Q1/2026 Performance Summary (Presented by Mr. Numpol Malichai, President & CEO)

Total sales in Q1 amounted to THB 5,552 million. Sales softened slightly year-on-year, primarily due to a slowdown in overall market conditions, particularly in Thailand. Excluding the impact of Thai Baht appreciation from foreign currency translation, revenue would have declined by approximately -4%, mainly attributable to the domestic market in Thailand. Profitability. Despite softer sales, profitability remained resilient and comparable to last year, with overall profit growth. EBITDA stood at THB 780 million, representing an EBITDA margin of 14.1%, improving from 13.6% in the same period last year. Profit attributable to the owners of the company amounted to THB

247 million, an increase of 14% year-on-year, with a net profit margin of 4.2%.

From Revenue portion by countries, Vietnam’s sales contribution increased year-on-year, while Thailand experienced a slowdown. SCGD’s export sales accounted for approximately 12% of total revenue. Export sales from Vietnam grew significantly by 30% year-on-year, in line with our strategy to position Vietnam as the Group’s export manufacturing base. In contrast, exports from Thailand declined due to regulatory constraints related to export licensing to neighboring countries.

Global Situation and Energy Cost Impact

Impact from Global Conflicts. Energy prices across all categories have continued to rise, impacting both raw material and logistics costs. However, the impact in Q1 was limited as price increases occurred toward the end of the quarter. The full momentum of cost impacts is expected to become more apparent from Q2 onward.

Country-Specific Impact Outlook for Q2: In the Philippines, the highest impact, driven by rising diesel prices affecting raw materials, logistics costs, and highly volatile LPG prices. While in Thailand, natural gas prices are expected to gradually increase starting in Q2. For Vietnam, coal costs remain relatively stable due to domestic sourcing and price lag mechanisms. Lastly for Indonesia, limited impact on both raw materials and energy costs, supported by government subsidies and price controls.

Cost Mitigation Measures

The Group continues to mitigate cost pressures through negotiations with logistics providers, reducing reliance on fossil fuels by increasing the use of alternative energy, selective price adjustments in line with cost inflation, while aiming to minimize market impact. We are also accelerating our regional optimization strategy, positioning Vietnam as a competitive manufacturing hub. In addition, the Group has evaluated increasing raw material inventory levels to ensure production continuity and cost stability.

As a result, Thailand and Vietnam are expected to be largely unaffected, while impacts in the Philippines and Indonesia are expected to be manageable through Q2/2026.

Winning Strategies

Thailand Strategy – Maintaining Market Leadership. In Thailand, to mitigate global energy cost volatility and improve production efficiency, the

Group is implementing plant consolidation in the Saraburi area. The number of plants will be reduced from four to two, resulting in a new combined capacity of 44.5 million square meters per year, aligned with appropriate domestic demand levels. This investment includes advanced technology and automation systems, enhancing profitability by reducing unit production costs by 16–20%, alongside a significant reduction in

SG&A expenses, improving competitiveness against imports.

Outlook & Mitigation

21

Outlook

• Market will remain soft. Real estate sector continues to be pressured by weakening purchasing power and is in a wait-and-see mode from government policies and economic stimulus package.

• NG is expected to increase and will impact production cost.

• Growth is expected to continue, supported by acceleration of construction projects prior to rainy season and increased government spending. Some cautious factors on inflation.

• Government measurements, including gas tax reductions and energy subsidies, have mitigated the impacts

• Expect the market to be slow from higher inflation and weak domestic demand.

• LPG and diesel price will be higher.

• Growth is expected to be moderate

• Minimal effect from the Iran-US conflict with Government support.

22

Q2/2026 Outlook

In Thailand, market slowdown is expected to persist as customers delay purchasing decisions and focus on project completion. Natural gas prices are expected to rise gradually. For Vietnam, continued growth is expected, driven by accelerated construction ahead of the rainy season and government support measures, including tax reductions and energy subsidies. In the Philippines, Market slowdown due to inflationary pressure and continued energy price volatility. For

Indonesia, Outlook remains stable, supported by lower reliance on imported energy and ongoing government energy subsidies.

Q&A :

Q1: Why did SCGD choose to invest in Thailand instead of expanding production capacity in Vietnam, where energy cost advantages appear more attractive?

Answer SCGD continues to expand in Vietnam in line with our long-term strategy. At the same time, the investment in Thailand focuses on production consolidation, whereby we are consolidating four plants into two plants to better align capacity with domestic demand.

This consolidation enables us to significantly improve capacity utilization and production efficiency. The investment primarily involves advanced technology and automation, resulting in a material reduction in unit production cost of approximately 16–20%.

This allows the Company to maintain market leadership in Thailand while enhancing profitability. Following the investment, we expect capacity utilization to increase to approximately 80–90%, with part of the output substituting imported tiles.

The resulting production capacity is considered optimal for the Company’s economies of scale. All production will be consolidated in NK1 and

NKIE, utilizing the most efficient ceramic tile formats with modern manufacturing technology.

As a result, overall capacity utilization and total production cost levels in Thailand will become more comparable to Vietnam, while improving the Group’s overall cost competitiveness.

Q2: Will the investment have an impact on dividend payments this year, given the relatively large investment size?

Answer The Company has sufficient liquidity and funding capacity to support the investment. Dividend consideration will continue to be based on normal operating performance and cash-generating profit. Items that are non-cash in nature, such as asset write-offs, are accounting adjustments and do not affect the Company’s cash position or dividend-paying capability.

Q3: What is the breakdown between cash and non-cash expenses for Thailand consolidation project, and how will Gross margin improve after completion?

Answer The expenses related to the project amounts to THB 679 million and expected to be recognized in the late second quarter of 2026, which are one-time with the majority being non-cash items, primarily related to asset impairment.

Upon completion of the project, the Company expects annual cost savings of approximately THB 380 million, which will support structural improvement in gross profit margin going forward.

Q4: Is the investment in Vietnam an expansion of new capacity, or a conversion of existing ceramic tile lines to glazed porcelain?

Answer The primary investment in Vietnam is a conversion of existing ceramic tile production lines into glazed porcelain lines, in order to better meet growing market demand. At the same time, conventional ceramic tiles will continue to be supplied for domestic sales and export markets, including exports to countries such as the Philippines.
