Ayala said net profit dropped to 2.6 billion pesos (US$61 million; euro39 million) in the January-March quarter from 5.6 billion pesos last year.

The 2007 first quarter earnings included 3.3 billion pesos from the sale of shares in Ayala's property unit Ayala Land Inc., and in affiliates Globe Telecom Inc. and Bank of the Philippine Islands.

Ayala's interests span utilities, telecommunications, banking, electronics manufacturing and property development.
