The company plans to offer four new debenture tranches to the general public with maturities ranging from 4 &#8211; 10 years, with coupon rates [2.45 \u2013 3.35]% per annum. The debentures are rated \u201cA+\u201d with an outlook upgraded to \u201cPositive\u201d from \u201cStable\u201d by TRIS Rating Co., Ltd. as of March 19th, 2026, highlighting the Company\u2019s solid credit profile amidst prevailing economic uncertainty reflecting confidence in the company\u2019s strong fundamentals as well as its role in developing Thailand\u2019s digital infrastructure.

The company successfully returned to profitability with a net profit of 9.2 billion baht (or 19.2 billion baht normalized for one-time effects) and recorded its fourth consecutive quarter of profit since the amalgamation. This was driven by effective cost management, strong financial discipline, focus on high quality subscribers and continued benefits from our spectrum strategy. The Company recorded an EBITDA of 105.0 billion, up 7% YoY and an improvement of 43% since amalgamation and consequently announced its first dividend payment since the amalgamation.\u00a0These achievements reflect strong cash flow generation and significantly improved operational stability.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the company has completed ASEAN\u2019s largest tower integration strengthening its 5G and 4G networks to deliver the widest, stable, and most efficient coverage in Thailand. True has also implemented AI-driven automated network management, improving operational efficiency and delivering a seamless, high-quality user experience for customers. These factors highlight the company\u2019s strong business fundamentals and long-term growth potential.<\/p>\n<p>Both the company and the debentures being offered have received an \u201cA+\u201d rating with \u201cPositive\u201d outlook by TRIS Rating (March 18th, 2026), with the outlook upgraded from <strong>\u201c<\/strong>Stable\u201d. This reflects True\u2019s market leadership in telecommunication, underpinned by nationwide network coverage, a diverse spectrum portfolio and a trusted consumer brand. In addition, the benefits of the amalgamation have enhanced operational efficiency and strengthened the company\u2019s long-term growth prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the \u201cPositive\u201d outlook reflects TRUE\u2019s strengthened profitability and cash flow, driven by realized synergies from the successful amalgamation.<\/p>\n<p>Following the amalgamation, the company reached a steady-state operating phase in late 2025 and has realized most of the expected synergy benefits. EBITDA has improved due to savings in spectrum costs and greater operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>True expects EBITDA-to-service revenue ratio to increase from 64% in 2025 to 69% by 2028 with capital expenditures (Capex) to gradually decline from 2026 onward and Capex-to-sales ratio to decrease to 13 \u2013 14% by 2028. At the same time, the company will maintain disciplined investment management. The company aims to reduce financial leverage to be around 3.0x by 2028.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30029\" src=\"https:\/\/trueblog.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/067-\u0e17\u0e23\u0e39-\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e34\u0e14\u0e08\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e38\u0e49\u0e19\u0e01\u0e39\u0e49\u0e0a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e48-\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e21\u0e1b\u0e35-2569.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/067-\u0e17\u0e23\u0e39-\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e34\u0e14\u0e08\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e38\u0e49\u0e19\u0e01\u0e39\u0e49\u0e0a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e48-\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e21\u0e1b\u0e35-2569.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/067-\u0e17\u0e23\u0e39-\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e34\u0e14\u0e08\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e38\u0e49\u0e19\u0e01\u0e39\u0e49\u0e0a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e48-\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e21\u0e1b\u0e35-2569-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/067-\u0e17\u0e23\u0e39-\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e34\u0e14\u0e08\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e38\u0e49\u0e19\u0e01\u0e39\u0e49\u0e0a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e48-\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e21\u0e1b\u0e35-2569-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.true.th\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/067-\u0e17\u0e23\u0e39-\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e34\u0e14\u0e08\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e38\u0e49\u0e19\u0e01\u0e39\u0e49\u0e0a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e48-\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e21\u0e1b\u0e35-2569-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The public offering includes four tranches of name-registered, unsubordinated, unsecured debentures with debentureholders\u2019 representatives.
