TOP reported a net loss of Baht 4,218 million in 3Q24, contrasted to a net profit of Baht 10,827 million in the same period of last year.

In 3Q24, TOP reported an increase in integrated intakes due to an oil spill incident around the Single Buoy Mooring (SBM-2) in September 2023. Meanwhile, sales revenue decreased,driven by a drop in selling prices. GIM, excluding  stock gain/loss, decreased by $8.2/bbl.
