NEO Achieves Record-Breaking Performance with Historic 4Q/2025 Sales

NEO Corporate Public Company Limited (NEO) reported an exceptional 2025, with core market value growing 10-11% - significantly outpacing the overall market's 4% [1] expansion. Total full-year sales reached 10,738 million Baht, marking a robust 6.7% YoY increase, and culminating in an all-time high fourth-quarter sales growth of 10.5% YoY. This strong performance, fueled by expanding domestic market share, product innovation, and enhanced existing offerings, positions NEO for accelerated innovative product development to reach a broader consumer base for domestic and international growth in 2026, all while adhering to ESG principles. In light of this success, the Board of Directors has proposed a 1.35 Baht per share dividend, with the XD date set for May 5, 2026.

Mr. Suthidej Thakolsri, Chief Executive Officer of NEO Corporate Public Company Limited, stated, "Our success in 2025, with sales reaching 10,738 million Baht and growth rates exceeding market averages, reflects our agility in adapting strategies to meet evolving consumer demands, expand distribution channels and market penetration into new consumer segments. Furthermore, our 'Innovation-led Premiumization' strategy has provided a competitive edge, boosting market share and driving sustained growth, even amidst challenging market conditions. Moving forward in 2026, we will elevate the development of innovative products to reach an even wider consumer base. We will delve deeper into analyzing unmet consumer needs, aiming to deliver more tailored experiences and solutions that enhance their quality of life. These innovations will create added value for our brands to resonate with consumers for the long term."

Defying FMCG Dynamics: Q4 Performance Reaches New Heights

The 6.7% YoY growth in total sales for 2025 was primarily driven by the Household Products and Personal Care Products segments, which grew by 14.1% and 9.6% respectively. Notably, the fourth quarter marked an all-time high sales record of 2,938 million Baht, representing a 10.5% YoY and 11.8% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase. Net profit for the quarter reached 166 million Baht, surging by 181.4% QoQ. This impressive performance was supported by government stimulus measures to boost consumer purchasing power, such as the half-half plus co-payment (Kon La Krueng Plus) program and increased welfare card allowances. Additionally, efficient expense management and cost control significantly contributed to the company's heightened profitability.

Unlocking New Growth Trajectories: Silver Age and Pet Care Segments

Most recently, the company enhanced its portfolio with Talcum Powder and special-sized Wet Wipes for the elderly, addressing diverse usage needs and uplifting consumers' quality of life.

Furthermore, NEO has entered the pet care market with the launch of the LovliTails brand, under the concept of "Pet-Centric Natural Solution." This brand focuses on creating high-quality, gentle, and safe products, encompassing both pet hygiene products and pet accessories cleaning products. This initiative responds to the growing "Pet Humanization" trend and lays the groundwork for LovliTails to become another key engine driving the company's long-term growth.
