We are pleased to submit the Interim Financial Statements for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2012 of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which were
audited by our external auditor, KPMG Phoomchai Audit Ltd., and were reviewed by
the Company's Audit Committee (details as per Attachment 1 and 2).
The Company and its subsidiaries was formed from the amalgamation between PTT
Chemical Public Company Limited and PTT Aromatics and Refining Public Company
Limited and registered as a new entity on October 19, 2011. As a result, the
Interim Financial Statements represented the performance only for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
However, for the Company's and its subsidiaries performance analysis purposes,
the Company had prepared unaudited Pro-forma consolidated financial statements
for quarter 1Q/2011 and 4Q/2011, and hereby prepared management's discussion and
analysis (details as per Attachment 3).
In 1Q/2012 the Company and its subsidiaries had net profit of 9,852 million baht
declined 12% from 1Q/2011 and increased 143% from prior quarter with earnings
per share of 2.19 baht/share. The Company and its subsidiaries performances can
be conclude as follows.
(Unit : Million Baht) 1Q/2012 1Q/2011 4Q/2011 %YoY % QoQ
Revenue from Sale 133,666 103,698 126,117 29% 6%
EBITDA 14,611 18,198 8,693 -20% 68%
Net Profit 9,852 11,162 4,053 -12% 143%
EPS (Baht) 2.19 2.48 0.90 -12% 143%
The main factors in 1Q/2012 include the political issues of the oil producing
countries, which resulted the Dubai crude oil price to average at 116 $/BBL for
the quarter, increasing 16% and 9% from 1Q/2011 and 4Q/2011, respectively. The
increasing of crude oil price resulted in higher utilities cost and higher
feedstock prices, which leads to higher the petroleum and petrochemical products
prices. However, the concern over the uncertainty of economic situation in
Europe and USA and along with the more cautious economic policy in China,
contributed to soften demand and putting pressure on the products spreads.
Please be informed accordingly.
Sincerely yours,
(Patiparn Sukorndhaman)
