Kimly’s net profit rises 10.6% to $16.4m in H1 FY2026

Revenue inched up on stronger contributions from its outlet management and investment divisions.

Kimly’s net profit attributable to owners rose 10.6% YoY to $16.4m in H1 FY2026, supported by higher revenue and improved margins.

Revenue increased 1.3% to $161.4m from $159.3m in H1 FY2025, mainly due to higher contributions from its Outlet Management Division and Outlet Investment Business Division.

The Outlet Management Division recorded revenue of $66.5m, up from $65.2m a year earlier, whilst the Outlet Investment Business Division rose to $5.1m from $3.5m.

Kimly’s Food Retail Division revenue fell by $700,000 to $89.8m, mainly due to lower contributions from existing food stalls and the closure of eight underperforming stalls in FY2025 and another seven in H1 FY2026.

Gross profit rose 4.2% to $45.6m, whilst gross profit margin improved to 28.3% from 27.5%. The improvement came despite higher employee benefit expenses from increased headcount and salary adjustments under the Progressive Wage Model, as well as higher depreciation of right-of-use assets.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rose 7.8% to $48.9m from $45.4m. The group generated $41.2m in net cash from operating activities, compared with $36.6m a year earlier. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $65.1m as at 31 March 2026.

The company declared an interim dividend of $0.01 per share.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
