MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC), the exclusive licensor of 7-Eleven in the Philippines, reported record system-wide sales in 2025 as the company expanded its nationwide footprint and entered a new leadership chapter under President Richard Lee.
During its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, PSC announced that system-wide sales reached an all-time high of Php 99.4 billion in 2025, up 6.4 percent from Php 93.5 billion in 2024. Company revenues likewise grew by 7.2 percent to Php 95.1 billion from Php 88.7 billion in the previous year.
The country’s largest convenience store operator attributed the growth to increased customer traffic, higher basket sizes, and continued store expansion across the country.
Despite a more challenging operating environment, PSC maintained strong profitability, posting a net income of Php 3.6 billion for the year.
The company also reported improvements in its financial position, with total assets increasing by 10.5 percent to Php 47.8 billion and stockholders’ equity rising by 23 percent to Php 11.2 billion. Return on equity climbed to a record 35.61 percent, while its debt-to-equity ratio remained at a manageable 3.28 times.
“We delivered another solid year in a demanding environment,” PSC President Richard Lee said. “Our priority was continuity, keeping the momentum going while strengthening the business for what comes next.”
The year also marked a significant leadership transition for the company. Lee assumed the presidency in July 2025, succeeding Jose Victor Paterno, who moved to the role of Chairman of the Board.
The leadership change signaled a new chapter for PSC while maintaining its long-term strategy centered on sustainable expansion, operational excellence, and innovation.
“I am confident in the leadership now guiding the company day to day,” Paterno said. “Richard brings a deep understanding of our operations and a disciplined approach to growth.”
PSC continued to strengthen its market leadership by expanding its 7-Eleven network to 4,491 stores nationwide by the end of 2025, up from 4,130 stores a year earlier. The addition of 423 new stores further extended the brand’s presence in communities across the country.
Of the total store count, 53.42 percent are company-owned while 46.58 percent operate under franchise arrangements.
The company said strong performance from its fresh food offerings and proprietary foodservice brands contributed significantly to growth across the network.
Looking ahead, PSC said it would continue investing in store modernization, technology upgrades, supply chain improvements, and operational efficiencies to support long-term growth.
A major component of the company’s digital transformation strategy was the expansion of cashless payment options. By the end of 2025, more than 1,000 stores had begun accepting cashless payments. That number has since grown to more than 4,000 stores as of May 2026.
Customers can now use credit cards, debit cards, QR Ph, e-wallets, and other digital payment methods in participating stores nationwide.
“We enter the next chapter with confidence,” Lee said. “Our focus now is on execution — opening the right stores, deepening how we serve customers, and scaling the digital and payment capabilities we built this year.”
PSC said these investments are expected to strengthen its position as the country’s leading convenience store chain while supporting sustainable growth in the years ahead.
