Revenue rose 42.3pc to RM139.2 million from RM97.83 million, driven by continued expansion of its café chain and stronger distribution of packaged foods, the group said in an exchange filing, as reported by The Edge Malaysia on Tuesday.

Café operations contributed 90.17pc of total revenue, while retail packaged goods accounted for 8.86pc and other segments made up less than 1pc.
Operating margin eased to 17.1pc from 18.6pc previously as operating expenses increased 40.1pc to RM10.66 million from RM7.61 million, reflecting aggressive outlet openings, with 28 outlets in operation as of early December and a further eight to 10 planned for FY2026.
The group declared no dividend for the quarter and said prospects are supported by its partnership with Tourism Malaysia under the “Truly Malaysian Taste” campaign to enhance brand recognition among domestic and international consumers, alongside plans to expand locally and overseas, diversify its menu and packaged food range, and collaborate with overseas distributors, as shares closed down one sen or 0.7pc at RM1.34 on Tuesday, valuing the company at RM2.68 billion, with the stock up 65.4pc over the past year.
