United Malacca Bhd delivered a 50% jump in profit after tax (PAT) to RM142.4 million for the financial year ended April 30, 2026 (FY26), driven by stronger revenue growth despite a softer quarterly earnings performance.
For the full year, revenue rose 14% to RM813.4 million from RM711.2 million previously, supporting the sharp improvement in bottom-line performance.
In the fourth quarter (4Q26), revenue increased 10% to RM200.4 million from RM182.5 million in 4Q25. However, PAT slipped 11% to RM20.9 million from RM23.3 million, reflecting margin pressures in the quarter.
The group said it expects fresh fruit bunch production to remain stable in FY27, underpinned by a more favourable plantation age profile and ongoing efficiency improvements.
Assuming crude palm oil prices and foreign exchange conditions remain steady, United Malacca said it anticipates satisfactory results for the coming year.
Management remains focused on improving labour productivity, advancing mechanisation initiatives, enhancing cost efficiency and lifting oil yields to support long-term performance.
