PETALING JAYA: Sports Toto Bhd
’s net profit plunged by 40% year-on-year (y-o-y) for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2025 (4Q25) due to softer performance from H.R. Owen Plc and STM Lottery Sdn Bhd.
In 4Q25, Sports Toto’s net profit slid to RM40.35mil or earnings per share of 3.03 sen. Revenue fell by 1% y-o-y to RM1.63bil.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Sport Toto stated that H.R. Owen recorded a 4.1% y-o-y drop in revenue for 4Q25, primarily driven by lower sales volume in the new car sector. H.R. Owen also posted a lower pre-tax profit in line with lower revenue attained, along with higher operating expenses incurred in relation to brand positioning efforts.
Meanwhile, STM Lottery also recorded a decline in its pre-tax profit, by 14.8% y-o-y, because of higher operating expenses, including corporate social responsibility sponsorships incurred in 4Q25. This was despite a higher revenue, which rose by 3.7% y-o-y as a result of higher accumulated prizes from the 4D Jackpot game, given that the number of draws remained the same in both 4Q25 and 4Q24.
H.R. Owen is Sport Toto's subsidiary in the United Kingdom, operating luxury vehicle dealerships. STM Lottery is the core number forecast operator business and wholly owned subsidiary of Sports Toto.
For the financial year ended June 30, 2025 (FY25), its earnings increased by 8.73% y-o-y to RM237.01mil while revenue was up 1.65% to RM6.46bil.
Sports Toto declared a fourth interim dividend of 2 sen per share, payable on Oct 17, 2025 with the entitlement date on Oct 2, 2025.
