Enterprise Sustains Growth Momentum on ICT Expansion and Network Modernization







The Enterprise business reported revenues of ₱12.4 billion for the first quarter of 2026, a 4% year-on-year increase, supported by sustained demand for ICT and digital infrastructure services, alongside strong Wireless performance.



Growth in the quarter was primarily driven by Corporate Data and ICT, which reached ₱9.3 billion, continuing to account for the majority of Enterprise revenues. This reflects organizations increasingly consolidating toward integrated, managed, and analytics-driven platforms to improve efficiency, scalability, and decision-making.



Within ICT, PLDT’s ICT subsidiary, ePLDT, recorded 34% year-on-year growth in technology services revenues, driven by strong performance in managed services and Data & AI solutions. These gains reflect the growing demand for solutions that allow customers to operate in an environment where speed, adaptability, and continuous innovation are critical for maintaining competitiveness.



In the data center segment, ePLDT's subsidiary VITRO Inc. delivered strong double-digit revenue growth. This performance was driven by robust demand from key enterprise industries and hyperscalers, reflecting the continued and growing need for data center infrastructure.



The Fixed business remained broadly stable, supported by sustained enterprise investments in network transformation and modernization initiatives. Fiber lines grew by 6% year-on-year, while SD-WAN lines increased by 17%, reflecting the continued shift of enterprises toward highly resilient fiber connectivity and software-defined networking solutions to support cloud adoption, multi-site operations, and centralized network management.



Meanwhile, PGC Enterprise revenues grew by 26%, highlighting momentum across international connectivity and digital platform services. Together, these developments underscore Enterprise’s continued efforts to enable digital transformation through scalable, resilient, and future-ready connectivity solutions.



On the Wireless front, the business sustained strong growth momentum, expanding by 13% in the first quarter—an acceleration from the 3% growth recorded in 2025. This was driven by the continued performance of Wireless platform solutions such as A2P, Bizload, and IoT, which are expanding the role of Wireless beyond core products like Enterprise Postpaid and Enterprise Broadband. A2P growth was further supported by higher SMS traffic, with an additional 1.4 billion messages versus the same period last year, as messaging aggregators continued to power business communications at scale. Meanwhile, Bizload and IoT supported enterprises in automating load distribution across workforces and improving operational efficiency through connected solutions.



Overall, the Enterprise segment’s performance in the quarter highlights a structural shift toward ICT-led growth, supported by a solid connectivity backbone across Fixed and Wireless solutions. This integrated approach—combining ICT, Fixed, and Wireless—enables enterprises to operate more seamlessly across locations while strengthening the reliability and scalability of their digital infrastructure.



Looking ahead, the Enterprise business is expected to sustain its momentum through continued expansion of ICT services, ongoing network modernization initiatives, and enhancements in service quality and customer experience. These efforts position the segment to capture evolving enterprise requirements as demand for secure, scalable, and intelligent digital infrastructure continues to grow.
