KUALA LUMPUR, Nestlé (Malaysia) Bhd recorded a 20% year-on-year increase in net profit to RM112.1 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, up from RM93.6 million in the same quarter last year. The improved performance was driven by stronger sales and effective cost control.
Quarterly revenue rose 9.5% to RM1.67 billion, compared to RM1.52 billion previously, supported by sustained domestic demand and robust export performance.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company attributed the growth to its strong global standing, particularly as the Nestlé Group’s largest Halal manufacturing hub. It also cited continued focus on quality, taste, and nutrition as key factors behind its strong brand loyalty in a dynamic market environment.
Nestlé Malaysia declared an interim dividend of 70 sen per share—unchanged from last year—with payment scheduled for October 2.
Chief Executive Officer Juan Aranols expressed confidence in maintaining growth momentum and achieving further profit recovery in the second half of 2025 (2H25).
“We remain alert to geopolitical uncertainties that may affect the business environment in Malaysia,” he said. “Nonetheless, we are fully committed to delivering high-quality, nutritious Halal products under the nation’s most trusted and beloved brands.”
Aranols added that the company will continue to accelerate its digital transformation and enhance operational efficiency to support investments in branding and innovation. These efforts will be guided by a deep understanding of Malaysian consumer values and a strong commitment to community and environmental impact.
