Likewise, the overall retail industry also posted low growth mainly due to careful household spending. However, the Company was able to maintain growth amid slow economic recovery. The Company’s total revenue was Baht 405,893 million, rising 9.3 percent, as a result of robust sales growth from 7-Eleven business and strong support from the business of Siam Makro Public Company Limited. In addition, the Company strived to increase effectiveness in controlling costs and reducing interest burden. Consequently, the Company posted net profit of Baht 13,682 million, growing 34.1 percent from the previous year. In driving the convenience store business, the Company continues to manage its business following the vision “We serve convenience to all communities”, with the strategy of being “the convenience food store of Thais”. The Company has experienced continuous development including expansion of another 705 stores to high potential areas throughout the country. At the end of 2015, the Company had a 7-Eleven network of 8,832 stores serving over 10 million customers per day. In addition, the Company was able to grow same-store sales. The growth rate of sales from existing stores was 0.9 percent, attributable to continuous introduction of new products to the market such as fresh fruit, fresh coffee and etc., with the aim of satisfying the needs of customers for every meal any time of the day. Meantime, investment in the cash and carry wholesale business has also experienced continued growth. At the end of 2015, Siam Makro Public Company Limited had a total of 91 stores, an increase of 14 stores, located across the country. In addition, Makro opened 2 new “Siam Frozen” shops which sell mainly frozen food, adding up to a total of 7 Siam Frozen shops. 12 Annual Report 2015 CP ALL Public Company Limited With regard to preparedness for the online business which is on a rising trend, the Company has prepared systems and basic infrastructure to develop its competitive potential and expand channels for customers to conveniently access its products and services anywhere anytime. With regard to supporting operations, the Company opened a new regional distribution center for consumer products and temperature-controlled products in Chonburi Province and a new distribution center for frozen products in Chiang Mai Province in order to support distribution of ready-to-eat food products. All of the abovementioned will prepare the Company for the 10,000 stores target within 2018. The Company continues to place importance on quality management throughout the organization with the aim of achieving organizational excellence as in the past years, with focus on maximum efficiency and effectiveness in business operations. The Company also gives importance to continuously creating innovation, both in the form of innovation inside the Company and cooperation with business partners in the area of innovation.
