Malayan Cement Bhd reported a 34.3 per cent increase in net profit to MYR903.17m (US$214m) for the financial year ended 30 June 2026, compared with MYR672.38m in the previous year.
Full-year revenue increased 10.4 per cent to MYR4.99bn from MYR4.52bn, supported by continued cost management and operational efficiencies.
In the fourth quarter, net profit rose 34.8 per cent YoY to MYR222.92m from MYR165.41m, while revenue advanced 17.3 per cent to MYR1.29bn from MYR1.10bn.
Malayan Cement expects medium- and long-term cement demand in Malaysia to remain satisfactory, supported by industrial and commercial construction and major infrastructure initiatives, including the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone.
However, the company cautioned that geopolitical uncertainty, particularly prolonged conflict in West Asia, could increase energy, construction material and freight costs and potentially weaken construction activity.
