The Stock Exchange of Thailand
Enclosed please find the Consolidated and Company Financial
Statements of Siam Makro Public Company Limited for the year ended
December 31, 2004 which have been audited by the external auditor.
In 2004 the Company's net profit after tax was Baht 1,107
million, up Baht 163 million from Baht 944 million in 2003
representing an increase of 17%. The increase in net profit was
attributed to the higher consolidated sales of 14% to Baht 44,670
million, up from Baht 39,249 in the prior year, partly from our
opening 6 new stores, better buying cost and ongoing cost control.
During 2004, the Company has opened 6 new stores being Sakon
Nakhon in March, Suphan Buri in May, Chanthaburi in July, Phuket in
August, Roi Et in October and Trang in December and rolled out our
remodeling format to a further 7 stores after the initial roll out
at 3 stores in 2003.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Siam Makro Public Company Limited
