MINT posts higher profit 

Minor International (MINT) has announced a net profit of Bt3.8 billion in the first nine months of this year, an 18 per cent increase from core net profit of Bt 3.22 billion in the same period of last year. 
This growth was achieved despite significant market headwinds and was attributable to strong performance of all three of MINT’s business units. MINT’s business and geographical diversification strategy, together with operational excellence and cost discipline, again demonstrated MINT’s resiliency in the midst of fragile macro conditions both in Thailand and some of MINT’s key overseas markets, according to the company’s press release yesterday.
 For the third quarter of this year, the company’s net profit increased by 15 per cent to Bt1.14 billion from Bt990 million in the third quarter of last year.
