The Company and its subsidiaries was formed from the amalgamation between PTT Chemical Public Company Limited and PTT Aromatics and Refining Public Company Limited and registered as a new entity on October 19, 2011. As a result, the Interim Financial Statements represented the performance only for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. However, for the Company's and its subsidiaries performance analysis purposes, the Company had prepared unaudited Pro-forma consolidated financial statements for quarter 1Q/2011 and 4Q/2011, and hereby prepared management's discussion and analysis (details as per Attachment 3). In 1Q/2012 the Company and its subsidiaries had net profit of 9,852 million baht declined 12% from 1Q/2011 and increased 143% from prior quarter with earnings per share of 2.19 baht/share. The Company and its subsidiaries performances can be conclude as follows. (Unit : Million Baht) 1Q/2012 1Q/2011 4Q/2011 %YoY % QoQ Revenue from Sale 133,666 103,698 126,117 29% 6% EBITDA 14,611 18,198 8,693 -20% 68% Net Profit 9,852 11,162 4,053 -12% 143% EPS (Baht) 2.19 2.48 0.90 -12% 143% The main factors in 1Q/2012 include the political issues of the oil producing countries, which resulted the Dubai crude oil price to average at 116 $/BBL for the quarter, increasing 16% and 9% from 1Q/2011 and 4Q/2011, respectively. The increasing of crude oil price resulted in higher utilities cost and higher feedstock prices, which leads to higher the petroleum and petrochemical products prices. However, the concern over the uncertainty of economic situation in Europe and USA and along with the more cautious economic policy in China, contributed to soften demand and putting pressure on the products spreads.
