KHPT Holdings Bhd, a key player in Malaysia’s automotive parts and components industry, has reported a profitable first quarter for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025 (1Q25), signalling a resilient start to the year despite softer sales.
For the quarter, KHB posted a profit after tax (PAT) of RM0.61 million, underpinned by robust operational efficiency and disciplined cost management. The group’s revenue, however, recorded a 14% decline to RM23.13 million compared to RM26.96 million in the previous quarter, largely due to a temporary dip in customer orders based on rolling forecasts.
Group Managing Director Datin Eloise See said despite the quarter’s revenue decline, the broader industry environment remains favourable.
“According to the Malaysian Automotive Association, the total industry volume for 1Q25 reached 188,122 units, keeping pace with full-year projections of 780,000 units,” See shared.
Looking ahead, See said KHPT Holdings remains optimistic about sustained growth as the automotive sector continues its upward trajectory.
“With strong fundamentals and sector tailwinds, the group is aiming to expand its role as a trusted and consistent partner for Malaysia’s leading automakers.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect to continue building on our foundation and tapping into broader sector expansion opportunities in the quarters ahead,” See said.
