Revenue from sales for the second quarter of 2022 and for the first half of 2022 were higher than the same periods of last year, largely due to higher market prices and higher sales volume for most products.
In the second quarter of 2022, profit from sales was THB10,362 million, which was THB9,287 million higher than the same period of last year primarily from the Downstream segment mainly due to improved refining margin, favorable inventory effects, and sales volume growth.
Compared with the same period last year, net finance costs are almost the same due to lower interest rates offset by higher average debt balance.
