The retail logistics segment remained the primary revenue driver which covers courier, air cargo, and balikbayan box services, contributing ₱10.24 billion (74% of total revenues). While the growing corporate logistics segment that includes freight forwarding, e-commerce, and business solutions, accounted for ₱3.56 billion (25% of total revenues).

Domestic operations led the charge with ₱8.65 billion in revenue (61% of total revenues), while international operations contributed ₱5.64 billion (39%), reinforcing LBC’s global impact.

Operational Efficiency Drives Profit Growth

In response to market pressures, LBC focused on making their operations more streamlined and cost-effective. The company successfully reduced the cost of services from ₱11.47 billion in 2023 to ₱11.17 billion. This enabled a 3% increase in gross profit of ₱3.12 billion compared to the ₱3.05 billion the previous year.

Net income from operations after tax—excluding non-cash valuation impacts—rose to ₱416.64 million, a significant 45% increase from ₱286.91 million in 2023. This performance highlights LBC’s ability to drive profitability through cost control and focused execution.

Commitment to Customer-Centric Excellence

LBC continued to raise the bar for customer experience in 2024 through continuously investing in infrastructure and innovation. The launch of the ‘LBC Central Exchange Facility’ in August 2023 further improved deliveries across the country by streamlining the company’s operations.

With a 99.6% sorting accuracy rate and a 93% on-time delivery rate demonstrates the company’s commitment to a seamless and reliable service. Customer service also remained a top priority, with 95% of inquiries resolved within 24 hours, ensuring that customers are always at the heart of LBC’s operations.

Expanding Services for a Digital Future

To meet the rising demand of e-commerce businesses and digital-savvy consumers, LBC launched ‘LBC Rush’ in 2024. This initiative offers 1 to 2 day express delivery between the National Capital Region (NCR) and key locations in Visayas or Mindanao.
