B1 Performance Review of the Group

Current Quarter 2026 vs Corresponding Quarter 2025

Current quarter ended 31.03.2026 RM'000 Preceding year corresponding quarter ended 31.03.2025 RM'000 Changes
RM'000 %
Revenue 21,847 31,401 (9,554) -30.4%
Profit before taxation 869 2,760 (1,891) -68.5%

Revenue for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 was RM21.8 million, representing a decline of RM9.6 million compared with the same quarter ended 31 March 2025. This decrease was mainly due to customers who export to the United States being affected by tariffs imposed by the US government that was announced in April 2025. As a result, these customers reduced their exports to the United States from the second quarter of 2025 onwards, which led to a lower demand for packaging materials. Consequently, profit before tax declined to RM869 thousand for the quarter ended 31 March 2026, compared to RM2.76 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2025.

Current Quarter 2026 vs Preceding Quarter

Current quarter ended 31.03.2026 RM'000 Preceding quarter ended 31.12.2025 RM'000 Changes
RM'000 %
Revenue 21,847 22,545 (698) -3.1%
Profit before taxation 869 587 282 48.0%

Revenue for the current quarter ended 31 March 2026 is lower than that of the preceding quarter by less than a million or 3%. Revenue from the solar energy sector has dropped significantly. Profit before tax registered a small improvement of RM282 thousand as compared to the preceding quarter with tighter control over expenses.

B2. Prospect

Demand for packaging materials from key customers in the solar energy sector is expected to contract further. In the past year, contribution from the solar sector accounted for more than 50% of the group's total revenue. The companies affected by the tariffs have scaled back their operations in the region. Despite the decline in revenue, we stay committed in expanding our customer base and delivering exceptional quality and timely service to all our customers.
