KUALA LUMPUR, 26 August 2025 – AutoCount Dotcom Berhad (“AutoCount” or “the Group”), a leading provider of financial management software, delivered a stellar performance in the second quarter ended 30 June 2025 (Q2 FY2025), with profit after tax (PAT) nearly doubling to RM8.6 million, up 90.4% year-on-year from RM4.5 million. Revenue surged 49.3% to RM20.2 million, supported by continued strong demand for its e-invoicing solutions.
For the first half of FY2025, the Group recorded revenue of RM45.7 million, an increase of 68.2% compared with the same period last year. PAT soared 159.2% year-on-year to RM22.3 million, underlining the strength of AutoCount’s business model and scalable operations. Operating cash flow remained robust at RM31.8 million in 1H FY2025, reinforcing its financial resilience and ability to fund growth initiatives.
Dividend Rewards and Shareholder Gains
Reflecting confidence in its financial strength, the Board declared an interim dividend of 2 sen per share amounting to RM11.0 million. Since its May 2023 listing, AutoCount has declared a total of RM55.05 million in dividends (10 sen per share), with four payouts within the past 12 months alone.
Shareholders have also benefited from significant capital appreciation, with AutoCount’s share price climbing 248.5%, from RM0.33 on IPO day to RM1.15 as of 25 August 2025.
Scalable Business Model, Transition to Main Market
Managing Director YT Choo attributed the results to strong demand for e-invoicing solutions and a cost structure that scales efficiently.
“A large portion of our expenses, such as staff-related costs, remain relatively fixed. This allows revenue growth to translate into higher profitability and margins,” Choo said.
He added that AutoCount is progressing with its transfer from the ACE Market to the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, a milestone that reflects its strong fundamentals and growth trajectory.
E-Invoicing Rollout Driving Growth Opportunities
AutoCount’s momentum is closely tied to Malaysia’s phased rollout of mandatory e-invoicing, which is expected to cover the vast majority of SMEs by mid-2026:
- Phase 1: Companies with revenue above RM100m (Aug 2024)
- Phase 2: RM25m–100m (Jan 2025)
- Phase 3: RM5m–25m (Jul 2025)
- Phase 4: RM1m–5m (Jan 2026)
- Phase 5: RM0.5m–1m (Jul 2026)
With Phases 3–5 bringing 240,000 companies into compliance, AutoCount expects continued adoption of its digital solutions.
Expansion Beyond E-Invoicing
The Group is also diversifying its offerings with new solutions, including the recently launched OneSales PalmPOS for micro-SMEs, and through strategic collaborations such as its partnership with IAB LCCI to roll out Asia’s first cloud accounting certification program.
“Our strategy is clear: continue innovating, support our customers in digital transformation, and seize growth opportunities in Malaysia and the wider region. With a scalable model, strong cash flow, and solid balance sheet, we are confident in delivering sustainable long-term value,” Choo concluded.
