» 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.
