YTL Corp Sees Slight Dip in FY25 Profit, Maintains Dividend Payout Amid Resilient Q4 Gains

Last updated on August 23, 2025

YTL Corporation Berhad today revealed a modest decline in profit after tax (PAT) for the full financial year 2025, reporting RM3.43 billion—down from RM3.9 billion the previous year. Despite this easing, the group remained steadfast in rewarding shareholders, announcing an interim dividend of 5 sen per share.

The company concluded FY25 with a strong fourth quarter performance. Q4 revenue climbed 5% quarter-on-quarter to RM7.67 billion, while net profit surged 40% to approximately RM1.03 billion, driven largely by robust showings in its utilities and cement divisions.

YTL Power International, a key subsidiary, led the growth charge—its revenue rose 14% to RM5.55 billion, and net profit jumped 44% to RM731.3 million, supported by regulatory pricing gains in its UK water and sewerage operations and improved margins in power generation.

Meanwhile, Malayan Cement posted strong quarterly results, with revenue up 7% year-on-year to RM1.11 billion and net profit increasing 50% to RM165.3 million. This growth stemmed from operational enhancements, ESG-linked initiatives, and minimized impairment losses at its Rawang facility.

Looking ahead, YTL remains cautiously optimistic. The group’s solid Q4 results demonstrate resilience across its core segments, bolstering confidence in its ability to navigate a complex operating landscape while continuing to deliver shareholder value through dividends.
