PETALING JAYA: MR DIY Group (M) Bhd
expects earnings to continue to be supported by stable economic fundamentals going forward.
For the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 (4Q25), the group’s net profit rose by 11% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM163.8mil. The group said the improvement reflects its disciplined promotional strategy and benefits from favourable inventory costs arising from the stronger ringgit.
Revenue for 4Q25 increased by 9% y-o-y to RM1.28bil, driven mainly by the addition of 121 net new stores and positive like-for-like sales, with contributions from the festive season, school holidays and promotional campaigns.
For the full year of the financial year 2025 (FY25), the group’s net profit was up by 11% y-o-y to RM632.69mil, primarily driven by lower average inventory costs as the ringgit strengthened against the Chinese renminbi and US dollar.
Revenue for FY25 increased by 7% y-o-y to RM4.95bil, underpinned by a network expansion of 8.4% y-o-y to 1,556 outlets. Total transactions increased 8.2% to 197.8 million, with average basket value declining 1.6% y-o-y.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the group said the stable economic fundamentals include rakyat-centred government spending, moderating inflation, low unemployment, and the strengthening ringgit. The company said it is well-positioned to benefit from these conditions while maintaining its value proposition to customers.
MR DIY said it targets to open approximately 155 new stores in FY26 across its core brands and sub-brands, applying stringent site selection criteria focused on sustainable store-level economics and catchment demographics.
The company added its disciplined approach to network expansion, supported by ongoing efficiency initiatives and a strong market position, continues to underpin resilient and sustainable growth.
Chief executive officer Adrian Ong said the company’s results reflect the decisive action it took this year to invest in value, quality and service.
“We kept prices down through strategic promotional campaigns and quality assurance, while continuing to invest in technology to reduce costs and drive efficiencies. Our automated distribution centre, commissioned in 2024, is showing steady progress, and will deliver further scale benefits at optimum utilisation,” he said in a statement yesterday.
Ong said the group’s ongoing expansion in East Malaysia, along with its continued commitment to offering value-for-money products, positions the company well to capture a broader customer base.
“In 2026, we remain committed to offering great value, a broad assortment, and a convenient shopping experience. We are targeting 155 new stores with a stringent site selection focused on sustainable economics. This disciplined expansion, combined with ongoing efficiency initiatives, provides a foundation for steady, sustainable growth,” he said.
The group declared an interim single tier dividend of 3.8 sen in 4Q25.
