UEM Sunrise Berhad (“UEM Sunrise” or “the Company”) closed the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (“FY2025”) on solid footing, surpassing its full-year sales and launched Gross Development Value (“GDV”) targets. Revenue rose 27% to RM1.7 billion from RM1.3 billion in the previous year, driven primarily by sustained property development revenue of RM1.2 billion.

Profit After Tax and Non-Controlling Interests (“PATANCI”) for FY2025 stood at RM71.0 million after recognising non-operational and non-cash adjustments amounting to RM50.5 million for the year, comparing to PATANCI of RM104.3 million in FY2024. Excluding these adjustments, FY2025 PATANCI would amount to RM121.5 million.

The Board has proposed total dividends of 1.43 sen per share, representing a distribution of RM72.5 million. The higher dividends comprise 0.84 sen single-tier dividend and 0.59 sen special single-tier dividend, compared to 1.24 sen per share in FY2024, reflecting the Company’s continued commitment in delivering sustainable shareholder returns.

During the year, the property developer achieved RM1.4 billion in sales, exceeding its RM1.05 billion target by 35%, supported by steady market absorption. The Central Klang Valley region contributed 55% of total sales, anchored by The Connaught One, Residensi ZIG and The MINH. The Southern region accounted for 35%, with notable contributions from Iskandar Puteri’s developments such as Aspira Hills and Aspira LakeHomes, as well as the newly launched Estuari Greens and Estuari ParkHomes.

In the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2025 (“4Q2025”), the Company recorded a revenue of RM424.3 million, supported by property sales activities, which contributed 72% to total revenue. PATANCI for the quarter stood at RM9.6 million. Excluding the non-operational and non-cash adjustments, PATANCI for the quarter would amount to RM68.9 million.

The Company’s balance sheet and liquidity strengthened during the year, on the back of higher cash and bank balances (including short-term investments) totalling RM1.5 billion. Net gearing improved to 0.37 times from 0.40 times a year earlier, reflecting continued disciplined capital management.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Shaharul Farez Hassan said, “Our FY2025 performance reflects strengthened fundamentals and disciplined execution across core markets. We delivered our targets while reinforcing our financial position in a competitive environment. As we move into 2026, our priority remains on building operational resilience, enhancing efficiency and further defining UEM Sunrise as a balanced real estate company committed to delivering long-term value creation.”

Operationally, the Company launched eight projects across its Central, Southern and International portfolios during the year, amounting to a total GDV of RM2.2 billion, exceeding its RM2.0 billion target. These launches include Allegro, Symphony Hills in Cyberjaya and Serene Heights Phase 3A4 in Semenyih, in the Central region; Aspira Hills Phases 2A, 3A, 3B and 4A as well as Estuari Greens Phase 1B1 and Estuari ParkHomes Phase 2C1 in Iskandar Puteri, in the Southern region; as well as One Oval in Perth, Australia.

A total of 1,927 units were handed over across six projects, including Allevia at Mont’Kiara, Residensi AVA at Kiara Bay, KAIA Heights, Aspira Gardens and Senadi Hills Phases 2A and 2B, collectively representing RM1.8 billion in GDV.

For FY2026, UEM Sunrise has set a sales target of RM1.3 billion and launched GDV target of RM2.2 billion. The pipeline will focus on attainable and upgrader homes across Serene Heights and Mont’Kiara, among others in the Central region, as well as Gerbang Nusajaya and Estuari in the Southern region. The Company will also continue sales momentum from its One Oval development in Australia.

Regionally, Johor remains a key growth catalyst. The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone continues to attract investments, reinforcing Johor’s position as a manufacturing, logistics and services hub. The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System link, targeted for completion in 2026, is expected to enhance cross-border connectivity and support sustained demand in Iskandar Puteri.

The Company is also progressing infrastructure initiatives with the newly launched Gerbang Nusajaya Interchange in Iskandar Puteri that serves as an infrastructure catalyst. The elevated interchange strengthens connectivity advantage, which enhances accessibility and supports the broader commercial, industrial and logistics ecosystem within the region.

Additionally, the Company recorded an improved FTSE4Good score from 3.6 to 4.1 and placed 36th in the Top 50 list of the National Corporate Governance & Sustainability Awards 2025 by Minority Shareholders Watch Group (“MSWG”), underscoring its continued commitment to responsible governance and sustainability best practices.

Looking ahead, UEM Sunrise will continue prioritising disciplined capital management, selective launches and value-accretive development opportunities. Supported by its strategic landbank and established townships, the Company remains focused on navigating market uncertainties while delivering sustainable long-term value.
