PETALING JAYA: Sabah-based major road infrastructure construction player, Azam Jaya Bhd recorded a net profit of  RM5.5 million in Q4’25 from RM0.4 million in Q4’24.

This was primarily attributable to the completion of a project, as well as the recognition of variations of price and lower-than-budgeted project costs upon completion. 

Net profit margin improved significantly to 11.6%, compared with 0.6% in Q4’24.

It recorded a revenue of RM47.5 million for Q4’25, compared to RM67.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year, mainly due to a marginal moderation in construction activities in line with weather-related uncertainties towards the end of the year. 

Net profit for the year stood at RM12.6 million, unchanged from FY24.

Revenue for FY25 came in softer at RM208.6 million versus RM274.9 million in the previous financial year, due to a temporary slowdown in construction activity arising from site-specific factors, particularly in the earlier part of the year.  

Despite the lower revenue base, net profit margin improved to 6.0% from 4.6%, partly attributable to the absence of one-off listing expenses incurred in the previous year.

Azam Jaya executive director Datuk Jessica Lo stated the group has remained resilient despite the temporary slowdown in site progress during the year. 

“Construction activities are expected to continue at a steady pace moving forward, as we proactively manage weather-related uncertainties that may affect project timelines,” she said in a statement.  

She said the group is continuously refining our execution strategies and closely monitoring progress across all sites to ensure consistent delivery.

“At the same time, we remain focused on disciplined cost control, efficient resource allocation and timely project completion to safeguard margins and operational performance.” 

“We will also continue to capitalise on variation orders and uphold prudent project management practices to support sustainable profitability.” 

Looking ahead, Lo said it is cautiously optimistic about the coming year, underpinned by our outstanding order book of RM1.38 billion as at Dec 31, 2025. 

“Alongside this, we are actively tendering for new projects to replenish our order book, which will help sustain revenue visibility and support ongoing operational planning across our project portfolio.”
