PETALING JAYA: EP Manufacturing Bhd (EPMB) posted a sharp rise in net profit to RM5.15mil in the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (2Q26) from RM277,000 a year earlier, as revenue climbed to its highest quarterly level in at least a decade.

Revenue surged 66.6% to RM212.7mil, its highest quarterly level since at least 2016, from RM127.7mil a year earlier, while earnings per share rose to 1.8 sen from 0.1 sen.

EPMB attributed the stronger performance to the ramp-up of its automotive localisation partnerships with Chinese carmakers.
