RATCH reported a net profit of THB 2,290 million in 2Q24, increased 7% from the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to the recognition of profit sharing from Hin Kong Combined-Cycle Power Plants (HKP) Block 1 since the commercial operation date on March 1, 2024, as well as, the Company recognized the share profit of Paiton coal-fired thermal power plants (PE) which was acquired on April 30, 2024.

In the 2nd quarter 2024, the total revenues were THB 11,354 million. By excluding the Energy Payment (pass-through), the total revenue increased QoQ and YoY by 18.0% and 1.0% respectively. The main reasons were that the Company recognized the share profit of HKP Block 1 and the recognition of PE. However, the revenue from sales of SPPs decreased due to a reduction in the average gas price.
