Empire Premium Food Bhd reported a net profit of RM10.85 million for its first quarter ended June 30, 2026, thanks to higher sales from existing outlets. The company's revenue for the period amounted to RM84.68 million. The boost in earnings was attributed to the resumption of consumer spending after Ramadan, increased foot traffic during the mid-year school holidays, and the success of eight newly opened outlets.
Among these, two conveyor belt sushi restaurants opened in Aman Central, Alor Setar, and Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur, contributed RM11.5 million or 13.6 percent of the total revenue. The remaining RM73.2 million, or 86.4 percent, came from their grab-and-go segment. As of June 30, Empire Premium operated a total of 151 outlets across the nation.
The company's CEO, Nicole Lim, expressed confidence in achieving their target of 158 outlets by the end of 2027, noting that the strengthened financial position following their listing on the Main Market has enabled them to accelerate their expansion plans while improving operational efficiency and menu innovation.
