MSB Global posts RM1.51mil net profit, RM13.83mil revenue in Q1
For the quarter under review, the company recorded RM13.83 million revenue and pre-tax profit of RM1.95 million.
The company's earnings per share stood at 32 sen, based on the pre-listing share base of 477.00 million shares.
In a statement, MSB Global said its revenue continued to be supported by its core business activities in the marketing, trading, and distribution of aftermarket automotive parts and components, which contributed RM9.57 million or 69.20 per cent of the total revenue.
Meanwhile, it said the sale of automotive lubricants and fluids accounted for RM4.21 million or 30.45 per cent of total revenue.
Export sales, primarily to Singapore, amounted to RM900,000, with the remaining contribution generated from domestic operations, it said.
Managing director Datuk Ow Kee Foo said this quarter marks its first financial milestone as a listed entity, and the company is pleased to have maintained profitability while navigating a softer sales cycle.
"Our consistent performance reaffirms the strength of our business model, built on trusted brand partnerships, operational discipline, and the growing demand for reliable aftermarket solutions," said Ow.
MSB Global said as Malaysia's automotive aftermarket continues to expand, driven by a growing vehicle population and a rising demand for quality maintenance products, the company is confident in its ability to capture a larger share of the market.
Backed by its exclusive distribution of the GSP brand and a growing portfolio of proprietary brands, the company remains committed to delivering long-term value for shareholders while scaling its presence across the nation and region, it added.

SBC Medical Posts US$43 Mln Q2 Revenue, Net Income Falls 87 Pct
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- SBC Medical Group Holdings Inc (SBC Medical) reported second-quarter (Q2) revenue of US$43 million, an 18 per cent year-over-year (YoY) decline, as the company continues to realign its business around higher-margin services and scalable growth. (US$1=RM4.21) The revenue contraction was primarily attributed to the discontinuation of SBC Medical's staffing services, as well as targeted divestitures and a revised franchise fee structure introduced in April this year, according to a statement. Meanwhile, its net income fell 87 per cent to US$2.5 million, with earnings per share dropping to US$0.02, compared to US$0.20 in the same period last year. Operating income for the quarter was US$15 million, down 47 per cent YoY. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) also declined significantly by 46 per cent to US$15 million, with the EBITDA margin narrowing from 53 per cent to 35 per cent. Its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Yoshiyuki Aikawa said Q2 reflects the deliberate execution of its strategic roadmap, adding that the company has also signalled interest in further optimising its business model amid challenges in Japan's consumer discretionary sector, including trade restrictions and cautious spending. He noted that while revenue temporarily declined, the company is scaling its franchise network, exiting non-core operations, and shifting toward higher-margin services that will drive long-term value. Despite these financial setbacks, the company expanded its franchise network to 259 clinics, and the number of customers served in the past 12 months rose 14 per cent to 6.31 million. The company also maintained a high 72 per cent repeat visit rate. The company recently added JUN CLINIC to its network and acquired MB Career Lounge, aiming to enhance support services for its franchise partners. Headquartered in Irvine, California, and Tokyo, Japan, SBC Medical owns and provides management services and products to cosmetic treatment centres, primarily focused on providing comprehensive management services to franchise clinics.

Tengku Zafrul: Investment commitments do not involve public funds, will not increase fiscal burden
KUALA LUMPUR — Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz (picture) has reiterated that all purchase and investment commitments offered by Malaysia in the tariff negotiations with the United States (US) are commercial dealings by private companies and government-linked companies (GLCs), without involving any public funds or increasing the country's fiscal burden or debt. He said that this approach allows the government to ensure the people's welfare are protected and preserve the country's fiscal sovereignty. 'Although the total amount seem large, in reality, these commitments are implemented in phases over five to ten years. They are also commercial transactions and investments by Malaysian companies and GLCs, not a one-time outflow,' he said during a question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was responding to a question from Lim Guan Eng (Bagan–PH), who wanted to know the measures the government has taken to achieve the now publicly known 19 per cent tariff negotiation outcome and the concessions Malaysia offered to the US. Tengku Zafrul said the negotiations led by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) with the full support of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, relevant ministries and agencies, think tanks, and the private sector, successfully reduced the countervailing tariff rate to 19 per cent from 25 per cent, enforced from Aug 7, 2025 (US time). 'This achievement puts Malaysia on par with major ASEAN countries and once again proves our country's ability to engage in effective diplomacy on a global level,' he said. He added that the government's approach in the negotiations was based on strategic interests and national dignity, without compromising key policies including Bumiputera equity requirements in strategic sectors, halal standards as determined by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), control over local vendors, and the retention of control in the automotive and critical minerals sectors. According to him, the main purpose of the negotiations was to balance the trade deficit between Malaysia and the US, hence a whole-of-nation procurement was taken into account. 'The commitments involve purchases and investments by private companies and major GLCs totalling US$150 billion (US$1=RM4.21) in the semiconductor, aerospace, and data centre sectors over five years, as well as US$19 billion for the purchase of Boeing aircraft in stages by Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) until 2035. 'In general, these procurements are carried out in phases over five to ten years. On average over 10 years, the annual commitment amounts to about 8.0 per cent of Malaysia's gross domestic product or 13.5 per cent of the country's private expenditure in 2024,' he further said. From an economic standpoint, the total amount is equivalent to the annual operating expenditure of major corporate and GLC entities in the country, whether for raw material purchases, technology investments, or asset upgrades. Tengku Zafrul also said Malaysia has offered tariff concessions by eliminating or reducing tariffs on 98.4 per cent of US product tariff lines exported to Malaysia, including industrial and agricultural products. 'Of that total, 60.4 per cent will be subject to zero duty rates, while the rest will see duty reductions of up to a maximum of 15 per cent. 'The zero-duty rate applied to 60.4 per cent of these tariffs is also significantly lower compared to several other countries subjected to similar countervailing tariff rates,' he explained. He informed that Malaysia also facilitated the implementation of several non-tariff barriers, including halal certification in accordance with JAKIM regulations, facilitation of US meat and dairy exports, as well as improvements in monitoring and compliance with labour, environmental, and intellectual property standards. — BERNAMA
