Fiscal Year 2025 The Chairman’s message<\/strong><\/h2>\n

MR. YOICHI MURAMOTO<\/strong>
\nDear Shareholders, investors and stakeholders<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 We respectfully extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit in October 2025. We mourn with profound sorrow the loss of a beloved and revered figure who devoted her life to the nation and made many immense contributions to its social development.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The year 2025 has also been marked by a series of events that have significantly affected Thailand\u2019s society, economy, and politics, including the shock wave of the magnitude 7.7 earthquake in central Myanmar in March, the high-tariff policies of the Trump administration, border tensions with Cambodia, and the government change.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 As countries around the world adapt to the new global economic environment increasingly characterized by protectionism and fragmentation, global economic growth has continued to slow down. Although inflation is expected to ease in many regions, some countries continue to experience rates that exceed their targets. Prolonged uncertainty and intensified protectionist measures may further dampen growth prospects. In addition, concerns are mounting that long-term growth may be constrained, particularly in countries facing aging populations and skills’ shortages.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Under these circumstances, our core Printer business recorded a revenue increase of more than 2 billion baht (21.1%) compared with fiscal 2024. Demand in the global printer market also increase by approximately 12% year on year.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Despite the widespread promotion of digitalization and paperless initiatives, there remains a strong and sustained demand for physical copies of office documents, contracts, and reports. As a result, companies continue to rely on high-quality printing of official records and client communications.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In addition, amid the business environment that places increasing emphasis on accountability and compliance, the trend toward clearly documenting information in written form has intensified. As organizations continue to adopt hybrid work models that combine office-based and remote working, demand for reliable, high-quality, and environmentally friendly home-use printers remains strong and is expected to continue supporting the market’s overall demand.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The automotive-related business recorded a modest increase compared with fiscal 2024, likely due to the Trump administration\u2019s high-tariff policies and the ongoing global semiconductor shortage. Looking ahead, automobiles are expected to evolve from being merely a means of transportation into platforms that support daily life and business, generating new value. A key challenge for us will be to leverage our advanced technological capabilities and high-quality specifications to contribute effectively to this emerging value creation.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 At the same time, environmental initiatives remain a key management priority for us. All our factories have already transitioned to electrical power sourced from renewable energy. In addition, solar panels have been installed on the roof of our third factory, enabling the use of clean solar-generated electricity for the production activities.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The entire Group is committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions further through Company-wide efforts, including energy conservation initiatives, expanded use of renewable energy, and enhanced recycling programs.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 METCO entered the Thai market in 1987, and during the 38 years that have passed since we have accumulated extensive experience and received support from many stakeholders, including our shareholders. We sincerely appreciate this support and look forward to your continued guidance and patronage in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

October 2025<\/p>\n
