responsibilities. Hence, the members should be given independent access to Management and the
Corporate Secretary.
(c) State the policy of the role of the company secretary. Does such role include assisting the Chairman in preparing the board agenda, facilitating training of directors,
keeping directors updated regarding any relevant statutory and regulatory changes, etc?
According to the Corporations By-Laws, the Corporate Secretary shall be the custodian of and shall maintain the corporate books and record and shall be the recorder of
the Corporations formal actions and transactions.
The Corporate secretary shall have the following specific roles and duties: (a) to record or see the proper recording of the minutes and transactions of all meetings of the
directors and the stockholders and to maintain minute books of such meetings in the form and manner required by the law; (b) to keep or cause to be kept record books
showing the details required by law with respect to the stock certificates if the Corporation, including ledgers and transfer books showing all shares of the Corporation
subscribed, issued and transferred; (c) to keep the corporate seal and affix it in all papers and documents requiring seal, and to attest by his signature all corporate
documents requiring the same; (d) to attend to the giving and serving of all notices of the Corporation required by law or the By-Laws to be given; (e) to certify to such
corporate acts, countersign corporate documents or certificates, and make reports or statements as may be required of him by law or by government rules and
regulations; (f) to act as the inspector at the election of directors and, as such, to determine the number of shares of stocks outstanding and entitled to vote, the shares
of stocks represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and to receive votes, ballots, or consents, hear and determine all
challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are
proper to conduct the election or vote. The Secretary may assign the exercise or performance of any of the forgoing duties, powers and functions to any other person or

persons, subject always to his supervision and control; and (g) to perform such duties as are incident to his office or as may be assigned by the Board of Directors or the
President.
The Revised Manual of Corporate Governance on the other hand states the following roles, duties and qualifications of the Corporate Secretary: (a) be responsible for
the safekeeping and preservation of integrity of the minutes of the meetings of the Board and its committees, as well as the other official records of the corporation; (b)
be loyal to the mission, vision and objectives of the corporation; (c) work fairly and objectively with the Board, Management and stockholders; (d) have appropriate
administrative and interpersonal skills; (e) if he is not at the same time the corporate legal counsel, be aware of the laws, rules and regulations necessary in the
performance of his duties and responsibilities; (f) have a working knowledge of the operations of the corporation; (g) inform the members of the Board, in accordance
with the By-Laws, of the agenda of their meetings and ensure that the members have before them accurate information that will enable them to arrive at intelligent
decisions on matters that require their approval; (h) attend all Board meetings, except when justifiable causes, such as illness, death in the immediate family and serious
accidents, prevent him from doing so; (i) ensure that all Board procedures, rules and regulations are strictly followed by the members; and (j) if he is the Compliance
Officer, perform all duties and responsibilities of the said officer as provided for in the Code.
In practice, the facilitation of the trainings for the directors, specifically on Corporate Governance matters, is done as a function of the Compliance Officer. The
Corporations group of companies conducts various corporate governance trainings and seminars, through third party facilitators, to equip its directors and officers on
the relevant corporate governance best practices.
(d) Is the company secretary trained in legal, accountancy or company secretarial practices? Please explain should the answer be in the negative.
The Corporate Secretary, Mr. Antonio A. Picazo, is a well trained Legal and corporate secretarial practitioner. Mr. Picazo is currently the Managing Partner of Picazo
Buyco Tan Fider & Santos Law Offices. He serves as a Director and/or Corporate Secretary of several large Philippine corporations, including Metro Pacific Investments

Regulatory
The majority of our invested capital is deployed into businesses which are directly regulated by arms of the state: electricity distribution;
water supply and distribution along with sewage treatment; tollroads; and rail. Each of these businesses has concession and / or franchise
agreements which involve a degree of operating performance obligation in order to retain our rights and earn our expected returns. In
some cases, these agreements provide for retrospective assessment of the extent of our overall operational and financial performance
sometimes over a period of years.
Risks arising from these types of businesses include the potential for differences with regulators involving interpretation of the relevant
concessions either during the period in question or in retrospect. To manage these risks, the investee companies have established
dedicated regulatory management groups with experienced personnel. Their duty is to manage the relationship with regulators, keep
management up-to-date on the status of the relationship and ensure companies are well prepared for any forthcoming regulatory
changes or challenges.
Competition and Market
Competitive and market-driven demand risks are most pronounced in Meralco, MPTC and the Healthcare group.
o
Meralco carries a degree of market risk and its returns in the short term may be impacted by consumers who elect to self-generate
and disconnect from the distribution grid. MPIC is mitigating that risk by improving efficiencies to the point that makes it largely
uneconomic to self-generate. With the move to Open Access from June 2013, Meralco will take on risks associated with buying and
selling power on its own account instead of on a pass through basis. Meralco has long prepared for this and has an experienced
management team already in place to lead this new business. Meralco is now also invested in power generation with attendant
demand volume and price risks and fuel source price and supply risks. The primary mitigants are contracting to match demand and
supply side volumes where possible and employing highly experienced power market professionals to manage any open positions
by trading in the market.
At MPTC, MPIC sets tariff on new road projects based on traffic projections agreed with the regulator. Rising fuel prices, alternative
means of transport and existing or prospective alternative routes are all factors that can affect the number of vehicles that use our
roads.
MPIC alleviate this risk by choosing our projects carefully. Existing high traffic density, difficulty in securing competing routes, a high
potential for growth given demographic changes and conservative growth estimates, even with the prior factors included in the
assessment, are the important variables we consider when committing to traffic projections with the regulator.
For the Hospitals group, investment is taking place to enable more qualified personnel to better serve patients more efficiently and
effectively in upgraded facilities and with better equipment.
The primary risk is that investment runs ahead of demand and patient ability or willingness to pay. MPIC mitigate this risk by
ensuring MPIC knows our target market and scale our improvements to their ability to pay. The pace of medical innovation is
accelerating requiring increased management of the risks that costly equipment may become out of date before its cost is fully
90
Liquidity Risk
Each business monitors its cash position using a cash forecasting system wherein all expected collections, check disbursements
and other payments are determined to arrive at the projected cash position to cover its obligations.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed by setting limits on the amount of risk a business is willing to accept for individual counterparties and by
monitoring exposures in relation to such limits.

(b) Group
Give a general description of the Groups risk management policy, setting out and assessing the risk/s covered by the system (ranked according to priority), along

accelerating requiring increased management of the risks that costly equipment may become out of date before its cost is fully
recovered and traditional healthcare delivery models may be disrupted.
The water company has some supply side risk in that: (i) it secures most of its supply from a single source the Angat dam; and (ii) this
water source is shared by another water concessionaire, a hydroelectric plant, and the needs of farmers for irrigation. A water usage
protocol is in place to ensure all users receive water as expected within the constraints of available supply. Following significant water
supply disruption in late 2009 arising indirectly from typhoons, the business entered 2010 with less water supply available than allowed
for in its concession. We have worked to moderate our reliance on Angat by developing the Putatan Water Treatment Plant and are
working on other alternative water sources in partnership with our regulator. However, our regulator does not now wish us to invest
further in alternative water sources and this means the logical way to mitigate our supply side risk is now largely prohibited to us.
Financial
MPICs investee companies financial risks are primarily: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price
risk. The Board of Directors of each company reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks as follows.
Liquidity Risk
Each business monitors its cash position using a cash forecasting system wherein all expected collections, check disbursements
and other payments are determined to arrive at the projected cash position to cover its obligations.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed by setting limits on the amount of risk a business is willing to accept for individual counterparties and by
monitoring exposures in relation to such limits.

Liquidity Risk
Risk Assessment
Credit risk is the risk that the Corporation will incur a loss
arising from customers, clients or counterparties that fail to
discharge their contracted obligations.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will encounter
difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities. The Corporations objective is to maintain a
balance between continuity of funding and flexibility
through the use of bank loans and facilities.
The Corporation manages and controls credit risk by setting limits on the
amount of risk that the Corporation is willing to accept for individual
counterparties and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits.
The Corporation monitors its cash position using a cash forecasting
system. All expected collections, check disbursements and other cash
payments are determined daily to arrive at the projected cash position to
cover its obligations and to ensure that obligations are met as they fall
due. The Corporation monitors its cash flow position, particularly the
collections from receivables, receipts of dividends and the funding
requirements of operations, to ensure an adequate balance of inflows
and outflows.
The Corporation also has online facilities with its depository banks
wherein bank balances are monitored daily to determine the
Corporations actual cash balances at any time.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates.
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Corporation is
subject to fair value and cash flow interest rate risks. Fixed

Investigation Procedure
The format and length of an investigation will vary depending upon the nature and particular circumstances of each complaint made. The matters raised may:
111
i. be investigated internally;
ii. be referred to the External Auditor; and/or
iii. form the subject of an independent inquiry
The Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee or the person designated to investigate the complaint will write to the complainant whenever reasonably
practicable of the concern being received:
i. acknowledging that the concern has been received;
ii. advising whether or not the matter is to be investigated further and if so what the nature of the investigation will be;
iii. giving an estimate of how long the investigation will take to provide a final response telling the complainant whether any initial inquiries have been made, and
whether further investigation will take place, and if not, why not.
False Reports
If an employee makes a false report maliciously, with an ulterior motive, or for personal gain, the Corporation reserves the right to take appropriate actions against the
employee to recover any loss or damage as a result of the false report. In particular, the employee may face disciplinary action, including dismissal, where appropriate.
Anonymous Reports
As the Corporation takes reporting of misconducts, malpractices, and irregularities seriously and wants to conduct warranted investigations of both potential and actual
violations, it is preferred that these reports are not made anonymously. However, it is recognized that for any number of reasons, employees may not feel comfortable
reporting potential violations directly to the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee. In these cases, anonymous reports may be submitted to the HR
Department.

Livelihood and Enterprise Development program for 25 urban poor households of Ana Maria Heights, Barangay Calamansian,
Caloocan City. In cooperation with the Philippine Business for Social Progress of which MPIC is a member company, the
community-based cooperative project embarks on raising the quality of labor skills of its members for possible employment
within MPICs business portfolio.

and mediation and policy formulation.
The cooperative, composed of members of the Ana Maria Heights HOA, aims to provide services in the areas of carpentry,
masonry, plumbing, welding and electrical installations and infrastructure painting via construction contracts or sub-contracts
thru referred or endorsed affiliates and subsidiaries of the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC). The engagement with

The Shore It Up! campaign is an effort towards sustainable development, preservation and conservation of our marine
resources. As a yearly program of the Foundation, it also aims to help reduce destructive floods caused by environmental
neglect by both businesses and communities.
Shore It Up which adopts the relevant slogan: Rescue, Restore, Revive continued to undertake a coastal/underwater cleanup and environmental protection campaign after its successful start in 2009. On its 6th year, the environmental awareness
program of the MVP group spearheaded by the Metro Pacific Foundation known as Shore it Up (SIU), recently concluded a
livelihood program in the coastal community of Pamilacan, Bohol, thereby realizing the nationwide goal of the multi-awarded
program.

these areas, the Mangrove Propagation and Information Center, launched 2014 in Siargao, will serve as a structure to increase
the regions knowledge and appreciation of the benefits of mangroves.

Foundation sought to make a more significant impact on the children of Mano Amiga and manifested a deeper commitment to
them by expanding the Foundations pool of scholars through an endowment fund that would ensure 30 students getting the
full benefit of education. The 30 students receive excellent primary and secondary education through a scholarship that covers
per-pupil operational expenses of the School, as well as miscellaneous fees and expenses on student enrichment activities. In
addition, the grant from MPIF also supports the teachers benefits and training opportunities. MPIF provided a significant
donation that enabled Mano Amiga Academy to acquire a property in Paranaque for the Schools eventual relocation.
