KUCHING, Feb 26 2026: Affin Group, in which Sarawak government has interest, reported a profit before taxation (PBT) of RM755.7 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, a steady increase of RM54.7 million or 7.8% compared to RM701.0 million recorded in the previous financial year.

The increase in PBT was primarily attributed to a higher net income by RM271.8 million, partially offset by a higher operating expense by RM33.9 million and an allowance for impairment losses of
RM31.2 million, compared to a write-back of impairment losses of RM151.4 million in the previous
financial year.
Wan Razly Abdullah, president and group chief executive officer, in a statement, said:“Affin reported a record FY2025 PBT of RM755.7 million (+7.8% year-on-year (YoY)), underpinned by our highest-ever net income and a 47.4% surge in operating profit.
“This performance was further bolstered by our continuous asset quality efforts, which have driven the Gross Impaired Loan (GIL) ratio to an all-time low of 1.64%.
“Together with our robust capital and liquidity position, this provides a solid platform to capture opportunities in 2026, strengthen earnings quality and build long-term shareholder value.”
“Our 4Q2025 PBT reached RM215.6 million, an 18.4% increase quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), driven
by Net Interest Margin expansion and a 30.5% increase in fee-based income derived from foreign
exchange, fees and commissions.
“This represents our highest quarterly profit under the Metamorphosis Transformation Plan.
“Our asset base has grown to RM124.1 billion and continues to grow, derived by loans and financing, which grew 10.4% YoY to RM79.5 billion,” he said.
Wan Razly said the board has proposed a final dividend of 8.53 sen per share, totalling RM216 million, reflecting Affin’s robust capital position and record FY2025 performance.
