Kuala Lumpur, 21 Aug– Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Berhad (“Takaful Malaysia” or “the Group”) delivered another quarter of resilient and sustained growth for the cumulative second quarter ended 30 June 2026 (“Q2 FY2026”), recording takaful revenue of RM2.0 billion, a 7% increase from RM1.8 billion in the corresponding period last year, while profit before zakat and tax (“PBZT”) rose 6% to RM305.6 million, compared with RM287.0 million in the same period last year.
The continued improvement in both revenue and profitability reflects the underlying strength of the Group’s core takaful franchises, supported by sustained momentum across its family takaful and general takaful businesses, healthy contractual service margin (“CSM”) release and higher net investment income.
The performance underscores the resilience of Takaful Malaysia’s diversified business model and the effectiveness of its disciplined approach to growth, profitability and risk management in an evolving operating environment.
Group Chief Executive Officer of Takaful Malaysia, Nor Azman Zainal, said:
“Our Q2 FY2026 performance demonstrates the resilience of our business and the effectiveness of our strategy. We are encouraged that both our family takaful and general takaful businesses continued to deliver positive growth, contributing to stronger revenue and earnings for the Group.
Importantly, this is not simply about achieving higher numbers. The quality and sustainability of our earnings remain central to our strategy. Our diversified portfolio, disciplined underwriting and investment approach, together with continued CSM release, provide a strong foundation for us to navigate changing market conditions while pursuing sustainable growth.
We remain focused on building a stronger and more future-ready takaful franchise — one that is responsive to changing customer needs, commercially agile and capable of delivering consistent value to our customers, shareholders and wider stakeholders.”
The Group’s family takaful business maintained its growth momentum, with takaful revenue increasing 5.7% to RM1.16 billion, from RM1.09 billion in the corresponding period last year. The performance was supported by higher contribution release and increased takaful coverage, reflecting continued demand for family protection solutions.
The general takaful business recorded strong performance, with takaful revenue rising 16.1% to RM806.7 million, compared with RM694.6 million in the same period last year. Higher contributions from the motor segment primarily supported the growth.
The positive performance across both business segments highlights the strength of the Group’s diversified portfolio and its ability to capture growth opportunities across different customer segments and protection needs.
Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, Takaful Malaysia remains focused on translating its strong business fundamentals into sustainable, quality growth.
The Group sees continued opportunities arising from resilient economic fundamentals, the persistent protection gap and increasing awareness among individuals, businesses and institutions of the need for comprehensive financial protection.
Takaful Malaysia will continue to capitalise on its strengths, particularly its bancatakaful partnerships, to further expand its presence in the retail segment through advisory and regular contribution products. These efforts aim to reach underserved and underpenetrated market segments while broadening access to takaful solutions.
The Group will also continue to leverage its digital platform, Kaotim, to enhance customer engagement and provide an alternative channel for customers to access takaful products conveniently and at affordable prices. This underscores its commitment to making protection solutions more accessible through a seamless and hassle-free customer experience.
Given the relatively low takaful penetration rate in Malaysia, the Group is well positioned to capture the growing demand for affordable protection, financial planning, and medical coverage. These market dynamics position Takaful Malaysia to strengthen its presence in the industry while delivering sustainable growth and long-term value for the Group.
At the same time, Takaful Malaysia will continue to diversify and strengthen its portfolio beyond motor takaful. Significant opportunities exist across both the commercial and retail segments of the general takaful market, particularly in asset protection, where growth potential remains substantial and largely untapped. By capitalising on these opportunities, the Group aims to accelerate its growth trajectory and reinforce its aspiration to be a leading takaful provider and an industry champion in Malaysia.
The Group will remain disciplined in its approach to underwriting, capital allocation and risk management to ensure that growth is supported by a strong and sustainable financial foundation.
Nor Azman said:
“The next phase of our growth will be about doing more than simply expanding our business. It will be about strengthening the quality of our growth, deepening our customer relationships and creating greater value across the takaful ecosystem.
We will continue to invest in our people, technology, products and distribution capabilities while strengthening our strategic partnerships. Digitalisation will remain an important enabler in making takaful more accessible, relevant and convenient for our customers.
With a diversified business model, strong fundamentals and a clear strategic direction, we are well-positioned to capture emerging opportunities while remaining disciplined in managing risks. We will continue to execute with focus and agility, with the objective of delivering sustainable long-term growth and lasting value for our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.”
