Petaling Jaya, Thursday, 26th February 2026 – Focus Point Holdings Berhad (“Focus Point” or “the Group”) is pleased to announce its financial results for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2025 (“4QFY25”) and for the full financial year ended 31 December 2025 (“FY25”), which reflect the Group’s continued growth momentum and disciplined execution across its core businesses.
For FY25, the Group achieved a record-high revenue of RM311.4 million, representing a 6.4% increase from RM292.5 million in FY24. Profit before tax (“PBT”) rose 11.5% to RM48.8 million from RM43.7 million previously, while profit after tax (“PAT”) improved 5.5% to RM35.0 million from RM33.2 million. Earnings per share increased to 5.7 sen from 5.4 sen.
4QFY25 registered the strongest quarterly revenue to date at RM91.2 million, representing a 22.4% increase quarter-on-quarter. 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.
Global big optic player have acquired local optic players, not a good outlook. Hard time for Focuspoint.
Any price above 50 cents is over optimistic value. TP below 45 cents is more reasonable.
History repeats itself, shares fall to 0.47 company uses cash to buyback instead of using them to give dividends and then bounce back a little. It will repeat until company decide they have no money to do buy back. Then likely will visit 0.4.
Bigger problem should be the management like to issue bonus issues every 2-3 years ; share buyback at reasonable quantity not an issue unless share buyback at almost peak level like the US technology giants..
