The Company has maintained a gross margin of 21.4 per cent and is reporting a gross profit of Bt460 million, slightly down from the gross profit of Bt474 million in the same period last year.
Its net profit before minority interest is Bt104 million, a drop from its net profit of Bt168 million in the same period last year. The company attributed the drop to slower sales mainly from its Malaysian subsidiaries this year, coupled with a high foreign exchange gain and income taxes during the last year.
