PETALING JAYA: Innovation, diversification and transformation will remain key for consumer group Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd
(F&N).
Chief executive officer Lim Yew Hoe said innovation had been central to driving the group’s relevance and competitive edge.
This included consistently refreshing its product portfolio and introducing new items like plant-based milk and sugar-free beverages.
According to Lim, despite geopolitical uncertainties and macroeconomic headwinds, the group’s strong financial position, healthy cash flow from core operations and disciplined cost management as well as asset optimisation had placed the company in a solid position.
“Against this backdrop, our priority for financial year 2026 (FY26) is to accelerate market share growth, with a strong focus on ensuring supply continuity across Indochina while building our next pillars of growth,” he said in a statement.
He added at a broader level, the group remained committed to creating sustainable long-term value through disciplined strategic investments that expand its consumer reach and reduce environmental impact.
The consumer group posted RM5.2bil in revenue for FY25 and earnings of RM508.46mil.
The board declared a higher final single-tier dividend of 35 sen per share for the financial year ended Sept 30, 2025.
“This brings the total dividend for FY25 to 65 sen per share amounting to a total payout of RM238.4mil.
“The final dividend of RM128.4mil is scheduled to be paid on Feb 10, 2026,” Lim noted.
