Glomac profit before tax rises to RM33.4m in FY25
KUALA LUMPUR: Glomac Bhd, a property developer with ongoing projects across Greater Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Johor, reported revenue of RM74.9 million and profit before tax (PBT) of RM12.1 million in the fourth quarter of its financial year ended April 30, 2025 (Q4'25).
For the full financial year ended April 30, 2025 (FY25), Glomac recorded revenue of RM238.3 million, supported by steady construction progress at its ongoing developments, including Saujana Perdana, Lakeside Residences and contributions from two high-rise residential projects, namely 121 Residences and Plaza@Kelana Jaya.
PBT was higher at RM33.4 million from RM32.9 million in FY24, driven by stronger margins from higher-value developments, gains from disposal of investment properties, and lower finance cost.
During the year, Glomac successfully completed and handed over several projects, including 121 Residences, with an estimated GDV of RM334 million.
Glomac kept a healthy financial position, with near zero net gearing and shareholders' equity of RM1,200.9 million. As of end-April 2025, group held cash and deposits totalling RM235.7 million, providing ample liquidity to fund ongoing development and landbanking activities.
Glomac's net asset value per share stood at RM1.56, translating to a price-to-book ratio of approximately 0.20 times.
During the fourth quarter, Glomac rolled out new residential phases across its thriving township developments. Key launches included semi-detached houses at KEYS, Lakeside Residences, double-storey terrace houses at Allamanda, Saujana KLIA as well as Alamanda, Saujana Jaya, Kulai Johor.
Notably, all 112 units of double-storey terrace houses at Serai@SBCR, Bandar Saujana Utama, launched in Q1'5, were fully sold in Q4'25. Glomac achieved new sales of RM332 million for the full year.
Looking ahead to FY26, Glomac is planning new launches with a total estimated GDV of RM324 million, comprising entirely of landed residential properties. Key upcoming launches include two new phases of double-storey terrace houses at Serai@SBCR and a new phase of semi-detached homes at KEYS, Lakeside Residences.
Glomac has also strengthened its capital structure via its Sukuk Wakalah Programme, providing a funding capacity of up to RM3 billion.

KUALA LUMPUR: Glomac Bhd recorded an 84 per cent drop in net profit to RM2.41 million for the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2025 (4QFY25) from RM15.2 million a year earlier, due to higher tax expenses.

Risks flagged in Al-Aqar Healthcare Reit's overseas push
KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Securities Sdn Bhd remains cautious about Al-Aqar Healthcare Real Estate Investment Trust's (Al-Aqar Reit) plans to expand beyond Malaysia, citing its lack of a proven track record and familiarity with the overseas markets. The concern is supported by the Reit's pending divestment of its only international asset, the Jeta Gardens Aged Care Facility in Australia. Acquired in 2010 for RM132 million, the asset is now being disposed of for RM74.9 million, reflecting a significant 43 per cent discount to the original purchase price. With gearing currently at 41 per cent and expected to rise to 48 per cent following two major acquisitions, CIMB Securities also noted that Al-'Aqar is exploring asset disposals of up to RM65 million to maintain headroom below the 50 per cent regulatory gearing limit. The Reit is in the midst of acquiring two properties — the new buildings of KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital at RM131 million and KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital at RM110 million — with a combined value of RM241 million. "Post acquisition, gearing could increase to around 48 per cent, approaching the regulatory limit of 50 per cent. We note that Al -Aqar is exploring potential asset disposals as part of its capital management efforts. "Based on our estimates, disposals could amount to about RM65 million, which would provide debt headroom of about RM72 million before breaching the regulatory threshold," the firm said. CIMB Securities is also neutral on Al-Aqar Reit's refreshed VENTURE27 strategy that targets a portfolio growth to RM2.3 billion by 2027 through the acquisition of third-party assets and a reduced dependency on hospital assets. "The strategy aims to reduce reliance on a single tenant, KPJ Healthcare Bhd, by expanding into developed regional markets and diversifying across the healthcare supply chain beyond hospital assets," the firm said. Six of its leases are up for renewal in the second half of this year, with five proposals have been submitted for unitholder approval at an upcoming extraordinary general meeting, while discussions for the remaining lease involving KPJ Tawakkal KL Specialist Hospital are ongoing. CIMB Securities kept its "Hold" call on the Reit with a target price of RM1.33 per share, supported by distribution yields of 5.8–6.1 per cent for financial year 2025 (FY25) to FY27.
