Edgenta Eyes Recovery As International Wins Set To Offset Q1 Challenges

KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- UEM Edgenta Berhad (“UEM Edgenta”), a regional leader in Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2025 (“Q1 FY2025”), reporting a Loss Before Tax (LBT) of RM11.8 million, compared to a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of RM19.6 million in the same period last year. Revenue stood at RM646.1 million, a 4.6% decrease from RM677.6 million in Q1 FY2024. The performance was primarily affected by higher operational costs, particularly in manpower, as well as the completion of several one-off contracts and cyclical factors.

Despite these headwinds, UEM Edgenta is seeing positive momentum from its international operations, which are expected to support performance moving forward. The Group’s operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE achieved a strong 24% year-on-year revenue growth, driven by effective integration efforts and the scaling of newly acquired entities. In Singapore, new contract wins amounting to RM462.8 million within the Healthcare Solutions division contributed to an encouraging orderbook, while additional wins in Taiwan (RM328.7 million) are also supporting the Group’s efforts
