SCC reported a net profit of 3,707 million baht in 2Q24, decreased 54.12% from a net profit of 8,082 million baht in 2Q23. The decline was mainly due to a decrease in chemical spreads and the Long Son Petrochemicals Complex (LSP) expenses.

Revenue from sales increased 3% YoY to 128 billion baht, mainly from the incremental sales from SCG Chemicals and SCGP. However, EBITDA decreased 18% YoY, mainly from lower chemicals spreads, and the MTT incident in SCG Chemicals.

SCGC’s Revenue from Sales registered 52,491 MB, increased by +16% QoQ and +8% YoY from higher sales volume. EBITDA was 3,098 MB, increased by +140% QoQ regarding higher sales volume and seasonal dividend but decreased by -48% YoY from lower gap and seasonal dividend including the MTT incident.
