million, a decrease of 9.0% from $476.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. &#160;The decrease was primarily attributable to revenue decreases across the Company&#8217;s Thailand and North Asia regions, partially offset by an increase in revenue in the Company&#8217;s Rest of the World (&#8220;ROW&#8221;) region. Net revenue in the Company&#8217;s Thailand region decreased by $25.9 million, or 13.1%, from $197.8 million in 2021 to $171.8 million in 2022.

The decrease was attributable to decreased sales volume primarily due to the impact of the conflict in Ukraine. The price of raw materials, crude oil, and natural gas rose, which squeezed the export market for home appliances and electronic consumer products, and export volume shrank. Also negatively affecting revenue were China&#8217;s COVID lockdowns, which added to supply chain problems and the Sino-American trade war that has affected the world economy. Revenues in the Company's ROW region increased by $12.9 million, or 7.5%, from $171.8 million in 2021 to $184.7 million in 2022 in the ROW region. Increased product sales were primarily due to orders released to the market after the Singapore government removed certain COVID-19 restrictions, partially offset by a decline in the demand for cables which decreased revenues in Australia. The Company's North Asia region includes China and Hong Kong&#59; the Thailand region consists of operations and sales within Thailand&#59; the ROW region includes Singapore, Australia, and the other markets where APWC has operations or sales outside of the Thailand region and North Asia region.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt;margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:202%">Operating profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $8.1 million, an increase from an operating loss of $5.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. &#160;Operating profit margin increased from a loss of 1.0% in 2021 to a profit of 1.9% in 2022. &#160;In the Thailand region, operating profit margin increased from a 6.8% loss in 2021 to a 1.53% profit in 2022. The operating profit increase was the result of a 13.5% drop in copper prices compared to the end of 2021.&#160;In the North Asia region, operating profit margin decreased from 4.23% in 2021 to 0.31% in 2022. The decrease resulted from a decrease in sales volume and the fluctuation of copper prices.
