Grand Prix International Public Company Limited

Grand Prix International Public Company Limited, or GPI, expects its automotive marketing event business to be brisk in the final months of this year, as carmakers from Europe and Asia step up activities to boost sales in the last three to four months of the year. Jaturon Komolmis, Chief Operating Officer of the Special Events Division, said the company has continuously signed contracts to organize marketing promotion events from September to December 2026 for carmakers from Europe, Japan, and China, almost every week, with a backlog of no fewer than seven to eight jobs, such as vehicle testing and long-distance test-drive activities. Meanwhile, the company also continues to receive printing orders from government agencies and the private sector, including document printing, leaflets, and brochures to promote tourist destinations and provide educational information, supported by the start of Thailand's tourism season in the final months of the year and continuing into the first quarter of next year. Given these trends, the company is expected to generate revenue from its marketing event business and contract printing business above target. At present, the two businesses have already generated more than 40 million baht in revenue, equal to the full-year target, and the company can still take on additional work during the remainder of this year, which will help support overall revenue growth compared with last year.

Grand Prix International Public Company Limited (GPI) has announced its business plan for the final quarter of this year, expanding its expertise from motor shows to full-scale event and entertainment management. This includes organizing two concerts by Korean artist Do Kyung-soo on November 14-15, 2026, at Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani, with a total capacity of 10,000 seats. Additionally, GPI will partner with Index Creative Village Public Company Limited through IGP Global Company Limited to host the "Hungry Highway" event from November 6-8, 2026, at Crystal Design Center. The new business segment is expected to generate approximately 70-80 million baht in revenue this year, aiming to diversify risk and reduce reliance on motor show income alone.

Grand Prix International Public Company Limited, or GPI, reported a net profit for the first six months of 2026 of 222.07 million baht, up 8.04% from the same period last year, with total sales and service revenue of 746.09 million baht, up 4.04%. The main factor was revenue recognition from the 47th Bangkok International Motor Show, which had total car bookings of more than 135,000 units. The board approved an interim dividend of 0.11 baht per share, totaling 66 million baht, with the ex-dividend date set for 26 August 2026 and payment on 8 September 2026. The company also plans to expand its event and exhibition business in lifestyle, sports, and entertainment to increase future revenue.
