Pos Malaysia has released its financial results for the second quarter of financial year 2025, reporting a revenue of M$441.6m (US$104.53m) and a reduced loss before tax of M$42.3m (US$10m), which it describes as “positive improvement”.
The postal segment “continues to be challenged by structural declines, intense competition and a challenging regulatory courier landscape”, according to the post, but delivered solid parcel volume growth from the continued integration of mail and parcel operations.
Pos Malaysia’s retail segment maintained steady year-on-year performance through operational efficiencies, digitalization efforts and new service offerings and its aviation segment registered strong performance during the quarter.
Performance in the logistics segment softened, owing to “dampened demand in the automotive and freight sectors coupled with extended downtime of one marine vessel, which is expected to resume service in early Q3”.
Despite these headwinds, the company says it is continuing to focus on its third-party logistics (3PL) growth strategy and build operational efficiency.
Charles Brewer, group chief executive officer of Pos Malaysia Group, said, “At Pos Malaysia, we are entering the next chapter of our transformation journey – one that is focused on long-term financial sustainability, regulatory reform and evolving our business models to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world.
“We recognise the challenges posed by a difficult and dynamic external landscape, and therefore, the outlook for the remainder of FY 2025 remains demanding. However, we are confident that our continued focus on innovation, enhancing operational efficiencies and adapting to market dynamics will continue to drive progress and create value for all.”
