The gross margin was 50%, up from 37% a year earlier and 49%  a previous quarter, owing to an increase in income more than that in cost. The company maintains its efficient cost control amid rising operating cost conditions.

In 2Q22, the company posted a one-off profit before tax of 345 million baht from a sale of a 10%  investment portion in a joint-venture company “Vimarnsuriya Co., Ltd” to Dusit Thani PLC. per a previous agreement. The company’s share in a joint-venture company remained at 30% .
