KUALA LUMPUR, 22 August 2026 (The Capital Post) – Malayan Cement Berhad recorded a strong financial performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2026 (FY2026), with profit before tax rising 35% to RM1.33 billion from RM983.5 million a year earlier.
Revenue increased 10% to RM4.99 billion from RM4.53 billion, while profit after tax rose 34% to RM904.2 million from RM672.8 million.
EBITDA also increased 19% to RM1.69 billion, compared with RM1.42 billion in FY2025.
Malayan Cement said the performance reflected healthy demand across its core businesses, particularly for projects requiring high-grade and specialised ready-mixed concrete.
The Group’s extensive operational network and vertically integrated business model provided broad market coverage, supply reliability and greater efficiencies across the value chain, it said.
Its established technical capabilities and track record in supplying major infrastructure and development projects have also positioned the Group as a supplier for increasingly complex projects where stringent product performance, quality and delivery requirements are critical.
Malayan Cement said profitability continued to outpace revenue growth, supported by disciplined cost management and improvements in operational efficiency.

These included greater adoption of renewable energy and waste heat recovery, optimisation of advanced technological systems, as well as lower operating and finance costs.
The measures helped mitigate the impact of higher transportation and fuel costs.
For the fourth quarter ended 30 June 2026, revenue rose 17% to RM1.29 billion from RM1.11 billion in the corresponding quarter last year.
Profit before tax for the quarter increased 36% to RM361.7 million from RM265.2 million, while profit after tax rose 35% to RM223.2 million from RM165.3 million.
