Gaming equipment supplier RGB International Bhd reported first-quarter profit attributable to the owners that was down 26.8 percent year-on-year, to just under MYR9.1 million (US$2.3 million).
The company’s revenue for the three months to March 31 was up 18.8 percent from a year earlier, at nearly MYR87.4 million, according to a Friday filing to Bursa Malaysia.
The firm’s first-quarter cost of sales rose 32.5 percent year-on-year, to MYR67.2 million.
RGB announced a “first interim single tier dividend” of MYR0.002 per share, for the financial year ending 31 December 2026, to be paid on July 16.
The company recorded first-quarter earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of MYR12.5 million, down 16.2 percent year-on-year.
On a segmental basis, the bulk of RGB’s revenue in the first quarter – at nearly MYR70.3 million – was from sales and marketing of products, a 39.1-percent increase from a year ago.
EBITDA from sales and marketing were MYR8.2 million, up 27.6 percent from the prior-year period. Pre-tax profit from sales and marketing was nearly MYR8.6 million, up 25.1 percent year-on-year.
The firm said the gains in revenue and pre-tax profit for the sales and marketing segment were “mainly due to higher number of products sold and variation in product mix”.
Revenue and pre-tax profit from the technical support and management (TSM) segment were down 27.6 percent and 49.3 percent respectively year-on-year, at MYR16.4 million and MYR3.6 million.
The declines were “primarily attributable to weaker performance at several key TSM outlets and the continued closure of certain TSM outlets in the Poipet region since the beginning of June 2025”. The latter was a reference to a border area of Cambodia that has been affected by a military and political standoff between Cambodia and next-door Thailand.
