Paramount Delivers Stable FY2025 Performance; Declares 4.5 Sen Second Interim Dividend

Property sales surpassed RM1 billion for the fourth consecutive year, demonstrating resilience of its core property business and the effectiveness of its long-term strategy.

Petaling Jaya, 13 February 2026 – Paramount Corporation Berhad (Paramount) recorded a resilient financial performance for FY2025, with a stable profit before tax (PBT) of RM157.0 million (FY2024: RM156.9 million).

Its profit attributable to ordinary equity holders increased 16% to RM118.8 million (FY2024: RM102.4 million). The Group declared a single tier second interim dividend of 4.5 sen per share, which will be paid on 13 March 2026. This brings total dividends for FY2025 to 7.5 sen per share, equivalent to a dividend yield of 7.4%.

Revenue for FY2025 was RM946.9 million, 9% lower year-on-year (FY2024: RM1,040.2 million), primarily reflecting a moderated launch pipeline amid prevailing market conditions.

Commenting on the results, Paramount Group Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Chew, said the Group’s performance reflected its ability to navigate a softer market environment while continuing to deliver value to shareholders with a solid Earnings Per Share of 19 sen.

“FY2025 was a year of disciplined execution including value-enhancing asset disposal, with a tertiary campus disposal being the major contributor, as well as contributions from our 2025 strategic investment. The RM75 million proceeds from the campus disposal were earmarked mainly to repay borrowings,” he said.

The sale of Anson Campus forms part of the Group’s ongoing strategy to monetise non-core assets, aimed at improving yields, enhancing capital efficiency and maximising shareholder returns.

Commenting on FY2026’s outlook, he said, “We anticipate a satisfactory financial outlook this year supported by a solid property sales pipeline with unbilled sales of RM1.5 billion (as at 31 December 2025) and the implementation of cost optimisation initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and margins.”

Property segment

The Property segment recorded FY2025 revenue of RM897.7 million (FY2024: RM965.3 million), and a PBT of RM126.4 million (FY2024: RM144.0 million). Key revenue contributors for the year were The Atera in Selangor, Utropolis Batu Kawan in Penang and Bukit Banyan in Kedah.

The Group achieved property sales of RM1.03 billion in gross development value in FY2025, marking the fourth consecutive year of property sales exceeding RM1 billion.

“Our ability to consistently deliver more than RM1 billion sales over the past four years underscores the strength of our product positioning and execution. This track record gives us confidence as we roll out our RM1.1 billion launch pipeline in 2026,” Chew said.

In 2026, the Group plans to launch seven projects across Selangor, Kedah and Penang. These include new phases from two existing developments – namely The Atera Phase 3 (a transit-oriented development in Petaling Jaya, Selangor) and Paramount Embun Hills (a mixed-use development located next to Bukit Mertajam forest reserve in Penang) – as well as launches from two new developments.

The future new developments comprise a 48.5-acre residential development located in Section U9, Shah Alam, and a 295.6-acre mixed-use township located near Phase 4A of the Kulim Hi-Tech Park in Kedah.

Coworking segment

Co-labs Coworking has expanded beyond the Klang Valley in 2026 with its first location in the South Tower of Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Bahru. Integrated with Mid Valley Southkey Mall and St. Giles Hotel, this new space is strategically positioned to serve Johor Bahru’s growing commercial sector.

“Co-labs Coworking enhances the Group’s recurring income profile and provides complementary value across our property ecosystem. The upcoming flagship launch at Sunway Square in Selangor will expand Co-labs Coworking’s footprint to 220,000 square feet across 10 locations in the Klang Valley and Johor, strengthening its growth trajectory in the flexible workspace segment,” Chew said.
