Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad Posts RM26.56 Million Net Profit in 4QFY25, Declares Five Sen Dividend
BINTULU: Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad announced its financial results for the Fourth Quarter of 2025 (4QFY25), registering a net profit of RM26.56 million, supported by sustained LNG throughput and stronger bulk cargo activities.
The group recorded a modest 0.56% increase in operating revenue to RM221.19 million in 4QFY25, compared with RM219.96 million in the corresponding quarter last year.
The improvement was primarily driven by stronger performance at Samalaju Industrial Port, where revenue rose 7.04% to RM42.86 million from RM40.04 million quarter on quarter.
Revenue from the bulking facility also improved by 11.58% to RM13.52 million, compared with RM12.11 million in the same quarter last year.
However, revenue from Bintulu Port declined marginally by 1.78% to RM164.82 million, reflecting softer contributions during the quarter.
Despite the stable revenue performance, profit after tax for 4QFY25 declined to RM26.56 million from RM40.88 million in the same quarter last year.
This is mainly due to higher operating expenses on salary-related expenses, repair and maintenance costs, and administration costs.
Consequently, the earnings per share for the quarter stood at 5.77 sen, compared with 8.88 sen in the corresponding quarter last year.
For the full year 2025, the group generated RM822.15 million in operating revenue as against RM828.30 million achieved the preceding year.
LNG remained the principal revenue contributor, while Samalaju operations, container, and bulk cargo activities provided diversification support.
The group posted a profit after taxation of RM121.89 million, translating into earnings per share of 26.50 sen, while EBITDA remained strong at RM419.66 million.
Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad declared a single-tier dividend of five sen per share payable on 17 April 2026, making the total dividend declared to date 15 sen per share for the financial year 2025.
While the dividend per share remains consistent year-on-year at 15 sen, the payout of RM69.00 million represents a higher proportion of earnings in FY2025, underscoring the group’s continued commitment to shareholder returns.
Going forward, LNG will continue to anchor the group’s revenue, with positive contributions from the handling of cargoes at Bintulu and Samalaju. - UKASnews
