The Keepers Holdings, Inc., the Philippines’ largest distributor of imported liquor, has announced its financial results for 2025, according to a disclosure filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2026.
What Does The Keepers Holdings Do?
Think of The Keepers Holdings as a company that brings popular alcoholic drinks from around the world to stores in the Philippines. They sell famous brands like Johnnie Walker whisky, Chivas Regal, Jose Cuervo tequila, and even Red Bull energy drink. The company is led by businessman Lucio Co and has been doing this for over twenty years.
How Much Money Did They Make?
In 2025, The Keepers Holdings earned a net income (the profit left after all expenses are paid) of ₱3.56 billion. This is slightly higher—by 0.8%—compared to the ₱3.54 billion they made in 2024.
The company’s total sales reached ₱20.2 billion in 2025, which is 9% more than the ₱18.5 billion they sold in 2024. This means more people bought their products. In fact, they sold 8% more bottles and cases of drinks compared to the previous year.
What Made Them Grow?
According to the company’s press release, their biggest seller was Alfonso, an imported brandy that has become very popular in the Philippines. Alfonso sales have even exceeded the levels before the COVID-19 pandemic. The company also benefited from more people buying premium (higher-quality, more expensive) drinks and from bars and restaurants reopening and buying more products.
Sharing Profits with Stockholders
The Keepers Holdings announced they will give money back to their stockholders through dividends (a share of the company’s profits). Here’s how it works:
- Total dividend payout: ₱1.74 billion
- Amount per share: ₱0.12 for each share owned
- Payout ratio: 50% of their net income
- Dividend yield: 5.55%
- Who gets it: Stockholders who own shares as of April 17, 2026
- When they’ll receive it: May 7, 2026
This means if someone owns 100 shares of The Keepers Holdings stock, they would receive ₱12 (100 shares × ₱0.12 per share).
Upcoming Stockholders’ Meeting
The company will hold its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting on May 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The meeting will be hybrid, meaning people can attend in person at the 7F Board Room, Tabacalera Compound, or join online through remote communication.
During this meeting, stockholders will vote to elect the company’s board of directors. The nominees include five regular directors (Mr. Lucio Co, Mr. Jose Paulino Santamarina, Ms. Camille Clarisse Co-Lao, Mr. Robin Derrick Chua, and Ms. Jannelle Uy) and two independent directors (Mr. Enrico Cruz and Mr. Edgardo Lacson).
