In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana” or “Group”) announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2025 (“Q2 2025”). Tropicana reported a revenue of RM590.5 million, representing a decrease of RM85.4 million or 12.6% compared to RM676 million in the preceding year. The Group also recorded a lower profit before tax (“PBT”) of RM16 million as compared to a PBT of RM98.3 million in the preceding year.

The decline in both revenue and profitability was primarily attributable to the completion of the divestment of several investment properties, resulting in a reduction of recurring income. On a positive note, the Group’s finance costs declined in line with its ongoing strategy to reduce overall debt levels through asset monetisation initiatives.

Tropicana continues its progress in Genting Highlands with the unveiling of Breeze Hill at Tropicana Avalon. Located on 6.7 acres of freehold land in the heart of Gohtong Jaya, Breeze Hill is best suited for investors, business owners, holiday-makers and lifestyle seekers

The management cited, “The Malaysian property market is expected to remain healthy and is expected to see moderate growth in 2025, with price increases projected between 2% and 5% according to PEPS1. In July 2025, Bank Negara Malaysia announced a cut in Overnight Policy Rate (“OPR”) by 25 basis points to 2.75%, making this the first rate cut since May 2023. The reduction in OPR is a pre-emptive measure aimed at preserving Malaysia’s steady growth path amid moderate inflation prospects. This will create a favourable environment for both homebuyers and investors, lowering borrowing costs and making homeownership more accessible.”

“We will continue to strive forward and strengthen our stakeholder engagements, focusing on value creation as well as establishing strategic marketing and sales campaigns across our online and offline platforms. Tropicana’s unbilled sales stood at RM2.1 billion, placing the Company in a comfortable position to deliver sustainable earnings," the management added.
