As for the composition of Other Nationalities, the biggest contributions come from Chinese nationals which

comprise 49% of the pie or PHP 10.00 billion. The current number is down 27% from the previous year due to

Macro Environmental Analysis


PESTEL
Economic Forces

In 2018 the Philippines just scored behind Vietnam and China with an economic growth rate of 6%. The outlook

for the real estate industry remains positive given that efforts from the Government are adding considerable push

towards growth. Analysts at Colliers Philippines see the Government’s ‘BBB’ as the biggest factor and advice

property developers to align their plans accordingly.

Real Estate, Renting, and Other Business Activities (RERBA)

The Philippines recorded 10.9% RERBA growth in 2018, which was quicker than 7.7% in the past year. The

main reason for this increase is in rent and other businesses, which recorded a development level of 17% in

2018 compared to 11.0% in the prior year. Dwelling's ownership also rose to 2.1% compared to 2.9% last year.

In addition, gross value added in real estate, rental and business activities increased by 10.9% in 2018.

Comprehensive Tax Reform Package

The TRAIN Law or the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion went into effect in 2018 (Pinnacle, n.d.). The

government's tax revenue goal for 2018 was PHP63.3B. This has a mixed effect on the economy, on one hand

it it helps finance the government-led' BBB' program by ensuring there is available capital. The increase in carbon

and oil tax would also have a significant and instant effect on the costs of constructing buildings and other

infrastructure.
22

The TRAIN law, however, also implies changes to taxes on personal income. In accordance with the current law,

taxpayers expect to benefit from reduced taxes against their income. This reduction will only be good for

Philippine consumers because it will lead to a greater purchasing power.

The 2nd TRAIN package, which reduces corporate taxes from 30% to 25% (Rivas, 2018), was received with

mixed feelings within the corporate community. TRAIN 2 removes corporate PEZA incentives, which means a

long list of benefits including fiscal holidays and streamlined import-export processes.

Among other factors, experts at Colliers have observed that the real estate market climate remains favorable in

under the new changes.

BPO’s and KPO’s Boom

The BPO industry is still enjoying a boom in 2018 (David, 2019). It is set to continue the route until 2020 with an

increase of employed workforce from 1.5 million to 1.7 million. This is despite the Trump Administration’s stance

against outsourcing jobs. The industry remains a growth driver and the main source of demand for offices. This

positive trend despite the political backdrop is due in fact to the quality of workers found in the Philippines and

their relatively cheaper salary rates. A young and well-educated workforce is churned out by the Philippines

yearly, with numbers at 500,000 on average.

Coming from 2018, the BPO sector is still riding a positive trend (David, 2019). This is expected to continue until

2020, with BPO and KPO employees increasing from 1.5 million to 1.7 million. This is despite the position of the

Trump Administration against outsourcing employment. The sector continues to be a driver of real estate

development and the primary driver office space demand. This positive trend is due to the quality of workers

found in the Philippines and their relatively cheaper salary rates. A young and well-educated workforce is churned

out by the Philippines yearly, with numbers at 500,000 on average.

OFW Remittances
23

The total remittances of OFWs between April and September 2018 was projected at 235,9 billion pesos (Rivas,

OFW sending increases for May 2018, 2018). These included cash that was sent to the Philippines (169.4 billion

pesos), cash taken back overseas (55.2 billion pesos) and in-kind remittances (11.2 billion pesos). Most OFWs

sent remittances via banks (52.8%), the remainder via money transfers.

The remittances from OFW’s has bolstered the retail industry and consequently, positively affects demand for

warehouse and mall leasable areas.

Political/ Legal Forces

Regulatory Efforts

a. Current laws in the Philippines state that property, at 60% minimum, be owned by Filipino citizens,

corporations, partnerships. Leasing of property to foreign citizens or companies can only reach up to a

maximum of 50 years and is renewable for another 25 years.

b. The RESA Law (Real Estate Service Act of the Philippines) professionalizes and regulates the practice

of real estate in the country through the development of technically competent, trained and accountable

real estate practitioners in the country. The Act assists in achieving the objectives of the state, to promote

the development of the capital market, democratize wealth by broadening the participation of Filipinos in

the ownership of real estate in the Philippines, use the capital market as an instrument to help finance

and develop infrastructure projects and protect the investing public by providing an enabling regulatory

framework and environment.

Efforts on Promoting Industry Growth


24

On the Residential/ Housing Segment:

Several legislations were established to promote and support the factors involved in residential property

development. The legislation, or regulations, revolve around every stage of a real estate development’s life cycle

or value chain. From regulations regarding financial assistance, to growth and development. As a result of the

government’s initiatives, the following are the financial initiatives brought forth by the Government that support

home ownership either through a specific loans payments scheme or insurance.

the Amortization Support Program Administrator, the Social Housing Development Fund, and the Mortgage

Trading Support program.

Social Housing Finance Corp. (SHFC)

The SHFC is the lead government agency that carries out social housing programs in the low-income segment.

The SHFC supports both informal and formal settlers. The SHFC and the Abot Kaya Pabahay Fund are

responsible for the development and administration of personal accommodation programs.


25

Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-Ibig)

The Pag-Ibig foundation was founded to meet the needs of the employed in the Philippines that wish

to own their own home. This foundation gives out financial assistance in the form of loans.

system as its new standard for accreditation of tourism accommodation establishments namely; for Hotels,
27

Resorts and Apartment Hotels. Prior to the new standards, DOT uses classifications such as De Luxe, First

Class, Standard and Economy for hotels; and A, AA and AAA ratings for resorts.

Continued Inclusion in the Investment Priorities Plan

The Board of Investments continues to grant fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to tourism enterprises that are

located outside Tourism Economic Zones, whose projects are registered with the BOI.

DOT-DPWH Memorandum of Agreement for Convergence Program for Enhancing Tourism Access

In February 2012, the Department of Tourism and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) signed

a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for a “Convergence Program for Enhancing Tourism Access”. The program

aims to boost tourism infrastructure projects in priority tourist destination areas in the country.

The two government agencies will be assisted by the Research, Education and Institutional

Development (REID) Foundation, a policy research and advocacy institute based in Metro Manila, in facilitating

efficient and more coordinated effort between DOT and DPWH in identifying, prioritizing and implementing

technically correct and politically participative road access leading to tourism destinations as identified in the

NTDP.

Technological

Big Data, A.I. and Machine Learning

One of the biggest and most impactful application of Machine Learning on the Real Estate Industry is Zestimate.

Zestimate “was created to give consumers as much information as possible about homes and the housing

market, marking the first-time consumers had access to this type of home value information at no cost.” Currently,
28

the median margin of error is down to 5% from 14% when it first started in 2017. It uses 1.7 million data points

mined from publicly available data.

The potential for Machine Learning is yet to be applied in the Philippine Real Estate industry but developers

should keep an eye on technology given its incredible potential. Given enough digital transformation in how Real

estate developers do business, it is inevitable that Machine Learning technologies will play an important role

business success.

Construction or Concrete Printing Technology

Concrete 3d Printing technology was first developed as an experiment in the first decade of the 21st century

where first generation models where constructed. As of 2018 the technology has entered is 2nd generation and

is now capable of printing entire buildings.

What’s notable about this technology is the speed benefit and the cost reduction involved in building structures.

Makers and service providers of the technology have claimed speeds of 2 to 3.5 meters of building material per

hour. Costs have been estimated to be at $10,000 dollars per house but eventually will reach $4,000 dollars per

house as the technology develops more.

Currently, the technology is already for sale on the market, but actual adoption is slow.

Online Portals and Support

Rappler reported on the report released by We Are Social and Hootsuite on metrics regarding internet usage by

country. The Philippines came out number one in 2018, the same spot it was in for the fourth straight year.

“In the Philippines, time spent online daily soared from 9 hours and 29 minutes last year to 10 hours and 2

minutes this year, the highest in the world. Coming in second is Brazil, clocking in at 9 hours and 29 minutes,
29

while Thailand is third at 9 hours and 11 minutes. Last year, the Philippines came in second to Thailand at 9

hours and 38 minutes.”

There are massive implications from this phenomenon as far as the real estate industry is concerned. To paint

a picture of this, as an example, Lamudi launched its “Digital Property Seekers Report” in 2018 that primary uses

online metrics to rate customer sentiment and interest regarding the real estate market.

The implication is, if a firm wants to know its customers, it needs to go where they are. Filipino customers are

online.

Socio-Cultural Forces

Population Growth

According to the Commission on Population, the Philippines’ total population is at 107,190,081 as of 2018. About

4,965 are added per day with an annual increase of 1.69 percent vs 1.55 percent in the previous year.

The World Population Review has projections for 2030 population levels to be at 125 million. That means there

is one birth every 14 seconds, one death every 50 seconds and a net gain of one person every 21 seconds.

Population growth is one of the key market drivers for the real estate industry. The population density in one

area, the trends it displays in terms of migration and growth rates directly impact the real estate industry.

Housing Backlog

The current classification for housing market segments recognized in the Philippines are socialized, economic,

low cost, mid end, and high end. This classification of housing market segments is determined by the price range.

Key Shelter Agencies (KSAs) like the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and

Home Guarantee Corporation (HGC), as well as, private housing developer associations
30

like the Subdivision and Housing Development Association (SHDA) uses the this same classification.

The price ranges designated for each segment is as follows;

 Socialized – 400k and below

 Economic – 1.25 million < N >400k

 Low Cost – 3 million < N >1.25 million

 Mid end - 6 million < N >3 million

 High end - >6 million

There is currently a housing backlog in the Philippine that’s projected to reach 6.8 million by 2022. Even at

production rate of 250,000 units produced annually, the Philippines will still have a backlog by 2030.

Most of the demand comes from the economic segment with a price range of 400k to 1.25 million with backlog

of 1.96 million units.

Market Segment Housing demand Housing supply Surplus (Deficit)

Socialized Housing 1,143,048 479,765 (663,283)

Economic Housing 2,503,990 541,913 (1,962,077)

Low Cost Housing 704,406 242,246 (462,160)

Mid Cost Housing 72,592 322,995 250,403

High End Housing 18,235 242,246 224,011

Total backlog: 3,087,520 excluding 832,046 households that are unable to afford a house.

Importance. Summing up numbers from the economic housing segment and the low-cost housing segment, the

size of the market is PHP 0.9 trillion worth of opportunities.

Foreign and Domestic Tourism Demand


31

Metro Manila's demand for hotel rooms is still supported by tourists coming from the usual countries such as

South Korea, the United States, China, and Japan. Together they account for around 60 percent of the country's

total international arrivals. Real estate specialists are forecasting a 10 percent increase to 6.6 million in 2018,

slower than the 17 percent or 7 million visitors projected by the department of tourism.

Source: Department of tourism

Domestic travel or "staycations" is anticipated to maintain demand for 3-and 4-star hotels. In addition, budget

hotels are still common among individuals between the ages for 25-35 years old who make up more than half of

local tourists.

Environmental

Climate Change

Climate change remains a major issue, with 2018 being the fourth hottest year since 1880. The effects of global

warming are already being felt in the Philippines, which is why policies for reducing emissions are being

undertaken by real estate developers including the adoption of measures to mitigate climate change vulnerability

in the design and development of property.


32

Traffic Woes

According to a research undertaken by the Boston Consulting Group, the NCS in the Philippines ranked 3rd in

Southeast Asia's worst traffic and demonstrates that Metro Manila Motorist and Commuters are trafficked for an

average of 66 minutes per day. Drivers also spend an average of 24 minutes per day looking for parking on top

of 66 minutes of traffic experience. In addition, travel time doubles in the morning and in the evening rush hours

Industry and Competitor Analysis


Brief Description of the Industry, Value Chain and WaterFall

The real estate industry comprises a wide range of aspects of property development, that includes the land and

the structure on top of it, the growth and assessment of the property, the relevant rules and regulations that

govern it, the sales and marketing processes surrounding the sale and lease of the property, the actual

construction and development of the structures and property and the continuous management, maintenance and

administrative support over the property. All these steps are part of the real estate value chain.

33

The Initiation stage is the start of the development life cycle. This stage is defined as the idea inception. No

formal feasibility study is involved in this stage, simply the entertainment an idea for a property development

project. At this point ideas are considered if they are feasible, in theory, or not.

The real estate industry is complex and involves a lot of resources and talent. Given that it requires massive

capital, the industry is sensitive to economic, social, technological and legal forces. As a result, part of the real

estate life cycle is the continual redevelopment, remodel, upgrade and remake of the property to ensure its

prolonged economic life.

Rivalry among competing firms - MEDIUM


34

There are a handful of big, multi-billion pesos property development firms competing in this industry. The market

is still growing, growth rate for 2018 was 10.9 percent. Property prices are also climbing. However, these firms

are like each other in terms of size, product offering, and capabilities. Overall the rivalry among competing firms

is Medium.

Potential entry of new competitors - WEAK

The barriers to entry for new firms in this industry is weak given that the needed capital is high, the industry itself

is highly regulated, and setting up the logistics is difficult since the operation is resource intensive.

Potential development of substitute products - WEAK

The substitute products that concern big property developers is the customer’s capability of constructing and

developing real estate on their own with smaller construction firms. The principle of economies of scale is active

in this situation, the bigger firms will have an upper hand since they would have access to cheaper debt, cheaper

raw materials, and leverage over suppliers. The potential for substitutes is weak.

Bargaining power of suppliers - MEDIUM

Big construction firms are not limited by one big supplier, rather they have a vast number of suppliers they can

choose from. But despite this leverage, the variety of inputs puts some of bargaining power over to suppliers.

The three major resources that property developers need are land, labor and capital. Of the three, labor and

capital carry the potential for gaining leverage over the firms. Labor, for example, can be taken over by unions

and wages are regulated by the DOH. Capital, in the form of debt, are supplied by big banks and are also

regulated by the government. With these points the bargaining power of suppliers is Medium.

Bargaining power of consumers - WEAK


35

Given that there are only a handful of property developers that can offer high quality products with prices to

match, the buyer has little bargaining power. The level is weak.

Market Share, Size and Growth trends

Real Estate refers to the land and all those items which are attached to the land. It is the physical, tangible entity,

together with the additions or improvements on, above or below the ground while Real Estate Development

Projects means the development of land for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, institutional or

recreational purposes, or any combination of such including, but not limited to, tourist resorts, reclamation

projects, building or housing projects, whether for individual or condominium ownership, memorial parks and

others of similar nature.

Real Estate, Renting and Business Activities was among the main drivers of GDP growth for the 4Q of 2017 of

the country, together with Manufacturing and Trade. The Philippines’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) posted a

6.6% growth in the 4th quarter of 2017, driving the economy to grow by 6.7 percent for the entire year of 2017.

The Real Estate industry contributed a total of 3.2% to the country’s 2017 GDP. Comparatively, an increase of

12% was posted by the industry with respect to the 2016 values, at current prices

It is seen that the massive thrust of the government in building crucial infrastructure projects through its Build

Build Build (BBB) Program, to usher the “Golden Age of Infrastructure” in the Philippines, is a major contributor

of dispersing property developments not just in major urban areas but also in its peripheries.

Growth Trends

Office Space Market Outlook


36

At the end of 2018, an occupancy of over 370.000 sqm of office space (4 million sq feet) was reported which is

over the original forcasted number of 344.000 sq meters (3.7 million sq feet), this is according to a report by

Colliers. The number is 31% greater year on year. Total office space occupied in 2018 reached 1.18 million sq

meters, a record high for Metro Manila, and exceeded the initial projection made by analysts by 1.15 million sq

meters.

Analysts at Colliers predict that the strong demand will continue all throughout 2019, as 28% of buildings

projected to be completed end of 2019 are already pre-leased. Based on data from 2018, Colliers expects

Alabang, Makati CBD, Fort Bonifacio, and the Bay Area to record the strongest occupancy rates in 2019.

For the period from 2019 to 2021, Colliers projects a net consumption of around 900,000 square meters per year

on average. Furthermore, their predictions show that demand is progressing with fresh production. Colliers

sees the completion of approximately 1.2 million sq meters (12.9 million sq feet) of new office space over the

next 12 months with a total occupancy of approximately 1 million sq meters (10.7 million sq. feet). By the

beginning of 2019, this should produce an acceptable vacancy rate of 5.0%.

Residential Market Outlook

Colliers analysts advise that developers look to the margins as sites for future residential development because

of the lack of land in major business districts like Makati CBD and Fort Bonifacio. In the last 12 months, Colliers

noted that in Quezon City, Manila, Caloocan-Malabon-Navotas (CAMANAVA), Ortigas fringes, Makati fringes,

and Pasay-Paranaque, contained 77 per cent of newly constructed units, while the other 23 per cent lie in main

the usual CBDs. They see much of the demand is coming from mid-income households that are moving into

condominiums. Other projects in southern Quezon City are expected to draw in new households from as far as

Bulacan, this view is further supported by the fact that the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 7 is planned for

implementation in 2021. Projects due for completion in Southern Metro Manila are expected to attract demand

from Cavite and Laguna. By the end of the year an additional 21 400 condominium units are expected to be

delivered, mostly in Manila Bay and Makati.

Hotel Industry Outlook


38

The hotels and restaurant subsector continues to drive consumer spending in the country, rising by 6.8%¹ in the

first three quarters of 2018 despite higher inflation. The segment has been growing by an average of 8%¹ since

2010, faster than the country’s GDP growth. (Bondoc, 2018)

The growth in tourists and tourism spending is reflected in tourism’s rising proportion of GDP, which has

increased from 8% in 2010 to 12.2% in 2017, according to latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority

(PSA). Based on the data from the PSA, this indicates that Filipinos continue to allot a significant portion of their

disposable incomes to restaurants, hotels, and other leisure-related activities.

Opportunities

O1. BPO and KPO demand for Office space still strong

The BPO industry in the Philippines is seen to remain still one of the biggest demand drivers for the

office space market. Analysts are attributing the continued surge for demand to rising wages in the United

States and a weaker peso that makes the labor market in the Philippines attractive to multinational firms.

Demand for Office space in the Philippines reached 1.5 million square meters as of end of 2018. Metro Manila

had the biggest demand at 1.16 million sqm according to a report by Leechui Property Consultants.

For those outside Metro Manila, Clark saw the largest office demand at 156,000 sqm., with land values

reaching up to PHP1000,000 per sqm.

O2. Strong demand for residential units

Demand remains strong. In 2018, the take-up of pre-sold condominium units throughout Metro Manila,

including fringe locations, reached 54,000 units – surpassing the previous record-high of 52,600 units in 2017,

according to Colliers International. This was mainly due to strong demand from starting families and young

professionals and the influx of Mainland Chinese in the Philippines. Household formation has increased by an

average of 3% every year in the past five years.


46

With a growing population and Chinese tourist flocking the country, the prices of residential units in the Metro

Manila have surged as a direct result.

In 2018 ALI spent PHP 47.4 billion pesos of its CAPEX in construction and expansion of its residential

business. In 2018 alone, ALI launched 48 projects under its residential brands Ayala Premier, Alveo, Avida,

Amaia, and BellaVita. The total value for these projects was PHP139.4 billion.

47

Colliers analysts sees that the food and beverage (F&B) segment as the major driver of retail space occupancy

in Metro Manila. They note opportunities in home furnishings especially with the entry of major foreign brands

and increased completion of condominium units across Metro Manila.

F&B spending in the country grows by nearly 6% per annum, primarily driven by money sent in by Overseas

Filipino Workers (OFWs) and the business process outsourcing (BPO) workforce, mainly composed of

millennial employees with relatively high purchasing power. Data from the Philippine central bank reveals that

OFW remittances reached USD21.2 billion in the first eight months of the year, up 2.4% YoY.

O4. Consistent tourism growth

Latest data from the Department of Tourism show that foreign tourist arrivals in 2018 reached a record-

lag behind its Asian neighbors in terms of tourist arrivals and average daily rates, but the push to attract more

tourists by investing in better infrastructure and with the implementation programs to support the objective should

support growth both in the average daily arrival rates and hotel occupancy from 2019 to 2021 (The Philippines

Star, n.d.). Colliers encourages developers to establish more homegrown brands; landbank near airports that

are due for modernization; explore air service agreement opportunities; and monitor tourism projects

implemented by relevant government agencies.

O5. Government BBB program

Government Spending is going to be the biggest growth factor in the coming years. It is important that property

developers design and plan out towards the direction of Government lead infrastructure projects. The “BBB”

project will create new demands and open new markets that will make significant changes in the real estate

industry.
49

In the second half of 2019, government spending in the Philippines improved from 252372.79 PHP Million in the

first half of 2019 to 327068.78 PHP Million.

Government spending in the Philippines from 1981 to 2019 averaged 119414.76 PHP Million, achieving an all-

time high of 327068.78 PHP Million in the second half of 2019 and a record low of 62728.31 PHP Million in the

first half of 1986.

ALI has built its estates among the main thoroughfares in the Metro Manila. Its proliferation of projects is seen

mostly in Makati City and BGC and a number in Quezon City. These are also parts of the route that new subway

system is going to hit. However, ALI needs to put more effort in taking advantage of the Government’s

12 months. This type of industry took off later in Asia than it had in US, UK, and the European market but the

supply of flexible workspace is said to have increased to over 50% in some APAC market. This rise made Asia

up to date with the other international market’s status.

According to a study about the coworking conditions in the Philippines conducted by Santos Knight Frank, Inc.

69% of multinational companies are planning to increase their use of coworking spaces, 80% are expecting to

grow their current collaborative spaces over the next three years, and 44% said that they will allot a fifth of their

office space as flexible spaces and they see this as a trend in the next three to five years.

Threats

T1. Growing intensity among competitors

Despite positive trends occurring in the real estate industry in the Philippines, due to the centralized design of

Metro Manila, space and developable land is becoming scarce. This puts real estate players in a competitive

match to lock in strategic land banks both inside and now, outside of Metro Manila.

A large part of real estate developer’s success in the Philippines is hinged on its ability to conduct strategic

land banking.

As it is, Ayala Land is the biggest and currently the number real estate developer in the country, however it

needs to be committed to continuous improvement to maintain its hold as number 1.

T2. Slow PEZA release

PEZA proclamations have direct effects on one of the real estate’s strongest grow drivers; BPO’s and KPO’s.

concentrate on BPOs or KPOs. Also, looking outside of Metro Manila for new PEZA proclamations should be on

priority.

T3. Interest Hikes

Interests rates ended at 4.75% at the end of the year in 2018. Increasing interess rates directly has an effect

on highly leveraged industries such as the real estate industry. In order to fun massive projects, real estate

developers need to secure big long-term loans that should be at low interest rates.

Ayala Land’s policy-based decision for securing long-term, fixed-rate, and local currency debt allowed it to

weather the economic headwinds posed by rising interest rates and volatile foreign exchange markets in 2018.

According to a World Economic Forum (WEF) report, the real estate is not only affected by climate change but

also plays a major role in managing it. Implications point to changes in regulations that govern the entire

industry in the effort to curtail climate change.

“Global socioeconomic forces will make the environmental impact of real estate sector even more important in

the future. By most projections, by 2030, the global population will exceed 8 billion and over 60 percent of the

world’s population (4.9 billion people) will be living in urban environments,” the WEF report stated.

Ayala Land conducted technical due diligence and environmental scanning for fault lines and possible flooding,

in all its properties and adjacent areas in 2018 according to its annual report. This shows ALI’s commitment to

activities surrounding climate change.

one. As it is, the mission statement continues the thoughts established by the Vision statement and lays out the

“How” of achieving the Vision.

over the country, we strive to continually elevate the quality of life for all of our customers.

Recommended Company Mission Statement

The recommended company mission not only adds the idea of using technology to the statement but involves it

in two important portions in the statement. “Tech-infused” is mentioned along with their core business model.

Involving technology in this aspect is not only important, but essential in order to remain competitive in the current

digitally transforming business environment.


59

Another addition is in the third paragraph where employees are being empowered. A key aspect of real estate

where Technology can have a massive impact is in the work force. Better productivity through improved efficiency

and automation will have massive implications for the real estate workforce and eventually will be a central part

of any real estate company’s core functions.

“By developing integrated, masterplanned, tech-infused and sustainable mixed-use communities in vibrant

growth centers all over the country, we strive to continually elevate the quality of life for all of our customers.

Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) Matrix


Strengths

Strength #1 – Strategic Land Bank

The company is well established in CBD’s, it has 40% of it’s Total Net Income coming from Makati Central

Business District, BGC and Arca. Combined they represent PHP 11.68 billion of ALI’s net income in 2018.

Of all twenty-two CBD’s in the Philippines, the company has properties in thirteen.

Strength #2 – Has a broad product portfolio Solid Track Record of Building Large-Scale, Integrated, Mixed-Use,

and Sustainable Estates

Rating 4 - ALI’s set of products and services is one of the widest and most diverse in the industry. Its investments

range from property development and leasing, to transportation and property management.

ALI takes advantage of the synergy created from designing estates for mix-use. Ayala Land has products for

residential, shopping malls and offices to commit to the idea of live-work-play which is currently dictating design

trends in the real estate industry.

Strength #3 – Diversified Product Lines


79

Rating 4 - The company has an advantage of having its own construction firm; Makati Development Corp. Raw

materials and construction services are being sourced within Ayala Land’s parent company which is the Ayala

Corporation. This allows the company to have greater control over costs and quality of its construction initiatives.

Strength #4 – Highly Trusted Brand

Rating 4 - The advantages are, to name a few, the command for premium price because of the status of leader.

We can see that reflected in Ayala Land Premier, ALI’s premium residential brand, currently the single biggest

revenue contributor and the biggest in terms of size in the relative market with a revenue size of PHP 28 billion

and an capex valued at PHP 54.6 billion for 2018.

Other advantages are the ability to leverage economies of scale, consumer loyalty and awareness, overall more

exposure.

Strength #5 – Empowered Organization

Rating 4 – Ayala Land sees organizational development is a key for strategic growth. Ayala Land empowers its

employees by providing them a work environment that promotes personal fulfillment and professional

advancement. Compensation and benefits are based on experience and contributions to the growth of the

company. Ayala Land also makes sure to offer competitive industry rates to retain the best employees.

Strength #6 – Strong Balance Sheet

Rating 4 - Access to capital is one the most critical factors in the real estate development business. Ayala Land

is strongly positioned in terms of funding capacity. It has managed favorable long-term debt agreements with

very favorable interest rates and long-term amortization schedules.

Currently, ALI’s total borrowing is at PHP 187.1 billion and 92% of it is long term debt at PHP172.7 billion.
80

Weaknesses
Weaknesses #1 – High employee attrition rate of 12.69% versus 4.99% for the entire industry.

Rating 1 – Employee attrition is disruptive the business. It increases costs through the need to hire replacements,

costs associated to training new hires to reach functional competence and the intangible asset of employee

expertise that’s built from years of experience and business familiarity.

ALI has been able to lower its attrition rate in the last 3 years from a high of 13.57% to its current of 12.69.

Ayala Land has put in measures to curb attrition by conducting organizational climate surveys to determine

employee engagement rates and address concerns, empowerment of employees and professional development

possibilities.

Included in ALI’s initiatives are setting up the proper policies such as succession planning, transfers,

organizational structure design and spearheading retention programs.

Weaknesses #2 – Predominantly invested in upper market segments with a considerably weaker presence in

the low to socialized market segments.

Rating 2 - ALI’s strongly represented in the luxury market segment under residential products. This is good on

its own yet there is an opportunity cost incurred from not taking advantage of opportunities in other market

segments.

Currently BellaVista is Ayala Land’s brand in approaching the economic market segments, Amaia is its brand for

the low middle market segment. These two businesses represent PHP1.15 billion and PHP7.36 billion in

revenues respectively. Given ALI’s state, it can afford to explore new opportunities to increase market share in

these market segments in light of the extreme housing backlog.

Weaknesses #3 – Limited use of new and available technology relevant to the business
81

Rating 1 - For its size and status, ALI has yet to migrate to cloud services. It is currently in the pipeline to migrate

from on-premise solutions over to cloud based solutions, however the technology has been around for more than

a decade.

On premise solutions mean ALI has yet to take advantage of unique features from cloud solutions. One is access

to scalable computational speed and space. As systems and applications grow in complexity along with the

nature of the business, on-premise solutions become more expensive since the technological infrastructure

would have to be upgraded to keep up. Not so in cloud computing, in fact, such computational platforms can

fully accommodate growth in size and sophistication of enterprise wide data architectures.

its goals.

Key strategic challenge and recommended corporate strategic objectives

Strategic Objective:

Ayala Land’s strategic objective is to secure its position as market leader in the Philippine real estate industry

and to widen the gap between itself and its competitors by continuing aggressive market development strategies

such as building large-scale, mixed use integrated communities. Specifically, the strategic objective is intended

to be achieved by increasing gross leasable area with the construction of new shopping malls and office buildings

and by directly focusing on operational capacity to address the massive housing supply gap in the lower market

segments that promises tremendous returns and growth potential.

Financial Objective:

Furthermore, Ayala Land is expanding its service businesses, with external contracts accounting for an

increasing share of its services income.

Ayala Land aims to maintain its CAGR of 17 – 20% annually, to reach 40 billion net income by 2022

Recommended Strategies

Market Penetration Strategy 1: Increase Office GLA

Ayala Land’s current Office GLA is 1.11 million sqm, the lease is on average PHP755/sqm/month. The

revenue that it adds to the total is up to PHP8.61 billion, a 29% increase from the previous year. Expanding its

Office GLA has been ALI’s priority among other things over the last 5 years where its shows an average growth

of 8.5% year on year.

The current demand for Office space is still outpacing the supply. In 2018, the current uptake for office

space was at 450,000 sqm annually. At the current rate of supply, only about 120,000 to 150,000 sqm is available

for companies to occupy, leaving much to be desired. The continues growth of the office space market is a sign

that further developments by Ayala Land in this direction is merited.

CAPEX requirement for continued construction and expansion for 2019 is PHP7.8 billion which is 6% of the total

PHP130 billion CAPEX for the year.

Market Penetration Strategy 1: Create new Vertical Residential Units

Colliers expects a supply gap for vertical residential units, this put merit for property developers like Ayala

Land to pursue a more aggressive and strategic landbanking.

The demand will be coming from new locations as a result of the government’s new initiatives. More

specifically, Colliers points to Quezon City, Ortigas Center, Manila Bay Area and the so-called fringe areas for

potential development for residential property. Real estate firms should likewise maximize the potential

opportunities arising from the government’s “Build, Build, Build” initiative.

A main point of interest is the Manila subway and its overall effect. It will have the first three stations in

Quezon City—Mindanao Avenue, Tandang Sora and North Avenue and with it are opportunities for Ayala Land

to take advantage of in its pursuit to expand its residential business.


91

Ayala Land’s business revenue is deeply hinged in its residential brands. Total revenues for its residential

business topped PHP94.63 billion in 2018.

CAPEX requirement for continued construction and expansion for 2019 is PHP53.3 billion which is 41% of the

total PHP130 billion CAPEX for the year.

Market Penetration Strategy 3: Build more shopping malls to increase GLA

Current total GLA for ALI’s shopping mall business was at 1.90 million sqm. Its average occupancy rate

was at 89%. The average rent ALI earns from its shopping mall business is P1,073/sqm/month, and in 2018 the

revenues it contributed was at PHP19.91 billion.

On the other hand, analysts and industry observers are noting growth in the retail space. Average

vacancy registered at around 3.0% across Metro Manila. The demand is coming from foreign brands entering

the Philippine market. The main drive, specifically, is from the food and beverage industry that lead 2018’s market

demand. Fast fashion brands in the like of clothing and apparel, shoes and bags also dominated the retail market

Since a large sum of ALI’s revenues are hinged in its shopping mall revenue, this positive growth trend should

be pursued.

CAPEX requirement for continued construction and expansion for 2019 is PHP15.6 billion which is 12% of the

total PHP130 billion CAPEX for the year.

Market Penetration Strategy 4: Increase Hotel Rooms

Ayala Land Hotels and resorts has 2,973 units as of 2018 yearend, with an additional 3,096 units under

construction. Total revenue for ALI’s operations under this brand increased by 14%, to reach PHP6.39 billion

from previous year’s P5.62 billion.


92

According to reports, the Philippines received an estimated 7.1 million tourists in 2018. It is expected to

grow up to about 6 to 7% every year in the next 5 years. It means that the demand for hotel rooms is expected

to increase as well. With this rising demand, other players in the construction, casino and resorts, transportation,

and many more all over the country and abroad can take advantage of this growing market.

The main demand for hotel units is coming from Paranaque where it commands the highest occupancy,

this the result of demand coming from casino gamers and pushed further by its proximity to NAIA, the end result

is an occupancy rate of about 90% up. Other areas including Makati and BGC are also positively affected by

this.

CAPEX requirement for continued construction and expansion for 2019 is PHP6.5 billion which is 5% of the total

PHP130 billion CAPEX for the year.

Market Penetration Strategy 5: Increase GLA for co-living and co-working spaces

JLL noted the trend for co-living and co-working concepts in the Philippines as early as 2017. The attractiveness

of the idea for young Filipinos comes from four appealing factors; convenience, cost, community and

collaboration. The Philippine co-living market is evident through the presence of dormitels, a combination of a

dorm and hotel services that young professionals consider due to affordability, location, convenience, and safety.

The main drivers that fuel the demand for these concepts are the shifting nature of remote work and demand for

affordable housing.

Ayala Land’s the Flats and Clock In are its two brands to take advantage of this growing trend. There is merit

now to expand these businesses not only because of the demand from users but also the availability of

developable land in the Metro Manila. These factors are forcing real estate developers to be more efficient in its

use of available land.


93

CAPEX requirement for Strategy 5 which refers to expansion and continued operation is PHP 500 million which

is 0.3% of the total PHP130 billion CAPEX for the year.

Market Penetration Strategy 6: Invest in New Industrial Warehouses and innovative logistics technology

The end of 2018 saw massive growth in the ecommerce in the Philippines. A report by Statista said that

the Philippine e-commerce market revenue grew to $840 million or about P44 trillion in 2018 from $688 million

or about P36 trillion in 2017. Revenue is expected to grow about 10.5% annually leading to a market volume of

$996 million dollars or about P53 trillion pesos by 2019.

All that activity will greatly affect the Warehousing industry in the Philippines. Colliers reports the demand

for industrial warehouses is partly driven by a thriving e-commerce market. Personal consumption has also been

growing steadily which propels the demand for fast-moving consumer goods. The efficient delivery of goods

requires an efficient logistics network.

ALI currently has 136,874 sqm total GLA for standard factory building and warehousing across multiple

locations.

CAPEX requirement for continued construction and expansion for 2019 is PHP 500 million which is 0.3% of the

total PHP130 billion CAPEX for the year.

Market Penetration Strategy 7: Secure land banking areas surrounding the planned subway station.

There are areas that are directly in the path of the planned MRT-7 and its stations which are located in

Quezon City. There is a total of 13 stations situated all over Quezon City that will have great effect in the

surrounding areas that Ayala Land should secure for land banking.

Colliers sees a spot as ideal for townships. The area around the North Avenue station is prime land for

townships since it’s in the middle of interconnecting mass transportation systems. While the stations in Tandang

Sora will be providing residential support to offices in the North Avenue station.
94

Colliers also sees North Avenue as a practical choice for hotel projects as it sees it capturing demand

from Northern Metro Manila and nearby provinces such as Bulacan.

Colliers expects massive redevelopment in the area around Anonas station as a result of the new

developments including improved access to it. The overall effect Colliers is expecting in the rea is the need for

more low to mid-rise residential condominiums and shophouse retail projects and some room for middle- to

upper-middle class condominium projects. The East Avenue station would be a feasible location for more

institutional projects such as schools and hospitals while the Quezon Avenue station should serve as an

extension of commercial activities along North Avenue. Lastly, Colliers doesn’t see much potential for Katipunan

due to limited developable land.

CAPEX requirement for Strategy 7 in 2019 is PHP 19.5 billion which is 15% of the total PHP130 billion CAPEX

for the year.

Contingency Plan
b. Factors and Action Plan

Factors Proposed Action Plan


ALI should implement solutions from a technological
standpoint and an administrative standpoint to directly
address cyber security breaches defined as unauthorized
Cyber Security access to sensitive data with risk. Regular penetration testing
should be undergone on top of continuous updating of
security protocols and communicating it throughout the
company.

ALI should ensure its workers and supervisors have adequate


training in all areas of their responsibility. They should
particularly be update to date in standard operating
procedures in performing operationally critical or hazardous
activities.

Mandatory training for safety that occurs right before the


Product and Service Quality start of a hazardous task should be top priority. This also
and Safety Risk includes making sure officers who oversee safety perform
their duties even if it means overriding their superiors,
especially when standard safety measures are being
circumvented.

Improving the system in place for overseeing all permits for


heal and safety, including licenses, should be a top priority.
This is especially essential in ensuring MDC can perform its
work
118

Scheduling and planning regarding project timelines should


be through rigid standards and improvement loops in order
to achieve higher efficiencies in operations. A continuous
improvement of how each business unit interact and
operate together as well as with external partners such as
suppliers should be pursued.

ALI should grow its contractor base by tapping lower local


Project Execution and Timely suppliers enrolled with the Philippine Contractor's
Delivery Risk, and Partnership Accreditation Board. Proper choice of qualified vendors,
and Alliances Risk distributors and subcontractors, certified by the relevant
agencies, should guarantee that project managers engage
with only skilled, licensed and competent sellers, distributors
and subcontractors.
Improve self-performance and the capacity for self-
manufacturing to improve quality control and speed of
development. ALI should look to continuous cooperation
with appropriate government agencies.
Continuous on-site inspections, activities and documents of
partners and suppliers should be carried under strict
compliance.

Undertake effective property acquisition and development


operations at main growth centers, intensively increase
recurring revenues through the use mixed-use model,
streamline consumer offers and differentiate client needs,
enhance value-for-money and cost-production to maintain
Risk of Being Marginalized by competitiveness, enhance product quality and guarantee
Competitors timely delivery.
ALI should also continue working closely with the Philippine
Competition Commission (PCC) on anti-competitive
strategies, including reporting on incidents where collusion
with prospective rivals, monopolies and price fixing is
involved.
