In addition, the Board has declared an interim single-tier dividend of 0.25 sen per ordinary share, amounting to approximately RM1.18 million computed based on 473,500,100 ordinary shares in issue, in respect of the financial year ending 31 July 2026.
Mr. Yeo Tien Ee, Managing Director of Guan Huat Seng Holdings Berhad, commented: "The stronger second-quarter growth demonstrates our ability to capture demand while maintaining operational discipline across both our distribution and retail segments. Following our recent listing, we are now focused on executing our expansion plans prudently. These initiatives include the development of new facilities (setup of a new integrated complex and a new Krubong facility) to enhance our production and storage capacity, continued investments in marketing activities, the opening of additional retail outlets in Klang Valley and Johor, as well as expansion of our product range to strengthen our market positioning and capture growth opportunities. We believe these initiatives will place GHS Holdings in a stronger position to serve our customers more efficiently and broaden our market reach over time."
