The largest integrated aluminium producer in Southeast Asia, Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Bhd, reported a 65 per cent increase in net profit for Q2 FY2024, driven primarily by higher selling prices and a stronger US dollar, which bolstered export revenues.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2024, the company posted a net profit of RM505.83 million, up from RM305.79 million in the same period last year. Revenue also increased 5.2 per cent year over year, rising to RM3.95 billion from RM3.76 billion.

However, Press Metal cautioned that macroeconomic uncertainties and rising alumina costs, driven by temporary supply disruptions, have increased expenses. The company remains optimistic, noting that these pressures are expected to ease by year-end as supply conditions stabilise.
