Mr Danny Ng Kian Boon
Managing Director & CEOManaging Director's Statement
Dear Shareholders,
The financial year ended 31 December 2025 marks a significant and progressive milestone in the journey of Fibromat (M) Berhad ("Fibromat" or "the Group"). Over the years, the Group has evolved with clear and deliberate strategic focus, strengthening its project execution depth, specialised engineering capabilities and manufacturing competencies, while remaining firmly anchored to its core expertise in geotechnical and erosion control solutions.
Since our incorporation on 16 August 1999, Fibromat has dedicated more than two decades to advancing erosion control and geotechnical engineering solutions in Malaysia. Throughout this journey, the Group has continued to promote the use of environmentally responsible and sustainable ("green") solutions in relevant slope protection, soil stabilisation and ground improvement applications. This long-standing commitment continues to support the Group's execution of geotechnical and erosion control works across its project portfolio.
During the year under review, Fibromat achieved a key corporate milestone with its successful transfer from the LEAP Market of Bursa Securities, where the Group was first listed in 2019, to the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia in 2025. This transition reflects the Group's continued progression in operational scale, financial discipline and corporate governance, and positions Fibromat on a stronger capital market platform to support its next phase of sustainable growth.
Operational Performance
Throughout the financial year, Management remained focused on execution reliability, operational efficiency and disciplined order book replenishment. Fibromat operates as an execution-driven geotechnical solutions provider, covering product manufacturing, supply, engineering support and installation services.
This integrated operating model enables the Group to maintain closer control over quality assurance, cost management and project delivery timelines, which are critical success factors within the infrastructure and ground engineering sector. Our machinery-intensive platform remains a key operational differentiator, supported by structured preventive maintenance programmes, disciplined spare parts planning and continuous technical capability enhancement to safeguard fleet readiness and minimise operational disruptions.
During the year, the Group further strengthened its manufacturing and supply chain capabilities to reinforce the benefits of vertical integration. These initiatives remain particularly important in the current operating environment, where cost discipline, delivery certainty and product reliability remain key competitive considerations.
Importantly, the Group's more than 20 years of specialised industry experience in erosion control and geotechnical solutions, with a strong emphasis on environmentally sustainable methodologies, continues to support Fibromat's execution confidence across diverse project environments, including highways, infrastructure corridors, land development and environmentally sensitive areas.
The Group's organisational capacity has also expanded in line with its growing operational scale following the ACE Market listing. Total workforce strength increased from 88 personnel as disclosed in the Prospectus to 201 personnel as at 31 December 2025. This expansion primarily reflects the Group's efforts to strengthen project execution depth, technical capabilities and operational support functions to meet the demands of a larger order book and expanding business activities.
Expansion of Vertically Integrated PVD Platform
During the financial year under review, the Group undertook a strategic capacity expansion within its Prefabricated Vertical Drain ("PVD") segment to support the progressive establishment of an in-house installation capability. As part of this initiative, Fibromat invested in five units of hydraulic excavators amounting to RM3.19 million, which are currently undergoing utilisation ramp-up.
Concurrently, to operationalise a fully integrated PVD installation team, the Group further acquired additional hydraulic excavator machinery equipped with stitchers totalling RM8.24 million, together with other specialised PVD-related equipment amounting to RM0.77 million. In aggregate, the Group committed approximately RM12.41 million towards the establishment of its PVD installation wing.
This strategic investment strengthens Fibromat's vertical integration across the PVD value chain, from in-house manufacturing through to on-site installation, thereby enhancing execution control, margin retention and operational responsiveness. The Board views this development as an important step in reinforcing the Group's technical delivery platform and long-term competitiveness in the ground improvement segment.
Financial Performance and Order Book Position
The financial year ended 31 December 2025 marked an important year of delivery for Fibromat following its successful listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia. The Group recorded a solid set of financial results, underpinned by steady project execution, improving operational scale and sustained demand for geotechnical solutions.
For FY2025, the Group achieved revenue of RM113.48 million and profit after tax of RM16.39 million, reflecting the continued strength of the Group's core engineering and project segments. Gross profit margin improved to 30%, supported by favourable project mix and disciplined cost management.
A key indicator of the Group's earnings visibility remains its unbilled order book. As at 31 December 2025, Fibromat's total order book stood at approximately RM358.62 million across 74 projects, providing strong revenue visibility into FY2026 and beyond.
The Geotechnical and Erosion Control segment contributed RM45.36 million across 54 projects. The Group's Road Works segment remained the primary contributor, with the CSR A2 package amounting to RM265.20 million. The Prefabricated Vertical Drain segment recorded RM48.06 million across 19 projects, demonstrating continued traction in ground improvement activities.
"Fibromat's successful transition to the ACE Market in 2025 marks a new phase of accelerated growth, supported by a strengthened order book, expanded operational capacity and enhanced market positioning."
Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")
Sustainability is firmly embedded within Fibromat's long term strategic agenda and is progressively integrated into the way the Group evaluates risk, allocates capital and executes its operations. As a provider of erosion control and geosynthetic engineering solutions that directly support environmental protection and infrastructure resilience, the Group recognises both the responsibility and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to sustainable development outcomes.
During the financial year under review, Fibromat continued to strengthen the institutionalisation of ESG practices across the organisation. Guided by our structured sustainability framework anchored on the Economic, Environmental, Social and Governance pillars, the Group is progressively embedding sustainability considerations into strategic planning, operational discipline and performance monitoring.
Human Capital and Workplace Sustainability
The Group's continued growth is underpinned by the capability, safety and engagement of its workforce. Given the technical and machinery intensive nature of the Group's operations, Fibromat maintains a disciplined focus on occupational health and safety governance.
I am pleased to report that the Group recorded zero work related fatalities and zero lost time incidents in FY2025. This outcome reflects the effectiveness of our structured Occupational Health and Safety framework, ongoing safety training initiatives and site level safety discipline. The Board and Management remain steadfast in reinforcing a strong safety culture as the Group expands its operational footprint.
Governance Excellence and Ethical Conduct
Strong governance discipline remains fundamental to Fibromat's long term credibility as a listed issuer. The Board, supported by the Audit and Risk Management Committee, continues to exercise active oversight over risk management framework, internal controls system and the integrity of sustainability related disclosures.
The Group maintains a zero tolerance stance towards bribery and corruption, supported by its Code of Conduct, Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and Whistleblowing framework. During the financial year, Fibromat recorded no confirmed incidents of corruption or substantiated data privacy breaches, underscoring the robustness of our governance controls and ethical culture.
The Road Ahead
As the Group advances into its next phase of growth following its ACE Market listing, the Board and Management remain firmly focused on disciplined execution, prudent capital management and the continued strengthening of its technical and operational capabilities. While the operating environment is expected to remain competitive and subject to macroeconomic uncertainties, the Group is well positioned to leverage its integrated platform, growing order book and expanding execution capacity to drive sustainable long-term growth.
On behalf of the Board and Management, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our valued shareholders, customers, business partners, bankers, consultants and regulatory authorities for their continued trust and support throughout the year. I would also like to record my deepest gratitude to the management team and all employees across the Group for their dedication, resilience and professionalism in delivering another year of meaningful progress for Fibromat.
We remain committed to executing our strategies with discipline and to delivering resilient and sustainable value to our shareholders and stakeholders in the years ahead.
Thank you.
