Petron Malaysia posts higher net profit of RM81mil in 1Q
The company said its higher net profit was driven by better production and efficiency at the Port Dickson refinery, cost-effective sourcing from Petron Singapore Trading Pte Ltd, and strong hedging strategies.
However, revenue dropped to RM3.67 billion in 1Q 2025, compared to RM4.65 billion in the same period last year, driven by lower sales volume and prices.
"Despite the drop in revenue, gross profit rate improved to 4.5 per cent from 3.9 per cent last year, as the impact of weaker refining cracks were mitigated by the various process efficiencies implemented across the company, closing the period with an operating income of RM115.34 million," it said in a stock exchange filing.
On its prospects, Petron Malaysia said the company remains committed to pursuing sustainable growth through its continued retail network expansion, as well as plant and terminal facilities, and process improvement programmes.
The group now has 810 service stations operating across Malaysia, including the recently opened stations such as the northbound Petron Mambau in Negeri Sembilan, which is the first station certified by GreenRE in the silver category.
"This station will serve as Petron's model for building more environment-friendly service stations in the future. It would underscore the company's commitment to sustainable and efficient operation, while enhancing customer experience through innovative, convenient, and environmentally responsible programmes," it said. - Bernama

Actress-singer Fazura prefers to leave legal issues to lawyers; prefers to concentrate on new single composed by Indonesian ace Ade Govinda
KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly two months have passed since allegations emerged that the company owned by popular actress and entrepreneur Nur Fazura Sharifuddin failed to settle a RM4.65 million debt owed to a headscarf manufacturing factory. Despite being repeatedly pressed by the claimant as well as by netizens on social media to address the issue, the celebrity has remained silent, going about her daily life, including promoting her headscarves on social media. And on Saturday, she notched up a big step in her career after launching the music video of her latest single 'Luar Biasa' which is composed by ace Indonesian producer Ade Govinda. Speaking to reporters at a press conference after launching the music video Fazura, 41, said the lawsuit against her company is a confidential matter and has been handed over to her lawyers for further action. Fazura, who is also a singer and television host, said she preferred not to comment further as it involves two separate entities. "Honestly, there's nothing I can explain because we have to understand that I, Fazura, and the company are two different entities.

The company is the company, and Fazura is me personally, that's the distinction. "So really, I can't say much about the company or whatever is going on. I've left all my company-related matters to my lawyers to take action," she said. Fazura made these remarks when asked by reporters to comment on the RM4.65 million lawsuit filed by a headscarf supplier against her company Pink Fate Sdn Bhd. Admitting that she is affected by the controversy, the 'Pisau Cukur' star actress said such issues are among the challenges any entrepreneur must face. "What haven't I gone through in the past eight months? Of course, I've been affected. I'm not someone without feelings but as an entrepreneur, I understand this is normal. I don't think it's necessary to explain, because outsiders may not understand and could twist the facts," she said. "I know the business I'm running isn't a small one and I'm confident all entrepreneurs out there will understand the challenges that come with being in the business world," she added. According to media reports early last month, headscarf manufacturer Obor Holding Sdn Bhd is taking legal action against Pink Fate for allegedly owing the company RM4.65 million. Obor Holding claimed that Pink Fate had only paid RM2.68 million out of the total RM7.3 million value of headscarves supplied since June 2022. - Bernama
