KUALA LUMPUR: DC Healthcare Holdings Bhd remains focused on delivering sustainable growth through several strategic pillars.

“The group is strengthening its brand ecosystem by integrating Dr. Chong Clinic, Dr. Chong Slimming, and NewB Premium Skincare, while broadening its skincare product portfolio to capture a larger share of the aesthetic and wellness market,” it said in a statement.

The medical aesthetic services provider said operational efficiency remains a core priority, with a group-wide efficiency programme and the upcoming enterprise resource planning system set to optimise inventory control, resource allocation, and data-driven decisions.

“With these initiatives in place, DC Healthcare is well-positioned to capitalise on Malaysia’s growing aesthetic and wellness market and reinforce its leadership in the industry,” it said.

DC Healthcare’s net loss narrowed to RM839,000, or 0.08 sen loss per share in the first quarter ended March 31, compared with a loss of RM7.9mil, or 0.79 sen per share, in the same quarter last year.

Revenue for the quarter surged 89% to RM17.9mil from RM9.4mil previously. The higher revenue was driven by higher redemption rates for aesthetic services and improved cash sales collection, supported by strong consumer interest in aesthetic treatments and expanding service capacity.

"We are encouraged by the strong start to FY2025, with revenue and gross profit showing meaningful improvement. This growth is a reflection of our team's dedication to enhancing treatment offerings, improving operational execution, and expanding market access.

“We will continue to prioritise cost discipline and strategic brand positioning to navigate evolving market conditions,” managing director Dr. Chong Tze Sheng said.
