HPP Holdings Bhd reported a 54.5% decline in net profit for the first quarter ended Aug 31, 2024 (1QFY2025), with profit falling to RM1.04 million from RM2.29 million in the same period a year ago. The drop was attributed to lower sales and a foreign exchange loss driven by a strengthening ringgit.
Revenue for the quarter also fell by 12.4% to RM16.65 million, down from RM19.01 million, primarily due to weaker sales in the electronic and electrical (E&E) and sheath contraceptive sectors.
Moving forward, HPP Holdings plans to focus on enhancing its production capabilities, improving product quality, and pursuing cost optimisation. Additionally, the company is actively seeking new business opportunities to expand its client base both domestically and internationally. With the rising global demand for sustainable packaging, HPP sees potential growth in its paper pulp moulded packaging products.
HPP Holdings’ shares closed 1.1% lower at 43 sen, with a market capitalization of RM167.05 million.
