Techbond Group Bhd’s net profit rose 20.2% year-on-year to a record RM19.1 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2026 (FY26), despite softer reported revenue.
FY26 Revenue came in at RM128.3 million compared to RM146.5 million a year earlier, mainly due to product portfolio optimisation in the chemical segment and foreign currency translation effects following the stronger ringgit. On a constant currency basis, however, the group said revenue still recorded healthy year-on-year growth.
The stronger bottom line was driven by a healthier product mix and higher finance income.
For the fourth quarter (4Q26), revenue stood at RM32.8 million versus RM34.1 million a year ago, while net profit surged 83.6% to RM5.5 million from RM3 million in 4Q25.
The quarterly profit was Techbond’s second-highest on record after the RM6.4 million achieved in 2Q25.
Chief Executive Officer Lee Seh Meng said the group’s underlying revenue continued to grow despite geopolitical tensions, US reciprocal tariffs and currency volatility, supported by a healthy uptrend in export sales.
He added that newer markets were gaining traction, bringing in fresh customers and orders, while the packaging segment continued to build momentum.
Lee said its outlook remains promising, supported by healthy demand, emerging market opportunities and a strong balance sheet.
The group declared a total FY26 dividend of 0.75 sen per share, amounting to RM5.7 million and representing a payout ratio of 29.8%.
