Performance and Analysis
Business Performance Summary

The Company’s sales revenue in Q1/2025 amounted to THB 144,175 million, with 62% from international operations and 38% from Thailand operations. Sales revenue increased by 3% compared to the same period of last year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate, sales revenue would have increased by approximately 8% , primarily due to increased revenue from Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, and China.

The Company’s net profit in the Q1/2025 amounted to THB 8,549 million, a 642% increase compared to THB 1,152 million in Q1/2024 due to the follows:

  1. Swine prices in Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Thailand have increased compared to 2024 due to the industry's adjustment from previous oversupply conditions. Additionally, the swine supply has decreased due to disease outbreaks in multiple countries since late 2024.
  2. Reduced cost of animal farming due to improved farming efficiency and better supply chain management for raw materials
  3. Improved operational efficiency resulting from the recovery of the supply chain and effective cost control
  4. The share of profit from associates and joint ventures amounted to THB 3,443 million, an increase of 92%, mainly driven by the improved performance of an associate in China involved in animal feed and swine operations, CP All Public Company Limited, and an associate in Canada.
