KUALA LUMPUR: Aquawalk Group Bhd, the developer and operator of several world-class aquaria including Aquaria KLCC achieved record visitor numbers and delivered a strong financial performance following its recent listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia.
In Q4 financial year ended Dec 31, 2025 (FY25), the group recorded revenue of RM29.8 million and net profit of RM6.3 million. The quarter included listing expenses of RM1.1 million.
The group recorded revenue of RM111.3 million, driven by higher visitor
arrivals at its two flagship attractions, Aquaria KLCC and Aquaria Phuket.
Total visitors across both locations reached 1.64 million during the year.
Gross profit margin stood at 60.6%, net profit amounted to RM38.8 million, after
accounting for one-off listing expenses of RM2.4 million incurred in FY25.
Group executive chairman Datuk Simon Foong said FY25 results reflect the strength of the business model and the continued appeal of its attractions.
“Growth across Malaysia and Thailand, supported by improving tourism activity in our core markets, translated into record high visitors at Aquaria KLCC and Aquaria Phuket, healthy margins and strong cash generation.
“As part of our commitment to refreshing our attractions and introducing new
experiential elements to enhance visitor engagement, Aquaria KLCC will introduce a
new 2,500-square-foot interactive zone, in early 2Q 2026.
“The zone will feature projection mapping, augmented reality, and educational interactive elements. As a standalone ticketed attraction, Discovery Zone 6 is expected to increase average revenue per visitor,” he said.
Foong said that in line with the group’s positive performance, the board has approved a dividend of 1 sen per share, amounting to RM18.4 million.
This represents a dividend payout ratio of 48.2% of FY25 net profit, exceeding the group’s policy to distribute at least 30% of net profit as dividends.

cash of RM180.9 million and no outstanding borrowings.
For FY25, the group generated a net operating cash flow of RM50.4 million.
