RCL said that including gains from sales of fixed assets it made a THB442m ($12.37m) profit in 2015 compared to THB362m in 2014. In Q4 2015 it reported a net profit of THB248m against THB166m in the same quarter a year earlier.
The company said that “stringent cost control and the strategic realignment of services as well as fleet deployment, selective product mix and the reversal of provision for loss on impairment of assets”, had contributed to its fourth quarter profit.
