                    [Summary] => Despite a third quarter loss, RFM Corp. managed to preserve its earnings streak for the year with a substantial 72 percent jump in net income to P188 million in the first nine months, company officials said.


RFM president and CEO Jose Concepcion III attributed the profit surge to higher gross margins on its products, improving by as much as 33 percent mainly due to a better sales mix and improvement in selling prices of chicken, flour and processed meats that covered for increasing costs.

Based on unaudited financial statements submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the consolidated net earnings of the Concepcion-controlled conglomerate reached P96 million, a whopping 583- percent jump from a mere P14- million net income in 1999.
