*Accelerated depreciation and transition-relatedone-off costs in Q2 2024: RM14.7 million; Q2 2023: RM3.8 million

In the second quarter of 2024, DLMI reported revenue of RM360.9 million, reflecting a growth of 2.8% versus the same period last year. This revenue increase is driven by volume growth and carry-over effect of price increases implemented in 2023, as well as selective pricing on one of the product ranges in 2024 and the mix of products sold. As a market leader, DLMI continues its investments in the Dairy Market and stays committed to its purpose of Nourishing Our Planet and People in Every Stage of Life. In line with this commitment, DLMI strategically prices its products to balance affordability with profitability to always meet consumer needs effectively while maintaining a strong market presence.

Operating profit for this quarter amounted to RM30.5 million, representing a 10.2% decline from the RM33.9 million recorded in the same quarter of the previous year. In line with the earlier announced investment in our future manufacturing activities, DLMI continued the accelerated depreciation of its assets in the Petaling Jaya factory that cannot be transitioned to the new site. As the construction of the state-of-the-art IR4.0 manufacturing and distribution facility in Bandar Enstek progresses, other one-off operating costs related to activities for the construction and transition towards the new site are incurred. The new manufacturing facility was officially inaugurated on 30 May 2024, while full transition of the production is ongoing and expected to finalize in Q3 2024. The production transfer will be followed by the construction of a dedicated Distribution Center at Bandar Enstek to be finalized in H1 2025. The facility in Petaling Jaya will be fully decommissioned in Q4 2024. The reported Operating profit includes costs for accelerated depreciation and one-off expenses totaling RM14.7 million in Q2 2024, a substantial increase from the RM3.8 million cost adjustment reported in Q2 2023.

On a like-for-like basis, operating profit excluding accelerated depreciation and one-off costs stands at RM45.2 million, reflecting a substantial 19.7% increase compared to the same quarter in 2023. This growth is primarily driven by increased revenue and reduced costs of dairy raw materials.

Profit Before Taxation for the quarter amounted to RM29.0 million, compared to RM33.0 million in 2023 as a result of the above-mentioned drivers, whereas Profit After Taxation decreased by RM2.2m to RM22.0 million.

*Accelerated depreciation and transition-relatedone-off in Q2 2024: RM14.7 million; Q1 2024: RM9.6 million

The company's revenue for the current period was RM360.9 million, slightly lower by 0.5% compared to Q1 2024. The slight decline in revenue was mainly attributable to lower sales volume driven by seasonal effects and a changing mix of products sold.

Operating profit for this quarter was RM30.5 million, a decrease of 16.0% compared to the previous quarter. In line with the announced investment in our future manufacturing activities, DLMI continued the accelerated depreciation of its assets in the Petaling Jaya factory that cannot be transitioned to the new site. As the progress of construction of the state-of-the-art IR4.0 manufacturing facility in Bandar Enstek progresses, other one-off operating costs related to activities for the construction and transition towards the new site are incurred. The reported operating profit includes costs for accelerated depreciation and one-off costs amounting to RM14.7 million in Q2 2024, compared to RM9.6 million in Q1 2024.

Excluding one-off costs, operating profit decreased slightly by 1.5% (RM0.7 million) compared to Q1 2024. This decline is primarily attributed to higher costs of goods as dairy raw material prices trended upward and the MYR weakened against the USD. At the same time the company remained focused on optimizing operational efficiencies and managing costs.

Profit Before Taxation for the quarter decreased by RM6.2 million to RM29.0 million as a result of the above-mentioned drivers, whereas Profit After Taxation decreased by RM4.6 million to RM22.0 million.
