STI Holdings Releases First-Ever Sustainability Report

MANILA - STI Holdings, owner of one of the largest networks of private

schools in the Philippines, has released its first-ever sustainability report alongside
its annual report for its fiscal year ending March 31,2020.

In the sustainability report, the company's subsidiary schools detailed their

respective initiatives towards the attainment of the United Nations' Sustainable
Development Goals.

Among the initiatives are the strengthening of school policies that will
safeguard the health and well-being of students and employees, and ensuring access
to quality education through continuous program reviews as well as financial
assistance programs and scholarships.

A key to achieving these goals is STI Holdings' response to the challenges

posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The group has been quick to beef up its already outstanding learning
management systems and forge partnerships with key telecommunications players
to provide the students with Internet connectivity assistance," STI Holdings
Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco and President and CEO Monico V. Jacob jointly said in
the sustainability report.

"The group also worked with government institutions to be able to extend

financial assistance options such as zero-interest student loans and 20% scholarship
grants," they added.

Mr. Tanco and Mr. Jacob likewise assured students and parents that STI
Holdings is doing its best to ensure the quality of education amid the "new normal."
"Our faculty, through continuous and rigorous trainings, are well-equipped to
deliver lessons and conduct consultations online."

By demonstrating its commitment to continuing education amid the new

normal, STI Holdings looks forward to bouncing back from the economic effects of
the pandemic.

STI Holdings reported that its total assets were valued at P15.2 billion for
fiscal year 2019-20. Based on the company's annual report submitted to the
Philippine Stock Exchange, the assets' value increased by P384.3 million from the
P14.8 billion it posted at the end of its previous fiscalyear.

The appreciation in asset values was largely due to the increase in cash and
cash equivalents, receivables,and property and equipment.

Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation,went up by P262.2

million to P10.23billion from P9.96billion.The increaseincludes costs of the recently

2
completed STI Academic Center in Legazpi City. The four-storey building, which
stands on a 4,149-square meter property, can accommodate around 2,500 students.

Prior to the completion of the STI Academic Center Legazpi, four other
academic centers were built in Lipa City, Batangas; San Jose Del Monte City, Bulacan;
Sta. Mesa, Manila; and along EDSA in Pasay City.

Bolstered by a total enrollment of 83,967 students across 78 campuses, which

includes STI WNU and iACADEMY, STI Holdings posted total revenues of P2.7
billion for the year. EBITDA remains strong at PI billion and EBITDA margin
improved from 36% last year to 38% this year.

STI ESG offers associate and baccalaureate degrees and technical-vocational

programs in the fields of Information and Communications Technology, Business
and Management, Hospitality Management, Tourism Management, Arts and
Sciences, Engineering and Education. STI ESG also offers senior high school.

STI ESG remains committed to educating the Filipino youth by enhancing its
programs and making relevant investments including the acquisition of a simulator
and other maritime equipment, specifically for the courses of NAMEI, which it
acquired in 2019.

Founded on February 14,1948, STI WNU was granted its university status by
the Commission on Higher Education on February 11, 2008. STI WNU's campus sits
on a 3.1-hectare property in the heart of Bacolod City.

iACADEMY is the premier school in the group that has senior high school
and college programs centered on computing, business, and design. It offers
specialized courses such as software engineering, game development, animation,
multimedia arts and design, fashion design and technology, film and visual effects
and real estate management.
