KUALA LUMPUR, 12 February 2026 – Vanzo Holdings Berhad (“Vanzo” or the “Group”), a leading Malaysian air fragrance brand known for its in-house lifestyle scent solutions, returned to profitability in the first quarter of financial year 2026 (1QFY2026), delivering a net profit of RM1.6 million on the back of strong revenue growth, product innovation, and expanding retail presence.
The turnaround reflects strengthening consumer demand, rising brand traction across both physical and digital channels, and Vanzo’s continued execution of its retail expansion and product diversification strategy.
Revenue Jumps 45% as Demand Strengthens Across Core Product Lines
Vanzo recorded revenue of RM17.4 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2025, representing a 45% increase compared with RM12.0 million in the corresponding quarter last year.
The strong topline growth translated into profit after tax of RM1.6 million, marking a return to profitability from a loss recorded in the same quarter a year earlier.
The performance improvement was driven by sustained demand across the Group’s key product categories, including:
- VANZO LX Series
- Smart Car Diffuser range
- Mini Vent Series
- Newly launched licensed collections such as Hello Kitty and Zootopia Series
These product lines continue to resonate strongly with consumers, reflecting Vanzo’s ability to combine lifestyle branding, product innovation, and premium scent technology.
December 2025 was particularly strong, contributing significantly to overall quarterly performance, supported by festive demand and robust consumer spending.
Retail Expansion Strategy Gains Momentum with New Kiosks
Vanzo continues to strengthen its physical retail footprint as part of its aggressive expansion strategy.
During the quarter, the Group opened two new retail kiosks:
- 8th kiosk at Imago Shopping Mall, Sabah (November 2025)
- 9th kiosk at KSL City Mall, Johor Bahru (December 2025)
The expansion enhances Vanzo’s nationwide presence and strengthens its ability to engage directly with consumers.
Physical retail remains an important pillar of Vanzo’s omnichannel strategy, complementing its growing presence across e-commerce platforms, specialty stores, and retail partnerships.
Strategic Partnerships and Omnichannel Distribution Support Growth
Beyond physical expansion, Vanzo continues to strengthen its distribution network through strategic collaborations with major retailers and digital marketplaces.
This integrated retail strategy ensures broader product accessibility across both offline and online channels, enhancing brand visibility and customer reach.
The Group’s strong brand recognition and loyal customer base continue to underpin stable and growing sales momentum.
Strategic Focus on Product Innovation and New Market Expansion
Vanzo is positioning itself for sustained growth through product innovation, business diversification, and market expansion.
Executive Director Eddie Ng said the Group will adopt a more aggressive approach in expanding into new business segments and markets.
“Moving forward, we will take a bolder approach in venturing into new areas of the business, including expanding our business-to-business segment, launching new products, and entering new markets to strengthen our presence and drive sustainable growth,” he said.
The expansion into B2B channels presents new opportunities, including corporate clients, automotive partnerships, hospitality, and retail collaborations.
These initiatives are expected to complement Vanzo’s core consumer business and create new recurring revenue streams.
Strong Brand Positioning and Consumer Trends Support Long-Term Growth
Vanzo operates in the fast-growing lifestyle fragrance and scent marketing segment, which continues to benefit from rising consumer interest in home ambience, vehicle customisation, and lifestyle personalisation.
The Group’s success reflects its ability to combine:
- Strong brand identity
- Product innovation and licensing partnerships
- Omnichannel distribution strategy
- Retail footprint expansion
This integrated approach strengthens Vanzo’s competitive positioning within Malaysia’s lifestyle and consumer products sector.
Outlook: Positioned for Sustainable Earnings Recovery and Expansion
With revenue growth accelerating, retail expansion underway, and strategic initiatives gaining traction, Vanzo is well-positioned to sustain its earnings recovery.
The Group’s focus on innovation, retail expansion, B2B growth, and new market entry provides multiple growth catalysts for the coming financial periods.
As consumer demand remains resilient and Vanzo continues expanding its product ecosystem and retail presence, the Group is entering FY2026 with renewed earnings momentum and stronger long-term growth prospects.
