PETALING JAYA: Crest Builder Holdings Bhd (CBHB) capped off 2025 with a 130% jump in profit after tax and minority interest (PATAMI) to RM13.0 million, supported by record revenue and stronger contributions from its construction segment.

For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025 (FYE2025), revenue rose 17.2% to a historic high of RM673.2 million compared with the previous year, driven by broad-based growth across most business segments except for its concession division.

The stronger earnings were primarily underpinned by a 90.9% surge in profit contribution from the construction segment, alongside a five-fold increase in profit from its investment division, attributed to improved rental occupancy and optimised asset yields.

For the fourth quarter (Q4FYE2025), revenue climbed 34.5% year-on-year to RM229.6 million, supported by a 40.5% increase in construction turnover and 18.9% growth in property development revenue.

Quarterly PATAMI rose 49.3% to RM5.4 million, driven by a higher-margin project mix and stronger sales and progress billings from The Interpoint project in Klang.

Group managing director Eric Yong said the performance reflected the group’s ability to replenish and execute its order book effectively.

“We are pleased to conclude 2025 on a high, achieving record-breaking performance across both revenue and profitability. These results underscore our ability to execute our order book with precision,” he said.

Looking ahead, the group aims to build on its current momentum in 2026 through cost optimisation, effective resource planning and leveraging its expanded order book.

The board has proposed a first and final single-tier dividend of 2.0 sen per share for FYE2025, subject to shareholders’ approval at the upcoming annual general meeting. The proposed dividend marks the group’s first payout since the Covid-19 pandemic.
