Axelum Resources Corp. (PSE: AXLM), the Philippines’ top coconut food products maker and exporter, announced that their total sales reached an all-time high of ₱10.2 billion in 2025, according to a press release filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2025.
What Does Axelum Do?
Think of Axelum as a company that takes coconuts and turns them into different food products that people around the world buy and eat. They’re called “fully integrated” because they handle everything from getting the coconuts to making the final products.
How Much Did Their Sales Grow?
The company’s total revenue (money from sales) grew by 39% compared to 2024. This means for every ₱100 they made in 2024, they made ₱139 in 2025. That’s a pretty big jump!
Here’s how their different sales channels performed:
- Export sales (selling to other countries) went up 41%. They sold more products to customers in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
- Local sales (selling within the Philippines) jumped 47%. This happened because they started selling to more businesses, reached more stores, and sold more products online.
Did They Make Profit?
Yes, Axelum made money, though some of their profit numbers grew slower than their sales:
- Gross profit (money left after paying for the coconuts and making the products) increased 34% to ₱2.5 billion
- EBITDA (a measure of operating profit) grew 30% to ₱1.4 billion
- Pre-tax profit went up 39% to ₱1.1 billion
- Net income (final profit after all expenses and taxes) rose 23% to ₱850 million from ₱688 million in 2024
What Challenges Did They Face?
According to Henry J. Raperoga, the company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, they managed to achieve these results despite some difficulties:
- The price of coconuts (their raw material) went up significantly because there weren’t enough coconuts available
- There were “industry headwinds and global uncertainties” (business challenges)
- They’re watching the situation in the Middle East because it might affect fuel and shipping costs
Despite these challenges, the company kept their profit margins steady – gross margin at 25%, EBITDA margin at 14%, and net margin at 8%.
What Are Their Plans for 2026?
Axelum shared several plans for the coming year:
- They will spend approximately ₱200 million on new machines, equipment maintenance, and computer systems
- They plan to launch new coconut products for Filipino shoppers to buy in stores
- They’re developing new, high-value products to sell to international customers
