Swift Haulage Bhd recorded a profit after tax (PAT) of RM15.6 million for the first half ended June 30, 2026 (1H26), slightly higher than RM15.4 million a year earlier, supported by stronger gross profit and lower finance costs.
Revenue rose to RM385.3 million from RM377.9 million, driven mainly by stronger contributions from container haulage and freight forwarding.
Container haulage remained the largest contributor at RM149.1 million, followed by land transportation at RM136.7 million. Warehousing and container depot contributed RM51.6 million, while freight forwarding generated RM47.7 million.
As at June 30, Swift Haulage had cash and short-term funds of RM48.5 million, with net gearing at 1.14 times against shareholders’ funds of RM732.3 million.
Group Chief Executive Officer Loo Yong Hui said demand across Swift Haulage’s core businesses is expected to remain resilient in 2H26, supported by domestic consumption and Malaysia’s trade activity.
The group is also expanding its logistics capabilities through the Shah Alam International Logistics Hub, which has begun contributing to earnings, as well as its newly operational cold-chain joint venture.
Swift Haulage said it remains cautiously optimistic for the remainder of FY26, supported by its diversified logistics platform, operational efficiency initiatives and ongoing investments in electric prime movers and new growth opportunities.
