The company is optimistic that the economy in 2018 will improve over 2017 and consequently enable continued growth of its motorcycle hire-purchase and personal loan businesses.
Wichit Phayuhanaveechai, CEO of Summit Capital Leasing Co Ltd, said in a Friday media release that the company’s 2017 performance grew considerably, including a 42 per cent increase in the total for accounts receivable.
The total number of new contracts for motorcycle hire-purchase was also improved by 34 per cent, when compared with the industry that is expected to have grown around 3 per cent in 2017. The level of NPLs (non-performing loans) was also acceptable at less than 1 per cent.
“As we start looking forward to 2018, Summit Capital has been taken all the necessary steps to capture the No. 1 position in the motorcycle hire-purchase market. Actions are taken as preparation for becoming No. 1 by the end of the fiscal year 2018, in which we project to increase revenue by more than 20 per cent from 2017,” Wichit said.
