BDMS reported a net profit of THB7,936 million in 2021, an increase of 31% YoY, due to higher operating income and continued cost saving program and lower finance costs. 

The consolidated operating income was THB75,714 million, increasing by 10% YoY mainly from growth of revenue from Thai patients as a result of higher COVID-19 patient volume since 2Q21. However, revenue from international patients decreased due to global travel restrictions even though there was a positive trend of fly-in patients during 4Q21.

 

In addition, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to pay the dividend from the year 2021 at the rate of THB0.20 per share. The Ex-dividend date (XD) is set for 9 March 2022. The payment of the interim dividend will be made on 29 April 2022.
