Tomei's 1Q net profit jumps 33% on strong gold demand
KUALA LUMPUR: Tomei Consolidated Bhd remains focused on strengthening its brand, expanding outreach through promotions, and adapting swiftly to market conditions, while acknowledging that global trade tensions and tariff risks may dampen broader economic sentiments. 'We are cautiously optimistic that our proactive approach will help sustain profitability for the remainder of the financial year,' group managing director Datuk Ng Yih Pyng said in a statement. In the first quarter ended March 31, the integrated gold jewellery manufacturer and retailer posted a 33% jump in net profit to RM27.8mil compared with RM20.9mil a year ago. Revenue for the quarter rose 7.8% to RM348mil, up from RM322.8mil, supported by festive-driven retail demand and sustained consumer interest in gold, as prices hovered near the all-time high level Tomei said the retail segment remained the key contributor, posting RM286.7mil in revenue—up 3.3% year-on-year—while profit before tax (PBT) rose 33.9% to RM34.6mil, driven by higher gold prices and improved gross margins. The manufacturing and wholesale segment recorded a 12.4% increase in revenue to RM61.3mil, with PBT at RM3.5mil. 'We are pleased to begin FY25 on strong footing, supported by festive-driven retail momentum, higher gold prices and consumers' growing appreciation of gold as both adornment and investment,' Ng said.

Rachel Zegler to Star Alongside Marisa Tomei in Movie "She Gets It From Me"
Yara Sameh Rachel Zegler has lined her first film after 'Snow White' and is set to play the daughter of Marisa Tomei's wild-living mother in the comedy drama 'She Gets It From Me.' The film is directed by Julia von Heinz ('Treasure' and Germany's 2021 Oscar submission 'And Tomorrow the Entire World'), with Embankment launching global pre-sales in Cannes. Based on a true story, 'She Gets It From Me' follows Nicky (Zegler), whose engagement celebration turns into a search for her pill-popping, ex-punk rocker birth mother, Charlotte (Tomei). Together, the two embark on an anarchic mother-and-daughter journey to reconnect. The film's synopsis reads: 'YouTube is packed with tearful family reunions, but nobody films the messy aftermath.' 3311 Productions ('The Assistant,' 'Brigsby Bear,' 'Table 19') produces in partnership with Anna Werner for Seven Elephants ('And Tomorrow the Entire World,' 'Sun and Concrete,' 'Treasure') and Jay Reiss (Tony Award winning 'The Twenty Fifth Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,' 'The Oranges'), who also wrote the script. Embankment Films handles international sales with CAA representing U.S. rights. 'The emotional truth of the movie, reflecting parts of all our lives, is truly funny, immersive cinema,' said von Heinz. 'Jay's screenplay captures family dynamics at their most authentic: absurd yet profound, messy yet meaningful. The collision of two worlds creates comedy that cuts deep because it's so honest.' Added producer Jen Dana from 3311: 'Rachel always brings a brilliant depth and humanity to her roles, and we are so excited for her to continue to showcase her versatility and humor as an actress.' Zegler has been on a steep trajectory since breaking out in Steven Spielberg's 'West Side Story' adaptation (for which she won a Golden Globe), appearing in 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes' and, most recently, as the famed princess in the live-action 'Snow White.' She was recently announced as leading 'Evita' at the London Palladium. The Oscar winning and three-time nominee Tomei, meanwhile, continues to mix both indie and studio work, known for portraying May Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside recent films including the Berlinale-bowing 'She Came to Me' and Prime Video rom-com 'Upgraded.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
