Telephone No.: +63-2-8831-10-00 Website: www.smprime.com This Prospectus relates to the shelf registration and each offer and sale in the Philippines within the Shelf Period as defined below (each an “Offer”) of Debt Securities with an aggregate principal amount of up to P100,000,000,000.00 by SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer” or “SM Prime” or the “Company”). The Debt Securities shall be issued in tranches within a period of three (3) years from the effective date of the Registration Statement of the Debt Securities, subject to applicable regulations (the “Shelf Period”). The offer and sale of the Debt Securities, including the terms and conditions for each tranche shall be at the sole discretion of the Company. The specific terms of the Debt Securities for each tranche will be determined by the Company considering the prevailing market conditions and shall be provided in a supplement to be circulated at the time of the offer of the relevant tranche (the “Offer Supplement”). For each tranche of the Debt Securities, the Company shall distribute an Offer Supplement along with this Prospectus. The relevant Offer Supplement will contain the final terms for an offer of the Debt Securities and must be read in conjunction with this Prospectus and other Securities Agreements. Full information on the Issuer and such offer of the Debt Securities is only available through this Prospectus, the relevant Offer Supplement, and the other Securities Agreements. All information contained in this Prospectus are deemed incorporated by reference in an Offer Supplement. The use of proceeds for each Offer will be set out in the relevant Offer Supplement. Upon issuance, the Debt Securities shall constitute the direct, unconditional, unsubordinated, and unsecured obligations of SM Prime and shall at all times rank pari passu and rateably without any preference or priority amongst themselves and at least pari passu with all other present and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of SM Prime, other than obligations preferred by law. The Debt Securities shall effectively be subordinated in right of payment to all of SM Prime’s secured debts, if any, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and all of its debt that is evidenced by a public instrument under Article 2244(14) of the Civil Code of the Philippines. On [4 December 2019], SM Prime filed a Registration Statement with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in connection with the offer and sale to the public of debt securities with an aggregate principal amount of up to P100,000,000,000 constituting the Debt Securities. The SEC is expected to issue an order rendering the Registration Statement effective covering the Debt Securities. The Company is allowed under Philippine laws to declare dividends, subject to certain requirements. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to declare dividends only from its unrestricted retained earnings, except with respect to P2,985 million representing the cost of shares held in treasury and P86,460 million representing accumulated equity in net earnings of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures as at 30 September 2019. Dividends may be payable in cash, shares or property, or a combination of the three, as the Board of Directors shall determine. The declaration of stock dividends is subject to the approval of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. The Company’s Board of Directors may not declare dividends which will impair its capital. SM Prime confirms that this Prospectus contains all material information relating to the Company, its affiliates and the Debt Securities which are in the context of the issue and offering of the Debt Securities (including all material information required by the applicable laws of the Republic of the Philippines). There are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement in this Prospectus misleading in any material respect. SM Prime confirms that it has made all reasonable inquiries in respect of the information, data and analysis provided to it by its advisors and consultants or which is otherwise publicly available for inclusion into this Prospectus. SM Prime, however, has not independently verified any such publicly available information, data or analysis. The price of securities can and does fluctuate, and any individual security may experience upward or downward movements, and may even become valueless. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities. An investment in the Debt Securities described in this Prospectus involves a certain degree of risk. A prospective purchaser of the Debt Securities should carefully consider several risk factors inherent to the Company as set out in “Risk Factors” found on page [25] of this Prospectus, in addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, in deciding whether to invest in the Debt Securities. This Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements can generally be

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS OF THE COMPANY Integrated real estate platform with strong track record across segments

SM Prime benefits from a strong track record in the Philippine real estate industry, including being the number one shopping mall developer and operator in the Philippines based on both gross floor area (“GFA”) and number of malls, a leading residential developer in the Philippines in terms of condominium units sold, and operating growing office, hotel and leisure segments. SM Prime possesses end-to-end capabilities across the integrated real estate value chain, encompassing land banking, master planning, construction, retailing and operations. SM Prime is able to leverage on the diverse skill sets of each of its business units while optimizing value through more efficient planning and control over its developments. SM Prime believes it can maximize the existing plots of its retail developments that may be underutilized or unutilized by adding residential, commercial and hospitality developments, thereby providing customers with an attractive “live, work, play” lifestyle. SM Prime is one of the largest integrated real estate developer in Southeast Asia by market capitalization as of 30 September 2019, and the largest listed real estate developer on the PSE by market capitalization and net income as of 30 September 2019. SM Prime believes it is the largest shopping mall developer in the Philippines in terms of gross leasable area. SM Prime believes that it is well positioned to take advantage of greater demand for residential homes resulting from the growth of the Philippine economy and increasing demand from expatriate Filipinos, among other factors. Leading retail malls business

As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime was the largest mall operator in the Philippines, with 73 malls across 55 cities in the Philippines and an additional 7 malls in the PRC. SM Prime’s track record of operating malls dates back to 1985 when the first SM Mall was opened. Drawing on its relationship with key tenants, SM Prime believes it is able to establish an appropriate mix of tenants in its malls and hence attract retail foot traffic. SM Prime enjoys long-standing relationships with anchor tenants such as The SM Stores, SM Supermarkets, SM Hypermarkets, Jollibee and National Bookstore in the Philippines and Walmart and Vanguard in the PRC. In addition, SM Prime has long-term relationships with an extensive base of international and domestic tenants and has access to a wide leasing network, with approximately 18,716 tenants in the Philippines and 1,960 tenants in the PRC across multiple segments as of 30 September 2019. These tenants include well-known Philippine brands such as Jollibee and National Bookstore as well as international brands such as Uniqlo, Forever 21, H&M, Starbucks, KFC, McDonalds. SM Prime’s diverse network of tenants allows it to pursue a dynamic leasing and marketing strategy. For example, international brands such as Uniqlo, Forever 21 and H&M have chosen SM Malls as the locations to open their flagship stores in the Philippines. SM Prime’s diverse network of tenants generally also allows it to achieve high occupancy levels in a short period time following the opening of new malls. Significant demand backlog gives SM Prime the flexibility to optimize its tenant mix, ensuring steady foot traffic and consistent same store sales growth at its malls.

SM Prime believes that in its 34 years of operating history, the SM Malls have established strong brand equity. SM Supermalls was recognized with Reader’s Digest Most Trusted in the Philippines Brand Award in 2019 for seven consecutive years. SM Prime’s retail malls provide an anchor for its lifestyle city projects, generating steady foot traffic and enhancing the value of its mixed-use developments. Access to a prime large-scale land bank

SM Prime aims to have a significant growth pipeline as underscored by its large and diversified land bank consisting of retail, commercial, and residential land in prime locations across the Philippines. As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime possessed a land bank of [17,481,304] sq. m. including around the MOA complex, South Road Properties in Cebu, Clark in Pampanga, North EDSA and SMDC properties in Metro Manila, among others, which SM Prime believes is among the largest land banks in the country. SM Prime believes that its well-established presence and reputation in the Philippines, as well as its expansion into China, enable it to gain access to additional quality land bank. SM Prime also has a track record of implementing a proactive land banking strategy, for example, the master plan for the 600-hectare reclamation project in Pasay and Parañaque is already in process. In addition, SMIC has granted a non-binding right of first refusal to SM Prime to purchase additional land from SMIC to support further development initiatives. Strong balance sheet and access to capital

SM Prime believes that it has access to capital from a wide variety of sources and thus is not dependent on any one source for its funding needs. As a PSE-listed company, SM Prime has access to the Philippines and international capital markets for potential issuance of equity, debt or other securities. SM Prime is also able to secure debt financing at what it believes to be competitive rates, including revolving bank loans and medium-term notes. SM Prime believes that its strong balance sheet boosted by a large asset and equity base ensures that it is able to move quickly to acquire real estate assets and additional land bank. As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime had consolidated total assets of P656.8 billion and a total equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent of ₱290.1 billion. As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime’s consolidated net debt to equity ratio was 40%, providing sufficient debt headroom flexibility for current and future capital expenditure and expansion plans. SM Prime believes that its stable real estate portfolio contributes to its liquidity and strong mix of recurring income from its mall and office operations. In the nine months ended 30 September 2019, [58%] of SM Prime’s consolidated revenue was derived from mall and commercial. SM Prime believes that its long-term leases help to create a steady stream of cash flow. Experienced management team with strong corporate governance practices

SM Prime’s senior management team comprises Mr. Henry T. Sy, Jr. as Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Jeffrey Lim and Mr. Hans T. Sy as President and Chairman of the Executive Committee, respectively. Each of these individuals has been with SM Prime or its component businesses for at least 20 years. SM Prime adheres to strong corporate governance practices, with three out of the eight members of its Board of Directors being independent directors. SM Prime has been recognized by the ASEAN Corporate Governance as Top 3 in ASEAN Corporate Governance in the Philippines, PLCs Category for 2018. SM Prime has been recognized by the Asset Corporate Awards as a Platinum Awardee for Excellence in Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility and Investor Relations for 2016-2017. BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Continue to expand SM Prime’s land bank and develop integrated lifestyle cities

SM Prime has integrated all land banking functions into a centralized department retaining the highly successful culture that allowed the Company to reach its strong current land bank position. Going forward, the key focus of SM Prime will be on acquiring land bank that is suitable for mid-to-large scale mixed-use master planned projects in fast growing areas of the Philippines. SM Prime also plans to continue acquiring a strategic land bank near its existing developments, select schools, mass transit stations and other areas which are expected to be significant beneficiaries of infrastructure development in the future. A successful land banking strategy creates the foundation for the next phase in the development of lifestyle city projects, being the master planning for an integrated township design. These lifestyle cities are anchored by SM Prime’s retail malls, supported by commercial, residential, hotel and convention center developments, creating a synergistic value enhancement across product classes and offering a complete selection of products to customers. For example, SM Prime aims to replicate the successful model of its MOA complex, a 60 hectare master-planned bayside development in Pasay City. The MOA complex had a total estimated land value of ₱85.3 billion according to CBRE as of December 31, 2015. SM Prime believes that the success of the MOA complex is a result of the substantial synergies from each real estate offering in the integrated development. For example, the MOA Arena has been a preferred venue for events due to its proximity to the MOA, which in turn increased foot traffic at the MOA. Sea Residences, Shell Residences and Shore 1 to 3 Residences have been SM Prime’s top selling residential development projects in part due to its proximity to the MOA, while again providing additional foot traffic to the MOA. SM Prime was also awarded by the cities of Pasay and Parañaque to reclaim land adjacent to the MOA complex totaling around 600 hectares. SM Prime has a large and diverse land bank suitable for projects that are modeled after the MOA complex and creating lifestyle cities across the Philippines. For example, SM Prime is building a 30 hectare mixed use development project in Cebu City, the SM Seaside City. The mall in SM Seaside City is the city’s largest mall, with a GFA of approximately 430,000 sq. m. It consists of a four-storey complex featuring a Cineplex, IMAX Theater, bowling center and ice skating rink. Other potential developments in SM Seaside City complex may include high-rise residential condominiums, office buildings and hotels. Leverage retail malls to anchor lifestyle city developments

SM Prime expects mall operations to continue to be its primary focus going forward and is targeted to account for a majority of SM Prime’s net income for the foreseeable future. Expansion is expected to take place in major cities outside of Metro Manila, especially in areas where disposable income is expected to increase significantly and retail space is currently limited. Certain major cities have a per capita income and rent per sq. m. that are comparable to those within Metro Manila, driven by a shift in business processing outsourcing (“BPO”) demand to regional provinces. Over time, retail malls built in these cities could be converted into mixed use developments by adding office, residential and hospitality components as the cities continue to grow. SM Prime also plans to expand within Metro Manila on a selective basis, developing supercenters (malls consisting of less than 100,000 sq. m.) that are situated between mega malls in Metro Manila. SM Prime believes that the current demand backlog for leases in several of its developments provides an opportunity for further mall expansion. SM Prime plans to develop five to seven malls in the Philippines each year for the near term, and also to opportunistically expand its presence in second and third tier cities in China by building one mall per year for the near term, in each case subject to market conditions. SM Prime is targeting to increase its overall mall GFA by 5-7% per year to approximately 8.5 million sq. m. in the Philippines and approximately 1.3 million sq. m. in China by 2019. SM Prime believes it will be able to do this given its direct access to a larger land bank that should allow it to accelerate its mall development throughout the country.

Optimize existing properties by adding complementary developments SM Prime will pursue a multi-pronged long-term strategy that is aimed to allow it to optimize the value of existing properties, developments and current land bank through an integrated real estate platform while retaining flexibility to efficiently allocate capital among its various business units. SM Prime will embark on more large scale mixed used developments throughout the Philippines in an effort to replicate the success of the MOA complex. SM Prime intends to further expand these complimentary projects by adding retail, office, residential and leisure developments to its existing property projects, including those projects with underutilized plots of vacant land. For example, SM Prime developed Radisson Blu Cebu, Park Inn by Radisson Davao, Park Inn by Radisson Clark, Park Inn Radisson Iloilo, Park Inn by Radisson North EDSA and Conrad Manila within existing mall developments such as SM City Cebu, SM City Davao, SM City Clark, SM City Iloilo, SM City North EDSA and SM Mall of Asia. SM Prime believes that SM Megamall, SM City North EDSA, and SM Seaside City still have significant under-utilized plot ratios that are suitable for commercial, hospitality and residential developments. Continue aggressive rollout of BPO office development Taking advantage of the robust BPO sector outlook as well as increasing flight to quality from older BPO developments, SM Prime’s strategic focus includes expanding its office portfolio with IT and BPO buildings. SM Prime plans to leverage the new company’s enlarged and geographically diverse land bank to expand its office space presence in second and third tier Philippine cities in Cebu, Davao, Pampanga and Iloilo, areas where BPO companies are currently expanding their operations due to favorable labor market conditions. Focus on a “one product-one market” strategy for the residential business SM Prime intends to capitalize on the increasing urbanization and economic development of the Philippines to develop vertical residential projects in key areas across Metro Manila specifically the cities of Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, and Taguig, as well as Tagaytay City and Cebu that target the Philippine mass middle market. By leveraging the already strong SM brand and its leadership in the residential condominium segment, SM Prime believes it can aggressively roll-out new projects in the strategically placed land bank throughout Metro Manila and the rest of the country. SM Prime will focus its residential development on the low-to-middle income segments, which is underpinned by resilient housing demand driven by a housing supply backlog, growing household creation and increasing urbanization. As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime has 23 completed residential projects and 25 ongoing residential projects. SM Prime plans to accelerate residential project launches in areas near existing SM Prime developments. As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime has already launched 14,500 units to the market. For full year 2019, SM Prime is targeting to launch between 15,000 to 20,000 residential units that includes high-rise buildings, mid-rise buildings and single detached house and lot projects. These projects will be located in Metro Manila and other key cities in the provinces. Maintain a strong balance sheet, prudent risk and capital management and good

governance

By maintaining a strong balance sheet, SM Prime believes it will be better able to withstand economic and financial cycles, while allowing the Company to achieve expansion quickly, as well as give it the flexibility to embark on acquisitions if and when opportunities arise. SM Prime intends to maintain prudent debt levels and a sufficient equity buffer with a target net debt-to-equity ratio of no more than 50:50. SM Prime also plans to maintain a relatively long and well spread out debt maturity profile and continue to diversify its sources of funding. SM Prime will take a disciplined approach to the allocation of capital across its projects with strict application of hurdle rates and benchmarks for each investment. Capital expenditure for 2020 is approximately ₱80.0 billion, with 36% for mall, 44% for residential, 13% for commercial and 7% for hotels and convention centers. Capital expenditure for 2021 is

Page 19: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

14

approximately ₱80.0 billion, with 34% for mall, 47% for residential, 12% for commercial and 7% for hotels and convention centers. SM Prime plans to fund its capital expenditure plan through recurring income flows and external financing. SM Prime intends to apply global corporate governance standards and risk management best practices, as well as embark on integrated sustainability and corporate social responsibility initiatives.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Debt Securities involves a number of risks. The price of securities can and does fluctuate, and any individual security may experience upward or downward movements, and may even become valueless. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. There may be a big difference between the buying price and the selling price of these securities. An investor deals in a range of investments, each of which may carry a different level of risk. Prior to making any investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider all of the information in this Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below. The business, financial condition or results of operations of SM Prime could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional considerations and uncertainties not presently known to the Issuer or which the Issuer currently deems immaterial, may also have an adverse effect on an investment in the Debt Securities. This risk disclosure does not purport to disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of investing in these securities. An investor should undertake his or her own research and study on the trading of securities before commencing any trading activity. He/she may request information on the securities and issuer thereof from the SEC which are available to the public. An investor should seek professional advice if he or she is uncertain of, or has not understood any aspect of the securities to invest in or the nature of risks involved in trading of securities especially those high risk securities. This section entitled “Risks Factors” does not purport to disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of investing in these securities. The risks enumerated hereunder are considered to be each of equal importance. The means by which the Company plans to address the risks discussed herein are presented in the sections of this Prospectus entitled “Description of the Issuer – Competitive Strengths,” “Description of the Issuer – Business Strategies,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY The Philippine property market is cyclical and can be affected by domestic and global

economic conditions.

SM Prime derives a substantial portion of its revenue from rents and sales relating to its portfolio of malls, residential and commercial property developments and other leisure and mixed-use properties, substantially all of which are located in the Philippines. Accordingly, SM Prime is heavily dependent on conditions in the Philippine property market. In the past, the Philippine property market has been cyclical, and property values have been affected by the supply of and demand for comparable properties, the rate of economic growth in the Philippines and political and social developments. Since the second half of 2008, the global financial markets have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant dislocations, which originated from the liquidity disruptions in the United States and the European Union credit and sub-prime residential mortgage markets. These disruptions and other events, such as rising government deficits and debt levels, the sovereign credit ratings downgrades and ensuing public deficit and debt reduction measures of the United States and certain member states of the European Union, the risk of a partial collapse of the Eurozone and slower rates of growth in the Chinese economy have had and continue to have a significant adverse effect on the global financial markets. In particular, the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 resulted in a generally negative effect on real estate property prices globally, including in the Philippines, and continued uncertainty and volatility in global economic conditions may result in further adverse impacts to

Page 27: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

22

SM Prime. These adverse effects can result in, among others, lower demand and values for real estate in the Philippines, increased difficulties on the part of tenants in meeting their lease and other financial obligations, and greater difficulties for SM Prime in obtaining financing where necessary to fund the acquisition and development of their real estate projects. SM Prime’s growth is largely dependent on its ability to construct profitable malls in new locations in the Philippines. The substantial majority of the aggregate net leasable area in these malls is dedicated to retail use, exposing SM Prime to risks relating to economic conditions in the Philippines such as trends in consumer spending, exchange rates and spending patterns of OFWs and their dependents, and the supply of, or demand from, tenants for retail space and other competing commercial malls. Declines in consumer spending and other factors that may result in lower demand for retail space could have a material adverse effect on SM Prime’s ability to successfully operate and develop existing and future malls. In addition, demand for new residential projects in the Philippines has fluctuated in the past as a result of prevailing economic conditions in both the Philippines and in other countries, such as the United States (including overall growth levels and interest rates), the strength of overseas markets (as a substantial portion of demand comes from Overseas Filipino Workers (“OFWs”) and expatriate Filipinos), the political and security situation in the Philippines and other related factors. General cyclical trends in the Philippines and international property markets, as well as significant uncertainties and volatilities in the domestic, regional and global economic conditions affecting those property markets, are expected to continue, and accordingly SM Prime’s results of operations may fluctuate from period to period in accordance with those fluctuations. There can be no assurance that such variances will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of SM Prime. SM Prime may face challenges of title to land.

While the Philippines has adopted a system of land registration which is intended to conclusively confirm land ownership, and which is binding on all persons (including the Government), it is not uncommon for third parties to claim ownership of land that has already been registered and over which a title has been issued. There have also been cases where third parties have produced false or forged title certificates over land. In particular, Quezon City, Metro Manila and the province of Cavite, have been known to experience problems with syndicates of squatters and forged or false title holders. Although SM Prime generally conducts extensive title searches before it acquires any parcel of land, from time to time it has defended itself against third parties who claim to be the rightful owners of land which has been either titled in the name of the persons selling the land to those companies or which has already been titled in those companies’ names. In the event a greater number of similar third-party claims are brought against SM Prime in the future or any such claims involve land that is material to SM Prime’s malls, residential developments and other real estate assets, SM Prime’s management may be required to devote significant time and incur significant costs in defending against such claims. If any such claims are successful, SM Prime may have to either incur additional costs to settle such third-party claims or surrender title to land that may be material in the context of SM Prime’s operations. In addition, title claims made by third parties against SM Prime may have an adverse effect on its reputation. Furthermore, transfer of title in the Philippines in connection with real estate sales involves a series of registrations and filings, which can require several months to complete. As a result, SM Prime may in some instances occupy, operate or develop properties for which it has not yet completed all formalities in respect of perfecting title. There can be no assurance that third parties will not in the future challenge SM Prime’s rights to properties in similar circumstances where title has not yet been perfected. SM Prime’s rights and title to reclaimed land may be challenged

In 2002, the Supreme Court of the Philippines promulgated a decision in the case of Francisco I. Chavez vs. Public Estates Authority and Amari Coastal Bay Development Corporation (G.R. No. 133250) and ruled that Government-reclaimed lands form part of the public domain and consequently, cannot be

Page 28: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

23

acquired by private corporations without violating the Philippine Constitution. SM Prime (formerly SM Land/Shoemart) owns 60 hectares of reclaimed land along the coast of Manila Bay at the MOA complex, the acquisition of which was upheld in 1995 by the Court of Appeals, whose decision has long become final and has been executed. Title to a great majority of lots comprising the reclaimed land has since been registered under the name of SM Prime (formerly SM Land/Shoemart). SM Prime believes Shoemart acquired its reclaimed land in good faith and for value. The MOA complex is a 60 hectare master-planned bayside development in Pasay City with a total estimated land value of ₱85.3 billion according to CBRE as of December 31, 2015. The MOA complex is estimated to comprise 6% of the total assets of SM Prime and 7% of its total land value. The MOA complex houses the SM Mall of Asia, the Mall of Asia Arena, the MOA Arena Annex Building (that houses additional parking spaces and office levels), and the SMX Convention Center Manila, among other commercial, business and entertainment establishments. The MOA complex is also the site of the E-Com Centers, a series of modern and iconic office buildings mostly targeting technology based industries, BPO and shipping companies. The various business segments located within the MOA complex contributed an aggregate estimated P5,831 million or 7% of the revenues of SM Prime in 2016, P7,534 million or 8% of the revenues of SM Prime in 2017 and P8,188 million or 8% of the revenues of SM Prime in 2018 and approximately P2,565 million or 7%, P3,358 million or 8% and P3,688 million or 8%, in operating income, for the same period. The MOA Complex also houses some of SM Prime’s residential developments such as the Sea Residences, Shell Residences and Shore 1 to 3 Residences. SM Prime’s mixed use development project in Cebu City, the SM Seaside City, also stands on reclaimed land of approximately 30 hectares with an acquisition cost of approximately P3,000 million. SM Prime acquired the property in good faith and for value and expects title to the property to be transferred in its name in due course. The mall in SM Seaside City is the city’s largest mall, with a GFA of approximately 430,000 sq. m. It consists of a four-storey complex featuring a Cineplex, IMAX Theater, bowling center and ice skating rink. There is, however, no assurance that the title to the land where the MOA Complex and the SM Seaside City is located will not be challenged and have an adverse impact on SM Prime’s right and title to the reclaimed lands. Any such challenge, whether successful or not, may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime, however, believes that any adverse effect of such challenge to its business will not materially impact SM Prime’s ability to conduct its business or significantly affect its ability to operate given that the MOA complex comprises less than 10% of its total assets. In the event that it becomes subject of such challenge or lawsuit, SM Prime will defend its rights against such claims.

SM Prime will continue to compete with other mall operators and commercial and residential developers.

SM Prime competes with other developers and operators of shopping malls and other commercial properties and residential properties for tenants, sales customers and land acquisition opportunities, among others. SM Prime’s malls compete with other similar malls. Increased competition could adversely affect income from, and the market values of, the malls. The income from, and market values of, the malls are largely dependent on the ability of the malls to compete against other retail malls in their area in attracting and retaining tenants. In addition, tenants at the malls face increasing competition from specialty stores, general merchandise stores, discount stores, warehouse outlets and street markets, which may affect the ability or willingness of such tenants to continue renewing their leases. Important factors that affect the ability of retail malls to attract or retain tenants include the popularity of the malls with retail customers, which is a function of the quality of the malls’ existing tenants and the attractiveness of the building and the surrounding area. Attracting and retaining tenants and customers often involves refitting, repairing or making improvements to mechanical and electrical systems and outward appearance. If competing malls of a similar type are built in the areas where the malls are located or similar malls in the vicinity of the malls are substantially updated and refurbished, the value and net income of the malls could be reduced.

24

SM Prime’s income from, and market values of, its residential development projects is largely dependent on these projects’ popularity when compared to similar projects in their areas, as well as on the ability of SM Prime to gauge correctly the market for its projects. Important factors that could affect SM Prime’s ability to compete effectively include a project’s relative location versus that of its competitors, particularly proximity to transportation facilities and commercial centers, as well as the quality of the housing and related facilities offered by SM Prime and the overall attractiveness of the project. SM Prime’s commercial investment property business competes with a number of commercial developers. Competition from other developers of neighboring commercial centers and office spaces may adversely affect SM Prime’s ability to operate successfully its investment properties or attract and retain tenants, and continued development by these and other market participants could result in saturation of the market for office space. In addition, SM Prime’s major competitors may have greater experience, financial resources and more expertise in developing commercial properties and commercial leasing operations. SM Prime’s future growth and development will also depend, in part, on its ability to acquire or enter into agreements to develop additional tracts of land suitable for the types of mall, residential and commercial real estate projects that SM Prime has developed over the years. SM Prime may experience difficulty locating parcels of land of suitable size in locations and at prices acceptable to SM Prime, particularly parcels of land located in areas surrounding Metro Manila and in other urban areas throughout the Philippines. In the event SM Prime is unable to acquire suitable land at acceptable prices, or at all, its growth prospects could be limited and its business and results of operations could be adversely affected. As a result of the foregoing, historical operating results of the malls may not be indicative of future operating results and historical market values of the malls may not be indicative of future market values. A failure by SM Prime to compete effectively against other developers and operators of malls and other commercial properties and residential properties could result in a loss of market share in the relevant sectors and corresponding decreases in revenues from rentals and property sales, which would in turn negatively impact SM Prime’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime is exposed to risks associated with the operation of its mall and commercial

businesses.

The operations of SM Prime’s malls and commercial businesses are subject to risks relating to the ownership of properties for lease and the management of mall and commercial tenants. The performance of SM Prime’s malls and commercial properties could be affected by a number of factors, including:

• the national and international economic climate; • trends in the Philippine commercial and retail industry; • ability to attract leading names in the retail market to SM Prime’s mall and commercial

developments; • ability to anticipate the future technological and infrastructure needs of BPO tenants and

effectively design properties to meet those needs; • efficiency in collection, property management and tenant relations; • non-renewal of expiring tenancies; • amount of disposable income and consumer preference; • competition for tenants; • changes in market rental rates; • the need to periodically renovate, repair and re-let space and the costs thereof; • the quality and strategy of the management services provided; and • SM Prime’s ability to provide adequate security, maintenance and insurance.

In particular, SM Prime’s commercial development projects comprise twelve office buildings catering primarily to tenants operating in the BPO industry. Adverse trends in the Philippines’ BPO industry and

Page 30: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

25

competitive environment could result in the inability of existing BPO tenants to honor their lease commitments, as well as lower demand among potential BPO clients for vacant space. If SM Prime is unable to lease its mall and commercial properties in a timely manner or collect rent at profitable rates or at all, this could materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime faces numerous risks including reputational risk and operational risks relating to its residential and commercial businesses.

SM Prime’s operations include the development and sale of residential properties and the development and lease of office and commercial properties. The property development business involves significant risks distinct from those involved in the ownership and operation of established properties, including the risk that SM Prime may invest significant time and money in a project that may not attract sufficient levels of demand in terms of anticipated sales or rentals at the expected take-up rate and which may not yield target returns as anticipated. In addition, obtaining required approvals and permits from various Philippine regulatory agencies may take substantially more time and resources than anticipated and construction of projects may not be completed on schedule or within budget. The time and the costs involved in completing the development and construction of projects can be adversely affected by many factors, including shortages of materials, equipment and labor, adverse weather conditions, peso depreciation, natural disasters, labor disputes with contractors and subcontractors, accidents, changes in laws or in Government priorities and other unforeseen problems or circumstances. Any of these factors could result in project delays and cost overruns, which could negatively affect SM Prime’s margins. SM Prime’s reputation could also be adversely affected if projects are not completed on time or if projects do not meet customers’ requirements. If any of SM Prime’s projects experiences construction or infrastructure failures, design flaws, significant project delays, quality control issues or otherwise, this could negatively affect its brand image and its ability to pre-sell its residential development projects. This would reduce cash flow and impair its ability to meet funding requirements. Project delays, cost overruns and construction issues could also result in sales and resulting profits from a particular development not being recognized in the year in which it was originally expected to be recognized, which could adversely affect SM Prime’s results of operations. Further, the failure by SM Prime to complete construction of a project to its planned specifications or schedule may result in cost overruns and possible abandonment of projects by contractors, as well as lower returns. Moreover, orders of the Philippine Department of Agrarian Reform (the “DAR”) allowing conversion of agricultural land for development may require a project to complete construction by a prescribed deadline. If SM Prime fails to complete construction of a project by the stated deadline, the DAR may revoke its order allowing the use of agricultural land for SM Prime’s intended purpose. SM Prime is exposed to general risks associated with the ownership and management of

real estate. Real estate investments are generally illiquid, limiting the ability of an owner or a developer to convert property assets into cash on short notice with the result that property assets may be required to be sold at a discount in order to ensure a quick sale. Such illiquidity will also limit the ability of SM Prime to manage its portfolio in response to changes in economic, real estate market or other conditions. Property investment is also subject to risks incidental to the ownership and management of residential and commercial properties including, among other things: competition for tenants; oversupply of, or reduced demand for, retail, office and residential space; changes in market rents; inability to renew leases at favorable rates or at all; inability to collect rents due to insolvency of tenants, or otherwise as a result of their inability or refusal to comply with lease commitments as a result of adverse business conditions or other factors; inability to dispose of major investment properties for the values at which they are recorded; increased operating costs; the need to renovate, repair and re-let space periodically

Page 31: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

26

and to pay the associated costs; wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil commotions and natural disasters; and other events beyond SM Prime’s control. SM Prime’s activities may also be impacted by changes in laws and governmental regulations in relation to real estate, including those governing usage, zoning, taxes and government charges. Such revisions may lead to an increase in management expenses or unforeseen capital expenditure to ensure compliance. Rights related to the relevant properties may also be restricted by legislative actions, such as revisions to the laws relating to building standards or town planning laws, or the enactment of new laws relating to government appropriation, condemnation and redevelopment. For example, several of SM Prime’s properties are registered as a Philippine Economic Zone (“PEZ”), which entitles them to certain benefits for the tenants that are located there, including tax advantages. If such properties were to lose their favorable PEZ status, these benefits may be lost. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime’s reputation may be affected by the operations of some of its affiliates. Actions taken that adversely impact the reputation of a given entity in the SM Group may also have an adverse impact on the SM Group as a whole. Several of the SM Group companies cross-sell products and coordinate marketing campaigns that associate them with other affiliated entities. If the reputation or corporate image of any of the companies in the SM Group were to suffer, the business, financial condition and results of operations of other SM Group companies, including SM Prime, could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, there are numerous other SM Group companies which conduct business across varied industries, such as food and other retail merchandising and banking. Certain of these SM Group companies are also leaders in their respective markets. If any of such SM Group companies encounters difficulties (financial or otherwise), negative publicity or other issues, SM Prime’s business reputation and financial condition may also be adversely affected. SM Prime is effectively controlled by the Sy family and their interests may differ significantly from the interests of other shareholders.

The Sy family currently holds voting power over 21.90% of the outstanding share capital of SM Prime. In addition, members of the Sy family currently hold three seats on the Board of Directors. As a result, the Sy family effectively controls SM Prime, including in relation to major policy decisions such as its overall strategic and investment decisions, dividend plans, capital raisings and other financings, mergers and disposals, amendments to its Articles of Incorporation and By-laws, election of members of its Board of Directors, appointment of its senior managers and other significant corporate actions. The Sy family owns a variety of commercial interests aside from the controlling interest in SM Prime. Conflicts of interest may therefore arise between the Sy family, on the one hand, and SM Prime, on the other, in a number of areas, including:

· major business combinations involving SM Prime; · plans to develop the businesses of SM Prime; and · business opportunities that may be attractive to both the Sy family’s other interests and to SM

Prime. There can be no assurance that the Sy family will not cause SM Prime to take actions which might differ from the interests of other shareholders of SM Prime. SM Prime may enter into and expects to enter into material agreements and other arrangements with the Sy family and its affiliated companies and persons.

SM Prime may enter into and expects to enter into a number of material agreements and other arrangements with companies controlled by members of the Sy family and affiliated companies and persons. Transactions with related parties pose the risk of SM Prime entering into transactions on terms

Page 32: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

27

less favorable than could be obtained in arm’s-length transactions with unrelated parties. In particular, Sy family-controlled companies operating in the retail and banking sectors account for a significant portion of the total rental revenue from SM Prime’s malls and other commercial properties. Moreover, the Sy family could cause SM Prime to enter into transactions with SM Prime’s affiliates on terms less favorable than could be obtained in arm’s-length transactions with unrelated parties. Any such transactions could materially adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information concerning related party transactions, see “Related Party Transactions”, [Note 21] to the audited consolidated financial statements and [Note 18] to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus. SM Prime’s leasing operations depend on key tenants, which are affiliates of the SM Group.

SM Prime derives a substantial portion of its rental income from affiliated tenants controlled by the Sy family. SM Prime also relies on anchor tenants, most of whom are affiliates of the SM Group, to maintain sufficient foot traffic at its malls and other retail properties. There can be no assurance that, despite their longstanding and symbiotic relationship with SM Prime, certain anchor tenants would not terminate their lease, which could adversely affect SM Prime’s total rental revenue, nor can there be any assurance that SM Prime would be able to locate similar, suitable replacement tenants. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that such affiliated tenants will not relocate to another space or renegotiate leases on terms more favorable to them. A partial or total loss of these tenants could have a material adverse effect on SM Prime’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime depends on retaining the services of its senior management team and its ability

to attract and retain talented personnel.

SM Prime’s senior management team, whose details are set out in “Board of Directors and Management of the Issuer” found on page [147] of this Prospectus, is critical to its success, and the loss of the services of any key member of the team could have an adverse effect on SM Prime’s strategy and operations. SM Prime depends on its senior management team for the successful integration of its operations and execution of its business strategy. In the event one or more members of the team terminates his or her relationship with SM Prime, SM Prime may not be able to replace them within a reasonable period of time or with a person of equivalent expertise and experience, which could materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Malls and other commercial properties owned by SM Prime may be subject to an increase in operating and other expenses. SM Prime’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if operating and other expenses relating to malls and other commercial properties increase without a corresponding increase in revenues or tenant reimbursements (where applicable) of operating and other expenses. Factors which could increase operating and other expenses include:

• increases in utility expenses; • increases in payroll expenses; • increases in property taxes and other statutory charges; • increases in the rate of inflation; • changes in the rate and expense of depreciation and amortization; · changes in statutory laws, regulations or Government policies that increase the cost of

compliance with such laws, regulations or policies; • increases in management fees or sub-contracted service costs, such as maintenance

and security; • increases in insurance premiums; and • defects affecting the malls which need to be rectified, leading to unforeseen capital expenditure.

Increased expenses resulting from the foregoing or other factors, to the extent not compensated by

Page 33: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

28

corresponding increases in revenues, could have a material adverse effect on SM Prime’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime faces risks relating to the management of its land bank.

SM Prime will need to acquire land for replacement and expansion of land inventory within its current markets. However, it may not be possible to acquire land in suitable locations and on commercially reasonable terms. These challenges are exacerbated by the highly competitive real estate industry in Metro Manila and its surrounding areas, where SM Prime competes with other real estate companies, some of which may have more resources than SM Prime, for land acquisition and the right to participate in land reclamation projects. There can be no assurance of reaching agreement in respect of the lease or purchase of any specific property or properties. In the event that SM Prime is unable to acquire suitable land, its growth prospects could be limited. The risks inherent in purchasing and developing land increase as consumer demand for residential real estate decreases. The market value of land, subdivision lots and housing inventories can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing market conditions. There can be no assurance that measures employed to manage land inventory risks will be successful. In the event of significant changes in economic, political or market conditions, SM Prime may have to sell subdivision lots and housing and condominium units at significantly lower margins or at a loss. Changes in economic or market conditions may also require SM Prime to defer the commencement of housing and land development projects, which would require carrying the cost of acquired but undeveloped land on-balance sheet, as well as reducing the amount of property available for sale. Any of the foregoing events would have a material adverse effect on SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime operates in a highly regulated environment and it is affected by the development

and application of regulations in the Philippines.

The Philippines property development industry is highly regulated. The development of condominium, subdivision and other residential projects, commercial projects and land reclamation projects is subject to a wide range of government regulations, which, while varying from one locality to another, typically include zoning considerations as well as the requirement to procure a variety of environmental and construction-related permits. In addition, projects that are to be located on agricultural land, must get clearance from the DAR so that the land can be reclassified as non-agricultural land and, in certain cases, tenants occupying agricultural land may have to be relocated at a developer’s expense. Presidential Decree No. 957, as amended, (“P.D. 957”), Republic Act No. 4726, as amended, (“R.A. 4726”), Republic Act No. 6552 (the “Maceda Law”) and Batas Pambansa Blg. 220 (“B.P. 220”) are the principal statutes which regulate the development and sale of real property as part of a condominium or subdivision project. P.D. 957, R.A. 4726 and B.P. 220 cover subdivision projects for residential, commercial, industrial or recreational purposes and condominium projects for residential or commercial purposes. The Maceda Law governs the sale of property on installment. The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (“HLURB”) is the administrative agency of the Government which enforces these statutes. Regulations applicable to SM Prime’s operations include among others:

• the suitability of the site; • road access; • necessary community facilities; • open spaces and common areas; • water supply; • sewage disposal systems; • electricity supply; and • unit/lot sizes.

Since 2008, HLURB has required all property developers in the Philippines to partake in the development of socialized housing projects. Under Section 18 of the Republic Act No. 7279, developers of subdivision projects are required to develop an area for socialized housing equivalent to at least 20% of the total subdivision area or total subdivision project cost, at the option of the developer, within the same city or

Page 34: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

municipality, whenever feasible, and in accordance with the standards set by HLURB and other existing laws. Property developers are not allowed to buy credits from property firms already involved in socialized housing development, rather, they are required to comply with the rule by participating in: a) development of settlement; b) slum upgrading or renewal of areas for priority development either through zone improvement programs or slum improvement and resettlement programs; c) joint venture projects with either local government units (“LGUs”) or any of the housing agencies; or d) participation in the community mortgage program. If SM Prime does not comply with this requirement, it may be subject to fines or other sanctions which would adversely impact its business and results of operations. All condominium and subdivision development plans are also required to be filed with and approved by the LGU with jurisdiction over the area where the project is located. Approval of development plans is conditioned on, among other things, completion of the acquisition of the project site and the developer’s financial, technical and administrative capabilities. Alterations of approved plans that affect significant areas of the project, such as infrastructure and public facilities, also require prior approval of the relevant LGU. There can be no assurance that SM Prime will be able to obtain governmental approvals for its projects or that, when given, such approvals will not be revoked. In addition, developers, owners of or dealers in real estate projects are required to obtain licenses to sell before making sales or other dispositions of condominium units, subdivision lots and housing units. Project permits and any license to sell may be suspended, cancelled or revoked by HLURB based on its own findings or upon complaint from an interested party, and there can be no assurance that SM Prime will in all circumstances receive the requisite approvals, permits or licenses or that such permits, approvals or licenses will not be cancelled or suspended. Any of the foregoing circumstances or events could affect SM Prime’s ability to complete projects on time, within budget or at all, and could materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Zoning restrictions and local opposition may delay or preclude construction. In order to develop a property on a particular site, the zoning of such site must permit the development of the intended type of residential, office and/or retail activities. In instances where the existing zoning is not suitable or in which the zoning has yet to be determined, SM Prime will be required to apply for the required zoning classifications. This procedure may be protracted, particularly where the bureaucracy is cumbersome and inefficient, and there can be no assurance that the process of obtaining proper zoning will be completed with sufficient speed to enable the residential, office and/or retail developments to be completed ahead of any competitor development, or at all. Opposition by local residents to zoning and/or building permit applications may also cause considerable delays. SM Prime’s plans to build on reclaimed land in the future may also face public opposition. In addition, arbitrary changes to applicable zoning by the relevant authorities may jeopardize projects that have already commenced. Therefore, a failure by SM Prime to receive zoning approvals, or delays in the receipt of such zoning approvals, could result in increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on SM Prime’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations. Infringement of intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on SM

Prime’s business. Upon commencement of development of new projects, SM Prime generally files applications for the registration of intellectual property rights with respect to the names of certain of its real estate products, as well as for trademarks. There can be no assurance that such applications will be approved or that the actions SM Prime has taken will be adequate to prevent third parties from using its corporate brands and logos, or from naming brands or developments using the same brands that SM Prime will use. In addition, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert rights in, or ownership of, the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of SM Prime. SM Prime believes that the reputation and track record established under its intellectual property rights such as the “SM” name (which, together with other SM trademarks and logos, is owned by SMIC and its affiliated companies) is a key to future growth, and accordingly, SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by the infringing use of the “SM” and related brand names by third parties, or if in any way SM Prime is restricted from using such marks. Land and/or real property may be subject to compulsory acquisition. Under Philippine law, the Government has the power to acquire any land in the Philippines if such acquisition is for public benefit or utility or any other public interest. Accordingly, in the event that land is compulsorily acquired from SM Prime, SM Prime’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, real property and/or land owned by SM Prime and located outside of the Philippines may be compulsorily acquired by the respective governments of the countries in which they are located for public use or for public interest. The owner of such real property that has been compulsorily acquired may be compensated in accordance with the laws of the respective jurisdictions, which compensation may be less than its market value. Any instance of land being compulsorily acquired from SM Prime may materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Fluctuations in interest rates, changes in Government borrowing patterns and Government regulations could have a material adverse effect on SM Prime’s and its customers’ ability

to obtain financing. Interest rates, and factors that affect interest rates, such as the Government’s fiscal policy, could have a material adverse effect on SM Prime and the demand for its products. For example: 1. In connection with SM Prime’s property development business generally, higher interest rates make

it more expensive to borrow funds to finance ongoing projects or to obtain financing for new projects.

2. In connection with SM Prime’s core residential development business, a substantial portion of SM

Prime’s customers procure financing to fund their property purchases, thus higher interest rates make financing, and therefore purchases of real estate, more expensive, which could adversely affect the demand for SM Prime’s residential projects.

3. If the Government significantly increases its borrowing levels in the domestic currency market, this

could increase the interest rates charged by banks and other financial institutions and also effectively reduce the amount of bank financing available to both prospective property purchasers and real estate developers, including SM Prime.

4. SM Prime’s access to capital and its cost of financing are also affected by restrictions, such as single

borrower limits, imposed by the BSP on bank lending. If SM Prime were to reach the single borrower limit with respect to any of its primary lenders, it may have difficulty obtaining financing with reasonable rates of interest from other banks. SM Prime is approaching the single borrower limit with certain of the banks from which it obtains financing, and as a result, SM Prime expects to make more use of alternative sources of financing in the future, which may have a higher cost of funding or be on terms less favorable than its existing financing arrangements.

The occurrence of any of the foregoing events, or any combination of them, or of any similar events, could materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime faces risks inherent in joint venture structures and/or funds.

SM Prime has interests in joint venture entities and/or funds in connection with its property development and investment plans, including integrated developments. Disagreements may occur between SM Prime, on the one hand, and their joint venture partners and/or third-party fund investors, as the case may be, regarding the business and operations of the joint ventures and/or funds which may not be resolved amicably. In addition, joint venture partners and/or third-party fund investors may (i) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of SM Prime; (ii) take actions contrary to SM Prime’s instructions, requests, policies or objectives; (iii) be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations; (iv) have financial difficulties; or (v) have disputes as to the scope of their responsibilities and obligations. Additionally, in light of the current economic climate, joint venture partners or third-party fund investors (i) may not be able to fulfill their respective contractual obligations (for example, they may default in making payments during future capital calls or capital raising exercises); or (ii) may experience a decline in their creditworthiness. The occurrence of any of these events may materially and adversely affect the performance of joint ventures and/or funds, which in turn may materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s performance. Construction defects and other building-related claims may be asserted against SM Prime,

and SM Prime may be subject to liability for such claims. Philippine law provides that property developers, such as SM Prime, warrant the structural integrity of residential developments that were designed or built by them for a period of 15 years from the date of completion of the development. SM Prime may also be held responsible for hidden (i.e. latent or non-

Page 37: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

32

observable) defects in a residential property sold by it when such hidden defects render the property unfit for the use for which it was intended or when its fitness for such use is diminished to the extent that the buyer would not have acquired it or would have paid a lower price had the buyer been aware of the hidden defect. This warranty may be enforced within six months from the delivery of the residential property to the buyer. In addition, Republic Act No. 6541, as amended, or the National Building Code of the Philippines (the “Building Code”), which governs, among other things, the design and construction of buildings, sets certain requirements and standards with which SM Prime must comply. SM Prime or its officials may be held liable for administrative fines or criminal penalties in the case of any violation of the Building Code. There can be no assurance that SM Prime will not be held liable for damages, the cost of repairs, and/or the expense of litigation surrounding possible claims or that claims will not arise out of uninsurable events, such as landslides or earthquakes, or circumstances not covered by SM Prime’s insurance. If these damages are not covered by warranty and indemnification clauses in SM Prime’s agreements with contractors, the resulting liabilities could have an adverse effect on SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. SM Prime may suffer material losses in excess of insurance proceeds.

SM Prime’s portfolio of malls, residential properties and other real estate assets could suffer physical damage caused by fire, flooding, typhoons, earthquakes or other causes, or third-party liability claims, any of which could result in losses (including loss of rent) which may not be fully compensated for by insurance. SM Prime may also be exposed to liability for damages or injuries from accidents occurring on its properties. In addition, certain types of risks and insurance cover (such as war risk and acts of terrorism) may be uninsurable or the cost of insurance may be prohibitive when compared to the risk. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, SM Prime could lose capital invested in the affected property as well as any anticipated future revenue from such property, and may also remain liable for any debt or other financial obligation related to such property. No assurance can be given that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. SM Prime faces property development risk.

The property development business involves significant risks distinct from those involved in the ownership and operation of established properties, including the risks that Government approvals may take more time and resources to obtain than expected; that construction may not be completed on schedule or budget; and that the properties may not achieve anticipated sales, rents or occupancy levels. In addition, development projects typically require substantial capital expenditure during construction and it may take years before property projects generate cash flows. There is the risk that financing for development may not be available under favorable terms, or that construction may not be completed on schedule or within budget. The time and the costs involved in completing construction can be adversely affected by many factors, including shortages of materials, equipment and labor; adverse weather conditions; natural disasters; labor disputes with contractors and subcontractors; accidents; changes in Government priorities; and unforeseen problems or circumstances. The occurrence of any of these factors could give rise to delays in the completion of a project and result in cost overruns. This may also result in the profit on development for a particular property not being recognized in the year in which it was originally anticipated to be recognized, which could adversely affect the Company’s profits recognized for that year. Further, the failure by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to complete construction of a project to its planned specifications or schedule may result in liabilities, reduced project efficiency and lower returns. No assurance can be given that such events will not occur in a manner that would adversely affect the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. Furthermore, properties presently in the name of SM Prime or those acquired in the future may be subject to various lawsuits and/or claims, which, if resolved against the Company, will result in the loss or reduction in size of the particular property subject of the lawsuit.

Page 38: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

To mitigate these risks, the Company ensures that its project developments are carefully planned. The Company relies on the services of reputable, high quality, independent contractors for their projects and maintains good business relationships with these contractors. The Company adheres to the strategy of developing each project in phases to minimize exposure to such risks. Further, each company keeps within a conservative level of leverage. Although the current liquidity and depth of the Philippine credit market renders funding risk as unlikely, the companies have unutilized credit lines as buffer for unanticipated requirements. The companies also ensure that all required governmental approvals are obtained and kept updated on any developments in regulations concerning the real estate industry.

SM Prime will continue to face certain risks related to the cancellation of sales involving

its residential projects. SM Prime’s operations involving the development and sale of residential real estate could be adversely affected in the event that a material number of condominium unit, subdivision lot or house and lot sales are cancelled. SM Prime’s transactions are subject to the Maceda Law, which applies to all transactions or contracts involving the sale or financing of real estate through installment payments paid to the developer, including residential condominium units (but excluding industrial and commercial lots). Under the Maceda Law, buyers who have paid at least two years of installments are granted a grace period of one month for every year of paid installments to cure any payment default. A buyer is given such a right only once every five years during the life of the contract and its extensions, if any. If the contract is cancelled, the buyer is entitled to receive a refund of at least 50% of the total payments made by the buyer. Buyers who have paid less than two years of installments and who default on installment payments are given a 60 day grace period to pay all unpaid installments before the sale can be cancelled, but without the right of refund. While historically SM Prime has not experienced a material number of cancellations to which the Maceda Law has applied, there can be no assurance that SM Prime will not experience a material number of cancellations in the future, particularly during slowdowns or downturns in the Philippine economy, periods when interest rates are high or similar situations or if SM Prime fails to meet the construction schedules of launched projects. In the event SM Prime does experience a material number of cancellations, it may not have enough funds on hand to pay the necessary cash refunds to buyers, or it may have to incur indebtedness in order to pay such cash refunds. In addition, particularly during an economic slowdown or downturn, there can be no assurance that SM Prime would be able to resell the same property at an acceptable price or at all. Any of the foregoing events would have a material adverse effect on SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. From time to time SM Prime will commence construction of a condominium project or house even before the full amount of the required down payment is made and thus, before the sale is recorded as revenue. SM Prime will therefore risk having expended cash to begin construction of the condominium project or the house before being assured that the sale will eventually be booked as revenue, particularly if the buyer is unable to complete the required down payment and SM Prime is unable to find another purchaser for such property. There can be no assurance that SM Prime will not suffer from substantial sales cancellations and that such cancellations will not materially and adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The loss of certain tax exemptions and incentives for residential home sales may increase the price of SM Prime’s residential units and may lead to a reduction in sales.

SM Prime’s customers benefits from provisions under Philippine law and regulations which exempt sales of residential lots with a gross selling price of ₱1,500,000 and below and sales of residential houses and lots with a gross selling price of ₱2,500,000 and below from the value-added tax (“VAT”) of 12.0%. Beginning January 1, 2021, the VAT exemption shall only apply to sale of real properties not primarily held for sale to customers or held for lease in the ordinary course of trade or business, sale of real property utilized for socialized housing as defined by Republic Act No. 7279, sale of house and lot and other residential dwellings with selling price of not more than ₱2,000,000, and subject to readjustment every three (3) years thereafter. However, if two or more adjacent lots, or houses and lots, are sold to one buyer from the same seller for the purpose of utilizing them as one residential area, the sale shall be exempt from VAT only if the aggregate value of the properties does not exceed the threshold prices for exemption. Adjacent lots or houses and lots sold to the same person shall be presumed to be a sale of one residential area although covered by separate titles and/or tax declarations and by separate deeds of conveyance. In the event that sales become subject to VAT, due to a change in Government policy or otherwise, the purchase prices for SM Prime’s subdivision lots and housing and condominium units will increase and this could adversely affect its sales. Because taxes such as the VAT are expected to have indirect effects on SM Prime’s results of operations by affecting general levels of spending in the Philippines and the prices of subdivision lots and houses, any adverse change in the Government’s VAT-exemption policy could have an adverse effect on SM Prime’s results of operations. A domestic asset price bubble could adversely affect the Company’s business. One of the risks inherent in any real estate property market is the possibility of an asset price bubble. This occurs when there is a gross imbalance between the supply and demand in the property market, causing an unusual increase in asset prices, followed by a drastic drop in prices when the bubble bursts. In the Philippines, the growth of the real estate sector is mainly driven by low interest rates, robust remittances from Overseas Filipino Workers, and the fast growing Business Process Outsourcing sector which is vulnerable to global economic changes. The Company believes that the Philippine property sector is adequately protected against a domestic asset price bubble burst. The country has a very young demographic profile benefitting from rising disposable income. It likewise has one of the fastest growing emerging economies, registering Gross Domestic Product growth rates of 6.9% in 2016, 6.7% in 2017 and 6.2% in 2018 and the growth in the property sector is largely supported by infrastructure investments from both the public and private sectors and strong macroeconomic fundamentals. There can be no assurance however, that the Philippines will achieve strong economic fundamentals in the future. Changes in the conditions of the Philippine economy could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PHILIPPINES Substantially all of the Company’s operations and assets are based in the Philippines; a

slowdown in economic growth in the Philippines could materially adversely affect its

businesses. Historically, the Company has derived a large majority of its revenue and operating profits from the Philippines and, as such, is highly dependent on the state of the Philippine economy. Demand for retail, commercial and residential real estate are all directly related to the strength of the Philippine economy (including its overall growth and income levels), the overall levels of business activity in the Philippines, as well as the amount of remittances received from OFWs and overseas Filipinos. Factors that may adversely affect the Philippine economy include:

· decreases in business, industrial, manufacturing or financial activities in the Philippines, the

Page 40: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

35

Southeast Asian region or globally; · scarcity of credit or other financing, resulting in lower demand for products and services

provided by companies in the Philippines, the Southeast Asian region or globally; · exchange rate fluctuations; · inflation or increases in interest rates; · levels of employment, consumer confidence and income; · changes in the Government or of the Government’s fiscal and regulatory policies; · re-emergence of SARS, avian influenza (commonly known as bird flu), including the H1N1 and

H7N9 strains of the disease, or the emergence of another similar disease in the Philippines or in other countries in Southeast Asia;

· natural disasters, including but not limited to tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, fires, floods and similar events;

· political instability, terrorism or military conflict in the Philippines, other countries in the region or globally; and

· other social, political or economic developments in or affecting the Philippines. There can be no assurance that the Philippines will achieve strong economic fundamentals in the future. Changes in the conditions of the Philippine economy could materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Any political instability in the future may have a negative effect on SM Prime’s financial

results. The Philippines has from time to time experienced political, social and economic instability. On 9 May 2016, the Philippines held its sixteenth national elections for president, vice president, members of the Senate and local government officials. On June 30, 2016, Rodrigo Roa Duterte was sworn in as the 16th president of the Republic of the Philippines, succeeding Benigno Aquino III. There can be no assurance that President Duterte will continue to implement the economic, development and regulatory policies of President Aquino, including those policies that have a direct effect on the Group’s assets and operations. On 11 May 2018, the Supreme Court of the Philippines rendered a decision to grant the Petition for Quo Warrato and found Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno, then the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, disqualified from and adjudged guilty of unlawfully holding and exercising the office of the Chief Justice. On 19 June 2018, the Supreme Court issued a resolution denying the motion for reconsideration filed by Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno with finality. In June 2018, former President Benigno Aquino III was indicted for usurpation of legislative powers concerning the Disbursement Acceleration Program during his term. Moreover, several individuals who were high -ranking officers under the administration of President Aquino have also been indicted for graft and corruption charges and drug trafficking among other offenses. In addition, since the commencement of the current administration, more than 1,000 alleged drug dealers and users have been killed in police operations, and more than 1,300 drug dealers and drug users have been killed by supposed vigilantes. A new version of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (“BBL”) was crafted under the Duterte administration, which was finally signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte on July 26, 2018. The Bangsamoro Organic Law (“BOL”) abolished the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and created the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (“BARMM”). The BARMM will be parliamentary-democratic in form, and will be headed by a chief minister, who will preside over an 80-member parliament. The BOL, however, still has to be cleared by a plebiscite and overcome possible legal challenges. The Duterte administration has been pushing for a shift to a federal form of government. For this purpose, the President created a consultative committee to review the 1987 Constitution and draft a federal constitution.

In May 2019, the Philippine legislative and local elections were held. Majority of the senatorial candidates endorsed by the administration won the 2019 elections. The senators elected in the 2019 elections will join the senators elected in the 2016 elections. There are allegations of fraud and voter disenfranchisement in the conduct of the 2019 elections. No assurance can be given that the future political environment in the Philippines will be stable or that current or future Governments will adopt economic policies conducive to sustaining economic growth. Political instability in the Philippines could negatively affect the general economic conditions in the Philippines which could have a material impact on the financial results of the Group. In addition, such adverse factors may affect the Philippine tourism industry, which is the focus of one element of the Group’s growth strategy. Historically, the Group has remained apolitical and cooperates with the country’s duly constituted government. The Group supports and contributes to nation-building. SM Prime’s businesses may be disrupted by terrorist acts, crime, natural disasters and

outbreaks of infectious diseases or fears of such occurrences in Metro Manila or other parts

of the Philippines. The Philippines has been subject to a number of terrorist attacks in the past several years. The Philippine army has been in conflict with the Abu Sayyaf organization which has been responsible for kidnapping and terrorist activities in the Philippines, and is alleged to have ties to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network. There have also been sporadic bombings and prominent kidnappings and slayings of foreigners in the Philippines, including the hijacking of a tourist bus carrying Hong Kong tourists that resulted in the deaths of several passengers. There can be no assurance that the Philippines will not be subject to further acts of terrorism and violence in the future. Terrorist attacks have, in the past, had a material adverse effect on investment and confidence in, and the performance of, the Philippine economy and, in turn, the Company’s business. The Company’s current insurance policies do not cover terrorist attacks. Any terrorist attack or violent acts arising from, and leading to, instability and unrest, could cause interruption to parts of the Company’s businesses and materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Philippines has experienced a number of major natural catastrophes over the years, including typhoons, droughts, floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that may materially disrupt and adversely affect the Company’s business operations. A number of climate experts believe that climate change is affecting the intensity and severity of these natural calamities. The potential future effects of global climate change may include longer periods of drought in some regions and an increase in the number, duration and intensity of tropical storms in the country. Authorities may not be prepared or equipped to respond to such disasters. On 26 September 2009, Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) resulted in 341.3 millimeters of rainfall in six hours, causing massive flooding that submerged several areas of Metro Manila and adjacent provinces. The typhoon caused 464 deaths and approximately ₱86 billion in property damage. On 6 August 2012, a monsoon hit Metro Manila and other nearby provinces which also caused severe flooding and landslides. Other regions of the Philippines have also experienced severe natural disasters. In December 2011, Typhoon Washi (Sendong) caused massive flooding in the southern Philippine city of Cagayan de Oro, claiming thousands of lives and displacing tens of thousands of residents. On 3 December 2012, Typhoon Bopha struck the southern island of Mindanao as a category five typhoon, triggering widespread flash flooding and landslides throughout the region. Typhoon Bopha killed over 1,000 people and caused an estimated ₱42 billion in property damage. In October 2013, an earthquake occurred in Central Visayas, Philippines. The magnitude of the earthquake was recorded at Mw 7.2 at the epicenter which was located six kilometers southwest of Sagbayan town, at a depth of 12 kilometers. The seismic event affected the whole Central Visayas region, particularly Bohol and Cebu. According to recent official reports by the National Disaster Risk

Page 42: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

37

Reduction and Management Council, 198 people were reported dead, 11 were missing, and 651 were injured as a result of the earthquake, making it the deadliest earthquake in the Philippines in 23 years. In all, more than 53,000 structures were damaged or destroyed, including commercial buildings, malls, public edifices, hotels and churches. SM Prime’s Radisson Blu Cebu sustained cosmetic damages on tiles and walls, however, the structural integrity of the building has been certified by three structural engineering companies. As a result, total business lost was estimated at approximately P60 million and forecasted year end occupancy of 74% had dropped to 66%. In addition, the Central Philippines experienced a severe typhoon, Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), in November 2013 which caused extensive damage to infrastructure and properties, claimed 6,268 lives and displaced thousands of residents. The Philippines may also be subject to outbreaks of contagious diseases, such as Avian flu, Ebola, and MERS-CoV. In April 2015, the Government, through the Department of Health (“DOH”), issued a Bureau of Quarantine alert bulletin after a Filipino citizen tested positive for MERS-CoV before his departure from the United Arab Emirates and arrival to Manila. The said individual has tested negative in follow-up findings of the DOH Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. As of July 31, 2015, South Korea had reported a total number of 186 cases of MERS-CoV, while there were reports of two cases in Hong Kong and one case in Thailand. To date, while reported cases of MERS-CoV have decreased substantially worldwide in 2016 and 2017 and while there have been no indications of the presence of such diseases in the Philippines, the DOH continues to monitor disembarking passengers suspected to be carriers of MERS-CoV, Ebola or Avian flu. In August 2017, an outbreak of bird flu from a poultry farm in Central Luzon was confirmed, and the avian influenza strain was later found to be transmissible to humans. In response to the outbreak, restrictions on the transport and sale of birds and poultry outside a seven-kilometer radius surrounding the affected site were imposed. The Philippines has since been cleared of any human infection of the avian influenza virus. It is not possible to predict the extent to which the Company’s various businesses will be affected by any future occurrences of natural calamities or outbreak of contagious diseases such as those described above or fears that such occurrences will take place, and there can be no assurance that any disruption to its businesses will not be protracted, that property will not be damaged and that any such damage will be completely covered by insurance or at all. Any such occurrences may disrupt the operations of the Company’s businesses and could materially and adversely affect their business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any such occurrences may also destabilize the Philippine economy and business environment, which could also materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Volatility in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies could

adversely affect SM Prime’s businesses.

During the last decade, the Philippine economy has from time to time experienced volatility in the value of the Peso and limited availability of foreign exchange. In July 1997, the BSP announced that it would allow market forces to determine the value of the Peso. Since 30 June 1997, the Peso experienced periods of significant depreciation and declined from approximately P29.00 = U.S.$1.00 in July 1997 to a low of P49.90 = U.S.$1.00 for the month ended (period average) December 2000. In recent years, the Peso has generally depreciated and the exchange rate (period average) was P47.47 in 2016, P50.40 in 2017 and P52.68 in 2018. Reduced risk appetite for emerging market assets could also result in a decline in value of the Peso as investors move their portfolios out of emerging markets. Intervention in the currency markets as well as changes in demand for the Peso could result in volatility in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar and other currencies.

The revenues of the Company are predominantly denominated in Pesos, while certain expenses, including fixed debt obligations, are denominated in currencies other than Pesos. Certain of the Company’s borrowings are denominated in US dollars and China renminbi and accordingly, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the Peso to US dollar and other foreign currency exchange rates. A depreciation of the Peso against the US dollar and other foreign currencies will increase the amount of Peso revenue required to service foreign currency denominated debt obligations.

There can be no assurance that the Peso will not depreciate further against other currencies and that such depreciation will not have an adverse effect on the Philippine economy and on the Company’s businesses. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates may result in significantly higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages and capital or exchange controls. This could result in a reduction of economic activity, economic recession, sovereign or corporate loan defaults, lower deposits and increased cost of funds. The foregoing consequences, if they occur, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As a policy, the Company does not engage in foreign currency speculation. Furthermore, the Company minimizes foreign exchange exposure and fully hedges its foreign currency liabilities. Tensions with China and other neighboring countries may adversely affect the Philippine

economy and business environment. The Philippines, Vietnam and several Southeast Asian nations have been engaged in a series of longstanding territorial disputes with China and other Southeast Asian countries over certain territories in the West Philippine Sea, also known as the South China Sea. The Philippines’ efforts at bilateral talks with China failed, and thus the dispute remains unresolved. Actions taken by both sides have threatened to disrupt trade and other ties between the two countries, including a temporary ban by China on Philippine banana imports and a temporary suspension of tours to the Philippines by Chinese travel agencies. In January 2013, the Philippines initiated arbitral proceedings before a tribunal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (“UNCLOS”), in which China refused to participate. On June 20, 2015, the Government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs, issued a statement reiterating its serious concern that China’s reclamation and construction activities in a disputed part of the West Philippine Sea grossly violate the 2002 ASEAN-China Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (“DOC”) and may serve to escalate the disputes and undermine efforts to promote peace, security, and stability. In the same statement, the Philippines called on China anew to heed calls from the region and the international community to exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the DOC. On May 17, 2016, outgoing President Aquino issued Memorandum Circular No. 94 s. 2016 creating a National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea, to secure the country’s sovereignty and national territory and to preserve marine wealth in its waters and the exclusive economic zone, thereby reserving use and enjoyment of the West Philippine Sea exclusively for Filipino citizens. In July 2016, the UNCLOS tribunal rendered a decision stating that the Philippines has exclusive sovereign rights over the West Philippine Sea (in the South China Sea) and that China’s “nine-dash line” claim is invalid. Despite the decision, the Chinese Government has maintained its position that the Tribunal has no jurisdiction over the dispute, and thus, the decision is not binding on the Chinese Government. Recently, the Chinese Government successfully registered names for five undersea features found in the Philippine Rise (formerly Benham Rise) with the International Hydrographic Organization. This is despite the decision that the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf had already granted the Philippines full territorial claim to the Philippine Rise in April 2012. While the Philippine Government downplays the Chinese names, the Philippines' central mapping agency is seeking the assistance of the Department of Foreign Affairs for the nullification of the Chinese names for underwater features from the International Hydrographic Organization-Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (“IHOIOC GEBCO”) Sub-Committee on Undersea Feature Names (“SCUFN”). There had been other occurrences of territorial disputes with Malaysia and Taiwan. In March 2013, several hundred armed Filipino Muslims illegally entered Malaysia in a bid to enforce an alleged historical claim on the territory. Clashes between the Filipino Muslim individuals and the Malaysian armed forces resulted in casualties on both sides. Taiwan imposed economic sanctions on the Philippines as a result of an incident in May 2013, whereby a Taiwanese fisherman was unintentionally killed by a Philippine coast guard ship that opened fire on his vessel in a disputed exclusive economic zone between Taiwan

and the Philippines. The sanctions were eventually lifted after a formal apology was issued by the Philippine government. Should the territorial dispute in the West Philippine Sea escalate or continue, the Philippines’ interests in fishing, trade and offshore drilling, the volume of trade between the Philippines and China, and the supply of steel available to the Philippines may be adversely affected, which in turn may affect, among other things, infrastructure development and general economic and business conditions in the Philippines, any of which could adversely affect SM Prime’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Corporate governance and disclosure standards in the Philippines may differ from those in more developed countries. While a principal objective of the Philippine securities laws, SEC regulations and PSE disclosure rules is to promote full and fair disclosure of material corporate information, there may be less publicly available information about Philippine public companies, such as the Issuer, than is regularly made available by public companies in the United States and other countries. The Philippines securities market is generally subject to less strict regulatory oversight than securities markets in more developed countries. Improper trading activities could affect the value of securities and concerns about inadequate investor protection may limit participation by foreign investors in the Philippine securities market. Furthermore, although the Issuer complies with the requirements of the SEC and PSE with respect to corporate governance standards, these standards may differ from those applicable in other jurisdictions. For example, the Philippine Securities Regulation Code requires the Issuer to have at least two independent directors or such number of independent directors as is equal to 20% of the Board, whichever is the lower number. The Issuer currently has three independent directors. Many other jurisdictions require significantly more independent directors. The Group has received numerous awards for good corporate governance from international publications. RISKS RELATING TO THE DEBT SECURITIES The priority of debt evidenced by a public instrument. Under Philippine law, in the event of liquidation of a company, unsecured debt of the company (including guarantees of debt) which is evidenced by a public instrument as provided in Article 2244 of the Civil Code of the Philippines will rank ahead of unsecured debt of the company which is not so evidenced. Under Philippine law, a debt becomes evidenced by a public instrument when it has been acknowledged before a notary or any person authorized to administer oaths in the Philippines. Although the position is not clear under Philippine law, it is possible that a jurat (which is a statement of the circumstances in which an affidavit was made) may be sufficient to constitute a debt evidenced by a public instrument. So far as the Issuer is aware, none of its debt is evidenced by a public instrument and the Issuer will undertake in the Terms and Conditions of the Debt Securities to use its best endeavors not to incur such debt. Any such debt evidenced by a public instrument may, by mandatory provision of law, rank ahead of the Debt Securities in the event of the liquidation of the Issuer. As a policy, SM Prime’s borrowings are clean and are not collateralized by its assets, except for debts that are required by law to be secured. An active trading market for the Debt Securities may not develop. The Debt Securities are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. Even if the Debt Securities are listed on the PDEx, trading in securities such as the Debt Securities may be subject to extreme volatility at times, in response to fluctuating interest rates, developments in local and international capital markets and the overall market for debt securities among other factors. Although certain offers are intended to be listed on PDEx as soon as reasonably practicable, no assurance can be given that an active trading market for the debt securities will develop and, if such a market were to develop the Joint Issue Managers are under no obligations to maintain such a market.

Page 45: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

40

The liquidity and the market prices for the Debt Securities can be expected to vary with changes in market and economic conditions, the financial position and prospects of the Company and other factors that generally influence the market prices of securities. The Company has no control over this risk as active trading of the Debt Securities is highly dependent on the bondholders. The Group actively cooperates in efforts aimed at improving the capital markets in the Philippines. The Issuer may be unable to redeem the Debt Securities. At maturity, the Issuer will be required to redeem all of the Debt Securities. If such an event were to occur, the Issuer may not have sufficient cash in hand and may not be able to arrange financing to redeem the Debt Securities in time, or on acceptable terms, or at all. The ability to redeem the Debt Securities in such event may also be limited by the terms of other debt instruments. Failure to repay, repurchase or redeem tendered Debt Securities by the Issuer would constitute an event of default under the Debt Securities, which may also constitute a default under the terms of other indebtedness of the Issuer. The Issuer has a very strong business franchise in the Philippines. It has a strong recurring cash flow and maintains a low debt-equity ratio and a high level of liquidity in its balance sheet. The Issuer believes that it has sufficient resources which will allow it to service the principal and interest of the Debt Securities.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS Integrated real estate platform with strong track record across segments

SM Prime benefits from a strong track record in the Philippine real estate industry, including being the number one shopping mall developer and operator in the Philippines based on both GFA and number of malls, a leading residential developer in the Philippines in terms of condominium units sold, and operating growing office, hotel and leisure segments. SM Prime possesses end-to-end capabilities across the integrated real estate value chain, encompassing land banking, master planning, construction, retailing and operations. SM Prime is able to leverage on the diverse skill sets of each of its business units while optimizing value through more efficient planning and control over its developments. SM Prime believes it can maximize the existing plots of its retail developments that may be underutilized or unutilized by adding residential, commercial and hospitality developments, thereby providing customers with an attractive “live, work, play” lifestyle. SM Prime is one of the largest integrated real estate developers in Southeast Asia by market capitalization as of 30 September 2019, and the largest listed real estate developer on the PSE by market capitalization, total assets and net income as of 30 September 2019. SM Prime believes it is the largest shopping mall developer in the Philippines in terms of gross leasable area. SM Prime believes that it is well positioned to take advantage of greater demand for residential homes resulting from the growth of the Philippine economy and increasing demand from expatriate Filipinos, among other factors. Leading retail malls business

As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime was the largest mall operator in the Philippines, with 73 malls across [55] cities in the Philippines and an additional 7 malls in the PRC. SM Prime’s track record of

Page 58: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

53

operating malls dates back to 1985 when the first SM Mall was opened. Drawing on its relationship with key tenants, SM Prime believes it is able to establish an appropriate mix of tenants in its malls and hence attract retail foot traffic. SM Prime enjoys long-standing relationships with anchor tenants such as The SM Stores, SM Supermarkets, SM Hypermarkets, Jollibee and National Bookstore in the Philippines and Walmart and Vanguard in the PRC. In addition, SM Prime has long-term relationships with an extensive base of international and domestic tenants and has access to a wide leasing network, with approximately 18,716 tenants in the Philippines and 1,960 tenants in the PRC across multiple segments as of 30 September 2019. These tenants include well-known Philippine brands such as Jollibee and National Bookstore as well as international brands such as Uniqlo, Forever 21, H&M, Starbucks, KFC, McDonalds. SM Prime’s diverse network of tenants allows it to pursue a dynamic leasing and marketing strategy. For example, international brands such as Uniqlo, Forever 21 and H&M have chosen SM Malls as the locations to open their flagship stores in the Philippines. SM Prime’s diverse network of tenants generally also allows it to achieve high occupancy levels in a short period time following the opening of new malls. Significant demand backlog gives SM Prime the flexibility to optimize its tenant mix, ensuring steady foot traffic and consistent same store sales growth at its malls. SM Prime believes that in its 34 years of operating history, the SM Malls have established strong brand equity. SM Prime’s retail malls provide an anchor for its lifestyle city projects, generating steady foot traffic and enhancing the value of its mixed-use developments. Access to a prime large-scale land bank

SM Prime aims to have a significant growth pipeline as underscored by its large and diversified land bank consisting of retail, commercial, and residential land in prime locations across the Philippines. As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime possessed a land bank of [17,481,304] sq. m. including around the MOA complex, South Road Properties in Cebu, Clark in Pampanga, North EDSA and SMDC properties in Metro Manila, among others, which SM Prime believes is among the largest land banks in the country. SM Prime believes that its well-established presence and reputation in the Philippines, as well as its expansion into China, enable it to gain access to additional quality land bank. SM Prime also has a track record of implementing a proactive land banking strategy, for example, the master plan for the 600-hectare reclamation project in Pasay and Parañaque is already in process. In addition, SMIC has granted a non-binding right of first refusal to SM Prime to purchase additional land from SMIC to support further development initiatives. Strong balance sheet and access to capital

SM Prime believes that it has access to capital from a wide variety of sources and thus is not dependent on any one source for its funding needs. As a PSE-listed company, SM Prime has access to the Philippine and international capital markets for potential issuance of equity, debt or other securities. SM Prime is also able to secure debt financing at what it believes to be competitive rates, including revolving bank loans and medium-term notes. SM Prime believes that its strong balance sheet boosted by a large asset and equity base ensures that it is able to move quickly to acquire real estate assets and additional land bank. As at 30 September 2019, SM Prime had consolidated total assets of ₱656.8 billion and a total equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent of ₱290.1 billion. As at 30 September 2019, SM Prime’s combined net debt to equity ratio was 40%, providing sufficient debt headroom flexibility for current and future capital expenditure and expansion plans. SM Prime believes that its stable real estate portfolio contributes to its liquidity and strong mix of recurring income from its mall and office operations. In the nine months ended 30 September 2019,

Page 59: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

54

58% of SM Prime’s consolidated revenue was derived from mall and commercial. SM Prime believes that its long-term leases help to create a steady stream of cash flow. Experienced management team with strong corporate governance practices

SM Prime’s senior management team comprises Mr. Henry T. Sy, Jr., as Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Jeffrey Lim and Mr. Hans T. Sy as President and Chairman of the Executive Committee, respectively. Each of these individuals has been with SM Prime or its component businesses for at least 20 years. SM Prime adheres to strong corporate governance practices, with three out of the eight members of its Board of Directors being independent directors. SM Prime has been recognized by the ASEAN Corporate Governance as Top 3 in ASEAN Corporate Governance in the Philippines, PLCs Category for 2018. SM Prime has been recognized by the Asset Corporate Awards as a Platinum Awardee for Excellence in Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility and Investor Relations for 2016-2017. BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Continue to expand SM Prime’s land bank and develop integrated lifestyle cities SM Prime has integrated all land banking functions into a centralized department retaining the highly successful culture that allowed the Company to reach its strong current land bank position. Going forward, the key focus of SM Prime will be on acquiring land bank that is suitable for mid-to-large scale mixed-use master planned projects in fast growing areas of the Philippines. SM Prime also plans to continue acquiring a strategic land bank near its existing developments, select schools, mass transit stations and other areas which are expected to be significant beneficiaries of infrastructure development in the future. For example, SM Prime recently submitted a proposal to reclaim land adjacent to the MOA complex. A successful land banking strategy creates the foundation for the next phase in the development of lifestyle city projects, being the master planning for an integrated township design. These lifestyle cities are anchored by SM Prime’s retail malls, supported by commercial, residential, hotel and convention center developments, creating a synergistic value enhancement across product classes and offering a complete selection of products to customers. For example, SM Prime aims to replicate the successful model of its MOA complex, a 60 hectare master-planned bayside development in Pasay City. The MOA complex had a total estimated land value of ₱85.3 billion according to CBRE as of December 31, 2015. SM Prime believes that the success of the MOA complex is a result of the substantial synergies from each real estate offering in the integrated development. For example, the MOA Arena has been a preferred venue for event due to its proximity to the MOA, which in turn increased foot traffic at the MOA. Sea Residences, Shell Residences and Shore 1 to 3 Residences have been SM Prime’s top selling residential developmentprojects in part due to its proximity to the MOA, while again providing additional foot traffic to the MOA. SM Prime was also awarded by the cities of Pasay and Parañaque to reclaim land adjacent to the MOA complex totaling around 600 hectares. SM Prime has a large and diverse land bank suitable for projects that are modeled after the MOA complex and creating lifestyle cities across the Philippines. For example, SM Prime is building a 30 hectare mixed use development project in Cebu City, the SM Seaside City. The mall in SM Seaside City is the city’s largest mall, with a GFA of approximately 430,000 sq. m. It consists of a four-storey complex featuring a Cineplex, IMAX Theater, bowling center and ice skating rink. Other potential developments in SM Seaside City complex may include high-rise residential condominiums, office buildings, and hotels. Leverage retail malls to anchor lifestyle city developments

SM Prime expects mall operations to continue to be its primary focus going forward and is targeted to account for a majority of SM Prime’s net income for the foreseeable future. Expansion is expected to take place in major cities outside of Metro Manila, especially in areas where disposable income is expected to increase significantly and retail space is currently limited. Certain major cities have a per capita income and rent per sq. m. that are comparable to those within Metro Manila, driven by a shift

Page 60: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

55

in BPO demand to regional provinces. Over time, retail malls built in these cities could be converted into mixed use developments by adding office, residential and hospitality components as the cities continue to grow. SM Prime also plans to expand within Metro Manila on a selective basis, developing supercenters (malls consisting of less than 100,000 sq. m.) that are situated between mega malls in Metro Manila. SM Prime believes that the current demand backlog for leases in several of its developments provides an opportunity for further mall expansion. SM Prime plans to develop five to seven malls in the Philippines each year for the near term, and also to opportunistically expand its presence in second and third tier cities in China by building one mall per year for the near term, in each case subject to market conditions. SM Prime is targeting to increase its overall mall GFA by 5-7% per year to approximately 8.5 million sq. m. in the Philippines and approximately 1.3 million sq. m. in China by 2019. SM Prime believes it will be able to do this given its direct access to a larger land bank that should allow it to accelerate its mall development throughout the country. Optimize existing properties by adding complementary developments SM Prime will pursue a multi-pronged long-term strategy that is aimed to allow it to optimize the value of existing properties, developments and current land bank through an integrated real estate platform while retaining flexibility to efficiently allocate capital among its various business units. SM Prime will embark on more large scale mixed used developments throughout the Philippines in an effort to replicate the success of the MOA complex. SM Prime intends to further expand these complimentary projects by adding retail, office, residential and leisure developments to its existing property projects, including those projects with underutilized plots of vacant land. SM Prime developed Radisson Blu Cebu, Park Inn by Radisson Davao, Park Inn by Radisson Clark, Park Inn Radisson Iloilo, Park Inn by Radisson North EDSA and Conrad Manila within existing mall developments such as SM City Cebu, SM City Davao, SM City Clark, SM City Iloilo, SM City North EDSA and SM Mall of Asia. SM Prime believes that SM Megamall, SM City North EDSA, and SM Seaside City still have significant under-utilized plot ratio that are suitable for commercial, hospitality and residential developments. Continue aggressive rollout of BPO office development Taking advantage of the robust BPO sector outlook as well as increasing flight to quality from older BPO developments, SM Prime’s strategic focus includes expanding its office portfolio with IT and BPO buildings. SM Prime plans to leverage the new company’s enlarged and geographically diverse land bank to expand its office space presence in second and third tier Philippine cities in Cebu, Davao, Pampanga and Iloilo, areas where BPO companies are currently expanding their operations due to favorable labor market conditions. Focus on a “one product-one market” strategy for the residential business SM Prime intends to capitalize on the increasing urbanization and economic development of the Philippines to develop vertical residential projects in key areas across Metro Manila specifically the cities of Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, and Taguig, as well as Tagaytay City and Cebu that target the Philippine mass middle market. By leveraging the already strong SM brand and its leadership in the residential condominium segment, SM Prime believes it can aggressively roll-out new projects in the strategically placed land bank throughout Metro Manila and the rest of the country. SM Prime will focus its residential development on the low-to-middle income segments, which is underpinned by resilient housing demand driven by a housing supply backlog, growing household creation and increasing urbanization. As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime has 23 completed residential projects and 25 ongoing residential projects. SM Prime plans to accelerate residential project launches in areas near existing SM Prime developments.

56

As of 30 September 2019, SM Prime has already launched 14,500 units to the market. For full year 2019, SM Prime is targeting to launch between 15,000 to 20,000 residential units that includes high-rise buildings, mid-rise buildings and single detached house and lot projects. These projects will be located in Metro Manila and other key cities in the provinces. Maintain a strong balance sheet, prudent risk and capital management and good governance

By maintaining a strong balance sheet, SM Prime believes it will be better able to withstand economic and financial cycles, while allowing the Company to achieve expansion quickly, as well as give it the flexibility to embark on acquisitions if and when opportunities arise. SM Prime intends to maintain prudent debt levels and a sufficient equity buffer with a target net debt-to-equity ratio of no more than 50:50. SM Prime also plans to maintain a relatively long and well spread out debt maturity profile and continue to diversify its sources of funding. SM Prime will take a disciplined approach to the allocation of capital across its projects with strict application of hurdle rates and benchmarks for each investment. Capital expenditure for 2020 is approximately ₱80.0 billion, with 36% for mall, 44% for residential, 13% for commercial and 7% for hotels and convention centers. Capital expenditure for 2021 is approximately ₱80.0 billion, with 34% for mall, 47% for residential, 12% for commercial and 7% for hotels and convention centers. SM Prime plans to fund its capital expenditure plan through recurring income flows and external financing. SM Prime intends to apply global corporate governance standards and risk management best practices, as well as embark on integrated sustainability and corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Principal Tenants

SM Prime enjoys a competitive advantage due to its long-standing retail experience in establishing an appropriate mix of tenants including its associated anchor tenants. SM Prime controls the tenant mix of each of its malls, which has contributed to the profitability of the malls. The principal anchor tenants in the malls include The SM Stores, SM Supermarkets and SM Hypermarkets. Other significant tenants include Jollibee, National Bookstore, KFC, Chowking, Concentrix, Mang Inasal, McDonalds, iQor, Smart and Greenwich. As at 30 September 2019, The SM Stores occupied in aggregate a gross area of 1,081,782 sq. m. within the malls, or 30% of total leasable area. SVI and SSMI operate the SM Supermarkets and SM Hypermarkets occupying in aggregate a gross area of 467,024 sq. m. as at 30 September 2019, or 13% of total leasable area. In addition to the anchor tenants associated with SM Prime, other retail operations controlled by or in which the Sy family has a significant interest, such as Ace Hardware, SM Appliance Center, Watsons, Surplus, Our Home, Toy Kingdom, BDO, Kultura, Uniqlo, and Miniso are also tenants in most of the malls. During the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017, and 2018 and the nine months ended 30 September 2019, approximately 35%, 34%, 35% and 34%, respectively, of the aggregate mall rental revenue received by SM Prime in respect of the malls was from members of the Group and companies affiliated with the Sy family. Out of the total increase in mall rental revenue of 8% for nine months ended 30 September2019, same store sales contributed 7% while new malls and expansion of existing malls contributed 1%. SM Prime believes that all the leases entered into between SM Prime and the Group or companies affiliated to the Sy family have been entered into on an arm’s length basis and on commercial terms. The SM Mall of Asia also hosts some premier tenants, which specialize in higher-end merchandise, such as Mango, Zara, Marks & Spencer, Topshop and Muji. Leasing Policies

The leasing policy of SM Prime in relation to each of the malls is to screen applicants carefully and to secure an appropriate mix of tenants, both in terms of the nature of their businesses and their size. An average of less than 3% of tenants per mall did not renew their leases upon expiry or had their leases terminated early in each of the three years ended 31 December 2016, 2017, and 2018. The high demand for tenancies within the malls means that SM Prime generally has a waiting list sufficient to cover any vacancies that may arise in the malls. It is the policy of SM Prime that all leases, whether with members of the SM Group, companies affiliated with the Sy family or unrelated third parties, should be entered into on commercial terms, and SM Prime considers that the current rentals payable by tenants of the malls that are operational at present reflect prevailing market rents. SM Prime’s tenancies are generally granted for a term of one year, with the exception of some of the larger tenants operating nationally, which are granted initial lease terms of two to five years, renewable on an annual basis thereafter. Sixty days’ notice is required of SM Prime’s tenants for termination of their leases, and a six-month deposit is paid at the commencement of the lease. Upon expiry of a lease,

Page 79: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

74

the rental rates are adjusted to reflect the prevailing market rent. SM Prime charges rent as either a fixed rent per sq. m. or a variable rate which is a minimum per sq. m. or a base charge plus a percentage of a tenant’s sales, whichever is higher. Management of the Malls

Management and operation of the malls, including the provision of manpower, maintenance and engineering and security, leasing, marketing and other promotional activities, are assumed by the Management Companies, a wholly owned subsidiary of SM Prime. In addition, the Management Companies negotiate and handle major tenant issues for the malls, while reporting to and under the direction of SM Prime. The Management Companies also adjust the tenant mix according to instructions given by SM Prime, which is based on a variety of factors, including the target market, location of the mall, demographics, size of the retail spaces and market positioning, among others. Each of the Management Companies performs specific functions in relation to each of the malls. The entertainment and leisure facilities within the malls, including cinemas, bowling centers and ice skating rinks, are primarily owned by SM Prime, and the Management Companies managed the operations of the entertainment and leisure facilities within the malls. Certain entertainment facilities, such as amusement rides, are operated by third parties, whereby SM Prime receives a percentage of the amusement fees. Competition

SM Prime’s malls compete with other shopping malls in the geographic areas in which they operate. The other major shopping mall operators in the Philippines are Robinsons Land Corporation (“RLC”) and Ayala Land, Inc. (“ALI”). As of 30 September 2019, RLC owns and operates 52 malls in the Philippines, 9 in Metro Manila and 43 in urban areas outside Metro Manila. RLC’s total assets as at and for the fiscal years ended 30 September 2016, 2017, and 2018 were P120.0 billion, P148.1 billion, and P174.2 billion, respectively. ALI operates 32 malls and retail spaces in the country. ALI’s total assets as at and for the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017, and 2018 were P536.4 billion, P574.0 billion, and P668.8 billion, respectively. SM Prime believes that it is well placed to face increased competition in the shopping mall industry given the competitive advantages it has, including, among others, the location of its existing malls, SM Prime’s land bank, its balance sheet strength, a proven successful tenant mix and selection criteria, and the presence of The SM Stores, SM Supermarkets, SM Hypermarkets and retail affiliates of the Group within the malls. SM Prime believes that its experience and understanding of the retail industry has also been a contributing factor to its competitive advantage in the industry. Subsidiaries

Halls in Ayala Malls in the provinces. DEVELOPMENT

The business development group (“BDG”) of all the business units (mall, residential, commercial and hotels and convention centers) coordinate on the land banking process, particularly on the use of the land. Each business unit still retains a separate engineering and project management group, as the structures and the requirements for each business unit in relation to construction and design side may be different. However, purchasing and selection of pool of contractors and suppliers may be consolidated to leverage on the size and scale of the mixed-use developments. The BDG of the mall business unit is responsible for identifying viable sites for the construction of new malls. The BDG determines the viability of a potential plot of land for a new mall site based on the demographics of the area, including the size of the population, its income levels, local government and the local infrastructure, particularly accessibility by public transport. For malls, once a suitable site is selected, based on the factors described above, the BDG then determines the size of the mall to be constructed by SM Prime, which typically may range from a gross area of 30,000 to 150,000 sq. m. The construction and development of each mall is overseen by a third party project management company appointed by SM Prime. The average time for the construction of each mall ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the size of the mall. For residential and commercial properties, once a suitable site is selected, based on the factors described above, the groups determine the type of development to be constructed. The construction and development of each residential condominium and commercial office building is overseen by SM Prime’s Project Engineering Management Group and a third party project management company appointed by SM Prime. The average time for construction is 36 to 48 months, depending on the size of the project. SM Prime believes it benefits from its significant development experience and focus on immediately developable sites in its construction activities. SM Prime has generally financed land purchases and the construction of its developments from internal funds and borrowings.

FINANCING

Financing is handled by the Treasury Finance Group (“TFG”), which has the primary responsibility of ensuring that SM Prime has adequate funds on a daily basis for its capital and operational expenditures including land banking, construction, capital acquisitions, interest and debt servicing. Going forward, TFG will play a more active role with respect to fundraising as it will also service the needs of the other business units. Sources of funding currently include internally generated funds, borrowings through syndicated loans, notes issuances (private placements), bilateral loans, and bond issuances. At the beginning of each year, TFG coordinates with its Corporate Finance Group to determine the amount of funding requirements based on the annual projected receipts and disbursements. TFG is also actively engaged in investment placements, foreign exchange trading and derivative transactions to hedge SM Prime’s loan portfolio for foreign exchange and interest rate risk exposure.

The Company filed a Petition for Certiorari with Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction. It maintains that it legally won the second bidding for the Capitol Property.

The Regional Trial Court of Bacolod denied the Petition. SM Prime filed a Motion for Reconsideration but the same was also denied by the RTC. SM Prime filed a Notice of Appeal and recently received a Notice from the RTC that the records have been transmitted to the Court of Appeals for proper disposition. The appeal with the Court of Appeals is docketed as CA-G.R. CEB-SP No. 08549. It was raffled to the Special 20th Division of the Court of Appeals – Cebu City Station.

The Company filed its Reply on August 14, 2017. The Petition remains pending with the Supreme Court. SM Prime Holdings, Inc. vs. Maranon, Jr. et al. Civil Case No. 14-14323 The Company filed a civil case with the Regional Trial Court of Bacolod for the Declaration of Nullity of the Deed of Conditional Sale and Contract of Lease between the Province of Bacolod and Ayala Land, Inc. over the Capitol Property.

SM Prime shall file its Reply to the Answers by the Defendants. Defendant Province of Negros Occidental filed a Motion for Conduct of Hearing on Affirmative Defenses. In an Order dated June 11, 2015, said motion is pending resolution. Other than the JDR which was set on August 14, 2015, no setting has been made pending the resolution of the Province’s motion. In its Resolution dated March 3, 2017, the RTC Bacolod Branch 48 dismissed the complaint on the ground of forum-shopping. The RTC Bacolod Branch 48 also denied the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration in its Resolutin dated July 26, 2017. The Company filed a Petition for Review under Rule 45 with the Rules of Court on pure questions of law assailing the dismissal of the Nullity of Contract Case.

REGULATORY REAL ESTATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS

General P.D. 957, R.A. 4726 and B.P. 220 are the principal statutes which regulate the development and sale of real property as part of a condominium or subdivision project. P.D. 957, R.A. 4726 and B.P. 220 cover subdivision projects and all areas included therein for residential, commercial, industrial and recreational purposes, and condominium projects for residential or commercial purposes. The HLURB is the administrative agency of the Government which, together with LGUs, enforces these decrees and has jurisdiction to regulate the real estate trade and business. All subdivision and condominium plans for residential, commercial, industrial and other development projects are required to be filed with the HLURB and the pertinent LGU of the area in which the project is situated. Approval of such plans is conditional on, among other things, the developer’s financial, technical and administrative capabilities. Alterations of approved plans which affect significant areas of the project, such as infrastructure and public facilities, also require prior approval of the relevant government body or agency. The development of subdivision and condominium projects can commence only after the relevant government body has issued the development permit. The issuance of a development permit is dependent on, among others (i) compliance with required project standards and technical requirements which may differ depending on the nature of the project, and (ii) issuance of the barangay clearance, the HLURB locational clearance, DENR permits, and, as applicable, DAR conversion or exemption orders as discussed below. A bond equivalent to 10% of the total project cost is required to be posted by the project developer to ensure commencement of the project within one year from the issuance of the development permit. Developers who sell lots or units in a subdivision or a condominium project are required to register the project with and obtain a license to sell from the HLURB. Subdivision or condominium units may be sold or offered for sale only after a license to sell has been issued by the HLURB. As a prerequisite for the issuance of a license to sell by the HLURB, developers are required to file with the HLURB any of the following to guarantee the construction and maintenance of the roads, gutters, drainage, sewerage, water system, lighting systems, and full development of the subdivision or condominium project and compliance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations:

§ a surety bond callable upon demand equivalent to 20.0% of the development cost of the unfinished portion of the approved plan, issued by a duly accredited surety company (whether private or government), and acceptable to the HLURB;

§ a real estate mortgage executed by the developer as mortgagor in favor of the Republic of the

Philippines as mortgagee, represented by the HLURB, over property other than the land used for the project for which the license to sell is being obtained, free from any liens and encumbrance and the value of such property, computed on the basis of the zonal valuation of the BIR, must be at least 20.0% of the total development cost; or

§ other forms of security equivalent to 10.0% of the development cost of the unfinished portion

of the approved plan which may be in the form of the following:

- a cash bond; - a fiduciary deposit made with the cashier and/or disbursing officer of the HLURB; - a certificate of guaranty deposit issued by any bank or financing institution of good standing

in favor of the HLURB for the total development cost;

Page 106: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

101

- a letter from any bank of recognized standing certifying that so much has been set aside from the bank account of the developer in favor of the HLURB, which amount may be withdrawn by the Chief Executive Officer of HLURB or his authorized representative, at any time the developer fails or refuses to comply with his duties and obligations under the bond contract; or

- any irrevocable credit line to be utilized in the development of the project from any bank of recognized standing and a refinancing re-structuring program indicating sources of funding from duly accredited funding institutions.

Project permits and licenses to sell may be suspended, cancelled or revoked by the HLURB, on its own initiative or upon a verified complaint from an interested party, for reasons such as insolvency, involvement in fraudulent transactions, misrepresentations concerning the subdivision project or condominium project in any literature which has been distributed to prospective buyers. A license or permit to sell may only be suspended, cancelled or revoked after notice to the developer has been served and all parties have been given an opportunity to be heard in compliance with the HLURB’s rules of procedure and other applicable laws. Real estate dealers, brokers and salesmen are also required to register and secure a certificate of registration with the HLURB before they can sell lots or units in a registered subdivision or condominium project. The certificate of registration will expire on the first day of December of each year. On June 29, 2009, Republic Act No. 9646 or the Real Estate Service Act of the Philippines (“R.A. 9646”) was signed into law. R.A. 9646 strictly regulates the practice of real estate brokers by requiring licensure examinations and attendance in continuing professional education programs. Subdivision Projects

There are essentially two different types of residential subdivision developments, which are distinguished by different development standards issued by the HLURB. The first type of subdivision, aimed at low-cost housing, must comply with B.P. 220, a Philippine statute regulating the development and sale of real property as part of a condominium project or subdivision, which allows for a higher density of building and relaxes some construction standards. Other subdivisions must comply with P.D. 957, which sets out standards for lower density developments. Both types of development must comply with standards regarding the suitability of the site, road access, necessary community facilities, open spaces, water supply, the sewage disposal system, electrical supply, lot sizes, the length of the housing blocks and house construction. Under P.D. 957, a developer of a subdivision with an area of one hectare or more is required to reserve at least 30% of the gross land area of such subdivision for open space for common uses, which include roads and recreational facilities. In low-density subdivisions (20 family lots and below per gross hectare), a developer is required to reserve at least 3.5% of the gross project area for parks and playgrounds. HLURB Resolution No. 926, or the “2015 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations on Time of Completion” (“Resolution 926”) was issued on 3 February 2016 and took effect on 14 February 2016. Resolution 926 requires owner or developers of subdivision and condominium projects to construct and provide the facilities, improvements, infrastructures and other forms of development, including water supply and electrical facilities, which are offered and indicated in the approved project plan, within one year from the date of the issuance of the license for the project or such other period of time as may be fixed by the HLURB. Resolution 926 also provided limited grounds upon which developers or owners may be granted additional time to complete a given project. Republic Act No. 7279, as amended recently by Republic Act No. 10884, or the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992, requires developers of proposed subdivision projects to develop an area for socialized housing equivalent to at least fifteen percent (15%) of the total subdivision area or total subdivision project cost, and at least five percent (5%) of condominium area or project cost, at the

Page 107: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

102

option of the developer, within the same city or municipality whenever feasible, and in accordance with the standards set by HLURB and other existing laws. Alternatively, the developer may opt to buy socialized housing bonds issued by various accredited government agencies or enter into joint venture arrangements with other developers engaged in socialized housing development. On May 3, 2017, HLURB issued Resolution No. 946, Series of 2017, which provides for the rules and regulations implementing Republic Act No. 10884 (“IRR of RA 10884”). The IRR of RA 10884 provides for the other manners in which developers may comply with the required projects for socialized housing which includes the: (i) development of socialized housing in a new settlement; (ii) entering into joint venture arrangements with LGUs, housing agencies, private developer and non-government organization engaged in the provision of socialized housing; and (iii) participation in a new project under the community mortgage program. Under the IRR of RA 10884, the license to sell of the main project may be suspended, cancelled or revoked, if the required compliance project has not been developed or has not been completely developed in accordance with the approved work program and within the period approved by the HLURB. Republic Act No. 11201: Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Act

Republic Act No. 11201, otherwise known as “Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Act was signed by the President on 14 February 2019. The Implementing Riled and Regulations of the Act was approved on 19 July 2019. This Act created DHSUD through the consolidation of HUDCC and HLURB, simultaneously with the reconstitution of HLURB into Human Settlement Adjudication Commission (“HSAC”). The functions of the HUDCC and the planning and regulatory functions of HLURB shall be transferred to and consolidated in the DHSUD, while the HSAC shall assume and continue to perform the adjudication functions of HL URB. The DHSUD shall:

1. Act as the primary national government entity responsible for the management of housing, human settlement and urban development;

2. Be the sole and main planning and policy-making, regulatory, program, coordination, and performance monitoring entity for all housing, human settlement and urban development concerns, primarily focusing on the access to an affordability of basic human needs. The following functions of HLURB are transferred to DHSUD:

a. The land use planning and monitoring function, including the imposition of penalties for noncompliance to ensure that LGUs will follow the planning guidelines and implement their CLUPs and ZOs;

b. The regulatory function, including the formulation, promulgation, and enforcement of rules, standards and guidelines over subdivisions, condominiums and similar real estate developments, and imposition of fines and other administrative sanctions for violations, pursuant to PD 957, as amended, BP 220 and other related laws; and

c. The registration, regulation and supervision of Homeowners Associations, including the imposition of fines for violations, pursuant to RA 9904, Section 26 of RA 8763 in relation to Executive Order No. (EO) 535, series of 1979, and other related laws; and

3. Develop and adopt a national strategy to immediately address the provision of adequate and affordable housing to all Filipinos, and ensure the alignment of the policies, programs, and projects of all its attached agencies to facilitate the achievement of this objective.

All existing policies, and rules and regulations of the HUDCC and the HLURB shall continue to remain in full force and effect unless subsequently revoked, modified or amended by the DHSUD or the HSAC, as the case may be. All applications for permits, licenses and other issuances pending upon the effectivity of the Act and filed during the transition period shall continue to be acted upon by the incumbents until transition shall

Page 108: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

103

have been completed. All cases and appeals pending with the HLURB shall continue to be acted upon by the HLURB Arbiters and the Board of Commissioners, respectively, until transition shall have been completed and the Commission's operations are in place. Thereafter, the Regional Adjudicators and the Commission shall correspondingly assume jurisdiction over those cases and appeals. All decisions of the Commission shall thenceforth be appealable to the Court of Appeals under Rule 43 of the Rules of Court. The transition period shall commence upon the effectivity of the Implementing Rules and Regulations and shall end on 31 December 2019. Thereafter, the Act shall be in full force and effect.

Condominium Projects R.A. 4726 regulates the development and sale of condominium projects. R.A. 4726 requires that an annotation be registered on the master deed or on the certificate of title of the land on which the condominium project shall be located. The annotation should indicate, among other things, the description of the land, buildings, common areas and facilities of the condominium project. A condominium project may be managed by a condominium corporation, an association, a board of governors or a management agent, depending on what is provided in the declaration of restriction of the condominium project. However, whenever the common areas are held by a condominium corporation, such corporation shall constitute the management body of the project. Real Estate Sales and Installments

The Maceda Law applies to all transactions or contracts involving the sale or financing of real estate through installment payments, including residential condominium units. Under the Maceda Law, buyers who have paid at least two years of installments are granted a grace period of one month for every year of paid installments to cure any payment default. The Maceda Law also requires the sellers of real estate to refund at least 50% of total payments made should the sale contract be cancelled provided that the buyer has paid at least two years of installments, with an additional 5% per annum in cases where at least five years of installment have been paid (but with the total not to exceed 90% of the total payments). Buyers who have paid less than two years of installment and who default on installment payments are given a 60-day grace period to pay all unpaid installments before the sale can be cancelled, but without right of refund. The Maceda Law does not apply when payments are made through bank financing. Shopping Malls

Shopping malls are regulated by the local government unit of the city or municipality where the shopping mall is located. Shopping mall operators must secure a mayor’s permit or municipal license before operating. Shopping mall operators must also comply with the provisions of Republic Act No. 9514 or the Fire Code, and other applicable local ordinances. Shopping malls that have restaurants and other food establishments as tenants must obtain a sanitary permit from the Department of Health. Shopping malls that discharge commercial wastewater must apply for a wastewater discharge permit from the DENR and pay the fee incidental to the permit. As a tourism-related establishment, shopping malls may obtain accreditation from DOT. A shopping mall can only be accredited upon complying with the minimum physical, staff and service requirements promulgated by the DOT. Hotels and Resorts

Hotels were previously classified by the DOT into the following categories: (a) De Luxe Class, (b) First Class, (c) Standard Class and (d) Economy Class.

Page 109: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

104

Memorandum Circular No. 2012-02 promulgated by the DOT in May 2012 imposes new national accreditation standards for hotels, resorts and apartment hotels, pursuant to the Tourism Act of 2009. The Memorandum Circular adopts the star grading system, with five levels of accommodation standards which are equivalent to one to five stars. For instance, a one star rating will be granted to hotels which achieve 251 to 400 points (25% to 40% of the standards) and a five star rating will be granted to hotels which achieve 851 to 1,000 points (85% to 100% of the standards). The accreditation process under the Memorandum Circular No. 2012-02 is currently being implemented by the DOT. Once an application for accreditation is filed, the DOT sends an inspection team to conduct an audit of the establishment and determine compliance its classification. The Certificate of Accreditation issued by the DOT is valid for two years, unless sooner revoked. The rights over the accreditation are non-transferrable. Zoning and Land Use

Under the agrarian reform law currently in effect in the Philippines and the regulations issued thereunder by the DAR, land classified for agricultural purposes as of or after June 15, 1988, cannot be converted to non-agricultural use without the prior approval of DAR. Land use may be also limited by zoning ordinances enacted by LGUs. Once enacted, land use may be restricted in accordance with a comprehensive land use plan approved by the relevant LGU. Lands may be classified under zoning ordinances as commercial, industrial, residential or agricultural. While a procedure for change of allowed land use is available, this process may be lengthy and cumbersome. Special Economic Zone Republic Act No. 7916 (“R.A. 7916”), as amended provides for the creation and management of Special Economic Zones (“Ecozones”), which are selected areas with highly developed or which have the potential to be developed into agro-industrial, industrial tourist/recreational, commercial, banking, investment, and financial centers. PEZA is the government agency that operates, administers and manages designated PEZA Ecozones around the country. These Ecozones are generally established by a proclamation issued by the President of the Philippines, upon recommendation of the PEZA. An Ecozone may contain any or all of the following: industrial estates, export processing zones, free trade zones, and tourist/recreational centers. There are several activities eligible for PEZA registration and incentives including, but not limited to, IT services, Tourism and Retirement activities. PEZA registered enterprises locating in an Ecozone are generally entitled to fiscal and non-fiscal incentives such as income tax holidays and duty free importation of equipment, machinery and raw materials.

1. IT enterprises offering IT services (such as call centers, and BPO using electronic commerce) are entitled to fiscal and non-fiscal incentives if they are PEZA-registered locators in a PEZA-registered IT Park, IT Building, or Ecozone. An IT Park is an area which has been developed into a complex capable of providing infrastructures and other support facilities required by IT enterprises, as well as amenities required by professionals and workers involved in IT enterprises, or easy access to such amenities. An IT Building is an edifice, a portion or the whole of which, provides such infrastructure, facilities and amenities.

PEZA requirements for the registration of an IT Park or IT Building differ depending on whether it is located in Metro Manila. Metro Manila is the area that covers the 16 cities of Manila, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon, Valenzuela, Malabon, Navotas, San Juan and Taguig and the municipality of Pateros. These PEZA requirements include clearances or certifications issued by the city or municipal legislative council, the DAR, the National Water Resources Board (“NWRB”), and the DENR.

Page 110: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

105

2. Tourism activities involve the establishment and operation of PEZA registered Tourism

Ecozones (“PEZA TEZs”). These are areas which have been developed into an integrated resort complex which have tourist facilities and activities. PEZA TEZ developers and locator enterprises are generally entitled to fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. However, on November 13, 2012, PEZA Board Resolution No. 12-610 withdrew particular fiscal incentives from developers and locator enterprises of TEZs in Metro Manila, Cebu City, Mactan Island, and Boracay Island. The same Board Resolution also denied the establishment of new TEZs in the four areas.

PEZA rules for the registration of a TEZ require, among others, an endorsement from the DOT, conversion or exemption orders from the DAR, and clearances, certifications, and endorsements from Department of Agriculture (“DA”), HLURB, Environmental Management Bureau-DENR (“EMB-DENR”), NWRB, and the concerned LGUs.

3. Retirement activities involve the establishment and operation of areas capable of providing

retirement infrastructure and other support facilities such as accommodation facilities, health and wellness facilities, sports, recreation centers, and lifestyle facilities, cultural facilities, theme parks, and other amenities required by foreign retirees. Retirement Ecozone developers/operators and retirement Ecozone facilities enterprises are entitled to fiscal and non-fiscal incentives.

EO 1037 created the Philippine Retirement Authority (“PRA”), a government owned and controlled corporation under control and supervision of the office of the Board of Investments (“BOI”). It is mandated to attract foreign nationals and former Filipino citizens to invest, reside, and retire in the Philippines to accelerate the socio-economic development of the country and contribute to the foreign currency reserve of the economy.

PEZA rules for registration of retirement Ecozones and facilities enterprises require, among others, the endorsement from the PRA, and clearances and certifications from the DAR, DA, HLURB, EMB-DENR, NWRB, and the concerned LGUs.

Another government agency which is tasked to administer certain Ecozones is the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (“TIEZA”). The TIEZA is an attached agency to the DOT tasked to designate, regulate, and supervise its own TEZs as well as develop, manage and supervise tourism infrastructure projects in the Philippines. Tourism enterprises are facilities, services, and attractions primarily engaged in tourism to attract visitors. TEZ Operators and Tourism Enterprises registered with the TIEZA may be granted fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. Activities eligible for registration with the TIEZA include, among others, accommodation establishments such as hotels, resorts, apartelles, tourist inns, motels, pension houses, and home stay operators, tourist estate management services, restaurants, shops, and department stores. TIEZA rules for the registration of a TEZ will depend on the nature of the business and the type of business organization of the applicant. TIEZA registration requirements include, among others, certifications and endorsements from the DAR, the National Historical Institute, DENR, and DOH. Tax and Other Incentives

Generally, the fiscal incentives enjoyed by PEZA registered enterprises include an income tax holiday (“ITH”) for four to six years, depending on the nature and location of the enterprise; thereafter, the enterprise enjoys a preferential tax rate of 5% on gross income earned (the “5% GIT”), in lieu of all national and local taxes (except for real property tax). “Tourism Ecozone Developer/Operator” refers to the owner and/or operator of a Tourism Development Zone/Tourism Estate seeking registration with PEZA and the required Presidential Proclamation of the Tourism Development Zone/Tourism Estate as a Tourism Ecozone for the availment of incentives provided under R.A. 7916, as amended. “Tourism Development Zone/Tourism Estate” refers to a tract of land with defined boundaries, suitable for development into an integrated resort complex, with

Page 111: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

106

prescribed carrying capacities of tourist facilities and activities, such as, but not limited to, sports and recreation centers, accommodations, convention and cultural facilities, food and beverage outlets, commercial establishments and other special interest and attraction activities/establishments, and provided with roads, water supply facilities, power distribution facilities, drainage and sewage systems and other necessary infrastructure and public utilities. A Tourism Development Zone/Tourism Estate must be under unified and continuous management, and can either be a component of an ecozone or the whole ecozone itself. “Tourism Ecozone” refers to a Tourism Development Zone/Tourism Estate which has been granted special economic zone status, through PEZA registration and issuance of the required Presidential Proclamation, with its metes and bounds delineated by the Proclamation pursuant to R.A. 7916, as amended. “Retirement Ecozone Developer/Operator” refers to a business entity duly endorsed by the PRA and registered with PEZA to develop, operate and maintain a Retirement Ecozone Park/Center and provide the required infrastructure facilities and as may be required for retirement economic zone. PEZA-registered Retirement Economic Zones shall be located in priority areas endorsed by the PRA and must be at least 4 hectares. Retirement Ecozone refers to an estate which is highly developed or which has the potential to be developed into a Retirement Ecozone Park/Center whose metes and bounds are fixed or delimited by Presidential Proclamation. The retirement economic zone shall be planned and designed in accordance with the accreditation standards of the PRA to have support facilities and services required by the retirement industry. An “IT Park” or “IT Building” is an area or a building (the whole or a part of which) has been developed to provide infrastructure and other support facilities required by an IT Enterprise. The PEZA Board, through its Board Resolution No. 12-610 dated November 13, 2012, withdrew (i) the 5% GIT incentive to developers of Tourism Economic Zones in Metro Manila, Cebu City, Mactan Island and Boracay Island; and (ii) the ITH incentive and 5% GIT given to locator enterprises of Tourism Enterprise Zones in the aforesaid 4 areas. Nevertheless, tourism enterprise locators in these areas continue to enjoy tax and duty-free importation and zero-VAT rating on local purchase of capital equipment. The above policy does not have retroactive effect and therefore, existing PEZA TEZ developers and operators and tourism enterprises located in TEZs in the four aforesaid areas shall not be covered by the new PEZA policy. Existing and future PEZA TEZ developers and tourism enterprise locators outside the four areas shall continue to be entitled to four years ITH, as may be provided in and in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Priorities Plan, and tax and duty-free importation of capital equipment required for the technical viability and operation of the registered activities of the enterprises. Upon expiry of the ITH period, PEZA TEZ locators are entitled to the 5% GIT incentive, provided, however, that they have the option to forego their ITH incentive entitlement and immediately avail of the 5% tax GIT incentive upon start of their commercial operations. All PEZA-registered Tourism Developers/Operators and Locator Enterprises must conform with the development guidelines and operating standards of the DOT, land use and zoning regulations, as well as the policies and guidelines of other concerned government agencies, provided that in the case of Ecotourism Projects, endorsement from the National Ecotourism Steering Committee shall also be secured prior to PEZA registration. PEZA-registered Tourism Ecozone Developers/Operators and Locators are entitled to the following non-fiscal incentives: (a) employment of foreign nationals, as provided under R.A. 7916; (b) Special Investor’s Resident Visa, as provided under Executive Order No. 63; and (c) Incentives under the Build-Operate-Transfer Law, as may be applicable, subject to prescribed guidelines. Retirement Economic Zone Developer/Operator of a proposed or partially developed Retirement Ecozone Park/Center shall be entitled to pay a special 5% tax on gross income, in lieu of all national and local taxes, except real property tax on land and shall be entitled to the following non-fiscal incentives: (a) Employment of foreign national; and (b) Special Investor’s Resident Visa, as provided under Executive Order No. 63.

Page 112: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

107

Pursuant to Board Resolution No. 12-329 dated July 6, 2012, IT Parks and Buildings to be located in Metro Manila and Cebu City shall no longer be entitled to incentives. Developers and owners of new IT Parks and Buildings to be located outside Metro Manila and Cebu City shall continue to enjoy fiscal incentives. Furthermore, in order to be entitled to PEZA incentives, Ecozones such as, but not limited to manufacturing, agro-industrial, and tourism, the Ecozone must have an area of at least 25 hectares except for single locator economic zones which shall be covered by specific guidelines issued by PEZA. The Company routinely secures the required governmental approvals for its projects during the planning and construction and marketing stages of project development. The Company is not aware of any pending legislation or governmental regulation that is expected to materially affect its business. The Company believes that it has obtained the required government approvals relevant for each project at its current state of development. ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS Development projects that are classified by law as environmentally critical or projects within statutorily defined environmentally critical areas are required to obtain an ECC prior to commencement. The DENR through its regional offices or through the Environmental Management Bureau (“EMB”), determines whether a project is environmentally critical or located in an environmentally critical area. As a requisite for the issuance of an ECC, an environmentally critical project is required to submit an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) to the EMB while a project in an environmentally critical area is generally required to submit an Initial Environmental Examination (“IEE”) to the proper DENR regional office. In case of an environmentally critical project within an environmentally critical area, an EIS is required. The construction of major roads and bridges are considered environmentally critical projects for which EISs and ECCs are mandated. The EIS refers to both the document and the study of a project’s environmental impact, including a discussion of scoping agreement identifying critical issues and concerns as validated by the EMB, environmental risk assessment if determined necessary by EMB during the scoping, environmental management program, the direct and indirect consequences to human welfare and ecological as well as environmental integrity. The IEE refers to the document and the study describing the environmental impact, including mitigation and enhancement measures, for projects in environmentally critical areas. While the EIS or an IEE may vary from project to project, as a minimum, it contains all relevant information regarding the projects’ environmental effects. The entire process of organization, administration and assessment of the effects of any project on the quality of the physical, biological and socio-economic environment as well as the design of appropriate preventive, mitigating and enhancement measures is known as the EIS System. The EIS System successfully culminates in the issuance of an ECC. The issuance of an ECC is a Government certification, indicating that the proposed project or undertaking will not cause a significant negative environmental impact; that the proponent has complied with all the requirements of the EIS System and that the proponent is committed to implement its approved Environmental Management Plan in the EIS or, if an IEE was required, that it shall comply with the mitigation measures provided therein before or during the operations of the project and in some cases, during the project’s abandonment phase. The ECC also provides for other terms and conditions, any violation of which would result in a fine or the cancellation of the ECC. Project proponents that prepare an EIS are required to establish an Environmental Guarantee Fund (“EGF”) when the ECC is issued to projects determined by the DENR to pose a significant public risk to life, health, property and the environment. The EGF is intended to answer for damages caused by such a project as well as any rehabilitation and restoration measures. Project proponents that prepare an EIS are mandated to include a commitment to establish an Environmental Monitoring Fund (“EMF”) when an ECC is eventually issued. The EMF shall be used to support the activities of a multi-partite monitoring team which will be organized to monitor compliance with the ECC and applicable laws, rules and regulations.

108

Aside from the EIS and IEE, engineering, geological and geo-hazard assessment are also required for ECC applications covering subdivisions, housing and other development and infrastructure projects. All development projects, installations and activities that discharge liquid waste into and pose a threat to the environment of the Laguna de Bay Region are also required to obtain a discharge permit from the Laguna Lake Development Authority. The Company incurs expenses for the purposes of complying with environmental laws that consist primarily of payments for Government regulatory fees. Such fees are standard in the industry and are minimal. PROPERTY REGISTRATION

The Philippines has adopted a Torrens System of land registration which conclusively confirms land ownership which is binding on all persons, including the Government. Once registered, title to registered land becomes indefeasible after one year from the date of entry of the decree of registration except with respect to claims noted on the certificate of title. Title to registered lands cannot be lost through adverse possession or prescription. Presidential Decree No. 1529, as amended, codified the laws relative to land registration and is based on the generally accepted principles underlying the Torrens System. After proper surveying, application, publication and service of notice and hearing, unregistered land may be brought under the system by virtue of judicial or administrative proceedings. In a judicial proceeding, the Regional Trial Court within whose jurisdiction the land is situated confirms title to the land. Persons opposing the registration may appeal the judgment within 15 days to the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court. After the lapse of the period of appeal, the Register of Deeds may issue an Original Certificate of Title. The decree of registration may be annulled on the ground of actual fraud within one year from the date of entry of the decree of registration. Similarly, in an administrative proceeding, the land is granted to the applicant by the DENR by issuance of a patent and the patent becomes the basis for issuance of the Original Certificate of Title by the Register of Deeds. All land patents such as homestead, sales and free patents, must be registered with the appropriate registry of deeds since the conveyance of the title to the land covered thereby takes effect only upon such registration. Any subsequent transfer of encumbrance of the land must be registered in the system in order to bind third persons. Subsequent registration and a new Transfer Certificate of Title in the name of the transferee will be granted upon presentation of certain documents and payment of fees and taxes. All documents evidencing conveyances of subdivision and condominium units should also be registered with the Register of Deeds. Title to the subdivision or condominium unit must be delivered to the purchaser upon full payment of the purchase price. Any mortgage existing thereon must be released within six months from the delivery of title. To evidence ownership of condominium units, a Condominium Certificate of Title is issued by the Register of Deeds. NATIONALITY RESTRICTIONS

The Philippine Constitution limits ownership of land in the Philippines to Filipino citizens or to corporations the outstanding capital stock of which is at least 60% owned by Philippine Nationals. While the Philippine Constitution prescribes nationality restrictions on land ownership, there is generally no prohibition against foreigners owning building and other permanent structures. However, with respect to condominium developments, the foreign ownership of units in such developments is limited to 40%. Republic Act No. 7042, as amended, otherwise known as the Foreign Investments Act of 1991, and the Eleventh Regular Foreign Investment Negative List, provide that certain activities are nationalized or partly- nationalized, such that the operation and/or ownership thereof are wholly or partially reserved for Filipinos. Under these regulations, and in accordance with the Philippine Constitution, ownership of private lands is partly- nationalized and thus, landholding companies may only have a maximum of 40% foreign equity.

Page 114: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

109

For as long as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries own land in the Philippines , foreign ownership in the Company is limited to a maximum of 40% of the capital stock of the Company which is outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly, the Company shall disallow the issuance or the transfer of Shares to persons other than Philippine Nationals and shall not record transfers in its books if such issuance or transfer would result in the Company ceasing to be a Philippine National for purposes of complying with the restrictions on foreign ownership discussed above. In the Philippine Supreme Court case of Wilson P. Gamboa v. Finance Secretary Margarito B. Teves, et. al. dated June 28, 2011 (G.R. No. 176579), a case involving a public utility company (which under the Philippine Constitution is also subject to the 60-40 rule on capital ownership), the Philippine Supreme Court ruled that the term “capital”, as used in Section 11 of Article XII of the Philippine Constitution, refers only to shares of stocks entitled to vote in the election of directors and not to the total outstanding capital stock. This is because it is the said voting rights which translate to control. Subsequently and acting on the motions for reconsideration filed by various parties, the Supreme Court, sitting en banc issued on October 9, 2012 a Resolution (G.R. No. 176579) affirming their earlier ruling and denying such motions for reconsideration. Pursuant to the above ruling of the Philippine Supreme Court, the SEC, on May 20, 2013, issued Memorandum Circular No. 8 or the Guidelines on Compliance with the Filipino-Foreign Ownership Requirements Prescribed in the Constitution and/or Existing Laws by Corporations Engaged in Nationalized and Partly Nationalized Activities. The Circular provides that for purposes of determining compliance therewith, the required percentage of Filipino ownership shall be applied to BOTH (a) the total number of outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors; AND (b) the total number of outstanding shares of stock, whether or not entitled to vote in the election of directors.” A petition for certiorari has since been filed sometime in June 2013, questioning the constitutionality of the Rules on Foreign Ownership (Memorandum Circular No. 8, Series of 2013) promulgated by the SEC. This petition remains pending with the Supreme Court as of this time.

LAND RECLAMATION Land reclaimed from foreshore and reclaimed areas is public land owned by the Philippine State under the Regalian doctrine, under which the Philippine State owns all lands and waters in Philippine territory. The Government may allow land to become privately owned under relevant laws. The Constitution prohibits corporations from acquiring such public land unless such land is first reclassified as private. An additional rule applies to individual Philippine citizens; such individuals may also acquire public land classified as agricultural land and only up to 12.0 hectares of land classified as such. Commonwealth Act No. 141, or the Public Land Act, provides that before the Government alienates such public land, the President of the Philippines, upon the DENR’s recommendation, must reclassify these lands as alienable or disposable. However, Supreme Court decisions, including those dealing with reclaimed foreshore land, have ruled that such reclassification to make public land alienable may also be implied and a clear intent exhibited by the Government may effect the necessary reclassification. The Philippine Reclamation Authority (formerly the Public Estates Authority), has been delegated the authority to approve reclamation projects, and is authorized by its charter to develop, lease and sell any and all kinds of lands managed by it; the disposition of reclaimed lands is subject to the above constitutional restrictions. PROPERTY TAXATION Real property taxes are payable annually based on the property’s assessed value. The assessed value of property and improvements vary depending on the location, use and the nature of the property. Land is ordinarily assessed at 20% to 50% of its fair market value; buildings may be assessed at up to 80% of their fair market value; and machinery may be assessed at 40% to 80% of its fair market value. Real property taxes may not exceed 2% of the assessed value in municipalities and cities within Metro Manila or in other chartered cities and 1% in all other areas. An additional special education fund tax of 1% of the assessed value of the property is also levied annually.

PHILIPPINE COMPETITION ACT

Republic Act No. 10667, or the Philippine Competition Act was signed into law on July 21, 2015 and took effect on August 8, 2015. This is the first antitrust statute in the Philippines and provides the competition framework in the Philippines. The Philippine Competition Act was enacted to provide free and fair competition in trade, industry and all commercial economic activities. To implement its objectives, the Philippine Competition Act provides for the creation of a Philippine Competition Commission (the “Commission”), an independent quasi-judicial agency with five commissioners. The Philippine Competition Act prohibits anti-competitive agreements between or among competitions, and mergers and acquisitions which have the object or effect of substantially preventing, restricting or lessening competition. It also prohibits practices which involve abuse of dominant position, such as selling goods or services below cost to drive out competition, imposing barriers to entry or prevent competitors from growing, and setting prices or terms that discriminate unreasonably between customers or sellers or the same goods, subject to exceptions.

On June 3, 2016 the Commission issued the implementing rules and regulations of the Philippine Competition Act (“IRR”). Under the IRR and pursuant to Commission Memorandum Circular No. 18-001 dated 1 March 2018 and Commission Advisory 2019-001, as a general rule, parties to a merger or acquisition are required to provide notification when: (a) The aggregate annual gross revenues in, into or from the Philippines, or value of the assets in the Philippines of the ultimate parent entity of the acquiring or the acquired entities exceed ₱5.6 Billion; and (b) the value of the transaction exceeds ₱2.2 Billion, as determined in the IRR; while parties to a joint venture transaction shall be subject to the notification requirement if either (a) the aggregate value of the assets that will be combined in the Philippines or contributed into the proposed joint venture exceeds ₱2.2 Billion, or (b) the gross revenues generated in the Philippines by assets to be combined in the Philippines or contributed into the proposed joint venture exceed ₱2.2 Billion.

Violations of the Philippine Competition Act and its IRR have severe consequences. Under the law and the IRR, a transaction that meets the thresholds and does not comply with the notification requirements and waiting periods shall be considered void and will subject the parties to an administrative fine of one percent (1%) to five percent (5%) of the value of the transaction. Fines of between ₱50 million and ₱250 million may also be imposed by the courts on entities that enter into these defined anti-competitive agreements between competitors that are either prohibited per se or that have the object of substantially preventing, restricting or lessening competition by setting, limiting or controlling production, markets, technical development or investment or by dividing or sharing the market. Directors and management personnel of such entities, who knowingly and willfully participate in such criminal offenses, may also be sentenced to imprisonment for two to seven years. Treble damages may be imposed by the Commission or the courts, as the case may be, where the violation involves the trade or movement of basic necessities and prime commodities.

§ In case of resignation, disqualification or cessation of directorship before the next annual

Otherwise, the vacancy shall be filled by stockholders in a regular or special meeting called for that purpose. The director so elected to fill a vacancy shall serve only for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings The Issuer is not aware of any of the following events having occurred during the past five years up to the date of this Prospectus that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any director, nominee for election as Director, executive officer, underwriter or controlling person of the Issuer:

(a) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general

partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to

that time;

(b) any conviction by final judgment, including the nature of the offense, in a criminal proceeding,

domestic or foreign, or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding, domestic or foreign,

excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses;

(c) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or

vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, permanently or

temporarily enjoining, barring suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of

business, securities, commodities or banking activities; and

(d) being found by a domestic or foreign court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC

or comparable foreign body, or a domestic or foreign exchange or other organized trading

market or self-regulatory organization, to have violated a securities or commodities law or

regulation, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Issuer’s platform of governance remains rooted in its Manual on Corporate Governance and its Code of Ethics. The Manual on Corporate Governance (the “Governance Manual”), which is completely aligned with the SEC Revised Code of Corporate Governance, institutionalizes the principles of good corporate governance in the entire organization. It lays down the Issuer’s compliance system and identifies the responsibilities of the Board and management in relation to good corporate governance. The Governance Manual also provides for the Issuer’s policies on disclosure and transparency, the conduct of communication and training programs on corporate governance, the rights of all shareholders, and the protection of the interests of non-controlling shareholders. Under the Governance Manual, it is the Board’s responsibility to foster the long term success of the Issuer and secure its sustained competitiveness in a manner consistent with its fiduciary responsibility, which it shall exercise with the highest standards of corporate governance, in the best interests of the Issuer, its shareholders and other stakeholders. The Code of Ethics (the “Code”) serves as a guiding principle for the Issuer’s directors, officers and employees in the performance of their duties and responsibilities, and in their business transactions

Page 145: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

140

with investors, creditors, customers, contractors, suppliers, regulators, and the public. To supplement the Code, the Issuer adopted policies on acceptance of gifts, insider trading, conflict of interest, related-party transactions, to name a few. The Issuer has also implemented a whistleblowing policy, referred to as the Policy on Accountability, Integrity and Vigilance (PAIV), which was adopted to create an environment where concerns and issues, made in good faith, may be raised freely within the organization. The Issuer continues to align with corporate governance best practices through the continuous review and development of its policies and programs in conjunction with the continuous enhancement of its enterprise risk management systems. The Board is composed of eight (8) directors, three (3) of whom are non-executive independent directors, in the persons of Mr. Jose L. Cuisia, Jr., Mr. Gregorio U. Kilayko, and Mr. Joselito H. Sibayan. Under the Issuer’s Governance Manual, an independent director must possess all of the qualifications and none of the disqualifications of a regular director. He must also be independent of Management, substantial shareholdings and material relations, whether it be business or otherwise, which could reasonably be perceived to impede the performance of independent judgment. The Board is supported in its corporate governance functions by five committees: the Executive Committee, the Audit Committee, the Risk Oversight Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee, and the Related Party Transactions Committee. All Board Committees have adopted their respective charters which identify the Committees’ composition, roles and responsibilities, in alignment with the Issuer’s Governance Manual. Annually, the Corporate Governance Committee facilitates the evaluation of the performance of the Board as a whole, its respective Board Committees, the individual directors and the President, based on duties and responsibilities provided in the Issuer’s Governance Manual and By-Laws. The annual evaluation also serves as a venue for identifying areas for improvement in terms of trainings, continuing education programs or any other form of assistance that the directors may need in the performance of their duties. The evaluation forms also include support services given to the Board, such as the quality and timeliness of information provided to them, the frequency and conduct of regular, special or committee meetings and their accessibility to Management, the Corporate Secretary and the Board advisors. The Issuer provides access to training courses to directors as a matter of continuous professional education and to maintain and enhance their skills as directors. For the year 2018, the Issuer engaged the Institute of Corporate Directors (August 8 and November 7), McKinsey and Company (September 19), and Good Governance Advocates and Practitioners of the Philippines (October 11) to provide an exclusive training for the Issuer’s Board of Directors and key executives covering such topics as Financial Technology (FinTech), Sustainability, Blockchain Technology, Data Privacy, Technological innovation affecting businesses and industries, and Responding to cyber-security risks. As a testament to the Issuer’s unwavering commitment to good corporate governance, ethics and integrity, in 2018, the ASEAN Corporate Governance Award, the most prestigious in the ASEAN region, recognized the Issuer as one of the Top 3 in ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard in the Philippines, PLCs Category and Top 10 ASEAN Publicly Listed Company PLCs Category.

These earnings are not available for dividend distribution until such time that the Issuer receives the dividends from the subsidiaries. In 2019, the Board of Directors approved the declaration of cash dividend of P0.35 per share or P10,108 million to stockholders of record as of May 8, 2019, P8 million of which was received by SMDC.

This was paid on May 23, 2018. The Company’s subsidiaries have no defined dividend policy. The amount of dividend declaration annually by SMPH and its subsidiaries depend on the net income, cash availability and the investment projects as approved by the Board of Directors of SMPH and each of the subsidiaries.

TAXATION The statements herein regarding taxation are based on the laws in force as of the date of this Prospectus and are subject to any changes in law occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Debt Securities and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in securities or commodities) may be subject to special rules. Prospective purchasers of the Debt Securities are advised to consult their own tax advisers concerning the overall tax consequences of their ownership of the Debt Securities.

Philippine Taxation On January 1, 2018, Republic Act No. 10963, otherwise known as the “Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion” (TRAIN) Act, took into effect. The TRAIN Act amended provisions of the Tax Code including provisions on Documentary Stamp Tax, tax on interest income and other distributions, Estate Tax, and Donor’s Tax. As used in this section, the term “non-resident alien” means an individual whose residence is not within the Philippines and who is not a citizen of the Philippines. A non-resident alien who is actually within the Philippines for an aggregate period of more than 180 days during any calendar year is considered a “non-resident alien doing business in the Philippines”; however, a non-resident alien who is actually within the Philippines for an aggregate period of 180 days or less during any calendar year may be considered a “non-resident alien not engaged in trade or business within the Philippines”. A “non-resident foreign corporation” is a foreign corporation not engaged in trade or business within the Philippines. TAXATION OF INTEREST

The Tax Code provides that interest-bearing obligations of Philippine residents are Philippine sourced income subject to Philippine income tax. Interest income derived by Philippine citizens and alien resident individuals from the Debt Securities is thus subject to income tax, which is withheld at source, at the rate of 20% based on the gross amount of interest. Generally, interest on the Debt Securities received by non-resident aliens engaged in trade or business in the Philippines is subject to a 20% final withholding tax while that received by non-resident aliens not engaged in trade or business is subject to a final withholding tax rate of 25%. Interest income received by domestic corporations and resident foreign corporations from the Debt Securities is subject to a final withholding tax rate of 20%. Interest income received by non-resident foreign corporations from the Debt Securities is subject to a 30% final withholding tax. The foregoing rates are subject to further reduction by any applicable tax treaties in force between the Philippines and the country of residence of the non-resident owner. Most tax treaties to which the Philippines is a party generally provide for a reduced tax rate of 15% in cases where the interest which arises in the Philippines is paid to a resident of the other contracting state. However, most tax treaties also provide that reduced withholding tax rates shall not apply if the recipient of the interest who is a resident of the other contracting state, carries on business in the Philippines through a permanent establishment and the holding of the relevant interest-bearing instrument is effectively connected with such permanent establishment. TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OR ENTITLEMENT TO PREFERENTIAL TAX RATE

The tax authorities have prescribed certain procedures for availment of tax treaty relief on interest under Revenue Memorandum Order No. 8-2017. The preferential treaty rates for interest shall be applied and used outright by the withholding agent/income payer upon submission of the Certificate of Residence for Tax Treaty Relief (CORTT) Form by the non-resident before interest is credited. The CORTT Form is made up of two parts: Part I states the information of the income recipient/beneficial

Page 154: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

149

owner and the certification from the competent tax authority or authorized tax office of country of residence. Part II includes the information of the withholding agent/income payor, details of income payment and the affixture of signatures by both the non-resident income recipient/beneficial owner and the income payor. The withholding agent/income payor shall submit an original copy of the duly accomplished CORTT Form within 30 days after the remittance of the withholding tax to the BIR. In the case of staggered payment of interest, the withholding agent shall submit an updated Part II of the CORTT Form within 30 days after payment of withholding taxes. The BIR will no longer issue a ruling for the said CORTT Form submissions but the compliance check and post reporting validation on withholding tax obligations and confirmation of appropriateness of availment of treaty benefits shall be part of BIR’s regular audit investigations. For claims of tax exemption, BIR Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 8-2014 mandates the Company, as a withholding agent, to require from individuals and entities claiming tax exemption a copy of a valid, current, and subsisting tax exemption certificate or ruling before payment of the related income. The tax exemption certificate or ruling must explicitly recognize the tax exemption, as well as the corresponding exemption from withholding tax. Failure on the part of the taxpayer to present the said tax exemption certificate or ruling shall subject him to the payment of the appropriate withholding taxes due on the transaction. If the Company withheld taxes, or withheld the regular rate of tax imposed pursuant to the Tax Code on interest, the concerned bondholder may file a claim for a refund from the Philippine taxing authorities on the basis of a tax exemption or applicable tax treaty. VALUE-ADDED TAX Gross receipts arising from the sale of the Debt Securities in the Philippines by dealers in securities shall be subject to a 12% value-added tax. The term “gross receipt” means gross selling price less acquisition cost of the Debt Securities sold. GROSS RECEIPTS TAX

Bank and non-bank financial intermediaries performing quasi-banking functions are subject to gross receipts tax on gross receipts derived from sources within the Philippines in accordance with the following schedule: On interest, commissions and discounts from lending activities as well as income from financial leasing, on the basis of remaining maturities of instruments from which such receipts are derived:

Maturity period is five years or less 5% Maturity period is more than five years 1%

Non-bank financial intermediaries not performing quasi-banking functions doing business in the Philippines are likewise subject to gross receipts tax. Gross receipts of such entities derived from sources within the Philippines from interests, commissions and discounts from lending activities are taxed in accordance with the following schedule based on the remaining maturities of the instruments from which such receipts are derived:

Maturity period is five years or less 5% Maturity period is more than five years 1%

In case the maturity period of the instruments held by banks, non-bank financial intermediaries

Page 155: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

150

performing quasi-banking functions and non-bank financial intermediaries not performing quasi-banking functions is shortened through pre-termination, then the maturity period shall be reckoned to end as of the date of pretermination for purposes of classifying the transaction and the correct rate shall be applied accordingly. Net trading gains realized within the taxable year on the sale or disposition of the Debt Securities by banks and nonbank financial intermediaries performing quasi-banking functions shall be taxed at 7%. DOCUMENTARY STAMP TAX

A documentary stamp tax is imposed upon the issuance of debt instruments issued by Philippine companies, such as the Debt Securities, at the rate of P1.50 for each P200, or fractional part thereof, of the issue price of such debt instruments; provided that, for debt instruments with terms of less than one year, the documentary stamp tax to be collected shall be of a proportional amount in accordance with the ratio of its term in number of days to 365 days. The documentary stamp tax is collectible wherever the document is made, signed, issued, accepted, or transferred, when the obligation or right arises from Philippine sources, or the property is situated in the Philippines. Any applicable documentary stamp taxes on the original issue shall be paid by the Issuer for its own account. TAXATION ON SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

Income Tax

Any gain realized from the sale, exchange or retirement of debt instruments as a rule, form part of the gross income of the sellers, for purposes of computing the relevant taxable income subject to ordinary income tax rates (at graduated rates from 20%-35% for individuals and 30% for domestic and resident foreign corporations). On the other hand, gains realized by non-residents from the sale or transfer of debt instruments are subject to final withholding tax at the rate of (i) 25%, if the holder is a non-resident alien not engaged in trade or business within the Philippines, or (ii) 30%, if the holder is a non-resident foreign corporation. If the debt instrument are sold by a seller, who is an individual and who is not a dealer in securities, who has held the debt instrument for a period of more than 12 months prior to the sale, only 50% of any capital gain will be recognized and included in the sellers’ gross taxable income. However, under the Tax Code, any gain realized from the sale, exchange or retirement of bonds, debentures and other certificates of indebtedness with an original maturity date of more than five years (as measured from the date of issuance of such bonds, debentures or other certificates of indebtedness) shall not be subject to income tax. Moreover, any gain arising from such sale, regardless of the original maturity date of the debt instruments, may be exempt from income tax pursuant to various income tax treaties to which the Philippines is a party, and subject to procedures prescribed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue for the availment of tax treaty benefits. Estate and Donor‘s Tax

The transfer by a deceased person, whether a Philippine resident or a non-Philippine resident, to his heirs of the Debt Securities shall be subject to an estate tax which is levied on the net estate of the deceased at a uniform rate of 6.0%. A bondholder shall be subject to donor’s tax based on the transfer of the Debt Securities by gift at a uniform rate of 6.0% on the basis of the total gifts in excess of P250,000.00 made during a calendar year for both individuals and corporate holders, whether the donor is a stranger or not. The estate or donor’s taxes payable in the Philippines may be credited with the amount of any estate

Page 156: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

151

or donor's taxes imposed by the authority of a foreign country, subject to limitations on the amount to be credited, and the tax status of the donor. The estate tax and the donor‘s tax, in respect of the Debt Securities and the Debt Securities, shall not be collected (a) if the deceased, at the time of death, or the donor, at the time of the donation, was a citizen and resident of a foreign country which, at the time of his death or donation, did not impose a transfer tax of any character in respect of intangible personal property of citizens of the Philippines not residing in that foreign country; or (b) if the laws of the foreign country of which the deceased or donor was a citizen and resident, at the time of his death or donation, allows a similar exemption from transfer or death taxes of every character or description in respect of intangible personal property owned by citizens of the Philippines not residing in the foreign country. In case the Debt Securities and the Debt Securities are transferred for less than an adequate and full consideration in money or money's worth, the amount by which the fair market value of the Debt Securities exceeded the value of the consideration may be deemed a gift and may be subject to donor‘s taxes. However, a sale, exchange, or other transfer made in the ordinary course of business (a transaction which is bona fide, at arm’s length, and free from any donative intent), will be considered as made for an adequate and full consideration in money or money’s worth. Documentary Stamp Tax

No documentary stamp tax is imposed on the subsequent sale or disposition of the Debt Securities, trading the Debt Securities in a secondary market or through an exchange. However, if the transfer constitutes a renewal of the Debt Securities, documentary stamp tax is payable anew.

The Stockholders and the Board of DirectorsSM Prime Holdings, Inc.

Management isresponsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements inaccordance with Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is toexpress a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Philippine Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim

Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financialinformation consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, andapplying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted inaccordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Consequently, it does not enable us to obtain assurance that wewould become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not expressan audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim

condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance withPAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

As at September 30, 2019, there were no significant changes in thecomposition of the Company and in the Parent Company’s ownership interests in its subsidiariesexcept for acquisition of non-controlling interests in Prime Metroestate, Inc. (PMI) (see Note 5).

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and AssumptionsThe preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management tomake judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses,assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However,uncertainty about these estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that could require amaterial adjustment to the carrying amount of the affected asset or liability in the future.

Except as otherwise stated, there were no significant changes in the significant accounting judgments,estimates, and assumptions used by the Company for the nine-month period endedSeptember 30, 2019.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies

Changes in Accounting Policies and DisclosuresThe accounting policies and method of computation adopted in the preparation of the interimcondensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation ofthe Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018,except for the following amendments and new accounting standards which the Company has adoptedstarting January 1, 2019. Adoption of these pronouncements did not have any significant impact onthe Company’s financial position or performance unless otherwise indicated.

Amendments to PFRS 9, Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation, allow debtinstrument to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, provided that the contractual cashflows are ‘solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding’ (theSPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for thatclassification. The amendments to PFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterionregardless of the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract andirrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination ofthe contract.

PFRS 16, Leases, sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation anddisclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheetmodel similar to the accounting for finance leases under PAS 17, Leases. The standard includestwo recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ assets (e.g., personal computers)and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencementdate of a lease, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability)and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognize the interest expense on the leaseliability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

*SGVFS038338*

Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events(e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in anindex or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognize the amountof the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Lessor accounting under PFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting underPAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as inPAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.

PFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under PAS 17.

A lessee can choose to apply the standard using either a full retrospective or a modifiedretrospective approach. The standard’s transition provisions permit certain reliefs.

The Company applied PFRS 16 using modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effectof initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application of January 1, 2019.The Company also elected to use the recognition exemptions for low-value assets and short-termleases.

The Company has various lease contracts, as lessee, for parcels of land which were accounted foras operating leases under PAS 17. Upon adoption of PFRS 16, the Company applied a singlerecognition and measurement approach for all these leases.

Set out below are the new accounting policies of the Company and its effect upon initial adoptionof PFRS 16.

Right-of-Use Assets (ROUA). The Company recognizes ROUA at the commencement date ofthe lease. ROUA are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairmentlosses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROUA includesthe amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease paymentsmade at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Upon transitiondate, the ROUA are initially measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities plusprepayments less accrued rent and subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis over theshorter of its estimated useful life and remaining lease term.

The Company recognized ROUA amounting to P=19,615 million, including land use rights ofP=9,976 million previously presented as part of “Other noncurrent assets”. These werepresented under “Investment properties - net” account in the interim consolidated balancesheet as at January 1, 2019. Moreover, accrued rent pertaining to land leases previouslyaccounted for as operating leases under PAS 17 amounting to P=1,772 million as ofDecember 31, 2018 was adjusted to ROUA as at January 1, 2019.

Lease Liabilities. At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes leaseliabilities measured at the present value of fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixedpayments). Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method.

The Company recognized lease liabilities amounting to P=11,264 million. These werepresented as part of “Accounts payable and other current liabilities” and “Other noncurrentliabilities” in the interim consolidated balance sheet as at January 1, 2019.

*SGVFS038338*

Short-term Leases and Leases of Low-value Assets. The Company applies the short-termlease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease termof 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). Italso applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption. These are recognized asexpense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As at December 31, 2018, the undiscounted operating lease commitments amounted toP=31,068 million. Upon adoption of PFRS 16, this amount was discounted using incrementalborrowing rate ranges from 4.95% to 5.18% resulting to recognized lease liabilities ofP=11,264 million (net of discounted lease commitments related to low-value assets) atJanuary 1, 2019.

Amendments to PAS 19, Employee Benefits, Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement,address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during areporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment orsettlement occurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to:

Determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment,curtailment or settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net definedbenefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets afterthat event.

Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailmentor settlement using: the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offeredunder the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasurethat net defined benefit liability (asset).

The amendments also clarify that an entity first determines any past service cost, or a gain or losson settlement, without considering the effect of the asset ceiling. This amount is recognized inprofit or loss. An entity then determines the effect of the asset ceiling after the plan amendment,curtailment or settlement. Any change in that effect, excluding amounts included in the netinterest, is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The amendments apply to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occurring on or after thebeginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after January 1, 2019.

Amendments to PAS 28, Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures, clarify that anentity applies PFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equitymethod is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate orjoint venture (long-term interests). This clarification is relevant because it implies that theexpected credit losses (ECL) model in PFRS 9 applies to such long-term interests.

The amendments also clarified that, in applying PFRS 9, an entity does not take account of anylosses of the associate or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment,recognized as adjustments to the net investment in the associate or joint venture that arise fromapplying PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.

The amendments should be applied retrospectively effective from January 1, 2019.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, addresses theaccounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the applicationof PAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of PAS 12, nor does itspecifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain taxtreatments.

The interpretation specifically addresses the following:Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separatelyThe assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxationauthoritiesHow an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused taxcredits and tax ratesHow an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances

An entity must determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or togetherwith one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolutionof the uncertainty should be followed.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle

Amendments to PFRS 3, Business Combinations, and PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, Previously

Held Interest in a Joint Operation, clarify that, when an entity obtains control of a business that isa joint operation, it applies the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages,including remeasuring previously held interests in the assets and liabilities of the joint operationat fair value. In doing so, the acquirer remeasures its entire previously held interest in the jointoperation.

A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain jointcontrol of the joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business asdefined in PFRS 3. The amendments clarify that the previously held interests in that jointoperation are not remeasured.

An entity applies those amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is onor after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2019and to transactions in which it obtains joint control on or after the beginning of the first annualreporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

Amendments to PAS 12, Income Tax Consequences of Payments on Financial Instruments

Classified as Equity, clarify that the income tax consequences of dividends are linked moredirectly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions toowners. Therefore, an entity recognizes the income tax consequences of dividends in profit orloss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognizedthose past transactions or events.

An entity applies those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or afterJanuary 1, 2019.

Amendments to PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, Borrowing Costs Eligible for Capitalization,

clarify that an entity treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made todevelop a qualifying asset when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare that assetfor its intended use or sale are complete.

*SGVFS038338*

An entity applies those amendments to borrowing costs incurred on or after the beginning of theannual reporting period in which the entity first applies those amendments. An entity appliesthose amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

March 2019 IFRIC Agenda Decision on Over Time Transfer of Constructed Good (PAS 23,

Borrowing Costs). In March 2019, the IFRIC issued update summarizing the decisions reachedin its public meetings. The March 2019 IFRIC update includes Agenda Decision on thecapitalization of borrowing cost on over time transfer of constructed goods. The IFRIC AgendaDecision clarified whether borrowing costs may be capitalized in relation to the construction of aresidential multi-unit real estate development (building) which are sold to customers prior to startof construction or completion of the development.

Applying paragraph 8 of PAS 23, Borrowing Cost, an entity capitalizes borrowing costs that aredirectly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part ofthe cost of that asset. Paragraph 5 of PAS 23 defines a qualifying asset as ‘an asset thatnecessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale’. The March2019 IFRIC Update clarified that the related assets that might be recognized in the real estatecompany’s financial statements (i.e., installment contract receivable, contract asset, or inventory)will not qualify as a qualifying asset and the corresponding borrowing cost may no longer becapitalized.

22. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Company’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise of cash and cashequivalents, accrued interest and other receivables, equity instruments at FVOCI and bank loans. Themain purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Company’s operations. The Companyhas other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arisedirectly from its operations.

Page 187: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

*SGVFS038338*

The Company also enters into derivative transactions, principally, cross currency swaps, principal

only swaps, interest rate swaps and forward swaps. The purpose is to manage the interest rate andforeign currency risks arising from the Company’s operations and its sources of finance(see Note 23).

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreigncurrency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price risk. The Company’s BOD and managementreview and agree on the policies for managing each of these risks.

Interest Rate RiskThe Company’s policy is to manage its interest rate risk related to its financial instruments withfloating interest and/or fixed interest rates by using a mix of fixed and floating rate debts. To managethis mix in a cost-efficient manner, it enters into interest rate swaps, in which the Company agrees toexchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amountscalculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated toeconomically hedge underlying debt obligations. As at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018,after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 83% of its long-termborrowings are at a fixed rate of interest.

Foreign Currency RiskForeign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company’s policy is to manage its foreign currency risk mainly from U.S. dollar-denominateddebt issuances by entering into foreign currency swap contracts, cross-currency swaps, foreigncurrency call options, non-deliverable forwards and foreign currency range options aimed at reducingand/or managing the adverse impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on financial performanceand cash flow.

The Company’s foreign currency-denominated monetary assets amounted to US$36 million(P=1,844 million) as at September 30, 2019 and US$43 million (P=2,252 million) as at December 31,2018. The Company’s foreign currency-denominated monetary liabilities amounted to nil as atSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

In translating the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets to peso amounts, the exchange ratesused were ¥7.15 to US$1.00 and ¥6.88 to US$1.00, the China Yuan Renminbi to U.S. dollarexchange rate as at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively and P=51.83 to US$1.00and P=52.58 to US$1.00, the Philippine peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate as at September 30, 2019and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Liquidity RiskLiquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company may encounter difficulties in raising fundsto meet commitments from financial instruments or that a market for derivatives may not exist insome circumstance.

The Company seeks to manage its liquidity profile to be able to finance capital expenditures andservice maturing debts. To cover its financing requirements, the Company intends to use internallygenerated funds and proceeds from debt and equity issues.

Page 188: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

- 23 -

*SGVFS038338*

As part of its liquidity risk management program, the Company regularly evaluates its projected andactual cash flow information and continuously assesses conditions in the financial markets foropportunities to pursue fund-raising initiatives. These initiatives may include bank loans and debtcapital and equity market issues.

Credit RiskCredit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instruments orcustomer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from itsoperating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including depositswith banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

The changes in the gross carrying amount of receivables and unbilled revenue from sale of real estateduring the periods did not materially affect the allowance for ECLs.

Equity Price RiskEquity price risk arises from the changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individualstocks traded in the stock exchange.

As a policy, management monitors its equity price risk pertaining to its investments in quoted equitysecurities which are classified as equity instruments at FVOCI in the interim consolidated balancesheets based on market expectations. Material equity investments within the portfolio are managedon an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by management.

Capital ManagementCapital includes equity attributable to the owners of the Parent.

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strongcredit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholdervalue.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in the light of changes ineconomic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust thedividend payment to shareholders, pay-off existing debts, return capital to shareholders or issue newshares.

respectively.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financialinstrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Equity Instruments at FVTPL. The fair values are based on the quoted market prices of theinstruments.

Derivative Instruments. The fair values are based on quotes obtained from counterparties.

Equity Instruments at FVOCI. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organizedfinancial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business.

Long-term Debt. Fair value is based on the following:

Debt Type Fair Value Assumptions

Fixed Rate Loans Estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of futurecash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans.Discount rates used range from 3.08% to 6.48% and 3.82% to8.45% as at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018,respectively.

Variable Rate Loans For variable rate loans that re-price every three months, thecarrying value approximates the fair value because of recent andregular repricing based on current market rates. For variable rateloans that re-price every six months, the fair value is determinedby discounting the principal amount plus the next interestpayment amount using the prevailing market rate for the periodup to the next repricing date. Discount rates used was 6.95% to6.99% and 6.98% to 9.01% as at September 30, 2019 andDecember 31, 2018, respectively.

Tenants’ Deposits, Liability for Purchased Land and Other Noncurrent Liabilities. The estimatedfair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates. Thediscount rates used range from 4.70% to 5.04% and 7.80% to 7.85% as at September 30, 2019 andDecember 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company assessed that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, cash inescrow, bank loans and accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair valuesdue to the short-term nature and maturities of these financial instruments.

There were no financial instruments subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement that werenot off-set in the interim consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value HierarchyThe Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financialinstruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, except for related embeddedderivatives which are either classified as Level 2 or 3;

Level 2: Those measured using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observablefor the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and,

Level 3: Those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data(unobservable inputs).

Derivative Financial Instruments Accounted for as Cash Flow Hedges

Cross Currency Swaps. In 2019, SM Land (China) Limited entered into cross-currency swaptransactions to hedge both the foreign currency and interest rate exposures on its U.S. dollar-denominated five-year term loans (the hedged loans) obtained on April 15, 2019 (see Note 16).

Under the floating-to-fixed cross-currency swaps, it effectively converted the hedged US dollar-denominated loans into China renminbi-denominated loans. Details of the floating-to-fixed cross-currency swaps are as follows:

Swap the face amount of the loans at US$ for their agreed China renminbi equivalents(¥1,919 million for US$286 million) with the counterparty banks and to exchange, at maturitydate, the principal amount originally swapped.

Pay fixed interest at the China renminbi notional amount and receive floating interest on the US$notional amount, on a quarterly basis, simultaneous with the interest payments on the hedgedloans at an interest rates ranging from 3.86% to 3.97%.

In June and July 2018, SMPH entered into cross-currency swap transactions to hedge both the foreigncurrency and interest rate exposures on its U.S. dollar-denominated five-year term syndicated loans(the hedged loans) obtained on July 30, 2018.

Details of the floating-to-fixed cross-currency swaps are as follows:

Swap the face amount of the loans at US$ for their agreed Philippine peso equivalents(P=3,199 million for US$60 million and P=2,667 million for US$50 million on June 14, 2023) withthe counterparty banks and to exchange, at maturity date, the principal amount originallyswapped.

Pay fixed interest at the Philippine peso notional amount and receives floating interest on the US$notional amount, on a quarterly to semi-annual basis, simultaneous with the interest payments onthe hedged loans at an interest rates ranging from 6.37% to 6.39%.

In 2017, SM Land (China) Limited entered into cross-currency swap transactions to hedge both theforeign currency and interest rate exposures on its U.S. dollar-denominated five-year term loans (thehedged loans) obtained on May 8, 2017 and October 16, 2017 (see Note 16).

Details of the floating-to-fixed cross-currency swaps are as follows:

Swap the face amount of the loans at US$ for their agreed China renminbi equivalents(¥672 million for US$100 million) with the counterparty banks and to exchange, at maturity date,the principal amount originally swapped.

Pay fixed interest at the China renminbi notional amount and receives floating interest on the US$notional amount, on a quarterly basis, simultaneous with the interest payments on the hedgedloans at an interest rates ranging from 4.95% to 5.43%.

The outstanding cross-currency swaps have a fair value of P=127 million as of September 30, 2019.

Principal only Swaps. In 2016 and 2017, SM Land (China) Limited entered into principal only swaptransactions to hedge the foreign currency exposures amounting to $420 million of five-year termsyndicated loans and advances obtained on January 11, 2016 to March 22, 2016 andJanuary 11-17, 2017 (see Note 16). Under the principal only swap, it effectively converted the hedgedUS dollar-denominated loans and advances into China renminbi-denominated loans.

As at September 30, 2019, SM Land (China) Limited’s outstanding principal only swaps havenotional amounts totaling US$270 million which were fixed to US$:¥ exchange rates ranging from6.458 to 6.889 and will mature on January 29, 2021. Fair value of the outstanding principal onlyswaps amounted to P=723 million as of September 30, 2019.

Interest Rate Swaps. In 2017 and 2016, SM Land (China) Limited entered into US$ interest rateswap agreement with notional amount of US$150 million and US$270 million, respectively. Underthe agreement, SM Land (China) Limited effectively converts the floating rate U.S. dollar-denominated loan into fixed rate loan (see Note 16). Fair value of the outstanding interest rate swapsamounted to P=55 million.

As the terms of the swaps have been negotiated to match the terms of the hedged loans, the hedgeswere assessed to be effective. No ineffectiveness was recognized in the interim consolidatedstatements of income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Cumulative fair value changes recognized in equity under other comprehensive income from thematured interest rate swaps amounting to P=18 million gain was recognized in the interim consolidatedstatements of income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Assessment of Hedge EffectivenessThere is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the termsof the cross-currency swaps, principal only swaps and interest rate swaps match the terms of thehedged items (i.e., notional amount and expected payment date). The Company has established ahedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the cross-currency swaps,principal only swaps and interest rate swaps are identical to the hedged risk components. To test thehedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changesin the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged itemsattributable to the hedged risks.

The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedgeditems and the hedging instruments and the counterparties’ credit risk differently impacting the fairvalue movements of the hedging instruments.

The fair value of the outstanding cross-currency swaps, principal only swaps and interest rate swapsamounting to P=905 million gain and P=124 million gain as at September 30, 2019 and December 31,2018, respectively, was taken to equity under other comprehensive income. For the nine-monthperiods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, no ineffectiveness was recognized in the interimconsolidated statements of income. Foreign currency translation arising from the hedged loanamounting to P=1,484 million loss and P=2,096 million gain for the nine-month periods endedSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018 was recognized in the interim consolidated statements of income.Foreign exchange loss equivalent to the same amounts were recycled from equity to the interimconsolidated statements of income during the same period.

Other Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges

Forward Swaps. In 2018, SM Land (China) Limited entered into forward swap transactions to capthe foreign currency exposures on its U.S. dollar-denominated three-year term syndicated loans (thehedged loans) obtained on March 14, 2018 to May 25, 2018 (see Note 16).

Adoption of PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard, PFRS 15,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, under modified retrospective approach. The adoption ofPFRS 15 resulted in significant changes in the Company�s revenue processes, policies and procedures andrevenue recognition accounting policy. The following matters are significant to our audit because theseinvolve application of significant judgment and estimation: (1) identification of the contract for sale ofreal estate property that would meet the requirements of PFRS 15; (2) assessment of the probability thatthe entity will collect the consideration from the buyer; (3) determination of the transaction price;(4) application of the output method as the measure of progress in determining revenue from real estatesale; (5) determination of the actual costs incurred as cost of real estate sold; and (6) recognition of coststo obtain a contract.

The Company identifies the contract that meets all the criteria required under PFRS 15 for a valid revenuecontract. In the absence of a signed contract to sell, the Company identifies alternative documentationthat are enforceable and that contains each party�s rights regarding the real estate property to betransferred, the payment terms and the contract�s commercial substance.

In evaluating whether collectability of the amount of consideration is probable, the Company considersthe significance of the buyer�s initial payments in relation to the total contract price (or buyer�s equity).Collectability is also assessed by considering factors such as past history with the buyer, age of theoutstanding receivables and pricing of the property. Management regularly evaluates the historical salescancellations if it would still support its current threshold of buyers� equity before commencing revenuerecognition.

In determining the transaction price, the Company considers the selling price of the real estate propertyand other fees collected from the buyers that are not held on behalf of other parties.

In measuring the progress of its performance obligation over time, the Company uses the output method.This method measures progress based on physical proportion of work done on the real estate projectwhich requires technical determination by the Company�s project engineers. This is based on themonthly project accomplishment report prepared by the third-party project managers as approved by theconstruction managers.

The Company identifies sales commissions after contract inception as costs of obtaining a contract. Forcontracts which qualified for revenue recognition, the Company capitalizes the total sales commissionsdue to sales agent as costs to obtain a contract and recognizes the related commissions payable. TheCompany uses percentage of completion (POC) method in amortizing sales commissions consistent withthe Company�s revenue recognition policy.

The disclosures related to the adoption of PFRS 15 are included in Note 3 to the consolidated financialstatements.

Audit Response

We obtained an understanding of the Company�s revenue recognition processes and tested relevantcontrols. We reviewed the PFRS 15 adoption papers and accounting policies prepared by management,including revenue streams identification and scoping, and contract analysis.

For the identification of the alternative documentation for sale of real estate property (in the absence of asigned contract to sell) that would meet the requirements of PFRS 15, our audit procedures include,among others, involvement of our internal specialist in reviewing the Company�s legal basis regarding theenforceability of the alternative documentation against previous court decisions, buyers� behavior andindustry practices.

For the buyers� equity, we evaluated management�s basis of the buyer�s equity by comparing this to thehistorical analysis of sales collections from buyers with accumulated payments above the collectionthreshold.

For the determination of the transaction price, we obtained an understanding of the nature of other feescharged to the buyers. For selected contracts, we agreed the amounts excluded from the transaction priceagainst the expected amounts required to be remitted to the government based on existing tax rules andregulations (e.g., documentary stamp taxes, transfer taxes and real property taxes).

For the application of the output method, in determining revenue from sale of real estate, we obtained anunderstanding of the Company�s processes for determining the POC, and performed tests of the relevantcontrols. We obtained the certified POC reports prepared by the third-party project managers andassessed their competence and objectivity by reference to their qualifications, experience and reportingresponsibilities. For selected projects, we conducted ocular inspections, made relevant inquiries andobtained the supporting details of POC reports showing the completion of the major activities of theproject construction.

For the cost of real estate sold, we obtained an understanding of the Company�s cost accumulationprocess and performed tests of the relevant controls. For selected projects, we traced costs accumulated,including those incurred but not yet billed costs, to supporting documents such as contractors billinginvoices, certificates of progress acceptance, official receipts, among others.

For the recognition of costs to obtain a contract, we obtained an understanding of the sales commissionsprocess. For selected contracts, we agreed the basis for calculating the sales commissions capitalized andportion recognized in profit or loss, particularly (a) the percentage of commissions due against contractswith sales agents, (b) the total commissionable amount (e.g., net contract price) against the relatedcontract to sell, and, (c) the POC against the POC used in recognizing the related revenue from sale ofreal estate.

We test computed the transition adjustments and evaluated the disclosures made in the consolidatedfinancial statements on the adoption of PFRS 15.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained inthe audits, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial

Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements inaccordance with PFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable thepreparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company�sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company�s financial reporting process.

Auditor�s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor�s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with PSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidatedfinancial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:

· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivenessof the Company�s internal control.

· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.

· Conclude on the appropriateness of management�s use of the going concern basis of accounting based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company�s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor�s report to the relateddisclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor�s report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

· Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or businessactivities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We areresponsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible forour audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor�s report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter shouldnot be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Companyobtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control isachieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement withthe investee and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over theinvestee. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accountedfor as an equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:

· Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

· Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

· Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;

· Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;

· Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;

· Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

· Reclassifies the parent�s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensiveincome to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not held by theCompany and are presented separately in the consolidated statements of income and within equitysection in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to equity holders of theparent.

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and AssumptionsThe preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments,estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets andliabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertaintyabout these estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that could require a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of the affected asset or liability in the future.

JudgmentsIn the process of applying the Company�s accounting policies, management has made the followingjudgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on theamounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Existence of a Contract. The Company�s primary document for a contract with a customer is a signedcontract to sell or the combination of its other signed documentation such as reservation agreement,official receipts, quotation sheets and other documents, would contain all the criteria to qualify ascontract with the customer under PFRS 15.

In addition, part of the assessment process of the Company before revenue recognition is to assess theprobability that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange forthe real estate property that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectabilityof an amount of consideration is probable, an entity considers the significance of the buyer�s initialpayments in relation to the total contract price.

Measure of Progress. The Company has determined that output method used in measuring theprogress of the performance obligation faithfully depicts the Company�s performance in transferringcontrol of real estate development to the customers.

Operating Lease Commitments - as Lessor. The Company has entered into commercial propertyleases in its investment property portfolio. Management has determined, based on an evaluation ofthe terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards ofownership of the properties and thus accounts for the contracts as operating leases. The ownership of

*SGVFS032857*

the asset is not transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, the lessee has no option topurchase the asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date theoption is exercisable, and, the lease term is not for the major part of the asset�s economic life.

Rent income amounted to P=57,163 million, P=51,406 million and P=45,693 million for the years endedDecember 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively (see Note 27).

Operating Lease Commitments - as Lessee. The Company has entered into various lease agreementsas a lessee. Management has determined that all the significant risks and benefits of ownership ofthese properties, which the Company leases under operating lease arrangements, remain with thelessor. Accordingly, the leases were accounted for as operating leases.

Rent expense amounted to P=1,730 million, P=1,598 million and P=1,451 million for the years endedDecember 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively (see Notes 23 and 27).

Estimates and AssumptionsThe key estimates and assumptions that may have significant risks of causing material adjustments tothe carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below.

Revenue Recognition Method and Measure of Progress. The percentage-of-completion method isused to recognize income from sales of projects where the Company has material obligations underthe sales contract to complete the project after the property is sold, the equitable interest has beentransferred to the buyer, construction is beyond preliminary stage (i.e., engineering, design work,construction contracts execution, site clearance and preparation, excavation and the buildingfoundation are finished), and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

Revenue from sale of real estate amounted to P=35,873 million, P=29,434 million and P=25,000 millionfor the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, while the cost of real estate soldamounted to P=17,769 million, P=15,152 million and P=13,117 million for the years ended December 31,2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively (see Note 23).

Provision for Expected Credit Losses (ECL) of Receivables and Contract Assets (or referred also in

the consolidated financial statements as �Unbilled revenue from sale of real estate�). The Companymaintains an allowance for impairment loss at a level considered adequate to provide for potentialuncollectible receivables. The Company uses a provision matrix for rent and other receivables andunbilled revenue from sale of real estate, and vintage approach for receivable from sale of real estateto calculate ECLs. The Company performs a regular review of the age and status of these accounts,designed to identify accounts for impairment. The assessment of the correlation between historicalobserved default rates, forecasted economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. Theamount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions.

The allowance for ECLs amounted to P=1,034 million and P=1,054 million as at December 31, 2018and January 1, 2018, respectively.

Net Realizable Value of Condominium and Residential Units for Sale and Current Portion of Land

and Development. The Company writes down the carrying value of condominium and residentialunits for sale and current portion of land and development when the net realizable value becomeslower than the carrying value due to changes in market prices or other causes. The net realizablevalue is assessed with reference to market price at the balance sheet date for similar completedproperty, less estimate cost to complete the construction and estimated cost to sell. The carryingvalue is reviewed regularly for any decline in value.

*SGVFS032857*

The carrying values of condominium and residential units for sale and current portion of land anddevelopment amounted to P=8,088 million and P=29,487 million as at December 31, 2018, respectively,and P=8,733 million and P=22,518 million as at December 31, 2017, respectively (see Notes 9 and 10).

Estimated Useful Lives of Property and Equipment and Investment Properties. The useful life ofeach of the Company�s property and equipment and investment properties is estimated based on theperiod over which the asset is expected to be available for use. Such estimation is based on acollective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similarassets. The estimated useful life of each asset is reviewed periodically and updated if expectationsdiffer from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescenceand legal or other limitations on the use of the asset. It is possible, however, that future financialperformance could be materially affected by changes in the amounts and timing of recorded expensesbrought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful life ofany property and equipment and investment properties would increase the recorded costs andexpenses and decrease noncurrent assets.

The aggregate carrying values of property and equipment and investment properties amounted toP=294,994 million and P=274,578 million as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively(see Notes 13 and 14).

Impairment of Other Nonfinancial Assets. The Company assesses at each reporting date whetherthere is an indication that an item of investments in associates and joint ventures, property andequipment, investment properties, noncurrent portion of land and development and other noncurrentassets (excluding time deposits) may be impaired. Determining the value in use of the assets, whichrequires the determination of future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use andultimate disposition of such assets, requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that canmaterially affect the consolidated financial statements. Future events could cause the Company toconclude that these assets are impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material impacton the consolidated financial position and performance.

The preparation of the estimated future cash flows involves judgment and estimations. While theCompany believes that its assumptions are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in theseassumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and may lead to futureimpairment charges.

The aggregate carrying values of investments in associates and joint ventures, property andequipment, investment properties, noncurrent portion of land and development and other noncurrentassets (excluding time deposits) amounted to P=449,555 million and P=373,915 million as atDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively (see Notes 13, 14, 15 and 16).

Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets. The Company�s assessment on the recognition of deferred taxassets on deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of excess minimum corporateincome tax (MCIT) and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO) is based on the projected taxableincome in future periods. Based on the projection, not all deductible temporary differences andcarryforward benefits of excess MCIT and NOLCO will be realized.

Deferred tax assets - net recognized in the consolidated balance sheets amounted to P=1,084 millionand P=1,114 million as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively (see Note 26).

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. The Company carries and discloses certain assets and liabilitiesat fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting judgments and estimates. The significantcomponents of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e.,

Page 212: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

*SGVFS032857*

foreign exchange rates, interest rates and volatility rates). The amount of changes in fair value woulddiffer if the Company utilized different valuation methodologies and assumptions. Any changes inthe fair value of these assets and liabilities that are carried in the consolidated financial statementswould directly affect consolidated statements of income and consolidated other comprehensiveincome.

The fair value of assets and liabilities are discussed in Notes 14 and 29.

Contingencies. The Company is currently involved in various legal and administrative proceedings.The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these proceedings has been developed inconsultation with in-house as well as outside legal counsel handling defense in these matters and isbased upon an analysis of potential results. The Company currently does not believe that theseproceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position andperformance. It is possible, however, that future consolidated financial performance could bematerially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of strategies relating to theseproceedings. No provisions were made in relation to these proceedings (see Note 32).

3. Summary of Significant Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies

Changes in Accounting PoliciesThe accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except thatthe Company has adopted the following new accounting pronouncements starting January 1, 2018.Adoption of these pronouncements did not have any significant impact on the Company�s financialposition or performance unless otherwise indicated.

Effective beginning on or after January 1, 2018

· Amendments to PFRS 2, Share-based Payment, Classification and Measurement of Share-based

Payment Transactions

The amendments to PFRS 2 address three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on themeasurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction; the classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; and theaccounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based paymenttransaction changes its classification from cash-settled to equity-settled. Entities are required toapply the amendments to: (1) share-based payment transactions that are unvested or vested butunexercised as of January 1, 2018, (2) share-based payment transactions granted on or afterJanuary 1, 2018 and to (3) modifications of share-based payments that occurred on or afterJanuary 1, 2018. Retrospective application is permitted if elected for all three amendments and ifit is possible to do so without hindsight.

The amendments are not applicable to the Company since it has no share-based paymenttransactions.

· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, replaces PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition andMeasurement, for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, bringing together allthree aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement;impairment; and hedge accounting.

Page 213: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

*SGVFS032857*

The Company applied PFRS 9 using modified retrospective approach, with an initial applicationdate of January 1, 2018. The effect of adopting PFRS 9 follows:

(a) Classification and measurement

Under PFRS 9, debt instruments are subsequently measured at FVTPL, amortized cost, orFVOCI. The classification is based on two criteria: the Company�s business model for managingthe assets; and whether the instruments� contractual cash flows represent �solely payments ofprincipal and interest� on the principal amount outstanding.

The assessment of the Company�s business model was made as of the date of initial application,January 1, 2018, and then applied prospectively to those financial assets that were notderecognized before January 1, 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debtinstruments are solely comprised of principal and interest was made based on the facts andcircumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets.

The classification and measurement requirements of PFRS 9 did not have a significant impact onthe Company. The Company continued measuring at fair value all financial assets previouslyheld at fair value under PAS 39.

The following are the changes in the classification of the Company�s financial assets:

§ Cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets (i.e., cash in escrow, timedeposits) amounting to P=98,068 million as at December 31, 2017 previously classified asloans and receivables are held to collect contractual cash flows and give rise to cash flowsrepresenting solely payments of principal and interest. These are now classified andmeasured as debt instruments at amortized cost, except for unbilled revenue from sale of realestate amounting to P=34,083 million, beginning January 1, 2018.

§ Investments held for trading amounting to P=731 million as at December 31, 2017 werereclassified as financial assets at FVOCI.

§ Equity instruments previously classified as available-for-sale (AFS) financial assetsamounting to P=31,106 million as at December 31, 2017 are now classified and measured asequity instrument at FVOCI. There were no impairment losses recognized in profit or lossfor these investments in prior periods.

There are no changes in classification and measurement for the Company�s financial liabilities.

(b) Impairment

The adoption of PFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Company�s accounting for impairmentlosses for financial assets by replacing PAS 39�s incurred loss approach with a forward-lookingECL approach.

The adoption of ECL approach has no significant impact on the allowance for impairment lossesrecognized in the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Hedge accounting

At the date of initial application, all of the Company�s existing hedging relationships wereeligible to be treated as continuing hedging relationships. Before the adoption of PFRS 9, the

Page 214: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

*SGVFS032857*

Company designated the change in fair value of the entire cross currency swaps, interest rateswaps and principal only swaps contracts as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of thecross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and principal only swaps contracts are recognized inOCI and accumulated as a separate component of equity under net fair value changes on cashflow hedges.

· Amendments to PFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, Applying PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, withPFRS 4, address concerns arising from implementing PFRS 9, the new financial instrumentsstandard before implementing the new insurance contracts standard. The amendments introducetwo options for entities issuing insurance contracts: a temporary exemption from applyingPFRS 9 and an overlay approach. The temporary exemption is first applied for reporting periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2018. An entity may elect the overlay approach when it firstapplies PFRS 9 and apply that approach retrospectively to financial assets designated ontransition to PFRS 9. The entity restates comparative information reflecting the overlay approachif, and only if, the entity restates comparative information when applying PFRS 9.

The amendments are not applicable to the Company since none of the entities within theCompany have activities that are predominantly connected with insurance or issue insurancecontracts.

· PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, supersedes PAS 11, Construction Contracts,PAS 18, Revenue, and related interpretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to allrevenue arising from contracts with its customers. PFRS 15 establishes a five-step model toaccount for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue berecognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled inexchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

PFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant factsand circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. Thestandard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and thecosts directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard requires extensivedisclosures.

On February 14, 2018, the Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC) issued PIC Q&A 2018-12(PIC Q&A) which provides guidance on some implementation issues of PFRS 15 affecting realestate industry. On October 25, 2018 and February 8, 2019, the Philippine SEC issued SECMemorandum Circular No. 14 Series of 2018 and SEC Memorandum Circular No. 3 Series of2019, respectively, providing relief to the real estate industry by deferring the application of thefollowing provisions of the above PIC Q&A for a period of 3 years:

§ Exclusion of land and uninstalled materials in the determination of POC discussed in PICQ&A 2018-12-E

§ Accounting for significant financing component discussed in PIC Q&A 2018-12-D

§ Accounting for Common Usage Service Area (CUSA) charges discussed in PIC Q&A2018-12-H

Under the same SEC Memorandum Circular No. 3 Series of 2019, the adoption of PIC Q&A2018-14: PFRS 15 � Accounting for Cancellation of Real Estate Sales was also deferred.

*SGVFS032857*

The Company availed of the deferral of adoption of the above specific provisions, except for landexclusion in determination of POC. Had these provisions been adopted, it would have impactedretained earnings as at January 1, 2018 and revenue from real estate sales, cost of real estate sold,other income and real estate inventories for 2018.

Given the deferral of the implementation of certain provisions of PIC Q&A 2018-12 and PICQ&A 2018-14, adoption of PFRS 15 have no material impact to the consolidated financialstatements.

· PIC Q&A 2018-11, Classification of Land by Real Estate Developer, clarifies the correctclassification of purchased raw land by real estate developers to inventory and investmentproperty, and current and noncurrent assets. The adoption of this PIC Q&A resulted to thereclassification of land and development from real estate inventories to investment property(see Note 10).

· PIC Q&A 2018-15, Classification of Advances to Contractors in the Nature of Prepayments:Current vs. Non-current, aims to classify the prepayment based on the actual realization of suchadvances based on the determined usage/realization of the asset to which it is intended for (e.g.inventory, investment property, property plant and equipment). The Company�s policy on theclassification of prepayments is consistent with the interpretation hence adoption of the PIC Q&Adid not have any significant impact in the Company.

· Amendments to PAS 28, Measuring an Associate or Joint Venture at Fair Value (Part of Annual

Improvements to PFRS 2014 - 2016 Cycle), clarify that an entity that is a venture capitalorganization, or other qualifying entity, may elect, at initial recognition on an investment-by-investment basis, to measure its investments in associates and joint ventures at FVTPL. Theyalso clarify that if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate orjoint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity method, electto retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture tothe investment entity associate�s or joint venture�s interests in subsidiaries. This election is madeseparately for each investment entity associate or joint venture, at the later of the date on which(a) the investment entity associate or joint venture is initially recognized; (b) the associate or jointventure becomes an investment entity; and (c) the investment entity associate or joint venture firstbecomes a parent.

· Amendments to PAS 40, Investment Property, Transfers of Investment Property, clarify when anentity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or outof investment property. The amendments state that a change in use occurs when the propertymeets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the changein use. A mere change in management�s intentions for the use of a property does not provideevidence of a change in use. The amendments should be applied prospectively to changes in usethat occur on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first appliesthe amendments. Retrospective application is only permitted if this is possible without the use ofhindsight.

· Philippine Interpretation International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee(IFRIC) - 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration, clarifies that, indetermining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense orincome (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liabilityrelating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entityinitially recognizes the nonmonetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advanceconsideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must

Page 216: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

- 10 -

*SGVFS032857*

determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.Entities may apply the amendments on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity mayapply the interpretation prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in its scope that areinitially recognized on or after the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity firstapplies the interpretation or the beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparativeinformation in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies theinterpretation.

Effective beginning on or after January 1, 2019

Pronouncements issued but not yet effective are listed below. Unless otherwise indicated, theCompany does not expect that the future adoption of the said pronouncements will have a significantimpact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to adopt the followingpronouncements when they become effective.

· Amendments to PFRS 9, Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation, allow debtinstrument to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, provided that the contractual cashflows are �solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding� (theSPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for thatclassification. The amendments to PFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterionregardless of the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract andirrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination ofthe contract. The amendments should be applied retrospectively and are effective from January 1,2019, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ofadopting this standard.

· PFRS 16, Leases, sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation anddisclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheetmodel similar to the accounting for finance leases under PAS 17, Leases. The standard includestwo recognition exemptions for lessees � leases of �low-value� assets (e.g., personal computers)and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencementdate of a lease, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability)and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognize the interest expense on the leaseliability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events(e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in anindex or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognize the amountof the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Lessor accounting under PFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today�s accounting underPAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as inPAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.

PFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under PAS 17.

Early application is permitted, but not before an entity applies PFRS 15. A lessee can choose toapply the standard using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Thestandard�s transition provisions permit certain reliefs. The Company is currently assessing theimpact of adopting PFRS 16.

*SGVFS032857*

· Amendments to PAS 19, Employee Benefits, Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement,

address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during areporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlementoccurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to:

§ Determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment,curtailment or settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net definedbenefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets afterthat event.

§ Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailmentor settlement using: the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offeredunder the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasurethat net defined benefit liability (asset).

The amendments also clarify that an entity first determines any past service cost, or a gain or losson settlement, without considering the effect of the asset ceiling. This amount is recognized inprofit or loss. An entity then determines the effect of the asset ceiling after the plan amendment,curtailment or settlement. Any change in that effect, excluding amounts included in the netinterest, is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The amendments apply to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occurring on or after thebeginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after January 1, 2019, with earlyapplication permitted. These amendments will apply only to any future plan amendments,curtailments, or settlements of the Company.

· Amendments to PAS 28, Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures, clarify that anentity applies PFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equitymethod is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate orjoint venture (long-term interests). This clarification is relevant because it implies that the ECLmodel in PFRS 9 applies to such long-term interests.

The amendments also clarified that, in applying PFRS 9, an entity does not take account of anylosses of the associate or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment,recognized as adjustments to the net investment in the associate or joint venture that arise fromapplying PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.

The amendments should be applied retrospectively and are effective from January 1, 2019, withearly application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting thisstandard.

· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, addresses theaccounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the applicationof PAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of PAS 12, nor does itspecifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain taxtreatments.

The interpretation specifically addresses the following:§ Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately§ The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation

§ How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused taxcredits and tax rates

§ How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances

An entity must determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or togetherwith one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolutionof the uncertainty should be followed. The Company is currently assessing the impact ofadopting this standard.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle

· Amendments to PFRS 3, Business Combinations, and PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, Previously

Held Interest in a Joint Operation, clarify that, when an entity obtains control of a business that isa joint operation, it applies the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages,including remeasuring previously held interests in the assets and liabilities of the joint operationat fair value. In doing so, the acquirer remeasures its entire previously held interest in the jointoperation.

A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain jointcontrol of the joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business asdefined in PFRS 3. The amendments clarify that the previously held interests in that jointoperation are not remeasured.

An entity applies those amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is onor after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2019and to transactions in which it obtains joint control on or after the beginning of the first annualreporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted. TheCompany is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

· Amendments to PAS 12, Income Tax Consequences of Payments on Financial Instruments

Classified as Equity, clarify that the income tax consequences of dividends are linked moredirectly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions toowners. Therefore, an entity recognizes the income tax consequences of dividends in profit orloss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognizedthose past transactions or events.

An entity applies those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,2019, with early application is permitted. These amendments are not relevant to the Companybecause dividends declared by the Company do not give rise to tax obligations under the currenttax laws.

· Amendments to PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, Borrowing Costs Eligible for Capitalization,

clarify that an entity treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made todevelop a qualifying asset when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare that assetfor its intended use or sale are complete.

An entity applies those amendments to borrowing costs incurred on or after the beginning of theannual reporting period in which the entity first applies those amendments. An entity appliesthose amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlyapplication permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

*SGVFS032857*

Effective beginning on or after January 1, 2020

· Amendments to PFRS 3, Definition of a Business, clarify the minimum requirements to be abusiness, remove the assessment of a market participant�s ability to replace missing elements, andnarrow the definition of outputs. The amendments also add guidance to assess whether anacquired process is substantive and add illustrative examples. An optional fair valueconcentration test is introduced which permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired setof activities and assets is not a business.

An entity applies those amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on orafter January 1, 2020, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently assessing theimpact of adopting this standard.

· Amendments to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and PAS 8, Accounting Policies,Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, Definition of Material, refine the definition ofmaterial in PAS 1 and align the definitions used across PFRSs and other pronouncements. Theyare intended to improve the understanding of the existing requirements rather than to significantlyimpact an entity�s materiality judgements.

An entity applies those amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on orafter January 1, 2020, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently assessing theimpact of adopting this standard.

Effective beginning on or after January 1, 2021

· PFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, covers recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure.Once effective, PFRS 17 will replace PFRS 4, Insurance Contracts. This new standard oninsurance contracts applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insuranceand re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certainguarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scopeexceptions will apply.

The overall objective of PFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts thatis more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in PFRS 4, which arelargely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, PFRS 17 provides acomprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. The coreof PFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:

§ A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable feeapproach)

§ A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts

PFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, withcomparative figures required. Early application is permitted. The Company is currentlyassessing the impact of adopting this standard.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investmentsthat are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or lessfrom acquisition date and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Determination of Fair ValueFair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability inan orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair valuemeasurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liabilitytakes place either:

· in the principal market for the asset or liability, or

· in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participantswould use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economicbest interest.

A fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset takes into account a market participant�s ability togenerate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to anothermarket participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for whichsufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputsand minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financialstatements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowestlevel input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurringbasis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy byre-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Company determines the policies and procedures for both recurring and non-recurring fair valuemeasurements. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of

assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and thelevel of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company recognizes transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels by re-assessingcategorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as awhole) as at the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

�Day 1� Difference. Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fairvalue of other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuationtechnique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Company recognizes thedifference between the transaction price and fair value (a �Day 1� difference) in the consolidatedstatement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset or liability. Incases where unobservable data is used, the difference between the transaction price and model valueis only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs become observable orwhen the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Company determines the appropriatemethod of recognizing the �Day 1� difference amount.

Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement

Effective beginning January 1, 2018

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financialliability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial Assets

Initial recognition and measurement. Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, assubsequently measured at amortized cost, FVOCI, and FVTPL.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset�s contractualcash flow characteristics and the Company�s business model for managing them. The Companyinitially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL,transaction costs.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, it needs togive rise to cash flows that are �solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)� on the principalamount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrumentlevel.

The Company�s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financialassets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will resultfrom collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established byregulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date,i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

*SGVFS032857*

Subsequent measurement. For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified infour categories:

· Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments): The Company measures financial assets atamortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

§ The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assetsin order to collect contractual cash flows, and

§ The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the EIR method and aresubject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset isderecognized, modified or impaired.

The Company�s financial assets at amortized cost includes cash and cash equivalents, receivables,cash in escrow (included under �Prepaid expenses and other current assets� account) and timedeposits (included under �Other noncurrent assets� account). Other than those financial assets atamortized cost whose carrying values are reasonable approximation of fair values, the aggregatecarrying values of financial assets under this category amounted to P=2,393 million as atDecember 31, 2018 (see Note 29).

· Financial assets at FVOCI (debt instruments): The Company measures debt instruments atFVOCI if both of the following conditions are met:

§ The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assetsin order to collect contractual cash flows, and

§ Selling and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Classified under this category are debt instruments held for trading. The carrying values offinancial assets classified under this category amounted to nil as at December 31, 2018(see Note 29).

· Financial assets at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for trading,financial assets designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL, or financial assets mandatorilyrequired to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they areacquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, includingseparated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designatedas effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments ofprincipal and interest are classified and measured at FVTPL, irrespective of the business model.Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortized cost or FVOCI, asdescribed above, debt instruments may be designated at FVTPL on initial recognition if doing soeliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.

Financial assets at FVTPL are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with netchanges in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

This category includes derivative instruments. The carrying values of financial assets classifiedunder this category amounted to P=853 million as at December 31, 2018 (see Note 29).

*SGVFS032857*

A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with a financial liability or non-financial host, isseparated from the host and accounted for as a separate derivative if: the economic characteristicsand risks are not closely related to the host; a separate instrument with the same terms as theembedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and the hybrid contract is notmeasured at FVTPL. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in FVTPL.Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantlymodifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial assetout of the FVTPL category.

A derivative embedded within a hybrid contract containing a financial asset host is not accountedfor separately. The financial asset host together with the embedded derivative is required to beclassified in its entirety as a financial asset at FVTPL.

· Financial assets at FVOCI (equity instruments). Upon initial recognition, the Company can electto classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments at FVOCI when they meet thedefinition of equity under PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, and are not held fortrading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends arerecognized in the consolidated statements of income when the right of payment has beenestablished, except when the Company benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of thecost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments atFVOCI are not subject to impairment assessment.

The Company elected to classify irrevocably its investments in equity instruments under thiscategory.

Classified under this category are the investments in shares of stocks of certain companies. Thecarrying values of financial assets classified under this category amounted to P=23,532 million asat December 31, 2018 (see Note 29).

Derecognition. A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of aCompany of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Company�sconsolidated balance sheet) when:

· The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or,

· the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed anobligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a�pass-through� arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risksand rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially allthe risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into apass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards ofownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards ofthe asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferredasset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognized anassociated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis thatreflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that takesthe form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carryingamount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required torepay.

*SGVFS032857*

Impairment of financial assets. The Company recognizes an allowance for ECLs for all debtinstruments not held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flowsdue in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive,discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows willinclude cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to thecontractual terms. The Company uses a provision matrix for rent and other receivables and unbilledrevenue from sale of real estate, vintage approach for receivables from sale of real estate andsimplified approach (low credit risk simplification) for treasury assets to calculate ECLs.

The Company applies provision matrix and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime ECLs. Therefore,the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based onlifetime ECLs at each reporting date, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors andthe economic environment.

Vintage approach accounts for expected credit losses by calculating the cumulative loss rates of agiven real estate receivable pool. It derives the probability of default from the historical data of ahomogenous portfolio that share the same origination period. The information on the number ofdefaults during fixed time intervals of the accounts is utilized to create the probability model. Itallows the evaluation of the loan activity from its origination period until the end of the contractperiod. In addition to life of loan loss data, primary drivers like macroeconomic indicators ofqualitative factors such as, but not limited to, forward-looking data on inflation rate was added to theexpected loss calculation to reach a forecast supported by both quantitative and qualitative datapoints. The probability of default is applied to the estimate of the loss arising on default which isbased on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company wouldexpect to receive, including from the repossession of the subject real estate property, net of cashoutflows. For purposes of calculating loss given default, accounts are segmented based on the type ofunit. In calculating the recovery rates, the Company considered collections of cash and/or cash fromresale of real estate properties after foreclosure, net of direct costs of obtaining and selling the realestate properties after the default event such as commission, refurbishment, payment required underMaceda law, cost to complete (for incomplete units). As these are future cash flows, these arediscounted back to the time of default using the appropriate effective interest rate, usually being theoriginal effective interest rate (EIR) or an approximation thereof.

The Company considers a financial asset in default generally when contractual payments are 120 dayspast due or when the sales are cancelled supported by a notarized cancellation letter executed by theCompany and unit buyer. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financialasset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely toreceive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any creditenhancements held by the Company.

A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractualcash flows.

Effective before January 1, 2018

Date of Recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in theconsolidated balance sheets when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.In the case of a regular way purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, asapplicable, are done using settlement date accounting. Regular way purchases or sales are purchasesor sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established byregulation or convention in the market place. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis.

*SGVFS032857*

Initial Recognition of Financial Instruments. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fairvalue, which is the fair value of the consideration given (in case of an asset) or received (in case of aliability). The initial measurement of financial instruments, except for those classified as FVTPL,includes transaction costs.

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets andfinancial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and receivables, AFS investments and other financial liabilities.The classification depends on the purpose for which the instruments are acquired and whether theyare quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification at initial recognition and,where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this classification at every reporting date.

· Financial assets at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for tradingand financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling orrepurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including any separated derivatives, are alsoclassified under financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL, unless these are designated as hedginginstruments in an effective hedge or financial guarantee contracts. Gains or losses on investmentsheld for trading are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under �Others - net�account. Interest income on investments held for trading is included in the consolidatedstatement of income under the �Interest and dividend income� account. Instruments under thiscategory are classified as current assets if these are held primarily for the purpose of trading orexpected to be realized within 12 months from balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classifiedas noncurrent assets.

Financial assets may be designated by management at initial recognition as FVTPL when any ofthe following criteria is met:

§ the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that wouldotherwise arise from measuring the assets or recognizing gains or losses on a different basis;or

§ the assets are part of a group of financial assets which are managed and their performancesare evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management orinvestment strategy; or

§ the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivativedoes not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that itwould not be separately recorded.

Classified as financial assets at FVTPL are the Company�s investments held for trading andderivative assets. The aggregate carrying values of financial assets under this category amountedto P=4,278 million as at December 31, 2017.

· Loans and Receivables. Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed ordeterminable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with theintention of immediate or short-term resale and are not designated as AFS investments orfinancial assets at FVTPL.

*SGVFS032857*

After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized costusing the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculatedby taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part ofthe effective interest rate. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement ofincome when the loans and receivables are derecognized and impaired, as well as through theamortization process. Loans and receivables are included under current assets if realizability orcollectability is within twelve months from reporting period. Otherwise, these are classified asnoncurrent assets.

Classified under this category are cash and cash equivalents, receivables (including noncurrentportion of receivables from sale of real estate), cash in escrow (included under �Prepaid expensesand other current assets� account) and time deposits (included under �Other noncurrent assets�account). Other than those loans and receivables whose carrying values are reasonableapproximation of fair values, the aggregate carrying values of financial assets under this categoryamounted to P=19,654 million as at December 31, 2017.

· AFS Investments. AFS investments are nonderivative financial assets that are designated underthis category or are not classified in any of the other categories. These are purchased and heldindefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in marketconditions. Subsequent to initial recognition, AFS investments are carried at fair value in theconsolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such assets are reported as net unrealizedgain or loss on AFS investments in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income until theinvestment is derecognized or the investment is determined to be impaired. On derecognition orimpairment, the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the consolidated statement ofcomprehensive income is transferred to the consolidated statement of income. Interest earned onholding AFS investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income using theeffective interest method. Assets under this category are classified as current assets if expected tobe disposed of within twelve months from reporting period and as noncurrent assets if expecteddate of disposal is more than twelve months from reporting period.

Classified under this category are the investments in quoted and unquoted shares of stocks ofcertain companies. The carrying values of financial assets classified under this categoryamounted to P=31,106 million as at December 31, 2017.

Impairment of financial assets. The Company assesses at each reporting period whether a financialasset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets isdeemed to be impaired, if and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one ormore events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and thatloss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or a group offinancial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment may includeindications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty,default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enterbankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there ismeasurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economicconditions that correlate with defaults.

· Financial assets carried at amortized cost. The Company first assesses whether objectiveevidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant, andindividually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it isdetermined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financialasset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similarcredit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for

Page 227: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

- 21 -

*SGVFS032857*

impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairmentloss is or continues to be recognized are not included in the collective impairment assessment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried atamortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference betweenthe asset�s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding futurecredit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset�s original effectiveinterest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).

The carrying amount of the impaired asset shall be reduced through the use of an allowanceaccount. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the consolidated statement of income.Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the originaleffective interest rate of the asset. Loans and receivables together with the associated allowanceare written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral, if any, hasbeen realized or has been transferred to the Company. If, in a subsequent period, the amount ofthe impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairmentwas recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or decreased by adjustingthe allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in theconsolidated statement of income under �Others - net� account.

· Financial Assets Carried at Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has beenincurred in an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair valuecannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled bydelivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as thedifference between the asset�s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cashflows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

· AFS Investments. In the case of equity instruments classified as AFS investments, evidence ofimpairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in fair value of investments belowits cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the differencebetween the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financialasset previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income - is removed from theconsolidated statement of comprehensive income and recognized in the consolidated statement ofincome. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidatedstatement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in theconsolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS investments, impairment is assessed based onthe same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Future interest income is based onthe reduced carrying amount of the asset and is accrued based on the rate of interest used todiscount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual isrecorded as part of �Interest and dividend income� account in the consolidated statement ofincome. If, in subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increased and the increase canbe objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in theconsolidated statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidatedstatement of income.

Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement. Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, asfinancial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowings and payables, or as derivatives designated ashedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

Page 228: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

- 22 -

*SGVFS032857*

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowingsand payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement. The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories:

· Financial liabilities at FVTPL. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includefinancial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition asat FVTPL.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose ofrepurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including any separated derivatives, are alsoclassified under liabilities at FVTPL, unless these are designated as hedging instruments in aneffective hedge or financial guarantee contracts. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading arerecognized in the consolidated statement of income under �Others - net� account. Classified asfinancial liabilities at FVTPL are the Company�s derivative liabilities amounting toP=335 million and P=777 million as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively (see Note 29).

· Loans and borrowings. This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held for tradingor not designated as at FVTPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities arisingfrom operations or borrowings. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowingsare subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses arerecognized in the consolidated statement of income when the loans and borrowings arederecognized, as well as through the amortization process. Loans and borrowings are includedunder current liabilities if settlement is within twelve months from reporting period. Otherwise,these are classified as noncurrent liabilities.

Classified under this category are loans payable, accounts payable and other current liabilities,long-term debt, tenants� deposits, liability for purchased land and other noncurrent liabilities(except for taxes payables and other payables covered by other accounting standards). Other thanthose other financial liabilities whose carrying values are reasonable approximation of fair values,the aggregate carrying values of financial liabilities under this category amounted toP=228,983 million and P=190,846 million as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively(see Note 29).

Derecognition. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability isdischarged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another fromthe same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantiallymodified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability andthe recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized inthe consolidated statement of income.

Offsetting Financial InstrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidatedbalance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to set off the recognized amounts and thereis intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. TheCompany assesses that it has a currently enforceable right of offset if the right is not contingent on afuture event, and is legally enforceable in the normal course of business, event of default, and eventof insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company and all of the counterparties. This is not generally thecase with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented at gross in theconsolidated balance sheet.

*SGVFS032857*

Classification of Financial Instruments Between Liability and EquityA financial instrument is classified as liability if it provides for a contractual obligation to:

· deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity;

· exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that arepotentially unfavorable to the Company; or

· satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financialasset for a fixed number of own equity shares.

If the Company does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financialasset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability.

The components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements areaccounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount afterdeducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of theliability component on the date of issue.

Debt Issue CostsDebt issue costs are presented as reduction in long-term debt and are amortized over the terms of therelated borrowings using the effective interest method.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement. The Company uses derivative financialinstruments, such as non-deliverable forwards, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and principalonly swaps contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks. Such derivativefinancial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract isentered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assetswhen the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

The Company only has hedges classified as cash flow hedges. These hedge the exposures tovariability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognizedasset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in anunrecognized firm commitment.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedgerelationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective andstrategy for undertaking the hedge.

Before 1 January 2018, the documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, thehedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Company will assess theeffectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument�s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changesin the hedged item�s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges areexpected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and areassessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughoutthe financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

Effective January 1, 2018, the documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, thehedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Company will assess whether thehedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of sources of

Page 230: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

*SGVFS032857*

hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies forhedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:

· There is �an economic relationship� between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

· The effect of credit risk does not �dominate the value changes� that result from that economicrelationship.

· The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of thehedged item that the Company actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that theCompany actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.

Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as describedbelow:

Cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognizedin OCI in the net fair value changes on cash flow hedges, while any ineffective portion is recognizedimmediately in the consolidated statement of income. The net fair value changes on cash flow hedgesis adjusted to the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulativechange in fair value of the hedged item.

The Company uses cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and principal only swaps contracts tohedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks.

Changes in the fair value of the cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and principal only swapscontracts are recognized in OCI and accumulated as a separate component of equity under Net fairvalue changes on cash flow hedges.

Before 1 January 2018, the Company designated all of the cross currency swaps, interest rate swapsand principal only swaps contracts as hedging instrument. Any gains or losses arising from changesin the fair value of derivatives were taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion ofcash flow hedges, which were recognized in OCI and later reclassified to profit or loss when thehedge item affects profit or loss.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company designates only the elements of the cross currency swaps,interest rate swaps and principal only swaps contracts as hedging instruments to achieve its riskmanagement objective. These elements are recognized in OCI and accumulated in a separatecomponent of equity under net fair value changes on cash flow hedges.

The amounts accumulated in OCI are accounted for, depending on the nature of the underlyinghedged transaction. If the hedged transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial item, the amount accumulated in equity is removed from the separate component of equityand included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability. This is not areclassification adjustment and will not be recognized in OCI for the period. This also applies wherethe hedged forecast transaction of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability subsequentlybecomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied.

For any other cash flow hedges, the amount accumulated in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss as areclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows affectprofit or loss.

If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in OCI mustremain in accumulated OCI if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, theamount will be immediately reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. After

*SGVFS032857*

discontinuation, once the hedged cash flow occurs, any amount remaining in accumulated OCI mustbe accounted for depending on the nature of the underlying transaction as described above.

Condominium and Residential Units for Sale and Current Portion of Land and DevelopmentCondominium and residential units for sale and current portion of land and development, orcollectively, real estate inventories, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Netrealizable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less costs to complete and theestimated cost to make the sale. Current portion of land and development and condominium andresidential units for sale include properties being constructed for sale in the ordinary course ofbusiness, rather than to be held for rental or capital appreciation.

Cost incurred for the development and improvement of the properties includes the following:

· Land cost;

· Amounts paid to contractors for construction and development; and

· Borrowing costs, planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees, propertytransfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current AssetsOther current assets consist of advances to suppliers and contractors, advances for projectdevelopment, input tax, creditable withholding taxes, deposits, cash in escrow, prepayments andothers. Advances to contractors are carried at cost. These represent advance payments to contractorsfor the construction and development of the projects. These are recouped upon every progress billingpayment depending on the percentage of accomplishment. Advances for project developmentrepresent advances made for the purchase of land and is stated initially at cost. Advances for projectdevelopment are subsequently measured at cost, net of any impairment. Prepaid taxes and otherprepayments are carried at cost less amortized portion. These include prepayments for taxes andlicenses, rent, advertising and promotions and insurance. Deposits represent advances made foracquisitions of property for future development and of shares of stocks.

Property Acquisitions and Business CombinationsWhen property is acquired, through corporate acquisitions or otherwise, management considers thesubstance of the assets and activities of the acquired entity in determining whether the acquisitionrepresents an acquisition of a business.

When such an acquisition is not judged to be an acquisition of a business, it is not treated as abusiness combination. Rather, the cost to acquire the corporate entity is allocated between theidentifiable assets and liabilities of the entity based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date.Accordingly, no goodwill or additional deferred tax arises. Otherwise, the acquisition is accountedfor as a business combination.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Applying the acquisitionmethod requires the (a) determination whether the Company will be identified as the acquirer,(b) determination of the acquisition date, (c) recognition and measurement of the identifiable assetsacquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and (d) recognition andmeasurement of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured atacquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For eachbusiness combination, the Company measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fairvalue or at the proportionate share of the acquiree�s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurredare expensed and included in the costs and expenses.

*SGVFS032857*

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for

appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economiccircumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation ofembedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the Company�spreviously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition datethrough profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Company is recognized at fair value at theacquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which isdeemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with PFRS 9 either in profit or loss oras change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it isnot remeasured until it is finally settled and final difference is recognized within equity.

Common Control Business CombinationsBusiness combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are businesscombinations in which all of the entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party orparties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. Businesscombinations under common control are accounted for similar to pooling of interests method. Underthe pooling of interests method:

· The assets, liabilities and equity of the acquired companies for the reporting period in which thecommon control business combinations occur and for the comparative periods presented, areincluded in the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amounts as if the consolidationhad occurred from the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements,regardless of the actual date of the acquisition;

· No adjustments are made to reflect the fair values, or recognize any new assets or liabilities at thedate of the combination. The only adjustments would be to harmonize accounting policiesbetween the combining entities;

· No �new� goodwill is recognized as a result of the business combination;

· The excess of the cost of business combinations over the net carrying amounts of the identifiableassets and liabilities of the acquired companies is considered as equity adjustment from businesscombinations, included under �Additional paid-in capital - net� account in the equity section ofthe consolidated balance sheet; and

· The consolidated statement of income in the year of acquisition reflects the results of thecombining entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place.

Acquisition of Non-controlling InterestsChanges in a parent�s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control areaccounted for as equity transactions (i.e., transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). Insuch circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests shall beadjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between theamount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the considerationpaid shall be recognized directly in equity and included under �Additional paid-in capital - net�account in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment, except land and construction in progress, is stated at cost less accumulateddepreciation and amortization and any accumulated impairment in value. Such cost includes the costof replacing part of the property and equipment at the time that cost is incurred, if the recognition

Page 233: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

- 27 -

*SGVFS032857*

criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing. Land is stated at cost less anyimpairment in value.

The initial cost of property and equipment consists of its purchase price, including import duties,taxes and any directly attributable costs necessary in bringing the asset to its working condition andlocation for its intended use. Cost also includes any related asset retirement obligation and interestincurred during the construction period on funds borrowed to finance the construction of the projects.When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of theproperty and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Expendituresincurred after the item has been put into operation, such as repairs, maintenance and overhaul costs,are normally recognized as expense in the period such costs are incurred. In situations where it canbe clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have improved the condition of the asset beyond theoriginally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as additional cost ofproperty and equipment.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimateduseful lives of the assets:

Land improvements 5 yearsBuildings 10�25 yearsLeasehold improvements 5�10 years or term of the lease,

whichever is shorterData processing equipment 5�8 yearsTransportation equipment 5�6 yearsFurniture, fixtures and equipment 5�10 years

The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation and amortization of the assets arereviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting period.

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changesin circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no furtherdepreciation and amortization is credited or charged to current operations.

An item of property and equipment is derecognized when either it has been disposed or when it ispermanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its use ordisposal. Any gains or losses arising on the retirement and disposal of an item of property andequipment are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period of retirement ordisposal.

Investment PropertyThis account consists of investment properties and noncurrent portion of land and developmentpresented in the consolidated balance sheets. These accounts consist of commercial spaces/propertiesheld for rental and/or capital appreciation and land held for future development. These accounts aremeasured initially at cost. The cost of a purchased investment property and land for futuredevelopment comprises of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs. Subsequently, theseaccounts, except land and construction in progress, are measured at cost, less accumulateddepreciation and amortization and accumulated impairment in value, if any. The carrying amountincludes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurredif the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investmentproperty. Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value.

*SGVFS032857*

Property under construction or development for future use as an investment property is classified asinvestment property.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimateduseful lives of the assets:

Land improvements 5 yearsBuildings and improvements 20�40 yearsBuilding equipment, furniture and others 3�15 yearsBuilding and leasehold improvements 5 years or term of lease

whichever is shorter

The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation and amortization of the assets arereviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting period.

Construction in progress represents structures under construction and is stated at cost. This includescost of construction, property and equipment, and other direct costs. Cost also includes interest onborrowed funds incurred during the construction period. Construction in progress is not depreciateduntil such time that the relevant assets are completed and are ready for use.

Investment property is derecognized when either it has been disposed or when it is permanentlywithdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains orlosses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the consolidatedstatement of income in the period of retirement or disposal.

Transfers are made from investment property to inventories when, and only when, there is a change inuse, as evidenced by an approved plan to construct and develop condominium and residential unitsfor sale. Transfers are made to investment property from inventories when, and only when, there ischange in use, as evidenced by commencement of an operating lease to a third party or change in theoriginally approved plan. The cost of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying value at thedate of change in use.

Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidencedby ending of owner-occupation or commencement of an operating lease to another party. Transfersare made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced bycommencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sell.

For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the cost of property forsubsequent accounting is its carrying value at the date of change in use. If the property occupied bythe Company as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Company accountsfor such property in accordance with the policy stated under property and equipment up to the date ofchange in use.

Investments in Associates and Joint VenturesAn associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence isthe power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is notcontrol or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of thearrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreedsharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activitiesrequire unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Page 235: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

*SGVFS032857*

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to thosenecessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

The Company�s investments in shares of stocks of associates and joint ventures are accounted forunder the equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method, investment in an associate or a joint venture is carried in the consolidatedbalance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Company�s share in the net asset of theassociate or joint venture. The consolidated statements of income reflect the share in the result ofoperations of the associate or joint venture under �Others-net� account. Where there has been achange recognized directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Company recognizes itsshare in any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of income.Profit and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate or joint ventureare eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture. After application of theequity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize any additionalimpairment loss with respect to the Company�s net investment in the associate or joint venture. Aninvestment in associate or joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date whenit becomes an associate or joint venture. On acquisition of the investment, any difference between thecost of the investment and the investor�s share in the net fair value of the associate�s identifiableassets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is accounted for as follow:

· Goodwill relating to an associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of theinvestment. However, amortization of that goodwill is not permitted and is therefore not includedin the determination of the Company�s share in the associate�s or joint venture�s profits or losses.

· Any excess of the Company�s share in the net fair value of the associate�s identifiable assets,liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carryingamount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the investor�sshare in the associate�s or joint venture�s profit or loss in the period in which the investment isacquired.

Also, appropriate adjustments to the Company�s share of the associate�s or joint venture�s profit orloss after acquisition are made to account for the depreciation of the depreciable assets based on theirfair values at the acquisition date and for impairment losses recognized by the associate or jointventure.

The Company discontinues the use of equity method from the date when it ceases to have significantinfluence or joint control over an associate or joint venture and accounts for the investment inaccordance with PFRS 9, from that date, provided the associate or joint venture does not become asubsidiary. Upon loss of significant influence or joint control over the associate or joint venture, theCompany measures and recognizes any remaining investment at its fair value. Any difference in thecarrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint controland the fair value of the remaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in theconsolidated statement of income. When the Company�s interest in an investment in associate orjoint venture is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided only to the extent that the Companyhas incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture to satisfyobligations of the investee that the Company has guaranteed or otherwise committed. If the associateor joint venture subsequently reports profits, the Company resumes recognizing its share of the profitsif it equals the share of net losses not recognized.

*SGVFS032857*

The financial statements of the associates and joint ventures are prepared for the same reportingperiod as the Company. The accounting policies of the associates and joint ventures conform to thoseused by the Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

Other Noncurrent AssetsOther noncurrent assets consist of bonds and deposits, receivables from sale of real estate - net ofcurrent portion, land use rights, time deposits, deferred input tax and others. Other noncurrent assetsare carried at cost. Land use rights are amortized over its useful life of 40 to 60 years.

Impairment of Nonfinancial AssetsThe carrying values of investments in associates and joint ventures, property and equipment,investment properties, noncurrent portion of land and development accounted fro as investmentproperty, and other noncurrent assets (excluding time deposits) are reviewed for impairment whenevents or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If anysuch indication exists, and if the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assetsor cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount ofthe asset is the greater of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. The fair value less costs to sell isthe amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm�s-length transaction betweenknowledgeable, willing parties, less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated futurecash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currentmarket assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset thatdoes not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for thecash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidatedstatement of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previouslyrecognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, therecoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if therehas been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset�s recoverable amount since the lastimpairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to itsrecoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have beendetermined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for theasset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. After sucha reversal, the depreciation or amortization charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset�srevised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

Tenants� DepositsTenants� deposits are measured at amortized cost. Tenants� deposits refer to security depositsreceived from various tenants upon inception of the respective lease contracts on the Company�sinvestment properties. At the termination of the lease contracts, the deposits received by theCompany are returned to tenants, reduced by unpaid rental fees, penalties and/or deductions fromrepairs of damaged leased properties, if any. The related lease contracts usually have a term of morethan twelve months.

Customers� DepositsCustomers� deposits mainly represent reservation fees and advance payments. These deposits will berecognized as revenue in the consolidated statement of income as the related obligations to the realestate buyers are fulfilled.

Capital Stock and Additional Paid-in CapitalCapital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directlyattributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as deduction from proceeds, net of tax.

Page 237: SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC. · BS P Bangk o Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Philippine Central Bank Business Day means a day, other than Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, on which facilities

- 31 -

*SGVFS032857*

Proceeds and/or fair value of considerations received in excess of par value, if any, are recognized as�Additional paid-in capital - net� account.

Retained EarningsRetained earnings represent accumulated net profits, net of dividend distributions and other capitaladjustments.

Treasury StockOwn equity instruments which are acquired (treasury shares) are deducted from equity and accountedfor at cost. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income on the purchase,sale, issuance or cancellation of own equity instruments.

DividendsDividends on common shares are recognized as liability and deducted from equity when declared andapproved by the BOD. Dividends for the year that are approved after balance sheet date are dealtwith as an event after the reporting period.

Revenue RecognitionRevenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services aretransferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expectsto be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company assesses its revenuearrangements against specific criteria to determine if it is acting as a principal or as an agent. TheCompany has concluded that it is acting as principal in majority of its revenue arrangements. Thefollowing specific recognition criteria, other than those disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidatedfinancial statements, must also be met before revenue is recognized:

The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenuefrom contracts with customers are provided in Note 2.

Rent. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or based on the terms of thelease as applicable.

Sale of Amusement Tickets and Merchandise. Revenue is recognized upon receipt of cash from thecustomer which coincides with the rendering of services or the delivery of merchandise. Revenuefrom sale of amusement tickets and merchandise are included in the �Revenue - Others� account inthe consolidated statement of income.

Dividend. Revenue is recognized when the Company�s right as a shareholder to receive the paymentis established. These are included in the �Interest and dividend income� account in the consolidatedstatement of income.

Management and Service Fees. Revenue is recognized when earned in accordance with the terms ofthe agreements.

Interest. Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues, taking into account the effective yield on theasset.

Room Rentals, Food and Beverage, and Others. Revenue from room rentals is recognized on actualoccupancy, food and beverage sales when orders are served, and other operated departments when theservices are rendered. Revenue from other operated departments include, among others, businesscenter, laundry service, and telephone service. Revenue from food and beverage sales and other hotelrevenue are included under the �Revenue - Others� account in the consolidated statement of income.

*SGVFS032857*

Revenue and Cost from Sale of Real Estate effective beginning January 1, 2018. The Companyderives its real estate revenue from sale of lots, house and lot and condominium units. Revenue fromthe sale of these real estate projects under pre-completion stage are recognized over time during theconstruction period (or percentage of completion) since based on the terms and conditions of itscontract with the buyers, the Company�s performance does not create an asset with an alternative useand the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

In measuring the progress of its performance obligation over time, the Company uses output method.The Company recognizes revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to customers ofthe goods or services transferred to date, relative to the remaining goods or services promised underthe contract. Progress is measured using survey of performance completed to date/ milestonesreached/ time elapsed. This is based on the monthly project accomplishment report prepared by thethird party project managers as approved by the construction managers which integrates the surveysof performance to date of the construction activities.

Estimated development costs of the real estate project include costs of land, land development,building costs, professional fees, depreciation of equipment directly used in the construction,payments for permits and licenses. Revisions in estimated development costs brought about byincreases in projected costs in excess of the original budgeted amounts, form part of total projectcosts on a prospective basis.

Any excess of progress of work over the right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional,recognized as receivables from sale of real estate, under trade receivables, is accounted for as unbilledrevenue from sale of real estate.

Any excess of collections over the total of recognized installment real estate receivables is included inthe contract liabilities (or referred also in the consolidated financial statements as �Unearned revenuefrom sale of real estate�).

Information about the Company�s performance obligation. The Company entered into contracts tosell with one identified performance obligation which is the sale of the real estate unit together withthe services to transfer the title to the buyer upon full payment of contract price. The amount ofconsideration indicated in the contract to sell is fixed and has no variable consideration.

Payment commences upon signing of the contract to sell and the consideration is payable in cash orunder a financing scheme entered with the customer. The financing scheme would include paymentof certain percentage of the contract price spread over a certain period (e.g. one to three years) at afixed monthly payment with the remaining balance payable in full at the end of the period eitherthrough cash or external financing. The amount due for collection under the amortization schedulefor each of the customer does not necessarily coincide with the progress of construction.

The Company has a quality assurance warranty which is not treated as a separate performanceobligation.

Cost of real estate sold. The Company recognizes costs relating to satisfied performance obligationsas these are incurred taking into consideration the contract fulfillment assets such as land andconnection fees. These include costs of land, land development costs, building costs, professionalfees, depreciation, permits and licenses and capitalized borrowing costs. These costs are allocated tothe saleable area, with the portion allocable to the sold area being recognized as costs of real estatesold while the portion allocable to the unsold area being recognized as part of real estate inventories(condominium and residential units for sale and current portion of land and development). In

*SGVFS032857*

addition, the Company recognizes as an asset only costs that give rise to resources that will be used insatisfying performance obligations in the future and that are expected to be recovered.

Contract Balances

Receivables. A receivable represents the Company�s right to an amount of consideration that isunconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

Contract assets. These pertain to unbilled revenue from sale of real estate. This is the right toconsideration that is conditional in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. Thisis reclassified as trade receivable from sale of real estate when the monthly amortization of thecustomer is already due for collection.

Contract liabilities. These pertain to unearned revenue from sale of real estate. This is the obligationto transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or anamount of consideration is due) from the customer. These also include customers� deposits related tosale of real estate. These are recognized as revenue when the Company performs its obligation underthe contract.

Costs to obtain contract. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer arerecognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover them. The Company has determined thatcommissions paid to brokers and marketing agents on the sale of pre-completed real estate units aredeferred when recovery is reasonably expected and are charged to expense in the period in which therelated revenue is recognized as earned. Commission expense is included in the �Costs andexpenses� account in the consolidated statement of income. Costs incurred prior to obtaining contractwith customer are not capitalized but are expensed as incurred.

Contract fulfillment assets. Contract fulfillment costs are divided into: (i) costs that give rise to anasset; and (ii) costs that are expensed as incurred. When determining the appropriate accountingtreatment for such costs, the Company firstly considers any other applicable standards. If thosestandards preclude capitalization of a particular cost, then an asset is not recognized under PFRS 15.

If other standards are not applicable to contract fulfillment costs, the Company applies the followingcriteria which, if met, result in capitalization: (i) the costs directly relate to a contract or to aspecifically identifiable anticipated contract; (ii) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entitythat will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and(iii) the costs are expected to be recovered. The assessment of this criteria requires the application ofjudgement, in particular when considering if costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfyfuture performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recoverable.

The Company�s contract fulfillment assets mainly pertain to land acquisition costs (included undercurrent portion of land and development).

Amortization, de-recognition and impairment of contract fulfillment assets and capitalized costs to

obtain a contract. The Company amortizes contract fulfillment assets and capitalized costs to obtaina contract to cost of sales over the expected construction period using POC following the pattern ofreal estate revenue recognition. The amortization is included within cost of real estate sold.

A contract fulfillment asset or capitalized costs to obtain a contract is derecognized either when it isdisposed of or when no further economic benefits are expected to flow from its use or disposal.

*SGVFS032857*

At each reporting date, the Company determines whether there is an indication that contractfulfillment asset or cost to obtain a contract maybe impaired. If such indication exists, the Companymakes an estimate by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the remaining amount ofconsideration that the Company expects to receive less the costs that relate to providing servicesunder the relevant contract. In determining the estimated amount of consideration, the Company usesthe same principles as it does to determine the contract transaction price, except that any constraintsused to reduce the transaction price will be removed for the impairment test.

Where the relevant costs are demonstrating indicators of impairment, judgement is required inascertaining whether or not the future economic benefits from these contracts are sufficient to recoverthese assets.

Revenue and Cost Recognition from Sale of Real Estate effective before January 1, 2018. TheCompany assesses whether it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company whenthe sales prices are collectible. Collectability of the contract price is demonstrated by the buyer�scommitment to pay, which is supported by the buyer�s initial and continuous investments thatmotivates the buyer to honor its obligation. Collectability is also assessed by considering factors suchas collections, credit standing of the buyer and location of the property.

Revenue from sales of completed real estate projects is accounted for using the full accrual method.In accordance with Philippine Interpretations Committee Q&A No. 2006-01, the percentage-of-completion method is used to recognize income from sales of projects where the Company hasmaterial obligations under the sales contract to complete the project after the property is sold, theequitable interest has been transferred to the buyer, construction is beyond preliminary stage (i.e.,engineering, design work, construction contracts execution, site clearance and preparation, excavationand the building foundation are finished), and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measuredreliably. Under this method, revenue is recognized as the related obligations are fulfilled, measuredprincipally on the basis of the estimated completion of a physical proportion of the contract work.

Any excess of collections over the recognized receivables are included in the �Tenants� andcustomers� deposits� account in the consolidated balance sheet. If any of the criteria under the fullaccrual or percentage-of-completion method is not met, the deposit method is applied until all theconditions for recording a sale are met. Pending recognition of sale, cash received from buyers arepresented under the �Tenants� and customers� deposits� account in the consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue from construction contracts included in the �Revenue from sale of real estate� account in theconsolidated statement of income is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method,measured principally on the basis of the estimated physical completion of the contract work.

Cost of real estate sold. Cost of real estate sold is recognized consistent with the revenue recognitionmethod applied.

General, Administrative and Other ExpensesCosts and expenses are recognized as incurred.

Pension BenefitsThe Company is a participant in the SM Corporate and Management Companies EmployerRetirement Plan. The plan is a funded, noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan administeredby a Board of Trustees covering all regular full-time employees. The cost of providing benefits underthe defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. This method reflectsservice rendered by employees to the date of valuation and incorporates assumptions concerning theemployees� projected salaries. The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the presentvalue of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value ofplan assets, if any, adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling.The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds fromthe plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Defined benefit pension costs comprise the following:

· Service cost

· Net interest on the net defined benefit obligation or asset

· Remeasurements of net defined benefit obligation or asset

Service cost which includes current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-routine settlements are recognized as part of �Costs and expenses� under �Administrative� account inthe consolidated statement of income. Past service costs are recognized when plan amendment orcurtailment occurs.

Net interest on the net defined benefit obligation or asset is the change during the period in the netdefined benefit obligation or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined byapplying the discount rate based on government bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Netinterest on the net defined benefit obligation or asset is recognized as part of �Costs and expenses�under �Administrative� account in the consolidated statement of income.

Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in theeffect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit obligation) are recognizedimmediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements arenot reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund. Fair value of plan assets isbased on market price information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets isestimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the riskassociated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if theyhave no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the related obligations).

The Company�s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a definedbenefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement isvirtually certain.

Foreign Currency-denominated TransactionsThe consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is SMPH�s functionaland presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functionalcurrency rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies are restated at the functional currency rate of exchange at reporting period. Nonmonetary

*SGVFS032857*

items denominated in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of initialrecognition. All differences are taken to the consolidated statements of income.

Foreign Currency TranslationThe assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Philippine peso at the rate ofexchange ruling at reporting period and their respective statements of income are translated at theweighted average rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are includedin the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and are presented within the �Cumulativetranslation adjustment� account in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. On disposal of aforeign entity, the deferred cumulative amount of exchange differences recognized in equity relatingto that particular foreign operation is recognized in the profit or loss.

LeasesThe determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of thearrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependenton the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Company as Lessee. Finance leases, which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks andbenefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at thefair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments.Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so asto achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges arereflected in the consolidated statement of income.

Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset andthe lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the endof the lease term.

Leases which do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership ofthe asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in theconsolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, suchas maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

Company as Lessor. Leases where the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks andbenefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operatingleases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costsincurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset andrecognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized asrevenue in the period in which they are earned.

ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting theexpected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time valueof money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, theincrease in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Where theCompany expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate assetbut only when the receipt of the reimbursement is virtually certain.

*SGVFS032857*

Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of aqualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences whenthe activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are beingincurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the assets are substantially ready for their intendeduse. Borrowing costs are capitalized when it is probable that they will result in future economicbenefits to the Company. For borrowing associated with a specific asset, the actual rate on thatborrowing is used. Otherwise, a weighted average cost of borrowings is used.

Borrowing costs include exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extentthat they are regarded as an adjustment to interest cost. The Company limits exchange losses taken asamount of borrowing costs to the extent that the total borrowing costs capitalized do not exceed theamount of borrowing costs that would be incurred on functional currency equivalent borrowings. Theamount of foreign exchange differences eligible for capitalization is determined for each periodseparately. Foreign exchange losses that did not meet the criteria for capitalization in previous yearsare not capitalized in subsequent years. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

Taxes

Current Tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at theamount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax lawsused to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at reporting period.

Deferred Tax. Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporarydifferences at reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carryingamounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxabletemporary differences, except:

· where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset orliability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

· with respect to taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporarydifferences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse inthe foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefitsof excess MCIT and NOLCO, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences and the carryforward benefits of excess MCITand NOLCO can be utilized, except:

· where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initialrecognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at thetime of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

· with respect to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent thatit is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxableprofit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting period and reduced to theextent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part ofthe deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each

*SGVFS032857*

reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profitwill allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the periodthe asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at reporting period.

Income tax relating to items recognized directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensiveincome is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and not in theconsolidated statement of income.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to offsetcurrent tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entityand the same taxation authority.

Value Added Tax (VAT). Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognized net of the amount of VAT, ifapplicable.

When VAT from sales of goods and/or services (output VAT) exceeds VAT passed on frompurchases of goods or services (input VAT), the excess is recognized as part of �Accounts payableand other current liabilities� account in the consolidated balance sheets. When VAT passed on frompurchases of goods or services (input VAT) exceeds VAT from sales of goods and/or services (outputVAT), the excess is recognized as part of �Prepaid expenses and other current assets� account in theconsolidated balance sheets to the extent of the recoverable amount.

Business SegmentsThe Company is organized and managed separately according to the nature of business. The fouroperating business segments are mall, residential, commercial and hotels and convention centers.These operating businesses are the basis upon which the Company reports its segment informationpresented in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Basic/Diluted Earnings Per Common Share (EPS)Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income for the period attributable to owners of the Parentby the weighted-average number of issued and outstanding common shares during the period, withretroactive adjustment for any stock dividends declared.

For the purpose of computing diluted EPS, the net income for the period attributable to owners of theParent and the weighted-average number of issued and outstanding common shares are adjusted forthe effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, if any.

ContingenciesContingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosedin the notes to consolidated financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidatedfinancial statements but are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements when an inflowof economic benefits is probable.

Events after the Reporting PeriodPost year-end events that provide additional information about the Company�s financial position atthe end of the reporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financialstatements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to theconsolidated financial statements when material.

Fixed rate debts, although subject to fair value interest rate risk, are not included in the sensitivityanalysis as these are carried at amortized costs. The assumed movement in basis points for interestrate sensitivity analysis is based on currently observable market environment, showing a significantlyhigher volatility as in prior years.

Foreign Currency RiskForeign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company�s policy is to manage its foreign currency risk mainly from its debt issuances which aredenominated in U.S. dollars and subsequently remitted to China to fund its capital expenditurerequirements by entering into foreign currency swap contracts, cross-currency swaps, foreigncurrency call options, non-deliverable forwards and foreign currency range options aimed at reducingand/or managing the adverse impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on financial performanceand cash flow.

The Company�s foreign currency-denominated monetary assets amounted to US$43 million(P=2,252 million) as at December 31, 2018 and US$97 million (P=4,864 million) as at December 31,2017. The Company�s foreign currency-denominated monetary liabilities amounted tonil as at December 31, 2018 and US$300 million (¥1,954 million) as at December 31, 2017.

In translating the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities to peso amounts, theexchange rates used were ¥6.88 to US$1.00 and ¥6.51 to US$1.00, the China Yuan Renminbi to U.S.dollar exchange rate as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively and P=52.58 to US$1.00 andP=49.93 to US$1.00, the Philippine peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate as at December 31, 2018 and2017, respectively.

Liquidity RiskLiquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company may encounter difficulties in raising fundsto meet commitments from financial instruments or that a market for derivatives may not exist insome circumstance.

The Company seeks to manage its liquidity profile to be able to finance capital expenditures andservice maturing debts. To cover its financing requirements, the Company intends to use internallygenerated funds and proceeds from debt and equity issues.

As part of its liquidity risk management program, the Company regularly evaluates its projected andactual cash flow information and continuously assesses conditions in the financial markets foropportunities to pursue fund-raising initiatives. These initiatives may include bank loans and debtcapital and equity market issues.

The Company�s financial assets, which have maturities of less than 12 months and used to meet itsshort-term liquidity needs, include cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at FVTPL and equityinstruments at FVOCI amounting to P=38,766 million, nil and P=639 million, respectively, as atDecember 31, 2018 and P=44,372 million, P=731 million and P=641 million, respectively, as atDecember 31, 2017 (see Notes 6, 7 and 11). The Company also has readily available credit facilitywith banks and affiliates to meet its long-term financial liabilities.

Credit RiskCredit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument orcustomer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from itsoperating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including depositswith banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments(see Notes 6, 8, 11 and 12).

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class offinancial assets. The fair values of these financial assets are disclosed in Note 29. For receivablesfrom real estate sale, the title of the real estate property is only transferred to the customer if theconsideration had been fully paid. In case of default, after enforcement activities, the Company hasthe right to cancel the sale and enter into another contract to sell to another customer after certainproceedings (e.g. grace period, referral to legal, cancellation process, reimbursement of previouspayments) had been completed. Given this, based on the experience of the Company, the maximumexposure to credit risk at the reporting date is nil considering that fair value less cost to repossess ofthe real estate projects is higher than the exposure at default. The Company evaluates theconcentration of risk with respect to trade receivables and unbilled revenue from sale of real estate aslow, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largelyindependent markets.

The changes in the gross carrying amount of receivables and unbilled revenue from sale of real estateduring the year did not materially affect the allowance for ECLs.

As at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the financial assets, except for certain receivables, are generallyviewed by management as good and collectible considering the credit history of the counterparties(see Note 8). Past due or impaired financial assets are very minimal in relation to the Company�sconsolidated total financial assets.

Credit Quality of Financial Assets. The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Companyusing high quality and standard quality as internal credit ratings.

High Quality. Pertains to counterparty who is not expected by the Company to default in settling itsobligations, thus credit risk exposure is minimal. This normally includes large prime financialinstitutions, companies and government agencies.

Standard Quality. Other financial assets not belonging to high quality financial assets are included inthis category.

Equity Price RiskEquity price risk arises from the changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individualstocks traded in the stock exchange.

As a policy, management monitors its equity price risk pertaining to its investments in quoted equitysecurities which are classified as equity instruments designated at FVOCI in the consolidated balancesheets based on market expectations. Material equity investments within the portfolio are managedon an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by management.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financialinstrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Financial Assets at FVTPL. The fair values are based on the quoted market prices of the instruments.

Derivative Instruments. The fair values are based on quotes obtained from counterparties.

Noncurrent Portion of Receivable from Sale of Real Estate. The estimated fair value of thenoncurrent portion of receivables from real estate buyers is based on the discounted value of futurecash flows using the prevailing interest rates on sales of the Company�s accounts receivable. Averagediscount rates used is 4.72% as at December 31, 2017.

Equity Instruments at FVOCI. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organizedfinancial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business.

Long-term Debt. Fair value is based on the following:

Debt Type Fair Value Assumptions

Fixed Rate Loans Estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of futurecash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans.Discount rates used range from 3.82% to 8.45% and from 3.14%to 6.86% as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Variable Rate Loans For variable rate loans that re-price every three months, thecarrying value approximates the fair value because of recent andregular repricing based on current market rates. For variable rateloans that re-price every six months, the fair value is determinedby discounting the principal amount plus the next interestpayment amount using the prevailing market rate for the periodup to the next repricing date. Discount rates used was 6.98% to9.01% and 3.38% to 6.37% as at December 31, 2018 and 2017,respectively.

Tenants� Deposits, Liability for Purchased Land and Other Noncurrent Liabilities. The estimatedfair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates. Thediscount rates used range from 7.80% to 7.85% and 4.47% to 4.97% as at December 31, 2018 and2017, respectively.

The Company assessed that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, cash inescrow, bank loans and accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair valuesdue to the short-term nature and maturities of these financial instruments.

There were no financial instruments subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement that werenot set-off in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value HierarchyThe Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financialinstruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, except for related embeddedderivatives which are either classified as Level 2 or 3;

- 77 -

*SGVFS032857*

Level 2: Those measured using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observablefor the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and,

Level 3: Those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data(unobservable inputs).

*Notional amounts of hedge instruments are US dollar-denominated.

Assessment of Hedge EffectivenessThere is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the termsof the cross-currency swaps, principal only swaps and interest rate swaps match the terms of thehedged items (i.e., notional amount and expected payment date). The Company has established ahedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the cross-currency swaps,principal only swaps and interest rate swaps are identical to the hedged risk components. To test thehedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changesin the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged itemsattributable to the hedged risks.

The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged itemsand the hedging instruments and the counterparties� credit risk differently impacting the fair valuemovements of the hedging instruments.

Hedge Effectiveness ResultsHedge effectiveness is assessed at inception of the hedge, at each quarterly or semi-annual reportingdate and upon a significant change in the circumstances affecting the hedge effectivenessrequirements. As the terms of the swaps have been negotiated to match the terms of the hedged loan,the hedges were assessed to be highly effective. The fair value of the outstanding cross-currencyswaps, principal only swaps and interest rate swaps amounting to P=124 million gain andP=2,769 million gain as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was taken to equity under othercomprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, no ineffectiveness wasrecognized in the consolidated statement of income. Foreign currency translation gain arising fromthe hedged loan amounting to P=2,247 million in 2018 and P=1,082 million in 2017 was recognizedunder other comprehensive income. Foreign currency translation loss arising from the hedged loanamounting to P=2,119 million in 2016 was recognized under other comprehensive income. Foreignexchange gain equivalent to the same amounts were recycled from equity to the consolidatedstatement of income during the same year.
