Betagro reports new record-high net profit in Q2 2025
This robust performance was driven by a proactive export strategy, a high-margin product portfolio, and effective cost control.
Thailand’s integrated agri-food company Betagro reported Q2 2025 net profit of USD 79.95 million this year, marking an all-time high since its listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, up 313.2% yoy from USD 19.35 million and grew 36.7% qoq.
This robust performance was driven by a proactive export strategy, a high-margin product portfolio, and effective cost control.
Vasit Taepaisitphongse, CEO and Acting President of International Business Group, said this quarter’s performance highlighted the success of the company’s strategy to expand into high-potential international markets, delivering strong growth over the same period last year.
Export revenue
The company’s export revenue in the second quarter reached USD 111.76 million, representing a yoy growth of 9.2% from USD 102.30 million.
In the first half of the year, Europe led total export revenue with 39%, followed by Japan at 28% and Asia ex-Japan at 27%.
These strong results underscore the company’s strong competitiveness across international markets.
“We aim to achieve 15-20% export growth this year,” Mr Vasit revealed.
In parallel, Betagro continues to optimize its product portfolio and distribution channels to enhance profitability.
The focus is on expanding high value-added products, particularly in processed food and meat, to meet contemporary consumer demands for convenience, safety, and high quality, and to better serve foodservice customers both locally and globally.
Total income and gross profit
Driven by key strategic execution, Betagro’s total income in Q2 2025 surged to USD 975.75 million, up 15.6% yoy.
Gross profit rose to USD 189.90 million, an 61.2% increase from USD 118.23 million. The gross profit margin improved to 19.6%, compared to 14.1% in the same period last year.
Additionally, efficient cost management contributed to the company’s strong performance, as selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were significantly reduced to 10.3%, down from 10.6% in the same period last year.
Positive outlook for the second half
For the second half of the year, Betagro maintains a positive outlook for the food and protein business, driven by several key factors. These include strong domestic demand and robust export growth, and a downward trend in feed costs resulting from easing global raw material prices.
Additionally, the recovery of tourism and overall economic activities is expected to stimulate out-of-home food consumption, especially within the foodservice segment.
“With strong business potential, a clear growth strategy and efficient execution, Betagro is well positioned to build on its first-half performance and deliver solid growth in the second half of the year, reinforcing its positioning as an integrated food industry leader in Thailand,” Mr Vasit stated.
