The company posted THB 182.4 billion in revenue for the quarter, with net profit rising to THB 4.38 billion—a 46% increase from the previous quarter and 17.6% higher year-on-year. EBITDA climbed to THB 6.48 billion, up 32.7% quarter-on-quarter and 5.0% year-on-year, driven by gains in its Global and Lifestyle businesses alongside cost discipline and margin improvements in key segments.

Higher gross profit per liter and operational efficiency, particularly in Laos, the Philippines, and Cambodia, helped lift EBITDA by THB 311 million compared to the same period last year. Consumer resilience and sharper cost control also buoyed margins in OR’s Lifestyle segment. While Mobility margins were pressured by softer spreads—especially in aviation fuel—overall performance held firm on reduced personnel and outsourcing costs.

Equity investment gains added THB 657 million, contributing to the bottom line and further affirming the group’s diversified growth engine.

“This quarter’s performance reflects the resilience of our business model and the clarity of our long-term direction,” said M.L. Peekthong Thongyai, Chief Executive Officer of OR. “We are expanding with purpose—delivering value for people, prosperity for communities, and care for the planet.”

At the center of that strategy is OR’s People-Performance-Planet framework, which underpins its approach to investment, innovation, and regional growth.

The expansion of EV Station PluZ, now present in all 77 provinces of Thailand, underscores the company’s commitment to clean mobility. At the same time, OR’s signature brand Café Amazon continues to scale across Southeast Asia, with 391 outlets outside Thailand and over 112 million cups sold in Q1 alone.

OR’s Global Business segment reported a 30.8% year-on-year increase in sales volume, with EBITDA rising 81.5%. The company now operates 415 PTT Stations and 391 Café Amazon outlets across Asia, including Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Japan

“This isn’t just about selling fuel or coffee,” Peekthong said. “It’s about building platforms that empower local economies, foster entrepreneurship, and deliver long-term, sustainable growth.”

The strategy echoes OR’s “They Grow, We Grow” philosophy, which emphasizes empowering local partners as the foundation of international expansion.

Outside the energy sphere, OR continues to sharpen its lifestyle and digital businesses. Non-oil operations contributed 27.5% of Q1 EBITDA, led by strong performance in retail, food & beverage, and franchising. The company is also investing in circular economy models, digital platforms, and sustainable products to reinforce long-term value creation.

Looking ahead, OR is positioning for entry into the virtual banking sector, leveraging its wide-reaching commercial network and extensive customer database to offer personalized, accessible financial services. The move is seen as a natural extension of its strategy to become a daily-life platform for consumers.

The company’s financial health remains solid. TRIS Rating reaffirmed OR’s corporate credit rating at AA+ with a stable outlook for the third consecutive year, reflecting both financial discipline and strategic continuity.

Armed with that momentum, OR is pushing deeper into ASEAN and new frontier markets through a blend of organic expansion, joint ventures, and strategic alliances. The ambition to transform from a national champion into a future-ready regional enterprise at the nexus of energy, retail, and sustainability.

Using mainly Quebec critical minerals

Saguenay, Quebec – Newsfile Corp. – July 7, 2025 – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQB: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully produced commercial-grade lithium iron phosphate (“LFP”) 18650 format battery cells using North American-sourced critical minerals, advancing its mission to localize the LFP battery supply chain in North America.

The LFP cathode and anode materials for the First Phosphate 18650 LFP battery cells were produced using North American critical minerals from the following supply sources:

• Phosphate: High-purity phosphoric acid produced from igneous phosphate concentrate extracted from the First Phosphate Bégin-Lamarche property in Quebec, Canada and processed in the pilot installations of Prayon Technologies of Belgium, Europe.
• Iron: Iron powder produced using magnetite concentrate from the First Phosphate Bégin-Lamarche property in Quebec, Canada and processed by GKN Hoeganaes of Tennessee, USA.
• Lithium: Lithium carbonate produced by Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) from its operations in Nevada, USA.
• Graphite: Natural graphite-based active anode material produced by Nouveau Monde Graphite (NYSE: NMG) from its operations in Quebec, Canada.

“Today we demonstrate that North America, and Quebec in particular, possess the full spectrum of critical minerals and industrial capabilities to re-onshore LFP battery cell production,” said John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate. “It is important to remember that LFP battery technology originated in North America. Reclaiming this leadership is essential to securing North American energy storage, mobility, data center, robotics, and defense industry infrastructure.”

The production process for the First Phosphate LFP 18650 Battery cells from North American critical minerals is viewable at: http://www.firstphosphate.com/NorthAmericanBatteryCells.

LFP 18650 battery cells are versatile lithium-ion batteries that are widely used in industries such as robotics, automation, military and defense, data centers, telecommunications, medical devices, consumer electronics and electric mobility.

LFP 18650 battery cells can be found in autonomous electronic devices such as robots, drones and UAVs, power chargers, laptops, power tools, electric bicycles and scooters, solar storage devices, home energy and power backup units, flashlights, digital cameras, night vision goggles, medical diagnostic equipment, data centers, AI infrastructure and telecommunications towers.

The LFP 18650 battery cells were assembled for First Phosphate by Ultion Technologies Inc (Las Vegas, Nevada), a private battery technology company specializing in LFP battery materials and cells with development and pack assembly operations for North American applications.

The First Phosphate LFP 18650 battery cells are being unveiled today by First Phosphate CEO, John Passalacqua, at the Oreba3 International Conference on Olivines for Rechargeable Batteries in memory of John B.
