PHP3.87 billion. As of September 2016, we have 44 malls nationwide, with a total gross leasable area of 1,262,000
square meters, up by 15% or 167,000 square meters, compared to the same period last year due to the opening of all
four planned malls namely; Robinsons Galleria Cebu, Robinsons Place Tagum, Robinsons Place General Trias and
Robinsons Place Jaro and expansion of other existing malls in Ilocos Norte.
The system wide average occupancy rate across all 44 malls is 94%, with approximately 8,000 retail stores, restaurants
and shops as our partners. Currently, we are enjoying a same-mall rental revenue growth of approximately 7%.
Our office buildings division generated 13% of total RLC revenue. We reported the fastest growth in revenues with a
29% increase to PHP2.89 billion for the full year of 2016 versus last year. The growth is largely due to the rental
contribution of the new office development namely; Cyberscape Alpha, Cyberscape Beta in Tera Tower. On the other
hand, EBITDA was up by 25% to PHP2.62 billion, while EBIT grew by 27% to PHP2 billion.
To date we have completed office developments in six strategic locations within central business districts and key cities
namely; Makati, Pasig, Quezon City, Mandaluyong, Cebu and Ilocos, with a total net leasable area of 325,000 square
meters. This is 5% higher than last year as we completed in September 2016, our architects in Robinsons Galleria,
Cebu and Ilocos Norte.
96% of the net leasable area has been leased as of September 30, 2016. As we remain bullish in the office buildings
sector, we are continuously looking out for additional properties to acquire to add to our office portfolio.
Our hotels division accounted for 8% of total RLC revenues. It posted revenues of PPH1.8 billion as of September 30,
2016, which is a 4% growth versus the same period last year. EBITDA was up by 7% to PHP660 million, while EBIT
rose by 8% to PHP491 [ph] million. To date, we have 15 hotel properties under three brand segments, with a
system-wide occupancy rate of 68%. Number of rooms grew by 4% versus fiscal year 2015 due to the opening of 89
rooms out of the 183 rooms of Go Hotels Lanag-Davao last September 2016. Go Hotels Lanag is the chain's largest
provisional [ph] hotel to-date.
Moving onto our residential division. Net pre-sales for the 12-months ending September 30, posted at PHP9.15 billion,
which is a 2% growth versus the same period last year. Robinsons Residences brand continues to be the biggest
contributor to net pre-sales at 46%, while Luxuria (inaudible) assets at 44%. In fiscal year 2016, we have launched a
total of five residential projects with a total sales value of approximately PHP7.2 billion, mainly Galleria, Residences,
Cebu, Tower 1 under the Robinsons Residences brand; Acacia Escalades, Axis Residences Tower B and Escalades
North Tower all under the Robinsons Communities brand and Brighton Bacolod under the Robinsons Homes brand.
In October of 2016, we formally launched the Residences at the Westin under the Luxuria brand and Brighton
Parkplace Puerto Princesa under the Homes brand. Realized revenues of our residential division accounted for PHP7.81
billion, an 18% growth versus the same period last year. This accounted for 35% of the total company revenues.
EBITDA up by 12% to PHP2.05 billion, while EBIT increased by 12% to PHP2.02 billion. Our unrealized sales and
reservation ended at PHP15.8 million as of September 30, 2016. We will realize this in the next three to four years.
As of September 30, 2016, we have spent an estimated PHP15.8 billion in capital expenditures for our Philippine
operations, out of the PHP17 billion allocated capital expenditure budget for fiscal year 2016. For October to December
2016, PHP4 [ph] billion will be allotted for capital expenditure, while for calendar year 2017, CapEx spending should
earmark at PHP16 billion.
On the other hand, total area of land (inaudible) in the Philippines is 625.3 hectares as of September 30, 2016, and in
terms of value, Metro Manila accounts for 40% of the total land bank owing to the higher property prices in CBDs and
KCTs. Around 77% of our land bank is company owned, where the balances are under GLA [ph] agreement, typically
associated with our Robinsons homes brand. The current level of our land bank is good for four to five years' worth of
project developments across our various business segments.
Moving forward for our malls division, we have increased gross leasable area by 16% to 1.26 million square meters by
the end of fiscal year 2016 as planned, by opening four new malls namely; Robinsons Galleria Cebu, our third and
largest mall in Cebu last December 10, 2015, Robinsons Place Tagum in Davao last April 28, 2016, Robinsons General

Trias in Cavite last May 26, 2016, and Robinsons Place Jaro in Iloilo in San Vicente Quezon last September 8, 2016. In
addition, we have opened the expansion mall in Robinsons Place Ilocos last July 14, 2016.
In the fourth quarter of calendar year 2016, we are targeting to complete the expansion of our Tacloban mall, which
will bring our gross leasable area to 1.28 million square meters by the end of calendar year 2016.
We plan to increase our mall footprint by increasingly GLA further by 11% to 1.41 million square meters in calendar
year 2017, by opening four new malls in Naga, Iligan, Armonk and Abucay and expanding our existing malls in McK
[ph] and Butuan mall. In calendar year 2018, four provisional malls are slated to be opened, which will boost gross
leasable area by 10% to 1.56 million square meters. Having mentioned our growth plans for the malls division, we
continue to aggressively scatter [ph] properties nationwide to replenish land for future malls to build on.
For our office buildings division, we continue to be bullish about the growth prospect of this sector. In fiscal year 2016,
we have increased our net leasable area by 5% to 325,000 square meters as we completed two office developments in
Galleria Cebu and Ilocos. In calendar year 2017, we will be completing Cyber Sigma located in Bonifacio Global City
and two office developments in Naga and Davao, which will boost net leasable area by 20% to 391,500 square meters.
The fully leased out Exxa Tower in Bridgetown in Quezon City and Cyberscape Gamma besides Cyberscape Beta in
Ortigas Central Pasig city are also under construction and are targeted to be completed in calendar year 2018. We are
expected to give a 20% increase in net leasable area to 471,500 square meters by the end of calendar year 2018.
For our hotels and resorts division, we were able to add 4% more keys to our hotel room portfolio in fiscal year 2016 to
2,263 rooms, by opening 89 rooms out of the 183 rooms of the tenth [ph] branch of our essential service hotel chain,
Go Hotels and the 15th hotel in our portfolio in Lanag-Davao. This is accompanied by the opening of the first franchise
Go Hotels branch Ninoy (inaudible) by our franchisee Roxaco-Vanguard Hotels Corporation.
We plan to open all the remaining rooms of Go Hotels Lanag by end of calendar year 2016, bringing the total room
count to 2,357. We are optimistic about the flourishing hospitality sector, which is why by calendar year 2017 and
calendar year 2018, we plan to increase the number of rooms by 20% and 19%, respectively, by opening Summit
Maxilom in Cebu, Summit Tacloban, Go Hotels Iligan, Summit Naga, Amisa, Go Hotels Naga and Go Hotels
Tuguegarao.
Our most important hotel project coming up is the Westin Hotel Sonata Place in Ortigas Central Business District. This
will be a five star 300 room hotel in the heart of Ortigas Central to open in calendar year 2020.
For our residential division as mentioned, we launched five residential projects with a total sales value of PHP7.2
billion in fiscal year 2016. The residences at Westin Manila Sonata Place of the Luxuria brand and Brighton Parkplace
Puerto Princesa under the Homes brand commence pre-selling in October 2016.
In calendar year 2017, we plan another launch in our residential projects. This will give us an opportunity to optimize
capital allocation by focusing on expanding our recurring revenue businesses, meaning the malls, offices and hotels,
and this will also allow us to concentrate on selling existing inventory. We would also like to announce that we have a
new Business Unit General Manager for the residential division, who is Mr. Henry Yap. He was formerly the Business
Unit General Manager for office buildings division. It is to be expected that we would be taking a more conservative
stance with our residential business in the coming year.
For our Chengdu project in China, we have received a verbal approval of the master plan and are awaiting its official
stamping. With regard to our Mitsubishi property, we are planning to commence land development by calendar year
2017. Lastly, we would like to share that RLC is adopting a revised accounting period from the fiscal year beginning
October 1, ending September 30 to calendar year, beginning January 1, ending December 31 and this will be effective
calendar year 2017. The adoption will result a one-time three month reporting period covering October to December
2016.
This ends our presentation. Thank you. We are now open for Q&A.

Your next question comes from RJ Aguirre of UBS. Please ask your question.
RJ Aguirre, Analyst
Hi Dick and your company, thank you for the call. Just wanted to expand on the previous question. My question is
actually on the lower margins across the board. So first, what's your comment on or give some details on some of the
OpEx performance across some segments, and specifically with regard to the malls performing for the year, lower it
looks like the EBIT margins are lower. So you mentioned depreciation 12% year-on-year. If this is just because of the
additional malls?
And secondly, do you see some increase in manpower expenses relating to some of the changes of the regulatory
environment on the tax --- sorry, on the endo rule?

RJ Aguirre, Analyst
Okay, thanks. In relation to that, so you have increased the debt levels currently. My next question is on the
debt-to-equity. So right now it's also rising. You -- would you be comfortable to leveraging up some more or just keep
it at these levels?
RJ Aguirre, Analyst
Not too much. Okay. My next question is on the office side. Heard that Catherine earlier about fully leased Gamma. So
pre-leasing currently for 2017, 2018, can you give us some idea on where we're at?
RJ Aguirre, Analyst
Right.
RJ Aguirre, Analyst
Sure.
