Performance and Analysis
Business Performance Summary

Sales and service income for the nine-month period amounted to THB 7,718.2 million, marking a 14% decline compared to the same period last year.

The costs of sales and services were reported at THB 9,479.0 million, representing a 15% decrease compared to the same period last year. This reduction has benefited from continuously executed cost management for optimization of operation facilities and routes with the improvement in our system (i.e. routing maps) and increased staff productivity.

Selling and administrative expenses (SG&A) (incl. net impairment losses) were reported at THB 1,187.2 million, decreased by 6% compared to the same period last year, mainly resulting from cost and network optimization.
