Catalyst Reports Decline in Depot's Q3 Performance and Lowered Forecasts
What happened
Catalyst reported that Depot recorded a third-quarter 2026 net income of P548 million, which was down 22.1% year-on-year, despite net sales increasing by 2.4% to P9.45 billion. The nine-month 2026 net income reached P1.75 billion, marking a 6.1% decline year-on-year. Catalyst subsequently lowered its full-year 2026 revenue estimate to P37.8 billion and the net income forecast to P2.35 billion.

Why it matters
The decline reflects weaker underlying demand and sustained margin compression at Depot, with same-store sales growth turning negative in the third quarter. Catalyst's revised forecasts indicate a material reduction in expected revenue and earnings per share for the full year.
