KUALA LUMPUR: BMS Holdings Bhd
remains cautiously optimistic about its prospects for the remainder of the financial year ending June 30, 2026 (FY26).
The Johor-based building materials distributor said demand for surface covering and home improvement products continues to be underpinned by ongoing residential and non-residential developments, refurbishment activities and stable domestic consumption.
In a statement, the group said it will focus on expanding its retail footprint, enhancing logistics and warehousing efficiency, and broadening its product range, with greater emphasis on higher-value and design-oriented offerings.
“Premised on its established nationwide distribution network, diversified product range and prudent cost controls, BMS Holdings expects its business performance to remain resilient while positioning itself for sustainable growth in the coming quarters,” it said.
In the second quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 (2Q26), BMS posted a net profit of RM4.5mil, or earnings per share of 0.35 sen, bringing its first-half net profit to RM9.9mil, or 0.81 sen.
Quarterly revenue came in at RM94.4mil, with revenue for the first six months (1H26) totalling RM179.2mil.
BMS noted that results for the quarter were impacted by one-off listing expenses of RM1.25mil incurred in conjunction with its ACE Market debut.
BMS Holdings said that with listing-related expenses largely concluded in 2Q26, performance in the subsequent quarters is expected to reflect normalised operating conditions as the group continues to scale its business operations.
The group maintained a healthy financial position as at Dec 31, 2025, with total equity of RM276.36mil and net assets per share of RM0.18.
Cash and bank balances stood at RM35.04mil, supported by prudent working capital management and positive net operating cash flows of RM11.17mil in 1H26.
BMS has declared an interim single-tier dividend of 0.2 sen per share in respect of FY26, amounting to approximately RM3.08mil. The entitlement date is set for March 5, with payment scheduled on April 3.
Managing director Ang Kwee Peng said the recent listing marked an important transition for the group as it begins operating as a public listed company.
“Despite the inclusion of one-off listing expenses, our core operations remained profitable and cash-generative, underpinned by stable demand across both retail and project segments.
“Our margin profile continues to reflect the strength of our product mix and operating discipline,” he added.
