PRESS RELEASE
PERAK TRANSIT BERHAD DECLARES DIVIDEND AND EXPANDS INTO NEW GROWTH FRONTIER AMID STEADY CORE PERFORMANCE
Ipoh, Wednesday, 20 May 2026 – Perak Transit Berhad ("PTRANS" or "the Group") today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2026 (1Q FY2026).
The Group recorded a profit after tax (PAT) of RM15.6 million and profit before tax (PBT) of RM20.5 million on revenue of RM46.4 million for the quarter. PTRANS continued to deliver resilient earnings supported by stable contributions from its core transit operations, reinforcing the Group's strong operational fundamentals and recurring income base.
In recognition of its solid financial position, PTRANS has declared a second interim dividend of 0.125 sen per share for the financial year ending 31 December 2026, payable on 19 August 2026. The Group remains committed to a disciplined capital management strategy while supporting strategic growth initiatives and its ongoing share buy-back programme, reflecting management's confidence in the Group's intrinsic value and long-term prospects.
Outlook
Under the leadership of Deputy Executive Director, Jeffrey Cheong, PTRANS is entering its next phase of strategic development, aligned with evolving market trends towards asset-light business models and sustainable, capital-efficient expansion.
PTRANS is strategically expanding into a complementary business segment encompassing wholesale, trading, retail and e-commerce of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). This initiative is designed to diversify earnings sources, strengthen recurring income, and enhance long-term business resilience while maintaining capital efficiency.
The strategy also leverages the Group's existing terminal infrastructure and customer ecosystem by transforming selected assets into multi-segment commercial hubs, creating additional monetisation opportunities and unlocking greater value from existing investments.
Central to this vision is the transformation of Perak Transit's terminals into dynamic "live commerce and lifestyle hubs", reimagining these locations beyond their traditional transit function into vibrant destinations that integrate transportation connectivity, retail commerce, digital engagement and modern community-centric experiences.
Press Release – For Immediate Distribution
This strategic repositioning is expected to enhance footfall, broaden commercial activities, increase recurring income opportunities and strengthen long-term shareholder value.
With a clear strategic roadmap, established infrastructure assets and a disciplined growth strategy, PTRANS remains well-positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities, enhance shareholder returns and deliver sustainable value creation in the years ahead.
