KTC releases figures for first quarter 2019

KTC has announced a net profit of Bt1.58 billion in the first quarter of this year, up 31 per cent from the same period last year.


In its report on Monday, the company noted that overall business was as expected. The firm continues to move forward by constantly adjusting its marketing plan to handle evolving competition in order to achieve its credit card spending goal. It has developed its entire online system to cater to members’ needs and increased chances for new business practices to encourage constant growth and a sustainable society, the company's president and chief executive officer Rathian Srimongkol said.
“In the first quarter of this year, we achieved a satisfactory expansion in our card membership base and maintained debt at the same level as last year. The firm earned more from interest and fees and is always making adjustments to its business process. This did not result in a large increase of operation expenses. Overall, receivables are of good quality and allowance and loan loss provisions have decreased,” he said.
