KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 (Bernama) -- MR D.I.Y. Group (M) Bhd's net profit grew to RM560.68 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2023 (FY2023) from RM472.95 million in FY2022.

“More importantly, net earnings have grown by 66.3 per cent to RM560.7 million in FY2023 from RM337.2 million in FY2020.

He said that in the near and mid-term, the group plans to open 180 new stores in 2024 and surpass 2,000 stores by 2028.
