KPS Berhad Delivers Steady Revenue Growth; 1Q25 Profitability Reflects Operational Resilience

SHAH ALAM, Malaysia, May 26 (Bernama) -- Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Berhad (“KPS Berhad” or “the Group”) (KPS, Bursa: 5843; Bloomberg: KUPS:MK; Reuters: KPSB.KL) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2025 (“1Q25”), reflecting a resilient operational performance amidst a challenging operating environment, posting a higher revenue of RM243.5 million. The operating profit almost doubled to RM13.7 million, supported by stronger contributions from its manufacturing business. The Group registered a profit after tax and zakat (“PAT”) of RM8.2 million, a turnaround from a loss position in the corresponding quarter in the previous year.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Characterised by slower demand recovery and elevated input costs, the operating environment remained complex, with shifts in the US trade policies continuing to render the global economic activities languid and consumer sentiment dampened. For the Group, however, it was selectively opportunistic: Strong orders from new projects in consumer electronics and medical divisions had furthered growth at Toyoplas Manufacturing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (“Toyoplas”) and MDS Advance Sdn Bhd (“MDS Advance”), respectively. On the contrary, Century Bond Bhd (“CBB”) faced lower offtake, demand volatility, and further price competition.
