MILESTONES IN SM's HISTORY

Previous

1958
Founder Henry Sy, Sr. opened a shoe store along Rizal Avenue called Shoemart and a second one
on Carriedo, Manila.

1963-1967
The shoe store, Shoemart Makati, opened its doors to the public in 1963. Without losing momentum,
Shoemart Cubao opened in 1967.

1972-1980
Launched in 1972, Shoemart Manila on Calle Echague was transformed into the first of Mr. Sy’s
department stores. The opening of the department store, SM Makati in 1975 was a accompanied by
a dramatic corporate rebranding where Mr. Sy’s stores would be rechristened as SM from SM
Department Store. From its racks would spring fashion trends that would define fashion in the metro.
In 1980, SM Cubao opened, tapping into the large pedestrian population of that area.

1980-1984
Despite ongoing political and economic challenges, there was marked growth in SM as new
department stores opened in Cubao, Quezon City and Harrison in Manila at this time.
1985
The natural progression of store to mall happened when Mr. Sy opened his first mall on EDSA in
November 1985. SM North EDSA, a 125,000 square meter-mall, opened at a time when the country
was plunged into one of the most turbulent periods of political history.
1991-1993
The 1990s could be characterized as the start of the malling phenomenon as SM built one new mall
after another. SM opened SM City Sta. Mesa in 1990, SM Megamall in 1991 and SM City Cebu in
1993.
1994
SM Prime Holdings, Inc. was incorporated to become the vehicle for SM's mall operations. It went
public this year to enhance its funding capabilities and increase SM Prime's growth momentum in
mall development.
2001
SM's first mall in China opened in Xiamen, then owned by the Sy family with a gross floor area
(GFA) of 128,000 square meters (sqm.), almost similar in size to SM City Sta. Mesa and is 100%
occupied.
2003
SM Development Corporation, SM's property developer, unveiled its maiden condominium project,
the Chateau Elysee in Bicutan, Paranaque, marking its foray into the residential space.
2005
SM Investments went public and raised over USD500 million and was considered the largest IPO at
that time.
2006
SM Mall of Asia, SM Prime's flagship and the country's largest mall back then, was opened fronting
the scenic Manila Bay in Pasay City. The mall was the anchor development in the 60-hectare
reclaimed property now known as the Mall of Asia Complex.

Later in the year, SM bought a majority stake in Equitable PCI Bank and merged it with BDO.

This year saw the acquisition of the supermarket and hypermarket businesses by SM from the Sy
family.
2007
SM launched Hamilo Coast, a large-scale eco-tourism project in Batangas.

SM Hotels was also organized to oversee various hotel investments of the group in line with the
SM's tourism initiatives.

SM Prime acquires three projects in China --Xiamen, JinJiang and Chengdu from the Sy family. The
move allowed SM Prime gain a foothold in China's fast-growing economy for long-term growth
outside of the Philippines.
2013
SM Prime Holdings announced a landmark merger of all SM's property assets to create a company
that holds interests in malls, residences (under SM Development Corporation), offices, hotels and
convention centers (SM Hotels and Conventions Corp.) as well as leisure-related developments
(Costa del Hamilo, Inc.). The merger resulted in the creation of one of the largest property
conglomerates in Southeast Asia.

SM launched its American Depositary Receipt (ADR) Level 1 program. Under this, ADR securities
issued in the US representing SM common shares can be traded over-the-counter. This allowed US
investors to trade SM common shares in their own time zone and to settle transactions locally.

2015
SM Prime opens SM Seaside City Cebu, the anchor development in the 30-hectare integrated
property on reclaimed land in that province. SM Seaside Cebu, with a gross floorplate of 430,000
square meters is envisioned to be a premier destination in the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
2016
SM Investments Corporation announced the merger of its retail arm, SM Retail Inc. (SM Retail) with
several related retail companies that will include a diverse portfolio of food, household appliances,
DIY, furniture, apparel, footwear, pharmaceuticals/cosmetics and specialty retailing stores.
2017
SM Investments Corporation reached the PHP1 trillion market capitalization level in the stock
market.

2018
SM celebrates its 60th year.

Our History
LBC Express was initially founded in 1950s as “Luzon Brokerage Corporation.” It subsequently
changed its name to “LBC Air Cargo, Inc.” and operated as a brokerage and air cargo agent. A
few years after incorporation, LBC Express evolved into an express delivery service, becoming
the first Filipino-owned private courier company to provide time-sensitive deliveries in the
Philippines and offer customers an alternative to the Government-owned and operated postal
service.

In 1973, LBC Express pioneered 24-hour door-to-door express delivery and messengerial
services in the Philippines, providing greater convenience to its existing customers and further
expanding its market share. LBC Express’ name was formally changed to “LBC Express, Inc.”
on April 26, 1988 to reflect the express delivery services that had come to form its hallmark
business.

In the 1990s, LBC Express adopted the slogan “Hari ng Padala”, or Filipino for “King of
Forwarding Services.” LBC Express has now become the market leader in the Philippine
domestic air freight forwarding market and, for the year ended November 30, 2012, had a
market share of 41.8% of the domestic air freight forwarding industry in terms of throughput by
weight, according to data from the CAB. While LBC Express’ logistics business still primarily
comprises retail express courier and freight forwarding services, it has also expanded its
product mix to offer services targeted at corporate customers, including full container load and
less-than-container load sea freight forwarding and end-to-end logistics solutions.
In the early 1980s, LBC Express entered into the domestic remittance business, leveraging the
existing branch network of its logistics business as customer contact points for remittance
acceptance and fulfillment, growing this business at low marginal cost. Beginning in 1999, LBC
Express expanded its money transfer services segment by offering bill payment collection
services in the Philippines by serving as a third party collection agent for various vendors
throughout the Philippines. In 2006, LBC Express also began providing corporate remittance
fulfillment services, such as payouts of government Social Security System benefits, payroll and
insurance benefits on behalf of third parties, as well as remittance encashments for customers
of its local remittance partner, Palawan Pawnshop.
LBC Express commenced its international money transfer operations in 1987 by establishing
relationships with agents and affiliates in the United States and steadily expanding its network
elsewhere globally to provide fulfillment services for inbound international remittances. LBC
Express later leveraged the network of its overseas affiliates to expand its Logistics business
internationally as well.
Today, LBC Express provides courier and freight forwarding services in over 20 countries and
territories outside of the Philippines and fulfillment services for inbound remittances originating
from over 30 countries and territories outside the Philippines, including the United States,
Canada, the Asia Pacific region, Europe and the Middle East.
