Amway profit plunges, warns of weaker full-year performance
KUALA LUMPUR: Amway (M) Holdings Bhd has warned that its full-year revenue and profit are likely to fall, citing prevailing business uncertainties. 'Given the prevailing uncertainties in the business environment, the group anticipates a decline in revenue and profit for the full year,' Amway said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia. In the second quarter ended June 30, Amway's net profit plunged to RM2.4mil from RM24.5mil a year earlier, translating into earnings per share of 1.48 sen versus 14.93 sen previously. Quarterly revenue fell 10% to RM266.7mil compared with RM296.4mil a year prior. For the first half ended June 30, Amway recorded a net profit of RM15.6mil, a 72.7% drop from RM57.3mil a year earlier, while revenue fell to RM560.1mil from RM618.5mil previously. Amway said its first-half profitability was hit by weaker sales and rising costs, and it is doubling down on the health and wellbeing segment with new products, ABO programmes and tech upgrades. 'For the first half of 2025, the group recorded a decline in revenue, reflecting the continued impact of weak consumer demand and a challenging economic environment. 'Despite these headwinds, the group remains committed to delivering shareholders' value and upholding our position as a trusted provider of health and wellbeing products. The group will continue to focus on delivering holistic gut health solutions to meet evolving consumer needs,' Amway said. Amway has declared a second single-tier interim dividend of 5 sen per share on Aug 20, payable on Sept 22.

Of the proceeds from the IPO, RM20.5 million will be allocated for the purchase of new standby generators, RM7.5 million for working capital, RM5 million for repayment of bank borrowings and RM3 million to cover listing expenses. Managing director Lim Cheng Ten said the listing marks a new chapter for the group, positioning it to meet rising demand for standby power solutions driven by rapid industrial and commercial development. He added their goal is to continuously invest in technology and expand their generator fleet so that they can support industries that require reliable and efficient standby power solutions. Lim told the media that Express Powerr has established itself as one of the leading providers of standby power generators in Malaysia, catering to sectors ranging from telecommunications and manufacturing to infrastructure and events. With clients that include major corporations, the group expects its services to remain in demand as the nation continues its pace of development.

ACE Market-bound Express Powerr to raise RM36mil from IPO
From left: Express Powerr Solutions (M) Bhd non-independent executive director Rosli Jonid, Express Powerr managing director Lim Cheng Ten, Express Powerr independent non-executive chairman Datuk Mohd Redza Shah Abdul Wahid, Mercury Securities Sdn Bhd director Jamieson Chew Yen Loong and Mercury Securities head of corporate finance Eric Chong Soo Keng. KUALA LUMPUR: Generator rental services provider Express Powerr Solutions (M) Bhd which is en route to be listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on Sept 24, 2025, is expected to raise RM36.0 million through its upcoming initial public offering (IPO). The IPO price is fixed at 20 sen per share, giving the company a market capitalisation of RM186.9 million upon listing, based on an enlarged issued share capital of 934.4 million shares. Managing director Lim Cheng Ten said the proceeds would enable the company to expand its fleet by at least 36 units and acquire medium- and high-voltage equipment to support this expansion over the next three years. Lim said Tenaga Nasional Bhd is expected to remain Express Powerr's largest revenue contributor, although its reliance has dropped to 60 per cent in 2024 from 95 per cent previously. "Looking ahead, we see opportunities in the oil and gas (O&G) sector, where reliable, high-capacity power is critical, especially offshore and in remote environments. We plan to explore this further in the fourth quarter of the year,' he said. He noted that with 27 O&G projects worth RM4.46 billion approved in the first nine months of 2024, demand for generator sets (gensets) in exploration and drilling is set to rise. To reward shareholders, Lim said the company has adopted a dividend policy of 30-50 per cent of net profit. On diversification, he said the group's solar business remains in its infancy and would not be a near-term focus. Instead, Express Powerr aims to expand its presence within Malaysia, adding Penang and Kelantan to its current coverage of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Pahang and Sabah. He also noted that although data centres are growing rapidly in Johor, Express Powerr does not supply gensets to them as they usually purchase directly from manufacturers. "However, we can support them during emergencies,' Lim added. At the event, Lim said the IPO would involve the public issuance of 180 million new shares, representing 19.3 per cent of enlarged share capital, and an offer for sale of 65.4 million existing shares (7.0 per cent). Of the 180 million new shares, 46.7 million would be offered to the public via balloting, 18.7 million allocated to eligible directors, employees and contributors (pink form), 63.2 million placed out to selected investors, and 51.4 million reserved for Bumiputera investors approved by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI). The 65.4 million offer shares would also be placed with Bumiputera investors approved by MITI. Applications will close on Sept 8, 2025, at 5 pm. Currently, Express Powerr operates a fleet of 115 generator units, 70 per cent of which are mobile truck-mounted sets. Nearly three-quarters of the fleet comprises large generators of 500 kilovolt-ampere (kVA) and above, suited for high-demand applications. For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024, the group's revenue rose to RM70.2 million from RM19.3 million in 2021, translating into a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 53.7 per cent. Net profit grew at a CAGR of 43.1 per cent to RM16.6 million from RM5.7 million. Mercury Securities is the principal adviser, sponsor, sole underwriter and placement agent for the IPO. - Bernama
