KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 30): KLCCP Stapled Group (KL:KLCC) has declared a record-high total dividend of 47 sen per stapled security for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2025, as its annual net profit and revenue hit all-time highs.
The group—comprising KLCC Property Holdings Bhd and KLCC Real Estate Investment Trust—declared a dividend of 19.1 sen per stapled security for the quarter, to be paid on Feb 27. This brought total dividends for the full financial year (FY2025) to 47 sen per stapled security, representing a 5.6% increase from a year earlier.
The record payout comes after the group closed its FY2025 with a 55.32% surge in its 4QFY2025 net profit to RM669.3 million from RM430.91 million a year earlier, its bourse filing on Thursday showed. The spike was largely due to a 97.62% jump in fair value gains on investment properties to RM463.87 million.
Quarterly revenue grew 7.38% to RM492.96 million from RM459.1 million, bolstered by stable retail performance at Suria KLCC and the retail podium of Menara 3 PETRONAS, alongside higher management services income from planned maintenance activities and increased car park collections.
For the full FY2025, KLCCP Stapled’s net profit rose 25.95% to RM1.28 billion from RM1.02 billion, while revenue edged up 1.69% to RM1.74 billion from RM1.71 billion.
Chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Salem Kailany attributed the group's performance to targeted asset enhancement initiatives aimed at strengthening competitiveness and long-term efficiency.
“These upgrades, together with system improvements across facilities, strengthened our asset performance, enhanced operational reliability and customer experience. Collectively, these efforts contributed to increase in property valuations and reinforced the long-term value and resilience of our assets,” he said in a statement.
On its operating environment in 2026, KLCCP Stapled said it may become more competitive with new retail malls and hotels entering the Klang Valley market, which could pressure discretionary spending and occupancy rates.
“As we step into 2026, we remain focused on advancing our strategic priorities, strengthening our core businesses, and driving long-term value for our shareholders. With Visit Malaysia Year ahead of us, we look forward to the opportunities with optimism and confidence,” Salim added.
KLCCP Stapled securities closed unchanged at RM9.16 on Thursday, giving it a market capitalisation of RM16.5 billion.
