APAC 2024 Top Energy Sustainability Solutions Provider Kinergy Advancement Berhad, reported steady growth in third-quarter performance for the quarter ended 30 September 2024 (“3Q FY2024”). Notably, the Group recorded a remarkable 94.9% quarter-on-quarter revenue increase, rising to RM81.5 million, up from RM41.8 million in the previous quarter. This growth was primarily driven by higher contributions from the Sustainable Energy Solutions (“SES”) segment.

Additionally, the Group saw a 17.3% increase in gross profit, which reached RM13.2 million, further reinforcing KAB’s successful execution of capital-intensive projects and the strategic expansion of both its SES and Engineering segments.

The Group reported a core net profit of RM6.1 million for 3Q FY2024, reflecting resilient core operations during a capital-intensive growth phase. Year-to-date, the Group’s core net profit stands at RM16.6 million, representing an increase of 135.0% from the core net profit of RM7.08 million in the same period a year ago. Similarly, gross profit reached RM36.1 million during the first nine months of its financial year ended 30 September 2024 (“9M FY2024”) marking a 32.1% improvement from RM27.3 million in 9M FY2023. This was in line with the revenue growth of 21.2% to RM165.4 million during the first nine months of its financial year 2024.

The Group’s growth remains robust, driven by the SES segment, which delivered RM86.3 million in revenue, over three times the RM25.8 million recorded in the same period last year, fuelled by contributions from new projects and recent acquisitions.

Dato’ Lai Keng Onn, Executive Deputy Chairman cum Group Managing Director of KAB, said: “Our results demonstrate strong underlying growth across the SES segment, which continues to perform as planned. We remain focused on achieving our targeted milestones, supported by steady project execution and enhanced gross profit, underscoring our strategic direction.”

KAB’s extensive order book and project pipeline provide a strong platform for future growth. The Group currently holds an order book valued at RM850 million, with RM120 million in Engineering projects and RM730 million in SES projects. Its active tender pipeline has grown to an impressive RM3.3 billion, indicating significant potential and opportunities in sustainable energy and engineering projects on the horizon. This quarter, the Group has reaffirmed the rising demand for sustainable energy solutions in Malaysia, showcasing its robust performance.

“KAB’s proven track record in executing complex projects within set timelines showcases our expertise in operational excellence, instilling confidence in the company’s extensive capability to consistently deliver value to clients and shareholders,” Dato Lai concluded.

As the Group advances with larger-scale projects in its SES segment, including solar, biogas, and hydropower projects across ASEAN, KAB’s robust expertise in project management approach, innovation, ESG and sustainability strengthens its position as a leading force in Malaysia’s sustainable energy transition. This track record further demonstrates KAB’s dedication to building sustainable infrastructure that aligns with national decarbonisation targets and broader global ESG standards.
