IRPC Turns a Profit in Q3 2025, Moves Forward with “4R” Strategy

Bangkok: IRPC Public Company Limited announced a profit of 340 million baht for the third quarter of 2025, as the company advances its “4R” strategy aimed at enhancing competitiveness and long-term profitability. The announcement marks a significant turnaround from the previous quarter.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Therdkiat Prommoon, Chief Executive Officer and President of IRPC, reported net sales revenue of 57.938 billion baht, reflecting a 2 percent increase from the previous quarter.

The profit boost stemmed from a 1% rise in average selling prices driven by higher crude oil prices and a 1% increase in sales volume. The petroleum business experienced an improvement in market gross refining margin due to increased spreads between petroleum products. Meanwhile, the utilities business maintained stable gross profits from electricity and steam sales. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to an increase in Dubai crude oil prices during Q3 2025, resulting in a net inventory gain of 502 million baht, or US$0.83 per barrel. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 2,806 million baht compared to the previous quarter, reaching 3,029 million baht.
