KUALA LUMPUR: HSS Engineers Bhd’s net profit jumped to RM6.6 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, from RM2.8 million a year earlier.
Its revenue rose 31.6 per cent to RM57.7 million from RM43.8 million, driven mainly by an 82 per cent increase in engineering design revenue to RM17.9 million.
The growth was supported by newly-secured projects, including the Tuna Tekra container terminal development in India and the Sungai Kelang flood mitigation project.
Meanwhile, HSS Engineers’ construction supervision revenue slipped 4.5 per cent to RM12.4 million from the same quarter last year.
Its project management revenue grew 26.5 per cent in the quarter and 16 per cent for the first half of 2025, supported by consultancy and supervision work for the Baghdad metro project and the KTP Data Centre in Johor Bahru.
No dividend paid for the current quarter.
HSS Engineers expects the construction sector to gain renewed momentum in the second half of 2025, underpinned by a strong pipeline of infrastructure and industrial projects as well as steady demand for data centres.
It said the upcoming 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which allocates around RM80 billion in annual development spending, underscores the government’s commitment to infrastructure development, socio-economic progress and domestic growth.
“A key catalyst is the approval of the Mass Rapid Transit 3 (MRT3) project in July 2025 by the Transport Ministry,” it added.
HSS Engineers said feasibility studies are underway in Sarawak for two major projects, a new international airport and a deep-sea port in Kuching which could attract up to RM100 billion in investments over the next five to 10 years.
