KUALA LUMPUR, 24 November 2025 – Panda Eco System Berhad, a Malaysian-born retail management solutions provider, has posted its strongest-ever quarterly performance for the three months ended 30 September 2025 (3Q FY2025), marking a pivotal milestone in its transformation into a regional digital retail powerhouse.
The Group recorded RM11.87 million in quarterly revenue, up 46% year-on-year, fuelled by broad-based double-digit growth across all business segments. Net profit attributable to shareholders soared approximately 70% YoY to RM2.72 million, reflecting stronger operational efficiency, rising recurring income streams, and contributions from recent acquisitions.
Record-Breaking Growth Amid Rising Demand for Digital Retail Solutions
The robust performance reinforces the company’s strategic evolution from a software provider into a holistic, AI-driven retail solutions ecosystem. Demand has surged in the wake of intensifying cost pressures on retailers, including higher SST, rising minimum wages, and escalating utility expenditures, prompting businesses to accelerate digitalisation efforts to maintain competitiveness.
Panda Eco System’s AI-enabled retail solutions now support loss prevention, demand forecasting, data-driven planograms, and enhanced automation, empowering retailers to optimise inventory cycles, reduce wastage, and improve operational visibility.
Across 9M FY2025, the Group delivered:
- RM30.51 million in cumulative revenue (+33% YoY)
- RM6.38 million in net profit (+11% YoY)
- A healthy cash and deposit position of RM33.66 million as at 30 September 2025
These metrics underscore the Group’s strengthened fundamentals, improved margin resilience, and rising share of recurring income from SaaS-based offerings.
CEO: “Momentum Is Building — And This Is Only the Beginning”
Executive Director and CEO Mr. Loo Chee Wee (罗智伟) expressed confidence in the Group’s strategic direction.
“We are excited to see momentum building up, culminating in a record quarterly revenue in 3Q FY2025. All our segments are performing well, as reflected in the broad-based growth. We have gained better visibility with higher recurring revenue, which serves as a solid foundation for sustainable performance,” he said.
He added that the Group is intensifying synergy extraction from its recent acquisitions via cross-selling and bundled solutions, which are expected to accelerate revenue uplift in the coming quarters.
Preparing for Regional Expansion in 2026
With a solidified domestic foundation, Panda Eco System is preparing for an aggressive regional push beginning 2026. The Group is set to expand across Southeast Asia, targeting markets ripe for digital transformation and modern retail optimisation.
Indonesia, where the Group recently completed several pilot projects, is slated to become Panda Eco System’s next major growth engine. The company sees vast opportunities to deploy end-to-end retail solutions across hypermarkets, convenience stores, speciality retail, and emerging consumer sectors.
Mr. Loo added:
“Rising operating costs for retailers are accelerating the need for digitalisation and data-driven decision making. Our AI-enabled solutions enhance critical areas such as retail loss prevention, demand forecasting, and data-driven planograms. With a solid strategy in place for the Malaysian market, we are now preparing for our next phase of growth in Southeast Asia.”

For investors, Panda Eco System’s strong performance signals several positive trends:
