AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) recorded an 11% growth in net income to P780 million in 2021, boosted by steady demand for industrial lots and increased leasable areas.

Revenues rose 7% to P3.99 billion with revenues from industrial lot sales reaching P2.05 billion, 62% higher than the P1.27 billion in 2020, ALLHC said in a statement.

Warehouse leasing revenue was P404 million, up 16% from P348 million in the previous year. Commercial leasing revenue, on the other hand, contracted 20% to P419 million from P526 million due to quarantine restrictions during the year, the company said.

In 2021, ALLHC entered the cold storage market by acquiring two facilities, adding 7,300 pallet positions into its portfolio, and recognized revenue of P49 million from this new segment.
