KUALA LUMPUR: Southern Score Builders Bhd, a construction management specialist for high-rise residential buildings and civil infrastructure, posted a revenue of RM180.3 million for the first half (1H) ended Dec 31, 2025 (FY26), surging 124.8% year-on-year (YoY) compared to RM80.2 million last year.
The solid growth was primarily driven by stronger contributions from the group’s construction services segment, alongside additional contributions from its mechanical and electrical (M&E) services arm, SJEE Engineering Sdn Bhd.
Parallel with the record top-line performance, 1H FY26 net profit rose 36.6% YoY to RM25.4 million versus RM18.6 million in 1H FY25.
The smaller-than-proportionate growth was chiefly due to several ongoing projects operating under compressed margins.
Nevertheless, it is worth highlighting that this is the first time the group’s 1H net profit has surpassed the RM20 million mark.
Executive Director and CEO Gan Yee Hin said having started the financial year on a firm footing, the group is very happy to have kept the ball rolling by delivering yet another solid set of results with an all-time high 1H performance.
“Additionally, this is also the third consecutive record-breaking quarterly top-line performance the group has delivered. This is supported by steady project execution and stronger contributions from our construction and M&E divisions.
“Our recent investment in Nova Pharma Solutions Bhd represents a deliberate step to broaden our technical depth and strengthen our participation in higher-specification and compliance-driven projects. NPS’ specialised expertise in
pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities, particularly at the front end of design and engineering, complement our established strengths in construction management, turnkey delivery and M&E works.
“This integration enhances our ability to provide more comprehensive solutions, manage regulatory complexities and improve our competitive positioning when bidding for specialised projects.
“At the same time, SJEE Engineering continues to perform well and is benefiting from sustained activity in the data centre and healthcare segments. Malaysia’s position as a regional digital hub, supported by growing demand for cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence applications and digital services, is driving a healthy pipeline of M&E opportunities.
“With its proven execution track record and technical capabilities, SJEE Engineering remains well placed to capture these opportunities.
“From an industry perspective, Malaysia’s construction sector expanded by 12.5% in
2025 to reach RM178.6 billion in the value of work done, according to the Department
of Statistics Malaysia. Growth was supported by special trade activities and the nonresidential building sub-sectors, reflecting continued resilience across key segments of the industry.
“As we move into the 2H of FY26, we continue to be upbeat on the group’s
prospects. Ongoing project execution and contributions from both business segments
are expected to gain further traction. The growth momentum is also supported by
synergies arising from SJEE Engineering and Nova Pharma Solutions,” Gan said.
For Q2 FY26, Southern Score recorded revenue of RM96.3 million, marking
a 136.6% YoY increase from RM40.7 million in Q2 FY25.
It is noteworthy to mention that this is the group’s highest-ever quarterly
revenue in its history.
Meanwhile, net profit for Q2 stood at RM10.4 million, marginally lower than the RM10.9 million recorded previously due to the aforementioned factor.
As of Dec 31, 2025, Southern Score and SJEE Engineering’s outstanding order books stood at RM1.2 billion and RM243.9 million, respectively, providing clear earnings visibility for the coming years.
