SHAH ALAM, Malaysia, Aug 29 Aug (Bernama) — Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Berhad (“KPS Berhad” or “the Group”) (KPS, Bursa: 5843; Bloomberg: KUPS:MK; Reuters: KPSB.KL) yesterday announced its financial results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2025 (“2Q25”). KPS Berhad reported a lower revenue of RM268.8 million for the quarter, compared to RM280.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year (“2Q24”), reflecting mixed performance across its subsidiary companies. In line with the moderating lower topline momentum, operating profit trailed lower year-on-year (“YoY”) to RM19.8 million from RM20.6 million, despite a more favourable product mix and an optimised cost structure. The Group posted a higher profit after tax and zakat (“PAT”) of RM13.0 million, up from RM10.1 million in 2Q24, driven by lower finance costs.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The operating environment and consumer sentiment remained affected by ongoing uncertainties surrounding US trade policies, disrupting the supply chain with increased volatility across various industries. While demand improved in sectors such as consumer electronics, semiconductors and selected areas of healthcare, growth in automotive, communications, and IT remained subdued. Additionally, the packaging sector continued to face challenges from oversupply, leading to heightened price competition as companies sought to maintain market share. As a result, KPS Berhad recorded a lower revenue of RM268.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, posting a 4% decline compared to RM280.7 million in the same quarter last year.
