Reach Ten Posts RM7.1 Million In Net Profit, Declares Maiden Dividend Post-Listing
Sarawak-based telecommunications company Reach Ten Holdings Bhd has declared its first interim single-tier dividend of one sen per share, amounting to RM10 million, for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025. The dividend will be paid on July 31, 2025, to shareholders on record as of June 30, 2025.
The announcement comes shortly after the company's listing on Bursa Malaysia's Main Market on May 2, and marks its first dividend payout as a public entity.
Managing Director Leo Chin said the move aligns with Reach Ten's policy to distribute up to 30% of the company's net profit, reflecting its focus on sustainable shareholder returns.
'With healthy cash and bank balances and fixed deposits of RM63 million, Reach Ten aims to strike a balance between rewarding shareholders and reinvesting for future growth,' Chin noted.
Chin shared that for the company's first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25), Reach Ten posted a net profit of RM7.1 million on revenue of RM23.1 million, representing two months of post-merger performance under MFRS 3 compliance. On a full-quarter basis, adjusted figures would have stood at RM28.4 million in revenue and RM8.2 million in net profit.
Reach Ten's performance was driven primarily by its satellite-based communications segment, which contributed 63.2% of revenue. Fibre optic services and telecom infrastructure accounted for 21.4% and 15.4%, respectively.
Chin noted that with broadband coverage in Malaysia's populated areas nearing 97.3%, and growing demand in Sarawak, Reach Ten sees strong momentum ahead.
'We remain confident in our growth trajectory, especially with our strategic focus on underserved markets in Sarawak.
'This, combined with supportive government policies and expanding infrastructure, positions us well to deliver long-term value,' Chin added. Related

PM: Embrace diversity as a strength, not a source of division
KUCHING: Racial diversity should be embraced as a strength to enhance national unity, rather than as a battleground for rivalry or a means to showcase superiority and ego, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said. He said that in many other countries, such diversity has led to racial and religious hostility, eventually burdening the nation and negatively affecting the people. "Unity within our multiracial society is increasingly essential to ensure that Malaysia remains strong amid the current uncertain global geopolitical landscape. "Never underestimate the potential problems if you are disunited. "The geopolitical conditions are so challenging and alarming. "The future is never certain. But what we can ensure is a united Malaysia," he said. Anwar was speaking at the 2025 Sarawak-level Gawai Dayak celebration dinner at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) here on Sunday night, which was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak Tun Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and his wife Toh Puan Fauziah Mohd Sanusi were the guests of honour at the event. Anwar said as prime minister, he feels proud in showcasing the country's cultural and racial diversity, especially as Malaysia assumes the Asean chairmanship this year and when receiving foreign dignitaries and corporate leaders. He said this was exemplified during a recent meeting with ConocoPhillips chairman and chief executive officer Ryan Lance, where he wore a traditional Iban outfit gifted to him earlier by Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi. "So I told him (Ryan) about Sarawak, about the beauty of the culture, that's what we have to do. "And I take great pride as a Malaysian to speak to one of the great multi-billion dollar companies, probably one of the biggest oil companies in the world and number one in the United States," he said. Meanwhile, Anwar also announced that he will meet with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto this Friday to discuss a proposal for Sarawak to be positioned as a hub for the Asean Power Grid (APG). He said Sarawak, with its strengths in hydroelectric, gas and hydrogen energy, has the potential to spearhead the APG, not only by linking to Sabah and Indonesia's Kalimantan, but also extending to the southern Philippines.

Abang Johari praises Malaysia's global recognition under Asean charimanship
Abang Johari gestures during his speech at the 2025 Sarawak-level Gawai Dayak celebration dinner held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) here tonight. – Bernama photo KUCHING (June 22): Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has extended his congratulations to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Cabinet for elevating Malaysia's stature while chairing Asean this year. He said Malaysia's leadership at the regional level has earned recognition from Asean member states as well as external partners who appreciate Malaysia's approach as a multiracial and multi-religious nation living in harmony. 'We have seen several recognitions given by our Asean partners who observe how we develop our country with people of different races and religions living under one roof as one big family. 'In this regard, we in Sarawak certainly give our full support towards positioning Malaysia as a nation respected by the world today,' he said. He was speaking at the 2025 Sarawak-level Gawai Dayak celebration dinner held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) here tonight. With the support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Abang Johari said the state government is committed to realising the Asean Grid project, which has great potential and would enable Sarawak to play a strategic role as a major energy hub in the region. 'I had a brief discussion with the Prime Minister earlier, and I hope that one of the strategies we adopt will help realise your vision for the Asean Grid, which will provide an economic development boost to ASEAN, particularly through Malaysia's contribution,' he said. The Premier also said the presence of Anwar and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at the cultural event reflected the strong relationship between the Federal Government and Sarawak. 'In fact, I was informed that the Prime Minister had another engagement scheduled for tonight. But he said, 'No, I want to go to Sarawak'… This reflects the close bond of brotherhood,' he added. Themed 'Peji Kenep Panau Pegep', which means 'United We Progress' in the Kayan ethnic language, the event featured traditional performances by the Orang Ulu, Bidayuh and Iban communities. The celebration was graced by the presence of Sarawak Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and his wife Toh Puan Fauziah Mohd Sanusi. Also in attendance, among others, were Dewan Negara President Senator Datuk Awang Bemee Bin Awang Ali Basah, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, and Gawai Dayak celebration main organising committee chairman, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas. – Bernama Abang Johari Tun Openg anwar ibrahim asean Asean grid
