United Motors reports Rs. 2.4 bn profit in 9-months-FY25/26
View(s):United Motors Group (UML) has reported a year-to-date Group Profit after Tax (PAT) of Rs. 2.4 billion for the nine months ending December 31, 2025, up by 5,315 per cent compared to the same period last year.
At the company level, UML’s profit increased to Rs. 1.1 billion, a growth of 537 per cent compared to the previous year, the company said in a media release.
With the import ban lifted, strong demand has been witnessed for the mid-range Mitsubishi SUVs and FUSO commercial vehicles, with pre-orders for future shipments. Sales performance has also been at its highest level in recent years, with a wide cross-section of vehicles utilising UML’s workshops across its nine island-wide locations. The launch of the New Mitsubishi Destinator (a 1.5-litre turbo 7-seater) in December is expected to continue bolstering performance in the coming quarters, considering the high demand and existing pre-orders.
Group revenue reached Rs. 33.3 billion year-to-date, compared to Rs. 7.9 billion in the prior-year period, reflecting an increase of 323 per cent.
At the subsidiary level, a key driver of performance was the Perodua range from Unimo Enterprises, catering to a wider market due to its entry level pricing. Performance in Q3 were further supported by an expansion of the Perodua model lineup, where the model range increased from three models/variations to six, including the Perodua’s new Ativa 1,000cc compact SUV. Over 300 units were sold in its first month of launch in the quarter.
Unimo’s newest venture into the Electric Vehicle (EV) and Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) space is expected to add to the portfolio in the coming months.
