MNRB's 4Q net profit falls 61% on lower revenue and fair value losses
MNRB Holdings Bhd reported a 60.7% year-on-year drop in net profit for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025 (4Q25), falling to RM93.4 million from a record RM237.82 million in the previous year, weighed down by lower insurance revenue, fair value losses of RM29.96 million, and a weaker contribution from associates.
Quarterly revenue declined 11.2% to RM921.92 million.
For the full financial year (FY25), net profit slipped 9.1% to RM394.2 million, although revenue rose 3.5% to RM3.63 billion.
Despite anticipating continued challenges in the global reinsurance market and ongoing natural disaster losses in FY2026, the group remains upbeat on growth prospects, supported by its focus on profitable and diversified business segments.
MNRB shares closed unchanged at RM2.08 today, giving it a market capitalisation of RM1.61 billion. — TMR

Fuel station operators push for delay in subsidy control mechanism
THE government should postpone the implementation of the Petrol Subsidy Control System (SKPS) until two critical issues related to it are resolved. The President of the Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM), Datuk Khairul Annuar Abdul Aziz, said the two issues concern margins under the automatic pricing mechanism (APM) and the merchant discount rate (MDR) charged by payment card companies. He said the APM margin, unchanged since 2019, no longer reflects current costs, causing small and medium-sized operators to suffer losses from day one of the SKPS rollout. 'In addition, the government needs to look into the MDR issue, which is based on sales value, while dealers' commission is based on litres sold. 'Increases in pump prices will raise the MDR, but they do not increase commissions, which ends up eroding dealer margins,' he said in a statement yesterday. Previously, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, when presenting Budget 2025, gave an assurance that the introduction of targeted RON95 subsidies would not impact 85% of Malaysians. In response, Khairul Annuar expressed hope that the association would be able to meet with Anwar, following two years of unsuccessful attempts to do so. 'We believe that only through the direct leadership of the Prime Minister can a concrete solution be reached to ensure the sustainability of local fuel dealers and guarantee fuel supply for the public,' he said. According to Khairul Annuar, PDAM represents the voices of more than 60% of petrol stations nationwide. 'PDAM is always ready to cooperate with any party in advocating for the interests of this industry in a comprehensive and fact-based manner,' he said. — TMR

TM's 1Q net profit down 5.5% on 5G costs despite stable revenue
TELEKOM Malaysia Bhd (TM) saw a 5.5% year-on-year drop in net profit to RM401.26 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25), down from RM424.81 million a year earlier, mainly due to 5G access costs and higher device expenses. Revenue inched up 0.5% to RM2.85 billion, supported by stronger business-to-business (B2B) digital solutions, carrier-to-carrier (C2C) demand, and the education segment, helping offset weaker business-to-consumer (B2C) performance. '1Q25 revenue grew as expected, within the projected low single-digit range,' the group said. Operating costs rose 7.6% year-on-year to RM1.8 billion, though lower net finance costs helped partially offset the pressure. TM invested RM280 million, or 9.8% of revenue, in capital expenditure focused on digital infrastructure such as data centres, domestic fibre, and submarine cables. Looking ahead, group CEO Amar Huzaimi Md Deris said TM is focusing on core strengths to tap into opportunities like data centres, GPU-as-a-Service, cloud, and smart services, aiming for disciplined execution and long-term value creation. — TMR

Lower profits for MNRB in FY25
MNRB Holdings said the decrease during 4Q24 was due to the deterioration in insurance and takaful revenue. PETALING JAYA: MNRB Holdings Bhd will maintain a prudent and selective investment strategy, and while the coverage provider says it will remain invested in fixed income, the emphasis will be on high-quality assets for capital preservation. Capping its financial year ended March 2025 (FY25) with its results release yesterday, MNRB Holdings saw net profit sinking by 60.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) for the final quarter (4Q25), although over the entire FY25, the drop was less pronounced at 9.1% y-o-y to RM394.2mil. Revenue declined by 11.2% y-o-y to RM921.9mil for 4Q25 and actually grew 3.5% for FY25 to RM3.63bil. MNRB Holdings said the decrease during 4Q24 was due to the deterioration in insurance and takaful revenue in the reinsurance, retakaful and general takaful business.
