Cebu Pacific reported a net income of P9.47 billion in the first nine months of the year, a 181% surge from the P3.373 billion earned in the same period last year due to more passengers flown and additional gains from spare engines secured from the manufacturer.

Total revenue from January to September 2025 amounted to P87.6 billion, an 18% increase from the P74.5 billion reported in the same period last year. The growth was fueled by 20 million passengers flown, a 14% increase year-on-year, generating a healthy seat load factor of 84.8%, the low-cost carrier said in a statement.

The airline recorded earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of P22.2 billion, 26% higher than last year, for a 25% margin, while its core income before tax more than doubled to P2.9 billion.

Revenue from passengers grew 17% year-on-year to P59.657 billion while cargo revenues rose 30% to P5.191 billion.

For the third quarter of 2025, net income amounted to P499 million, reversing a P173 million net loss in the same period last year.

Revenue reached P24.3 billion, 5% higher year-on-year, despite the seasonal slowdown due to the earlier start of the academic year, while EBITDA grew 11% year on-year to P4.8 billion.

The airline flew over six million passengers for the third quarter, a 1% increase year-on-year.

Cebu Pacific said its growth and margin expansion were supported by an 18% increase in available seat kilometers on an 11% increase in flights year-to-date, as the airline continued its transition to larger, higher-capacity, and more fuel-efficient Airbus NEO aircraft.

By the end of September, the airline was operating over 3,100 weekly flights across 124 routes.

“Cebu Pacific delivered a strong year-to-date performance despite seasonal headwinds in the third quarter. This reflects the resilience of our business model, the strength of underlying travel demand, and the discipline of our teams in managing cost and capacity amid an evolving operating environment,” said Cebu Pacific chief executive officer Michael Szucs.
