Kuala Lumpur, 24 February 2026 – Oriental Kopi Holdings Berhad (“Oriental Kopi” or “the Group”) delivered a robust start to FY2026, posting a 30.2% increase in net profit to RM17.0 million for the first quarter ended 31 December 2025 (1QFY26), supported by stronger café sales and rising tourist footfall.
The Group recorded revenue of RM139.2 million, up 42.3% year-on-year from RM97.8 million in 1QFY25, reflecting sustained demand from local consumers and international visitors, alongside growth in packaged food distribution.
Café Operations Drive Revenue Growth
Café chain operations remained the primary revenue engine, contributing RM125.5 million, or 90.2% of total revenue. The distribution and retail of packaged food products accounted for RM12.3 million, representing 8.9% of revenue, with the balance derived from other segments.
Higher sales volumes across both dining and packaged food channels translated into improved profitability, with net profit rising from RM13.1 million in 1QFY25 to RM17.0 million in 1QFY26.
Network Expansion Continues
Operationally, Oriental Kopi has accelerated its domestic expansion. The Group concluded FY2025 with 25 cafés in Malaysia and three outlets in Singapore through its joint venture with Paradise Group Holdings Pte Ltd.
As at 30 January 2026, four additional outlets were launched at:
- Queensbay Mall, Penang
- KLIA Terminal 2 Boarding Hall
- KLIA Terminal 1
- Sunway Velocity, Kuala Lumpur
This brings the total number of Malaysian cafés to 29 outlets, strengthening the brand’s footprint in high-traffic retail and airport locations.
Branding and Tourism Collaboration
In January 2026, Oriental Kopi introduced its “Truly Malaysian Taste” campaign in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia to promote authentic local culinary heritage. The Group’s packaged food products, particularly white coffee, kaya and sambal, were selected as key Malaysian specialty products under joint promotional initiatives.
With a strong presence in shopping malls and airport terminals, the Group is strategically positioned to capture both domestic consumers and inbound travellers, particularly ahead of Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
Strong Balance Sheet Supports Growth
As at 31 December 2025, Oriental Kopi maintained a robust net cash position, with cash and bank balances, money market placements and fixed deposits totalling RM250.9 million, significantly exceeding total borrowings of RM3.3 million.
The strong liquidity profile provides flexibility to fund outlet expansion, product development and potential overseas market entries without excessive leverage.
Outlook
Management remains optimistic about growth prospects in both domestic and selected international markets. Plans include expanding the café network, broadening packaged food offerings and engaging overseas distributors to strengthen international brand presence.
With accelerating tourism flows, growing brand recognition and a solid financial base, Oriental Kopi enters FY2026 positioned for continued revenue growth and operational scaling.
