Published on 15/05/2024
» Minor International Public Company Limited (“MINT”) on May 14, 2024, announced its first quarter 2024 financial results, posting a net profit of THB 1,146 million in 1Q24 notwithstanding 1Q being the low season for its most significant contributor, its European hotel business. This profit represented a significant improvement from a THB 976 million loss in 1Q23 and was attributable to stronger performance across all business units as well as favourable foreign exchange movements. At the core level, MINT recorded a core net loss of THB 352 million in 1Q24 (due to aforementioned seasonality of the European hotel business), representing a 46% improvement (less loss) from a core net loss of THB 647 million in 1Q23. MINT’s hotel and restaurant businesses both reported robust financial performance in 1Q24 from continued rising demand, which enabled the Company to implement strategic dynamic pricing, drive increased dine-in traffic and lock in further cost optimisation. Minor Hotels Thailand, Minor Hotels Australia and Minor Food all saw double-digit year-on-year growth. Meanwhile, Minor Hotels Europe and the Americas outperformed expectations by narrowing their y-y quarterly losses.
