MR. D.I.Y. Holdings (Thailand) plans to offer up to 981 million shares for IPO, entering the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
MR. D.I.Y. Holdings (Thailand), a leading retailer in home improvement and lifestyle products, plans to offer up to 981,482,654 shares for its initial public offering (IPO) following the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval to begin the filing process on January 23, 2025.

Andy Chin, CEO of MR. D.I.Y. Holdings (Thailand) Plc, stated that this move marks a significant milestone, offering an opportunity for growth alongside the communities in which it operates.

For over nine years, MR. D.I.Y. has been a dominant player in Thailand's retail market for home improvement and lifestyle products, holding a market share of approximately 7.4%.

The company plans to continue its expansion, targeting 200 new stores in 2025 to cover all 77 provinces across the country, building on the 191 stores opened in 2024.

The company offers around 15,000 products across six main categories: household and home improvement, hardware, electrical appliances, stationery and sports equipment, toys, and more.

The company emphasizes competitive pricing through economies of scale, aiming to reach mass-market consumers with accessible and affordable products.

As of December 31, 2024, MR. D.I.Y. operates 932 stores across Thailand, with 31% located in shopping centers and 69% as standalone outlets.

This extensive network positions MR. D.I.Y. as the largest and fastest-growing home improvement and lifestyle retailer in the country.

The strategy of carefully chosen store locations enhances convenience and accessibility for customers nationwide.

The company aims to improve the quality of life for Thai consumers through strategic store placement and a diverse product range, adhering to its promise of 'Always Low Prices.' In preparation for the IPO, the company will allocate proceeds for business expansion, debt repayment, and working capital.

MR. D.I.Y. currently has a registered capital of 3,038.5 million baht, divided into 6,077,097,000 shares with a par value of 0.50 baht each.

The share offering will account for up to 16.31% of the company's total issued and paid-up shares after the IPO.

MR. D.I.Y.'s financial advisors include Bualuang Securities and CIMB Thai Bank.

The raised capital will support the company's strategic growth initiatives and bolster its position in the Thai retail sector.
