Mr. Piyasak Ukritnukun, Managing Director, stated that this interim dividend payment by Tidlor Holdings is sourced from the dividend received from Ngern Tid Lor Public Company Limited ("Ngern Tidlor") for its operating performance in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing the remaining portion of the 2024 dividend. As a result, Ngern Tidlor's full-year 2024 dividend payout ratio stands at 55.8%.
Previously, Ngern Tidlor had already paid an interim dividend for the first nine months of 2024 in early 2025 to avoid delays in dividend distribution and safeguard shareholder benefits, as the company was undergoing a restructuring into a holding company — a process that was completed in May.
For the 2025 operating results, the management will consider dividend payments again after the annual financial statements are finalized and the capital requirements are appropriately assessed.
