Review of Results for the 1st Quarter ended 30 September 2025

Sports Toto Berhad (“SPToto”) reported a revenue of RM1.50 billion in the current quarter ended 30 September 2025, registering an increase of 3.7% as compared to RM1.44 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The Group’s pre-tax profit declined by 34.2% from RM68.4 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year to RM45.0 million in the current quarter under review.

The increase in revenue in the current quarter under review was mainly driven by the higher sales from STM Lottery Sdn Bhd (“STM Lottery”) and H.R. Owen Plc (“H.R. Owen”), whilst the decline of pre-tax profit in the current quarter under review was mainly due to lower results from STM Lottery.

For the current quarter ended 30 September 2025, STM Lottery recorded revenue growth of 5.4% as compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, despite the number of draws remained the same in both quarters. The growth was mainly driven by higher average sales per draw, attributed to higher accumulated jackpot prizes in the Lotto games. However, pre-tax profit dropped by 20.8%, primarily due to a higher prize payout in the current quarter.

H.R. Owen posted a revenue growth of 1.9% as compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, primarily driven by higher sales volume in the new car sector, supported by increased vehicle deliveries during the current quarter. It reported a lower pre-tax loss of RM9.4 million in the current quarter, as compared to a loss of RM11.5 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, which was mainly attributed to higher revenue recorded in the current quarter.

Dividend Declaration

The Board has declared a first interim dividend of 2 sen per share, amounting to approximately RM26.56 million, in respect of financial year ending 30 June 2026. The said interim dividend is payable on 16 January 2026 and the entitlement date is fixed on 31 December 2025.

Future Prospects

The Directors remain cautiously optimistic that the Group’s business will remain stable and resilient. The Number Forecast Operation (“NFO”) business is anticipated to continue its growth, supported by the popularity of its Jackpot and Digit games.

Despite prevailing global economic headwinds and uncertainties, the Directors are confident that it will continue to maintain its leading market position in the legalised NFO business sector. Overall, the Group’s businesses are expected to remain encouraging, with a positive outlook for the remaining quarters of the financial year ending 30 June 2026.
