TOPMIX POSTS 82% JUMP IN PAT IN FIRST HALF 2025
Topmix Berhad reported a revenue of RM25.4 million for 2Q2025, a 17.4% increase from RM21.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The stronger performance was primarily driven by an 11.6% rise in sales of high pressure laminate (“HPL”) products to RM22.9 million.
Other decorative surface products nearly tripled in sales, supported by higher polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) plywood volumes and incremental contributions from the newly launched melamine-faced chipboard (“MFC”) range in March 2025. Profit after tax (“PAT”) climbed 52.9% year-on-year to RM4.0 million, underpinned by stronger sales and lower cost of sales, aided by favourable foreign currency movements.
For the cumulative six-month period, revenue grew 15.8% year-on-year to RM47.5 million, with all product segments registering growth including contributions from MFC products. PAT surged 82.3% to RM7.1 million from RM3.9 million in the prior year, further boosted by the strengthening Ringgit since early 2025.
The Board of Directors declared a first single-tier dividend of 0.4 sen per share, amounting to approximately RM1.6 million, payable on 3 October 2025.
