KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 26): TMK Chemical Bhd (KL:TMK) reported a 30.9% rise in fourth-quarter net profit despite a 16.6% drop in revenue, supported by higher factory utilisation rates that lifted margins, alongside lower finance and tax expenses. Net profit for the three months ended Dec 31, 2025 (4QFY2025) came in at RM29.33 million, up from RM22.4 million a year earlier, according to a bourse filing on Thursday. The group attributed the decline to lower sales volume, partly offset by higher average selling prices. TMK added that the 4QFY2025 performance reflected a gradual recovery in market conditions and margin improvements from efficiency gains. Finance costs more than halved to RM2.65 million from RM5.45 million, while tax expenses dropped to RM5.3 million from RM8.15 million, with the effective tax rate easing to 15.3% from 26.2%.
