Taka Jewellery Holdings posted net profit of S$22.65 million for the year ended Jun 30 2026, up 81% year-on-year, underpinned by a 59% jump in group revenue to a record S$283.998 million. Management attributed the earnings growth to stronger contributions across its retail, wholesale and exhibition, and financial-services businesses.
Earnings per share doubled to 4.05 Singapore cents from 2.24 cents a year earlier. The board has proposed a final tax-exempt dividend of 0.536 Singapore cents per share, compared with 0.268 cent previously. Subject to shareholder approval at the October annual meeting, the payment and record dates will be announced later.
Retail remained the chief growth engine, with sales climbing 65% to S$165.4 million, driven by higher gold prices, greater sales volumes and new store openings. Wholesale and exhibition revenue rose 50% to S$110.7 million on stronger exhibition activity, while financial-services income, comprising pawn broking and secured lending, advanced 73% to S$7.8 million. Segment profit before tax reached S$21.0 million for wholesale and exhibitions, S$10.8 million for retail and S$4.3 million for financial services.
The topline expansion was partly offset by margin pressure and higher operating costs. Group gross margin narrowed to 26.8% from 29.6%, reflecting product-mix changes. Distribution expenses increased 26% to S$33.8 million on higher commissions and outlet-related costs, while administrative costs rose 30% to S$9.3 million on manpower additions. Net impairment of trade receivables climbed to S$1.8 million, and the group booked a S$0.3 million foreign-exchange loss versus a gain a year ago.
Looking ahead, the jeweller said it remains “cautiously optimistic” despite volatile gold prices and geopolitical uncertainties that could lift raw-material and operating costs. Management plans continued, but “measured”, expansion of the Singapore retail network, deeper participation in overseas exhibitions and further growth in its pawn broking and moneylending arm. Cost discipline, operational efficiency and investment in brand positioning and product innovation will remain priorities as the group monitors market conditions and adjusts strategy accordingly.
