Nestlé (Malaysia) Bhd reported a robust performance for the third quarter ended 30 September 2025, with turnover rising 21.4% year-on-year to RM1.76 billion from RM1.45 billion in the corresponding period last year. The growth was primarily driven by strong domestic demand and double-digit export expansion, reflecting the company’s growing international competitiveness.
Quarterly profit before tax stood at RM178 million, while profit after tax was RM114 million, marking a steady improvement over the previous year’s results. In line with this performance, the Board of Directors declared a second interim dividend of 60 sen per share.
Nestlé Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Juan Aranols, said the results underscored the company’s strong commercial fundamentals and deep consumer trust in its brands.
“Our performance through the third quarter confirms the relevance of our commercial strategies and distribution capabilities, as well as the trust that Malaysians continue to place in our brands,” Aranols said. “We remain committed to delivering on Malaysians’ expectations of quality, taste, and nutrition, while driving community upliftment and sustainability efforts.”
Nestlé Malaysia’s export business posted double-digit growth, reinforcing its position as the Nestlé Group’s largest global Halal manufacturing hub and a key innovation base. The company’s Sri Muda factory in Shah Alam was recently selected as the main Asian production site for NESCAFÉ Espresso Concentrate, one of Nestlé’s strategic global innovations.
Looking ahead, Aranols reaffirmed Nestlé Malaysia’s full-year guidance, citing innovation, operational excellence, and consumer insight as key priorities.
“We will continue to build on our deeply rooted presence in Malaysia to deliver long-term value through innovation and efficiency. Above all, we remain committed to honouring the trust Malaysians place in our brands — always Halal-certified, proudly made in Malaysia, by Malaysians, for Malaysians,” he added.
