(BFood) is optimistic about its operating performance, expecting improvement and regained momentum in the remaining quarters of the financial year ending June 30, 2024 (FY24).
“The board of directors believes that the operating performance results will rebound and regain momentum, considering the current situation as short-term and things are anticipated to progress positively moving forward,” BFood said in the notes accompanying its financial results.

Revenue for the quarter tumbled 38% to RM182.5mil compared with RM295.3mil a year ago.
BFood said the drop in revenue was mainly due to the boycott in relation to the conflict in the Middle East.
