KUALA LUMPUR, 14 July 2026 – Foodie Media Berhad continues to demonstrate strong and sustainable growth after its integrated Content, Creator, Commerce and Community (4C) ecosystem enabled the Group to surpass its full-year FY2025 performance within just nine months of FY2026. The latest results highlight growing client demand for integrated marketing solutions while demonstrating the scalability of Foodie Media's owned audience platform in creating multiple revenue opportunities and strengthening long-term client relationships.

For the third quarter ended 31 May 2026, Foodie Media recorded its highest quarterly revenue to date of RM13.9 million, representing a 5.5% quarter-on-quarter increase from RM13.2 million in the preceding quarter. The Group's reported profit before tax (PBT) rose 16.9% to RM5.3 million, while reported profit after tax (PAT) increased 21.6% to RM4.1 million, mainly due to significantly lower one-off IPO listing expenses during the quarter. Excluding these non-recurring expenses, adjusted PBT and adjusted PAT remained resilient and continued to improve from the previous quarter.

For the first nine months of FY2026, Foodie Media generated RM39.7 million in revenue, RM21.7 million in gross profit, RM14.9 million in PBT and RM11.2 million in PAT. Its gross profit margin remained healthy at 54.8%, while its adjusted PAT margin stood at 30.1%, reflecting the Group's ability to expand its revenue base while maintaining operational discipline and strong earnings quality.

The nine-month results have already exceeded Foodie Media's full-year FY2025 performance. Revenue reached approximately 107% of FY2025's RM37.1 million, while PBT of RM14.9 million surpassed the previous year's RM13.6 million, reaching around 110% of the full-year figure. Reported PAT also climbed to approximately 120% of FY2025's RM9.3 million at RM11.2 million. On an adjusted basis, 9MFY2026 adjusted PAT of RM11.9 million has already matched the full-year FY2025 adjusted PAT, despite being achieved within nine months instead of 12 months.

At the heart of Foodie Media's growth strategy is its integrated 4C ecosystem, supported by an owned portfolio of 45 brands with a combined following of more than 50 million. The platform enables the Group to monetise its audience through Content, Creator, Commerce and Community, creating a diversified earnings base while reducing reliance on any single revenue stream. The integrated model also allows clients to access multiple marketing solutions through one platform, covering content production, creator marketing, commerce activation and consumer engagement.

During the quarter, the Content pillar remained the largest contributor with RM8.0 million in revenue, driven by continued demand for sponsored content and branded storytelling. The Creator pillar contributed RM3.4 million through key opinion leader marketing campaigns and creator-led brand activations, while the Community pillar generated RM1.9 million from event management and experiential marketing activities. Meanwhile, the Commerce pillar contributed RM0.6 million as the Group continued strengthening its affiliate commerce and account management services.

As advertisers increasingly seek integrated partners capable of delivering measurable outcomes across multiple channels, Foodie Media is well positioned to benefit from the shift towards end-to-end marketing solutions. Its 4C ecosystem enables greater cross-selling opportunities while allowing brands to consolidate content, influencer marketing, campaign execution and consumer engagement under one platform. This approach is expected to support stronger campaign performance, greater efficiency and deeper client relationships.

Foodie Media also ended the quarter in a strong financial position, with RM49.5 million in cash and short-term deposits against total borrowings of just RM1.1 million. This places the Group in a net cash position of approximately RM48.4 million, providing financial flexibility to support future expansion and strategic investments. The Group also paid its first interim dividend of 0.32 sen per share and special dividend of 0.21 sen per share, totalling approximately RM4.7 million, on 25 May 2026.

Looking ahead, Foodie Media plans to expand into new content verticals, industry segments and client categories while leveraging technology and artificial intelligence to improve productivity and campaign performance. With favourable trends in digital advertising, creator-led marketing and performance-driven brand engagement, the Group remains focused on scaling its owned audience, investing in technology and talent, and expanding monetisation across its 4C ecosystem as it works towards becoming a leading attention infrastructure platform in Southeast Asia.
