Quarterly revenue expanded 14.2 percent year-on-year to RM7.75 billion from RM6.78 billion in Q2 FY2025, driven by strong gaming volume expansions in North America and robust production gains in the group’s plantation division. Group adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) edged up 1.5 percent to RM2.12 billion compared to RM2.09 billion previously.
