Bangkok – Symphony Communication Public Company Limited (SYMC) has signaled strong performance for 2025 following business recovery and sustained growth, backed by four key growth drivers to capitalize on AI, data center, and digital economy mega-trends. The company is accelerating enterprise customer market expansion, enhancing network capacity for AI and data center growth, expanding regional cross-border connectivity, and building sustainable long-term growth while leveraging long-term opportunities from digital infrastructure and enterprise services.

Alex Loh, Chief Executive Officer of SYMC, stated: "Q2 and first-half results clearly reflect the quality of SYMC's growth, including service revenue expansion, improved profit margins, and efficient cost management. Profit is growing faster than revenue. Meanwhile, our diversified revenue structure from domestic enterprise customers and international services provides business continuity and resilience. The company maintains a strong financial position to support investments and growth opportunities ahead."

SYMC has unveiled four strategic growth drivers for the second half of 2025 to establish long-term growth and position itself as a digital infrastructure leader:

1. Enterprise Digital Market Expansion: Expanding high-speed internet, cloud connectivity, and cybersecurity services to support organizations' digital transformation and generate revenue from value-added services.

2. Supporting Global AI and Data Center Growth: Upgrading the MCT submarine cable system with latest technology to support capacity exceeding 30 Tbps, positioning Thailand's EEC as a data gateway and attracting global technology providers, platforms, and data center investments.

3. Regional Cross-Border Network Expansion: Increasing cross-border connectivity to neighboring countries to expand the international telecom operator customer base and reinforce Thailand's role as the region's data hub.

4. Driving Sustainable Growth: Managing risk carefully, building business resilience, and delivering continuous shareholder returns.

As of June 30, 2025, SYMC's debt-to-equity ratio stands at only 0.57 times and its interest-bearing debt-to-equity ratio at 0.34 times, significantly better than the telecommunications industry average. The company generated positive operating cash flow of 215.4 million baht, strengthening liquidity and supporting long-term investment plans. An extraordinary shareholders' meeting approved long-term managed connectivity service agreements.
