-

PETALING JAYA: Samaiden Group Berhad (Samaiden), the group showcased a remarkable performanc­e with a revenue of RM48.8 million for the second quarter ended December 31, 2023 (2QFY24).

This marks a 21.4 per cent increase from RM40.2 million in the correspond­ing quarter of the previous year.

This growth is primarily a‰ributed to accelerate­d work progress of ongoing projects.

Profit before taxation (PBT) for 2QFY24 reached RM4.2 million, up from RM3.5 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting a 20 per cent increase.

The rise in PBT is in line with the higher revenue and was partially offset by increased profession­al and stamp duty fees incurred for additional bank facilities.

Year-to-date, Samaiden recorded a revenue of RM95 million, compared to RM81 million in the previous year, and a PBT of RM8.2 million, up from RM6.8 million, showcasing the Group’s sustained growth trajectory and effective management strategies.

The quarter-on-quarter comparison further highlights Samaiden’s consistent performanc­e with revenue and PBT increasing from RM46.2 million and RM3.9 million, respective­ly, in the immediate preceding quarter.

Group managing director of Samaiden, Chow Pui Hee stated, “The encouragin­g revenue growth to RM48.8 million in 2QFY24 is a testament to our strategic alignment with Malaysia’s burgeoning RE sector.

“The government’s steadfast initiative­s, including the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP), the launch of the fih large-scale solar (LSS) programme, and the continuati­on of the Green Electricit­y Tariff (GET) programme, provide a fertile ground for our future projects and aspiration­s.

“With the nation’s ambitious shi towards a 70 per cent RE mix by 2050, Samaiden is perfectly positioned to play a pivotal role in this green transforma­tion. Our recent achievemen­ts, bolstered by these supportive policies, underscore our commitment to powering Malaysia’s sustainabl­e energy future.”

Looking to the future, Samaiden’s strategic positionin­g is further reinforced by Malaysia’s comprehens­ive RE initiative­s and a strong emphasis on Environmen­tal, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.

The government’s active promotion of ESG, exemplifie­d by the introducti­on of the ESG Reporting Platform by Bursa Malaysia, presents a conducive environmen­t for Samaiden’s growth and the Group’s pivotal role in advancing Malaysia’s RE landscape.

As at December 31, 2023, the total orderbook of Samaiden stood at RM358.2 million, which is expected to contribute positively to the Group for the next three years.
