A13 Financial instruments-
Derivatives
As at 30 June 2025, the Group's outstanding derivatives are as follows:-
Forward exchange contracts - at fair value
RM'000
- Current assets 483
Derivatives consist of forward exchange contracts which are used to hedge the exposure to currency risk. The Group does not apply hedge accounting. As at 30 June 2025, the Group had contracts with financial institutions due within 1 year to buy RM53,120,000 and sell USD12,500,000 at contractual forward rates.
The fair values of forward exchange contracts were quoted by the financial institutions, which normally measured the fair values using present value technique by discounting the differences between contractual forward prices and observable current market forward prices using risk-free interest rate (i.e. Level 2).
-
Gains/(Losses) arising from fair value changes of financial liabilities
There were no gains/(losses) arising from fair value changes of financial liabilities for the current quarter and period ended 30 June 2025.
-
Fair value
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorised into the following levels of fair value hierarchy:-
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
As at end of the current quarter under review, the carrying amounts of receivables, cash and cash equivalents and payables which are short-term in nature or repayable on demand are reasonable approximations of fair values.
The fair value of long term loans are measured using present value technique by discounting the expected future cash flows using observable current market interest rates for similar liabilities (i.e. Level 2). The fair values measured are considered to be reasonably close to the carrying amount reported as the observable current market interest rates also approximate to the effective interest rates of term loans.
The fair value of forward exchange contracts were quoted by the financial institutions, which normally measured the fair values using present value technique by discounting the differences between contractual forward prices and observable current market forward prices using risk-free interest rate (i.e. Level 2).
There were no transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy during the current quarter under review.

Profit attributable to owners of the Company | 28,133 | 28,101 | 32 | 0.1% |
In the quarter under review, the revenue has increased RM45.8 million or 33.4% from RM137.2 million to RM183.0 million, with both core businesses, Automated Board Inspection ("ABI") and Machine Vision System ("MVS") registering double-digit growth. ABI remained the largest contributor, while MVS benefited from stronger shipments of tray-handlers and vision systems.
Profit before tax ("PBT") improved RM6.8 million or 22.0% from RM31.1 million to RM37.9 million in tandem with revenue growth, partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange loss. Profit after tax ("PAT") remained flat at RM27.8 million despite a double-digit increase in PBT, due to higher provision for tax expenses following the expiry of ViTrox Technologies Sdn. Bhd.'s pioneer status in mid-June.

Profit attributable to owners of the Company | 52,293 | 45,331 | 6,962 | 15.4% |
For the period ended 30 June 2025, ViTrox recorded a higher revenue of RM324.2 million, marking a significant increase of RM67.4 million or 26.2% compared to RM256.8 million in the corresponding preceding period. The revenue growth reflected a continued recovery across all regions and product lines.
PBT rose RM15.4 million or 30.8% from RM49.9 million to RM65.3 million, in line with revenue growth and continued prudent operating spending. However, an unfavourable foreign exchange loss partly offset this increase. The PAT increased 15.2% or RM6.8 million, from RM44.9 million to RM51.7 million, a slower pace than the growth in PBT. The lower PAT was caused by the provision of tax expenses due to the expiry of the pioneer status incentive.

Revenue | 183,043 | 141,118 | 41,925 | 29.7% |
Profit before tax | 37,907 | 27,413 | 10,494 | 38.3% |

Profit attributable to owners of the Company | 28,133 | 24,160 | 3,973 | 16.4% |
The Group's revenue surged to RM183.0 million from RM141.1 million, representing an increase of RM41.9 million or 29.7% in the immediate preceding quarter. This robust growth was largely driven by a strong rebound in demand across all segments, particularly within the MVS segment.
PAT climbed 16.3% or RM3.9 million, from RM23.9 million to RM27.8 million in the current quarter review, with a 38.3% rise in PBT. Most of the operating uplift was absorbed by the increase in the provision of tax expenses followed by the expiry of the pioneer status incentive.
B3 ProspectThe global semiconductor market is expected to regain strong momentum in the second half of 2025, supported by growing demand in AI infrastructure, 5G-enabled devices, electric vehicles, and advanced medical technologies. The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics ("WSTS") projects over 11% market growth for 2025, marking a healthy return to double-digit expansion. Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International ("SEMI") also reports a 21% year-over-year increase in global semiconductor equipment investments, indicating that industry players are preparing for an upswing in demand. With secular trends in AI and digitalization continuing to unfold, the outlook for the industry remains promising, and customers are already lining up new production lines to stay ahead.
The Group remains cautiously positioned to benefit from the anticipated demand recovery. Ongoing, disciplined R&D investment will help us stay technologically relevant, but exchange-rate volatility, higher reciprocal tariffs to the USA, and component shortages could weigh on near-term margins. We will therefore manage costs prudently and capture emerging opportunities.
B4 Profit forecast, profit guarantee and internal targetsThe Group did not provide any profit forecast, profit guarantee and internal targets in any public document or any announcements made.

The effective tax rate of the Group for the current financial period is lower than the statutory tax rate of 24%. This was mainly due to tax incentives enjoyed by its wholly-owned subsidiary, ViTrox Technologies Sdn. Bhd. ("VTSB"). The current provision of income tax is in respect of certain non-business income and non-tax exempted income generated from non-pioneer products and services.
VTSB has been granted pioneer status for 10 years to undertake activities relating to the development and production of embedded intelligent robotic inspection systems and machines with M2M connectivity and predictive analytic capability for semiconductor and electronics industries. The extended 5-year pioneer period expired on 16 June 2025. A new application for tax incentive, as submitted by VTSB, remained under assessment by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority ("MIDA") as at the date of this interim financial report.
