Paramount’s FY2025 profit attributable up 16% to RM118.82 mil

PETALING JAYA: (Feb 16): Paramount Corp Bhd saw its profit attributable to ordinary shareholders rise 16% to RM118.82 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025 (FY2025), compared with RM102.45 million a year earlier, according to its latest filing with Bursa Malaysia.

For the full year, the group’s revenue eased 9% to RM946.87 million from RM1.04 billion previously, reflecting softer contributions from its property and investment segments.

Analysed on a broader basis, profit for the period (after tax) was RM121.13 million for FY2025, up 5% from RM114.94 million in the prior year. The discrepancy between the two profit measures lies in the treatment of non-controlling interests in the group’s consolidated results.

In the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 (4QFY2025), Paramount’s profit attributable to ordinary equity holders increased to RM57.6 million, compared to RM54.12 million in the corresponding quarter of 2024. Quarterly revenue was RM257.96 million, down from RM361.09 million a year earlier.

The property division continued to contribute the bulk of group revenue, with RM897.7 million in FY2025. Major contributors included The Atera development in Selangor, Utropolis Batu Kawan in Penang and Bukit Banyan in Kedah.

Meanwhile, the investment and others segment recorded revenue of RM33.9 million, lower than in the prior year, largely due to the absence of dividend income that had supported earnings previously.

Paramount declared a single-tier second interim dividend of 4.5 sen per share, payable on March 13, 2026, to shareholders whose names appear on the record of depositors on March 4, 2026. Together with earlier payouts, total dividends for FY2025 amounted to 7.5 sen per share.

In its filing, Paramount noted it expects a satisfactory financial outlook for FY2026, supported by an unbilled property sales pipeline of RM1.5 billion as at Dec 31, 2025 and ongoing cost optimisation initiatives.
