| | RM’000 | RM’000 |
| Revenue | 322,631 | 310,342 |
| Segmental profit | 23,602 | 13,746 |
| Profit before tax | 12,496 | 2,497 |
| Profit after tax | 9,278 | 41 |
| Profit attributable to Owners of the Company | 8,953 | 407 |

The Group recorded an increase in year-on-year net revenue, segment profit and profit before tax mainly attributable to the recovery in market demand for certain metal-related trading products and manufactured steel products.

On the financial review for the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s equity attributable to owners of the Company increased marginally by 0.71% from RM859.3 million as of 31 December 2025 to RM865.4 million as of 31 March 2026 mainly due to the increased retained earnings and conversion of warrants. Accordingly, the net assets per share of the Group remained at RM1.06 as of 31 December 2025 and 31 March 2026 respectively due to the enlarged capital base. The decrease in net gearing ratio from 0.44 times as of 31 December 2025 to 0.40 times as of 31 March 2026 was mainly due to the decrease in net bank borrowings to procure raw materials and trading inventories, finance the trade receivables and support other working capital requirements.

Wholesale and distribution segment

The wholesale and distribution segment recorded a higher net revenue of RM150.7 million (2025: RM145.5 million) which represented an increase of 3.5% and the segment contributed 46.7% of the Group’s total net revenue. The increase in net revenue was mainly due to the recovery in market demand.

Engtex Group Berhad

Registration No. 200101000937 (536693-X)

This segment recorded a higher segmental profit of RM8.8 million (2025: RM7.7 million) and profit before tax of RM5.7 million (2025: RM4.2 million) which represented a year-on-year increase of 13.8% and 36.0% respectively. This segment accounted for 37.4% (2025: 56.4%) of the Group’s segmental profit and 45.7% (2024: entire) of Group’s profit before tax.

The profit before tax included a gain on disposal of a property located at Bandar Sungai Buloh, Selangor of RM0.5 million (2025: Nil), inventories written down of RM1.5 million (2025: RM0.2 million) and gain on disposal of a quoted investment of RM2.1 million in 2025. Excluding the above, the increase in year-on-year operating profit before tax of RM6.7 million (2025: RM2.3 million) was in tandem with higher revenue.

Manufacturing segment

The manufacturing segment recorded a higher net revenue of RM168.3 million (2025: RM159.2 million) which represented an increase of 5.7% and the segment contributed 52.2% of the Group’s total net revenue. The increase in net revenue was mainly due to the increase in delivery output for certain manufactured steel products. The segment posted a significant increase in segmental profit of RM15.2 million (2025: RM5.7 million) which represented a year-on-year increase of 167.0%, and recorded a profit before tax of RM8.3 million as compared to a loss before tax of RM0.8 million in 2025. This segment accounted for 37.4% (2025: 41.4%) of the Group’s segmental profit and 66.1% of the Group’s profit before tax.

The significant improvement in segment profit and profit before tax was mainly due to lower production cost on the back of higher production and delivery output for certain manufactured steel products.

Property development segment

This segment recorded a lower net revenue of RM0.3 million (2025: RM1.9 million) and contributed 0.1% to the Group’s net revenue. The revenue was mainly derived from the lease income of properties in the Emerald Avenue, Selayang and Amanja project located at Kepong. The residential units for the Amanja project were 98.2% (2025: 96.4%) sold as of 31 March 2026.

There are still 4 unsold residential units at the Amanja project and 26 unsold commercial and residential units at the Emerald Avenue project remaining for sale. This segment recorded a lower loss before tax of RM0.2 million (2025: RM1.0 million) primarily due to the lower selling prices for the sold units at Amanja project in 2025.

Hospitality segment

This segment recorded a lower net revenue of RM3.1 million (2025: RM3.4 million) from its two operating hotels, Ibis Styles and Mercure hotels with an occupancy rate of 60.1%. In 2025, the segment achieved an occupancy rate of 54.4% from 3 operating hotels prior to the closure of Avenue J hotel in the third quarter of 2025.

The segment recorded a marginal increase in operating loss before tax of RM0.7 million (2025: RM0.5 million) primarily due to borrowing cost and depreciation of RM0.8 million (2025: RM0.8 million).

RM’000 RM’000
Revenue 322,631 374,454
Profit before tax 12,496 24,299

The decrease in quarter-on-quarter revenue was mainly due to the lower delivery output for certain metal-related trading products and manufactured steel products.

Excluding the above, the lower quarter-on-quarter operating profit before tax of RM13.5 million (Q4 2025: RM20.9 million) was due to lower revenue and higher production cost due to lower production and delivery output for certain manufactured steel products.

B3. Prospects

The Malaysian economy expanded by 5.4% in the first quarter of 2026 (4Q 2025: 6.2%), driven mainly by domestic demand. Household spending remained supported by positive labour market conditions, with the unemployment rate staying low alongside targeted policy measures. Investment growth was underpinned by continued implementation of multi-year projects by both the private and public sectors, a high realisation rate of approved investments, and the ongoing rollout of national master plans. On the supply side, growth in services sector moderated while the manufacturing sector performance remained supported by stronger electrical and electronics (“E&E”) performance in line with continued demand for artificial intelligence and data centre-related components. In addition, the growth in the construction sector has normalised from a double-digit growth amid a moderation in residential construction and civil engineering activities. On a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally-adjusted basis, the economy contracted by -0.01% (4Q 2025: 1.4%) given last quarter’s very strong performance.

Malaysia will inevitably face both direct and indirect impact from the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. Higher energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and heightened uncertainty are expected to weigh on the external environment. Nevertheless, the Malaysian economy is expected to remain resilient in 2026 with growth expected to come in within the range of 4% to 5%, supported by steady domestic demand and continued expansion in our export performance. The resilient domestic demand will provide a strong buffer against external headwinds. Household spending will be underpinned by firm labour market conditions and continuous policy support. Investment activity will be driven by the continued progress of multi-year projects in both the private and public sectors, as well as the ongoing implementation of national master plans.

The above uncertainties in local and global economic outlook will pose challenges for our existing businesses in all segments. The performance of the Group will rely on factors such as the recovery of domestic demand, the volatility in the international and domestic metal prices and the timely implementation of projects in the construction, utilities, infrastructure and property development sectors. Notwithstanding this, the wholesale and distribution segment will continue to focus on expanding its existing customer network and product range and sourcing for new products locally and abroad. The manufacturing segment will improve, automate, optimise and expand its operating capacity, and continue to look for new business opportunity. The property development segment will focus on selling its remaining unsold residential and commercial properties located at Kepong and Selayang, and explore property development opportunity or sale of its existing landbank. The hospitality segment shall focus on increasing its revenue from the letting of rooms to the local and

foreign tourists, and MICE activities to achieve higher gross operating profits from its 2 operating hotels located at Selayang and Bandar Sri Damansara.

The performance of the Group in the current year remains challenging as it is dependent on the domestic demand and economic activities.
