Northeast Posts 121.7% Jump in Profit After Tax on Strong Semiconductor and Photonics Demand

PENANG, 26 August 2025 – Northeast Group Berhad (“Northeast”), a precision engineering components manufacturer, delivered robust third-quarter results for the financial year ending 30 September 2025, fuelled by sustained global demand in the semiconductor and photonics sectors.

For Q3 FY2025, revenue rose 46.9% year-on-year to RM31.7 million, an increase of RM10.1 million compared to the same period last year. This stronger top line translated into a profit before tax (PBT) of RM7.9 million and profit after tax (PAT) of RM7.1 million, marking impressive growth of 83.6% and 121.7%, respectively.

Nine-Month Performance

For the nine months ended 30 June 2025, Northeast recorded cumulative revenue of RM83.3 million, up 21.4% from the previous year. Excluding one-off listing expenses, adjusted PBT came in at RM20.6 million, representing a 19.7% increase year-on-year.

Growth was driven primarily by higher sales contributions from customers across Malaysia, Europe, and North America, reflecting strong and resilient demand from the semiconductor and photonics industries.

Expansion to Capture Global Demand

Commenting on the results, Ng Chay Chin, Managing Director of Northeast Group Berhad, said:

“We are immensely pleased with the performance over the past few quarters, which highlights the resilience of our business model. To support growing demand, we are investing in capacity expansion through the establishment of a new factory and warehouse, alongside the purchase of new CNC machinery. These initiatives will enable us to undertake more complex, higher-value projects, while strengthening our ability to serve both existing and new customers in global markets.”

With continuous customer enquiries and a strong industry outlook, Northeast remains focused on positioning itself as a trusted global precision engineering partner while scaling its capabilities to support long-term growth.
