Bina Darulaman Berhad (BDB) is positioning 2026 as a pivotal year in its transformation journey, with a renewed focus on core operations and restoring profitability after a loss-making year.
Group Chief Executive Officer Che Abdul Khalid Md Din said the company is intensifying efforts to strengthen its key business segments, namely road construction and quarrying, property development, engineering and construction (E&C), as well as its leisure division.
“2026 is a pivotal year for BDB. The Group is entering the year with a clear mandate to restore performance, strengthen execution discipline, and rebuild stakeholder confidence,” he said in a statement.
He added that the group will refocus on its core strengths, tighten cost management and adopt higher-impact strategies to drive stronger revenue generation.
“Our priority is not only to return to profitability, but also to establish a stronger and more sustainable foundation for long-term growth,” he said.
As part of its strategy, BDB plans to pursue new business opportunities across both public and private sectors, while strengthening strategic partnerships, particularly with companies under Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah.
The group has also expanded beyond its traditional role as a housing developer into industrial and manufacturing segments, enhancing its E&C portfolio.
Che Abdul Khalid said BDB would adopt a more aggressive approach in securing quality projects, with a strong emphasis on cost control and operational discipline.
Within its property division, the group will prioritise ongoing developments such as Darulaman Saujana, Hosba, Aman Nusa, Langkawi and Bandar Darulaman in Jitra. The Darulaman Commercial District is also expected to emerge as a new growth catalyst.
Meanwhile, BDB is looking to optimise its tourism and leisure assets, including Darulaman Sanctuary, The LAB in Langkawi and Fantasia Aquapark, while enhancing attractions and commercial activities at Darulaman Park to boost segment performance.
For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025, BDB posted a net loss of RM16.8 million, mainly due to delays in property project launches and margin pressures from infrastructure projects nearing completion.
However, revenue rose to RM330.71 million from RM294.74 million a year earlier, reflecting continued business activity despite operational challenges.
