PETALING JAYA: Sunway Construction Group Bhd
(SunCon) will focus on its key growth segments, especially Advanced Technology Facilities (ATF), as it expects the division to remain a key contributor to future growth.
While continuing being active in ATF tenders, the group said it will also keep pursuing in-house projects from parent Sunway Bhd, including hospitals, integrated developments, commercial buildings and transit-oriented developments.
Releasing its results for the full financial year (FY25) and quarter (4Q25) ended Dec 31 yesterday, SunCon posted its strongest 12-month performance in history, underpinned by a revenue growth of 51.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM5.34bil for FY25, as net profit also almost doubled to RM361.8mil.
For 4Q25, SunCon’s bottomline surged 71.2% y-o-y RM118.4mil, despite revenue actually decreasing by 27.4% to RM1.02bil.
In its explanatory notes to Bursa Malaysia, the group said the decrease in 4Q25 revenue was mainly attributable to its construction segment, while the improvement in profitability was driven by contributions from all segments.
“The higher turnover in the corresponding quarter of the preceding financial year 4Q24 was driven by the accelerated progress in RTS (Rapid Transit System) Link project and several data centre projects.
“The group more than double its profit margin y-o-y, mainly due to a recalibration of margins to reflect cost savings arising from accelerated progress in certain data centre projects,” said SunCon.
For FY25, the group’s construction segment recorded a revenue of RM5.13bil and pre-tax profit of RM511.8mil, representing an increase of more than 1.5 times from a revenue of RM3.33bil and an almost twofold increase in pre-tax from RM260.5mil in made in FY24.
“The higher revenue was mainly attributable to peak construction activities from several data centre projects. Pre-tax profit increased in line with the higher turnover and was further supported by a recalibration of margins to reflect cost savings arising from accelerated progress in certain data centre projects,” the company pointed out.
Compared to 3Q25, bottomline jumped 41.3% from RM83.8mil, even as turnover eased 29.7% from RM1.45bil.
SunCon attributed the sequentially lower revenue primarily to certain existing data centre projects having been substantially completed ahead of schedule and newly secured projects being at an early stage of construction.
At the same time, it said the better profitability was mainly due to a recalibration of margins to reflect cost savings arising from accelerated progress in certain data centre projects.
The group proposed a dividend of nine sen per share for 4Q25, bringing total dividends declared for FY25 to 50.5 sen per share.
Collectively, SunCon said its balanced portfolio of ATF, in-house and public infrastructure projects positions it on a sustainable growth path.
“Supported by a healthy order book, strong financial position and proven execution capability, the group remains cautiously optimistic on its performance heading into 2026, barring any unforeseen circumstances,” it said.
