Summary:

• Group revenue for 2Q FY2026 rose 14.5% to RM42.6 million, mainly driven by increased customer demand.

• Despite higher costs, profit before tax surged to RM4.2 million (from a RM2.4 million loss in 2Q FY2025), and post-tax profit reached RM2.6 million (from a RM3.2 million loss).

• Six-month period ended 31 August 2025 saw RM74.8 million revenue (down 0.9%), but profit before tax rebounded to RM6.4 million from a RM0.2 million loss last year due to much lower unrealised foreign exchange losses and lower staff costs.

• Other income declined year-on-year due to lower interest received and absence of last year’s one-off lease modification gain.

• Net asset value per share stands at 31.04 sen end-August 2025, nearly stable from February.

• Cash and bank balances remain robust at RM230.4 million, with strong liquidity.

• DFIL continues strategic diversification, including an automotive components acquisition awaiting shareholder approval in October 2025.

• Group outlook highlights prudent cost management and operational resilience after the closure of a major retail outlet last year.
