A rough start, which gave way to a strong fin­ish in 2025, has giv­en the ANSA McAL group en­cour­age­ment that mo­men­tum is in their favour.

At the re­lease of ANSA McAL’s 2025 year-end fi­nan­cial re­sults at Samaan Es­tate on Tues­day, the group re­port­ed prof­its were back in the bil­lions. Group CEO An­tho­ny N Sab­ga III was con­fi­dent that the con­glom­er­ate was head­ing in the right di­rec­tion de­spite var­i­ous chal­lenges.

Over the past six months, sev­er­al ad­just­ments to gov­ern­ment poli­cies have di­rect­ly im­pact­ed the group’s op­er­a­tions and ex­pens­es. These in­clude the in­crease in ex­cise du­ties on al­co­hol and, more re­cent­ly, the de­ci­sion by state-owned Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny to hike nat­ur­al gas prices for man­u­fac­tur­ers.
