Betamek Berhad (“Betamek” or the “Company“), an Original Design Manufacturer (“ODM“) and a leading player in electronics components manufacturing for the automotive industry, delivered a strong financial performance for the third quarter ended 31 December 2025 (“Q3 FYE2026”), underpinned by resilient automotive demand, higher production volumes and disciplined cost execution.
For the quarter under review, the Group recorded profit before tax (“PBT”) of RM11.18 million, representing a 95.5% year-on-year increase from RM5.72 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Revenue rose 10.9% year-on-year to RM80.13 million, supported by higher orders from key automotive customers and improved throughput across core product lines. Profit after tax increased to RM8.95 million, translating into earnings per share of 1.98 sen.
On a cumulative basis, Betamek achieved nine-month revenue of RM209.48 million and PBT of RM30.84 million, with both topline and bottom line having surpassed 87% of the Group’s audited FYE2025 results. The Board is optimistic that, based on current momentum and order visibility, FYE2026 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year for the Betamek Group.
In line with the Group’s strong earnings performance and commitment to shareholder returns, the Board of Directors has declared a third interim dividend of 1.25 sen per share for FYE2026.
This brings Betamek’s cumulative dividend for FYE2026 to 3.50 sen per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 64% based on nine-month earnings, translating into a dividend yield of 6.9%. The dividend declaration reflects the Group’s healthy cash flow position and confidence in its operating outlook.
The Group’s performance continued to be anchored by stable automotive demand, , supported by ongoing model rollouts by Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn. Bhd. (Perodua) and sustained sales volumes. During the quarter, Betamek also recorded stronger export contributions, reflecting expanding engagement with customers in Japan, Hong Kong and the region.
Perodua’s continued market leadership underscores the resilience of Malaysia’s national automotive segment, particularly in the affordable passenger vehicle category. With a dominant 43.9% share of total industry volume and 359,904 units sold, Perodua continues to benefit from strong domestic demand, supported by competitive pricing, broad model appeal and sustained consumer confidence.
This strength provides a stable operating environment for automotive suppliers such as Betamek, as higher production volumes and ongoing model rollouts translate into consistent demand for automotive electronics and components.
At the same time, Betamek’s revenue diversification strategy continues to show tangible progress. Non-automotive customers contributed approximately 18% of total revenue, demonstrating the Group’s steady efforts to broaden its customer base especially industrial and other electronics segments.
Gross profit for the quarter stood at RM16.52 million, with the Group maintaining healthy operating leverage despite a modest quarter-on-quarter margin normalisation attributable to product mix and scale-up costs. Management remains focused on optimising cost structures, enhancing production efficiencies and sustaining profitability as volumes continue to grow.
Encik Muhammad Fauzi bin Abd Ghani, Executive Director of Betamek said:
“Our Q3 performance reflects the strength of Betamek’s operating fundamentals. Achieving nearly double-digit revenue growth and a 95.5% increase in PBT underscores the resilience of our business model. With nine-month earnings already exceeding 87% of audited FYE2025 results, the Board is confident that FYE2026 will mark another record year for the Group.”
Looking ahead, Betamek remains well-positioned to benefit from Malaysia’s resilient automotive market, rising electronics content per vehicle, and the continued transition toward electric and smart mobility. Betamek Research Sdn. Bhd., the Group’s R&D arms is expected to further strengthen the Group’s technological capabilities with regional strategic collaboration.
