Malayan Cement Bhd ended FY26 on a strong footing, with profit after tax (PAT) rising 34% year-on-year to RM904.2 million from RM672.8 million, supported by healthy demand and improved operating efficiency.
Revenue for the financial year ended June 30, 2026 increased 10% to RM4.99 billion from RM4.53 billion, while EBITDA rose 19% to RM1.69 billion.
The stronger performance was underpinned by demand across its core businesses, particularly for high-grade and specialised ready-mixed concrete used in major infrastructure and development projects.
Malayan Cement said disciplined cost management, greater adoption of renewable energy and waste heat recovery, technology optimisation and lower operating and finance costs also helped offset higher transportation and fuel expenses.
The positive momentum continued into the fourth quarter, with revenue climbing 17% to RM1.29 billion from RM1.11 billion a year earlier.
Quarterly PAT increased 35% to RM223.2 million from RM165.3 million.
The board declared a second interim dividend of nine sen per share, payable on Oct 2, 2026. Together with the earlier six sen interim dividend, Malayan Cement’s total dividend for FY26 stands at 15 sen per share.
