Foodie Media exceeds FY25 performance by Q3 of FY26

KUALA LUMPUR: Foodie Media Bhd 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.
For the third quarter ended May 31, 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.
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.
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 4C.
During the quarter, the Content pillar remained the group’s largest revenue contributor at RM8.0million, 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.
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 May 25, 2026.
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.
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.
CEO Nicholas Lim 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.”
