Emperador Inc. has informed stakeholders that its external auditor, Punongbayan & Araullo (the Philippine member firm of Grant Thornton International), has not yet completed the audit of the group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec, 31 2025.

The auditor said the statements are still undergoing a quality-assurance review, including verification of note disclosures to ensure full compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements. As a result, the auditors’ report, originally expected by Apr, 15 2025, will be issued “as soon as possible in the next few days.”

Emperador Inc. stated it is working closely with its auditor to finalize the documents promptly and will release the audited results once the review is completed.
