During the month, ThaiBev’s spirits business saw revenue decline despite an increase in sales volume on account of an increase in packaging costs and currency depreciation of Myanmar Kyat.
The reopening of entertainment venues on June 1 should support the recovery of spirits, especially brown spirits, consumption in Thailand, says the group.
The group’s beer business saw an improvement to revenue thanks to the healthy recovery in economic activity in Vietnam and price increases implemented in Thailand and Vietnam. Total sales volume increased as well due to a rise in SABECO’s sales volume.
The group’s NAB business saw higher revenue due to higher volume amid the recovery in economic activity in Thailand.
