A. Business Development and Corporate History
In 1928, Congress passed Act No. 3495 granting the Robert Dollar Company, a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, a franchise to operate wireless
long distance message services in the Philippines. Subsequently, Congress passed Act No.
4150 in 1934 to transfer the franchise and privileges of the Robert Dollar Company to Globe
Wireless Limited which was incorporated in the Philippines on 15 January 1935.
Globe Wireless Limited was later renamed as Globe-Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation
(“Globe-Mackay”). Through Republic Act (“RA”) 4630 enacted in 1965 by Congress, its franchise
was further expanded to allow it to operate international communications systems. GlobeMackay was granted a new franchise in 1980 by Batasan Pambansa under Batas Pambansa 95.
In 1974, Globe-Mackay sold 60% of its stock to Ayala Corporation, local investors and its
employees. It offered its shares to the public on 11 August 1975.
In 1992, Globe-Mackay merged with Clavecilla Radio Corporation, a domestic
telecommunications pioneer, to form GMCR, Inc. (“GMCR”). The merger gave GMCR the
capability to provide all forms of telecommunications to address the international and domestic
requirements of its customers. GMCR was subsequently renamed Globe Telecom, Inc. (“Globe”).
In 1993, Globe welcomed a new foreign partner, Singapore Telecom, Inc. (STI), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications Limited (“SingTel”), after Ayala and STI signed a
Memorandum of Understanding.
In 2001, Globe acquired Isla Communications Company, Inc. (“Islacom”) which became its
wholly-owned subsidiary effective 27 June 2001. In 2003, the National Telecommunications
Commission (“NTC”) granted Globe’s application to transfer its fixed line business assets and
subscribers to Islacom, pursuant to its strategy to integrate all of its fixed line services under
Islacom. Subsequently, Islacom was renamed as Innove Communications, Inc. (“Innove”).
In 2004, Globe invested in G-Xchange, Inc. (“GXI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to handle the
mobile payment and remittance service marketed under the GCash brand using Globe’s network
as transport channel. GXI started commercial operations on 16 October 2004.
In November 2004, Globe and seven other leading Asia Pacific mobile operators (‘JV partners’)
signed an agreement (‘JV agreement’) to form Bridge Alliance. The joint venture company
operates through a Singapore-incorporated company, Bridge Mobile Pte. Limited (BMPL) which
serves as a commercial vehicle for the JV partners to build and establish a regional mobile
infrastructure and common service platform to deliver different regional mobile services to their
subscribers. The Bridge Alliance currently has a combined customer base of over 250 million
subscribers among its partners in India, Thailand, Hong Kong, South Korea, Macau, Philippines,
Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Taiwan and Indonesia.
In 2005, Innove was awarded by the NTC with a nationwide franchise for its fixed line business,
allowing it to operate a Local Exchange Carrier service nationwide and expand its network
coverage. In December 2005, the NTC approved Globe’s application for third generation (3G)
radio frequency spectra to support the upgrade of its cellular mobile telephone system (“CMTS”)
network to be able to provide 3G services. The Company was assigned with 10-Megahertz (MHz)
of the 3G radio frequency spectrum.

On 19 May 2008, following the approval of the NTC, the subscriber contracts of Touch Mobile or
TM prepaid service were transferred from Innove to Globe which now operates all wireless
prepaid services using its integrated cellular networks.
In August 2008, and to further grow its mobile data segment, Globe acquired 100% ownership of
Entertainment Gateway Group (“EGG”), a leading mobile content provider in the Philippines.
EGG offers a wide array of value-added services covering music, news and information, games,
chat and web-to-mobile messaging.
On 25 November 2008, Globe formed GTI Business Holdings, Inc. (GTIBH) primarily to act as an
investment company.
On October 30, 2008, Globe, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Ayala Corporation (AC)
signed a memorandum of agreement to form a joint venture that would allow rural and lowincome customers’ access to financial products and services. Last October 2009, the Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) approved the sale and transfer by BPI of its shares of stock in Pilipinas
Savings Bank, Inc. (PSBI), formalizing the creation of the venture. Globe’s and BPI’s ownership
stakes in PSBI is at 40% each, while AC’s shareholding is at 20%. The partners plan to transform
PSBI (now called BPI Globe BanKO, Inc.) into the country’s first mobile microfinance bank. The
bank’s initial focus will be on wholesale lending to other microfinance institutions but will
eventually expand to include retail lending, deposit-taking, and micro-insurance. In the first
quarter of 2010, BPI Globe Banko opened its first branch in Metro Manila and inaugurated 5 more
branches across the country in the first quarter of 2011.
There was no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings initiated during the past three
years.

Globe provides digital mobile communication services nationwide using a fully digital network
based on the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technology. It provides voice, data
and value-added services to its mobile subscribers through three major brands: Globe Postpaid,
Globe Prepaid and TM.

which entail additional monthly fees on top of their regular monthly postpaid subscription fees.
Globe Prepaid and TM are the prepaid brands of Globe. Globe Prepaid is targeted towards the
adult, mainstream market. Its unique brand proposition revolves around its innovative product and

In addition to digital wireless communications, Globe also offers mobile payments and remittance
service under the GCash brand. GCash is an internationally acclaimed micro payment service

a means of payment for products and services.

AutoLoad Max and Share-A-Load services are also available in selected OFW hubs all over the
world.
During the year, the Company launched a loyalty and rewards program called My Rewards, My
Globe for Globe Prepaid subscribers and TM Astig Rewards for TM subscribers. Under the
program, and based on a defined scoring system, prepaid subscribers earn points based on
tenure and reload. Subscribers can use their points to redeem rewards including Globe and TM
products, travel mileage, and gift certificates from leading retail establishments. Globe Postpaid
subscribers outside the lock-up period can also earn points based on their monthly billed amounts
and length of stay with Globe. Rewards also include Globe products, as well as bill rebates,
gadgets, gift certificates, and travel mileage. Subscribers have the option to redeem rewards
instantly, or accumulate points to avail of higher-value rewards.
Redeemed points in the form of telecom services is netted out against revenues whereas points
redeemed in a form of non-telco services such as gift certificates and other products are reflected
as marketing expense. At the end of each period, Globe estimates and records the amount of
probable future liability for unredeemed points.

E. Competition
1. Industry, Competitors and Methods of Competition
(a) Mobile Market
The Philippine wireless market is a maturing market with a total industry SIM base of 84.6
million and wireless industry penetration rate of over 90% as of December 31, 2010.
Approximately 98% of industry subscribers are prepaid.
The Philippine government liberalized the communications industry in 1993 after a framework
was developed to promote competition within the industry and accelerate market
development. Ten operators were granted licenses to provide CMTS services and deploy the
network technology of their choice – Globe, Innove (previously Islacom), Bayantel, CURE,
Digitel, Extelcom, MultiMedia Telephony, Next Mobile (NEXTEL), Piltel and SMART. Eight
operators continued on to operate commercially except for Bayantel and MultiMedia which
have yet to roll out their CMTS services commercially.
Since 2000, the mobile communications industry experienced a number of consolidations
while new players continued to enter the market. PLDT acquired and consolidated SMART
and Piltel in 2000 while Globe Telecom acquired Islacom. In 2003, Digitel formally launched
its mobile service under the brand name, Sun Cellular. In 2008, SMART purchased CURE
and subsequently launched another wireless brand, Red Mobile. During the same year, San
Miguel Corporation partnered with Qatar Telecom, bought interests in Liberty Telecom
Holdings, Inc., and announced plans to enter the mobile and broadband businesses. .
The mobile market continues to grow as shown in the table below.

Company estimates
In 2010, the mobile industry grew by 17% in SIM terms as nominal penetration rates reached
over 90%, ending with a cumulative industry base of 87.8 million. Globe ended the year with a
SIM base of 26.5 million, with an estimated SIM share of 30% compared to the prior year’s
share of 31%.
With the high penetration level and increasing incidences of multi-SIM usage and shifting of
consumer preferences to unlimited and bulk offers, competition in the mobile market continues
to intensify. Sun Cellular entered the market in 2003 with an unlimited call and text service that
has allowed it to increase its subscriber base. In response to Sun’s unlimited call and text
offers, both Globe and Smart responded by creating a new set of value propositions for their
SEC Form 17A 2010
14
subscribers in the form of bucket SMS and unlimited call and text offerings. In 2008, PLDT
purchased Connectivity Unlimited Resources Enterprises or CURE, one of the four recipients
of 3G licenses awarded by the NTC in 2005. PLDT subsequently launched its own 3G mobile
service under the brand, Red Mobile, further heightening competition in the market. San
Miguel Corporation has also stated their interest in entering the mobile market.
In March 2011, PLDT agreed to a share swap with JG Summit for a controlling stake in Digitel,
Sun Cellular’s Parent Company. With the deal, PLDT will hold a 51.6% stake in Digitel in
exchange of 29.7 million new PLDT shares, representing 13.7% of enlarged total outstanding
shares.
(b) Fixed Line Voice Market
There are at least eight major local exchange carriers (LEC) in the Philippines with licenses to
provide local and domestic long distance services. Each LEC operator (other than PLDT and
Globe, both of whom are authorized to provide nationwide fixed line services) is assigned
service areas in which it must install the required number of fixed lines and provide service.
The NTC has created 15 such service areas in the Philippines. In order to promote network
construction, it has been the government policy to allow only one or two major operators (in
addition to PLDT) in each service area. Rates for local exchange and domestic long distance
services have been deregulated and operators are allowed to have metered as well as flat
monthly fee tariff plans for the services provided.
Over the past three years, several industry players, including Globe, Bayantel, and PLDT,
have introduced fixed wireless voice services that provided some mobile phone capabilities
but had the tariff structure of a fixed line voice service. Subscribers to this fixed wireless
voice service were able to enjoy limited mobility.
Industry size has been relatively flat, with the number of lines in service estimated at over 3.3
million lines as of December 31, 2010 with PLDT’s subscriber market share at 56%, followed
by Globe (19%), Bayantel (13%) and Digitel (12%).
Competition in the fixed line voice market intensified over the past 4 years as the major
players, Globe, Bayantel, Digitel and PLDT introduced fixed wireless voice services with
limited mobile phone capabilities to take advantage of the increasing preference for mobile
services. Fixed wireless services were initially offered in postpaid versions in selected areas
where there were no available fixed line facilities but prepaid kits were eventually made
available as coverage was expanded.
(c) Fixed Line Data Market
The fixed line data business is a growing segment of the fixed line industry. As the Philippine
economy grows, businesses are increasingly utilizing new networking technologies and the
internet for critical business needs such as sales and marketing, intercompany
communications, database management and data storage. The expansion of the local IT
Enabled Service (ITES) industry which includes call centers and Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) companies has also helped drive the growth of the corporate data
business.
Dedicated business units have been created and organized within the Company to focus on
the mobile and fixed line needs of specific market segments and customers – be they
residential subscribers, wholesalers and other large corporate clients or smaller scale
industries. This structure has also been driven by Globe’s corporate clients’ preferences for
integrated mobile and fixed line communications solutions.
(d) Broadband Market
Broadband continues to be a major growth area for the local telecom industry. Industry
subscribers grew by about 40% to 3.6 million in 2010 from 2.6 million the previous year. The
aggressive network roll-out of the various operators, the wider availability of affordable
prepaid broadband packages, as well as lower PC and USB internet stick prices were the
SEC Form 17A 2010
15
main drivers of subscriber growth. Operators used both wired and wireless technologies
(including 3G and WiMax) to serve the growing demand for internet connectivity.
While household penetration rates remained low, competition in this space was intense.
Operators accelerated the rollout of their broadband network, and introduced more affordable
and bundled offerings.
As of end 2010, Globe had 1.1 million subscribers, up by 50% from the prior year. The
Company’s subscriber share was estimated at 31% from 28% the year before. PLDT had 2.0
million subscribers with a subscriber share of 56%, from 64% the year before. Globe and
PLDT accounted for almost 86% of cumulative subscribers of 3.6 million with much of the
growth in subscribers coming from the prepaid segment.
In February 2010, Liberty Telecoms Holdings, Inc, a partnership between San Miguel
Corporation and Qtel Group of Qatar Telecom, launched its WiMAX broadband service under
the brand name Wi-Tribe. It ended the year with an estimated 11,000 subscribers.
(e) International Long Distance Market
Total outbound international long distance (ILD) traffic in the Philippines has grown with the
increasing affordability of the service and the continued deployment of Filipinos workers
overseas. Meanwhile, inbound international traffic is lower with the wider range of
communication modes now available including via email, instant messaging, social network
sites, and voice over IP. International long distance providers in the Philippines generate
revenues from both inbound and outbound international call traffic whereby the pricing of calls
is based on agreed international settlement rates. Similarly, settlement rates for international
long distance traffic are based on bilateral negotiations. Commercial negotiations for these
settlement rates are settled using a termination rate system where the termination rate is
determined by the terminating carrier (e.g. Philippines) in negotiation with the originating
foreign correspondent.
To date, there are eleven licensed international long distance operators, nine of which directly
compete with Globe for customers. Both Globe and Innove offer ILD services which cover
international calls between the Philippines and over 200 countries. To drive growth in this
segment, the Company offers discounted call rates to popular calling destinations, sustains its
usage campaigns and marketing efforts for OFW SIM packs, and ensures the availability of
popular prepaid load denominations.
2. Principal Competitive Strengths of the Company
(a) Market Leadership Position
Globe is a major provider of telecommunications services in the Philippines. It is a strong
player in the market and operates one of the largest and most technologically-advanced
mobile, fixed line and broadband networks in the country, providing reliable, superior
communications services to individual customers, small and medium-sized businesses, and
corporate and enterprise clients. Globe’s distinct competitive strengths include its
technologically advanced mobile, fixed line and broadband network, a substantial subscriber
base, high quality customer service, a well-established brand identity and a solid track record
in the industry.
(b) Strong Brand Identity
The Company has some of the best-recognized brands in the Philippines. This strong brand
recognition is a critical advantage in securing and growing market share, and significantly
enhances Globe’s ability to cross-sell and push other product and service offerings in the
market.
(c) Financial Strength and Prudent Leverage Policies
Globe’s financial position remains strong with ample liquidity, and debt at conservative levels.
At the end of 2010, Globe had total interest bearing debt of P50.4 billion representing 52% of
SEC Form 17A 2010
16
total book capitalization. Consolidated gross debt to equity ratio stood at 1.07:1 and is well
within the 2:1 debt to equity limit prescribed by its debt covenants. Additionally, 86% of its debt
is in pesos while the balance of 14% is denominated in US dollars. Expected US dollar inflows
from the business offset any unhedged US dollar liabilities, helping insulate Globe’s balance
sheet from any volatilities in the foreign exchange markets.
Globe intends to maintain its strong financial position through prudent fiscal practices including
close monitoring of its operating expenses and capital expenditures, debt position,
investments, and currency exposures. Globe believes that it has sufficient financial flexibility to
weather the current economic downturn and pursue its strategies.
(d) Proven Management Team
Globe has a strong management team with the proven ability to execute on its business plan
and achieve positive results. With its continued expansion, it has been able to attract and
retain senior managers from the telecommunications, consumer products and finance
industries with experience in managing large scale and complex operations.
(e) Strong Shareholder Support
The Company’s principal shareholders are Ayala Corporation (AC) and Singapore Telecom
(STI), both industry leaders in the country and in the region. Apart from providing financial
support, this partnership has created various synergies and has enabled the sharing of best
practices in the areas of purchasing, technical operations, and marketing, among others.
Since 1993, they have invested approximately P23.0 billion in the Company.
F. Suppliers
Globe works with both local and foreign suppliers and contractors. Equipment and technology
required to render telecommunications services are mainly sourced from foreign countries. Its
principal suppliers, among others, are as follows:
For mobile – Nokia/Siemens (Finland); Ericsson Radio Systems AB (Sweden), Ericsson
(Sweden), Alcatel (France) and Microwave Networks Inc. (US).
For fixed line and broadband – Fujitsu Ltd. (Japan), Lucent Technologies (USA), NEC (Japan),
Alcatel (Italy), Motorola (USA), AT&T Global (US), British Telecom (UK), and Singapore Telecom
(Singapore) and Tellabs (USA/Singapore) and NERA (Norway).
G. Customers
Globe has a large subscriber base dispersed throughout the country. On the mobile front, the
Company ended the year with 26.5 million mobile subscribers/SIMs, comprised of 1.1 million
postpaid and approximately 25.4 million prepaid subscribers. Meanwhile, Globe has around
619,000 fixed line voice subscribers and around 1.1 million broadband customers.
No single customer and contract accounted for more than 20% of the Company’s total sales in
2010.

K. Research and Development
Globe did not incur any research and development costs from 2008 to 2010.
L. Compliance with Environmental Laws
The Globe Group complies with the Environmental Impact Statement (‘EIS’) system of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (‘DENR’) and pays nominal filing fees
required for the submission of applications for Environmental Clearance Certificates (‘ECC’) or
Certificates of Non-Coverage (‘CNC’) for its cell sites and certain other facilities, as well as
miscellaneous expenses incurred in the preparation of applications and the related environmental
impact studies. The Globe Group does not consider these amounts material.
Globe has not been subject to any significant legal or regulatory action regarding non-compliance
to relevant environmental regulations.
M. Employees
The Globe Group has 5,667 active regular employees as of December 31, 2010, of which about
9% are covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) through the Globe Telecom

Globe’s overall competitiveness and strengthen its position as a service leader in the telecom
industry, thereby enhancing shareholder value.
N. Risk Factors
1. Foreign Exchange Risk
Globe’s foreign exchange risk results primarily from movements of the Philippine peso (PHP)
against the US dollar (USD) with respect to its USD-denominated financial assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenditures. Approximately 27% of its revenues are in USD while substantially all
of its capital expenditures are in USD. In addition, 15%, 14% and 12% of debt as of December
31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are denominated in USD before taking into account any
swap and hedges.
Globe’s foreign exchange risk management policy is to maintain a hedged financial position after
taking into account expected USD flows from operations and financing transactions. It enters into
short-term foreign currency forwards and long-term foreign currency swap contracts in order to
achieve this target.
The Company mitigates its foreign exchange risk through the following:
First, the Company has foreign currency-linked revenues which include those (a) billed in foreign
currency and settled in foreign currency; (b) billed in pesos at rates linked to a foreign currency
tariff and settled in pesos, or (c) fixed line monthly service fees and the corresponding application
of the Currency Exchange Rate Adjustment (CERA) mechanism under which Globe has the
ability to pass the effects of local currency depreciation to its subscribers.
Second, Globe enters into short-term currency forwards to manage foreign exchange exposure
related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities while it enters into long
term foreign currency and interest rate swap contracts to manage foreign exchange and interest
rate exposures of certain long term foreign currency denominated loans.
There are no assurances that declines in the value of the Peso will not occur in the future or that
the availability of foreign exchange will not be limited. Recurrence of these conditions may
adversely affect Globe’s financial condition and results of operations.
SEC Form 17A 2010
23
2. Industry and Operational Risks
(a) Competitive Industry
Competition remains intense in the Philippine telecommunications industry as current
operators seek to increase market share with aggressive offerings while new entrants serve
to further heighten the competitive dynamics amidst a maturing mobile market. Globe’s
principal competitors are the PLDT/SMART and Digitel groups which offer popular services
such as mobile, fixed line as well as broadband services. Other players licensed to provide
mobile services include Bayantel, which has yet to launch its mobile services, and Extelcom.
The Philippine telecommunications industry continues to be dominated by the mobile
segment which contributed an estimated 66% of total industry revenues in 2010, lower than
the 68% it registered in 2009. Mobile subscriber growth has slowed down with nominal
penetration rates now in excess of 90%. Industry revenue growth has likewise slowed in
recent years, and has actually contracted in 2010 in spite of the significant rise in voice and
data traffic. Aggressive price competition have contributed to the decline in industry revenues,
and the continued shift in traffic from the standard pay-per-use services to unlimited and
bucket offers have put pressure on industry revenues and margins. The strong peso has also
negatively affected US$-linked revenues.
The continued growth and development of the mobile industry will depend on many factors.
Any significant economic, technological or regulatory development could result in either a
slowdown or growth in demand for mobile services and may impact Globe’s business,
revenues and net income. Globe’s mobile revenues in 2010 and 2009 accounted for 81% and
85%, respectively of its total service revenues.
(b) Highly Regulated Environment
Globe is regulated by the NTC for its telecommunications business, and by the SEC and the
BSP for other aspects of its business. The introduction of, changes in, or the inconsistent or
unpredictable application of laws or regulations from time to time, may materially affect the
operations of Globe, and ultimately the earnings of the Company which could impair its ability
to service debt. There is no assurance that the regulatory environment will support any
increase in business and financial activity for Globe.
The government’s communications policies have been evolving since 1993 when former
President Fidel V. Ramos initiated a more liberalized Philippine communications industry.
Changes in regulations or government policies or differing interpretations of such regulations
or policies have affected, and will continue to affect Globe’s business, financial condition and
results of operation. The NTC was established in 1979 to act as an independent regulatory
body to oversee, administer and implement the policies and procedures governing the
communications industry. The NTC grants licenses for varied terms. It may grant a long-term
license, called a certificate of public convenience and necessity (“CPCN”). Globe has
obtained CPCNs for its international gateway facility (“IGF”), local exchange carrier (“LEC”),
cellular mobile telephony service (“CMTS”), and interexchange carrier (“IXC”) services.
Though valid for 25 years, the NTC may amend certain terms of a CPCN, or revoke it for
cause, subject to due process procedures. Additionally, the exercise of regulatory power by
regulators, including monetary regulators, may be subject to review by the courts on the
complaint of affected parties.
No assurance can be given that the regulatory environment in the Philippines will remain
consistent or open. Current or future policies may affect the business and operations of
Globe.
SEC Form 17A 2010

(c) Philippine Political and Economic Factors
The growth and profitability of Globe may be influenced by the overall political and economic
situation of the Philippines.
(i) Economic Considerations
The Philippines has in the past experienced periods of slow or negative growth, high inflation,
and volatility in its exchange rate.
In 2010, the Philippine economy recovered strongly from the global economic recession in
2009, driven by the rebound in exports, increased private consumption on the back of higher
consumer confidence, sustained fiscal policy easing, and the acceleration of the outsourcing
industry that directly benefited the BPO sector of the country as well as indirectly spurred
growth for the other associated sector like construction. The economic growth also benefited
from the relatively peaceful 2010 national elections through increased election-related
spending, and renewed trust and confidence in the newly elected government.
In sharp contrast to 2009, when the country narrowly escaped a recession with Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) growing by a mere 1.1%, the 2010 annual GDP growth was at 7.3%
the highest rate of growth in the post-Marcos era. Economic performance in the year well
surpassed the government’s target growth of 5% to 6%, with services and the industry
sectors posting strong expansions, and despite the setback in the agricultural sector which
suffered from the effects of the El Niño phenomenon. The industry sector was the main
reason behind the high GDP growth rate, expanding by 12.1% compared to last year’s 0.9%
decline. Manufacturing was the main driver for the sector, supported by growth in the
construction and electricity, gas and water sectors. Services remained resilient, expanding by
7.1% on the back of the strong showing of trade, finance and private services, which
benefited from the acceleration in global outsourcing. These increases were partially
tempered by the continued weakness in the Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry (AFF) sector,
which posted a decline of 0.5%.
On the demand side, private consumption, which comprises over 78% of the country’s total
GDP, grew by 5.3% in 2010 on the back of high consumer spending fueled by improved
consumer confidence complemented by stimulus provided by election-related
spending. Investments in fixed capital also expanded with private construction requirements
expanding by 19.1% and investments in durable equipment growing by 25.7%. Supporting
domestic consumption was the sustained influx of OFW remittances, which increased from
US$17.3 billion in 2009 to US$18.8 billion in 2010. The BSP sustained its accommodative
stance, reducing its key policy rates to a record low of 4% for overnight borrowing and 6% for
overnight lending to help stimulate bank lending.
In 2010, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) upgraded its rating for the Philippines by a notch to “BB “
(two notches below investment grade) rating, which was the first rating upgrade the country
received from S&P in 13 years. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) also upgraded its
sovereign credit rating of the Philippines to “Ba3” (three notches below investment grade)
from B1 in July 2009, citing “prospects for the (Philippine) economy remain good, but a
1
number of crucial challenges are apparent.” Meanwhile, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), the only
remaining credit rating agency that has yet to revise its assessment on Philippine Sovereign
Debt, maintains its long-term foreign currency debt rating of the Philippines of “BB” (two
notches below investment grade).
While the economy is expected to continue its expansion in 2011, certain events in the
current year have tempered expectations. The global economy remains at a fragile state,
with its recovery further hampered by the uncertainties arising from the armed conflict in
Middle East and North Africa and its impact on oil prices, and the recent devastating
earthquake and tsunami that hit the eastern part of Japan, the world’s third largest economy.
These events could negatively impact the country’s growth prospects and as such, could
materially and adversely affect Globe’s business, financial condition and results of operations,
1

SEC Form 17A 2010
25
including Globe’s ability to enhance the growth of its subscriber base, improve its revenue
base and implement its business strategies.
(ii) Political Considerations
The Philippines has from time to time experienced political, social and military instability. In
February 1986, a peaceful civilian and military uprising ended the 21-year rule of President
Ferdinand Marcos and installed Corazon Aquino as President of the Philippines. Between
1986 and 1989, there were a number of attempted coups d’état against the Aquino
administration, none of which was successful.
Political conditions in the Philippines were generally stable during the mid to late 1990s
following the election of Fidel Ramos as President in 1992. His successor, Joseph Estrada
was subject to various allegations of corruption. He was eventually ousted from office
following impeachment proceedings, mass public protests and the withdrawal of support by
the military on corruption charges. Following President Estrada’s resignation, then Vice
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was sworn in as President on January 20, 2001.
President Arroyo was subjected to various impeachment complaints during her term. These
impeachment complaints involved various allegations including the manipulation of the results
of the presidential election in 2004, corruption and bribery. These complaints have fueled
mass protests led by various cause-oriented groups calling for the President to resign.
The Philippines held its most recent elections in May 2010, which marked the first attempt of
the Commission on Elections to implement a computerization of the national elections that
includes presidential, legislative and local positions. The elections have been deemed a
success, with the automation of the process and the relative decrease in election-related
violence adding credibility to the results. In June 2010, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III was
th
inaugurated as the 15 President of the Philippines. The son of former President Corazon
Aquino garnered over 40% of the vote and has injected the country with renewed optimism.
Despite the recent successful national elections, there can be no assurance that the future
political environment in the Philippines will be stable or future governments will adopt
economic policies conducive to sustaining economic growth. The growth and profitability of
Globe may be influenced by the overall political and economic situation of the Philippines.
Any political instability in the Philippines could negatively affect the country’s general
economic conditions which in turn could adversely affect Globe’s business, financial condition
or results of operations.
SEC Form 17A 2010

O. Management of Risks
Cognizant of the dynamism of the business and the industry and in line with its goal to
continuously enhance value for its stakeholders, Globe Telecom has put in place a robust risk
management approach that is fully integrated in its strategy planning, execution and day-to-day
operations.
As part of its strategy management calendar, senior management and key leaders regularly
conduct an enterprise–wide assessment of risks focused on identifying the key risks that could
threaten the achievement of Globe’s business objectives, both at the corporate and business unit
level, as well as specific plans to mitigate or manage such risks.
Risks are prioritized, depending on their impact to the overall business and the effectiveness by
which these are managed. Risk mitigation strategies are developed, updated and continuously
reviewed for effectiveness, and are also monitored through various control mechanisms.
Globe employs a two-dimensional view of risk monitoring. Senior Management’s scorecard
includes the status of risk mitigation plans as they relate to the attainment of a particular business
objective. Enterprise Risk Owners, on the other hand, regularly monitor and report the status of
the approved mitigation plans meant to address the key risks.
Annually, Globe conducts an Enterprise Risk Management Performance Evaluation which serves
as a basis for continuously improving our Risk Management processes and capabilities. (For
additional information on Enterprise Risk Management see Part V - Corporate Governance
section)

Item 2. Properties
A. Buildings and Leasehold Improvements
Globe owns several floors of Pioneer Highlands Towers 1 and 2, located at Pioneer Street in
Mandaluyong City, which serves as its corporate headquarters. This building was later renamed
as Globe Telecom Plaza. Globe also started construction work on its future Head Office in the
Fort Bonifacio Global City Taguig, which is expected to be completed by 2013. In addition, the
Company also owns host exchanges in the following areas: Bacoor, Batangas, Ermita, Iligan,
Makati, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Vito Cruz, Cubao-Aurora, among others.
The Company leases office spaces along Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, EDSA and Ermita for our
technical, administrative and logistics offices and host exchange, respectively. It also leases the
space for most of its 134 Globe Stores, 11,660 base stations and 6,698 cell sites throughout the
Philippines.
Globe’s existing business centers and cell sites located in strategic locations all over the country
are generally in good condition and are covered by specific lease agreements with various lease
payments, expiration periods and renewal options. As the Company continue to expand its
network in the next 12 months, Globe intends to lease more spaces for additional cell sites,
stores, and support facilities with lease agreements, payments, expiration periods and renewal
options that are undeterminable at this time. (For additional details on Buildings and Leasehold
Improvements see Note 7 of the attached notes to the 2010 Audited Financial Statements)
B. Telecommunications Equipment
As of 31 December 2010, the Company has mobile switching centers, 2G and 3G mobile
switching systems, transit switching centers and home location registers located in key areas
nationwide. It also utilizes a number of short messaging service centers, multimedia messaging
service centers and a wireless application protocol gateway to handle its SMS and value-added
services traffic.
The infrastructure for Innove’s fixed telephone service includes a number of telephone switching
exchanges and remote switching units in key locations in Metro Manila, the National Capital
Region, Visayas and Mindanao. The Company has 1.5 million installed fixed lines.
For its international and domestic long distance telephony business, Globe has a number of toll
switching systems in the National Capital Region, Visayas and Mindanao. It also operates
international gateway facilities to serve its international connectivity requirements.
Globe also has a national transmission network that includes a microwave Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (‘SDH’) backbone that stretches from the northern part of Luzon to the southern part of
Mindanao, supplemented by leased fiber optic networks in urban areas. Globe also established,
operates and maintains a Fiber Optic Backbone Network (‘FOBN’) linking the Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao island groups to complement its microwave facilities and which offers flexibility for
future telecommunications technology including broadband, GPRS, 3G and broadband data
nd
transmission. In November 2009, Globe completed work on its 2 FOBN which is expected to
provide additional capacity and improve redundancy to its existing FOBN.
SEC Form 17A 2010
28
C. Investments in Cable Systems
To provide resiliency and geographic diversity, Globe has also invested in several submarine
cable systems, which the Company either owns or leases a share of the systems’ total capacity.
Investments in cable systems include the cost of the Globe Group’s ownership share in the
capacity of certain cable systems under Construction & Maintenance Agreements; or indefeasible
rights of use (IRUs) under Capacity Purchase Agreements.
To date, Globe has investments in the following cable systems (shown below with their major
connectivity paths):
APCN2 – Asia Pacific Cable Network-2 (Trans-Asian region);
China-U.S. – (connects North Asia, mainly China to the United States);
C2C – City-to –City (Trans-Asian region);
SEA-ME-W3 – Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe;
SJC – Southeast Asia Japan Cable System – connects Singapore, Hong Kong,
Japan and the Philippines, with possible branches to other Asian destinations
(expected to be operational by 2013)
TGN-IA – Tata Global Network – Intra Asia cable system - connects Singapore,
Vietnam, Hong Kong, and the Philippines to the United States; and
The Company also has an international cable landing station located in Nasugbu, Batangas that
lands the C2C cable network, a 17,000 kilometer long submarine cable network linking the
Philippines to Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan and Singapore. Globe has separately
purchased capacity in the C2C cable network which it subsequently transferred to its subsidiary,
Innove.
Additionally, Globe has acquired capacities, either through lease or IRU, in selected cable
systems where the Company is not a consortium member or a private cable partner. These
include capacities in East Asia Crossing (EAC), Fiber Optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG), Japan
US Cable Network (JUCN), TGN-Pacific and Unity Cable, among others.
On 17 March 2009, Globe formally opened its second international cable landing station in
Ballesteros, Cagayan with the Company being the exclusive landing party in the Philippines to the
Tata Global Network – Intra Asia (TGN-IA) cable system. TGN-IA is a 6,700 kilometer trans-Asian
submarine cable system that links the Ballesteros, Cagayan cable landing station in the
Philippines to Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore with onward connectivity via the TGNPacific network to Guam and the United States.
On December 2009 Globe signed an agreement to be the exclusive landing party in the
Philippines of the Southeast Asia Japan Cable (SJC) cable system, the highest capacity system
in the world (with an initial design capacity of 17 terabits per second that can be upgraded to 23
tbps). Expected to be completed by 2013, Globe joins some of the biggest names in the industry
including Google, SingTel, KDDI, Telkom Indonesia and Bharti Airtel, to name a few, in this
venture.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On 23 July 2009, the NTC issued NTC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 05-07-2009 (Guidelines
on Unit of Billing of Mobile Voice Service). The MC provides that the maximum unit of billing for
the cellular mobile telephone service (CMTS) whether postpaid or prepaid shall be six (6)
seconds per pulse. The rate for the first two (2) pulses, or equivalent if lower period per pulse is
used, may be higher than the succeeding pulses to recover the cost of the call set-up.
Subscribers may still opt to be billed on a one (1) minute per pulse basis or to subscribe to
unlimited service offerings or any service offerings if they actively and knowingly enroll in the
scheme. In compliance with NTC MC 05-07-2009, Globe refreshed and offered to the general
public its existing per-second rates that, it bears emphasizing, comply with the NTC Memorandum
Circular. Globe made per second charging for Globe-Globe/TM-TM/Globe available for Globe
Subscribers dialing prefix 232 (GLOBE) OR 803 plus 10-digit TM or Globe number for TM
subscribers. The NTC, however, contends that Globe’s offering does not comply with the circular
and with the NTC’s Order of 7 December 2009 which imposed a three-tiered rate structure with a
mandated flag-down of P3.00, a rate of P0.4375 for the 13th to the 160th second of the first
minute and P0.65 for every 6-second pulse thereafter. On 9 December 2009, the NTC issued a
Cease and Desist Order requiring the carriers to refrain from charging under the previous billing
system or regime and refund consumers.
Globe maintains that the Order of the NTC of 7 December 2009 and the Cease and Desist Order
are void as being without basis in fact and law and in violation of Globe’s rights to due process.
Globe, Smart, Sun and CURE all filed petitions before the Court of Appeals seeking the
nullification of the questioned orders of the NTC. On 18 February 2010, the Court of Appeals
issued a Temporary Restraining Order preventing the NTC from enforcing the disputed Order.
On 25 May 2010, the CA issued a writ of preliminary injunction directing the NTC to cease and
desist from enforcing their assailed Order/s. On 28 December 2010, the CA rendered a Decision
declaring the questioned decisions invalid for being violative of the Petitioners’ right to due
process,among others. The Petitioners and the NTC filed their respective Motions for Partial
Reconsideration.
Globe believes that its legal position is strong and that its offering is compliant with the NTC’s
Memorandum Circular 05-07-2009, and therefore believes that it would not be obligated to make
a refund to its subscribers. If, however, Globe would be held as not being in compliance with the
circular, Globe may be contingently liable to refund to any complaining subscribers any charges it
may have collected in excess of what it could have charged under the NTC’s disputed Order of 7
December 2009, if indeed it is proven by any complaining party that Globe charged more with its
per second scheme than it could have under the NTC’s 6-second pulse billing scheme stated in
the disputed Order. Management has no estimate of what amount this could be at this time.
On 22 May 2006, Innove received a copy of the Complaint of Subic Telecom Company
(“Subictel”), Inc., a subsidiary of PLDT, seeking an injunction to stop the Subic Bay Metropolitan
Authority and Innove from taking any actions to implement the Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity granted by SBMA to Innove. Subictel claimed that the grant of a CPCN allowing
Innove to offer certain telecommunications services within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone would
violate the Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”) between PLDT and SBMA. The Court of Appeals
ordered the reinstatement of the case and has forwarded it to the NTC-Olongapo for trial.
PLDT and its affiliate, Bonifacio Communications Corporation (BCC) and Innove and Globe are in
litigation over the right of Innove to render services and build telecommunications infrastructure in
the Bonifacio Global City. In the case filed by Innove before the NTC against BCC, PLDT and the
Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), the NTC has issued a Cease and Desist Order
preventing BCC from performing further acts to interfere with Innove’s installations in the
Bonifacio Global City.
In the case filed by PLDT against the NTC in Branch 96 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of
Quezon City, where PLDT sought to obtain an injunction to prevent the NTC from hearing the
case filed by Innove, the RTC denied the prayer for a preliminary injunction and the case has
been set for further hearings. PLDT has filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Globe has
intervened in this case. In a resolution dated 28 October 2008, the RTC QC denied BCC’s
SEC Form 17A 2010
30
motion for the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO). The case is still pending with the
QC RTC.
In the case filed by BCC against FBDC, Globe Telecom and Innove, Bonifacio Communications
Corp. before the Regional Trial Court of Pasig, which case sought to enjoin Innove from making
any further installations in the BGC and claimed damages from all the parties for the breach of the
exclusivity of BCC in the area, the court did not issue a Temporary Restraining Order and has
instead scheduled several hearings on the case. In a resolution dated 28 October 2008, the RTC
QC denied BCC’s motion for the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO). The case is
still pending with the RTC Pasig.
On 11 November 2008, Bonifacio Communications Corp. (BCC) filed a criminal complaint against
the officers of Innove Communications Inc., the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC)
and Innove contractor Avecs Corporation for malicious mischief and theft arising out of Innove’s
disconnection of BCC’s duct at the Net Square buildings. The accused officers filed their counteraffidavits and are currently pending before the Prosecutor’s Office of Pasig. The case is still
pending resolution with the Office of the City Prosecutor.
On 21 January 2011, BCC and PLDT filed a Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition against NTC, et
al. seeking to annul the Orders of the NTC dated 28 October 2008 directing BCC, PLDT and
FBDC to comply with the provisions of NTC MC 05-05-02 and the CEASE AND DESIST from
performing further acts that will prevent Innove from implementing and providing
telecommunications services in the Fort Bonifacio Global City pursuant to the authorization
granted by the NTC. BCC and PLDT anchor their petition on the grounds that: 1) the NTC has no
jurisdiction over BCC it being a non telecommunications entity; 2) the NTC violated BCC and
PLDT’s right to due process; and 3) there was no urgency or emergency for the issuance of the
cease and desist order. The case is pending with the court of appeals.

D. Dividends
Dividends declared by the Company on its shares of stocks are payable in cash or in additional
shares of stock. Cash dividends are subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors
(‘BOD’) but no stockholder approval is required. Property dividends which may come in the form
of additional shares of stock are subject to approval by both the BOD and the Company's
stockholders.
On January 29, 2004, the BOD of Globe Telecom approved a dividend policy to declare cash
dividends to its common stockholders on a regular basis as may be determined by the BOD from
time to time. The BOD had set out a dividend payout rate of approximately 50% of prior year’s net
income payable semi-annually in March and September of each year. On July 31, 2006, the BOD
of Globe Telecom amended the dividend policy increasing the dividend payout rate to 75% of
prior year’s net income and implemented starting from the second semi-annual cash dividend
declaration in 2006. On November 6, 2009, the BOD of Globe Telecom amended the dividend
payment rate from 75% to a range of 75% to 90% of prior year’s net income. The dividend policy
is reviewed annually; taking into account Globe Telecom’s operating results, cash flows, debt
covenants, capital expenditure levels and liquidity.

2010 mobile service revenues include a one-time upward adjustment amounting to P526 million representing prepaid
load credits that have either expired or have already been used up.
2
Core net income is net income after tax (NIAT) but excluding foreign exchange and mark-to-market gains (losses), and
non-recurring items.
•
Consolidated service revenues in 2010 of P62.6 billion were higher by P112 million from
previous year’s P62.4 billion. Mobile revenues were down 5% with declining yields coming
from the unlimited and bucket offerings, and price pressures resulting from intense
competition. The fixed line and broadband businesses, on the other hand, rose 32% year-onyear with sustained demand from the corporate sector and the 50% expansion of broadband
subscriber base from a year ago. As a result, revenue mix shifted with the mobile business
comprising 81% of total service revenues from 85% in 2009, and the fixed line and broadband
segment accounting for 19% of the total from 15% in 2009.
•
This year’s results include the impact of the one-time upward adjustment of P526 million,
which represents prepaid load credits that have either expired or have already been used up.
Excluding this upward adjustment, consolidated service revenues would have closed the year
at P62.0 billion, just slightly below last year’s level of P62.4 billion.
SEC Form 17A 2010
37
•
Operating expenses and subsidy increased by 12% from a year ago, from P26.0 billion to
P29.0 billion, driven largely by higher network costs, marketing, outsourced services, and
receivable-related provisions. Network-related charges such as electricity, fuel, repairs and
maintenance grew as a result of an expanded 2G, 3G and broadband network. These were
offset by lower rent resulting from the termination of temporary cable leases following the
completion of FOBN2, the Company’s 2nd fiber optic backbone network. Subsidy and
marketing expenses also rose by 4% compared to 2009. As a percentage of service
revenues, marketing and subsidy was at 9% from 8% in 2009. Finally, operating costs in
2009 included reversals arising from the settlement of previously provisioned receivables, and
other one-time adjustments. Excluding these one-time adjustments, 2010 normalized
operating expenses and subsidy would have grown by a smaller 9% compared to the
reported 12%.
•
With the increase in operating expenses outpacing the growth in service revenues,
consolidated EBITDA was down 8% from P36.5 billion to P33.5 billion in 2010. While mobile
EBITDA margin remained healthy at 63% of service revenues, the higher contribution of the
fast-growing but lower-margin fixed line and broadband business diluted consolidated
EBITDA margin to 54% from 58% in 2009. Depreciation charges, on the other hand, grew
4% driven by investments in the broadband and mobile networks.
•
The Company closed the year with net income after tax of P9.7 billion, 22% lower than
previous period’s P12.6 billion. Net income for 2010 included the P526 million one-time
(before-tax) adjustment from prepaid load credits that have either expired or have been used
up, while 2009 net income included a one-time after-tax gain of about P398 million from an
equipment exchange transaction with an equipment supplier. Excluding foreign exchange,
mark-to-market gains and losses, as well as non-recurring items, core net income stood at
P9.1 billion, down 24% from past year’s P12.0 billion.
•
Total capital expenditures for the year amounted to P19.5 billion (or about US$431 million)
driven by the sustained expansion and upgrade of the Company’s broadband and mobile
networks. This is 21% lower than year ago spending of P24.7 billion which included a onetime spend in the Company’s domestic backbone network FOBN2, a second international
cable landing station in North Luzon, and the related investment in the TGN-Intra Asia
submarine cable system. As a result, total capital expenditures as a percentage of service
revenues dropped from 40% a year ago to 31% in 2010. At the end of the year, Globe has a
total of 11,660 base stations and 6,698 cell sites to support its 2G, 3G and WiMAX services.
•
For 2011, Globe is allocating about US$500 million in capital expenditures. This includes
about US$69 million of carryover spending from 2010. Of the US$500 million earmarked for
the year, around US$185 million is allocated for the broadband business, while another
US$160 million is allotted for the mobile telephony business to expand capacities, modernize
equipment, and improve network quality. This year’s capex also includes US$37 million to
support the continued growth of Globe’s corporate data business, as well as US$28 million to
strengthen Globe’s backend systems and delivery platforms. Finally, 2011 capex includes
about US$90 million in spend for international cable facilities and other one-time investments,
including the construction of a new corporate office that will consolidate Globe’s current
offices in Metro Manila into one location.
•
Regular cash dividends paid out in 2010 amounted to P10.6 billion, representing 84% of 2009
net income. This is in line with the Company’s dividend policy of distributing 75% to 90% of
prior year’s net income. Total dividend payout of P80 per share translates to a dividend yield
of 9% based on beginning of 2010 share prices.
•
For 2011, competition in the mobile telephony business is expected to further intensify, with
unlimited and bucket service pricing continuing to impact yields and margins and with the
likely entry of new operators. The broadband industry, on the other hand, is expected to grow
but at a slower rate. The Company’s priorities will continue to revolve around differentiated
customer service, improved network quality experience for its subscribers, and unique
product offers. Globe will focus on creating the preferred brand for cellphone internet in the
country. For broadband, meanwhile, the Company aims to improve profitability through
SEC Form 17A 2010
38
improved scale, more cross-selling, lower churn through an improved network, and lower
costs through process reengineering and better operating models. For the corporate data
business, Globe aims to sustain the double-digit growth through customized, value-adding
solutions, competitive pricing, and continued engagement with enterprise partners across the
country. In addition to the large corporations, the Company will focus as well on small and
medium-scale enterprises by providing them with affordable tools and solutions to help them
run their business more efficiently.

* 2010 mobile service revenues include a one-time upward adjustment amounting to P526 million representing
prepaid load credits that have either expired or have already been used up.
The Globe Group ended the year with total net operating revenues of P65.5 billion, 3% above
prior year’s P63.9 billion.
The mobile business comprised 81% of consolidated service revenues in 2010 compared to 85%
in the earlier period. Mobile revenues were affected by continued multi-SIM usage, subscriber
preference for value offers, and price pressures resulting from intense competition. Despite an
overall growth in voice and SMS traffic, revenues were weighed down by the lower-yield bucket
and unlimited service offerings. As a result, the mobile business closed the year with service
revenues of P50.5 billion, 5% below 2009 level of P53.3 billion.
Mobile subscriber growth remained strong. The business achieved a milestone in 2010 when its
mobile postpaid subscribers hit the 1 million mark. The innovative My Super Plan and My Fully
Loaded Plan fueled the expansion in subscriber base coupled with new subscriptions to Apple™
iPhone 4. Similarly, prepaid subscribers also rose to end 2010 at 25.4 million SIMs, up 13% from
2009.
The fixed line and broadband business, meanwhile, accounted for the remaining 19% of
consolidated service revenues for the year, higher than last year’s 15%. The broadband business
similarly accomplished a milestone when its subscribers reached 1 million towards the third
quarter of 2010. The expansion in client base coupled with the introduction of new services that
enable faster browsing speeds drove the broadband business to post record revenues of P5.7
billion during the year, up 75% compared to 2009. The fixed line data business also posted
strong growth given strong demand from the corporate sector, including the offshoring and
outsourcing industry.
Consolidated non-service revenues, on the other hand, more than doubled from last year’s level
of P1.4 billion to P3.0 billion driven largely by higher handset sales from the mobile business,
which posted record high acquisitions in the postpaid segment, as well as brisk sales of Globe
Broadband Tattoo.

Mobile voice net service revenues include the following:
a) Prorated monthly service fees on consumable minutes of postpaid plans;
b) Subscription fees on unlimited and bucket voice promotions including the expiration of the unused value of
denomination loaded;
c) Charges for intra-network and outbound calls in excess of the consumable minutes for various Globe
Postpaid plans, including currency exchange rate adjustments (CERA) net of loyalty discounts credited to
subscriber billings; and
d) Airtime fees for intra network and outbound calls recognized upon the earlier of actual usage of the airtime
value or expiration of the unused value of the prepaid load credit denomination (for Globe Prepaid and TM
SIMs) which occurs between 3 and 120 days after activation depending on the prepaid value reloaded by
the subscriber, net of (i) bonus credits and (ii) prepaid load credit discounts; and revenues generated from
inbound international and national long distance calls and international roaming calls.
Revenues from (a) to (d) are reduced by any interconnection or settlement payouts to international and local
carriers and content providers.

Mobile data net service revenues consist of prorated monthly service fees on free text allocation of postpaid
plans, revenues from value-added services such as inbound and outbound SMS and MMS, content
downloading, mobile data browsing and infotext, international VAS and related services, subscription fees on
unlimited and bucket prepaid SMS and add-on VAS services, net of any interconnection or settlement
payouts to international and local carriers and content providers.
Mobile Voice
Mobile voice revenues accounted for 51% of total mobile service revenues in 2010 and closed at
P26.0 billion, down 2% from previous year. Revenues from unlimited and bulk voice
subscriptions as well as roaming services were significantly higher than in 2009. These gains,
however, were not enough to fully compensate for the decline in regular voice and IDD services.
During the year, Globe sustained its breakthrough voice offerings, led by the pioneering persecond charging and its bulk and unlimited voice services. Sakto Calls, Tawag 236 for P20 for
20-minute intra-network calls, and Globe Prepaid’s P10 for a 3-minute call have remained market
favorites on top of the regular voice packages. Globe likewise sustained its unlimited voice
service SuperUnli which is available for as low as P25 a day, and the innovative 2-in-1 mobile and
landline service Duo and SuperDuo.
For TM, the Company similarly continued to offer its bucket voice call promotions such as
AstigTawag20 for consumable 15-minute calls to all networks for P20, TodoTawag P15 for 15minute intra-network calls, and TM SuliTawag for a 3-minute intra-network call for only P15. For
heavy and yet value-conscious users, on the other hand, TM has its unlimited voice services TM
UNLICOMBO for unlimited intra-network calls from 10 PM to 5 PM the following day coupled with
unlimited SMS for 24 hours, and TodoTawag Magdamag for unlimited calls during off-peak hours
from 11PM to 6 AM the following day for only P15.
For Filipinos who wish to stay connected with their loved ones abroad, Globe continued to offer its
pioneering IDD Sakto Calls and Super Sulit Tipid IDD services. Globe similarly expanded its allyou-can offerings to include international voice calls with its SuperIDD offering which supports

P99 a day. Globe also introduced IDD Tingi, a bucket IDD service to popular and selected
overseas destinations, while continuing to offer its TipIDD card at various Globe distribution
channels.
Mobile Data
Mobile data revenues accounted for 49% of total mobile service revenues, and decreased by 9%
from P26.8 billion in 2009 to P24.5 billion in 2010. Revenues from mobile browsing nearly
doubled year-on-year given the popularity of social networking sites, affordable pricing of mobile
data plans, and the prevalence of smartphones and access devices available in the market.
Revenue gains from this segment, however, were unable to fully cover the decline in regular SMS
revenues which remained to be affected by the lower-yield bucket and all-you-can text service
offerings.
During the year, the Company continued to offer its popular all-you-can text services such as
Globe’s UnliTxt, SuperUnli Txt and SuperTxt alongside TM’s AstigTxt10 and Todo Text 10 in
Mindanao. Globe also sustained its bucket SMS promotions SuliTxt, TxtOthers, EverybodyTx.t,
and SuperAll Txt coupled with TM’s AstigTxtAll and SuliTxt. The Company also launched
“combo” products such as Globe’s Super One for unlimited calls and text to a frequently called
Globe or TM number, and TM’s All Net Combo which provides 100 text messages plus 10
minutes of calls to all networks.
For its mobile internet services, Globe maintained its affordable add-on data plan Super Surf
which allows unlimited chatting, downloading, emailing and browsing for Globe Postpaid and
Globe Prepaid subscribers. Further, to encourage even more customers to try surfing the internet
using their mobile phones, Globe reduced the fee for its 30-day subscription to Super Surf for
both Globe Postpaid and Blackberry® subscribers from P1,200 to P999. The service is also
available for a 5-day subscription for only P220, and for as low as P50 a day for Globe Prepaid
subscribers. The Company similarly launched Power Surf which allows its Globe Prepaid
subscribers to purchase mobile internet hours by bulk in either of the two denominations: 3 hours
for P30 valid for a day, or 5 hours for P50 valid for 3 days.
For BlackBerry® users, Globe sustained its attractive and affordable data services such as the
following: unlimited BlackBerry® service for Globe Prepaid subscribers, Super Surf for
BlackBerry® which provides unlimited usage of the BlackBerry® APN for chatting, downloading,
emailing via push email service and mobile surfing for Globe Postpaid subscribers, and Super
Surf for BlackBerry® Max which provides unlimited use of both mobile internet service and
BlackBerry® APN for its Globe Postpaid subscribers.

As of 4Q 2010, Globe had a total of 1.33 million wireless postpaid subscribers which includes 1.07 million mobile
telephony and 0.26 million wireless broadband customers. This is higher compared to the 1.22 million wireless
postpaid subscribers as of 3Q 2010 which is comprised of 0.98 million mobile telephony subscribers and 0.24 million
wireless broadband customers. Mobile telephony revenues are reflected under “Mobile Service Revenues” while
wireless broadband revenues are included under “Broadband.”
Globe closed the year with a total mobile SIM base of 26.5 million, 14% higher than previous
year’s 23.2 million. Gross additions in the fourth quarter was sustained at 5.6 million, bringing full
year gross acquisitions to 21.8 million, 12% better than year ago level of 19.4 million. With churn
rates improving across all brands, net subscriber additions once again breached the 1 million
SEC Form 17A 2010
43
mark in the fourth quarter, the highest quarterly output since 2Q08. This brought full year
incremental subscribers to 3.2 million compared to a net reduction of 1.4 million in 2009.
The succeeding sections cover the key segments and brands of the mobile business – Globe
Postpaid, Globe Prepaid and TM.
Globe Postpaid
The postpaid segment accounted for 4% of the total mobile subscriber base in 2010. During the
period, Globe postpaid delivered record-breaking performances in key metrics. Gross additions
in the fourth quarter alone soared to 115,399, bringing full year gross acquisitions to an all-time
high of 412,894. With churn rates improving year-on-year from 1.95% to 1.92%, net additions
likewise surged to a record high of 214,769 in 2010. As a result, cumulative postpaid subscribers
stood at 1,066,137 as of end 2010, 25% higher than previous year’s level of 851,368 subscribers.
The innovative My Super Plan and My Fully Loaded Plan, which allow subscribers to customize
their plans, have been a major growth driver in this segment, enabling the Company to
accumulate record subscriptions in the second half of the year. Globe also capped the period by
TM
successfully bringing in the Apple iPhone 4 to the Philippine market. To complement these
initiatives and step up its acquisition campaign further, the Company launched new and exciting
promotional deals during the holiday season by offering more handsets and gadget bundles for its
postpaid plans. In the fourth quarter, Globe launched two BlackBerry® plans to meet the
increasing demand for mobile internet service. BlackBerry® Messaging gives subscribers
unlimited push email and instant messaging via BlackBerry® Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger,
AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Google Talk. BlackBerry® Social, on the other
hand, provides unlimited access to popular networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and
MySpace, and allows instant messaging as well. Both data plans are priced at P300 each for a
30-day subscription. Towards the end of 2010, the Company introduced Globe Tablet Plans for
customers with tablet devices. Postpaid customers can either access the internet for a
cumulative 50 hours for as low as P499 for 30 days, or surf all they want for only P999 a month.
The Globe SIM for tablet plans supports internet browsing at speeds of up to 2 Mbps.
Postpaid gross and net ARPUs of P1,609 and P1,192 were lower than last year’s P1,822 and
P1,283, respectively. Growth in mobile browsing and roaming revenues were offset by lower
domestic voice and SMS revenues, as well as lower inbound international revenues.
Postpaid SAC (subscriber acquisition costs) decreased by 35% from previous year’s P5,382 to
P3,489 due largely to lower subsidy, advertising and promotion charges. Costs, meanwhile,
remained recoverable within the 24-month contract period for postpaid subscribers.
Prepaid
Globe’s prepaid segment, which includes the Globe Prepaid and TM brands, comprises 96% of
its total subscriber base. As of end 2010, cumulative prepaid subscribers of 25.4 million were
13% above last year’s 22.4 million.
A prepaid subscriber is recognized upon the activation and use of a new SIM card. The
subscriber is provided with 60 days (first expiry) to utilize the preloaded SMS value. If the
subscriber does not reload prepaid credits within the first expiry period, the subscriber retains the
use of the mobile number but is only entitled to receive incoming voice calls and text messages
for another 120 days (second expiry). The second expiry is 120 days from the date of the first
expiry. However, if the subscriber does not reload prepaid credits within the second expiry period,
the account is permanently disconnected and considered part of churn. The first expiry periods of
reloads vary depending on the denominations, ranging from 1 day for P10 to 60 days for P300 to
P500 reloads. The first expiry is reset based on the longest expiry period among current and
previous reloads. Under this policy, subscribers are included in the subscriber count until
churned.
In 2009, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) published Memorandum Circular
03-07-2009 which promulgates the extension of the validity periods of prepaid reloads effective
July 19, 2009. Under the new pronouncement, the first expiry periods now range from 3 days for
SEC Form 17A 2010
44
P10 or below to 120 days for reloads amounting to P300 and above. The second expiry remains
at 120 days from the date of the new first expiry periods.
The succeeding sections discuss the performance of the Globe Prepaid and TM brands in more
detail.
a. Globe Prepaid
Globe Prepaid comprised 52% of the total mobile subscriber base in 2010. During the year, gross
acquisitions increased by 4% from last year’s 10.4 million to 10.8 million SIMs as a result of the
Company’s efforts to revitalize the prepaid brands and following the Company’s recalibration of its
acquisition drives in 2009 and the deliberate churn-out of marginal subscribers. With churn rate
declining year-on-year from 6.75% to 6.23%, net incremental subscribers for 2010 were 785,855,
reversing last year’s net reduction of 244,371. As a result, cumulative Globe Prepaid subscribers
rose 6% from last year’s 13.0 million to 13.8 million SIMs in 2010.
Globe continued to lead the market in innovation. Towards end of the year, the Company
launched another first-in-the-market offering, SuperFree Weekends, which is a load accumulator
program that rewards Globe Prepaid subscribers with 200 SMS to all networks and one hour of
mobile internet service during weekends upon accumulation of a total of P199 worth of load from
Monday to Friday. Load amount may be in any denomination and may be purchased from
Globe’s various reloading channels such as, AutoloadMax, call cards, via partner banks and
ATMs, GCash2Load, and via E-pins.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, Globe further intensified its line up of bucket and unlimited service
offerings with the launch of SUPERCOMBO20. The service provides unlimited text and 50
minutes of calls to Globe and TM subscribers for only P20 a day. The growing interest for
internet access driven by the introduction of new and exciting access devices such as tablets and
smartphones, coupled with the popularity of social networking sites, has prompted Globe to
develop more mobile browsing plans. BlackBerry® Messaging and BlackBerry® Social are also
available for Globe Prepaid subscribers at P300 each for 30 days, while the Globe Tablet Plans
may be availed by Globe Prepaid subscribers by subscribing to Super Surf for as low as P50 for 1
day or P220 for 5 days.
Despite an overall growth in voice and SMS traffic, Globe Prepaid gross and net ARPUs fell by
15% and 14%, respectively. The continued shift in usage from regular, pay-per-use to valuebased bucket and unlimited service offerings, alongside price pressures arising from intense
competition, were the key drivers behind the decline. Subscriber acquisition costs, on the other
hand, were maintained at last year’s level of P37 and remained recoverable within a month’s net
ARPU.
b. TM
TM closed the year with 11.6 million subscribers, up 24% from last year’s 9.3 million, and
accounted for 44% of total mobile subscriber base in 2010. Full year gross acquisitions rose 20%
from 8.8 million last year to 10.5 million as the Company concluded its clean-up of lower-quality
subscribers and revitalized its acquisition program. With churn rate substantially improving from
8.35% to 6.62%, net additions increased to over 2.2 million and reversed last year’s net reduction
of about 1.2 million subscribers.
In 2010, TM unveiled an extensive line of bucket and unlimited service offerings to gain a stronger
foothold in the mass market. Still bannered under the “Republika ng TM” campaign, the
Company intensified its acquisition and retention programs through product offerings such as ALL
NET COMBO, ASTIGTXTALL, and TM UNLICOMBO. To further enhance its services, the
Company recently launched a low-denomination bulk voice service TM DAGDAGCALL to allow
subscribers to make 3 consumable minutes of voice calls to any Globe or TM subscriber for only
P5. For SMS services, the Company launched TM DAGDAGTXT which allows subscribers to
send 10 texts to all networks for just P5 for 1 day. Similarly, TM boosted its service offerings with
ASTIGCOMBO10 which allows subscribers to send 50 text messages to all networks plus 10
consumable minutes of voice calls to other Globe and TM subscribers for only P10 a day.
SEC Form 17A 2010
45
ASTIGCOMBO20, on the other hand, provides 24 hours of unlimited SMS plus 100 consumable
minutes of intra-network voice calls for P20 a day.
Similar to trends in Globe Prepaid, TM gross and net ARPUs fell from 2009 levels by 2% and 6%,
respectively. Subscriber acquisition costs, on the other hand, dropped significantly by 21% yearon-year on lower handset and SIM pack subsidies, and remained recoverable within a month’s
net ARPU.
GCash
GCash continues to establish its presence in the mobile commerce industry. GCash’s initial thrust
towards money-transfers, purchase of goods and services from retail outlets, and sending and
receiving domestic and international remittances has spurred alliances in the field of mobile
commerce.
Today, GCash allows Globe and TM subscribers to pay or transact for the following using their
mobile phone:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
domestic and international remittances
utility bills
interest and amortization of loans
insurance premiums
donations to various institutions and organizations
sales commissions and payroll disbursements
school tuition fees
micro tax payments and business registration
electronic loads and pins
online purchases
airline tickets
In addition to the above transactions, GCash is also used as a wholesale payment facility. Net
registered GCash user base at the end of 2010 totaled 1.0 million.
On October 9, 2009, the Company announced that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has
approved the sale and transfer by Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) of its shares of stock in
Pilipinas Savings Bank, Inc. (PSBI) that will result in the ownership of PSBI as follows: 40 % each
for BPI and Globe Telecom and 20 % for Ayala Corporation (AC). BPI, Globe and AC plan to
transform PSBI into the country’s first mobile microfinance bank. On October 23, 2009 the official
name of PSBI was changed to BPI GLOBE BANKO, INC. after getting the approval of both the
BSP and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
BPI Globe BanKo Inc. opened its first branch last February 2010. It will initially focus on
wholesale lending to other microfinance institutions, but plans to expand into other retail banking
products and services.
Globe also launched its GCash Remit Service, providing mobile subscribers a quick, affordable
and convenient way to send and receive domestic and international remittances. With BSP’s
recent approval to use its sub-distributors as cash-in and cash-out outlets, GCash now has the
largest remittance network in the country with its 18,000 GCash outlets.
On October 14, 2010, Globe also achieved a milestone with the launch of the GCash Card, the
country’s first customizable ATM card linked to a mobile wallet. This gives subscribers 24/7
access to GCash and allows them to withdraw funds in their GCash via any of the 9,000 Bancnet,
Megalink, ExpressNet or Encash Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) nationwide. In addition, the
GCash Card is the only customizable ATM Card in the country where subscribers can make their
own personalized ATM card design or choose from a variety of design templates.

Cumulative fixed line voice subscribers grew 5% year-on-year to almost 619,000, driven by higher

broadband plans. This resulted in total fixed line voice revenues amounting to P2.8 billion, 1%
higher than prior year’s level. This 1% increase was in spite of the continued shift in traffic from
fixed line voice to mobile services and the resulting weaker demand for voice-only, fixed line
products.

Includes revenues from value-added services such as internet, data centers and bundled services.
The fixed line data segment sustained its strong growth and ended 2010 with P3.5 billion in
revenues, an increase of 15% over 2009 level of P3.0 billion following gains across all product
segments. Growth has been fueled by the Company’s continued expansion of its network of
high-speed data nodes, transmission links, and international bandwidth capacity to serve the
requirements of business and enterprise clients, including those in the financial services, retail,
offshoring and outsourcing industries.
To further address the communication needs of corporates, especially those frequently dealing
with business partners overseas, Globe Business recently launched Globe Telepresence, the
Company’s most advanced, close-to-live conferencing solution. Supported by Globe’s reliable
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) for Virtual Private Network (VPN) transport, Globe
Telepresence enables customers to conduct highly-immersive virtual meetings, supported by lifesize, high-definition images, and smooth, realistic, real-time motion and spatial audio. Globe
Telepresence connects to other telepresence rooms on the AT&T Business Exchange, giving
customers access to over 70 countries and territories, helping them save on travel time and costs.
Globe Business also develops reliable and cost-effective solutions for the country’s thriving small
and medium-sized enterprises (SME). Early in 2010, the Company launched Globe Negostar
Fair, a series of road shows and trade events that introduce Globe Business’ products, solutions,
and offers to the SMEs in that area. To date, Globe Business has conducted Negostar events in
20 key business centers in the country including Batangas, Angeles, Baguio, and Davao.

In 2010, Globe’s broadband business achieved a major milestone when its cumulative subscriber
base breached the 1 million mark, ending the year with over 1,074,000 subscribers, 50% higher
than the prior year’s level of 715,000. This was driven by the continued gains of Globe Broadband
Tattoo, the Company’s nomadic broadband service, and Globe WiMAX, Globe’s fixed wireless
service for at-home use. Globe WiMAX, which reached 100,000 subscribers in July 2010, is the
country’s biggest and fastest-growing WiMAX service and is available in over 420 towns and
cities, in over 60 provinces nationwide. Wireless broadband subscribers now account for 76% of
total broadband customers, up from 70% last year.
The robust subscriber pick-up translated to sustained revenue gains, with broadband service
revenues up 75% to close the year at P5.7 billion compared to P3.3 billion in 2009. The
broadband business now comprises 9% of consolidated service revenues compared to 5% in
2009.
In an effort to sustain the strong growth in the segment, Globe expanded its WiMAX offerings by
introducing a prepaid variant in July 2010. Globe WiMAX Prepaid 4G is available in data-only
prepaid kits at speeds of up to 3mbps for only P60 per day (plus one-time modem charge). Each
prepaid kit comes preloaded with P60 and can be topped-up through the following reload
channels: AMAX, Share-a-load, GCash, and ATMs. Globe also released Immortal Surf, the first
and only mobile internet offer that gives consumable internet surfing minutes without expiry. For
only P20, Immortal Surf provides subscribers with one hour of internet surfing minutes that will not
expire as long as the subscriber maintains a P5 maintaining balance.
In the last quarter of 2010, Globe also made its Globe Tattoo MyFi Device more affordable by
dropping prices of its prepaid kit from P7,000 to P4,995. Globe Tattoo MyFi is a wireless modem
and Wi-Fi router that enables one to share internet access with other Wi-Fi-capable devices
simultaneously. Meanwhile, for Globe Tattoo Plan499 and Plan999 subscribers, the price of the
MyFi device was also reduced from a monthly fee of P250 to P149 for 24 months. Following the
price drop of Globe Tattoo MyFi, Globe launched the Tattoo SuperStick, Globe Tattoo’s most
powerful mobile broadband, capable of speeds of up to 3 mbps, and with sharable Globepowered WIFI connection for only P1,299 per month. It also comes with one month of free
McAfee Antivirus Plus and 200 free SMS to Globe and TM subscribers every month.

ILD minutes originating from or terminating to Globe and Innove networks.
Both Globe and Innove offer ILD voice services which cover international call services between
the Philippines and more than 200 destinations with over 600 roaming partners. This service
generates revenues from both inbound and outbound international call traffic, with pricing based
on agreed international termination rates for inbound traffic revenues and NTC-approved ILD
rates for outbound traffic revenues.
On a consolidated basis, ILD voice revenues from the mobile and fixed line businesses declined
by 11% from P14,317 million last year to P12,794 million. This is mainly due to a 2% decline in
total ILD traffic with the 3% decline in the higher-volume inbound traffic offsetting the 3% growth
in outbound traffic. In addition to the lower traffic, the stronger peso has also negatively impacted
ILD revenues.
The Company sustained its promotion of OFW SIM packs and its discounted call rate offers
through such services as IDD Sakto Call (per-second IDD), TipIDD card, and IDD Tingi – the first
bulk IDD service which can be purchased via registration and through AMAX retailers nationwide.
This is available in two denominations: P20 for 5-minute calls to US, Canada, Hong Kong
Singapore and Taiwan, and P30 for 3-minute calls to Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait. In the first
quarter of the year, Globe launched its SuperIDD promo, the first and only Unlimited Off-Peak
IDD offer for calls to the US and Canada (11:00pm to 5:59am Philippine Time) for only P99/day
and P1,999 for 30 days. The Company also added My SuperIDD to the roster of all-you-can
services available in MY SUPERPLAN. Subscribers can now also enjoy the service and will
simply be charged P1,999 a month, on top of all other all-you-can subscriptions.
Interconnection
Domestically, the Globe Group pays interconnection access charges to other carriers for calls
originating from its network terminating to other carriers’ networks, and hauling charges for calls
that pass through Globe’s network terminating in another network.
Internationally, the Globe Group also incurs payouts for outbound international calls which are
based on a negotiated price per minute, and collects termination fees from foreign carriers for
calls terminating in its network. The Globe Group also collects interconnection access charges
from local carriers whose calls and SMS terminate in Globe Group’s network.

Subsidy and Marketing
Total subsidy decreased by 19% year on year to P1,246 million from P1,530 million in 2009.
While subscriber gross additions for both mobile and broadband were higher compared to 2009,
lower mobile handset and broadband CPE subsidies pulled down total costs. Meanwhile, selling,
advertising, and promotions of P4,269 million were higher by 13% compared to 2009 as the
Company executed on its thrusts to grow its broadband subscriber base, sustain the growth of
Globe Postpaid, while revitalizing its mobile prepaid brands.
Total subsidy, selling, advertising and promotions of P5,515 million represent 19% of total
operating expenses and subsidy. As a percentage of revenues, total subsidy, selling, advertising
and promotions reached 9% in 2010, compared to 8% last year.
Staff Costs
Staff costs, which accounted for 18% of total operating expenses, increased by 2% year-on-year
from P4,981 million to P5,089 million, mainly driven by higher pension costs during the period.
Total headcount increased by 4% year on year to 5,667 from 5,451 by the end of 2009.
Rent
Rent expense which accounted for 10% of the total operating expenses posted a favorable 19%
year-on-year decrease due to the termination of certain leases for temporary capacity protection
with the completion in November 2009 of FOBN2, Globe’s second fiber optic backbone.
Provisions
This account includes provisions related to trade, non-trade and traffic receivables and inventory.
Overall, provisions posted a net increase of 102% year on year or P741 million as the Company
implemented a more stringent provisioning policy for its fixed line receivables. Provisions for
2009 is also net of an upside adjustment arising from the settlement of previously provisioned

receivables. As a percentage of service revenues, provisions was at 2% compared to 1% in
2009.
Services and Others
Services and Others, which accounted for 27% of total operating expenses, increased by 21% or
P1,290 million from P6,235 million in 2009 to P7,525 million in 2010, mainly on higher charges
related to various outsourced functions such as call centers, technical helpdesk, subscriber line
installation services, as well as other services related to the Company’s expanded mobile and
broadband network and subscriber base.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 4% year on year or P698 million to
P18,086 million in 2010 from P17,388 million in 2009 due to additional investments resulting from
the continued expansion of the Company’s broadband and mobile networks.

As of end 2010, the Globe Group’s non-operating charges increased by 29% from P1,101 million
in 2009 to P1,415 million in 2010. Charges for 2009 included a gain, reported under “Others-net,”
from an exchange transaction undertaken by Globe with one of its equipment suppliers to convey
and transfer ownership of existing telecommunications equipment in exchange for a more
advanced system. This resulted to an after-tax gain amounting to P398 million, equivalent to the
difference between the value of the new system and carrying amount of the old equipment.
With the Philippine peso registering a 6% appreciation from January to December 2010, the
Company recorded higher net foreign exchange gains of P465 million in contrast to the P287
million net gains booked last year when the peso strengthened by 3% against the US dollar. (See
related discussion on derivative instruments and swap costs in the Foreign Exchange and Interest
Rate Exposure section).
Meanwhile, interest expense decreased by 5% from P2,097 million last year to P1,982 million on
lower borrowings during the period coupled with the decline in average local and foreign interest
rates. Interest income likewise decreased by 19% from P272 million to P219 million on lower
short-term and held-to-maturity investments coupled with the declining peso and US$ interest
rates.

Globe’s balance sheet and cash flows remain strong with ample liquidity and gearing within
optimum level.
Globe Group’s consolidated assets as of 2010 amounted to P
= 130,628 million compared to
P
= 127,644 million in 2009. Consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short term investments
(including investments in assets available for sale and held to maturity investments) was at
P5,869 million at the end of the period compared to P5,943 million in 2009.
The Company’s gearing levels have been increasingly optimized over the past few years with the
raised dividend payouts and higher proportion of debt to total capitalization. Globe ended the
year with gross debt to equity ratio of 1.07:1 on a consolidated basis which is well within the 2:1
debt to equity limit dictated by its debt covenants. Meanwhile, net debt to equity ratio was at
0.95:1 compared to 0.87:1 for the same period last year.
The financial tests under Globe’s loan agreements include compliance with the following ratios:
•
•
•
•
Total debt to equity not exceeding 2:1;
Total debt to EBITDA not exceeding 3:1;
Debt service coverage 1 exceeding 1.3 times; and
Secured debt ratio 2 not exceeding 0.2 times.
As of 31 December 2010, Globe is well within the ratios prescribed under its loan agreements.

2
Debt service coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of EBITDA to required debt service, where debt service includes
subordinated debt but excludes shareholder loans.
Secured debt ratio is defined as the ratio of the total amount for the period of all present consolidated obligations for
payment, whether actual or contingent which are secured by Permitted Security Interest as defined in the loan
agreement to the total amount of consolidated debt. Globe has no secured debt as of 31 December 2010.

Meanwhile, net cash used in investing activities amounted to P16,929 million, 22% below 2009
level of P21,829 million driven by lower capital expenditures. Full year 2010 consolidated capital
expenditures declined by 21% from P24,702 million in 2009 to P19,467 million in 2010. Last
year’s amount included a one-time spend in the Company’s domestic backbone network FOBN2
and the related investment in the TGN-Intra Asia submarine cable system.

Consolidated capital expenditures include property and equipment, intangibles and capitalized borrowing costs
acquired as of report date regardless of whether payment has been made or not.
For 2011, Globe has earmarked about US$500 million in capital expenditures. This includes
about US$69 million of carryover spending from 2010. Of the US$500 million earmarked for the
year, around US$185 million is allocated for the broadband business, while another US$160
million is allotted for the mobile telephony business to expand capacities, modernize equipment,
and improve network quality. Capex for 2011 also includes US$37 million to support the
continued growth of Globe’s corporate data business as well as US$28 million to strengthen the
Company’s backend systems and delivery platforms. Finally, 2011 capex also includes about
US$90 million in spend for international cable facilities and other one-time investments, including
the construction of a new corporate office that will consolidate Globe’s current offices in Metro
Manila into one location. The Company will finance its capital requirements for the year with
internally-generated funds and additional borrowings.
Consolidated net cash used in financing decreased by 10% to P10,172 million in 2010 on lower
cash dividends paid out during the year. Consolidated total debt increased by 6% from P47,477
million to P50,371 million in 2010. Loan repayments of Globe for the period amounted to P11,987
million, a 14% decrease compared to the P13,822 million paid in 2009.
Out of the total debt of US$1,156 million, 15% is denominated in US$ out of which 1% has been
hedged to pesos. As a result, the amount of US$ debt swapped into pesos and pesodenominated debt account for approximately 86% of consolidated loans as of the end of 2010.

In November 2010, Globe Telecom, Inc. signed a five-year, P4.0 billion term loan facility with
Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company (Metrobank) to prepay part of its existing debts and fund
part of the Company’s capital expenditures for 2011. The Metrobank loan was the third loan
facility signed by Globe during the period. In February 2010, Globe inked a P2.0 billion loan with
Allied Banking Corp., while in September, the Company closed a five-year, P5.0 billion term loan
facility with the Development Bank of the Philippines.
In February 2011, Globe Telecom, Inc. signed a seven-year, P7.0 billion term loan facility with
BDO Unibank, Inc. as lender to fund part of this year’s capital expenditures and prepay existing
debts. This is the Company’s first loan facility for 2011.
Stockholders’ equity as of end of 2010 stood at P46,869 million, 2% below the P47,709 million
level in 2009.
As of 31 December 2010, Globe’s capital stock consists of:
Preferred Shares
Preferred stock Series “A” at a par value of P5 per share of which 158 million shares are
outstanding out of a total authorized of 250 million shares.
Preferred stock “Series A” has the following features:
a. Convertible to one common share after 10 years from issue date on June 29, 2001 at not
less than the prevailing market price of the common stock less the par value of the
preferred shares;
b. Cumulative and non-participating;
c. Floating rate dividend;
d. Issued at P5 par;
e. With voting rights;
f. Globe has the right to redeem the preferred shares at par plus accrued dividends at any
time after 5 years from date of issuance; and

The dividends for preferred shares are declared upon the sole discretion of the Board of Directors
(BOD) of Globe Telecom. As of December 31, 2010, the Globe Group has dividends in arrears to
its preferred stockholders amounting to P45.40 million.
Common Shares
Common shares at par value of P50 per share of which 132 million are issued and outstanding
out of a total authorized of 180 million shares.
SEC Form 17A 2010

Cash Dividends
The dividend policy of Globe Telecom as approved by the Board of Directors is to declare cash
dividends to its common stockholders on a regular basis as may be determined by the Board.
The dividend payout rate starting 2006 is approximately 75% of prior year’s net income payable
semi-annually in March and September of each year. This is reviewed annually, taking into
account Globe Telecom’s operating results, cash flows, debt covenants, capital expenditure
levels and liquidity.
On November 6, 2009, the Board of Directors amended the dividend payment rate from 75% to a
range of 75% - 90% of prior year’s net income.
On February 8, 2011, the Board of Directors approved the declaration of the first semi-annual
cash dividend of P
= 31.00 per common share, payable to shareholders on record as of February
22, 2011. Total dividends of P
= 4.1 billion will be paid on March 18, 2011.
Consolidated Return on Average Equity (ROE) was at 21% in 2010 compared to 26% in 2009
using net income and based on average equity balances for the year ended.
Accordingly, consolidated basic earnings per common share were P73.63 and P94.59, while
consolidated diluted earnings per common share were P73.12 and P94.31 for the years ended 31
December 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Financial Risk Management
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
Foreign exchange risks are managed such that USD inflows from operations (transaction
exposures) are balanced or offset by the net USD liability position of the company (translation
exposures). Globe Group’s objective is to maintain a position which results in, as close as
possible, a neutral effect to the P&L relative to movements in the foreign exchange market.
Transaction exposures
Globe has natural net US$ inflows arising from its operations. Consolidated foreign currencylinked revenues1 were at 27% and 29% of total service revenues for the periods ended 31
December 2010 and 2009, respectively. In contrast, Globe’s foreign-currency linked expenses
were 10% and 11% out of total operating expenses for the same periods ended, respectively.
The US$ flows are as follows:
US$ and US$ Linked Revenues
US$ Operating Expenses
US$ Net Interest Expense
2010
P17.0 billion
P2.7 billion
P0.2 billion
Due to these net US$ inflows, an appreciation of the Peso has a negative impact on Globe’s Peso
EBITDA. Globe occasionally enters into forward contracts to hedge against a peso appreciation.
A total of US$35 million of contracts remain outstanding as of the end of December 2010. The
MTM of the outstanding forwards stood at a loss of P2 million as of end December 2010.
Realized gains from forward contracts that matured in 2010 amounted to P76 million.
Translation Exposures
Globe also has US$ assets and liabilities which are revalued at market rates every period. These
are as follows:
US$ Assets
US$ Liabilities
Net US$ Liability Position
December 2010
US$100 million
US$368 million
US$268 million
For accounting purposes, the foreign currency assets and liabilities are revalued at the current
exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. Given the net US$ liability position, an
appreciation of the peso results in a revaluation or forex gain in our P&L. As of December 2010,
the Philippine Peso stood at P43.811 to the US dollar, a 6% appreciation versus the 2009 yearend rate of P46.425. Due to the strengthening of the Peso, the Globe Group charged a total of
P465 million in net foreign exchange gains to current operations for the year ended December
2010.
Prior to 2004, the Company entered into long term currency swap agreements to hedge the
currency exposure on its liabilities. As of end-December 2010, the Company has only one such
remaining agreement, with a notional amount of US$2.5 million. The MTM of this swap contract
stood at a loss of P36 million as of end December 2010.

Includes the following revenues:
(1) billed in foreign currency and settled in foreign currency, and
(2) billed in Pesos at rates linked to a foreign currency tariff and settled in Pesos
SEC Form 17A 2010
58
INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE
Interest rate exposures are managed via targeted levels of fixed versus floating rate debt that are
meant to achieve a balance between cost and volatility. Globe’s policy is to maintain between 4488% of its peso debt in fixed rate, and between 31-62% of its US$ debt in fixed rate.
As of end December 2010, Globe has a total of US$64 million and P5 billion in interest rate swap
contracts that were entered into to achieve these targets (please refer to Note 28.3 of the
attached Notes to the Financial Statements). US$59 million of the total interest rate swaps are
US$ swaps under which the Company effectively swapped some of its floating US$ denominated
loans into fixed rate, with quarterly or semi-annual payment intervals up to April 2012. Globe also
has US$5 million in notional amount of US$ swaps under which the Company receives a fixed
rate of 9.75% and pays a floating rate based on LIBOR, subject to a cap. The payments on the
swap are subject to the performance of 10 and 30 year US$ interest rates. Lastly, the Company
has a P5 billion interest rate swap, under which the Company effectively fixed the rate on an
outstanding floating rate debt.
As of end of December 2010, 65% of peso debt is fixed, while 32% of USD debt is fixed after
swaps.
The MTM of the interest rate swap contracts stood at a loss of P152 million as of end December
2010.
CREDIT EXPOSURES FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Outstanding credit exposures from financial instruments are monitored daily and allowable
exposures are reviewed quarterly.
For investments, the Globe Group does not have investments in foreign securities (bonds,
collateralized debt obligations (CDO), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO), or any
instruments linked to the mortgage market in the US). Globe’s excess cash is invested in short
tem bank and SDA deposits.
The Globe Group also does not have any investments or hedging transactions with investment
banks. Derivative transactions as of the end of the period are with large foreign and local banks.
Furthermore, the Globe Group does not have instruments in its portfolio which became inactive in
the market nor does the company have any structured notes which require use of judgment for
valuation purposes. (Please refer to Note 28.2.2 of the attached Notes to the Financial
Statements for additional information on active and inactive markets).
VALUATION OF DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
The company uses valuation techniques that are commonly used by market participants and that
have been demonstrated to provide reliable estimates of prices obtained in actual market
transactions. The company uses readily observable market yield curves to discount future
receipts and payments on the transactions. The net present value of receipts and payments are
translated into Peso using the foreign exchange rate at time of valuation to arrive at the mark to
market value. For derivative instruments with optionality, the company relies on valuation reports
of its counterparty banks, which are the company’s best estimates of the close-out value of the
transactions.
Gains (losses) on derivative instruments represent the net mark-to-market (MTM) gains (losses)
on derivative instruments. As of 31 December 2010, the MTM value of the derivatives of the
Globe Group amounted to a loss of P226 million while gains on derivative instruments arising
from changes in MTM reflected in the consolidated income statements amounted to P47 million.
(Please refer to Note 28.8 of the attached Notes to Financial Statements for gains/losses of
preceding periods).
To measure riskiness, the Company provides a sensitivity analysis of its profit and loss from
financial instruments resulting from movements in foreign exchange and interest rates. (Please
refer to attached Notes 28.2.1.1 and 28.2.1.2 of the Financial Statements for the sensitivity
SEC Form 17A 2010
59
analysis results.) The interest rate sensitivity estimates the changes to the following P&L items,
given an indicated movement in interest rates: (1) interest income, (2) interest expense, (3) markto-market of derivative instruments. The foreign exchange sensitivity estimates the P&L impact of
a change in the USD/PHP rate as it specifically pertains to the revaluation of the net unhedged
liability position of the company, and foreign exchange derivatives.
Recent Legal Developments
On 23 July 2009, the NTC issued NTC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 05-07-2009 (Guidelines
on Unit of Billing of Mobile Voice Service). The MC provides that the maximum unit of billing for
the cellular mobile telephone service (CMTS) whether postpaid or prepaid shall be six (6)
seconds per pulse. The rate for the first two (2) pulses, or equivalent if lower period per pulse is
used, may be higher than the succeeding pulses to recover the cost of the call set-up.
Subscribers may still opt to be billed on a one (1) minute per pulse basis or to subscribe to
unlimited service offerings or any service offerings if they actively and knowingly enroll in the
scheme. In compliance with NTC MC 05-07-2009, Globe refreshed and offered to the general
public its existing per-second rates that, it bears emphasizing, comply with the NTC Memorandum
Circular. Globe made per second charging for Globe-Globe/TM-TM/Globe available for Globe
Subscribers dialing prefix 232 (GLOBE) OR 803 plus 10-digit TM or Globe number for TM
subscribers. The NTC, however, contends that Globe’s offering does not comply with the circular
and with the NTC’s Order of 7 December 2009 which imposed a three-tiered rate structure with a
mandated flag-down of P3.00, a rate of P0.4375 for the 13th to the 60th second of the first minute
and P0.65 for every 6-second pulse thereafter. On 9 December 2009, the NTC issued a Cease
and Desist Order requiring the carriers to refrain from charging under the previous billing system
or regime and refund consumers.
Globe maintains that the Order of the NTC of 7 December 2009 and the Cease and Desist Order
are void as being without basis in fact and law and in violation of Globe’s rights to due process.
Globe, Smart, Sun and CURE all filed petitions before the Court of Appeals seeking the
nullification of the questioned orders of the NTC. On 18 February 2010, the Court of Appeals
issued a Temporary Restraining Order preventing the NTC from enforcing the disputed Order.
On 25 May 2010, the CA issued a writ of preliminary injunction directing the NTC to cease and
desist from enforcing their assailed Order/s. On 28 December 2010, the CA rendered a Decision
declaring the questioned decisions invalid for being violative of the Petitioners’ right to due
process,among others. The Petitioners and the NTC filed their respective Motions for Partial
Reconsideration.
Globe believes that its legal position is strong and that its offering is compliant with the NTC’s
Memorandum Circular 05-07-2009, and therefore believes that it would not be obligated to make
a refund to its subscribers. If, however, Globe would be held as not being in compliance with the
circular, Globe may be contingently liable to refund to any complaining subscribers any charges it
may have collected in excess of what it could have charged under the NTC’s disputed Order of 7
December 2009, if indeed it is proven by any complaining party that Globe charged more with its
per second scheme than it could have under the NTC’s 6-second pulse billing scheme stated in
the disputed Order. Management has no estimate of what amount this could be at this time.
On 22 May 2006, Innove received a copy of the Complaint of Subic Telecom Company
(“Subictel”), Inc., a subsidiary of PLDT, seeking an injunction to stop the Subic Bay Metropolitan
Authority and Innove from taking any actions to implement the Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity granted by SBMA to Innove. Subictel claimed that the grant of a CPCN allowing
Innove to offer certain telecommunications services within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone would
violate the Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”) between PLDT and SBMA. The Court of Appeals
ordered the reinstatement of the case and has forwarded it to the NTC-Olongapo for trial.
PLDT and its affiliate, Bonifacio Communications Corporation (BCC) and Innove and Globe are in
litigation over the right of Innove to render services and build telecommunications infrastructure in
the Bonifacio Global City. In the case filed by Innove before the NTC against BCC, PLDT and the
Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), the NTC has issued a Cease and Desist Order
preventing BCC from performing further acts to interfere with Innove’s installations in the
Bonifacio Global City.
SEC Form 17A 2010

In the case filed by PLDT against the NTC in Branch 96 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of
Quezon City, where PLDT sought to obtain an injunction to prevent the NTC from hearing the
case filed by Innove, the RTC denied the prayer for a preliminary injunction and the case has
been set for further hearings. PLDT has filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Globe has
intervened in this case. In a resolution dated 28 October 2008, the RTC QC denied BCC’s
motion for the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO). The case is still pending with the
QC RTC.
In the case filed by BCC against FBDC, Globe Telecom and Innove, Bonifacio Communications
Corp. before the Regional Trial Court of Pasig, which case sought to enjoin Innove from making
any further installations in the BGC and claimed damages from all the parties for the breach of the
exclusivity of BCC in the area, the court did not issue a Temporary Restraining Order and has
instead scheduled several hearings on the case. In a resolution dated 28 October 2008, the RTC
QC denied BCC’s motion for the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO). The case is
still pending with the RTC Pasig.
On 11 November 2008, Bonifacio Communications Corp. (BCC) filed a criminal complaint against
the officers of Innove Communications Inc., the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC)
and Innove contractor Avecs Corporation for malicious mischief and theft arising out of Innove’s
disconnection of BCC’s duct at the Net Square buildings. The accused officers filed their counteraffidavits and are currently pending before the Prosecutor’s Office of Pasig. The case is still
pending resolution with the Office of the City Prosecutor.
On 21 January 2011, BCC and PLDT filed a Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition against NTC, et
al. seeking to annul the Orders of the NTC dated 28 October 2008 directing BCC, PLDT and
FBDC to comply with the provisions of NTC MC 05-05-02 and the CEASE AND DESIST from
performing further acts that will prevent Innove from implementing and providing
telecommunications services in the Fort Bonifacio Global City pursuant to the authorization
granted by the NTC. BCC and PLDT anchor their petition on the grounds that: 1) the NTC has no
jurisdiction over BCC it being a non telecommunications entity; 2) the NTC violated BCC and
PLDT’s right to due process; and 3) there was no urgency or emergency for the issuance of the
cease and desist order. The case is pending with the court of appeals.

ANNEX TO THE 2010 MD&A SECTION
1. Events that will trigger direct or contingent financial obligations that are material
including any default or acceleration of an obligation:
Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except
for the adoption of the following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations of
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which became effective on
January 1, 2010. Except as otherwise indicated, the adoption of the new and amended
Standards and Interpretations did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
•
Revised PFRS 3, Business Combinations and Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 27,
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The revised PFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business
combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the
period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. The revised PAS 27 requires,
among others, that (a) change in ownership interests of a subsidiary (that do not result in loss
of control) will be accounted for as an equity transaction and will have no impact on goodwill
nor will it give rise to a gain or loss; (b) losses incurred by the subsidiary will be allocated
between the controlling and non-controlling interests (NCI) (previously referred to as ‘minority
interests’), even if the losses exceed the non-controlling equity investment in the subsidiary;
and (c) on loss of control of a subsidiary, any retained interest will be remeasured to fair value
and this will impact the gain or loss recognized on disposal.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC17, Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners
This Interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity
distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as
dividends.
•
Amendment to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible
Hedged Items
This Amendment clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value
changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item. This also covers
the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. The Group has
concluded that the amendment will have no impact on the financial position or performance of
the Group, as the Group has not entered into any such hedges.
•
Amendments to PFRS 2, Share-based Payment: Group Cash-settled Transactions
This Amendment clarifies the scope and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based
payment transactions.
Improvements to PFRSs
The omnibus amendments to PFRSs issued in May 2008 and April 2009 were issued primarily
with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wordings. There are separate transitional
provisions for each standard. The adoption of these amended standards did not have any
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Globe Group, unless otherwise
indicated.
Issued in May 2008
• IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
This Amendment clarifies that when a subsidiary is classified as held for sale, all its assets
and liabilities are classified as held for sale, even when the entity remains a
non-controlling interest after the sale transaction. The Amendment is applied prospectively.
SEC Form 17A 2010
62
Issued in April 2009
• PFRS 2, Share-based Payment
This Amendment clarifies that the contribution of a business on formation of a joint venture
and combinations under common control are not within the scope of PFRS 2 even though
they are out of scope of PFRS 3.
•
PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
This Amendment clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and
disposal groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out in
PFRS 5. The disclosure requirements of other PFRSs only apply if specifically required for
such non-current assets or discontinued operations.
•
PFRS 8, Operating Segments
This Amendment clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need only be reported when
those assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the chief operating
decision maker.
•
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
This Amendment clarifies that the terms of a liability that could result, at anytime, in its
settlement by the issuance of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty do not
affect its classification.
•
PAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows
This Amendment explicitly states that only expenditure that results in a recognized asset can
be classified as a cash flow from investing activities.
•
PAS 17, Leases
This Amendment removes the specific guidance on classifying land as a lease. Prior to the
amendment, leases of land were classified as operating leases. This Amendment requires
that leases of land are classified as either ‘finance’ or ‘operating’ in accordance with the
general principles of PAS 17.
•
PAS 36, Impairment of Assets
This Amendment clarifies that the largest unit permitted for allocating goodwill, acquired in a
business combination, is the operating segment as defined in PFRS 8 before aggregation for
reporting purposes.
•
PAS 38, Intangible Assets
This Amendment clarifies that if an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is
identifiable only with another intangible asset, the acquirer may recognize the group of
intangible assets as a single asset provided the individual assets have similar useful lives. It
clarifies that the valuation techniques presented for determining the fair value of intangible
assets acquired in a business combination that are not traded in active markets are only
examples and are not restrictive on the methods that can be used.
•
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
This Amendment clarifies the following: 1) that a prepayment option is considered closely
related to the host contract when the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the
lender up to the approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host
contract; 2) that the scope exemption for contracts between an acquirer and a vendor in a
business combination to buy or sell an acquiree at a future date applies only to binding
forward contracts, and not derivative contracts where further actions by either party are still to
be taken and 3) that gains or losses on cash flow hedges of a forecast transaction that
subsequently results in the recognition of a financial instrument or on cash flow hedges of
recognized financial instruments should be reclassified in the period that the hedged forecast
cash flows affect profit or loss.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
This Interpretation clarifies that it does not apply to possible reassessment, at the date of
acquisition, to embedded derivatives in contracts acquired in a combination between entities
or businesses under common control or the formation of a joint venture.
SEC Form 17A 2010
63
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation
This Interpretation states that, in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, qualifying
hedging instruments may be held by any entity or entities within the group, including the
foreign operation itself, as long as the designation, documentation and effectiveness
requirements of PAS 39 that relate to a net investment hedge are satisfied.
Future Changes in Accounting Policies
The Globe Group will adopt the following new and amended standards and interpretations
enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Globe
Group does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine
Interpretations to have significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Effective 2011
• Amendment to PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures
This Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
It clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships
and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial
exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities. Early adoption is
permitted for either the partial exemption for government-related entities or for the entire
standard.
•
Amendment to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of Rights Issues
This Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010.
It amended the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and certain
options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro rata to all
of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non-derivative equity instruments, or to
acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any
currency.
•
Amendments to Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding
Requirement
This Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with
retrospective application. It provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount of a net
pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a minimum
funding requirement as an asset.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
This Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010.
It clarified that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability qualify
as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair value. In case
that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments are measured at the fair value of the
liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Improvements to PFRSs
The omnibus amendments to PFRSs issued in May 2010 were issued primarily with a view to
removing inconsistencies and clarifying wordings. There are separate transitional provisions for
each standard and will become effective January 1, 2011. Except otherwise stated, the Globe
Group does not expect the adoption of these new standards to have significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
•
PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Revised)
This Amendment clarifies that the Amendments to PFRS 7, Financial Instruments:
Disclosures, PAS 32 and PAS 39 that eliminate the exemption for contingent consideration,
do not apply to contingent consideration that arose from business combinations whose
acquisition dates precede the application of PFRS 3 (as revised in 2008).
It also limits the scope of the measurement choices that only the components of NCI that are
present ownership interests that entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s
net assets, in the event of liquidation, shall be measured either: at fair value or at the present
ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Other
SEC Form 17A 2010
64
components of NCI are measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another
measurement basis is required by another PFRS.
The Amendment also requires an entity (in a business combination) to account for the
replacement of the acquiree’s share-based payment transactions (whether obliged or
voluntarily), i.e., split between consideration and post combination expenses. However, if the
entity replaces the acquiree’s awards that expire as a consequence of the business
combination, these are recognized as post-combination expenses. It further specifies the
accounting for share-based payment transactions that the acquirer does not exchange for its
own awards: if vested - they are part of NCI and measured at their marked-based measure; if
unvested - they are measured at market-based value as if granted at acquisition date, and
allocated between NCI and post-combination expense.
•
PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
This Amendment emphasizes the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures
and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments.
The amendments to quantitative and credit risk disclosures are as follows:
a) Clarify that only financial assets whose carrying amount does not reflect the maximum
exposure to credit risk need to provide further disclosure of the amount that represents the
maximum exposure to such risk.
b) Requires, for all financial assets, disclosure of the financial effect of collateral held as security
and other credit enhancements regarding the amount that best represents the maximum
exposure to credit risk (e.g., a description of the extent to which collateral mitigates credit
risk).
c) Remove disclosure of the collateral held as security, other credit enhancements and an
estimate of their fair value for financial assets that are past due but not impaired, and financial
assets that are individually determined to be impaired.
d) Remove the requirement to specifically disclose financial assets renegotiated to avoid
becoming past due or impaired.
e) Clarify that the additional disclosure required for financial assets obtained by taking
possession of collateral or other credit enhancements are only applicable to assets still held
at the reporting date.
•
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
This Amendment clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive
income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the
notes to the financial statements.
•
PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
This Amendment clarifies that the consequential amendments from PAS 27 made to
PAS 21, The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, PAS 28, Investments in
Associates and PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, apply prospectively for annual periods
beginning on or after July 1, 2009 or earlier when PAS 27 is applied earlier.
•
PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting
This Amendment provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in PAS 34
and add disclosure requirements around:
a) The circumstances likely to affect fair values of financial instruments and their
classification;
b) Transfers of financial instruments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy;
c) Changes in classification of financial assets;
d) Changes in contingent liabilities and assets.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes
This Amendment clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the
value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives
otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken
into account.
SEC Form 17A 2010
65
Effective 2012
• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for the Construction of Real Estate
This Interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that
undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors which should be
applied retroactively and prospectively. It requires that revenue on construction of real estate
be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as construction
contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves rendering of
services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion. Contracts
involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks and reward
of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis will also be accounted for
based on stage of completion.
•
PAS 12, Income Taxes, Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
The Amendment to PAS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2012. It provides a practical solution to the problem of assessing whether recovery
of an asset will be through use or sale. It introduces a presumption that recovery of the
carrying amount of an asset will, normally, be through sale.
•
PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments) – Disclosures–Transfers of
Financial Assets
The Amendments to PFRS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after
July 1, 2011. It will allow users of financial statements to improve their understanding of
transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitizations), including understanding
the possible effects of any risks that may remain with the entity that transferred the assets. It
also requires additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are
undertaken around the end of a reporting period.
Effective 2013
• PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
The Standard, as issued in 2010, reflects the first phase of the work on the replacement of
PAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial
liabilities as defined in PAS 39. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January
1, 2013. In subsequent phases, hedge accounting and derecognition will be addressed. The
completion of this project is expected in early 2011. The adoption of the first phase of this
Standard will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Globe Group’s
financial assets. The Globe Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases,
when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.
2. Causes of any material change from period to period: 2010 vs. 2009

•
Consolidated service revenues for 2009 was at P62.4 billion from P62.9 billion in 2008.
Mobile revenues were down 4% due to intense competition and increasing preference of
subscribers for value offers on the back of weak consumer economy. This was partially offset
by a 74% improvement in broadband revenues driven by robust subscriber growth, and a
23% growth in fixed line data revenues for the corporate and enterprise sectors. Mobile
revenues accounted for 85% of total service revenues, down from 88% in 2008. Meanwhile
fixed line and broadband increased its share of consolidated revenues from 12% to 15% in
2009.
•
Operating expenses and subsidy increased by 2% year on year to P26.0 billion from P25.5
billion in 2008 driven by higher subsidies, rent, and services partially offset by lower
marketing costs and provisions. Network-related charges such as rent, electricity and fuel
charges were higher compared to last year as a result of expanded 2G, 3G and broadband
networks. Higher services costs were due to increases in costs for outsourced customer
service and logistics functions. Marketing effectiveness ratio improved however with total
marketing and subsidy expenses at 8% of service revenues compared to prior year’s 9%.
•
Consolidated EBITDA and EBIT posted declines of 3% and 6% year on year on the back of
softer revenues coupled with higher operating expenses. EBITDA and EBIT margins for 2009
were at 58% and 31%, respectively, from 59% and 32% in 2008 given the growing
contribution of the lower-margin fixed line business to consolidated results. On a per-segment
basis, mobile EBITDA margins remained healthy at 65% of service revenues, while
broadband and fixed line margins improved to 22% from 17% last year.
•
The Company closed the year with net income after tax of P12.6 billion, 11% higher than
2008. Excluding foreign exchange, and mark-to-market gains and losses and non-recurring
SEC Form 17A 2010
69
items, the Company’s core net income closed at P12.0 billion or 2% higher than the previous
year.
•
Capital expenditures amounted to P24.7 billion for the year, a 21% increase from last year’s
P20.4 billion. This included carry-over spend related to the Company’s participation in the
TGN-IA international cable system, FOBN2 or Globe’s second fiber optic backbone network,
domestic transmission loops, as well as the expansion and upgrades of the Company’s
broadband and mobile networks. As of end 2009, Globe increased its base stations by 22%
to 10,333 and cellsites by 7% to 6,226 to support its 2G, 3G and WiMAX services.
Geographical coverage stood at 97% while population coverage was at 99%. Total capex as
a percentage of service revenues registered at 40% compared to last year’s 32%. Excluding
the one-time investments, mobile capex as a percentage of mobile revenues was at 13%,
within regional benchmarks for similarly mature markets.
•
For 2010, the Company is allocating about US$500 million in capital expenditures. This
includes US$170 million for the mobile telephony business, and another US$230 million for
the broadband business to augment existing capacities and expand the coverage and
footprint of the Company’s DSL, WiMax, and 3G broadband services. The 2010 capex plan
also includes about US$50 million for Globe’s fixed line data networks which primarily caters
to the corporate and enterprise sector. Finally, the investment plan also includes about
US$50 million in additional one-time investments. This includes costs related to Globe’s
participation in the new Southeast Asia Japan Cable (SJC) System which will link Singapore,
Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines and Japan, and which will further increase the capacity
and boost the resiliency of Globe’s international network. The SJC system is expected to be
operational by 2012.
•
Regular and special cash dividends paid out in 2009 amounted to P15.1 billion. Total
dividend payout of P114 per share translates to a dividend yield of 14% based on beginning
of year share prices. Total shareholder return for 2009 was at 30%. Return on equity was at
26%, up from 2008 level of 21% given the higher net profits and as a result of the Company’s
capital management efforts.

Mobile data service revenues consist of revenues from value-added services such as inbound and outbound SMS
and MMS, content downloading and infotext, subscription fees on unlimited and bucket prepaid SMS services net
of any interconnection or settlement payouts to international and local carriers and content providers.
Mobile Voice
For 2009, Globe’s mobile voice service revenues accounted for 50% of total mobile service
revenues compared to 49% in 2008. Mobile voice revenues of P26.5 billion were 2% lower
compared to 2008 as the growth in bulk and unlimited voice subscriptions were unable to fully
offset the lower regular and IDD voice usage.
During the year, Globe and TM sustained their bulk and unlimited voice offerings such as
Tawag236 for a 20-minute call for P20, Globe’s P10 for a 3-minute call, and TM’s TodoTawag
P15 for a 15-minute call. Globe also sustained its per-second charging promo which allows
subscribers to make on-net voice calls for only P0.10 per second.
To further drive adoption and encourage usage, Globe launched its “Walang Metro” campaign
which includes a slew of unlimited product offers to provide subscribers more value services to
suit their budget and needs. Globe launched the revolutionary DUO and SUPERDUO service, a
two-in-one mobile and landline service, which enables subscribers to make unlimited landline-tolandline and mobile-to-mobile calls to any Globe and TM subscriber for only P499 per month for
postpaid, and P35/day or P599/month for prepaid subscribers. In addition, Globe introduced
SUPER UNLI which allows 24x7 unlimited call and text to any Globe/TM subscriber nationwide
for only P150 for 5 days for both postpaid and prepaid subscribers. UNLIcall is also available in
selected areas, providing subscribers with unlimited intra-network voice service for only P30/day
or P100/5 days. Following the launch of its youth-oriented prepaid brand Globe Tattoo, the
Company also introduced IMMORTALCALL+ - a unique bucket call and text service which
includes a 5 minute call and 50 intra-network SMS with no expiry for only P15.
Mobile Data
Globe’s mobile data business contributed 50% to total mobile net service revenues. Service
revenues for the year totaled to P26,824 million compared to P28,465 million in 2008. While
revenues from bucket, unlimited SMS subscriptions, and mobile browsing improved year on year,
lower regular SMS and core value-added services usage declined, resulting in mobile data
revenues that were 6% lower compared to 2008.
SEC Form 17A 2010

To cater to the growing preference for bucket and unlimited SMS offers, Globe sustained its
popular offerings such as Sulitxt, Everybodytxt, Astigtxt, UnliTxt, UnliTxt Dayshift and Nightshift
and TodoText promotions. In addition, the Company introduced pioneering offerings such as
ImmortalTxt, the first and only SMS offer in the industry with no expiry period. Globe also
introduced Immortal Load – a prepaid load option with no expiry which can be used for voice,
SMS or mobile browsing. The SMS allocations and prepaid load will not expire as long as the
subscriber maintains at least P1 in his prepaid wallet.
To keep up with the needs of the growing youth segment, Globe introduced UnliChat+ which
provides subscribers with unlimited intra-SMS and unlimited chat via Yahoo Messenger (YM). In
addition, subscribers can enjoy unlimited intra-SMS, a 15-minute call and 10 off-net SMS with
Globe’s UnliTxt Trio.
To further encourage mobile browsing usage, Globe introduced mobile internet add-on plans to
provide postpaid subscribers access to the internet using their Blackberry (starting at Plan700) or
using regular handsets in tiered and affordable plans (starting at Plan149). Subscribers can also
enjoy unlimited surfing through Super Surf which is an unlimited browsing add-on plan for an
additional fee of P1,200 per month, P220 for 5 days or P50 per day for postpaid subscribers. For
prepaid users, subscribers can choose to do unlimited browsing with Surf All Day for only P20 per
day per site (including popular sites such as Facebook, Wikipedia, Plurk, Friendster, Twitter).
Globe also launched entry-level iPhone plans starting at Plan399 following the launch of the new
iPhone 3GS.

* Prior period figures have been restated to reflect adjustments for mobile broadband and hybrid postpaid plans.
Globe ended the year with a cumulative mobile subscriber base of 23.2 million, 6% lower than
last year’s 24.6 million SIMs. The Company recalibrated its subscriber acquisition efforts
beginning in the second quarter to focus on better quality subscribers, while deliberately churning
out its marginal users. As a result, full year mobile gross additions were lower by 5% at 19.4
million SIMs from 20.5 million SIMs in 2008. Blended churn rates were also elevated at 7.2%
compared to 6.0% last year, resulting in a 1.4 million net reduction in Globe’s SIM base.
Subscriber growth resumed in the fourth quarter as Globe closed the period with net additions of
about 117,000 SIMs. Fourth quarter gross additions were up 30% compared to the prior quarter
SEC Form 17A 2010
73
while churn rates were lower, with the adjustments in the Company’s acquisition and subscriber
retention programs, and the continued clean-up of its SIM base.
The succeeding sections cover the key segments and brands of the mobile business – Globe
Postpaid, Globe Prepaid and TM.
Globe Postpaid
Globe’s postpaid segment comprised about 4% of its total subscriber base. Total postpaid gross
and net subscriber additions for the period were 224,354 and 55,673, respectively compared to
the 242,587 and 95,125 registered for the same period last year. Cumulative subscribers as of
end 2009 grew 7% to more than 851,000 on the back of higher subscriptions particularly from
hybrid plans.
Postpaid gross and net ARPUs of P1,822 and P1,283, were lower than last year’s P1,967 and
P1,394 on account of lower average voice usage offset by higher take up of SMS and mobile
browsing services.
Postpaid SAC increased 8% year on year to P5,382 from P4,968 due to increased handset
subsidies for new postpaid offers, as well as higher advertising and promotion charges.
Prepaid
Globe’s prepaid segment, which includes the Globe Prepaid and TM brands, comprised 96% of
its total subscriber base.
A prepaid subscriber is recognized upon the activation and use of a new SIM card. The
subscriber is provided with 60 days (first expiry) to utilize the preloaded SMS value. If the
subscriber does not reload prepaid credits within the first expiry period, the subscriber retains the
use of the mobile number but is only entitled to receive incoming voice calls and text messages
for another 120 days (second expiry). The second expiry is 120 days from the date of the first
expiry. However, if the subscriber does not reload prepaid credits within the second expiry period,
the account is permanently disconnected and considered part of churn. The first expiry periods of
reloads vary depending on the denominations, ranging from 3 days to 120 days after activation.
The first expiry is reset based on the longest expiry period among current and previous reloads.
Under this policy, subscribers are included in the subscriber count until churned.
In 2009, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) published Memorandum Circular
03-07-2009 which promulgates the extension of the validity periods of prepaid reloads effective
July 19, 2009. Under the new pronouncement, the first expiry periods now range from 3 days for
P10 or below to 120 days for reloads amounting to P300 and above. The second expiry remains
at 120 days from the date of the new first expiry periods.
The succeeding sections discuss the performance of the Globe Prepaid and TM brands in more
detail.
a. Globe Prepaid
Globe Prepaid currently accounts for 56% of the total mobile SIM base compared to 54% in 2008.
The brand posted a 2% decline in its SIM base and closed the year with 13.0 million SIMs from
13.3 million in 2008. Gross additions of 10.4 million were 5% higher compared to last year’s 9.9
million. However, higher churn resulting from intense market competition and deliberate churn out
of marginal subscribers resulted in net reductions of about 244,000 against last year’s net
additions of 1.2 million SIMs.
Gross and net ARPUs for Globe Prepaid declined by 14% and 13%, respectively, as revenues
continue to be impacted by intense competition, declining yields, and multi-SIM usage.
The Company re-launched Globe Tattoo as a convergent brand in 2009 to serve both the internet
and telephony needs of today’s digitally-attuned youth. With hip and new SIM card designs,
Globe Tattoo SIMs can be used for both mobile phone use, and through the Globe broadband

Tattoo USB stick for internet browsing using a laptop.
Following the recalibration of its acquisition drives to focus on better-quality subscribers, Globe
Prepaid SAC declined 8% year on year from P40 to P37. SAC continues to be recoverable within
a month’s net ARPU.
b. TM
Globe’s mass market brand TM ended the year with 9.3 million subscribers, 11% lower than last
year’s 10.6 million SIMs. TM registered gross additions of 8.8 million, down by 16% from last
year as the Company scaled back on some of its aggressive SIM pack promotions and
recalibrated its sales drives to focus on better quality subscribers. The Company also churned
out some of its marginal, lower-quality subscribers, resulting in a net reduction of 1.2 million SIMs
in TM’s subscriber base. TM subscribers now comprise 40% of Globe’s cumulative subscriber
base compared to 43% in 2008.
TM’s net ARPU for 2009 was 5% lower compared to prior year, but showed improvements
particularly during the last two quarters of the year. Total TM revenues also grew by 5% year on
year despite the 11% contraction in its SIM base. The “Republika ng TM” brand refresh
campaign, the distinct positioning of the brand, and the sustained efforts to drive usage through
affordable voice and text offerings all contributed to the continued top-line growth of the TM
brand.
TM’s SAC remained at P34 and remains recoverable within half a month’s net ARPU.
GCash
GCash continues to establish its presence in the mobile commerce industry. GCash’s initial thrust
towards money-transfers, purchase of goods and services from retail outlets, and sending and
receiving domestic and international remittances has spurred alliances in the field of mobile
commerce.
Today, GCash allows Globe and TM subscribers to pay or transact for the following using their
mobile phone:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
domestic and international remittances
utility bills
interest and amortization of loans
insurance premiums
donations to various institutions and organizations
sales commissions and payroll disbursements
school tuition fees
micro tax payments and business registration
electronic loads and pins
online purchases
airline tickets
In addition to the above transactions, GCash is also used as a wholesale payment facility. Net
registered GCash user base at the end of 2009 totaled 1.04 million.
To enable further linkages of GCash’s platform and mobile technology with microfinance
activities, Globe, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Ayala Corporation (AC) signed a
memorandum of agreement in 2008 to form a joint venture that would allow rural and low-income
customers’ access to financial products and services beyond remittances. Last October 2009, the
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) approved the sale and transfer by BPI of its shares of stock in
Pilipinas Savings Bank, Inc. (PSBI), formalizing the creation of the venture. Globe’s and BPI’s
ownership stakes in the company is at 40% each, while AC’s shareholding is at 20%. The
partners plan to transform PSBI (now called BPI GLOBE BANKO INC.) into the country’s first
mobile microfinance bank.

Includes DUO and SuperDUO subscribers; Prior period figures have been restated for comparability.
Cumulative fixed line voice subscribers grew 40% year on year driven mainly by higher
subscriptions to bundled voice and broadband plans, as well as the DUO and SUPERDUO
service. Despite the expansion in subscriber base, fixed line voice revenues declined by 9% from
last year given the higher proportion of bundled voice and data subscriptions compared to standalone, voice-only plans (please note that the monthly service fees for bundled services are
included in “Broadband”).
During the year, Globe launched the DUO service - an innovative product that combines a mobile
and wireless landline service into one handset. For an incremental monthly service fee of P399
on top of the regular MSF of postpaid plans, DUO subscribers are provided a landline number
linked to their current mobile number which they can use to make unlimited calls to any landline
within the same area code and to other DUO subscribers. Later in the year, Globe also
introduced SUPERDUO, an improvement over the original DUO service to include unlimited
mobile-to-mobile calls to any Globe and TM subscriber (refer to mobile section for more details).

The fixed line data segment continued to post strong revenue gains, ending the year with P3.0
billion in revenues, up 23% year on year. Growth has been fueled by the company’s expansion of
its network of high-speed data nodes, transmission links, and international bandwidth capacity to
serve the requirements of business and enterprise clients, including those in the offshoring and
outsourcing industries.

Globe’s broadband business sustained strong growth in both revenues and subscribers.
Broadband subscribers grew three-fold from 2008 to close the year with more than 715,000
subscribers, exceeding full year guidance of half a million subscribers. The business delivered
P3.3 billion in service revenues in 2009, up a robust 74% from prior year. The broadband
segment now comprises 5% of consolidated revenues compared to 3% last year.
A key contributor to the growth in the Company’s broadband business is its fully mobile
broadband service sold under the Globe Broadband Tattoo brand. The brand is targeted towards
the fast-growing youth segment, particularly those who require affordable, on-the-go broadband
connections. This mobile internet service is available in prepaid and postpaid variants with
download speeds of up to 2 Mbps. New postpaid Tattoo plans starting from Plan 799 up to Plan
1499 were launched which include free browsing hours with low per hour charges for usage in
excess of the monthly limit.
For the prepaid variant, Globe lowered entry costs for the service by reducing the price of its
Globe Broadband Tattoo prepaid kit from P2,500 to P895. The package comes with a USB
modem stick and free P200 prepaid credit so subscribers can immediately use the service. Tattoo
SIMs are also voice, SMS, international roaming and VAS capable. Reloads can be made
through the usual prepaid top-up channels including over-the-air reload facility through any of its
Globe AutoLoad Max retailers.
Globe’s primary fixed wireless broadband offering is based on the WiMax technology,
complementing the company’s existing 3G with HSDPA service which is used for mobile, on-thego broadband. Following its commercial launch in 2008, the Company’s WiMAX service is now
available in over 190 towns and cities nationwide. The service has gained good traction with
customer satisfaction ratings remaining high. Globe’s WiMax service is available in data-only
plans at 512kbps and 1mbps for P795 and P995 per month, respectively. WiMax bundled voice
and data plans are also offered at 512kbps and 1 mbps for P995 and P1,295 per month.
Wireless subscribers now account for 70% of cumulative broadband subscribers, up from 35% at
the end of 2008.

ILD minutes originating from and terminating to Globe and Innove networks.
Both Globe and Innove offer ILD voice services which cover international call services between
the Philippines to more than 200 destinations with over 500 roaming partners. Globe’s service
generates revenues from both inbound and outbound international call traffic with pricing based
on agreed international termination rates for inbound traffic revenues and NTC-approved ILD
rates for outbound traffic revenues.
On a consolidated basis, ILD voice revenues from the mobile and fixed line businesses
decreased by 4% to P
= 14,317 million compared to last year’s P
= 14,915 million following a 3%
decline in total ILD traffic. While outbound traffic grew 13% year on year, inbound traffic declined,
driving the net reduction in ILD minutes.
To grow its international service revenues, Globe sustained its popular TipIDD offers, as well as
OFW SIM packs. The Company also launched IDD Suki – the first and only IDD load (prepaid
credit) that can be purchased from AMAX retailers nationwide. The load is available in P20 and
P30 denominations and which can be used for calls to popular OFW destinations worldwide.
Globe also launched its “Worldwidest” campaign in the last quarter, highlighting the multitude of
international services available to its subscribers. This includes promotional call rates to popular
OFW destinations worldwide, low calling rates via its TipIDD card, and affordable IDD Suki load
credits that can be purchased from its extensive and nationwide AMAX retailer network.
To spur additional outbound IDD voice traffic during the holidays, Globe also announced a P5 per
minute calling rate to selected Bridge Mobile operators, using a specific dialing prefix. Globe also
extended its affordable iTxt rates to selected operators and lowered rates for international SMS to
P5, from P15.
Interconnection
Domestically, the Globe Group pays interconnection access charges to other carriers for calls
originating from its network terminating to other carriers’ networks, and hauling charges for calls
that pass through Globe’s network terminating in another network.
Internationally, the Globe Group also incurs payouts for outbound international calls which are
based on a negotiated price per minute, and collects termination fees from foreign carriers for
calls terminating in its network. The Globe Group also collects interconnection access charges
from local carriers whose calls and SMS terminate in Globe Group’s network.

GROUP OPERATING EXPENSES
In 2009, the Globe Group’s total costs and expenses, including depreciation, increased by 2%
year on year to P
= 43,369 million from P
= 42,524 million in 2008. This growth is mainly driven by
higher network-related expenses such as rent, repairs and maintenance as well as outsourced
services as the Company continues to expand and upgrade its mobile, broadband and corporate
data networks.

Subsidy and Marketing
Total subsidy and selling, advertising and promotions for 2009 declined 7% year on year to
P5,296 million from P5,687 million in 2008. Total subsidies increased by 28% year on year to
P1,530 million from P1,193 million last year. This is due to higher mobile postpaid subsidies
resulting from the launch of the iPhone 3GS and good take up of hybrid plans, as well as strong
demand for Globe Broadband Tattoo. On the other hand, selling, advertising and promotion were
lower by P728 million or 16% due to the recalibration of its mobile subscriber acquisition drives
and deferment of certain marketing programs originally planned for the fourth quarter of 2009
following the widespread damage and devastation caused by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng which
hit the country in late September and early October.
As a percentage of service revenues, total subsidy and selling, advertising and promotions was at
8% in 2009 compared to 9% in 2008.
Staff Costs
Staff costs, which accounted for 19% of total subsidy and operating expenses, decreased by 2%
year on year from P5,077 million to P4,981 million, mainly driven by lower headcount, pension
costs and other employee benefits. Total headcount decreased by 7% year on year to 5,451 from
5,850 as of end 2008 with increased outsourcing.
Rent
Rent expenses, which accounted for 13% of total subsidy and operating expenses, increased by
P586 million or 20% year on year due to charges from additional interconnection and
transmission facilities to support the Company’s growing broadband and fixed line data business.
SEC Form 17A 2010
80
Cell site leases also grew from last year with the expansion of Globe’s mobile, broadband and
other network facilities.
Provisions
This account includes provisions related to trade, non-trade and traffic receivables and inventory.
Overall, provisions posted a net decrease of 41% year on year or P512 million as a result of lower
receivable provisions resulting from the final settlement of previously provisioned traffic
receivables as well as the write-down of modems for CDMA service in 2008.
Services and Others
Services and Others, which accounted for 24% of total subsidy and operating expenses,
increased by 15% or P828 million from P5,407 million to P6,235 million, mainly on higher charges
related to various outsourced functions such as call centers, technical helpdesk, line installation
services, as well as other services related to the Company’s expanded mobile and broadband
network.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 2% year on year or P360 million to
P17,388 million from P17,028 million due to additional investments resulting from the continued
expansion of the Company’s broadband and mobile networks.

As of end 2009, the Globe Group’s non-operating charges posted a 56% year on year decrease
of P1,423 million to close at P1,101 million. This was partly due to a gain in the first quarter of
2009, reflected under “Others-net”, from an exchange transaction undertaken by Globe with one
of its equipment suppliers to convey and transfer ownership of existing telecommunications
equipment in exchange for a more advanced system. This resulted in an after-tax gain amounting
to P398 million, equivalent to the difference between the value of the new system and carrying
amount of the old equipment.
With the Philippine peso registering a 3% appreciation from January to December 2009
compared to last year’s 15% depreciation, the Company recorded foreign exchange gains of
P287 million during the current period in contrast to the foreign exchange losses of P759 million
booked last year. (See related discussion on derivative instruments and swap costs in the Foreign
Exchange and Interest Rate Exposure section).
Meanwhile, interest expense decreased by 7% from P2,256 million last year to P2,097 million
despite higher borrowings during the year mainly driven by the decline in average local and
foreign interest rates and higher capitalized interest during the period. Interest income also
decreased by 35% from P420 million to P272 million on lower short-term and held-to-maturity
investments coupled with the declining peso and US$ interest rates.
Consolidated basic earnings per common share were P94.59 and P84.75 while consolidated
diluted earnings per common share were P94.31 and P84.61 for the years 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Globe Group’s consolidated assets as of 2009 amounted to P
= 127,644 million compared to P
=
119,751 million in 2008.
Consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short term investments (including investments in assets
available for sale and held to maturity investments) was at P5,943 million at the end of period
compared to last year’s P
= 5,782 million. Gross debt to equity ratio reached 1.00:1 on a
consolidated basis and is well within the 2:1 debt to equity limit dictated by Globe’s debt
covenants. Meanwhile, net debt to equity ratio was at 0.87:1 as of the end of 2009 compared to
0.69:1 in 2008.
The financial tests under Globe’s loan agreements include compliance with the following ratios:
•
•
•
•
Total debt to equity not exceeding 2:1;
Total debt to EBITDA not exceeding 3:1;
Debt service coverage 2 exceeding 1.3 times; and
Secured debt ratio 3 not exceeding 0.2 times.
As of 31 December 2009, Globe is well within the ratios prescribed under its loan agreements.
1
Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash, cash equivalents and short term investments from total debt.
2
Debt service coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of EBITDA to required debt service, where debt service includes
subordinated debt but excludes shareholder loans.
3
Secured debt ratio is defined as the ratio of the total amount for the period of all present consolidated obligations
for payment, whether actual or contingent which are secured by Permitted Security Interest as defined in the loan
agreement to the total amount of consolidated debt. Globe has no secured debt as of 31 December 2009.

Consolidated capital expenditures include property and equipment, intangibles and capitalized borrowing costs
acquired as of report date regardless of whether payment has been made or not.
Consolidated capital expenditures for 2009 increased by 21% year on year to P
= 24,702 million
from last year’s P20,382 million as a result of higher investments in one-time international cable
facilities and domestic transmission systems, as well as sustained expenditures to upgrade the
Company’s mobile networks and expand the coverage and capacities of its broadband networks.
For 2010, the Company has earmarked about US$500 million in capital expenditures. This
includes US$170 million for the mobile telephony business, and another US$230 million for the
broadband business to augment existing capacities and expand the coverage and footprint of the
Company’s DSL, WiMax, and 3G broadband services. Globe is also allocating about US$50
million for its fixed line data networks which primarily caters to the corporate and enterprise sector
and another US$50 million in additional one-time investments. These one-time investments
include costs related to Globe’s participation in the new Southeast Asia Japan Cable (SJC)
System which is expected to be operational by 2012.
Consolidated net cash used in financing increased by 31% to P
= 8,334 million in 2009 due to
increased repayments and dividends offset by higher borrowings during the current year.
Consolidated total debt increased by 17% from P
= 40,588 million to P
= 47,477 million in 2009. Loan
repayments of Globe for the period amounted to P
= 13,822 million or a 75% increase compared to
the P
= 7,916 million paid in 2008.
Out of total debt of US$1,027 million, 14% are denominated in US$ out of which 2% have been
hedged to pesos. As a result, the amount of US$ debt swapped into pesos and pesodenominated debt accounts for approximately 86% of consolidated loans as of the end of 2009.

On 10 February 2009, Globe Telecom announced it had signed an Underwriting Agreement with
lead underwriters BPI Capital Corporation, BDO Capital Corporation, and First Metro Investment
Corporation for a P3 Billion Corporate Bond Issuance. RCBC Capital Corporation and Vicsal
Investment, Inc. have been engaged for the issuance as co-lead underwriter and Participating
Underwriter, respectively. On 13 February 2009, Globe received approval from the SEC to issue
up to P10 Billion in aggregate principal amount of debt securities, with an initial tranche offer of up
to P5 billion comprised of fixed rate bonds due 2012 and 2014. Following the strong investor
demand from the initial issue size of P3 billion, Globe issued the full principal amount of P5.0
billion on 25 February 2009 in 3-year and 5-year bonds. On 27 March 2009, Globe signed a
P1.0 billion Term Loan Facility with Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) as lender. Proceeds from
the bond issue and the LBP facility will be used to fund the Company’s capital expenditure
program.
On 28 April 2009, Globe signed a US$50 million loan agreement with Export Development
Canada (EDC) as lender of which proceeds will be used to fund capital expenditure purchases
from Nokia Siemens Networks.
On 31 July 2009, Globe signed a US$75 million loan agreement with Citibank N.A., Deutsche
Investitions und Entwicklungsgesellschaft, and Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij Voor
Ontwikkelingslanden. Proceeds will likewise be used to fund capital expenditures.
Stockholders’ equity for the current period was P47,709 million as of end of 2009 compared to the
P50,092 million registered in 2008.
As of 31 December 2009, Globe’s capital stock consists of:
Preferred Shares
Preferred stock Series “A” at a par value of P5 per share of which 158 million shares are
outstanding out of a total authorized of 250 million shares.
Preferred stock “Series A” has the following features:
a. Convertible to one common share after 10 years from issue date at a price which shall not
be less than the prevailing market price of the common stock less the par value of the
preferred shares;
b. Cumulative and non-participating;
c. Floating rate dividend;
d. Issued at par;
e. Voting rights;
f. Globe has the right to redeem the preferred shares at par plus accrued dividends at any
time after 5 years from date of issuance; and
g. Preferences as to dividend in the event of liquidation.
The dividends for preferred shares are declared upon the sole discretion of the Globe Telecom
Board of Directors.
SEC Form 17A 2010
85
Common Shares
Common shares at par value of P50 per share of which 132 million are issued and outstanding
out of a total authorized of 180 million shares.
Cash Dividends
The dividend policy of Globe Telecom as approved by the Board of Directors is to declare cash
dividends to its common stockholders on a regular basis as may be determined by the Board.
The dividend payout rate starting 2006 is approximately 75% of prior year’s net income payable
semi-annually in March and September of each year. This is reviewed annually, taking into
account Globe Telecom’s operating results, cash flows, debt covenants, capital expenditure
levels and liquidity.
On November 6, 2009, the Board of Directors amended the dividend payment rate from 75% to a
range of 75% - 90% and declared a special dividend of P
= 50.00 per common share based on
shareholders on record as of November 20, 2009 with the payment date of December 15, 2009.
On February 4, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the declaration of the first semi-annual
cash dividend of P
= 40.00 per common share, payable to shareholders on record as of February
19, 2010. Total dividends of P
= 5,293.84 million were paid on March 15, 2010.
Consolidated Return on Average Equity (ROE) registered at the 26% level in 2009 compared to
the 21% in 2008 using net income and based on average equity balances for the year ended.
SEC Form 17A 2010

Financial Risk Management
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
Foreign exchange risks are managed such that USD inflows from operations (transaction
exposures) are balanced or offset by the net USD liability position of the company (translation
exposures). Globe Group’s objective is to maintain a position which results in, as close as
possible, a neutral effect to the P&L relative to movements in the foreign exchange market.
Transaction exposures
Globe has natural net US$ inflows arising from its operations. Consolidated foreign currencylinked revenues1 were at 29% of total service revenues for the periods ended 31 December 2009
and 2008, respectively. In contrast, Globe’s foreign-currency linked expenses were 11% and 13%
out of total operating expenses for the same periods ended, respectively.
The US$ flows are as follows:
2009
US$ and US$ Linked Revenues
US$ Operating Expenses
US$ Net Interest Expense
P17.9 billion
P2.7billion
P0.17 billion
Due to these net US$ inflows, a depreciation of the Peso has a positive impact on Globe’s Peso
EBITDA. Globe occasionally enters into forward contracts to hedge against a peso appreciation.
No forward sales contracts were outstanding as of end December 2009.
Realized losses from forward contracts that matured in 2009 amounted to P42 million. Since
these forwards are economic hedges, there are matching underlying exposures that offset the
value of the forwards.
Translation Exposures
Globe also has US$ assets and liabilities which are revalued at market rates every period. These
are as follows:
US$ Assets
US$ Liabilities
Net US$ Liability Position
December 2009
US$96 million
US$303 million
US$207 million
For accounting purposes, the foreign currency assets and liabilities are revalued at the current
exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. Given the net US$ liability position, a
depreciation of the peso results in a revaluation or forex loss in its P&L. As of December 2009,
the Philippine Peso stood at P46.425 to the US dollar, a 3% appreciation versus the 2008 yearend rate of P47.655. Due to the strengthening of the Peso, the Globe Group charged a total of
P287 million in net foreign exchange gains to current operations for the year ended December
2009.
Prior to 2004, the company entered into long term currency swap agreements to hedge the
currency exposure on its liabilities. As of end-December 2009, the Company has only one such
remaining agreement, with a notional amount of US$2.5 million.
The Company also has US$20 million in forward US$ purchase contracts to cover US$
obligations, with maturities up to October 2010. The average rate of the forward contract is
P47.975. Lastly, Globe has US$20 million in forward US$ sales contracts to cover a portion of its
US$ assets. These contracts will mature in October 2010 at an average forward rate of P48.208.
The swap and forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes (please
refer to Notes 28.3 and 28.5 of the attached Notes to Financial Statements). As such, the MTM
of the contracts have flowed through the P&L, and future changes to the MTM of the contracts will
SEC Form 17A 2010
87
also be charged to P&L every period. The MTM of the outstanding contracts amounts to a loss of
P22 million as of end-December 2009.
INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE
Interest rate exposures are managed via targeted levels of fixed versus floating rate debt that are
meant to achieve a balance between cost and volatility. Globe’s policy is to maintain between 4488% of its peso debt in fixed rate, and between 31-62% of its US$ debt in fixed rate.
As of end December 2009, Globe has a total of US$61 million in interest rate swap contracts that
were entered into to achieve these targets (please refer to Notes 28.3 to 28.5 of the attached
Notes to the Financial Statements). US$56 million of the total interest rate swaps are US$ swaps
under which the Company effectively swapped some of its floating US$ denominated loans into
fixed rate, with semi-annual payment intervals up to April 2012. We also have US$5 million in
notional amount of US$ swaps under which the Company receives a fixed rate of 9.75% and pays
a floating rate based on LIBOR, subject to a cap. The payments on the swap are subject to the
performance of 10 and 30 year US$ interest rates.
As of end of December 2009, 45% of peso debt is fixed, while 34% of USD debt is fixed after
swaps.
The MTM of the interest rate swap contracts stood at a loss of P22 million as of end December.
CREDIT EXPOSURES FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Outstanding credit exposures from financial instruments are monitored daily and allowable
exposures are reviewed quarterly.
For investments, the Globe Group does not have investments in foreign securities (bonds,
collateralized debt obligations (CDO), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO), or any
instruments linked to the mortgage market in the US). Globe’s excess cash is invested in short
tem bank and SDA deposits.
The Globe Group also does not have any investments or hedging transactions with investment
banks. Derivative transactions as of end-December are with large, investment grade commercial
banks. Furthermore, the Globe Group does not have instruments in its portfolio which became
inactive in the market nor does the company have any structured notes which require use of
judgment for valuation purposes. (Please refer to Note 28.2.3 of attached Notes to the Financial
Statements for additional information on active and inactive markets)
VALUATION OF DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
The company uses valuation techniques that are commonly used by market participants and that
have been demonstrated to provide reliable estimates of prices obtained in actual market
transactions. The company uses readily observable market yield curves to discount future
receipts and payments on the transactions. The net present value of receipts and payments are
translated into Peso using the foreign exchange rate at time of valuation to arrive at the mark to
market value. For derivative instruments with optionality, the company relies on valuation reports
of its counterparty banks, which are the company’s best estimates of the close-out value of the
transactions.
Gains (losses) on derivative instruments represent the net mark-to-market (MTM) gains (losses)
on derivative instruments. As of 31 December 2009, the MTM value of the derivatives of the
Globe Group amounted to a loss of P56 million while loss on derivative instruments arising from
changes in MTM reflected in the consolidated income statements amounted to P65.41 million.
(Please refer to Note 22 and Note 28.4 of the attached Notes to Financial Statements for
gains/losses of preceding periods).
To measure riskiness, the company provides a sensitivity analysis of its profit and loss from
financial instruments resulting from movements in foreign exchange and interest rates. (Please
refer to attached Notes 28.2.1.1 and 28.2.1.2 of the Financial Statements for the sensitivity
SEC Form 17A 2010
88
analysis results.) The interest rate sensitivity estimates the changes to the following P&L items,
given an indicated movement in interest rates: (1) interest income, (2) interest expense, (3) mark
to market of derivative instruments. The foreign exchange sensitivity estimates the P&L impact of
a change in the USD/PHP rate as it specifically pertains to the revaluation of the net unhedged
liability position of the company, and foreign exchange derivatives.
Legal and Corporate Developments
On 23 July 2009, the NTC issued NTC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 05-07-2009 (Guidelines
On Unit Of Billing Of Mobile Voice Service). The MC provides that the maximum unit of billing for
the cellular mobile telephone service (CMTS) whether postpaid or prepaid shall be six (6)
seconds per pulse. The rate for the first two (2) pulses, or equivalent if lower period per pulse is
used, may be higher than the succeeding pulses to recover the cost of the call set-up.
Subscribers may still opt to be billed on a one (1) minute per pulse basis or to subscribe to
unlimited service offerings or any service offerings if they actively and knowingly enroll in the
scheme.
In compliance with NTC MC 05-07-2009, Globe refreshed and offered to the general public its
existing per-second rates that, it bears emphasizing, comply with the NTC Memorandum Circular.
Globe made per second charging for Globe-Globe/TM-TM/Globe available for Globe Subscribers
dialing prefix 232 (GLOBE) OR 803 plus 10-digit TM or Globe number for TM subscribers. The
NTC, however, contends that Globe’s offering does not comply with the circular and with the
NTC’s Order of December 7 which imposed a three-tiered rate structure with a mandated flagdown of Php 3.00, a rate of Php 0.4375 for the 13th to the 60th second of the first minute and Php
0.65 for every 6-second pulse thereafter. On December 9 the NTC issued a Cease and Desist
Order requiring the carriers to refrain from charging under the previous billing system or regime
and refund consumers. Globe maintains that the Order of the NTC of December 7, 2009 and the
Cease and Desist Order are void as being without basis in fact and law and in violation of Globe’s
rights to due process. Globe, Smart and Sun all filed petitions before the Court of Appeals
seeking the nullification of the questioned orders of the NTC. On 18 February 2010, the Court of
Appeals issued a Temporary Restraining Order preventing the NTC from enforcing the disputed
Order.
Globe believes that its legal position is strong and that its offering is compliant with the NTC’s
Memorandum Circular 05-07-2009, and therefore believes that it would not be obligated to make
a refund to its subscribers. If however, Globe would be held as not being in compliance with the
circular, Globe may be contingently liable to refund to any complaining subscribers any charges it
may have collected in excess of what it could have charged under the NTC’s disputed Order of
December 7, if indeed it is proven by any complaining party that Globe charged more with its per
second scheme than it could have under the NTC’s 6-second pulse billing scheme stated in the
disputed December 7 Order. Management has no estimate of what amount this could be at this
time.
On 22 May 2006, Innove received a copy of the Complaint of Subic Telecom Company
(“Subictel”), Inc., a subsidiary of PLDT, seeking an injunction to stop the Subic Bay Metropolitan
Authority and Innove from taking any actions to implement the Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity granted by SBMA to Innove. Subictel claimed that the grant of a CPCN allowing
Innove to offer certain telecommunications services within the Subic Bay Freeport Zone would
violate the Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”) between PLDT and SBMA. The Court of Appeals
ordered the reinstatement of the case and has forwarded it to the NTC-Olongapo for trial.
PLDT and its affiliate, Bonifacio Communications Corporation (BCC) and Innove and Globe are in
litigation over the right of Innove to render services and build telecommunications infrastructure in
the Bonifacio Global City. In the case filed by Innove before the NTC against BCC, PLDT and the
Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), the NTC has issued a Cease and Desist Order
preventing BCC from performing further acts to interfere with Innove’s installations in the
Bonifacio Global City.
In the case filed by PLDT against the NTC in Branch 96 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of
Quezon City, where PLDT sought to obtain an injunction to prevent the NTC from hearing the
case filed by Innove, the RTC denied the prayer for a preliminary injunction and the case has
SEC Form 17A 2010
89
been set for further hearings. PLDT has filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Globe has
intervened in this case.
In the case filed by BCC against FBDC, Globe Telecom and Innove, Bonifacio Communications
Corp. before the Regional Trial Court of Pasig, which case sought to enjoin Innove from making
any further installations in the BGC and claimed damages from all the parties for the breach of the
exclusivity of BCC in the area, the court did not issue a Temporary Restraining Order and has
instead scheduled several hearings on the case.
On 11 November 2008, Bonifacio Communications Corp. (BCC) filed a criminal complaint against
the officers of Innove Communications Inc., the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC)
and Innove contractor Avecs Corporation for malicious mischief and theft arising out of Innove’s
disconnection of BCC’s duct at the Net Square buildings. The accused officers filed their counteraffidavits and are currently pending before the Prosecutor’s Office of Pasig.

ANNEX TO THE 2009 MD&A SECTION
1. Events that will trigger direct or contingent financial obligations that are material to the
Company including any default or acceleration of an obligation:
Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except
for the adoption of the following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations of
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which became effective on
January 1, 2009. Except as otherwise indicated, the adoption of the new and amended
Standards and Interpretations did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
•
Amendments to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
In accordance with the Amendments to PAS 1, the statement of changes in equity shall
include only transactions with owners, while all non-owner changes will be presented in equity
as a single line with details included in a separate statement. Owners are defined as holders
of instruments classified as equity.
In addition, the Amendments to PAS 1 provide for the introduction of a new statement of
comprehensive income that combines all items of income and expenses recognized in the
profit or loss together with “Other comprehensive income”. Entities may choose to present all
items in one statement, or to present two linked statements, a separate statement of income
and a statement of comprehensive income. These Amendments also require enhancements
in the presentation of the consolidated statements of financial position and owner’s equity as
well as additional disclosures to be included in the financial statements. Adoption of these
Amendments resulted in the following: (a) change in the title from consolidated balance sheet
to consolidated statements of financial position; (b) change in the presentation of changes in
equity and of comprehensive income, i.e., non-owner changes in equity are now presented in
one consolidated statement of comprehensive income; and (c) additional disclosures in the
notes to the consolidated financial statements relating to the movement in and income tax
effects of other reserves (see Note 17 of the 2009 Financial Statements).
•
Amendment to PAS 23, Borrowing Costs
This Amendment requires the capitalization of borrowing costs when such costs relate to a
qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Accordingly, borrowing costs are capitalized on
qualifying assets with a commencement date after January 1, 2009. No changes will be
made for borrowing costs incurred to this date that have been expensed.
•
PFRS 8, Operating Segments
It replaces PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and adopts a full management approach to
identifying, measuring and disclosing the results of an entity’s operating segments. The
information reported would be that which management uses internally for evaluating the
performance of operating segments and allocating resources to those segments. Such
information may be different from that reported in the consolidated statements of financial
position and consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the Globe Group will
provide explanations and reconciliations of the differences. This Standard is only applicable
to an entity that has debt or equity instruments that are traded in a public market or that files
(or is in the process of filing) its financial statements with a securities commission or similar
party. The Globe Group has enhanced its current manner of reporting segment information to
include additional information used by management internally (see Note 29 of the 2009
Financial Statements). Segment information for prior years was restated to include the
additional information.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation
This Interpretation provides guidance on identifying foreign currency risks that qualify for
hedge accounting in the hedge of net investment; where within the group the hedging
instrument can be held as a hedge of a net investment; and how an entity should determine
the amount of foreign currency gains or losses, relating to both the net investment and the
hedging instrument, to be recycled on disposal of the net investment.

PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards - Cost of an
Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate
The amended PFRS 1 allows an entity to determine the ‘cost’ of investments in subsidiaries,
jointly controlled entities or associates in its opening PFRS financial statements in
accordance with PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, or using a
deemed cost method. The amendment to PAS 27 required all dividends from a subsidiary,
jointly controlled entity or associate to be recognized in the statements of comprehensive
income in the separate financial statement.
•
PFRS 2, Share-based Payment - Vesting Condition and Cancellations
This Standard has been revised to clarify the definition of a vesting condition and prescribes
the treatment for an award that is effectively cancelled. It defines a vesting condition as a
condition that includes an explicit or implicit requirement to provide services. It further
requires non-vesting conditions to be treated in a similar fashion to market conditions. Failure
to satisfy a non-vesting condition that is within the control of either the entity or the
counterparty is accounted for as cancellation. However, failure to satisfy a non-vesting
condition that is beyond the control of either party does not give rise to a cancellation.
•
Amendments to PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Improving Disclosures about
Financial Instruments
The amendments to PFRS 7 introduce enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement
and liquidity risk. The amendments to PFRS 7 require fair value measurements for each
class of financial instruments to be disclosed by the source of inputs, using the following
three-level hierarchy: (a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1); (b) inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2);
and (c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs) (Level 3). The level within which the fair value measurement is
categorized must be based on the lowest level of input to the instrument’s valuation that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Additional disclosures required in the amendments to PFRS 7 are shown in Note 28 - Capital
and Risk Management and Financial Instruments of the attached 2009 Financial Statements.
The amendments to PFRS 7 also introduce two major changes in liquidity risk disclosures as
follows: (a) exclusion of derivative liabilities from maturity analysis unless the contractual
maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows and (b) inclusion
of financial guarantee contracts in the contractual maturity analysis based on the maximum
amount guaranteed.
•
Amendments to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, and PAS 1, Presentation of
Financial Statements - Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation
These Amendments specify, among others, that puttable financial instruments will be
classified as equity if they have all of the following specified features: (a) the instrument
entitles the holder to require the entity to repurchase or redeem the instrument (either on an
ongoing basis or on liquidation) for a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets; (b) the
instrument is in the most subordinate class of instruments, with no priority over other claims to
the assets of the entity on liquidation; (c) all instruments in the subordinate class have
identical features; (d) the instrument does not include any contractual obligation to pay cash
or financial assets other than the holder’s right to a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets;
and (e) the total expected cash flows attributable to the instrument over its life are based
substantially on the profit or loss, a change in recognized net assets, or a change in the fair
value of the recognized and unrecognized net assets of the entity over the life of the
instrument.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-9 and PAS 39 Amendments - Embedded Derivatives
This Amendment to Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-9, Reassessment of Embedded
Derivatives, requires an entity to assess whether an embedded derivative must be separated
from a host contract when the entity reclassifies a hybrid financial asset out of the fair value
through profit or loss category. This assessment is to be made based on circumstances that
existed on the later of the date the entity first became a party to the contract and the date of
any contract amendments that significantly change the cash flows of the contract. PAS 39,
SEC Form 17A 2010
92
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, now states that if an embedded
derivative cannot be reliably measured, the entire hybrid instrument must remain classified as
at fair value through profit or loss.
Improvements to PFRS
In May 2008 and April 2009, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued
omnibus amendments to certain standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and
clarifying wordings. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption
of these amended standards did not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Globe Group, unless otherwise indicated.
•
PAS 18, Revenue
The Amendment adds guidance (which accompanies the Standard) to determine whether an
entity is acting as a principal or as an agent. The features to consider are whether the entity
(a) has primary responsibility for providing the goods or service; (b) has inventory risk; (c) has
discretion in establishing prices; and (d) bears the credit risk. The Group assessed its
revenue arrangements against these criteria and concluded that it is acting as principal in
some arrangements and as an agent in other arrangements.
•
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
Assets and liabilities classified as held for trading are not automatically classified as current in
the consolidated statements of financial position.
•
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment
The Amendment replaces the term ‘net selling price’ with ‘fair value less costs to sell’, to be
consistent with PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, and
PAS 36, Impairment of Asset.
In addition, items of property, plant and equipment held for rental that are routinely sold in the
ordinary course of business after rental, are transferred to inventory when rental ceases and
they are held for sale. Proceeds of such sales are subsequently shown as revenue. Cash
payments on initial recognition of such items, the cash receipts from rents and subsequent
sales are all shown as cash flows from operating activities.
•
PAS 19, Employee Benefits
It revises the definition of: (a) “past service costs” to include reductions in benefits related to
past services (“negative past service costs”) and to exclude reductions in benefits related to
future services that arise from plan amendments. Amendments to plans that result in a
reduction in benefits related to future services are accounted for as a curtailment, (b) “return
on plan assets” to exclude plan administration costs if they have already been included in the
actuarial assumptions used to measure the defined benefit obligation, and (c) “short-term”
and “other long-term” employee benefits to focus on the point in time at which the liability is
due to be settled. Also, it deletes the reference to the recognition of contingent liabilities to
ensure consistency with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
•
PAS 23, Borrowing Costs
This revises the definition of borrowing costs to consolidate the types of items that are
considered components of ‘borrowing costs’, i.e., components of the interest expense
calculated using the effective interest rate method.
•
PAS 28, Investment in Associates
If an associate is accounted for at fair value in accordance with PAS 39, only the requirement
of PAS 28 to disclose the nature and extent of any significant restrictions on the ability of the
associate to transfer funds to the entity in the form of cash or repayment of loans applies.
Also, an investment in an associate is a single asset for the purpose of conducting the
impairment test. Therefore, there is no separate allocation to the goodwill included in the
investment balance.
•
PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures
SEC Form 17A 2010
93
If a joint venture is accounted for at fair value in accordance with PAS 39, only the
requirements of PAS 31 to disclose the commitments of the venturer and the joint venture, as
well as summary of financial information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses
will apply.
•
PAS 36, Impairment of Assets
When discounted cash flows are used to estimate “fair value less cost to sell” additional
disclosure is required about the discount rate, consistent with disclosures required when the
discounted cash flows are used to estimate “value in use”.
•
PAS 38, Intangible Assets
Expenditure on advertising and promotional activities is recognized as an expense when the
Group either has the right to access the goods or has received the services.
•
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
Improvements to PAS 39 are: (a) changes in circumstances relating to derivatives specifically derivatives designated or de-designated as hedging instruments after initial
recognition - are not reclassifications; (b) when financial assets are reclassified as a result of
an insurance company changing its accounting policy in accordance with paragraph 45 of
PFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, this is a change in circumstance, not a reclassification; (c)
removes the reference to a “segment” when determining whether an instrument qualifies as a
hedge; and (d) requires use of the revised effective interest rate (rather than the original
effective interest rate) when re-measuring a debt instrument on the cessation of fair value
hedge accounting.
•
PAS 40, Investment Properties
It revises the scope (and the scope of PAS 16) to include property that is being constructed or
developed for future use as an investment property. Where an entity is unable to determine
the fair value of an investment property under construction, but expects to be able to
determine its fair value on completion, the investment under construction will be measured at
cost until such time as fair value can be determined or construction is complete.
Future Changes in Accounting Policies
The Globe Group will adopt the following standards and interpretations enumerated below when
these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Globe Group does not expect the
adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations to have significant
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
•
Revised PFRS 3, Business Combinations and PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements
The revised standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The
revised PFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations
that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an
acquisition occurs, and future reported results. The revised PAS 27 requires, among others,
that (a) change in ownership interests of a subsidiary (that do not result in loss of control) will
be accounted for as an equity transaction and will have no impact on goodwill nor will it give
rise to a gain or loss; (b) losses incurred by the subsidiary will be allocated between the
controlling and non-controlling interests (previously referred to as ‘minority interests’), even if
the losses exceed the non-controlling equity investment in the subsidiary; and (c) on loss of
control of a subsidiary, any retained interest will be remeasured to fair value and this will
impact the gain or loss recognized on disposal.
The changes introduced by the revised PFRS 3 must be applied prospectively, while changes
introduced by the revised PAS 27 must be applied retrospectively with a few exceptions. The
changes will affect future acquisitions and transactions with non-controlling interests.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for Construction of Real Estate
This Interpretation, which will be effective January 1, 2012, covers accounting for revenue
and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or
through subcontractors. This Interpretation requires that revenue on construction of real
estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as
SEC Form 17A 2010
94
construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves
rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion.
Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks
and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis, will also be
accounted for based on stage of completion. This Interpretation will not be applicable to the
Globe Group.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners
This Interpretation provides guidance on non-reciprocal distribution of assets by an entity to
its owners acting in their capacity as owners, including distributions of non-cash assets and
those giving the shareholders a choice of receiving non-cash assets or cash, provided that:
(a) all owners of the same class of equity instruments are treated equally; and (b) the noncash assets distributed are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before
and after the distribution, and as such, excluding transactions under common control. This
Interpretation is applied prospectively and is applicable for annual periods beginning on or
after July 1, 2009 with early application permitted.
•
Amendment to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement Eligible
Hedged Items
This Amendment, which will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after
July 1, 2009, addresses only the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, and the
designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. The Amendment
clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash
flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item. The Globe Group will assess the
impact of this Amendment on its current manner of accounting for hedged items.
•
Amendments to PFRS 2, Share-based Payment: Group Cash-settled Transactions
The IASB amended the IFRS 2 to clarify its scope and the accounting for group cash-settled
share-based payment transactions in the separate or individual financial statement of the
entity receiving the goods or services when that entity has no obligation to settle the sharebased payment transaction. This Amendment is effective January 1, 2010. It supersedes
IFRIC 8, Scope of IFRS 2 and IFRIC 11, IFRIC 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 18, Transfer of Assets from Customers
This Interpretation is to be applied prospectively to transfers of assets from customers
received on or after July 1, 2009. The Interpretation provides guidance on how to account for
items of property, plant and equipment received from customers or cash that is received and
used to acquire or construct assets that are used to connect the customer to a network or to
provide ongoing access to a supply of goods or services or both. When the transferred item
meets the definition of an asset, the asset is measured at fair value on initial recognition as
part of an exchange transaction. The service(s) delivered are identified and the consideration
received (the fair value of the asset) allocated to each identifiable service. Revenue is
recognized as each service is delivered by the entity.
Improvements to PFRS
The omnibus amendments to PFRSs issued in 2009 were issued primarily with a view to
removing inconsistencies and clarifying wordings. There are separate transitional provisions for
each standard and will become effective January 1, 2010. Except otherwise stated, the Globe
Group does not except the adoption of these new standards to have significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
•
PFRS 2, Share-based Payment
This Amendment clarifies that the contribution of a business on formation of a joint venture
and combinations under common control are not within the scope of PFRS 2 even though
they are out of scope of PFRS 3. The amendment is effective for financial years on or after
July 1, 2009.
•
PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
This Amendment clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and
disposal groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out in
SEC Form 17A 2010
95
PFRS 5. The disclosure requirements of other PFRSs only apply if specifically required for
such non-current assets or discontinued operations.
•
PFRS 8, Operating Segments
The Amendment clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need only be reported when
those assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the chief operating
decision maker.
•
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
The Amendment clarifies that the terms of a liability that could result, at anytime, in its
settlement by the issuance of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty do not
affect its classification.
•
PAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows
This Amendment explicitly states that only expenditure that results in a recognized asset can
be classified as a cash flow from investing activities.
•
PAS 17, Leases
Removes the specific guidance on classifying land as a lease. Prior to the amendment,
leases of land were classified as operating leases. The Amendment now requires that leases
of land are classified as either ‘finance’ or ‘operating’ in accordance with the general
principles of PAS 17. The amendments will be applied retrospectively.
•
PAS 36, Impairment of Assets
This Amendment clarifies that the largest unit permitted for allocating goodwill, acquired in a
business combination, is the operating segment as defined in PFRS 8 before aggregation for
reporting purposes.
•
PAS 38, Intangible Assets
This Amendment clarifies that if an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is
identifiable only with another intangible asset, the acquirer may recognize the group of
intangible assets as a single asset provided the individual assets have similar useful lives.
Also clarifies that the valuation techniques presented for determining the fair value of
intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are not traded in active markets are
only examples and are not restrictive on the methods that can be used.
•
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
This Amendment clarifies the following: 1) that a prepayment option is considered closely
related to the host contract when the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the
lender up to the approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the host
contract; 2) that the scope exemption for contracts between an acquirer and a vendor in a
business combination to buy or sell an acquiree at a future date applies only to binding
forward contracts, and not derivative contracts where further actions by either party are still to
be taken and 3) that gains or losses on cash flow hedges of a forecast transaction that
subsequently results in the recognition of a financial instrument or on cash flow hedges of
recognized financial instruments should be reclassified in the period that the hedged forecast
cash flows affect profit or loss.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
This Interpretation clarifies that it does not apply to possible reassessment, at the date of
acquisition, to embedded derivatives in contracts acquired in a combination between entities
or businesses under common control or the formation of a joint venture.
•
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation
This Interpretation states that, in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, qualifying
hedging instruments may be held by any entity or entities within the group, including the
foreign operation itself, as long as the designation, documentation and effectiveness
requirements of PAS 39 that relate to a net investment hedge are satisfied.

managers. The EGG Group’s retirement fund is being managed separately and the amount of
defined benefit obligation is immaterial.
As of December 31, 2010, the pension plan assets of the Globe Group include shares of stock of
Globe Telecom with total fair value of P
= 14.79 million, and shares of stock of other related parties
with total fair value of P
= 52.90 million.

benefits are to be paid.
The overall expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the market prices
prevailing on that date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled.

PART IV – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We strive to adhere to the highest standards of ethics and governance in all that we do. Globe
recognizes the importance of good governance in realizing its vision, carrying out its mission, and
living out its values to create and sustain increased value for all its stakeholders. The impact of
global conditions and challenges further underscores the need to uphold the Company’s high
standards of corporate governance to strengthen its structures and processes.
Corporate Governance Policies
As strong advocates of accountability, transparency and integrity in all aspects of the business,
the Board of Directors (“Board”), management, officers, and employees of Globe commit
themselves to the principles and best practices of governance in the attainment of its corporate
goals.
The basic mechanisms for corporate governance are principally contained in the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. These documents lay down, among others, the basic
structure of governance, minimum qualifications of directors, and the principal duties of the Board
and officers of the Company.
The Company’s Manual of Corporate Governance supplements and complements the Articles
of Incorporation and By-Laws by setting forth the principles of good and transparent governance.
In 2009, the Company commissioned a review of the manual to update and improve it. This
review was completed in February 2010 and new provisions have been incorporated in the
manual to conform with SEC Circular Memorandum Order 6 Series of 2009 Revised Code of
Corporate Governance. The Board Committee Charters were also revisited to align with the
company’s Manual of Corporate Governance.
The Company has likewise adopted a Code of Conduct, Conflict of Interest, and a
Whistleblower Policy, and has existing formal policies concerning Unethical, Corrupt and
Other Prohibited Practices covering both its employees and the members of the Board. These
policies serve as guide to matters involving work performance, dealings with employees,
customers and suppliers, handling of assets, records and information, avoidance of conflict of
interest situations and corrupt practices, as well as the reporting and handling of complaints from
whistleblowers, including reports of fraudulent reporting practices.
Moreover, the Company adopted an expanded corporate governance approach in managing
business risks. A Revised Enterprise Risk Management Policy was developed to provide a
better understanding of the different risks that could threaten the achievement of the Company’s
vision, mission, strategies and goals. The policy also highlights the vital role that each individual
plays in the organization – from the Senior Executive Group (SEG) to the staff – in managing
risks and in ensuring that the Company’s business objectives are attained.
New initiatives are regularly pursued to develop and adopt corporate governance best practices,
and to build the right corporate culture across the organization. In 2010, Globe participated in
various activities of the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD), Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE)
and the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to improve corporate governance
practices and refine the corporate governance self-rating system and scorecard used by publicly
listed companies to assure good corporate governance.
The following sections summarize the key corporate governance structures, processes and
practices adopted by Globe.
SEC Form 17A 2010
117
Board of Directors
Key Roles
The Board of Directors is the supreme authority in matters of governance. The Board establishes
the vision, mission, and strategic direction of the Company, monitors over-all corporate
performance, and protects the long-term interests of the various stakeholders by ensuring
transparency, accountability, and fairness. The Board has oversight responsibility for risk
management function while ensuring the adequacy of internal control mechanisms, reliability of
financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
In addition, certain matters are reserved specifically for the Board’s disposition, including the
approval of corporate operating and capital budgets, major acquisitions and disposals of assets,
major investments, and changes in authority and approval limits.
Board Composition
The Board is composed of eleven (11) members, elected by stockholders entitled to vote during
the Annual Stockholders Meeting (ASM). The Board members hold office for one year and until
their successors are elected and qualified in accordance with the By-laws of the Company.
The roles of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are clearly
delineated and are held by two individuals to ensure balance of power and authority and to
promote independent decision making. Of the eleven members of the Board, only the President &
CEO is an executive director; the rest are non-executive directors who are not involved in the
day-to-day management of the business.
In compliance with the Revised Code of Corporate Governance, the Board has two independent
directors of the caliber necessary to effectively weigh in on Board discussions and decisions.
Globe defines an independent director as a person who is independent from management and
free from any business or other relationship which could materially interfere with his exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a director.
All board members have the expertise, professional experience, and background that allow for a
thorough examination and deliberation of the various issues and matters affecting the Company.
The members of the Board have likewise attended trainings on corporate governance prior to
assuming office.
The qualifications of all board nominees are reviewed by the Nomination Committee, chaired by
an independent director. The profiles of the directors are found in the “Board of Directors” section
of this Annual Report.
As of December 31, 2010, the Board is comprised of the following members:

Board Remuneration
In accordance with the Company’s By-Laws, the Board members receive stock options and
remuneration in the form of a specific sum for attendance at each regular or special meeting of
the Board. A per diem of P100,000 per Board or committee meeting was agreed and approved by
the shareholders during the ASM held last April 1, 2003. The remuneration is intended to provide
a reasonable compensation to the directors in recognition of their responsibilities and the potential
liability they assume as a consequence of the high standard of best practices required of the
Board as a body and of the directors individually, under the SEC-promulgated Code of Corporate
Governance. Also, the level of per diem is in line with standards currently practiced among
publicly listed companies similar to Globe.
Board Performance
Directors attend regular meetings of the Board, which are normally held on a monthly basis, as
well as special meetings of the Board, and the ASM. A director must have attended at least 50%
of all meetings held in a year in order to be qualified for re-election in the following year.
The Board met eleven (11) times in 2010, including the ASM. The attendance of the individual
directors at these meetings is duly recorded, as follows:

2009 Board Meeting
**Hui Weng Cheong was appointed Director and Co-Vice Chairman in place of Mark Chong Chin Kok at the 8 October
2010 Board Meeting.
The average attendance rate of members of the Board was at 88% for 2010 and 91% for 2009.
All directors have individually complied with the SEC’s minimum attendance requirement of 50%.
Prior to the Board meetings, all of the directors are provided with board papers which include
reports on the Company’s strategic, operational, and financial performance and other regulatory
matters. The Board also has access to the Corporate Secretary who, among other functions,
oversees the flow of information to the Board prior to the meetings and who serves as adviser to
the directors on their responsibilities and obligations. The members of the Board also have
access to management should they need to clarify matters concerning items submitted for their
consideration.
The Board conducts an annual self-assessment to ensure the continuing effectiveness of its
processes and to identify areas for improvement. During the last meeting of every year, the Board
meets in executive session to evaluate and discuss various matters concerning the Board,
including that of its own performance and that of the Company’s management team.
SEC Form 17A 2010

Board Committees
To further support the Board in the performance of its functions and to aid in good governance,
the Board has established five (5) committees. The role and function of each Board Committee is
described in detail below.
1. Executive Committee
The Executive Committee’s roles and responsibilities are clearly defined in the Executive
Committee Charter approved by the Board. The Executive Committee (ExCom) is comprised of
five (5) members appointed by the Board. The ExCom acts by majority vote and in accordance
with the authority granted by the Board. All actions of the ExCom are reported to the Board at the
meeting following such action and are subject to ratification or revision and alteration by the
Board.
2. Audit Committee
The Audit Committee’s roles and responsibilities are clearly defined in the Audit Committee
Charter approved by the Board. The Committee supports the corporate governance process of
the Company by fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to a) the integrity of the financial
statements and the financial reporting process; b) internal controls and financial reporting
principles, policies, and systems; c) the qualifications, independence and remuneration of the
independent auditors; d) internal audit function and independent auditors’ performance; and e)
compliance with legal, regulatory, and corporate governance requirements. Management
however has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process,
including the system of internal controls and risk management.
The Committee is composed of three members, one of whom is an independent director. An
independent director chairs the Audit Committee. All members of the Audit Committee are
appointed by the Board.
The Committee ensures tenders for independent audit services are conducted, reviews audit
fees, and recommends the appointment and fees of the independent auditors to the Board. The
Board, in turn, submits the appointment of the independent auditors and their fees for approval of
the shareholders at the ASM. The amount of audit fees is disclosed in this Annual Report.
The Audit Committee also approves the work plan of the Globe Internal Audit Group, as well as
the overall scope and work plan of the independent auditors.
The Audit Committee meets at least once every quarter and invites non-members, including the
President & CEO, Chief Financial Officer, independent and internal auditors, and other key
persons involved in company governance, to attend meetings where necessary. During these
meetings:
•
The Committee reviews the financial statements and all related disclosures and
reports certified by the Chief Financial Officer, and released to the public and/or
submitted to the Philippine SEC for compliance with both the internal financial
management handbook and pertinent accounting standards, including regulatory
requirements. The Committee, after its review of the quarterly unaudited and annual
audited consolidated financial statements of Globe Telecom, Inc. and Subsidiaries,
endorses these to the Board for approval.
•
The Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, and discusses the
results of their audits, ensuring that management is taking appropriate corrective
actions in a timely manner, including addressing internal controls and compliance
issues.
•
The Committee reviews the performance and recommends the appointment,
retention or discharge of the independent auditors, including the fixing of their
remuneration, to the full Board. On an annual basis, the Committee also assesses
the independent auditor’s qualifications, skills, resources, effectiveness and
SEC Form 17A 2010
120
independence. The Committee also reviews and approves the proportion of audit and
non-audit work both in relation to their significance to the auditor and in relation to the
Company’s total expenditure on consultancy, to ensure that non-audit work will not be
in conflict with the audit functions of the independent auditor.
•
The Committee reviews the plans, activities, staffing, and organizational structure and
assesses the effectiveness of the internal audit function, including conformance with
the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (ISPPIA).
•
The Committee provides oversight of the financial reporting and operational risks,
specifically on financial statements, internal controls, legal or regulatory compliance,
corporate governance, risk management and fraud risks. The Committee also
reviews the results of management’s annual risk assessment exercise.
The Audit Committee reports after each meeting and provides a copy of the minutes of its
meetings to the full Board. (Also see Annual Report of the Audit Committee to the Board of
Directors in page 127 of this 17A Report)
To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and assess the appropriateness of the
existing Charter for enabling good corporate governance, the Committee also reviews and
assesses the adequacy of its Charter annually, seeking Board approval for any amendments.
The Committee conducts an annual assessment of its performance to benchmark its practices
against the expectations set out in the approved Charter, and to ensure that it continues to fulfill
its responsibilities in accordance with global best practices and in compliance with the Manual of
Corporate Governance and other relevant regulatory requirements. The results of the selfassessment and any ensuing action plans formulated to improve the Committee’s performance
are reported to the Board.
3. Compensation and Renumeration Committee
The Compensation and Remuneration Committee’s roles and responsibilities are clearly defined
in the Compensation and Remuneration Committee Charter approved by the Board. The

members of the Compensation and Remuneration Committee are appointed by the Board.
The Committee is tasked to review the compensation philosophy and structure of the Company
and the reasonableness of its compensation and incentive plans and structures. The Committee
also reviews and approves the Company’s annual compensation plan and annual incentive plan.
In reviewing the plans, the Committee considers relevant industry and multi-industry benchmarks
in order to assess the reasonableness of management’s recommendations. The compensation
plan also includes retention structures for key positions. The Compensation and Remuneration
Committee usually meets at least twice a year, or more often as required.
The Stock Options Committee is a sub-committee of the Compensation and Remuneration
Committee and has two (2) members. The Stock Options Committee considers the framework for
the award of stock options to managers and executives, to the directors, and to certain key
consultants.

Management
The President & CEO, guided by the Company’s vision, mission, and values statements, is
accountable to the Board for the development and recommendation of strategies, and the
execution of the defined strategic imperatives. The President & CEO is assisted by the heads of
each of the major business units and support groups.
The Office of Strategy Management (OSM) reports to the President & CEO and oversees the
Company’s strategy management processes from strategy formulation, translation to executable
plans, horizontal alignment of business objectives across the organization, to execution and
performance tracking linked to the Company’s rewards system.
Every year, the Company reviews and formulates its strategic priorities which then guide the
formulation of the key business strategies and goals for the year. Using the balanced scorecard
framework, each business group identifies financial and non-financial objectives, and sets targets
and initiatives to achieve them as reflected in the groups’ Terms of Reference (TOR). To ensure
line of sight, the group TORs are cascaded to all employees, making sure that everyone
understands and appreciates their contribution to the group goals. This helps in developing
individual performance plans that are aligned with the key strategies. Rewards and incentives are
given based on the achievement of the committed group and individual targets.
Key programs, projects, and major organizational initiatives are taken up at the SEG, composed
of the President and CEO, as well as the heads of each of the major business units and support
groups. All budgets and major capital expenditures must be approved in accordance with the
Company’s limits of authority and by the CEO prior to endorsement to the Board for approval. The
Chief Operating Adviser and Chief Legal Adviser also provide inputs to the SEG as required. The
SEG meets at least once a week.
SEC Form 17A 2010
123
Management is mandated to provide complete and accurate information on the operations and
affairs of the Company in a timely manner. Management is also required to prepare financial
statements for each preceding financial year in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting
Standards (PFRS). Management’s statement of responsibility with regard to the Company’s
financial statements is included in this annual report.
The annual compensation of the key officers of the Company, including the President & CEO, is
disclosed in the Definitive Information Statement distributed to the shareholders. The total annual
compensation includes the basic salary, guaranteed bonuses, fixed allowances, and variable pay
(performance-based annual incentive).
Recognition for Excellence in Corporate Governance
Globe’s continuous effort in strengthening the company’s good governance and practices led to
reap several citations and awards.
In May 2010, the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) conferred Globe Telecom the Gold award
as one of the top 15 highest scores at 95 percent and above among publicly listed companies in
the 2009 Corporate Governance Scorecard. This is a joint project of ICD with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Philippine Stock Exchange, Institute of Internal Auditors of the
Philippines, Ateneo Law School, and Center for International Private Enterprise.
Globe also bagged seven awards out of the nine sectors in the 10th Annual Poll of Philippine Top
Companies by Finance Asia, a leading financial publishing company in Asia with bureaus in Hong
Kong, Singapore, and Sydney.
Among the distinction received are, second place in Best Managed Company and Best in
Corporate Governance categories, second place in terms of the Most Committed to a Strong
Dividend, third in Investor Relations, and eighth in Corporate Social Responsibility.
Also, Ernest L. Cu, Globe President and CEO, was adjudged Best CEO along with Globe
Chairman and Ayala CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, while Albert de Larrazabal, Globe
CFO, was hailed Best CFO.
These honors affirm the Company’s deliberate commitment to the principles of good governance
and transparency with its key stakeholders while it constantly find ways to improve business given
the challenging times.
Enterprise Risk Management
Cognizant of the dynamism of the business and the industry and in line with its goal to
continuously enhance value for its stakeholders, Globe Telecom has put in place a robust risk
management approach that is fully integrated in its strategy planning, execution and day-to-day
operations.
Risk Management Approach
As part of its strategy management calendar, senior management and key leaders regularly
conduct an enterprise–wide assessment of risks focused on identifying the key risks that could
threaten the achievement of Globe’s business objectives, both at the corporate and business unit
level, as well as specific plans to mitigate or manage such risks.
Risks are prioritized, depending on their impact to the overall business and the effectiveness by
which these are managed. Risk mitigation strategies are developed, updated and continuously
reviewed for effectiveness, and are also monitored through various control mechanisms.
Globe employs a two-dimensional view of risk monitoring. Senior Management’s scorecard
includes the status of risk mitigation plans as they relate to the attainment of a particular business
objective. Enterprise
SEC Form 17A 2010
124
Risk Owners, on the other hand, regularly monitor and report the status of the approved
mitigation plans meant to address the key risks.
Annually, Globe conducts an Enterprise Risk Management Performance Evaluation which serves
as a basis for continuously improving our Risk Management processes and capabilities.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Board of Directors, supported by the Executive Committee (Excom) and Audit Committee,
has an oversight role over the Company’s risk management activities and approves Globe’s risk
management policies. The Excom covers specific non-financial (e.g., strategic, operational,
human capital, regulatory) risks, while the Audit Committee provides oversight of financial
reporting risks.
The Chief Financial Officer supports the President, as the overall risk executive, in overseeing the
risk management activities of the Company, ensuring that the responsibilities for managing
specific risks are clear, the level of risk accepted by the Company is appropriate, and that an
effective control environment exists for the Company as a whole.
Risk Owners at the senior executive level have been identified and made accountable for
managing specific risks, supported by business process owners who have been designated,
trained, and made responsible for the particular process or activity from which the risk arises. This
is consistent with management’s belief that risks are best understood and managed by the
employees who are closest to the process.
The Enterprise Risk Management unit, under the Office of Strategy Management, facilitates the
enterprise risk management activities, bringing these closer to and more aligned with the
Company’s strategic planning and execution framework. This also supports the integration of
enterprise risk management with the Company’s scorecard processes and more tightly link risk
mitigation efforts with its day-to-day operations.
In addition to this overall risk management framework, Globe Telecom, through its Enterprise
Business Continuity Risk Management Office, has put in place an enterprise-wide program to
focus continuously on managing incidents and ensure business continuity immediately after a
significant disruption. During its inception in 2008, Globe adapted the business continuity
methodology and framework of the Business Continuity Management Institute (BCMI) of
Singapore. In 2009, it implemented the Good Practices Guidelines of the Business Continuity
Institute, which is a Management Guide to implementing global best practices on business
continuity management. And in 2010, Globe Telecom continued to improve its existing business
continuity capability by conducting a full review of the program and started aligning it with British
Standards (BS) 25999, the leading international standard on business continuity management,
and by giving emphasis on emergency response, recovery from natural calamities and overall
crisis management.
Globe continues to identify and address single points of failure in its network and support facilities
to make them less vulnerable to failures. It has invested in technology that will ensure network
resiliency and disaster-preparedness. Enhancements are currently being made on the
international network and in strengthening core network elements as well as investments in
emergency power.
Over the past year, Globe continued to ensure uninterrupted services in mission-critical sites in
baluarte areas, making certain that the area can withstand the effects of typhoons. Proof of our
disaster-preparedness was our network performance in the midst of Typhoon Juan (international
name, Megi) in October. Part of the disaster-preparedness efforts included acquiring the
necessary tools and conducting typhoon and flooding drills months before the start of the typhoon
season to make disaster recovery teams more prepared for typhoons and floods. Globe also
created Regional Crisis Management Teams in North and South Luzon, the most typhoon/floodprone regions in the country, while continuing to improve its crisis communication process,
community disaster response programs, and overall regional crisis management program.
Business continuity preparedness involves all levels of the organization. In extreme weather
conditions, updates and alerts about incoming typhoons are regularly issued not just to disaster
SEC Form 17A 2010
125
response teams but also to senior executives, members of the Crisis Management Team and
members of the Business Continuity Core Team to ensure uniformity and consistency of
response. Post-typhoon meetings are held to identify gaps and lessons learned and
corresponding improvements, and report these to senior executives led by the President and to
the Executive Committee.
Since business continuity management is a journey, Globe has trained and continues to train
those who are involved in the program, and conducts awareness campaigns. In 2010, a training
based on British Standard 25999 was held for network engineers and IT experts who develop
Disaster Recovery Plans. Members of Emergency Response Teams in corporate offices and
mission-critical technical sites were trained on Emergency Response and First Aid. The
“BeAware, Prepare” business continuity awareness campaign was launched even as we continue
to orient new employees on safety and business continuity.
All these made the Globe organization and its people more resilient to crisis and natural disasters.
By embedding Business Continuity in our way of life, Globe became even more responsive to its
customers’ needs at the most critical times.
The May 2010 First Automated Elections was another opportunity to serve and showcase the
reliability of the Globe network. Around 35,000 SIMs were distributed and used by the PCOS
machines, mostly in the Luzon area. 117 DSL sites in the Visayas and Mindanao canvassing
centers were used to transmit consolidated returns to the canvassing centers. To ensure security
and accuracy of data transmission, four vital sites were linked to the Main Data Center where
Smartmatic servers were located. Among them are the Back Up Data Center provided by PLDT,
the Comelec Data Center at the PICC, the Congress and the KBP Center at Pope Pius at UN
Avenue. More than 3,000 sites nationwide were used to service the PCOS machines, all of which
were operational during the elections, earning a commendation and a thank you from Comelec
and Smartmatic.
Typhoons Basyang and Juan gave Globe the chance to give back to the community. In the days
prior to Basyang’s landfall, Globe North Luzon teams ensured advanced deployment of gensets
to mission-critical sites, augmented manpower and delivered fuel to all sites across the region.
Globe activated the HQ Command Center, Regional Crisis Management Team and the Disaster
Recovery Teams, while working with vendors and contractors to ensure sufficient supplies. Even
as Typhoon Basyang hit earlier than expected and affected GMA instead of Northern Luzon,
Globe teams, also relying on international weather bureaus, made the necessary adjustments
and preparation.
When Typhoon Juan struck the country, Globe teams delivered all the necessary machines and
extra manpower to be able to respond well. Within twenty-six hours, 64% of affected sites were
restored and Globe was the only telecommunications provider that worked in Tuguegarao in the
immediate two hours after the onslaught of Juan.
Business continuity and uninterrupted service is just one of the marks of Globe making a
difference in the consumer’s life. It also extends to being there first and fast, while ensuring
service performance.

Audit and Internal Controls
Internal Audit
It is the policy of Globe Telecom to establish and support an Internal Audit function as a
fundamental part of its corporate governance practices. Internal audit is a service, providing an
independent, objective assurance and consulting function within Globe Telecom, and sharing the
organization’s common goal of creating and enhancing value for its stakeholders, through a
systematic approach in evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management, internal
control and governance processes. The Audit Committee regards its relationship with Globe
Internal Audit having a vital role in supporting the Committee in the effective discharge of its
oversight role and responsibilities.
The Internal Audit Group performs its auditing functions faithfully by maintaining independence
from management and controlling shareholders as it reports functionally to the Board, through the
Audit Committee, and administratively, to the President & CEO.
The Internal Audit Group maintains, reviews and assesses the adequacy of its Charter annually to
ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and appropriateness for enabling good corporate
governance. Any amendments to the Charter are submitted to the Audit Committee and Board
approval.
Globe Internal Audit adopts a risk-based audit approach in developing its annual work plan, reassessed quarterly to consider emerging risks and the changing dynamics of the
telecommunications industry. The Audit Committee reviews and approves the annual work plan
and all deviations, and ensures that internal audit examinations cover at least the evaluation of
adequacy and effectiveness of controls encompassing the Company’s governance, operations,
information systems, reliability and integrity of financial and operational information, effectiveness
and efficiency of operations, safeguarding of assets, and compliance with laws, rules, and
regulations. The Audit Committee also ensures that audit resources are reasonably allocated to
and focused on the areas of highest risk.
The Committee meets with the internal auditors, and discusses the results of their audits,
ensuring that management is taking appropriate corrective actions in a timely manner, including
addressing internal controls, regulatory and compliance issues. The Committee also receives
periodic reports on the status of internal audit activities, key performance indicators’
accomplishments, and quality assurance and improvement programs.
Globe Internal Audit governs its activities in conformance with the International Standards for the
Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (the “Standards”), the Institute of Internal Auditor’s Code
of Ethics, and the Company’s Code of Conduct. In 2007, the group subjected its activities to an
external Quality Assurance Review (QAR) which resulted to a “Generally Conforms” rating, the
highest rating that can be achieved in the QAR process, confirming that internal audit activities
are conducted in conformance with the Standards.
As an advocate of the principles of good corporate governance, Globe Internal Audit worked
together with the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) which assists public sector organizations to
improve their governance practices and raise them to global standards through the PGS and The
Institute of Internal Auditors in validating reported breakthrough transformations in one of the
Government - Owned and Controlled Corporations. The results of the validation were considered
by ISA in assessing the corporation’s eligibility for conveying upon it a Performance Governance
System (PGS), a globally recognized framework and an action-based, measurable and timebound program designed to make organizations perform and execute strategy successfully. It is a
local adaptation of the Balanced Scorecard applied to the public sector, to track the agencies’
performance against a set of goals.
Last August 2010, Globe’s Internal Audit also played host to the 7th Regional Chief Audit
Executives (CAE) Forum for Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) and its affiliates held at the
Shangri-La Mactan Resort & Spa in Cebu City. The forum was attended by delegates from
SingTel’s various regional affiliates such as AirTel (India), Optus (Australia), Warid (Pakistan),
SEC Form 17A 2010
127
AIS (Thailand), as well as delegates from SingTel, Globe and Ayala Corporation with the theme
“P.R.I.M.E. for Excellence” (Prepare, Refocus, Immerse, Manage, Execute).
The annual Regional CAE Forum is one of the established regional events since 2004 that aims
to gather the Heads and key officers of internal audit teams of SingTel and its regional affiliates to
promote synergies and relationship building through sharing of knowledge, thought leadership,
experiences, and good practices on risk management, internal control and corporate governance.
Globe Internal Audit has also actively participated in sharing good practice of internal auditing and
corporate governance through various external speaking engagements and attendance to forums
and other related events.
In 2009, Globe was featured in the first project of the Asian Confederation of IIA (ACIIA) entitled
Governance, Risk Management and Control: Internal Audit Leading Practices, Case Studies in
Asia”, the first book published by ACIIA (a confederation of 14 IIA affiliates in the Asia Pacific
region*). Aligned with the resolve of the Company to uphold the principles of good governance,
Globe Internal Audit shares its practices on corporate governance and internal auditing.
Geared towards excellence, the Internal Audit Group provides for continuing personal and
professional development for all auditors through its Learning Ladder Framework to equip them
in the conduct of reviews, with focus on acquiring familiarity with Globe internal processes and
telecom technology, new accounting and auditing standards, fraud investigation skills, and
regulatory updates.
External Audit
The Company engages the services of independent auditors to conduct an audit and obtain
reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements and relevant disclosures are free from
material misstatements. The independent auditors are directly responsible to the Audit Committee
in helping ensure the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and reporting process.
It is the practice of the company every three (3) years to tender bid for the external audit services
of independent auditors and on an annual basis conducting the independent auditor’s
performance appraisal. From the results, the Audit Committee evaluates and proposed to the
Board for endorsement and approval of the shareholder, the appointment of the independent
auditors. The endorsement is submitted to the shareholders for approval at the ASM. The
representatives of the independent auditors are expected to be present at the ASM and have the
opportunity to make a statement on the Company’s financial statements and results of operations
if they desire to do so. The auditors are also expected to be available to respond to appropriate
questions during the meeting.
SyCip, Gorres, Velayo & Company (SGV & Co.) is the appointed independent auditors for Globe
Telecom, Inc, and its subsidiaries. In accordance with regulations issued by the SEC, the audit
partner principally handling the Company’s account is rotated every five (5) years or sooner. The
most recent rotation occurred in 2007.
There were no disagreements with the Company’s independent auditors on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
Fees approved in connection with the audit services rendered by SGV & Co., pursuant to the
regulatory and statutory requirements amounted to P15.95 million for the years ended 31
December 2010 and 2009.
In addition to performing the audit of Globe Group’s financial statements, SGV & Co. was also
selected, in accordance with established procurement policies, to provide other services in 2010
and 2009.
The Audit Committee has an existing policy to review and to pre-approve the audit and non-audit
services rendered by the Company’s independent auditors. It does not allow the Globe Group to
engage the independent auditors for certain non-audit services expressly prohibited by SEC
regulations to be performed by an independent auditor for its audit clients. This is to ensure that
SEC Form 17A 2010
128
the independent auditors maintain the highest level of independence from the Company, both in
fact and appearance.
The Audit Committee has reviewed the nature of non-audit services rendered by SGV & Co. and
the corresponding fees and concluded that these are not significant to impair the independence of
the auditors.
The aggregate fees billed by SGV & Co. are shown below (with comparative figures for 2009):

Group’s financial statements pursuant to the regulatory requirements.
Non-Audit Fees. This includes special projects, trainings and seminars rendered by the SGV &
Co and its affiliates.
The fees presented above include out-of-pocket expenses incidental to the independent auditor’s
services.
Pursuant to the Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services policy, the Audit Committee has
reviewed the nature of non-audit services rendered by SGV & Co. and the corresponding fees
and concluded that these are not in conflict with the audit functions of the independent auditors.
Xavier P. Loinaz is the Chairman of the Audit Committee while Tay Soo Meng and Romeo L.
Bernardo are members. Tay Soo Meng was elected to the Board on 8 February 2011 to serve
the remainder of the term of Koh Kah Sek who stepped down from the Board on 2 January 2011.
Responsible Tax Payment
Globe recognizes and follows Philippine tax rules and regulations. The organization pays the right
amount of tax legally due to the government and observes all applicable rules and regulations in
the country in a timely manner. The organization’s employees, consultants and business partners
are expected to treat with integrity all matters pertaining to tax activities.
Financial Reporting
The annual audited consolidated financial statements of Globe Telecom and its subsidiaries have
been prepared in accordance with PFRS, which are aligned with International Financial Reporting
Standards.
Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the financial reporting
process.
The independent auditors are directly responsible to the Audit Committee in helping ensure the
integrity of the Company’s financial statements and relevant disclosures, and for expressing an
opinion on Globe Group’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. As part of its
oversight responsibility, the Audit Committee, with the assistance of the internal auditors, reviews
the financial statements and all related disclosures and endorses these to the Board for approval.
The financial statements comprise of the consolidated statements of financial position,
consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity,
and consolidated statements of cash flows.
Information showing the performance of the wireless and fixed line segments is also disclosed to
show their respective contributions to total corporate performance. Finally, the financial
SEC Form 17A 2010
129
statements also include a detailed discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies
and other explanatory notes.
Dealings in Securities
Globe has adopted strict policies and guidelines for trades involving the Company’s shares made
by key officers and those with access to material non-public information. Key officers and those
with access to the quarterly results in the course of its review are prohibited from trading in
Globe’s shares starting from the time when quarterly results are internally reviewed until after
Globe publicly discloses its results. Notices of trading blackouts are regularly issued to the
officers concerned and compliance is monitored by the Corporate and Legal Services Group.
Also, all key officers are required to submit a report on their trades to a designated compliance
officer, for submission to the SEC in accordance with the Securities Regulation Code.
Ownership Structure
Globe Telecom regularly discloses the top 20 shareholders of the common and preferred equity
securities of the Company. Disclosure is also made of the security ownership of certain record
and beneficial owners who hold more than 5% of the Company’s common and preferred shares.
Finally, the shareholdings and percentage ownership of the directors and key officers are
disclosed in the Definitive Information Statement sent to the shareholders prior to the ASM.

Employee Relations
Life in Globe is as dynamic as the industry we are in. We are each one’s Ka-Globe, striving to
constantly deliver superior and quality service to our customers. Whether we are serving our
subscribers in our stores, delivering customized solutions to our enterprise and corporate clients,
or ensuring quality of our network and information technology systems, we believe that our
business lies at the heart of transforming and enriching lives.
a. Building and Sustaining Talent Capability
Globe takes pride in ensuring that our partners- the employees, get the best retention, training
and development programs. Through fostering a culture of excellence in performance and
recognizing these with rewards, we are consistent in the message of Customer First; after all,
employees are the organization’s internal customers.
In the past year, the Human Resources group led in tracking and monitoring productivity through
decision-making and manpower rationalization, with the intent of ensuring cost-effectiveness
across the organization.
Globe is proud to have people who make a difference. In 2010, Talent and Career Management
designed implemented various career development initiatives for key executives and talents.
•
•
•
•
The Ayala Leadership Acceleration Program (LEAP) paved the way for leadership
development and coaching straight from Ayala and Harvard executives.
In partnership with the Harvard Business School Publishing, HR designed the Globe
Emerging Leaders (GEL) program to provide executives and key talents the latest
management best practice tools.
Senior executives also participated in Game for Global Growth (GGG), a one-year
development program for senior executives in the telco industry, which was also designed for
SingTel affiliates.
Key talents and other executives also went through a one-week course called Regional
Leadership in Action (RLA), which focuses on leadership soft skills and business acumen,
designed specifically for the SingTel group.
The Talent and Career Management group also launched the company’s online Performance
Management System, highlighting the Planning and Performance Evaluation (PPE) form that
allows employees and their immediate supervisors to document, track, and evaluate performance
throughout the year.
The design and implementation of our Total Rewards and Benefits programs were enhanced to
align with the performance-driven culture in Globe. The company’s Flexible Benefits program
called myChoice introduced more options for flexing and points conversion, enabling employees
to design their benefits according to personal needs. HR also reviewed and updated the salary
structure to ensure market competitiveness. Furthermore, Globe designed differentiated incentive
plans anchored on group metrics and deliverables to better recognize the contribution of each
employee in the attainment of corporate targets. In the past year, there was an increase in the
number of management-initiated promotions, to recognize and reward high-performers.
The combined strengths of Organization Development, HR Communications and Employee
Programs paved the way for successful culture- building programs.
In the past year, Globe has successfully launched The Globe Way, the company’s new credo
and way of life that embodies collective values and aspirations. To further experience The Globe
Way, a road show called I Love Globe Caravan was done to showcase various perks and
privileges exclusive to employees. To sustain and to capitalize these new core values, The Globe
Way Awards was held to recognize individuals and teams whose exemplary behavior, values
SEC Form 17A 2010
131
and achievements best demonstrated The Globe Way. The Employee Satisfaction Survey
gathers indicators that drive employee engagement in Globe, and results showed that we are still
above the baseline score.
b. Employee Engagement Through Volunteerism
While our people keep up with the rapid pace of their daily endeavors in the Company, we take
pride in our collective and relentless efforts to be of service not only to the customer but to the
larger society and community. In 2010, Globe employees devoted a total of 7,818 hours to take
part in various outreach and volunteer activities that included building homes and schools,
teaching out-of-school youths, reforestation and cleanup initiatives, and other socially-relevant
programs in partnership with our flagship corporate social responsibility program, Globe
BridgeCom.
c. Forging Healthy Labor Relations
Globe employs 5,667 active regular employees as of December 31, 2010, of which 513 or around
9% are covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the Globe Telecom Employees’
Union – Federation of Free Workers (GTEU-FFW). The Company maintains a mutually
supportive relationship with the GTEU-FFW as demonstrated in joint projects and initiatives that
affect its members at large.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Stockholders and the Board of Directors
Globe Telecom, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Globe Telecom, Inc. and
Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income,
consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years
then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control
as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to
the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
*SGVMC114676*
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
-2We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Globe Telecom, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards.

-3Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Globe Group
and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Globe
Group. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year
as Globe Telecom using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in
similar circumstances. All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including
intercompany profits and losses, were eliminated during consolidation in accordance with the
accounting policy on consolidation.
2.4 Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except
for the adoption of the following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations of
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which became effective
on January 1, 2010. Except as otherwise indicated, the adoption of the new and amended
Standards and Interpretations did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
· Revised PFRS 3, Business Combinations and Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 27,
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The revised PFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business
combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in
the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. The revised PAS 27
requires, among others, that (a) change in ownership interests of a subsidiary (that do not
result in loss of control) will be accounted for as an equity transaction and will have no
impact on goodwill nor will it give rise to a gain or loss; (b) losses incurred by the
subsidiary will be allocated between the controlling and non-controlling interests (NCI)
(previously referred to as ‘minority interests’), even if the losses exceed the non-controlling
equity investment in the subsidiary; and (c) on loss of control of a subsidiary, any retained
interest will be remeasured to fair value and this will impact the gain or loss recognized on
disposal.
· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC17, Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners
This Interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity
distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as
dividends.
· Amendment to PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible
Hedged Items
This Amendment clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value
changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as a hedged item. This also
covers the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. The
Group has concluded that the amendment will have no impact on the financial position or
performance of the Group, as the Group has not entered into any such hedges.
· Amendments to PFRS 2, Share-based Payment: Group Cash-settled Transactions
This Amendment clarifies the scope and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based
payment transactions.
*SGVMC114676*
-4Improvements to PFRSs
The omnibus amendments to PFRSs issued in May 2008 and April 2009 were issued primarily
with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wordings. There are separate
transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of these amended standards did not
have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Globe Group,
unless otherwise indicated.
Issued in May 2008
· IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
This Amendment clarifies that when a subsidiary is classified as held for sale, all its assets
and liabilities are classified as held for sale, even when the entity remains a
non-controlling interest after the sale transaction. The Amendment is applied
prospectively.
Issued in April 2009
· PFRS 2, Share-based Payment
This Amendment clarifies that the contribution of a business on formation of a joint
venture and combinations under common control are not within the scope of PFRS 2 even
though they are out of scope of PFRS 3.
·
PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
This Amendment clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and
disposal groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out
in PFRS 5. The disclosure requirements of other PFRSs only apply if specifically
required for such non-current assets or discontinued operations.
·
PFRS 8, Operating Segments
This Amendment clarifies that segment assets and liabilities need only be reported
when those assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the chief
operating decision maker.
·
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
This Amendment clarifies that the terms of a liability that could result, at anytime, in its
settlement by the issuance of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty do not
affect its classification.
·
PAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows
This Amendment explicitly states that only expenditure that results in a recognized asset
can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities.
·
PAS 17, Leases
This Amendment removes the specific guidance on classifying land as a lease. Prior to
the amendment, leases of land were classified as operating leases. This Amendment
requires that leases of land are classified as either ‘finance’ or ‘operating’ in accordance
with the general principles of PAS 17.
*SGVMC114676*
-5·
PAS 36, Impairment of Assets
This Amendment clarifies that the largest unit permitted for allocating goodwill, acquired
in a business combination, is the operating segment as defined in PFRS 8 before
aggregation for reporting purposes.
·
PAS 38, Intangible Assets
This Amendment clarifies that if an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is
identifiable only with another intangible asset, the acquirer may recognize the group of
intangible assets as a single asset provided the individual assets have similar useful lives.
It clarifies that the valuation techniques presented for determining the fair value of
intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are not traded in active markets
are only examples and are not restrictive on the methods that can be used.
·
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
This Amendment clarifies the following: 1) that a prepayment option is considered closely
related to the host contract when the exercise price of a prepayment option reimburses the
lender up to the approximate present value of lost interest for the remaining term of the
host contract; 2) that the scope exemption for contracts between an acquirer and a vendor
in a business combination to buy or sell an acquiree at a future date applies only to
binding forward contracts, and not derivative contracts where further actions by either
party are still to be taken and 3) that gains or losses on cash flow hedges of a forecast
transaction that subsequently results in the recognition of a financial instrument or on cash
flow hedges of recognized financial instruments should be reclassified in the period that
the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss.
·
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
This Interpretation clarifies that it does not apply to possible reassessment, at the date of
acquisition, to embedded derivatives in contracts acquired in a combination between
entities or businesses under common control or the formation of a joint venture.
·
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation
This Interpretation states that, in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation,
qualifying hedging instruments may be held by any entity or entities within the group,
including the foreign operation itself, as long as the designation, documentation and
effectiveness requirements of PAS 39 that relate to a net investment hedge are satisfied.
2.5 Future Changes in Accounting Policies
The Globe Group will adopt the following new and amended standards and interpretations
enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Globe
Group does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine
Interpretations to have significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Effective 2011
· Amendment to PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures
This Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
It clarifies the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such
relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard
introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government-related entities.
Early adoption is permitted for either the partial exemption for government-related entities
or for the entire standard.
*SGVMC114676*
-6·
Amendment to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of Rights
Issues
This Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010.
It amended the definition of a financial liability in order to classify rights issues (and
certain options or warrants) as equity instruments in cases where such rights are given pro
rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non-derivative equity
instruments, or to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a
fixed amount in any currency.
·
Amendments to Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding
Requirement
This Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011,
with retrospective application. It provides guidance on assessing the recoverable amount
of a net pension asset. The amendment permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a
minimum funding requirement as an asset.
·
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity
Instruments
This Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010.
It clarified that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability
qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair
value. In case that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments are measured at the
fair value of the liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is recognized immediately in
profit or loss.
Improvements to PFRSs
The omnibus amendments to PFRSs issued in May 2010 were issued primarily with a
view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wordings. There are separate transitional
provisions for each standard and will become effective January 1, 2011. Except
otherwise stated, the Globe Group does not expect the adoption of these new standards to
have significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
· PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Revised)
This Amendment clarifies that the Amendments to PFRS 7, Financial Instruments:
Disclosures, PAS 32 and PAS 39 that eliminate the exemption for contingent
consideration, do not apply to contingent consideration that arose from business
combinations whose acquisition dates precede the application of PFRS 3 (as revised in
2008).
It also limits the scope of the measurement choices that only the components of NCI
that are present ownership interests that entitle their holders to a proportionate share of
the entity’s net assets, in the event of liquidation, shall be measured either: at fair
value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s
identifiable net assets. Other components of NCI are measured at their acquisition
date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by another PFRS.
*SGVMC114676*
-7The Amendment also requires an entity (in a business combination) to account for the
replacement of the acquiree’s share-based payment transactions (whether obliged or
voluntarily), i.e., split between consideration and post combination expenses.
However, if the entity replaces the acquiree’s awards that expire as a consequence of
the business combination, these are recognized as post-combination expenses. It
further specifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions that the acquirer
does not exchange for its own awards: if vested - they are part of NCI and measured at
their marked-based measure; if unvested - they are measured at market-based value as
if granted at acquisition date, and allocated between NCI and post-combination
expense.
· PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
This Amendment emphasizes the interaction between quantitative and qualitative
disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments.
The amendments to quantitative and credit risk disclosures are as follows:
a) Clarify that only financial assets whose carrying amount does not reflect the
maximum exposure to credit risk need to provide further disclosure of the amount
that represents the maximum exposure to such risk.
b) Requires, for all financial assets, disclosure of the financial effect of collateral
held as security and other credit enhancements regarding the amount that best
represents the maximum exposure to credit risk (e.g., a description of the extent
to which collateral mitigates credit risk).
c) Remove disclosure of the collateral held as security, other credit enhancements
and an estimate of their fair value for financial assets that are past due but not
impaired, and financial assets that are individually determined to be impaired.
d) Remove the requirement to specifically disclose financial assets renegotiated to
avoid becoming past due or impaired.
e) Clarify that the additional disclosure required for financial assets obtained by
taking possession of collateral or other credit enhancements are only applicable to
assets still held at the reporting date.
· PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
This Amendment clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other
comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of
changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.
· PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
This Amendment clarifies that the consequential amendments from PAS 27 made to
PAS 21, The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, PAS 28, Investments in
Associates and PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, apply prospectively for annual
periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009 or earlier when PAS 27 is applied earlier.
· PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting
This Amendment provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in
PAS 34 and add disclosure requirements around:
a) The circumstances likely to affect fair values of financial instruments and their
classification;
b) Transfers of financial instruments between different levels of the fair value
hierarchy;
*SGVMC114676*
-8c) Changes in classification of financial assets;
d) Changes in contingent liabilities and assets.
· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes
This Amendment clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based
on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts
or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit
scheme, is to be taken into account.
Effective 2012
· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for the Construction of Real Estate
This Interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that
undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors which should
be applied retroactively and prospectively. It requires that revenue on construction of real
estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as
construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or
involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of
completion. Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and
where the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis
will also be accounted for based on stage of completion.
·
PAS 12, Income Taxes, Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
The Amendment to PAS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2012. It provides a practical solution to the problem of assessing whether
recovery of an asset will be through use or sale. It introduces a presumption that recovery
of the carrying amount of an asset will, normally, be through sale.
·
PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments) – Disclosures–Transfers of
Financial Assets
The Amendments to PFRS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after
July 1, 2011. It will allow users of financial statements to improve their understanding of
transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitizations), including
understanding the possible effects of any risks that may remain with the entity that
transferred the assets. It also requires additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount
of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period.
Effective 2013
· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
The Standard, as issued in 2010, reflects the first phase of the work on the replacement of
PAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial
liabilities as defined in PAS 39. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2013. In subsequent phases, hedge accounting and derecognition will be
addressed. The completion of this project is expected in early 2011. The adoption of the
first phase of this Standard will have an effect on the classification and measurement of
the Globe Group’s financial assets. The Globe Group will quantify the effect in
conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.

fixed monthly service fees; and (8) one-time service connection
fees (for wireline voice and data subscribers).
*SGVMC114676*
- 10 Postpaid service arrangements include fixed monthly service fees,
which are recognized over the subscription period on a pro-rata
basis. Monthly service fees billed in advance are initially
deferred and recognized as revenues during the period when
earned. Telecommunications services provided to postpaid
subscribers are billed throughout the month according to the bill
cycles of subscribers. As a result of bill cycle cut-off, monthly
service revenues earned but not yet billed at the end of the month
are estimated and accrued. These estimates are based on actual
usage less estimated consumable usage using historical ratio of
consumable usage over billable usage.
Proceeds from over-the-air reloading channels and the sale of
prepaid cards are deferred and shown as “Unearned revenues” in
the consolidated statements of financial position. Revenue is
recognized upon actual usage of airtime value net of discounts on
promotional calls and net of free airtime value or SMS and bonus
reloads. Unused load value is recognized as revenue upon
expiration.
The Globe Group offers loyalty programs which allow its
subscribers to accumulate points when they purchase services
from the Globe Group. The points can then be redeemed for free
services, discounts and raffle coupons, subject to a minimum
number of points being obtained. The consideration received or
receivable is allocated between the sale of services and award
credits. The portion of the consideration allocated to the award
credits is accounted for as unearned revenues. This will be
recognized as revenue upon the award redemption.
2.6.1.1.2
Traffic
Inbound revenues refer to traffic originating from other
telecommunications providers terminating to the Globe Group’s
network, while outbound charges represent traffic sent out or
mobile content delivered using agreed termination rates and/or
revenue sharing with other foreign and local carriers and content
providers. Adjustments are made to the accrued amount for
discrepancies between the traffic volume per Globe Group’s
records and per records of the other carriers as these are
determined and/or mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Uncollected inbound revenues are shown as traffic settlements
receivable under the “Receivables” account, while unpaid
outbound charges are shown as traffic settlements
payable under the “Accounts payable and accrued expenses”
account in the consolidated statements of financial position unless
a legal right of offset exists.
*SGVMC114676*
- 11 2.6.1.2 Nonservice revenues
Proceeds from sale of handsets, phonekits, SIM packs, modems and
accessories are recognized upon delivery of the item. The related cost or net
realizable value of handsets, phonekits, SIM packs, modems and accessories
sold to customers are presented as “Cost of sales” in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.
2.6.1.3 Others
Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest rate
method.
Lease income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
Dividend income is recognized when the Globe Group’s right to receive
payment is established.
2.6.2
Subscriber Acquisition and Retention Costs
The related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of subscribers are
charged against current operations. Subscriber acquisition costs primarily include
commissions, handset, phonekit and device subsidies and selling expenses. Subsidies
represent the difference between the cost of handsets, phonekits, SIM cards, modems
and accessories (included in the “Cost of sales” and “Impairment losses and others”
account), and the price offered to the subscribers (included in the “Nonservice
revenues” account). Retention costs for existing postpaid subscribers are in the form
of free handsets, devices and bill credits. Retention costs are charged against current
operations and included under the “General, selling and administrative expenses”
account in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income upon delivery or
when there is a contractual obligation to deliver. Bill credits are deducted from
service revenues upon application against qualifying subscriber bills.
2.6.3
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original
maturities of three months or less from date of placement and that are subject to an
insignificant risk of change in value.
2.6.4
Financial Instruments
2.6.4.1 General
2.6.4.1.1
Initial recognition and fair value measurement
Financial instruments are recognized in the Globe Group’s
consolidated statements of financial position when the Globe
Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require
delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation
or convention in the marketplace are recognized (regular way
trades) on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Globe Group
commits to purchase or sell the asset.
*SGVMC114676*
- 12 Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value.
Except for financial instruments at fair value through profit or
loss (FVPL), the initial measurement of financial assets includes
directly attributable transaction costs.
The Globe Group classifies its financial assets into the following
categories: financial assets at FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM)
investments, AFS investments, and loans and receivables. The
Globe Group classifies its financial liabilities into financial
liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities. The
classification depends on the purpose for which the investments
were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market.
Management determines the classification of its investments at
initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, reevaluates such designation every reporting date.
The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at
the end of reporting date is based on their quoted market price or
dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price
for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs.
When current bid and ask prices are not available, the price of the
most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value
as long as there has not been a significant change in economic
circumstances since the time of the transaction.
For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market,
the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation
techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value
techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market
observable prices exist, option pricing models, and other relevant
valuation models. Any difference noted between the fair value
and the transaction price is treated as expense or income, unless it
qualifies for recognition as some type of asset or liability.
Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different
from the fair value of other observable current market
transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation
technique whose variables include only data from observable
market, the Globe Group recognizes the difference between the
transaction price and fair value (a “Day 1” profit) in profit or loss.
In cases where no observable data is used, the difference between
the transaction price and model value is only recognized in profit
or loss when the inputs become observable or when the
instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Globe
Group determines the appropriate method of recognizing the
“Day 1” profit amount.
*SGVMC114676*
- 13 2.6.4.1.2
Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities at FVPL
This category consists of financial assets or financial liabilities
that are held for trading or designated by management as FVPL
on initial recognition. Derivative instruments, except those
designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as
defined by PAS 39, are classified under this category.
Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as
effective hedging instruments.
Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the
consolidated statements of financial position at fair value, with
changes in fair value being recorded in profit and loss. Interest
earned or incurred is recorded as “Interest income or expense”,
respectively, while dividend income is recorded when the right of
payment has been established. Both are recorded in profit and
loss.
Financial assets or financial liabilities are classified in this
category as designated by management on initial recognition
when any of the following criteria are met:
2.6.4.1.3
·
the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the
inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from
measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or
losses on a different basis; or
·
the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets,
financial liabilities or both which are managed and their
performance are evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance
with a documented risk management or investment strategy;
or
·
the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative,
unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify
the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it
would not be separately recorded.
HTM investments
HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities for which
the Globe Group’s management has the positive intention and
ability to hold to maturity. Where the Globe Group sells other
than an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire
category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS investments.
After initial measurement, HTM investments are subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method, less any impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated
by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition
*SGVMC114676*
- 14 and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the HTM
investments are derecognized and impaired, as well as through
the amortization process. The amortization is included in
“Interest income” in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income. The effects of restatement of foreign
currency-denominated HTM investments are recognized in profit
or loss.
There are no outstanding HTM investments as of December 31,
2010, 2009 and 2008.
2.6.4.1.4
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. They are not entered into with the intention of immediate
or short-term resale and are not classified as financial assets held
for trading, designated as AFS investments or designated at
FVPL.
This accounting policy relates to the consolidated statements of
financial position caption “Receivables”, which arise primarily
from subscriber and traffic revenues and other types of
receivables, “Short-term investments”, which arise primarily from
unquoted debt securities, and other nontrade receivables included
under “Prepayments and other current assets” and loans
receivables included under “Other noncurrent assets”.
Receivables are recognized initially at fair value, which normally
pertains to the billable amount. After initial measurement,
receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment
losses. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any
discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part
of the effective interest rate. Penalties, termination fees and
surcharges on past due accounts of postpaid subscribers are
recognized as revenues upon collection. The losses arising from
impairment of receivables are recognized in the “Impairment
losses and others” account in the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income. The level of allowance for impairment
losses is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that
affect the collectability of accounts (see accounting policy on
2.6.4.2 Impairment of Financial Assets).
Short-term investments, other nontrade receivables and loans
receivable are recognized initially at fair value, which normally
pertains to the consideration paid. Similar to receivables,
subsequent to initial recognition, short-term investments, other
nontrade receivables and loans receivables are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any
allowance for impairment losses.
*SGVMC114676*
- 15 2.6.4.1.5
AFS investments
AFS investments are those investments which are designated as
such or do not qualify to be classified as designated as at FVPL,
HTM investments or loans and receivables. They are purchased
and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity
requirements or changes in market conditions. They include
equity investments, money market papers and other debt
instruments.
After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently
measured at fair value. Interest earned on holding AFS
investments are reported as interest income using the effective
interest rate. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair
valuation of AFS investments are excluded from reported
earnings and are reported as “Other reserves” (net of tax where
applicable) in the equity section of the consolidated statements of
financial position. When the investment is disposed of, the
cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in equity is
recognized in profit or loss.
When the fair value of AFS investments cannot be measured
reliably because of lack of reliable estimates of future cash flows
and discount rates necessary to calculate the fair value of
unquoted equity instruments, these investments are carried at
cost, less any allowance for impairment losses. Dividends earned
on holding AFS investments are recognized in profit or loss when
the right of payment has been established.
The Globe Group evaluates its AFS investments whether the
ability and intention to sell them in the near term is still
appropriate. When the Globe Group is unable to trade the AFS
investments due to inactive markets and management intent
significantly changes to do so in the foreseeable future, the Globe
Group may elect to reclassify it to HTM investment or loans and
receivables provided they meet certain criteria set by PAS 39 in
rare circumstances.
The losses arising from impairment of such investments are
recognized as “Impairment losses and others” in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.
2.6.4.1.6
Other financial liabilities
Issued financial instruments or their components, which are not
designated at FVPL are classified as other financial liabilities
where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the
Globe Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or
another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation
other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another
financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. The
components of issued financial instruments that contain both
liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with
*SGVMC114676*
- 16 the equity component being assigned the residual amount after
deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately
determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date
of issue. After initial measurement, other financial liabilities are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into
account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an
integral part of the effective interest rate. Any effects of
restatement of foreign currency-denominated liabilities are
recognized in profit or loss.
This accounting policy applies primarily to the Globe Group’s
debt, accounts payable and other obligations that meet the above
definition (other than liabilities covered by other accounting
standards, such as income tax payable).
2.6.4.1.7
Derivative Instruments
2.6.4.1.7.1 General
The Globe Group enters into short-term deliverable
and nondeliverable currency forward contracts to
manage its currency exchange exposure related to
short-term foreign currency-denominated monetary
assets and liabilities and foreign currency linked
revenues.
The Globe Group also enters into long-term currency
and interest rate swap contracts to manage its foreign
currency and interest rate exposures arising from its
long-term loan. Such swap contracts are sometimes
entered into in combination with options.
2.6.4.1.7.2 Recognition and measurement
Derivative financial instruments are initially
recognized at fair value on the date on which a
derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives
are carried as financial assets when the fair value is
positive and as financial liabilities when the fair
value is negative. The method of recognizing the
resulting gain or loss depends on whether the
derivative is designated as a hedge of an identified
risk and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment.
The objective of hedge accounting is to match the
impact of the hedged item and the hedging
instrument in profit or loss. To qualify for hedge
accounting, the hedging relationship must comply
with strict requirements such as the designation of the
derivative as a hedge of an identified risk exposure,
hedge documentation, probability of occurrence of
*SGVMC114676*
- 17 the forecasted transaction in a cash flow hedge,
assessment (both prospective and retrospective bases)
and measurement of hedge effectiveness, and
reliability of the measurement bases of the derivative
instruments.
Upon inception of the hedge, the Globe Group
documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument and the hedged item, its risk management
objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge
transactions, and the details of the hedging
instrument and the hedged item. The Globe Group
also documents its hedge effectiveness assessment
methodology, both at the hedge inception and on an
ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives that are
used in hedging transactions are highly effective in
offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of
hedged items.
Hedge effectiveness is likewise measured, with any
ineffectiveness being reported immediately in profit
or loss.
2.6.4.1.7.3 Types of Hedges
The Globe Group designates derivatives which
qualify as accounting hedges as either: (a) a hedge of
the fair value of a recognized fixed rate asset, liability
or unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge);
or (b) a hedge of the cash flow variability of
recognized floating rate asset and liability or
forecasted sales transaction (cash flow hedge).
Fair Value Hedges
Fair value hedges are hedges of the exposure to
variability in the fair value of recognized assets,
liabilities or unrecognized firm commitments. The
gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and
qualifying as a fair value hedge, as well as the
offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable
to the hedged risk, are recognized in profit or loss in
the same accounting period. Hedge effectiveness is
determined based on the hedge ratio of the fair value
changes of the hedging instrument and the underlying
hedged item. When the hedge ceases to be highly
effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, there were
no derivatives designated and accounted for as fair
value hedges.
*SGVMC114676*
- 18 Cash Flow Hedges
The Globe Group designates as cash flow hedges the
following derivatives: (a) interest rate swaps as cash
flow hedge of the interest rate risk of a floating rate
obligation and (b) certain foreign exchange forward
contracts as cash flow hedge of expected United
States Dollar (USD) revenues.
A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to
variability in future cash flows related to a
recognized asset, liability or a forecasted sales
transaction. Changes in the fair value of a hedging
instrument that qualifies as a highly effective cash
flow hedge are recognized in “Other reserves,” which
is a component of equity. Any hedge ineffectiveness
is immediately recognized in profit or loss.
If the hedged cash flow results in the recognition of a
nonfinancial asset or liability, gains and losses
previously recognized directly in equity are
transferred from equity and included in the initial
measurement of the cost or carrying value of the asset
or liability. Otherwise, for all other cash flow
hedges, gains and losses initially recognized in equity
are transferred from equity to profit or loss in the
same period or periods during which the hedged
forecasted transaction or recognized asset or liability
affect earnings.
Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when
the hedge ceases to be highly effective. When hedge
accounting is discontinued, the cumulative gains or
losses on the hedging instrument that has been
reported in “Other reserves” is retained in other
comprehensive income until the hedged transaction
impacts profit or loss. When the forecasted
transaction is no longer expected to occur, any net
cumulative gains or losses previously reported in
“Other reserves” is recognized immediately in profit
or loss.
The effective portion of the hedge transaction coming
from the fair value changes of the currency forwards
are subsequently recycled from equity to profit or
loss and is presented as part of the US dollar-based
revenues.
*SGVMC114676*
- 19 2.6.4.1.7.4 Other Derivative Instruments Not Accounted for as
Accounting Hedges
Certain freestanding derivative instruments that
provide economic hedges under the Globe Group’s
policies either do not qualify for hedge accounting or
are not designated as accounting hedges. Changes in
the fair values of derivative instruments not
designated as hedges are recognized immediately in
profit or loss. For bifurcated embedded derivatives in
financial and nonfinancial contracts that are not
designated or do not qualify as hedges, changes in the
fair values of such transactions are recognized in
profit or loss.
2.6.4.1.8
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net
amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial
position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal
right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the
case with master netting agreements; thus, the related assets
and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated
statements of financial position.
2.6.4.2 Impairment of Financial Assets
The Globe Group assesses at end of the reporting date whether a financial
asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
2.6.4.2.1
Assets carried at amortized cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on
financial assets carried at amortized cost (e.g. receivables)
has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the
difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the
asset’s original effective interest rate. Time value is
generally not considered when the effect of discounting is not
material. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through
the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall
be recognized in profit or loss.
The Globe Group first assesses whether objective evidence of
impairment exists individually for financial assets that are
individually significant, and individually or collectively for
financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is
determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists
for an individually assessed financial asset, whether
significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial
assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of
financial assets are collectively assessed for impairment.
*SGVMC114676*
- 20 Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for
which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are
not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss
decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any
subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in
profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset
does not exceed what should have been its amortized cost at
the reversal date.
With respect to receivables, the Globe Group performs a
regular review of the age and status of these accounts,
designed to identify accounts with objective evidence of
impairment and provide the appropriate allowance for
impairment losses. The review is accomplished using a
combination of specific and collective assessment
approaches, with the impairment losses being determined for
each risk grouping identified by the Globe Group.
2.6.4.2.1.1 Subscribers
Full allowance for impairment losses is provided
for receivables from permanently disconnected
wireless and wireline subscribers. Permanent
disconnections are made after a series of
collection steps following nonpayment by
postpaid subscribers. Such permanent
disconnections generally occur within a
predetermined period from billing date.
The allowance for impairment loss on wireless
subscriber accounts is determined based on the
results of the net flow to write-off methodology.
Net flow tables are derived from account-level
monitoring of subscriber accounts between
different age brackets, from current to 1 day past
due to 210 days past due. The net flow to writeoff methodology relies on the historical data of
net flow tables to establish a percentage (“net
flow rate”) of subscriber receivables that are
current or in any state of delinquency as of
reporting date that will eventually result in writeoff. The allowance for impairment losses is then
computed based on the outstanding balances of
the receivables at the end of reporting date and
the net flow rates determined for the current and
each delinquency bracket.
*SGVMC114676*
- 21 For active residential and business wireline voice
subscribers, full allowance is generally provided
for outstanding receivables that are past due by
90 and 150 days, respectively. Full allowance is
likewise provided for receivables from wireline
data corporate accounts that are past due by 150
days.
Regardless of the age of the account, additional
impairment losses are also made for wireless and
wireline accounts specifically identified to be
doubtful of collection when there is information
on financial incapacity after considering the other
contractual obligations between the Globe Group
and the subscriber.
2.6.4.2.1.2 Traffic
For traffic receivables, impairment losses are
made for accounts specifically identified to be
doubtful of collection regardless of the age of the
account. For receivable balances that appear
doubtful of collection, allowance is provided
after review of the status of settlement with each
carrier and roaming partner, taking into
consideration normal payment cycles, recovery
experience and credit history of the parties.
2.6.4.2.1.3 Other receivables
Other receivables from dealers, credit card
companies and other parties are provided with
allowance for impairment losses if specifically
identified to be doubtful of collection regardless
of the age of the account.
2.6.4.2.2
AFS investments carried at cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has
been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not
carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably
measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must
be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instrument, the
amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of
return for a similar financial asset. The carrying amount of
the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
*SGVMC114676*
- 22 2.6.4.2.3
AFS investments carried at fair value
If an AFS investment carried at fair value is impaired, an
amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any
principal repayment and amortization) and its current fair
value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in
profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss.
Reversals of impairment losses in respect of equity
instruments classified as AFS are not recognized in profit or
loss. Reversals of impairment losses on debt instruments are
made through profit or loss if the increase in fair value of the
instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring
after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss.
2.6.4.3 Derecognition of Financial Instruments
2.6.4.3.1
Financial Asset
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial
asset or part of a group of financial assets) is derecognized
where:
·
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired;
·
the Globe Group retains the right to receive cash flows
from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them
in full without material delay to a third party under a
“pass-through” arrangement; or
·
the Globe Group has transferred its rights to receive cash
flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership or (b)
has neither transferred nor retained the risk and rewards
of the asset but has transferred the control of the asset.
Where the Globe Group has transferred its rights to receive
cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor
transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the
extent of the Globe Group’s continuing involvement in the
asset.
2.6.4.3.2
Financial Liability
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired.
Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such
an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of
the original liability and the recognition of a new liability,
and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognized in profit or loss.
*SGVMC114676*
- 23 2.6.5
Inventories and Supplies
Inventories and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV).
NRV for handsets, modems and accessories is the selling price in the ordinary course
of business less direct costs to sell, while NRV for SIM packs, call cards, spare parts
and supplies consists of the related replacement costs. In determining the NRV, the
Globe Group considers any adjustment necessary for obsolescence, which is generally
provided 100% for nonmoving items after a certain period. Cost is determined using
the moving average method.
2.6.6
Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying
amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets are classified as held for
sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than
through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is
highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
The Globe Group is committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Property and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not
depreciated/amortized.
2.6.7
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, except land, are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. Land is stated at cost less any
impairment losses.
The initial cost of an item of property and equipment includes its purchase price and
any cost attributable in bringing the property and equipment to its intended location
and working condition. Cost also includes: (a) interest and other financing charges on
borrowed funds used to finance the acquisition of property and equipment to the
extent incurred during the period of installation and construction; and (b) asset
retirement obligations (ARO) specifically on property and equipment
installed/constructed on leased properties.
Subsequent costs are capitalized as part of property and equipment only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Globe
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged against current operations as incurred.
Assets under construction (AUC) are carried at cost and transferred to the related
property and equipment account when the construction or installation and related
activities necessary to prepare the property and equipment for their intended use are
complete, and the property and equipment are ready for service.
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment commences once the
property and equipment are available for use and computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives (EUL) of the property and equipment.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their EUL or the
corresponding lease terms.
*SGVMC114676*
- 24 The EUL of property and equipment are reviewed annually based on expected asset
utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider expected
future technological developments and market behavior to ensure that the period of
depreciation and amortization is consistent with the expected pattern of economic
benefits from items of property and equipment.
When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the
related accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment losses are removed
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited to or charged against
current operations.
2.6.8
ARO
The Globe Group is legally required under various contracts to restore leased property
to its original condition and to bear the cost of dismantling and deinstallation at the
end of the contract period. The Globe Group recognizes the present value of these
obligations and capitalizes these costs as part of the balances of the related property
and equipment accounts, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful
life of the related property and equipment or the contract period, whichever is shorter.
The amount of ARO is accrued and such accretion is recognized as interest expense.
2.6.9
Investment Property
Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Expenditures incurred after the investment property has been put in operation, such as
repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged against income in the period in
which the costs are incurred.
Depreciation of investment property is computed using the straight-line method over
its useful life, regardless of utilization. The EUL and the depreciation method are
reviewed periodically to ensure that the period and method of depreciation are
consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of investment
properties.
Transfers are made to investment property, when, and only when, there is a change in
use, evidenced by the end of the owner occupation, commencement of an operating
lease to another party or completion of construction or development. Transfers are
made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use,
evidenced by the commencement of owner occupation or commencement of
development with the intention to sell.
Investment property is derecognized when it has either been disposed of or
permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal.
Any gain or loss on derecognition of an investment property is recognized in profit or
loss in the period of derecognition.
*SGVMC114676*
- 25 2.6.10 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of 1) costs incurred to acquire application software (not an
integral part of its related hardware or equipment) and telecommunications equipment
software licenses; and 2) intangible assets identified to exist during the acquisition of
EGG Group for its existing customer contracts. Costs directly associated with the
development of identifiable software that generate expected future benefits to the
Globe Group are recognized as intangible assets. All other costs of developing and
maintaining software programs are recognized as expense when incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less
accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. The EUL of intangible assets
with finite lives are assessed at the individual asset level. Intangible assets with finite
lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The periods and
method of amortization for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed
annually or more frequently when an indicator of impairment exists.
A gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and
is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income when the asset
is derecognized.
2.6.11 Business Combinations and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued
and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly
attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets (including previously unrecognized
intangible assets) acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a
business combination are measured initially at fair values at the date of acquisition,
irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business
combination over the Group’s share in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If the cost of the acquisition is less than
the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized
directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses. For the purpose of the impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a
business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s
cash-generating units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are
assigned to those units.
Goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit is included in the carrying amount of the
CGU being disposed when determining the gain or loss on disposal. For partial
disposal of operation within the CGU, the goodwill associated with the disposed
operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining gain
or loss on disposal and measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation
disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained, unless another method better reflects
the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of.
*SGVMC114676*
- 26 2.6.12 Investments in Joint Ventures
Investments in joint ventures (JV) are accounted for under the equity method, less any
impairment losses. A JV is an entity, not being a subsidiary nor an associate, in which
the Globe Group exercises joint control together with one or more venturers.
Under the equity method, the investments in JV are carried in the consolidated
statements of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Globe
Group’s share in net assets of the JV, less any allowance for impairment losses. The
profit or loss includes Globe Group’s share in the results of operations of its JV.
Where there has been a change recognized directly in the JV’s equity, the Globe
Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in
other comprehensive income.
2.6.13 Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at the end of the reporting date
to determine whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, or whether
there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognized for an asset in
prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists
and when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the
asset or CGU to which the asset belongs is written down to its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in
use. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or investments or, if it is
not possible, for the CGU to which the asset belongs. For impairment loss on specific
assets or investments, the recoverable amount represents the net selling price.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged against operations in the year in
which it arises. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in estimate used to determine the recoverable amount of an asset,
however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been
determined (net of any accumulated depreciation and amortization for property and
equipment, investment property and intangible assets) had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is credited to
current operations.
For assessing impairment of goodwill, a test for impairment is performed annually and
when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is
determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group
of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU is
less than their carrying amount an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses
relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
*SGVMC114676*
- 27 2.6.14 Income Tax
2.6.14.1
Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax
authority. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the end of the
reporting period.
2.6.14.2
Deferred Income Tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on all
temporary differences, with certain exceptions, at the end of the reporting
period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences, with certain exceptions. Deferred income tax assets are
recognized for all deductible temporary differences, with certain
exceptions, and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess
minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income
tax and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO) to the extent that it is
probable that taxable income will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences and the carryforward benefits of unused
MCIT and NOLCO can be used.
Deferred income tax is not recognized when it arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting
income nor taxable income or loss. Deferred income tax liabilities are not
provided on nontaxable temporary differences associated with
investments in JV.
Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity or
other comprehensive income is included in the related equity or other
comprehensive income account and not in profit or loss.
The carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets are reviewed every
end of reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or
part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset, if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current
income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates
that are expected to apply in the year when the assets are realized or the
liabilities are settled based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted as at the end of the reporting period.
*SGVMC114676*
- 28 Movements in the deferred income tax assets and liabilities arising from
changes in tax rates are charged or credited to income for the period.
2.6.15 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when: (a) the Globe Group has present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event; (b) it is probable (i.e., more likely than not)
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation; and (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed every end of the reporting period and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate,
the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense under
“Financing costs” in consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
2.6.16 Share-based Payment Transactions
Certain employees (including directors) of the Globe Group receive remuneration in
the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in
exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transactions”) (see Note 18).
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the
fair value at the date at which they are granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions,
vesting conditions, including performance conditions, other than market conditions
(conditions linked to share prices), shall not be taken into account when estimating the
fair value of the shares or share options at the measurement date. Instead, vesting
conditions are taken into account in estimating the number of equity instruments that
will vest.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in profit or loss, together with a
corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the service conditions are
fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to
the award (‘vesting date’). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled
transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which
the vesting period has expired and the number of awards that, in the opinion of the
management of the Globe Group at that date, based on the best available estimate of
the number of equity instruments, will ultimately vest.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards
where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting
irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other
performance conditions are satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is
recognized as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is
recognized for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the
modification, measured at the date of modification.
*SGVMC114676*
- 29 Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date
of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized
immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new
awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in
the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as
additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (EPS) (see Note 27).
2.6.17 Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a deduction from equity. When
the shares are retired, the capital stock account is reduced by its par value and the
excess of cost over par value upon retirement is debited to additional paid-in capital to
the extent of the specific or average additional paid-in capital when the shares were
issued and to retained earnings for the remaining balance.
2.6.18 Pension Cost
Pension cost is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. This
method reflects services rendered by employees up to the date of valuation and
incorporates assumptions concerning employees’ projected salaries. Actuarial
valuations are conducted with sufficient regularity, with option to accelerate when
significant changes to underlying assumptions occur. Pension cost includes current
service cost, interest cost, expected return on any plan assets, actuarial gains and
losses and the effect of any curtailment or settlement.
The net pension asset recognized by the Globe Group in respect of the defined benefit
pension plan is the lower of: (a) the fair value of the plan assets less the present value
of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period, together with
adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses that shall be recognized in later
periods; or (b) the total of any cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past
service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of
refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The defined
benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected
unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined
by using risk-free interest rates of government bonds that have terms to maturity
approximating the terms of the related pension liabilities or by applying a single
weighted average discount rate that reflects the estimated timing and amount of
benefit payments.
A portion of actuarial gains and losses is recognized as income or expense if the
cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous
reporting period exceeded the greater of 10% of the present value of defined benefit
obligation or 10% of the fair value of plan assets. These gains and losses are
recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees
participating in the plan.
*SGVMC114676*
- 30 2.6.19 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are capitalized if these are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs
commences when the activities for the asset’s intended use are in progress and
expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized
until the assets are ready for their intended use. These costs are amortized using the
straight-line method over the EUL of the related property and equipment. If the
resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment
loss is recognized. Borrowing costs include interest charges and other related
financing charges incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds, as well as
exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings used to finance these
projects to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Premiums on long-term debt are included under the “Long-term debt” account in the
consolidated statements of financial position and are amortized using the effective
interest rate method.
Other borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which these are
incurred.
2.6.20 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the
substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of
the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the
arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception
of the lease only if one of the following applies:
·
·
·
·
there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the
arrangement;
a renewal option is exercised or an extension granted, unless that term of the
renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term;
there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a
specified asset; or
there is a substantial change to the asset.
Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the
date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for any of the
scenarios above, and at the date of renewal or extension period for the second
scenario.
2.6.20.1 Group as Lessee
Finance leases, which transfer to the Globe Group substantially all the risks
and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at
the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower,
at the present value of the minimum lease payments and included in the
“Property and equipment” account with the corresponding liability to the
lessor included in the “Other long-term liabilities” account in the
consolidated statements of financial position. Lease payments are
apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability
so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Finance charges are charged directly as “Interest expense” in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
*SGVMC114676*
- 31 Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the EUL of the
assets and the respective lease terms.
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease
payments are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
2.6.20.2 Group as Lessor
Finance leases, where the Globe Group transfers substantially all the risk
and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the lessee, are
included in the consolidated statements of financial position under
“Prepayments and other current assets” account. A lease receivable is
recognized equivalent to the net investment (asset cost) in the lease. All
income resulting from the receivable is included in the “Interest income”
account in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Leases where the Globe Group does not transfer substantially all the risk
and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the
carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on
the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as
revenue in the period in which they are earned.
2.6.21 General, Selling and Administrative Expenses
General, selling and administrative expenses, except for rent, are charged against
current operations as incurred.
2.6.22 Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional and presentation currency of the Globe Group is the Philippine Peso,
except for EHL whose functional currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD).
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling
at the end of reporting period.
Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency
are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction and are
not subsequently restated. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was
determined. All foreign exchange differences are taken to profit or loss, except where
it relates to equity securities where gains or losses are recognized directly in other
comprehensive income.
As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of EHL are translated into the
presentation currency of the Globe Group at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end
of reporting period and its profit or loss is translated at the monthly weighted average
exchange rates during the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation
are taken directly to a separate component of equity under “Other reserves” account.
Upon disposal of EHL, the cumulative translation adjustments relating to EHL shall
be recognized in profit or loss.
*SGVMC114676*
- 32 2.6.23 EPS
Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings applicable to common stock by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, after giving retroactive
effect for any stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect for any
stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits during the period, and adjusted for
the effect of dilutive options and dilutive convertible preferred shares. Outstanding
stock options will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when
the average market price of the underlying common share during the period exceeds
the exercise price of the option. If the required dividends to be declared on
convertible preferred shares divided by the number of equivalent common shares,
assuming such shares are converted, would decrease the basic EPS, then such
convertible preferred shares would be deemed dilutive. Where the effect of the
assumed conversion of the preferred shares and the exercise of all outstanding options
have anti-dilutive effect, basic and diluted EPS are stated at the same amount.
2.6.24 Operating Segment
The Globe Group’s major operating business units are the basis upon which the Globe
Group reports its primary segment information. The Globe Group’s business
segments consist of: (1) mobile communication services; (2) wireline communication
services; and (3) others. The Globe Group generally accounts for intersegment
revenues and expenses at agreed transfer prices.
2.6.25 Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
These are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated
financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is
probable.
2.6.26 Events after the Reporting Period
Any post period-end event up to the date of approval of the BOD of the consolidated
financial statements that provides additional information about the Globe Group’s
position at the end of reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in the consolidated
financial statements. Any post period-end event that is not an adjusting event is
disclosed in the consolidated financial statements when material.
3. Management’s Significant Accounting Judgments and Use of Estimates
Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with PFRS
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and assumptions used
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation
of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual
results could differ from such estimates.
*SGVMC114676*
- 33 Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and
other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
3.1 Judgments
3.1.1
Leases
The Globe Group has entered into various lease agreements as lessee and lessor. The
Globe Group has determined that it retains all the significant risks and rewards on
equipment and office spaces leased out on operating lease and various items of
property and equipment acquired through finance lease.
3.1.2
Fair value of financial instruments
Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the
consolidated statements of financial position cannot be derived from active markets,
they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of
mathematical models. The input to these models is taken from observable markets
where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in
establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of liquidity and model
inputs such as correlation and volatility for longer-dated derivatives.
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of financial assets and
liabilities that were determined using valuation techniques, inputs and assumptions are
based on market observable data and conditions and reflect appropriate risk
adjustments that market participants would make for credit and liquidity risks existing
as of the periods indicated.
The Globe Group considers a market as active if it is one in which transactions take
place regularly on an arm’s-length basis. On the other hand, the Globe Group
considers a market as inactive if there is a significant decline in the volume and level
of trading activity and the available prices vary significantly over time among market
participants or the prices are not current.
3.1.3
HTM investments
The classification as HTM investments requires significant judgment. In making this
judgment, the Globe Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such
investments to maturity. If the Globe Group fails to keep these investments to
maturity other than in certain specific circumstances - for example, selling an
insignificant amount close to maturity - it will be required to reclassify the entire
portfolio as AFS investments. The investments would therefore be measured at fair
value and not at amortized cost.
3.1.4
Financial assets not quoted in an active market
The Globe Group classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the
asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a
financial asset is quoted in an active market is the determination on whether quoted
prices are readily and regularly available, and whether those prices represent actual
and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s-length basis.
*SGVMC114676*
- 34 3.1.5
Allocation of goodwill to cash-generating units
The Globe Group allocated the carrying amount of goodwill to the mobile content and
application development services business CGU, for the Group believes that this
CGU represents the lowest level within the Globe Group at which the goodwill is
monitored for internal management reporting purposes; and not larger than an
operating segment determined in accordance with PFRS 8.
3.1.6
Determination of whether the Globe Group is acting as a principal or an agent
The Globe Group assesses its revenue arrangements against the following criteria to
determine whether it is acting as a principal or an agent:
· whether the Globe Group has primary responsibility for providing the goods and
services;
· whether the Globe Group has inventory risk;
· whether the Globe Group has discretion in establishing prices; and
· whether the Globe Group bears the credit risk.
If the Globe Group has determined it is acting as a principal, the Group recognizes
revenue on a gross basis with the amount remitted to the other party being accounted
for as part of costs and expenses.
If the Globe Group has determined it is acting as an agent, only the net amount
retained is recognized as revenue.
The Globe Group assessed its revenue arrangements and concluded that it is acting as
principal in some arrangements and as an agent in other arrangements.
3.2 Estimates
3.2.1
Revenue recognition
The Globe Group’s revenue recognition policies require management to make use
of estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of revenues
and receivables.
The Globe Group estimates the fair value of points awarded under its loyalty
programmes, which are within the scope of Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13,
based on historical trend of availment. As of December 31, 2010 and 2008, the
estimated liability for unredeemed points included in “Unearned revenues”
amounted to =
P121.81 million and =
P8.05 million, respectively. There are no
loyalty programs qualifying under IFRIC 13 as of December 31, 2009.
As a result of continuous improvements in the Globe Group’s estimation process,
the Group recognized a one-time upward adjustment (included in the “Service
revenues” account of the statements of comprehensive income) amounting to
=526.00 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 representing prepaid load credits
P
that have either expired or have already been used up.
*SGVMC114676*
- 35 3.2.2
Allowance for impairment losses on receivables
The Globe Group maintains an allowance for impairment losses at a level
considered adequate to provide for potential uncollectible receivables. The Globe
Group performs a regular review of the age and status of these accounts, designed
to identify accounts with objective evidence of impairment and provide the
appropriate allowance for impairment losses. The review is accomplished using a
combination of specific and collective assessment approaches, with the
impairment losses being determined for each risk grouping identified by the
Globe Group. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would
differ if the Globe Group made different judgments or utilized different
methodologies. An increase in allowance for impairment losses would increase
the recorded operating expenses and decrease current assets.
Impairment losses on receivables for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009
and 2008 amounted to =
P1,285.53 million, =
P754.63 million and P
=979.78 million,
respectively (see Note 23). Receivables, net of allowance for impairment losses,
amounted to =
P8,374.12million, P
=6,583.23 million and =
P7,473.35 million as of
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively (see Note 4).
3.2.3
Obsolescence and market decline
The Globe Group, in determining the NRV, considers any adjustment necessary
for obsolescence which is generally provided 100% for nonmoving items after a
certain period. The Globe Group adjusts the cost of inventory to the recoverable
value at a level considered adequate to reflect market decline in the value of the
recorded inventories. The Globe Group reviews the classification of the
inventories and generally provides adjustments for recoverable values of new,
actively sold and slow-moving inventories by reference to prevailing values of the
same inventories in the market.
The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if
different judgments were made or different estimates were utilized. An increase
in allowance for obsolescence and market decline would increase recorded
operating expenses and decrease current assets.
Inventory obsolescence and market decline for the years ended December 31,
2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to P
=42.12 million, P
=58.74 million and
=262.10 million, respectively (see Note 23).
P
Inventories and supplies, net of allowances, amounted to =
P1,839.33 million,
P1,653.75 million and =
=
P1,124.32 million as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and
2008, respectively (see Note 5).
3.2.4
ARO
The Globe Group is legally required under various contracts to restore leased
property to its original condition and to bear the costs of dismantling and
deinstallation at the end of the contract period. These costs are accrued based on
an in-house estimate, which incorporates estimates of asset retirement costs and
interest rates. The Globe Group recognizes the present value of these obligations
and capitalizes the present value of these costs as part of the balance of the related
property and equipment accounts, which are being depreciated and amortized on a
*SGVMC114676*
- 36 straight-line basis over the EUL of the related asset or the lease term, whichever is
shorter. The market risk premium was excluded from the estimate of the fair
value of the ARO because a reasonable and reliable estimate of the market risk
premium is not obtainable.
Since a market risk premium is unavailable, fair value is assumed to be the
present value of the obligations. The present value of dismantling costs is
computed based on an average credit adjusted risk free rate of 9.27%, 10.09% and
11.17% in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Assumptions used to compute
ARO are reviewed and updated annually.
The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if
different judgments were made or different estimates were utilized. An increase
in ARO would increase recorded operating expenses and increase noncurrent
liabilities.
The Globe Group updated its assumptions on timing of settlement and estimated
cash outflows arising from ARO on its leased premises. As a result of the
changes in estimates, the Globe group adjusted downward its ARO liability
(included under “Other long-term liabilities” account) by P
=64.45 million,
=7.20 million and =
P
P714.78 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008 against the book value
of the assets on leased premises (see Note 15).
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, ARO amounted to P
=1,341.53 million,
=1,269.29 million and =
P
P1,081.41 million, respectively (see Note 15).
3.2.5
EUL of property and equipment, investment property and intangible assets
Globe Group reviews annually the EUL of these assets based on expected asset
utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider
expected future technological developments and market behavior. It is possible
that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these
estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned.
A reduction in the EUL of property and equipment, investment property and
intangible assets would increase the recorded depreciation and amortization
expense and decrease noncurrent assets.
The EUL of property and equipment of the Globe Group are as follows:
Years
Telecommunications equipment:
Tower
Switch
Outside plant, cellsite structures
and improvements
Distribution dropwires and other
wireline assets
Cellular equipment and others
Buildings
Leasehold improvements
Investments in cable systems
Office equipment

Intangible assets comprising of licenses and application software are amortized
over the EUL of the related hardware or equipment ranging from 3 to 10 years or
life of the telecommunications equipment where it is assigned. Customer
contracts acquired during business combination are amortized over 5 years.
In 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Globe Group changed the EUL of certain wireless
and wireline telecommunications equipment resulting from new information
affecting the expected utilization of these assets. The net effect of the change in
EUL resulted in higher depreciation of =
P119.03 million and =
P347.62 million in
2010 and 2009, respectively, and lower depreciation of P
=159.76 million in 2008.
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, property and equipment, investment
property and intangible assets amounted to P
=104,972.70 million, P
=104,586.34
million and P
=96,811.28 million, respectively (see Notes 7, 8 and 9).
3.2.6
Asset impairment
3.2.6.1 Impairment of nonfinancial assets other than goodwill
The Globe Group assesses impairment of assets (property and equipment,
investment property, intangible assets and investments in joint ventures)
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Globe
Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review
include the following:
·
·
·
significant underperformance relative to expected historical or
projected future operating results;
significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the
strategy for the overall business; and
significant negative industry or economic trends.
An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an
asset or investment exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. The
net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an
arm’s length transaction while value in use is the present value of
estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of
an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable
amounts are estimated for individual assets or investments or, if it is not
possible, for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
For impairment loss on specific assets or investments, the recoverable
amount represents the net selling price.
*SGVMC114676*
- 38 For the Globe Group, the CGU is the combined mobile and wireline asset
groups of Globe Telecom and Innove. This asset grouping is predicated
upon the requirement contained in Executive Order (EO) No.109 and RA
No.7925 requiring licensees of Cellular Mobile Telephone System
(CMTS) and International Digital Gateway Facility (IGF) services to
provide 400,000 and 300,000 LEC lines, respectively, as a condition for
the grant of such licenses.
In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected
to be generated from the continued use of the assets or holding of an
investment, the Globe Group is required to make estimates and
assumptions that can materially affect the consolidated financial
statements.
Property and equipment, investment property, intangible assets, and
investments in joint ventures amounted to =
P105,169.71 million,
=104,820.14 million and =
P
P96,884.81 million as of December 31, 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively (see Notes 7, 8, 9 and 10).
3.2.6.2 Impairment of goodwill
The Globe Group’s impairment test for goodwill is based on value in use
calculations that use a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows are
derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include
restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or
significant future investments that will enhance the asset base of the CGU
being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount
rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected
future cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying value of goodwill
amounted to =
P327.13 million (see Note 9).
Goodwill acquired through business combination with EGG Group was
allocated to the mobile content and applications development services
business CGU, which is part of the “Others” reporting segment.
The recoverable amount of the CGU which exceeds the carrying amount
by =
P165.30 million and =
P63.00 million as of December 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively, has been determined based on value in use
calculations using cash flow projections from financial budgets covering a
5-year period. The pretax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is
12% in 2010 and 2009, and cash flows beyond the 5-year period are
extrapolated using a 3% long-term growth rate in 2010 and 2009.
3.2.7
Deferred income tax assets
The carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred income tax assets to be utilized (see Note 24).
*SGVMC114676*
- 39 As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, Innove and EGG Group
has net deferred income tax assets amounting to P
=670.59 million,
=742.54 million and P
P
=523.72 million, respectively. As of December 31,
2010, 2009 and 2008, Globe Telecom has net deferred income tax
liabilities amounting to P
=4,620.49 million, P
=4,627.29 million and
=4,590.43 million, respectively (see Note 24). Globe Telecom and
P
Innove have no unrecognized deferred income tax assets as of
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. GXI has not recognized deferred
income tax assets since there is no assurance that GXI will generate
sufficient taxable income to allow all or part of it to be utilized. As of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, Innove and EGG Group’s recognized
deferred income tax assets from NOLCO amounted to =
P13.50 million
and P
=138.05 million and MCIT amounted to P
=0.95 million and
=46.71 million, respectively (see Note 24).
P
3.2.8
Financial assets and liabilities
Globe Group carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value,
which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgment.
While significant components of fair value measurement were determined
using verifiable objective evidence (i.e., foreign exchange rates, interest
rates), the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Globe
Group utilized different valuation methodologies. Any changes in fair
value of these financial assets and liabilities would affect the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of
changes in equity.
Financial assets comprising AFS investments and derivative assets
carried at fair values as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, amounted
to =
P121.77 million, P
=118.03 million and P
=230.34 million, respectively,
and financial liabilities comprising of derivative liabilities carried at
fair values as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, amounted to
=245.87 million, P
P
=92.46 million and P
=185.65 million, respectively
(see Note 28.10).
3.2.9
Pension and other employee benefits
The determination of the obligation and cost of pension is dependent on
the selection of certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts.
Those assumptions include, among others, discount rates, expected
returns on plan assets and salary rates increase (see Note 18). In
accordance with PAS 19, Employee Benefits, actual results that differ
from the Globe Group’s assumptions, subject to the 10% corridor test, are
accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally
affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future
periods.
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, Globe Group has
unrecognized net actuarial losses of P
=781.01 million, =
P799.54 million,
and P
=115.40 million, respectively (see Note 18.2).
*SGVMC114676*
- 40 The Globe Group also determines the cost of equity-settled transactions
using assumptions on the appropriate pricing model. Significant
assumptions for the cost of share-based payments include, among others,
share price, exercise price, option life, risk-free interest rate, expected
dividend and expected volatility rate.
Cost of share-based payments in 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to
=104.79 million, P
P
=126.44 million and P
=182.32 million, respectively (see
Notes 16 and 18.1).
The Globe Group also estimates other employee benefit obligations and
expenses, including cost of paid leaves based on historical leave
availments of employees, subject to the Globe Group’s policy. These
estimates may vary depending on the future changes in salaries and actual
experiences during the year.
The accrued balance of other employee benefits (included in the
“Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account and in the “Other
long-term liabilities” account in the consolidated statements of financial
position) as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to
=406.14 million, P
P
=371.61 million and P
=340.47 million, respectively.
While the Globe Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and
appropriate, significant differences between actual experiences and
assumptions may materially affect the cost of employee benefits and
related obligations.
3.2.10 Contingencies
Globe Telecom and Innove are currently involved in various legal
proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of
these claims has been developed in consultation with internal and external
counsel handling Globe Telecom and Innove’s defense in these matters
and is based upon an analysis of potential results. Globe Telecom and
Innove currently do not believe that these proceedings will have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated statements of financial
position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be
materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of
the strategies relating to these proceedings (see Note 26).
3.2.11 Purchase Price Allocation
As of December 31, 2008, the purchase price allocation relating to the
Globe Group’s acquisition of EGG Group has been prepared on a
preliminary basis. The provisional fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed as of date of acquisition were based on the net book
values of the identifiable assets and liabilities since these approximate the
fair values. The difference between the total consideration and the net
assets amounting to P
=346.99 million was initially allocated to goodwill as
of December 31, 2008.
*SGVMC114676*
- 41 The valuation of the intangible assets was completed in June 2009 and
showed that the fair value at the date of acquisition was P
=28.38 million.
The 2008 comparative information has been restated to reflect this
adjustment. The value of intangible assets and deferred tax liability
increased by P
=28.38 million and P
=8.51 million, respectively. This
resulted in a reduction in goodwill by P
=19.87 million (see Note 9).

Globe Telecom and Innove have entered into finance lease agreements for various
items of property and equipment. The said leased assets are capitalized and are
depreciated over the EUL of three years, which is also equivalent to the lease term.
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, residual present value of net minimum
lease payments due and receivable are immaterial.
25.2
Agreements and Commitments with Other Carriers
Globe Telecom and Innove have existing international telecommunications service
agreements with various foreign administrations and interconnection agreements with
local telecommunications companies for their various services. Globe also has
international roaming agreements with other foreign operators, which allow its
subscribers access to foreign networks. The agreements provide for sharing of toll
revenues derived from the mutual use of telecommunication networks.
25.3
Arrangements and Commitments with Suppliers
Globe Telecom and Innove have entered into agreements with various suppliers for
the development or construction, delivery and installation of property and equipment.
Under the terms of these agreements, advance payments are made to suppliers and
delivery, installation, development or construction commences only when purchase
orders are served. While the development or construction is in progress, project costs
are accrued based on the billings received. Billings are based on the progress of the
development or construction and advance payments are being applied proportionately
to the milestone billings. When development or construction and installation are
completed and the property and equipment is ready for service, the balance of the
value of the related purchase orders is accrued. In 2009, the Globe Group reclassified
its Advances to Suppliers and Contractors to “Prepayments and other current assets”
based on agreed contract terms. The impact of the reclassification is an increase in
prepayment and other current assets by P
=1,143.89 million and =
P2,114.20 million as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively (see Note 6).
The consolidated accrued project costs as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
included in the “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account in the consolidated
statements of financial position amounted to P
=8,638.12 million, P
=8,081.68 million and
=5,258.62 million, respectively (see Note 12). As of December 31, 2010, the
P
consolidated expected future billings on the unaccrued portion of purchase orders
issued amounted to =
P11,822.92 million. The settlement of these liabilities is
dependent on the payment terms and project milestones agreed with the suppliers and
contractors. As of December 31, 2010, the unapplied advances made to suppliers and
contractors relating to purchase orders issued amounted to =
P764.70 million
(see Note 6).
25.4
Agreements with C2C
In 2001, Globe Telecom signed a cable equipment supply agreement with C2C. In
March 2002, Globe Telecom entered into an equipment lease agreement for the said
equipment with GB21 Hong Kong Limited (GB21).
*SGVMC114676*
- 70 Subsequently, GB21, in consideration of C2C’s agreement to assume all payment
obligations pursuant to the lease agreement, assigned all its rights, obligations and
interest in the equipment lease agreement to C2C. As a result of the said assignment
of payables by GB21 to C2C, Globe Telecom’s liability arising from the cable
equipment supply agreement with C2C was effectively converted into a noninterest
bearing long-term obligation accounted for at net present value under PAS 39
starting 2005 with carrying values amounting to =
P642.31 million, P
=735.94 million and
=821.81 million as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively (see Note 15).

On November 17, 2009, Globe Telecom and Pacnet Cable Ltd. (Pacnet), formerly
C2C, signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to terminate and unwind their
Landing Party Agreement dated August 15, 2000 (LPA). The MOA further requires
Globe Telecom, being duly licensed and authorized by the NTC to land the C2C
Cable Network in the Philippines and operate the C2C Cable Landing Station (CLS)
in Nasugbu, Batangas, Philippines, to transfer to Pacnet’s designated qualified
partner, the license of the C2C CLS, the CLS, a portion of the property on which the
CLS is situated, certain equipment and associated facilities thereof.
In return, Pacnet will compensate Globe Telecom in cash and by way of C2C cable
capacities deliverable upon completion of certain closing conditions. The MOA also
provided for novation of abovementioned equipment supply and lease agreements and
reciprocal options for Globe Telecom to purchase future capacities from Pacnet and
Pacnet to purchase backhaul and ducts from Globe Telecom at agreed prices.
In the second quarter of 2010, the specific equipment, portion of the property and
facilities and the liabilities associated with the transfer were identified and were
classified as current and shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial
position as “Assets classified as held for sale” and “Liabilities directly associated with
the assets classified as held for sale”.

Globe Telecom signed a Construction Maintenance Agreement with 5 other
international carriers to construct the SJC system, a 6-fiber pair, high capacity
submarine cable system that will link Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines
and Japan. Globe Telecom’s estimated investment for this project amounts to
USD60.00 million and total expenditures incurred was at 15% as of
December 31, 2010.
25.8
Commitment to increase GXI’s paid-up capital
On May 5, 2009, the BOD of Globe Telecom approved the issuance of a guarantee to
the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) for the proposal of GXI to increase its paid-up
capital to P
=100.00 million on a staggered basis over a period of two (2) years to meet
the required minimum capital and qualify as E-Money Issuer-Others in compliance
with BSP Circular No. 649. On August 27, 2009, the Monetary Board of the BSP
approved GXI’s compliance with this circular under Resolution No. 1223.
On August 3, 2010, the BOD of Globe Telecom approved the transfer of GXI’s
related assets booked under Globe Telecom to GXI books in compliance with BSP’s
first tranche requirement to increase GXI’s paid up capital to at least P
=50.00 million
by 2010. Globe Telecom made the additional capital infusion to GXI through transfer
of assets and GXI recorded the assets at its fair value amount of P
=53.69 million
increasing its total paid-up capital to P
=82.69 million as of September 30, 2010. After
consolidation, where the additional infusion and transfer of assets are eliminated, the
assets remain under Globe Telecom at its net book value amount of =
P20.38 million.

26. Contingencies
On July 23, 2009, the NTC issued NTC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 05-07-2009 (Guidelines
on Unit of Billing of Mobile Voice Service). The MC provides that the maximum unit of billing
for the cellular mobile telephone service (CMTS) whether postpaid or prepaid shall be six (6)
seconds per pulse. The rate for the first two (2) pulses, or equivalent if lower period per pulse is
used, may be higher than the succeeding pulses to recover the cost of the call set-up. Subscribers
may still opt to be billed on a one (1) minute per pulse basis or to subscribe to unlimited service
offerings or any service offerings if they actively and knowingly enroll in the scheme.
On December 28, 2010, the CA rendered its decision declaring null and void and reversing the
decisions of the NTC in the rates applications cases for having been issued in violation of Globe
and the other carrier’s constitutional and statutory right to due process. However, while the
decision is in Globe’s favor, there is a provision in the decision that NTC did not violate the right
of petitioners to due process when it declared via circular that the per pulse billing scheme shall be
the default.
Last January 21, 2011, Globe and two other telecom carriers, filed their respective Motions for
Partial Reconsideration (MR) on the pronouncement that “the Per Pulse Billing Scheme shall be
the default.” The MR is pending resolution as of February 8, 2011.
The Globe Group is contingently liable for various claims arising in the ordinary conduct of
business and certain tax assessments which are either pending decision by the courts or are being
contested, the outcome of which are not presently determinable. In the opinion of management
and legal counsel, the eventual liability under these claims, if any, will not have a material or
adverse effect on the Globe Group’s financial position and results of operations.

28.1
General
The Globe Group adopts an expanded corporate governance approach in managing its
business risks. An Enterprise Risk Management Policy was developed to systematically
view the risks and to provide a better understanding of the different risks that could
threaten the achievement of the Globe Group’s mission, vision, strategies, and goals, and
to provide emphasis on how management and employees play a vital role in achieving the
Globe Group’s mission of transforming and enriching lives through communications.
The policies are not intended to eliminate risk but to manage it in such a way that
opportunities to create value for the stakeholders are achieved. Globe Group risk
management takes place in the context of the normal business processes such as strategic
planning, business planning, operational and support processes.
The application of these policies is the responsibility of the BOD through the Chief
Executive Officer. The Chief Financial Officer and concurrent Chief Risk Officer
champions and oversees the entire risk management function. Risk owners have been
identified for each risk and they are responsible for coordinating and continuously
improving risk strategies, processes and measures on an enterprise-wide basis in
accordance with established business objectives.
The risks are managed through the delegation of management and financial authority and
individual accountability as documented in employment contracts, consultancy contracts,
letters of authority, letters of appointment, performance planning and evaluation forms,
key result areas, terms of reference and other policies that provide guidelines for
managing specific risks arising from the Globe Group’s business operations and
environment.
The Globe Group continues to monitor and manage its financial risk exposures according
to its BOD approved policies.
The succeeding discussion focuses on Globe Group’s capital and financial risk
management.
28.2
Capital and Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The primary objective of the Globe Group’s capital management is to ensure that it
maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business
and maximize shareholder value.
The Globe Group monitors its use of capital using leverage ratios, such as debt to total
capitalization and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and
its financial position.
The Globe Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The ratio of
debt to total capitalization for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was at
52%, 50% and 45%, respectively.
*SGVMC114676*
- 74 The main purpose of the Globe Group’s financial risk management is to fund its
operations and capital expenditures. The risks arising from the use of financial
instruments are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Globe Telecom also enters into
derivative transactions, the purpose of which is to manage the currency and interest rate
risk arising from its financial instruments.
Globe Telecom’s BOD reviews and approves the policies for managing each of these
risks. The Globe Group monitors market price risk arising from all financial instruments
and regularly reports financial management activities and the results of these activities to
the BOD.
The Globe Group’s risk management policies are summarized below:
28.2.1 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial
instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Globe Group is
mainly exposed to two types of market risk: interest rate risk and currency risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, AFS
investments, and derivative financial instruments.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The analyses exclude the impact of
movements in market variables on the carrying value of pension and other postretirement obligations, provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities of
foreign operations.
The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses:
·
·
·
The statement of financial position sensitivity relates to derivatives.
The sensitivity of the relevant income statement item is the effect of the
assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial
assets and financial liabilities held as at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
including the effect of hedge accounting.
The sensitivity of equity is calculated by considering the effect of any
associated cash flow hedges for the effects of the assumed changes the
underlying.
28.2.1.1 Interest Rate Risk
The Globe Group’s exposure to market risk from changes in interest
rates relates primarily to the Globe Group’s long-term debt obligations.
Please refer to table presented under 28.2.3 Liquidity Risk.
Globe Group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed
and variable rate debt, targeting a ratio of between 31-62% fixed rate
USD debt to total USD debt, and between 44-88% fixed rate PHP debt
to total PHP debt. To manage this mix in a cost-efficient manner, Globe
Group enters into interest rate swaps, in which Globe Group agrees to
exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and
variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon
notional principal amount.
*SGVMC114676*
- 75 After taking into account the effect of currency and interest rate swaps,
32% and 65% of the Globe Group’s USD and PHP borrowings,
respectively, as of December 31, 2010, 34% and 45% of the Globe
Group’s USD and PHP borrowings, respectively, as of December 31,
2009, 35% and 55% of the Globe Group’s USD and PHP borrowings,
respectively, as of December 31, 2008, are at a fixed rate of interest.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity of income before tax to
a reasonably possible change in interest rates after the impact of hedge
accounting, with all other variables held constant.

The impact to equity is caused by the change in marked to market value
of derivatives classified as hedges.
28.2.1.2 Foreign Exchange Risk
The Globe Group’s foreign exchange risk results primarily from
movements of the PHP against the USD with respect to USDdenominated financial assets, USD-denominated financial liabilities and
certain USD-denominated revenues. Majority of revenues are generated
in PHP, while substantially all of capital expenditures are in USD. In
addition, 15%, 14% and 12% of debt as of December 31, 2010, 2009
and 2008, respectively, are denominated in USD before taking into
account any swap and hedges.

- 77 The movement on the income before tax is a result of a change in the
fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated in a hedging
relationship and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in US
dollars, where the functional currency of the Group is Philippine Peso.
Although the derivatives have not been designated in a hedge
relationship, they act as economic hedge and will offset the underlying
transactions when they occur.
The movement in equity arises from changes in the fair values of
derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges.
In addition, the consolidated expected future payments on foreign
currency-denominated purchase orders related to capital projects
amounted to USD274.51 million, USD255.79 million, and USD264.66
million as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
settlement of these liabilities is dependent on the achievement of project
milestones and payment terms agreed with the suppliers and contractors.
Foreign exchange exposure assuming a +/-40 centavos in 2010, 2009
and 2008 movement in PHP to USD rate on commitments amounted to
=109.80 million, P
P
=102.32 million and P
=105.86 million gain or loss,
respectively.
The Globe Group’s foreign exchange risk management policy is to
maintain a hedged financial position, after taking into account expected
USD flows from operations and financing transactions. Globe Telecom
enters into short-term foreign currency forwards and long-term foreign
currency swap contracts in order to achieve this target.
28.2.2 Credit Risk
Applications for postpaid service are subjected to standard credit evaluation and
verification procedures. The Credit Management unit of the Globe Group
continuously reviews credit policies and processes and implements various credit
actions, depending on assessed risks, to minimize credit exposure. Receivable
balances of postpaid subscribers are being monitored on a regular basis and
appropriate credit treatments are applied at various stages of delinquency.
Likewise, net receivable balances from carriers of traffic are also being monitored
and subjected to appropriate actions to manage credit risk. The maximum credit
exposure relates to receivables net of any allowances provided.
With respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Globe Group,
which comprise cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, AFS financial
investments, HTM investments, and certain derivative instruments, the Globe
Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from the default of the counterparty, with a
maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Globe
Group’s investments comprise short-term bank deposits and government
securities. Credit risk from these investments is managed on a Globe Group basis.
For its investments with banks, the Globe Group has a counterparty risk
management policy which allocates investment limits based on counterparty
credit rating and credit risk profile.
*SGVMC114676*
- 78 The Globe Group makes a quarterly assessment of the credit standing of its
investment counterparties, and allocates investment limits based on size, liquidity,
profitability, and asset quality. For investments in government securities, these
are denominated in local currency and are considered to be relatively risk-free.
The usage of limits is regularly monitored. For its derivative counterparties, the
Globe Group deals only with counterparty banks with investment grade ratings
and large local banks. Credit ratings of derivative counterparties are reviewed
quarterly.
Following are the Globe Group exposures with its investment counterparties for
cash and cash equivalents as of December 31:

The Globe Group has not executed any credit guarantees in favor of other parties.
There is minimal exposure to credit concentration risk within the Globe Group.
Credit exposures from subscribers and carrier partners continue to be managed
closely for possible deterioration. When necessary, credit management measures
are proactively implemented and identified collection risks are being provided for
accordingly. Outstanding credit exposures from financial instruments are
monitored daily and allowable exposures are reviewed quarterly.
The tables below show the aging analysis of the Globe Group’s receivables as of

- 81 High quality accounts are accounts considered to be high value and have
consistently exhibited good paying habits. Medium quality accounts are active
accounts with propensity of deteriorating to mid-range age buckets. These
accounts do not flow through to permanent disconnection status as they generally
respond to credit actions and update their payments accordingly. Low quality
accounts are accounts which have probability of impairment based on historical
trend. These accounts show propensity to default in payment despite regular
follow-up actions and extended payment terms. Impairment losses are also
provided for these accounts based on net flow rate.
Traffic receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be high
quality given the reciprocal nature of the Globe Group’s interconnect and roaming
partner agreements with the carriers and the Globe Group’s historical collection
experience.
Other receivables are considered high quality accounts as these are substantially
from credit card companies and Globe dealers.
The following is a reconciliation of the changes in the allowance for impairment
losses for receivables as of December 31 (in thousand pesos)

The Globe Group seeks to manage its liquidity profile to be able to finance
capital expenditures and service maturing debts. As of December 31, 2010, 2009
and 2008, Globe Group has available uncommitted short-term credit facilities
of USD59.00 million and =

long-term facilities of =
P1,000.00 million, USD93.00 million and USD66.00
million, respectively, which remain undrawn.
As part of its liquidity risk management, the Globe Group regularly evaluates its
projected and actual cash flows. It also continuously assesses conditions in the
financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund raising activities, in case any
requirements arise. Fund raising activities may include bank loans, export credit
agency facilities and capital market issues.

- 89 28.2.4 Hedging Objectives and Policies Liquidity Risk
The Globe Group uses a combination of natural hedges and derivative hedging to
manage its foreign exchange exposure. It uses interest rate derivatives to reduce
earnings volatility related to interest rate movements.
It is the Globe Group’s policy to ensure that capabilities exist for active but
conservative management of its foreign exchange and interest rate risks. The
Globe Group does not engage in any speculative derivative transactions.
Authorized derivative instruments include currency forward contracts
(freestanding and embedded), currency swap contracts, interest rate swap
contracts and currency option contracts (freestanding and embedded). Certain
interest rate swaps are entered with option combination or structured provisions.
28.3

according to the type of financial risk being managed and the details of derivative
financial instruments that are categorized into those accounted for as hedges and those that
are not designated as hedges.
28.4
Derivative Instruments Accounted for as Hedges
The following sections discuss in detail the derivative instruments accounted for as cash
flow hedges.
·
Interest Rate Swaps
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Globe Group has USD57.00 million,
USD51.00 million and USD25.00 million, respectively, in notional amount of interest
rate swap that has been designated as cash flow hedge. The interest rate swaps
effectively fixed the benchmark rate of the hedged loan at 1.01% to 4.84% over the
duration of the agreement, which involves semi-annual intervals up to April 2012.
The Globe Group also has an outstanding interest rate swap contract with a notional
amount of P
=5,000.00 million, which effectively swaps a floating rate PHPdenominated loan into fixed rate, with quarterly payment intervals up to September
2015.
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of the outstanding swap
amounted to =

amounted to =
P58.98 million, =
P40.21 million and =
P19.46 million, respectively.
·
Nondeliverable Forwards
The Globe Group entered into short-term nondeliverable currency forward contracts
to hedge the changes in the cash flows of USD revenues related to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates with maturities until December 2011. These currency
forward contracts have a notional amount of USD35.00 million and USD25.00 million
as of December 31, 2010 and 2008, respectively. There was no outstanding nondeliverable forward as of December 31, 2009. The fair value of the outstanding shortterm nondeliverable currency forwards as of December 31, 2010 and 2008 amounted
to a loss of =

The Globe Group enters into certain derivatives as economic hedges of certain
underlying exposures. Such derivatives, which include embedded and freestanding
currency forwards, embedded call options, and certain currency and interest rate
swaps with option combination or structured provisions, are not designated as

forwards, options, currency and interest rate swaps entered into by the Globe Group.
Fair value changes on these instruments are accounted for directly in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.
·
Deliverable and Nondeliverable Forwards
As of December 31, 2010, the Globe Group has no more outstanding non
deliverable currency forward contracts not designated as hedges.
·
Interest Rate Swaps
The Globe Group has outstanding interest rate swap contracts which swap certain

Currency Swaps
The Globe Group also has an outstanding foreign currency swap agreement with a
certain bank, under which it swaps the principal of USD-denominated loans into
PHP up to April 2012. Under these contracts, swap costs are payable in semiannual intervals in PHP or USD. The notional of the swaps amounted to
USD2.50 million as of December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008. The fair value loss
of the currency swaps as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to
=35.52 million, P
P
=26.79 million and P

Embedded Derivatives
The Globe Group has instituted a process to identify any derivatives embedded in its
financial or non financial contracts. Based on PAS 39, the Globe Group assesses
whether these derivatives are required to be bifurcated or are exempted based on the
qualifications provided by the said standard. The Globe Group’s embedded
derivatives include embedded currency derivatives noted in non-financial contracts.

*SGVMC114676*
- 96 The following discussions are methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such
value.
28.11.1
Non-derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, AFS
investments, subscriber receivables, traffic settlements receivable, loan
receivable, miscellaneous receivables, accrued interest receivables,
accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable are approximately
equal to their carrying amounts considering the short-term maturities of
these financial instruments.
The fair value of AFS investments are based on quoted prices. Unquoted
AFS equity securities are carried at cost, subject to impairment.
For variable rate financial instruments that reprice every three months, the
carrying value approximates the fair value because of recent and regular
repricing based on current market rates. For variable rate financial
instruments that reprice every six months, the fair value is determined by
discounting the principal amount plus the next interest payment using the
prevailing market rate for the period up to the next repricing date. The
discount rates used range from 0.08% to 1.64% (for USD floating loans)
and from 4.37% to 6.55% (for PHP floating loans). The variable rate
PHP loans reprice every six months. For noninterest bearing obligations,
the fair value is estimated as the present value of all future cash flows
discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar
instrument.
28.11.2.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of freestanding and embedded forward exchange contracts
is calculated by using the net present value concept.
The fair values of interest rate swaps, currency and cross currency swap
transactions are determined using valuation techniques with inputs and
assumptions that are based on market observable data and conditions and
reflect appropriate risk adjustments that market participants would make
for credit and liquidity risks existing at the end each of reporting period.
The fair value of interest rate swap transactions is the net present value of
the estimated future cash flows. The fair values of currency and cross
currency swap transactions are determined based on changes in the term
structure of interest rates of each currency and the spot rate.
Embedded currency options are valued using the simple option pricing
model of Bloomberg.
*SGVMC114676*
- 97 28.11.3
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Globe Group held the following financial instruments measured at
fair value.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing
the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant
effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or
indirectly
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on
the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

29. Operating Segment Information
The Globe Group’s reportable segments consist of: (1) mobile communications services;
(2) wireline communication services; and (3) others, which the Globe Group operate and manage
as strategic business units and organize by products and services. The Globe Group presents its
various operating segments based on segment net income.
Intersegment transfers or transactions are entered into under the normal commercial terms and
conditions that would also be available to unrelated third parties. Segment revenue, segment
expense and segment result include transfers between business segments. Those transfers are
eliminated in consolidation.
Most of revenues are derived from operations within the Philippines, hence, the Globe Group does
not present geographical information required by PFRS 8. The Globe Group does not have a
single customer that will meet the 10% reporting criteria.
The Globe Group also presents the different product types that are included in the report that is
regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing the operating segments
performance.
*SGVMC114676*
- 98 Segment assets and liabilities are not measures used by the chief operating decision maker since
the assets and liabilities are managed on a group basis.
