Manila—(PHStocks)—Manila Electric Company (Meralco) (PSE: MER) today announced that its unaudited consolidated Core Net Income, which excludes one-time, exceptional charges, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to Php4.0 billion. Consolidated Reported Net Income for the period stood at also Php4.0 billion. Core and Reported Earnings per Share were at Php3.570 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as at Php3.571.
