Spirits business was weaker
- Demand for spirits was impacted by lower government income support and softer economy in Thailand. Sales revenue of spirits rose marginally by 1% y-o-y, thanks to higher average selling price as Thai Beverage raised prices to minimize the impact of inflationary pressure during the year while volume stayed flat. EBITDA and net profit fell 2.3% and 1.1% y-o-y, weighed down by higher raw materials and packaging costs, as well as weaker MMK.
- On the other hand, Thai Beverage reported stronger growth in beer, NAB and food segments with improvement in both topline and bottom line.
