Gross profit decreased to RM6.39 million from RM8.05 million, and profit attributable to owners of the Company declined to RM0.11 million from RM1.57 million a year earlier.
Marine construction services contributed approximately 78.80% of total revenue, falling to RM149.57 million from RM203.31 million, mainly due to reduced work progress on certain reclamation contracts and lower transported sand volumes in Singapore. Building and infrastructure services rose nearly 95.61%, reaching RM40.14 million as work volumes increased on a major building project in Johor, Malaysia.
Gross profit margin stood at 3.40%, slightly down from 3.60% in the prior period, reflecting higher subcontracting costs and lower overall revenue. Basic earnings per share was 0.02 sen, compared to 0.31 sen a year earlier. The Board does not recommend an interim dividend for this reporting period.
The management highlighted ongoing efforts to execute existing projects, including marine transportation contracts in Singapore and building contracts in Malaysia. It also noted a project agreement, through a joint venture, to develop a 99.99MWac large-scale solar photovoltaic plant in Johor. Meanwhile, the company announced that it entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire 100% of a convenience store chain operator in China, aiming to diversify its operations. Management observed a stable financial position with sufficient liquidity to meet upcoming commitments.
