A1 A.K. KOH GROUP BERHAD REPORTS 2QFYE2026 REVENUE OF RM23.3 MILLION AND ADJUSTED PROFIT AFTER TAX OF RM2.5 MILLION
Johor Bahru, Thursday, 26th February 2026 – A1 A.K. Koh Group Berhad (“A1 AKK” or “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) have announced its financial results for the second quarter ended 31st December 2025 (“2QFYE2026”).
For the current quarter under review, the Group registered revenue of RM23.3 million. Malaysia remained the Group’s primary market, contributing RM20.0 million, representing approximately 85.8% of total revenue, followed by Singapore at RM1.9 million or 8.3% of total revenue. The balance was derived from other export markets including Australia, Taiwan, Canada, Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Cambodia and Hong Kong.
The Group recorded a gross profit of RM10.5 million for 2QFYE2026, representing a gross profit margin of 45.3%. Profit before tax stood at RM3.8 million, while adjusted profit after tax (“Adjusted PAT”), which excludes one-off listing expenses, amounted to RM2.5 million, reflecting an Adjusted PAT margin of 10.7% for the quarter.
Compared to the immediate preceding quarter, revenue increased by RM2.3 million or 11.2%, mainly driven by stronger domestic sales during the festive season, including Christmas, New Year, and the lead-up to Chinese New Year. While gross profit moderated slightly quarter-on-quarter due to changes in product mix and higher promotional spending during the festive period, the Group continues to maintain healthy operating fundamentals.
For the cumulative period ending 31 December 2025 (“6MFYE2026”), revenue stands at RM44.2 million. Gross profit reached RM21.4 million, translating to a gross profit margin of 48.3% and reinforcing the Group’s strong direct-cost controls. Adjusted PAT, which excludes the one-off listing expense of RM4.4 million stands at RM6.6 million, representing an Adjusted PAT margin of 14.9%.
Looking ahead, the Group expects to continue benefiting from the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (“SARA”) programme, which is expected to underpin demand for its core product range and support sales during the period. In addition, the Group will continue strengthening its multi-channel distribution strategy by working closely with retailers and distributors, while selectively exploring overseas expansion opportunities. Management is also focusing on developing the HORECA channel, particularly for its curry paste and powder offerings, leveraging the Group’s capabilities in premade pastes and spice premixes to broaden usage occasions beyond household consumption.
Mr. Koh Lian Jie, Chief Executive Officer of A1 AKK, commented: “The Group continues to demonstrate resilience supported by our strong brand portfolio and multi-channel distribution network. As we expand into the HORECA segment and introduce new product offerings, we are confident that our diversified revenue base will continue to strengthen. We remain focused on operational efficiency, disciplined cost management, and product innovation to drive sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

For FY25, the Group achieved a record-high revenue of RM311.4 million, representing a 6.4% increase from RM292.5 million in FY24.

Quarterly PBT also rose 89.7% to RM17.4 million from RM9.2 million, while PAT increased 96.2% to RM12.4 million from RM6.3 million, underpinned by the Optical segment’s strong performance during the quarter.
On a year-on-year basis, quarterly revenue, PBT and PAT grew 9.2%, 48.5% and 34.1% respectively, mainly driven by the strong performance in the Optical segment.
The Optical segment achieved another record year, with revenue rising 7.9% to RM263.2 million from RM243.9 million in FY24. PBT increased 22.8% to RM53.1 million from RM43.2 million. The strong performance was driven by resilient consumer demand, continued network expansion and improved operational efficiency. During the year, the Group strengthened its nationwide presence with the opening of its optical outlet in Kangar Jaya Mall, achieving a presence in every state across Malaysia. Moving forward, the Group will continue strengthening its Optical business through outlet expansion in strategic locations, investment in advanced primary eye care equipment, and enhanced community outreach initiatives.
The Food and Beverage (“F&B”) segment recorded revenue of RM44.2 million, remaining stable year-on-year. The segment registered a loss before tax of RM3.1 million, mainly due to higher operating costs and write-downs. The Group continues to focus on cost optimisation, operational efficiency improvements and expanding product offerings to both retail and corporate customers as part of its turnaround initiatives to improve performance and return the segment to profitability over time.
Meanwhile, the Board has declared a third single-tier interim dividend of 0.75 sen per share for FY25, bringing the total cumulative dividend declared for FY25 to 3.56 sen per share, compared to 2.63 sen in FY24. In line with this commitment towards enhancing shareholders’ value, the Board has formalised an enhanced dividend policy under which the Group intends to distribute at least 50% of its annual profit after tax as dividends. Dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis moving forward, providing greater consistency and visibility in shareholder returns.
“FY25 has been a meaningful year for Focus Point. Our record revenue and improved profitability reflect the steady strength of our business and our commitment towards vision care in the community. We are also pleased to introduce our enhanced dividend policy, where we aim to distribute at least 50% of our annual profit after tax through quarterly dividends, reflecting our commitment to delivering consistent returns and sharing our progress with shareholders. While we are encouraged by our performance, we will continue to stay disciplined in our execution, expand carefully and focus on delivering sustainable long-term value,” said Dato’ Liaw Choon Liang, President/Chief Executive Officer of Focus Point.
KUALA LUMPUR: The consumer products sector will continue to provide a defensive shelter by offering earnings visibility amid the volatile market conditions.
RHB Research said that this will be supported by the domestic-centric earnings bases and resilient consumption.
"Fundamentally, the rising prominence of the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah initiative as a fiscal support tool should direct more spending to the sector, whilst the inclusive petrol subsidy rationalisation approach has removed a major overhang and cooled down inflationary risks," it said in a note.
Other sector catalysts include the stronger ringgit, wage growth and the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 campaign.
RHB Research said the main beneficiaries of the government's fiscal policy will continue to be favoured by investors, including 99 Speed Mart Retail Holdings Bhd and Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd.
"Meanwhile, Farm Fresh Bhd's robust growth momentum and expansion headroom in regional markets should keep investors excited.
"Other than that, we highlight that a few quality consumer retail players – Eco-Shop Marketing, Mr DIY Group (M) Bhd, AEON Co (M) and Focus Point Holdings Bhd – are trading at more reasonable or undemanding valuations.
"This is compelling, as we believe discretionary spending could pick up in tandem with the improving consumer sentiment ahead," it said.
The firm expects to see a sequential pick-up in sales in the fourth quarter of 2025, while earnings should be driven by favourable year-end seasonal factors.
RHB Research maintained its "Overweight" call on the sector.
PETALING JAYA: Focus Point Holdings Bhd has been included in the Bursa Malaysia Quality 50 Index (BMQ) and Bursa Malaysia Quality 50 Shariah Index (BMQ-S), following its inclusion in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) Index and FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Shariah (F4GBMS) Index in 2025.
In a statement, the company said the inclusion in both the newly introduced quality index series highlights the group’s strength in delivering sustainable growth through its strong financial fundamentals and responsible business practices.
The BMQ is Bursa Malaysia’s first in-house “quality” factor index, selecting 50 eligible non-FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index companies that exhibit “quality” characteristics.
Eligible constituents must have at least a two-year listing track record, meeting a minimum market capitalisation threshold of RM300mil and minimum trading velocity of at least 10% over the past 12 months, while not being classified as Practice Note 17 and Guidance Note 3 companies.
the big player that just acquired local optic players, it will be more favourable for FOCUSP cause this player has two segments, B2B, and B2C, so their B2B just lost a very huge customer. Hence more favourable for FOCUSP.
