Massive Miami electronic-music fest up in air on virus concerns

PLANS FOR the Ultra Music Festival, one of the world’s biggest electronic-music events, were in flux Wednesday after Miami Mayor Francis Suarez met with the organizers over mounting coronavirus concerns.

Speaking after the meeting, Suarez promised an announcement on Friday.

“I would say there’s resolution, but there’s some loose ends that need to be tightened,” Suarez told reporters in Miami.

The three-day event, set to begin on March 20, drew 170,000 attendees from 105 countries last year. Founded in 1999, it’s scheduled to be held at Miami’s downtown Bayfront Park with a lineup that includes Flume, Martin Garrix, and Zedd.

Carlos Gimenez, the mayor of Miami-Dade County — which includes the city of Miami — tweeted Wednesday after Suarez’s remarks that nothing had changed thus far.

The multibillion-dollar concert business is already feeling the impact of the coronavirus. Acts such as BTS, Avril Lavigne, and the National have all canceled shows, but few of the summer’s biggest festivals have announced changes to their schedules. Coachella, one of the largest music festivals in North America, is still scheduled for two weekends in April.

The fallout will be temporary, according to Michael Rapino, chief executive officer of concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment Inc. “The show is not going away,” he said on an investor call on Feb. 27, speaking of concerts in general.

Some users on Twitter wondered what they’d do with their hotel reservations and tickets if the Ultra Music Festival ends up being canceled.

“Cancel all you want,” goes one Tweet by joel massey (@joeldmassey). “Thousands will be there in Miami unless Miami plans to refund our flight and hotel. Instead of being in bay park I’ll now get to explore all Miami has to offer. See you all in 16 days.” — Bloomberg

ICTSI income dips 52% after one-off charges

PROFITS of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) last year plunged 52% to $100.4 million, attributable to non-recurring charges recorded during the period.

In a statement yesterday, the Razon-led port operator said its attributable net income last year was pulled by non-recurring charges amounting to $158.7 million. This tempered the 7% rise in revenues to $1.5 billion.

The bulk of the non-recurring charges are the $156-million impairment charges from the company’s operations of the Tecplata S.A terminal in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was a result of lower projected cash flows in the terminal due to an updated business plan to address the “prevailing and challenging economic conditions in Argentina.”

The balance of the charges is the $2.7-million charge on the acceleration of the company’s debt issue cost, following its partial prepayment of its euro-denominated term loan.

Without the non-recurring gains and charges, ICTSI’s recurring net income last year grew 23% to $259.1 million.

The single-digit rise in revenues is due to a 5% increase in consolidated volume at 10.18 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). This is mainly from new terminals in Papua New Guinea and Brazil; improved activity in Subic, Congo and Iraq; and new shipping contracts in Australia, Poland, Croatia, Georgia and Mexico.

Consolidated cash expenses recorded a 3% uptick to $464.2 million, largely from the increase in volume handled, salary rate adjustments and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.

“ICTSI delivered a positive performance in 2019 with revenue and EBITDA increasing by 7% and 10%, respectively,” ICTSI Chairman Enrique K. Razon, Jr. said in the statement.

He noted, however, that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is challenging its volumes, especially in operations in Asia.

“[W]e are closely reviewing developments across the regions in which we operate. Whilst we cannot be certain how long this situation will last; we are seeking to mitigate this impact through rigorous cost control and increasing market share,” Mr. Razon said.

“ICTSI is an agile business and able to act swiftly to ensure the business remains robust during these uncertain times,” he added.

The company is allocating $270 million for capital expenditures (capex) this year, which it will use for the expansion of its terminals in Manila, Mexico and Congo. It spent $240.8 million in capex last year, 63% of its allocation of $380 million.

Shares in ICTSI at the stock exchange fell 60 centavos or 0.57% to P105.10 apiece on Thursday. — Denise A. Valdez

Taylor Swift is best-selling global artist in 2019

LOS ANGELES — Pop superstar Taylor Swift topped the list of the world’s best-selling music artists in 2019, thanks to the success of her album Lover, beating popular acts including Korean pop sensation BTS, recording industry group IFPI said on Monday.

It was the second time the 30-year-old singer-songwriter had led recorded music sales globally. The first was in 2014 when she debuted her album 1989.

Lover was Swift’s 7th studio album and included hits such as the title track, a ballad, and the upbeat single “ME!”

Just behind Swift in the 2019 rankings was British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, followed by rapper Post Malone, and teen singer Billie Eilish who swept the top Grammy Awards in January.

Queen, the rock band formed in London in 1970, landed in 5th place. The group’s music enjoyed resurgence after the release of the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

BTS, the popular South Korean boy band, finished in 7th place. — Reuters

D&L Industries profit down 18% to P2.6 billion as sales fall

By Denise A. Valdez
Reporter

EARNINGS of D&L Industries, Inc. (D&L) slumped 18% in 2019, dragged by lower sales due to the late passage of the national budget and the rise in inflation and interest rates.

In a briefing in Makati City yesterday, the Lao-led manufacturing firm reported a net income of P2.62 billion last year, down from P3.19 billion in the year prior.

Sales dropped 16% to P22.39 billion, weighed by declines in revenues across its four business segments: food ingredients (-10%), oleochemicals and other specialty chemicals (-29%), specialty plastics (-11%), and aerosols (-6%).

Of last year’s net income, the non-food business of D&L recorded the biggest decrease: the chemicals segment tumbled 35% due to lower biodiesel sales, and the plastics segment fell 18% due to the weak global auto industry and indirect effects of the trade war.

“It was pretty much consistent with what happened in the first nine months. We talked about the factors that affected our net income: late passage of the budget, inflation and interest rates going up… But in 2020 wala na lahat ’yan [all of those are gone],” D&L President and Chief Executive Officer Alvin D. Lao said.

He noted, however, that the new challenge this year is the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. “Lahat positive sana eh [Everything was supposed to be positive]. But unfortunately, coronavirus may cause more risk for us. We’re now unable to really say what the outlook is for the year,” Mr. Lao said.

But unlike other firms that may be taking a harder hit from the outbreak, Mr. Lao said D&L is relatively less dependent from China, with exports to the country comprising only about 2% of its total revenues, and imports of raw materials about 10%.

He added that the supplies D&L gets from China can easily be substituted with alternatives from other parts of Asia such as Malaysia, Thailand and India.

“Even if we lose China as a market temporarily, it looks like we’ll gain some share also. For example, a car manufacturing company that shuts down operations in China may start buying from (other countries). So we might get business from there,” Mr. Lao said.

He noted D&L has competitors from across its four business segments that are more reliant on China, so the company expects to benefit from the customers of these rivals. “It looks like we’ll be able to gain market share by grabbing back customers who are not able to source raw materials from China,” he said.

D&L currently holds a 40% market share in high margin specialties food ingredients and 15-20% for commodity food ingredients. For chemicals, its market share is 40% for the high margin specialties and around 15-20% for commodities.

It also has more than 50% share in the specialty plastics business, and more than 80% in the domestically made aerosol business.

“At the end of the day, people still have to eat, still need to live in a house, drive a car, have appliances. Fundamentally, I don’t feel it’s that bad,” Mr. Lao said about the possible impact of COVID-19 to D&L.

The company is allocating P6 billion for capital expenditures through 2021, which will fund the construction of its 26-hectare facility in Batangas. Its spending last year reached P1.55 billion, up from P456 million in 2018.

Shares in D&L at the stock exchange closed P7.05 apiece on Thursday, down 39 centavos or 5.24% from the previous session.

DMCI Holdings posts 27% profit fall

CONSUNJI-LED DMCI Holdings, Inc. posted a 27% decline in consolidated net income to P10.5 billion in 2019 after its coal mining and power unit turned in lower contributions last year and a one-time goodwill impairment charge for a mine investment, it said on Thursday.

In a disclosure to the stock exchange, the diversified engineering conglomerate said its core net income dropped by 14% to P12.4 billion, excluding the non-recurring loss of P1.9 billion, mostly coming from the non-cash goodwill impairment.

In the fourth quarter alone, consolidated earnings fell 70% to P1.2 billion, largely because of a 47% reduction in earnings contribution from Semirara Mining and Power Corp. (SMPC) and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of P1.6 billion for the Acoje mine assets of Zambales Diversified Metals Corp. (ZDMC) and Zambales Chromite Mining Co. (ZCMC).

“Market conditions and regulatory restrictions no longer support our original valuation of ZDMC and ZCMC so the Board decided to write-off the goodwill associated with these investments,” said DMCI Holdings Chairman and President Isidro A. Consunji in a statement.

Excluding non-recurring items, fourth-quarter core net income decreased by 25% to P3.1 billion.

ZCMC was idle in 2019 as it lacked the required permits to start operating. ZDMC was unable to resume full commercial production because of the absence of ancillary permits in other areas.

DMCI Holdings bought the two companies in 2014 when mid-grade nickel prices averaged $49. In 2019, the average selling price of mid-grade nickel plunged 45% to $27, reducing the saleable resource.

Last year, SMPC’s core net income fell 23% to P5.7 billion as power generation and average coal prices both decreased by 22%.

DMCI Homes faced a marked slowdown in project construction, resulting in a 4% drop in earnings contribution to P3 billion.

Affiliate company Maynilad Water Services, Inc. posted a 4% slide in net income contributions to P1.8 billion after higher amortization and depreciation expenses for its capital expenditure program.

D.M. Consunji, Inc. posted a 25% slump in net income share to P906 million with the absence of significant realized claims and savings from projects nearing completion.

In contrast, DMCI Power Corp.’s earnings contribution climbed by 31% to P611 million after the approval of a P1.13 per kilowatt-hour adjustment on its non-fuel tariff for its Aborlan power plant in Palawan.

An 82% rise in nickel shipment boosted DMCI Mining’s core earnings by 56% to P182 million.

Contributions from DMCI Holdings and other investments dipped by 6% to P223 million after a decline in interest income.

On Thursday, shares in DMCI Holdings dropped by 0.56% to close at P5.29 each.

Is your music making you deaf?

AT THE HEIGHT of their music careers, Mark McGrath and Huey Lewis had number one hits, top-selling albums, and jam-packed live tours across America and the world. McGrath, lead singer of alternative rock group Sugar Ray, is the voice behind popular 1990s songs “Every Morning” and “Someday,” while Lewis, who fronted the ’80s band Huey Lewis and the News, sang such pop hits as “Hip to be Square,” “Do You Believe In Love,” and “The Power of Love.”

Today, both singers are going deaf, a consequence of being constantly exposed to loud music during their heyday as rock stars. “It’s years and years and years of being on the road and being two feet in front of cymbals and drums, (high) frequencies,” McGrath told Daily Mail TV. Lewis, who was diagnosed with the inner ear disorder Meniere’s disease, told Vanity Fair, “I can’t hear music. It’s hard enough to hear speech. But music is impossible. The music is cacophony for me and now my hearing fluctuates.”

But you don’t have to be in a rock band to lose your hearing. Many people listen to music for hours at full blast through ear buds plugged into smart phones. Starting with a tolerable level, they slowly pump up the volume once their ears become desensitized. Before long, they are experiencing temporary hearing loss. Repeated long-term exposure to blaring music can result in tinnitus, an annoying ringing in the ears. It can also damage part of the inner ear or cochlea, resulting in permanent hearing loss.

Once a person loses their hearing, there’s no getting it back. Makati Medical Center’s ENT Center, the Dr. Ariston G. Bautista Center, suggests ways to prevent noise-induced hearing loss while still enjoying music.

• Lower the volume. “The best way to avoid noise-induced hearing loss is to decrease the volume of what you’re listening to,” Joseph Ray Richard R. Cedeño, MD, points out. How to know when loud is too loud? “If you’re listening to music on your ear buds or headphones and can’t hear what a person talking to you from arm’s length is saying, then that’s too loud,” he says.

• Limit your listening time. “Instead of listening to loud music for hours on your ear buds, take breaks every 30 minutes to allow your ears to rest,” says Dr. Cedeño. “You can also observe the 60-60 rule: Don’t go over 60% of the maximum volume for any longer than 60 minutes.”

• Invest in the right ear buds or headphones. “Noise-canceling earphones block out external sounds that interfere with your music,” says Dr. Cedeño. “With these type of earphones, you don’t have to increase the volume of your smart phone because your favorite songs will sound clearer.” Consider using over-the-ear headphones instead of in-ear or ear-plug-style models, too, says. “Over-the-ear headphones put distance between your inner ear and the speaker, sparing you from too-loud music,” Dr. Cedeño explains.

• Care for your ears. On its own, the ear is a self-cleansing organ that produces wax to prevent dust and harmful particles from getting into its inner parts. Still, it helps to treat it with tender loving care. “Instead of cotton swabs, use a damp towel to gently clean excess wax around the canal,” says Dr. Cedeño. “Towel-dry your ears after showering or swimming, as too much moisture in the ears attracts bacteria, which could attack the ear canal. If water gets into your ears after a dip in the pool or beach, simply tilt your head to the side and tug at your ear lobe to let the water out.”

“Exercise is also a good way to keep our ears in shape,” he adds. “Cardiovascular workouts like running, walking, and cycling get the blood pumping to all parts of the body, including the ears, keeping them healthy and working well.”

Imported car sales fall 16% as virus, ash fall add to challenges

IMPORTED vehicle sales in January dropped 16% because of the Taal volcano ashfall and the new coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Association of Vehicle Importers and Distributors Inc. (AVID) said in a report on Thursday.

AVID said sales of the 25 car companies it represents fell to 5,433 units in January, from 6,482 in the same month last year.

“2020 will be a very challenging year for the industry given the slowdown in automotive demand, supply chain disruptions, and dampened consumer confidence caused by these twin events,” AVID President Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo said.

“Fortunately, the Philippine economy remains strong backed by robust public spending, private consumption, and lower interest rates.”

The Taal ash fall caused temporary closures in automotive dealerships and facilities in the National Capital Region and Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) for several days in January.

Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. (HARI) on Tuesday said that COVID-19 may have also caused conservative spending for big-ticket items such as vehicles as consumers stay at home.

AVID said passenger car sales fell by 31% to 1,553 units in January from 2,258 in the same month last year, led by HARI’s sales of 967 units. Hyundai’s sales in this segment fell 33% from 1,443 a year earlier.

Suzuki Philippines sales in this segment came in second even as the units sold fell 41% to 353 units from 602, while Ford Group Philippines Inc. sales grew 185% to 117 from 41.

Light commercial vehicle sales declined 7.3% to 3,855 units from 4,157. Ford led with 1,357 units sold, falling 22% from 1,749 a year earlier.

Suzuki sales in this segment grew 62% to 1,122 units from 694, while Hyundai sales fell 20% to 1,053 from 1,315.

Commercial vehicle sales, accounted for by Hyundai vehicles, fell 63% to 25 units from 67 a year earlier.

The January sales results spelt continued decline from the imported vehicle industry. Data from last year showed January 2019 sales had fallen around 25% from the same month in 2018.

Full-year 2019 sales dipped by 0.5% to 87,984 vehicles, from an updated 88,430 units the year before.

The drop in 2018 was deeper at 16.8% as the industry felt the impact of high inflation rates and new tax hikes.

Ms. Perez-Agudo said she was confident AVID members would be able to adapt and make up for losses in the coming months.

“We are no strangers to adversity and disruptions. As we have done in the past 10 years of AVID’s existence, our members remain resolute to provide better vehicles, better services, and better customer experiences to Filipinos everywhere,” she said. — Jenina P. Ibañez

Recruitment agencies ordered to monitor health of workers in Hong Kong, Macau

THE PHILIPPINE Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) directed all recruitment agencies to monitor the health of their workers deployed to Hong Kong and Macau as those territories deal with the coronavirus outbreak from China.

POEA Memorandum Circular No. 4 series of 2020, dated March 2, ordered all licensed Philippine recruitment agencies (PRA) to “provide advice and strictly monitor the health conditions of their deployed workers to Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) and Macau SAR.”

Earlier last month, President Rodrigo R. Duterte approved the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases to impose a travel ban to and from China, Macau, and Hong Kong. This ban was later partially lifted for the two SARs, allowing only the entry of Filipino workers employed there, students, and permanent residents.

The recruitment agencies should advise their workers of precautionary health measures they need to take, and to report emergency cases.

“A monitoring system should be generated by each deploying PRA to take into consideration the seriousness of the disease and the OFW’s immediate need for medical assistance,” according to the Memorandum.

In case OFWs show symptoms or are infected, the PRA must file a report to the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) and the Philippine consulate within three days of receiving a case report. — Gillian M. Cortez

DBP targets to grow loan book to P419B, assets to over P800B

DEVELOPMENT BANK of the Philippines (DBP) is looking to grow its loan portfolio to P419 billion and breach the P800-billion mark for its asset base this year as the bank aims to reach P1 trillion in assets by 2022.

Citing a report from DBP, the Department of Finance said the state-owned bank targets to increase its loan portfolio by 1.19% to P419 billion this year from the P414.06 billion it recorded in 2019. Last year’s level rose 25.88% from the end-2018 total.

“The bank surpassed all its key financial targets in 2019 and recorded substantial growth against the 2018 financial figures,” DBP President and CEO Emmanuel G. Herbosa was quoted as saying in a statement on Thursday. “We are consistently doing what we are mandated to do, which is, to expand our portfolio in the infrastructure sector.”

The bank also expects its assets to grow by seven percent to end this year with P817 billion from P762.17 billion it had last year, and increase this by around 10% annually to reach its P1-trillion goal by 2022.

Of its total assets last year, 54% or P414.06 billion were in loans, the 27.1% or P206.56 billion were invested in treasuries and other ventures, while the remaining 18.57% or P141.55 billion were “investments in other assets.”

After seeing its net profit expand by 5.94% to P6.06 billion in 2019, the bank said it plans to increase this to P6.1 billion this year as well as grow its gross income to P35 billion from last year’s P32.87 billion.

Meanwhile, the bank wants to expand its total deposits by 7.09% to P594 billion this year from P554.63 billion previously.

DBP also wants to grow its capital by 4.5% to P63 billion from P60.29 billion last year.

Mr. Herbosa said due to the bank’s developmental lending nature, its return on assets at 0.85% and return of equity at 10.82% currently compares to the industry’s 1.14% and 10.6% averages, respectively.

“This is also reflected in our higher nonperforming loan ratio of 2.37% as against the industry’s 1.88%. Thus, margins are not as high as the others and [DBP] takes a little more risk,” he said.

“We will continue to help spur the development of micro, small and medium enterprises, assist the newly formed Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as well as the rest of Mindanao, and forge partnerships in fintech (financial technology) to increase manpower productivity and the digitalization of our operations,” he added.

The bank’s mandate is to provide credit to sectors deemed strategic by the government, especially to infrastructure sector. — Beatrice M. Laforga

NIA ties up with hydropower developers for five projects

THE National Irrigation Administration (NIA) has partnered with hydroelectric power plant developers to build five facilities, including three in Mindanao, to maximize the use of existing reservoirs.

In a statement on Thursday, the state-led agency said it had signed five separate memoranda of understanding (MoU) with the developers.

Ricardo R. Visaya, NIA administrator, and Ruben B. Sumagang, president and chief executive officer of Renewable Development for Sustainable Growth Corp., signed the MoUs to develop three mini-hydroelectric power facilities in three areas in Mindanao.

The plants will be built in the Mal River Irrigation System (Mal RIS) Canal Stations in Matanao, Davao Del Sur; Andanan River Irrigation System (Andanan CIS) Canal in Agusan Del Sur; and Miral River Irrigation System (Miral RIS) Canal Stations in Bansalan, Davao Del Sur.

In a phone interview, Mr. Visaya said the MoUs on hydroelectric and floating solar power projects could provide additional sources of income for the government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC).

“Kailangan namin ’yan for additional income generation kasi GOCC kami. (We need that for additional income generation because we are a GOCC),” he added.

He said he wanted to optimize and maximize the use of existing dams and reservoirs, which NIA supervises and maintains.

“Ayaw natin masayang ’yung dams and reservoirs natin na pwede naman gamitin. (We don’t want our dams and reservoirs to go to waste),” Mr. Visaya said.

Meanwhile, MoUs between NIA and other hydropower developers have also been signed.

Joseph S. Yu, president and chief executive of SN Aboitiz Power-Magat, Inc., and Mr. Visaya agreed to develop a floating solar power project at the Magat reservoir in Ramon, Isabela.

An MoU was also signed between NIA and SunAsia Energy, Inc. President Theresa Cruz-Capellan for a floating solar power project at the Pantabangan reservoir in Nueva Ecija.

Revenues from the projects will go to NIA’s corporate operations budget. It will be used to improve the GOCC’s services.

Mr. Visaya also sees the potential of the hydropower plants as ecotourism spots.

“We are coordinating with local government units so that these hydropower plants and floating solar power projects can be shown to tourists,” he said. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
