Kuala Lumpur, 27 February 2026 – Southern Score Builders Berhad (“SSBB”) delivered its strongest-ever first-half performance for the six months ended 31 December 2025 (1HFY26), with revenue surging 124.8% year-on-year to a record RM180.3 million.
Net profit attributable to owners of the Company rose 36.6% to RM25.4 million from RM18.6 million in 1HFY25, marking the first time the Group’s first-half earnings surpassed the RM20 million threshold.
Construction and M&E Drive Growth
The robust topline performance was primarily driven by stronger contributions from the Group’s construction services segment, alongside additional earnings from its mechanical and electrical (M&E) subsidiary, SJEE Engineering Sdn. Bhd..
Despite the record revenue, net profit growth was proportionally lower due to several ongoing projects operating under compressed margins. Nevertheless, management described the results as a significant milestone.
Record Quarterly Revenue
For the second quarter ended 31 December 2025 (2QFY26), SSBB recorded revenue of RM96.3 million, representing a 136.6% year-on-year increase from RM40.7 million, the highest quarterly revenue in the Group’s history.
Quarterly net profit stood at RM10.4 million, slightly lower than RM10.9 million in 2QFY25, mainly due to margin compression on certain projects.
Strategic Expansion into Specialised Projects
Executive Director and CEO Gan Yee Hin said the Group’s investment in Nova Pharma Solutions Berhad (“NPS”) marks a strategic move to deepen technical capabilities in pharmaceutical and biotechnology facility projects.
NPS’ expertise in regulatory-driven design and engineering enhances SSBB’s construction management and turnkey delivery strengths, positioning the Group to compete for higher-specification, compliance-intensive projects.
Meanwhile, SJEE continues to benefit from sustained activity in data centre and healthcare developments, sectors supported by Malaysia’s growing role as a regional digital hub amid rising cloud infrastructure and AI-related demand.
Healthy Order Book Provides Visibility
As at 31 December 2025:
- SSBB Outstanding Order Book: RM1.2 billion
- SJEE Outstanding Order Book: RM243.9 million
The combined order book provides strong earnings visibility for the coming years and underpins a favourable outlook for the Group.
Industry Backdrop Remains Supportive
Malaysia’s construction sector expanded 12.5% in 2025 to RM178.6 billion in value of work done, supported by non-residential and special trade sub-sectors, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia.
Management remains upbeat heading into the second half of FY26, expecting continued project execution momentum and operational synergies from SJEE and NPS to support growth.
