MANILA, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Net income at Philippine mall operator SM Prime Holdings Corp, a unit of conglomerate SM Investments Corp, may have grown 8-10 percent last year, a senior company official said on Wednesday.
The estimate is slightly higher than the company's reported net income growth of 7 percent in 2008.
SM Prime also plans to raise $300 million this year from a public offer of its real estate investment trust in the Philippines, Jeffrey Lim, company chief finance officer, told reporters.
