To : Director and Manager
Stock Exchange of Thailand
Enclosed please find the consolidated Financial Statements of
Siam Makro Public Company Limited for the first quarter ended March 31,
2005 which have been reviewed by the Company's auditor.
For the first quarter of 2005, the Company's profit before income
tax was Baht 370 million, 15.3% over the same quarter last year. Net profit
after tax was Baht 256 million, 13.8% growth over the same period last year.
During the first quarter of 2005, we have remodeled and relaunched 2 more
stores i.e. Surat Thani and Charansanitwongse, making total remodeled
stores up to 12 stores out of 21 planned stores.
The higher profit was attributed mainly to the 22.5% increase in
total sales as the result of continuous growing in fresh food and dry food
and from five new stores opened during the past twelve months in Suphan Buri,
Chanthaburi, Phuket, Roi Et and Trang. The consolidated sales also included
operating results of one subsidiary which we acquired since January 1,2005.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Siam Makro Public Company Limited
