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.”
