Integrated 4C model delivers RM39.7 million revenue and RM11.2 million profit after tax in nine months, already exceeding full-year FY2025
KUALA LUMPUR, 14 July 2026 – Foodie Media Berhad (“Foodie Media” or the “Group”) delivered another quarter of sustainable profitable growth, with its integrated Content, Creator, Commerce and Community (“4C”) ecosystem continuing to gain scale, broaden revenue opportunities and deepen client engagement. The performance underscores rising client demand for integrated solutions and the scalability of the Group’s owned audience platform in capturing multiple opportunities across a single client relationship.
For the third quarter ended 31 May 2026 (“3QFY2026”), the Group recorded its highest quarterly revenue to date of RM13.9 million, a 5.5% quarter-on-quarter (“QoQ”) increase from RM13.2 million in the preceding quarter. Reported profit before tax rose 16.9% to RM5.3 million and reported profit after tax rose 21.6% to RM4.1 million, primarily reflecting significantly lower one-off IPO listing expenses recognised during the quarter. Excluding these non-recurring items, adjusted PBT and adjusted PAT both remained resilient, improving on the preceding quarter.
For the first nine months of FY2026, Foodie Media delivered RM39.7 million in revenue, RM21.7 million in gross profit, RM14.9 million in PBT and RM11.2 million in PAT. Gross profit margin remained robust at 54.8%, while adjusted PAT margin stood at 30.1%, demonstrating the Group’s ability to scale revenue while maintaining operating discipline and earnings quality.
Strong Momentum Evident as 9MFY2026 Surpasses Full-Year FY2025 Performance
The Group’s nine-month performance underscores the strength of its growth trajectory and the scalability of its integrated 4C platform.
Revenue for 9MFY2026 reached RM39.7 million, surpassing the Group’s full-year FY2025 revenue of RM37.1 million and representing approximately 107% of the previous year’s total. PBT amounted to RM14.9 million, exceeding FY2025 PBT of RM13.6 million and reaching approximately 110% of the prior full-year level.
Reported PAT for 9MFY2026 stood at RM11.2 million, surpassing the Group’s full-year FY2025 PAT of RM9.3 million and reaching approximately 120% of the previous year’s total. On an adjusted basis, excluding one-off IPO listing expenses, 9MFY2026 adjusted PAT of RM11.9 million has already matched the Group’s full-year FY2025 adjusted PAT of RM11.9 million, achieved in nine months rather than twelve.
With one quarter of FY2026 still remaining, these achievements highlight the continued momentum of the Group’s diversified growth strategy, the increasing adoption of its integrated ecosystem by clients and the growing scale of its 4C platform.
Building a More Resilient Growth Platform Through Diversification
Foodie Media has built scalable attention infrastructure: an owned portfolio of 45 brands with a combined following of over 50 million, monetised across four complementary pillars, being Content, Creator, Commerce and Community. Unlike a services model, incremental revenue is generated from an audience the Group already owns, which broadens its earnings base beyond reliance on any single revenue stream and underpins its margin profile and operating leverage.
Together, these pillars allow brands to execute integrated campaigns across the customer journey while creating multiple revenue streams that reinforce one another. Through a single platform, clients can access content production, creator marketing, commerce activation and consumer engagement, supporting deeper customer relationships, higher client retention and increased wallet share.
During the quarter, the Content pillar remained the Group’s largest revenue contributor at RM8.0 million, supported by sustained demand for sponsored content and branded storytelling solutions.
The Creator pillar contributed RM3.4 million, reflecting continued demand for key opinion leader (“KOL”) marketing campaigns and creator-led brand activations.
The Community pillar generated RM1.9 million, supported by event management and experiential marketing activities that help brands build stronger consumer engagement.
Meanwhile, the Commerce pillar contributed RM0.6 million, reflecting ongoing efforts to strengthen affiliate commerce and account management services while laying the foundation for future expansion.
The contribution from all four pillars demonstrates the Group’s progress in broadening its earnings base and reducing reliance on any single revenue stream. As more clients adopt multiple components of the ecosystem, Foodie Media continues to expand opportunities for recurring business and long-term value creation.
Well Positioned to Capture Growing Demand for Integrated Solutions
The marketing landscape is evolving as advertisers increasingly consolidate spending with partners capable of delivering measurable outcomes across multiple channels.
Rather than engaging separate agencies for content production, influencer marketing, campaign execution and consumer engagement, brands are increasingly seeking integrated solutions that provide greater efficiency, stronger campaign performance and more accountable returns on marketing investment.
The integrated nature of the 4C platform also enables greater cross-selling opportunities and strengthens the Group’s competitive positioning as brands increasingly prioritise end-to-end marketing partners over standalone service providers.
Strong Financial Position Supports Long-Term Expansion
Foodie Media ended the quarter with RM49.5 million in cash and short-term deposits, giving the Group significant financial capacity to support future growth initiatives and strategic investments.
Total borrowings stood at only RM1.1 million, comprising hire purchase and lease liabilities with no bank borrowings. This places the Group in a net cash position of approximately RM48.4 million, reflecting disciplined capital management and a balance sheet well positioned to support long-term expansion.
The Group’s first interim dividend of 0.32 sen per share and special dividend of 0.21 sen per share, totalling approximately RM4.7 million, were paid on 25 May 2026. The dividends reflect the Board’s confidence in the Group’s consistent profitability and strong cash generation, and its commitment to rewarding shareholders as the business continues to grow.
The Group continues to execute its post-listing growth plans, with IPO proceeds being progressively deployed towards workforce expansion, investment in artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled software and equipment upgrades to strengthen future production capabilities.
These investments are expected to enhance operational efficiency, expand service offerings and support the continued evolution of the Group’s integrated 4C platform.
Outlook
The Group intends to continue diversifying into new content verticals, industry segments and client categories while leveraging technology and AI to enhance productivity and campaign performance.
Supported by favourable long-term trends in digital advertising, creator-led marketing and performance-driven brand engagement, Foodie Media is well positioned to sustain its growth trajectory and create long-term value for clients, employees and shareholders.
Nicholas Lim Pinn Yang, Chief Executive Officer of Foodie Media Berhad, said: “Our results demonstrate the growing relevance of Foodie Media’s integrated platform approach.
“A particularly encouraging milestone is that, after just nine months, we have already surpassed our full-year FY2025 revenue, PBT and PAT. During the quarter we also paid our first interim and special dividends, rewarding shareholders as the Group continues to deliver consistent and profitable growth. This demonstrates the growing scale of our platform, the strength of client demand and the resilience of our diversified business model.”
“Backed by a strong balance sheet and supported by favourable industry trends, we remain focused on scaling the audience we own, investing in technology and talent, and deepening how we monetise that audience across the 4Cs, as we work towards becoming the attention infrastructure of Southeast Asia.”
