Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC), the exclusive licensor of 7-Eleven in the Philippines, posted record system-wide sales of PHP99.4 billion in 2025 as the convenience store giant sustained its nationwide expansion and accelerated its digital transformation amid a leadership transition.
During its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, the company reported that system-wide sales grew 6.4% from PHP93.5 billion in 2024, driven by higher customer traffic, larger basket sizes, and continued store expansion. Revenues also increased 7.2% to PHP95.1 billion from PHP88.7 billion a year earlier.
PSC recorded a net income of PHP3.6 billion in 2025, underscoring the resilience of its business despite a more challenging consumer and operating environment. Total assets climbed 10.5% to PHP47.8 billion, while stockholders’ equity rose 23% to PHP11.2 billion. Return on equity reached a record 35.61%, while the company’s debt-to-equity ratio stood at 3.28 times, providing financial flexibility to support future investments and expansion.
“We delivered another solid year in a demanding environment,” PSC President Richard Lee said. “Our priority was continuity, keeping the momentum going while strengthening the business for what comes next. We stayed disciplined in how we grow and kept investing in the capabilities that serve our customers and shareholders over the long term.”
The company also marked a leadership transition in 2025. Lee assumed the role of president in July, while former president Jose Victor Paterno became chairman of the board. PSC said the leadership change was aimed at maintaining continuity in its long-term growth strategy while focusing on sustainable expansion, operational excellence, and innovation.
“I am confident in the leadership now guiding the company day to day,” Paterno said. “Richard brings a deep understanding of our operations and a disciplined approach to growth. As the Board, our focus remains on sustaining that momentum and creating lasting value for our shareholders and the communities we serve.”
PSC expanded its 7-Eleven network to 4,491 stores by the end of 2025 from 4,130 the previous year, adding 423 new outlets nationwide. Company-owned stores accounted for 53.42% of the network, while 46.58% were franchised. The retailer said it continued to strengthen its presence in key growth markets while enhancing store formats and customer experience. Growth was also supported by strong sales from fresh food offerings and its proprietary foodservice brands.
The company likewise stepped up investments in store modernization, technology, supply chain improvements, and operational efficiency as part of its digital transformation strategy.
A major milestone was the rollout of cashless payment acceptance to more than 1,000 stores by the end of 2025. That number has since expanded to over 4,000 stores as of the end of May 2026, enabling customers to pay using credit and debit cards, QR Ph, e-wallets, and other digital payment methods.
“We enter the next chapter with confidence,” Lee said. “Our focus now is on execution, opening the right stores, deepening how we serve customers, and scaling the digital and payment capabilities we built this year. That is how we keep 7-Eleven the most convenient choice for Filipinos wherever they are.”
