Duty Free International Limited Reports Increased Profitability in FY2025 Primarily Due to Land Acquisition Compensation
Summary:

- The Group's profit before income tax for FY2025 significantly increased by RM39.5 million to RM57.5 million, up from RM18.0 million in FY2024.
- This substantial increase in profit was primarily attributed to compensation received from KDN related to a compulsory land acquisition.
