3 – Financial Statements
1. Statement of Financial Position
San Miguel Corporation's 2023 Statement of Financial Position shows an overall asset of ₱1.18 trillion, a small rise over 2022. The company's liquidity fell significantly, with cash and cash equivalents falling from ₱137 billion in 2022 to ₱56 billion in 2023. This drop indicates either significant capital expenditures or cash withdrawals. Current liabilities increased due to higher short-term borrowing (₱21 billion) and long-term debt, reflecting reliance on external finance. This increase in liabilities may indicate a need to manage debt more cautiously, potentially affecting future liquidity and financial flexibility. 2. Statement of Income In 2023, San Miguel Corporation experienced a significant financial loss of ₱16.9 billion, up from ₱5.2 billion in 2022. The sharp loss was mostly caused by a rise in finance expenses, which nearly doubled from ₱19.6 billion in 2022 to ₱37.8 billion in 2023 due to rising interest rates and borrowings. The corporation also lost ₱2 billion in foreign exchange. These concerns were exacerbated by increased operational expenses and derivative losses. Despite earning cash from dividends, interest, and other sources, these gains were inadequate to cover the increased expenditures. 3. Statement of Changes in Equity Despite a net loss for the year, San Miguel Corporation's equity increased to ₱561 billion in 2023 from ₱543 billion in 2022. The re-issuance of treasury shares, totaling ₱46.7 billion, contributed significantly to the growth in equity. Another issue was the redemption of some of its capital instruments and preferred shares, which helped to balance its total equity position. These capital flows were sufficient to offset the company's losses, proving its capacity to attract fresh investors and manage its capital base successfully. 4. Statement of Cash Flows San Miguel's cash flows from operational activities were positive at ₱5.3 billion, down from ₱22.6 billion in 2022, confirming the business's capacity to produce cash from core operations despite a net loss. Meanwhile, there was a considerable cash outflow of ₱127 billion from investing operations. This was largely due to significant investments in shares and advances, as well as property and equipment, as the corporation attempted to reinvest in its operations. In 2023, the company raised ₱41 billion through short-term borrowings to fund capital expenditures and debt service.
