George Kent (Malaysia) Bhd returned to the black in the first quarter ended June 30, 2026 (1Q27), posting a profit after tax of RM0.05 million compared to a RM8.29 million loss a year earlier.
Revenue rose 4.3% year-on-year to RM39.28 million from RM37.65 million, supported by the resilience of its Intelligent Technology Solutions (ITS) division and higher contributions from ongoing infrastructure construction projects.
The ITS division recorded revenue of RM32.52 million, marginally higher than RM32 million a year ago, and accounted for 82.8% of group revenue.
The division remains a key component of George Kent’s longer-term growth strategy.
The Infrastructure Construction division posted a stronger performance, with revenue climbing 19.8% to RM6.76 million from RM5.65 million, driven by steady progress across ongoing projects.
George Kent said it continues to pursue infrastructure developments and tender opportunities across Malaysia, particularly in the water sector, where the outlook remains supported by government efforts to strengthen water security, treatment capacity and distribution efficiency.
Executive Chairman Tan Sri Tan Kay Hock said the quarter reflected the resilience of the group’s core businesses and progress in executing its strategic priorities.
Looking ahead, he added that the group will continue to grow its order book across its ITS and Infrastructure Construction divisions while pursuing opportunities that support sustainable growth.
