In 2022, the global economy was pressured by the Russia-Ukraine disputes, oil prices and inflation. However, the easing COVID-19 spread, and the gradually recovering economic activity and tourism from reopening of countries caused the amount of spending via credit cards to increase steadily. As a result, in 2022, the Company's net profit was still able reach new height of Baht 7,079 million, an increase of 20.4 percent from last year and the Company's portfolio of receivables expanded from last year by 12.5 percent while a total non-performing loan (NPL) was only at 1.8 percent.

With respect to the performance of the credit card and personal loans businesses, the Company's receivables portfolio grew from the previous year by 15.4 percent and 10.4 percent, respectively, while the portfolio of KTC P Berm Car for Cash, which was a new receivable, was worth Baht 1,055 million. With the important financial ratios being better in every dimension, this reflected efficient business management, i.e. the Company had a net profit margin of 30.5 percent, a return on equity of 24.3 percent and a return on assets of 7.4 percent, which were higher than last year. The financial cost was 2.4 percent and the D/E ratio was 2.2 times which was lower than the previous year. The Company's Credit Rating remained at AA- level.

In terms of marketing activities, the Company aimed to increase spending among customers earning Baht 50,000 per month or more by issuing the KTC JCB ULTIMATE credit card, JCB's highest-level credit card and the first to be launched in Thailand. With the privilege of

X2 points for every spending in foreign currency and special lounge services, Royal Orchid Lounge, as well as special privileges for spending via credit card - benefits at Fine Dining restaurants, restaurants in hotels and various luxury stores, the credit card was to meet the needs of the premium lifestyle of the member group even more. Marketing was also conducted to support spending on tourism and the Next Normal lifestyle, the Company's credit card thus highlighted the concept "Swipe to shop around the world at a lower rate" with a risk rate from foreign currency conversion of not exceeding 2 percent, along with promotions and special privileges with airlines and car rental to cover all travel matters, including events that began to return again in the past year. Marketing activities with leading partners in various businesses to offer special privileges, be it a discount, 0% installment payment and the use of points to redeem cash back were still a focus and leadership in payment products was reinforced by partnering with Google VISA and MasterCard as one of the first credit cards in Thailand that supports payment via Google Pay, adding more options for members who were technology enthusiast to be able to use KTC VISA and MASTERCARD credit cards via Smart Phone with Android system conveniently and securely with entirely contactless payment, a credit card experience which was worthwhile in every occasion of member's life.

For credit businesses, to increase the ease of use, KTC PROUD MASTERCARD cash card was launched to meet the demand for more flexible use of credit limit, whether it is swiping, transferring, cashing, paying installments, and online shopping - all can be done with one card. In addition, a channel to apply via Krungthai NEXT has also been opened in response to the behavior of consumers who prefer convenience in applying and faster results. The Company also continued to launch projects to relieve members' burdens - newly registered KTC PROUD cash card members in 2022 would receive an especially low interest rate of only 0.92 percent per month when receiving the first transfer of Baht 50,000 and monthly installments for up to 36 months. For current members, the Company has launched the project granting a chance for debt settlement in 2022 whereby more than 600 rewards were given out every month throughout the year to encourage withdrawals via the card.

For KTC P Berm Car for Cash, the Company has cooperated with Krungthai Bank to increase application channels and create awareness of the car for cash products through Krungthai Bank's media, i.e. community activities, media at branches, and various bank applications such as Krungthai Connext, money bag applications and wallet applications. The highlight was on "large credit amount of Baht 1 million, within reach, immediate receipt of money and shortened approval time from 2 hours to 1 hour" to meet the urgent needs of applicants. The application channels have also been expanded to business partners with promotions to lighten the burden during inflation in order to help non-discouraged people to go on living.
