Enclosed please find the Interim Consolidated and Company Financial
Statements of Siam Makro Public Company Limited for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2010 which have been reviewed by the certified public accountant.
Revenues
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company managed to achieve Baht 21,479
million consolidated revenues which rose by 15.9% from the same period last
year. The growth was mainly contributed by Makro sales growth on same store
basis, additional sales from 3 new stores opened during middle of last year
and new store (store 45 Kamphangphet) opened in this quarter including service
income and other income increased by 8.8% and 11% respectively.
Gross Margin
Gross profit in the 1st quarter increased significantly by 44.7%.
Percentagewise it was increased from 5.8% in 2009 to 7.2% in this quarter.
This was a result of product and assortment development with focus on
assortment for professional customers coupled with effective shrinkage control
and reduction in aging inventory.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling and administrative expenses were Baht 1,342 million,
equivalent to 6.2% of total revenue and increased by 22% YOY due to increase
in expenses of new stores opened since middle of 2009, pre-operating costs of
stores under construction and increased personnel costs.
Financial costs decreased 27.3% from the same quarter last year because
of lower borrowing and interest rate.
Net Profit
Consolidated net profit after tax was Baht 472 million, an increase of
58.9% over same quarter last year due mainly to a result of higher sales and
better margin as above mentioned.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
