KPS Berhad Posts Moderated Revenue in 4Q25; Bottomline Impacted by Lower Forex Gains

SHAH ALAM, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Berhad (“KPS Berhad” or “the Company” or “the Group”) (KPS, Bursa: 5843; Bloomberg: KUPS:MK; Reuters: KPSB.KL) announced on 26 February 2026 its financial results for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2025 (“4Q25”). KPS Berhad reported a lower revenue of RM262.3 million for the quarter, as a result of mixed performance across its subsidiary companies. Following the normalisation of foreign exchange gains that was recorded in the corresponding quarter last year, other income came in substantially lower, weighing in on the operating profit to RM4.8 million from RM26.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year (“4Q24”). Consequently, the profit after tax and zakat (“PAT”) stood at RM1.1 million for the quarter, compared with RM10.4 million in 4Q24.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The operating environment reflected a period of recalibration across KPS Berhad’s value chains. Global demand remained measured during the quarter amid evolving trade policies, which continued to influence supply chain dynamics and consumer sentiment. Within the consumer electronics segment, demand recovery was uneven, with customers maintaining lean inventory positions at near just-in-time levels while pacing new product introductions in response to market visibility. In the packaging segment, competitive intensity heightened, particularly with increased participation from regional players, including China manufacturers. This resulted in more pronounced price competition and moderated sales traction across key segments.
