KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- 2Q26 net profit USD 36 Mn, -5.0% YoY, -18.7% QoQ, taking 1H26 to USD 80 Mn; all four lines sit between 51.5% and 52.0% of FY26F.
- 2Q26 revenue USD 118 Mn, +14.6% YoY, almost entirely Lumut Balai, where revenue doubled to USD 21 Mn after Unit 2 (55 MW) went fully operational on 29 June 2025; the other four fields grew 2.4% combined.
- 2Q26 gross margin 53.1%, -6.9pp YoY, as cost of revenue rose 34.4%: depreciation +15.3% on the enlarged asset base, cash cost inside cost of revenue +83%, G&A +35.6%. 2Q26 operating profit fell 3.3% YoY despite the growth.
- The second half has to do the heavy lifting, and it is usually the weaker half: 1H was 53.4% of FY25 operating profit. FY26 consensus of USD 223 Mn leaves USD 108 Mn for 2H26, 12.6% above the USD 96 Mn of 2H25, while 2Q26 went the other way at minus 3.3%. Revenue reads the opposite: consensus leaves only USD 217 Mn for 2H26, below the USD 228 Mn of 2H25 though Lumut Balai Unit 2 ran in both. Key watch: was the 2Q26 cost jump one-off maintenance, or the new cost of 727 MW?
