Yoma Strategic's H2 profit falls 12.4% to US$18.3 million
[SINGAPORE] Yoma Strategic Holdings posted a 12.4 per cent decline in net profit for the second half-year ended Mar 31 to US$18.3 million, from US$20.9 million in the same period last year. This was mainly due to lower net fair value gains recorded on its investment properties in Myanmar, the conglomerate said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday (May 21). Mainboard-listed Yoma focuses on the real estate, financial services, consumer and automotive sectors. Earnings per share fell 22.8 per cent to US$0.0071, from US$0.0092 in the year-ago period. H2 revenue grew marginally by 0.7 per cent to US$110 million, from US$109.2 million a year earlier. Yoma said its revenue continues to be impacted by the depreciation of the kyat against the US dollar. The currency weakened by more than 36 per cent for the first six months of FY2025, compared to the same period last year.

Revenue from its land development segment increased by 32.9 per cent to US$61.4 million, mainly due to contribution from sales at the Estella project, which was launched in October 2023. Revenue from its food and beverage segment rose 16.6 per cent to US$17.7 million, on the back of strong consumer demand, several successful marketing campaigns, a larger operating platform, and additional fees from the YKKO franchise expansion. The group recorded declines in revenue across all its other segments in H2. The latest results bring Yoma's full-year net profit down 49.4 per cent to US$9.3 million, while full-year revenue slipped 7.1 per cent to US$205.2 million. Yoma said the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck central Myanmar on Mar 28 had minimal impact on its operations . It reported that 13 of its restaurants were affected by 'temporary disruptions' in the wake of the quake, but nine of these have since reopened. Yoma added that it does not expect the natural disaster to have any material impact on its FY2026 performance, and estimates direct loss of revenue from business interruptions being less than 1 per cent of its revenue for the financial year ended March 2025. Direct total costs related to net damage repairs and disaster relief support are also expected to amount to 'less than US$1 million'. At 3 pm, shares of Yoma Strategic were up 1.3 per cent or S$0.001 to S$0.079, after the announcement .

Yoma Strategic Holdings (SGX:Z59) investors are sitting on a loss of 76% if they invested five years ago
While it may not be enough for some shareholders, we think it is good to see the Yoma Strategic Holdings Ltd. (SGX:Z59) share price up 13% in a single quarter. But will that repair the damage for the weary investors who have owned this stock as it declined over half a decade? Probably not. Like a ship taking on water, the share price has sunk 76% in that time. It's true that the recent bounce could signal the company is turning over a new leaf, but we are not so sure. The million dollar question is whether the company can justify a long term recovery. So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. See our latest analysis for Yoma Strategic Holdings There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. Yoma Strategic Holdings became profitable within the last five years. Most would consider that to be a good thing, so it's counter-intuitive to see the share price declining. Other metrics might give us a better handle on how its value is changing over time. Revenue is actually up 22% over the time period. So it seems one might have to take closer look at the fundamentals to understand why the share price languishes. After all, there may be an opportunity. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). Take a more thorough look at Yoma Strategic Holdings' financial health with this free report on its balance sheet. It's nice to see that Yoma Strategic Holdings shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 53% over the last year. That certainly beats the loss of about 12% per year over the last half decade. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For example, we've discovered 2 warning signs for Yoma Strategic Holdings that you should be aware of before investing here.
