DMT Managing Director Sakda Phanwai announced that the company posted total revenue of 1,287.58 billion baht for the first six months of 2025, derived from toll fees, service revenue, and sales of related products, with net profit of 525.16 billion baht. This demonstrates the company's effective cost management and sustained profitability despite external headwinds in the second quarter.

Second-quarter traffic volume reached 95,571 vehicles but was impacted by Middle East tensions, rising energy prices affecting travel costs and living expenses, approximately ten consecutive public holidays, and reduced flight schedules at Suvarnabhumi Airport in May and June due to higher fuel costs, all of which dampened passenger numbers and airport-linked traffic.

The board approved an interim dividend of 0.446 baht per share totaling 526.83 billion baht for the first six months. Following a previous payment of 0.223 baht per share on June 11, 2025, the company will distribute the remaining 0.223 baht per share (263.42 billion baht) with a record date of August 24, 2025, and payment on September 10, 2025.

"Despite external factors in the second quarter—including Middle East developments, energy prices, and extended holidays—DMT maintained efficient cost control and sustained profitability while focusing on new revenue sources for future growth," Sakda said.

Sakda added that the company maintains its 2025 revenue growth target of approximately 10% while closely monitoring economic conditions, energy prices, and traffic trends. DMT is pursuing new business ventures in infrastructure engineering, repair and maintenance, digital payment systems, traffic systems, and related services to diversify revenue streams, reduce reliance on toll fees alone, and capitalize on future government infrastructure investment opportunities.
