15. PERFORMANCE REVIEW
| Individual Quarter Ended 1Q 2026 | Individual Quarter Ended 1Q 2025 | Changes | Changes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RM ('000) | RM ('000) | RM ('000) | % | |
| Revenue | 10,176 | 13,564 | (3,388) | (24.98%) |
| (Loss before tax)/ Profit before tax | (1,927) | 308 | (2,235) | (725.65%) |
The Group's revenue decreased to RM10.2 million and recorded a loss before tax of RM 1.9m in Q1-2026, compared to a profit of RM0.3 million with a RM13.6 million revenue recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The decline was primarily attributable to lower sales in distribution from price increases and the cost of ramping up operations in the new manufacturing plant. While the distribution sales were lower than expected, core accounts and product sales remained resilient.
16. COMPARISON WITH PRECEDING QUARTER'S RESULTS
| Reporting Quarter 1Q 2026 | Previous Quarter 4Q 2025 | Changes | Changes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RM ('000) | RM ('000) | RM ('000) | % | |
| Revenue | 10,176 | 14,117 | (3,941) | (27.92%) |
| (Loss before tax) / Profit before tax | (1,927) | (5,528) | 3,601 | 65.14% |
First quarter revenue decreased by $27.92\%$ or RM3.94 million as compared to Q4 FY2025. The losses of the past quarter of RM 5.5 million is reduced to RM 1.9 million. This does not reflect a significant improvement in loss reduction after removing the write-down of inventory assets in the previous quarter, but it indicates a stabilization of losses at the new manufacturing plant.

17. COMMENTARY ON CURRENT YEAR PROSPECTS
The Group continues to face headwinds arising from supply constraints caused by the Middle East conflict, as well as severe disruptions in energy and raw material supplies. These challenges are expected to impact the Group’s operations through higher logistics costs, supply chain disruptions, sharp increases in material prices, and delayed deliveries from suppliers. At present, there are no clear signs of stabilisation in either the supply chain or energy markets.
In response, the Group has taken immediate measures to strengthen its inventory position and procurement arrangements, while closely reviewing deferred supplies and engaging customers in ongoing discussions regarding these challenges. The significant increase in costs will need to be passed on to customers, although there may be some timing delays. The Group expects continued negotiations with customers, as the situation is not anticipated to stabilise or improve in the near term.
For the next quarter, sales are not expected to improve but maintained, as customers continue to reduce or hold their inventory levels. However, the Group anticipates stronger revenue performance in Q3, driven by customer restocking activities and the successful pass-through of increased costs. The Group is expected to return to profitability in the second half of the year, supported by the effectiveness of its crisis management strategies and improvements at the manufacturing plant.

No profit forecast was announced hence there was no comparison between actual results and forecast.
