Yong Tai acquires Sabah-based Sumberjaya Builders for RM15m, targets quick turnaround on development projects
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia main market-listed Yong Tai Bhd has entered into a conditional share sale agreement to acquire the entire equity stake in Sabah-based Sumberjaya Builders Sdn Bhd for RM15 million. This strategic acquisition marks Yong Tai's entry into Sabah's property market with a steady growth outlook, further diversifying the group's earnings stream and enhancing future profitability. Through this acquisition, Yong Tai will undertake two promising joint-venture projects that Sumberjaya has already secured in Sabah. The two projects are the Lahad Datu project, spanning approximately 11.97 acres. This project features a mixed development of shop lots, terrace houses, and walk-up flats. The Lahad Datu project is estimated to carry a gross development value (GDV) of RM70.12 million and is expected to generate a development profit of RM10.80 million. Construction is anticipated to commence in Q3 of 2025 and be completed by Q3 of 2028. Secondly, Yong Tai will also undertake the Tawau Project, which is situated on approximately 15.25 acres. This development includes both commercial and residential units, offering an estimated GDV of RM106.58 million and projected to deliver a development profit of RM29.78 million. The Tawau project is scheduled to commence in Q4 2025, with completion targeted for Q4 2030. Yong Tai CEO and executive director Datuk Wira Boo Kuang Loon stated that this acquisition significantly eases the company's cash flow pressure, particularly in comparison to the substantial upfront investments previously committed to projects such as Encore Melaka and Courtyard by Marriott Melaka. 'Unlike high-rise developments that require extensive capital and extended timelines, these new projects in Sabah allow Yong Tai to realise profits swiftly and sustainably, strengthening our financial position and enhancing returns to our stakeholders,' he said in a statement. Yong Tai's strategic acquisition reflects careful consideration of market potential, profitability, and minimal upfront capital requirements. Importantly, the landowners for both projects will receive their entitlements via completed property units, significantly easing the group's immediate cash flow burdens. This acquisition complements Yong Tai's ongoing development portfolio, which includes the Impression U-Thant in Kuala Lumpur, nearing completion in Q3 2025, and The Dawn @ Impression City Melaka, undertaken through a joint venture arrangement and scheduled for completion by Q4 2027. The expansion into Sabah not only broadens the group's geographic footprint but also ensures a balanced project pipeline for sustainable long-term growth. The RM15 million purchase price will be paid in three equal parts, which will help maintain steady finances and support a good cash flow. Payments will only be made after due diligence checks have been completed and all required conditions have been met.

Gamuda's earnings continue to improve
The group credited the better earnings to stronger domestic construction earnings and overseas property earnings. PETALING JAYA: Gamuda Bhd continues to anticipate that its performance towards the end of the financial year ending July 2025 will be largely driven by overseas and domestic construction activities. These include the construction of several data centres and higher contributions from its property division's various quick turnaround projects (QTPs). Moving forward, Gamuda said its resilience is underpinned by its construction order book of RM35bil and unbilled property sales of RM7.7bil, on top of a healthy balance sheet with a comfortable net gearing of 45%, well below its self-imposed gearing limit of 70%. Releasing results yesterday for its third quarter financial year ended April 30, 2025 (3Q25), the group saw net profit grow by 4.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM246.8mil, as revenue jumped 24.1% to RM3.09bil, attributed to domestic construction projects. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Gamuda said domestic construction earnings tripled to RM104mil from the RM39mil of last year's corresponding quarter. 'Quarterly construction revenue and net profit rose 4% and 40% respectively, driven by stronger domestic earnings as domestic jobs grew to contribute 41% of overall RM35bil-construction order book compared with 28% last year,' it said. Earnings per share is therefore at 4.3 sen for 3Q25. Domestic construction projects also drove cumulative earnings for the nine months of financial year ended April 30 (9M25), as net profit edged up 4.9% y-o-y to RM671.1mil, while turnover surged 29% to RM11.1bil. Year-to-date earnings per share was registered at 11.81 sen. Additionally, Gamuda said property sales for 9M25 rose 10% to RM2.6bil compared with RM2.3bil sold last year, spearheaded by several QTPs in Vietnam. On a quarterly basis, net profit improved by 12.8% from RM218.8mil for the three months ended January, despite a 20.8% contraction in revenue. The group credited the better earnings to stronger domestic construction earnings and overseas property earnings. Gamuda proposed a second interim dividend for the 3Q25 of five sen per share, bringing total dividends declared during the financial year to 10 sen per share. In March, Gamuda's 50%-owned joint venture with a Taiwanese company was awarded a contract by Taiwan Power Company, a state-owned electric power industry enterprise for the construction of a 345kV underground transmission line and auxiliary electrical and mechanical system. The contract value is approximately RM520mil, with an estimated construction duration of about three and a half years. Gamuda DC Infrastructure Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gamuda Engineering Sdn Bhd, was also awarded an enabling works contract worth RM1.01bil for the data centre development in Port Dickson, which encompasses earthwork and external infrastructure works.
