Carlsberg Malaysia posts flattish 2Q net profit of RM88.24mil, declares 22c div/share

KUALA LUMPUR: Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd remains cautious over its outlook as higher inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions continue to pose challenges and dampen consumer spending, although there will be a positive impact from the absence of the Prosperity Tax moving forward.

In a statement, managing director Stefano Clini announced the brewer's second quarter net profit, which came in at RM88.24mil for an earnings per share of 28.86 sen, slightly lower than RM88.95mil in the previous corresponding quarter.
