Kuala Lumpur: UEM Edgenta Bhd has secured an order book worth RM1.1 billion in the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q FY2025), bringing the company’s cumulative order book to RM9.3 billion as at March 31, 2025. Chief financial officer Ahmad Fazril Fauzi stated that the RM1.1 billion represents 39 per cent of the total order book secured in FY2024.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ahmad Fazril highlighted, “We secured RM2.8 billion for the whole of last year, and by the first quarter of this year, we have already achieved 39 per cent of that,” during a virtual analyst and media briefing. Of the RM9.3 billion order book, RM5.8 billion is contributed by infrastructure services, followed by healthcare solutions (RM2.5 billion), property and facility solutions (RM600 million), and asset consultancy (RM400 million).

The company remains optimistic about its future performance, supported by the momentum of its international operations with contract wins in key markets such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Singapore. The group’s operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE reported a 24 per cent year-on-year revenue growth, driven by integration efforts and scaling of newly acquired entities.

Ahmad Fazril further elaborated that new contract wins in Singapore amounting to RM462.8 million within the Healthcare Solutions division have contributed to the order book, while additional wins in Taiwan (RM328.7 million) are aiding the group’s efforts to stabilise and strengthen its business performance.

Regarding its financial results ended March 31, 2025, Ahmad Fazril mentioned that the company is anticipated to return to profitability as early as the second quarter after recording losses in 1Q FY2025, attributing the losses to cyclical factors. UEM Edgenta reported a net loss of RM17.95 million in 1QFY2025 compared with RM9.77 million in the same quarter a year ago, while revenue declined to RM646.06 million from RM677.6 million recorded previously.
