Ayala to increase stake in the ubiquitous GCash

MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ayala Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiary AC Ventures Holding Corp. ("ACV"), will be increasing its ownership stake in Globe Fintech Innovations, Inc. ("Mynt"), the parent company of the #1 finance super app and digital cashless ecosystem in the Philippines.

In a disclosure released Thursday, Ayala announced that ACV signed a definitive agreement to acquire common shares from existing shareholders equivalent to an additional ~8% ownership stake in Mynt for approximately ₱22.9 billion. This transaction values Mynt at approximately ₱286.4 billion and increases Ayala's ownership in Mynt to ~13%.

Ayala's proposed increased investment in Mynt is part of its initiative to reallocate capital to clear business winners.

The increased stake in Mynt allows Ayala to benefit from GCash's strong long-term growth potential. The GCash platform, already dominant in the Philippines, has significant upside from untapped market opportunities. Mynt recorded net income of ₱6.7bn in 2023, thrice of what it was the previous year.

"We like the long-term growth prospects of Mynt. It is a clear leader in a fast growing space and a key contributor to the Philippines' economic growth. Mynt enables underserved Filipino consumer and business segments to thrive, " said Cezar Consing, President & CEO of Ayala Corporation.
