Executive summary
Q2 2026 revenue fell 53.6% YoY as lower cocoa bean prices drove lower selling prices; PBT rose to RM304.7m from RM72.4m on improved margin management and lower finance costs.

Q2 revenue was RM1,803.7m versus RM3,886.3m; operating profit was RM353.8m versus RM157.7m, and PBT was RM304.7m versus RM72.4m.

H1 operating cash flow was RM951.6m versus cash used of RM50.1m in the prior-year period.
Outlook and guidance
Chocolate demand is expected to recover gradually in H2 2026, particularly Q4, as cocoa inflation eases and moderating prices support consumer purchases; premiumization is expected to continue.
Longer-term demand is supported by manufacturers shifting toward real-chocolate reformulation; plans include expanding industrial chocolate and optimizing production.
Supply continuity, operational resilience and working-capital liquidity remain management priorities amid market uncertainty.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
