KUALA LUMPUR, 25 November 2025 — Hong Leong Industries Bhd (KLSE:HLIND) reported a record-high quarterly net profit for its first quarter ended 30 September 2025 (1QFY2026), driven by increased sales amid sustained demand for motorcycles and lower raw material costs supported by favourable foreign exchange movements.

Net profit rose 10.2% to RM154.89 million, compared with RM140.56 million in the same quarter last year. Quarterly revenue climbed 5.8% to RM983.38 million, up from RM929.75 million, underpinned by robust motorcycle demand.

Outlook: Stable Fundamentals and Healthy Motorcycle Demand

Hong Leong Industries said market fundamentals remain stable, with motorcycle demand expected to stay healthy. The group will continue optimising its sales mix and driving structural cost efficiencies to strengthen competitiveness.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the group said it expects to deliver a satisfactory performance for FY2026.
