RGB International reported higher revenue for the first quarter of 2026, supported by stronger product sales in its core gaming equipment business. Revenue rose to MYR87.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with MYR73.6 million a year earlier. Profit still fell as foreign exchange losses and weaker support revenue affected the quarter.
Product sales lifted revenue
RGB’s Sales and Marketing division remained the main source of growth. Segment revenue rose 39% year-on-year to MYR70.3 million, helped by a higher number of products sold and changes in product mix.
The division’s profit before tax also improved to MYR8.6 million. That gave RGB a stronger top-line result even though the group’s overall profit moved lower.
The company distributes gaming machines and equipment across Asian markets. Its performance is closely linked to casino demand, machine sales, venue openings and product replacement cycles.
Profit fell despite stronger sales
Group profit before tax fell to MYR10.6 million from MYR12.7 million in the same quarter last year. Profit for the period declined to MYR9.3 million, while profit attributable to shareholders fell to MYR9.1 million.
Foreign exchange losses were a key reason profit did not follow revenue higher. The result shows how currency movement can affect regional gaming suppliers that operate across several Asian markets.
RGB also declared a first interim single-tier dividend of 0.20 sen per share. That was lower than the 0.40 sen dividend declared for the same quarter last year.
Support division remained weaker
The Technical Support and Management division recorded a softer quarter. Revenue fell 28% to MYR16.4 million, while profit before tax dropped 49% to MYR3.6 million.
The decline was linked to weaker performance at several key outlets and the continued closure of certain outlets in the Poipet region since June 2025. That added pressure to a division that relies on machine participation and venue activity.
The smaller Engineering Services division posted revenue of MYR435,000. That was higher than last year, but it remains a small part of RGB’s overall business.
Regional markets shape outlook
RGB remains exposed to gaming demand in markets such as the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam. Those markets are shaped by regulation, tourism trends, consumer spending and casino development plans.
The company is continuing to look for expansion opportunities and project rollouts across its main operating regions. Cost control and operational efficiency remain important as foreign exchange movement and uneven venue performance continue to affect earnings.
