KUALA LUMPUR - Malayan Cement Berhad delivered a strong performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2026 (“FY2026”), with revenue and earnings recording double-digit growth.
For FY2026, revenue grew 10% to RM4.99 billion, from RM4.53 billion in the previous financial year. Profit before tax increased 35% to RM1.33 billion, from RM983.5 million, while profit after tax rose 34% to RM904.2 million, from RM672.8 million. EBITDA increased 19% to RM1,692.4 million, compared with RM1,417.4 million in FY2025.
The performance reflected healthy demand across the Group’s core businesses, particularly from projects requiring high-grade and specialised ready-mixed concrete. Malayan Cement’s extensive operational network and vertically integrated business model provide broad market coverage, supply reliability and greater efficiencies across the value chain.
The Group’s established technical capabilities and track record in supplying major infrastructure and development projects have positioned it as a supplier of choice for increasingly complex and sophisticated projects, where stringent product performance, quality and delivery requirements are critical.
Profitability continued to outpace revenue growth, reflecting disciplined cost management and improvements in operational efficiency. These included the increased adoption of renewable energy and waste heat recovery, optimisation of advanced technological systems, and lower operating and finance costs. These measures helped mitigate the impact of higher transportation and fuel costs.
The positive momentum continued into the fourth quarter ended 30 June 2026, with revenue increasing 17% to RM1.29 billion, from RM1.11 billion in the corresponding quarter last year. Profit before tax rose 36% to RM361.7 million, from RM265.2 million, while profit after tax increased 35% to RM223.2 million, from RM165.3 million.
The Board of Directors declared a second interim dividend of 9 sen per ordinary share for FY2026, with book closure and payment dates of 11 September 2026 and 2 October 2026, respectively. Together with the first interim dividend of 6 sen per ordinary share declared earlier this year, this brings the total dividend for FY2026 to 15 sen per ordinary share.
