Globe has been named Gold winner in the Philippines under Best Managed Company – Telecommunication Services category in the 2026 FinanceAsia Asia’s Best Companies Poll, placing the company at the top of its sector and reinforcing investor confidence in its leadership, strategic direction, and long-term growth agenda. The distinction highlights Globe’s ability to deliver sustained business performance while continuing to evolve with the demands of an increasingly digital economy.

The annual poll gathers nominations from investors and analysts across Asia, recognizing publicly listed companies that demonstrate excellence in strategic direction, transparency, governance, and overall market performance. Gold, silver, and bronze distinctions are awarded across industries to highlight companies that have earned the highest confidence from the investment community.

Globe joins fellow Ayala Group companies honored in this year’s poll. Ayala Corporation received Gold in the conglomerates category, while Bank of the Philippine Islands earned Gold in financials, reflecting strong leadership across sectors that continue to drive economic growth and national development.

The award comes as Globe sustains solid business momentum across its core segments. In 2025, Globe reported 65.8 million mobile subscribers, with mobile data being the company’s largest revenue driver and contributing a record ₱101.2 billion. Beyond this, home broadband revenues grew to ₱24 billion, supported by continued fiber adoption and the expansion of GFiber Prepaid, while corporate data revenues rose to an all-time high of ₱20.7 billion as enterprise customers continued investing in digital solutions and ICT services. Together, data-driven services across mobile, broadband, and enterprise accounted for 88% of consolidated service revenues, highlighting the breadth of Globe’s digital business portfolio.

This distinction also adds to Globe’s growing international recognition. Earlier this year, Brand Finance ranked Globe among the world’s 10 strongest telecom brands, with a Brand Strength Index of 86.4 out of 100 and a brand value of USD 1.4 billion, reflecting strong market trust and brand resilience.

“This is a testament to Globe’s disciplined leadership, relentless focus on our customers, and commitment to delivering sustainable growth that our investors can rely on. It reflects the dedication of our people, the trust of our customers, and our continued drive to innovate, connect communities, and create meaningful impact across the Philippines,” said Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz.

Globe continues to sharpen its focus on operational excellence, customer engagement, and digital innovation while strengthening its network and service offerings. The company remains committed to advancing digital inclusion, enabling more Filipinos through accessible, high-quality connectivity, and creating long-term sustainable value.
