The increase on the financial performance was mainly due to
1. Total 6 airports' air traffic statistics for October 2009 - December 2009 have increased from the same period of last year due to the recovery of Thailand's tourism leading to the operating income of Baht 1,396.51 million, an increase of Baht 307.29 million or 28.21% YoY.
2. For this accounting period, AOT has recorded gain on foreign exchange of Baht 440.79 million, an increase from last year loss on foreign exchange of Baht 2,340.51 million mainly due to Baht appreciation leading to a gain from the foreign exchange rate adjustments at the end of 1st Quarter of fiscal year 2010.However, taking into account for a loss of cross currency swap contracts, AOT had recorded an increase of net gain on foreign exchange of Baht 2,781.30 million or 118.83% YoY. As a result, the net profit for the 1st Quarter of fiscal year 2010 has increased more than 20%.
Please be informed accordingly.
