KUALA LUMPUR: Efforts to raise academic standards and improve campus operations have paid off for Cyberjaya Education Group Bhd
, which announced a surge in its bottomline in the first six months of its financial year.
The group, which operates private higher education institutions across the country, has invested about RM230mil in capital expenditure over the last five years to acquire the current purpose-built campus in Cyberjaya, as well as to upgrade campuses, expand facilities, and strengthen the academic infrastructure.
“Our priority over the past few years has been to stabilise, strengthen, and then sustainably grow our institutions," said the group in its results announcement.
"The first-half results are encouraging because they show that students and parents are responding to the changes we have made in our programmes, our campuses, and how we support our learners.
"We are mindful that there is still more work to do, and we intend to keep progressing step by step.”
Looking ahead, the group said it remains committed to programme development, campus enhancement and infrastructure modernisation, including capacity expansion, upgrades to specialised healthcare laboratories and improved digital infrastructure to support teaching and operations.
In the first half ended June 30, 2025 (1H2FY26), the group posted a net profit of RM21.61mil, more than three times the bottomline of RM6.23mil recorded in the same period of the previous year.
Six-month revenue jumped to RM99.89mil from RM86.5mil in the comparative period.
In the second quarter - historically the group's strongest quarter - the group's net profit was RM13.15mil, also more than three times the net profit of RM3.78mil posted in the year-ago quarter. Quarterly revenue rose to RM52.71mil from RM44.76mil in the same comparative quarter.
According to the group's statement, the improved performance was driven by intake growth across faculties, better student retention, and the group’s improving academic reputation.
Total student enrolment across the group rose year-on-year, with growth seen across key faculties and programmes, which the group said reflects continued demand for healthcare, medicine and allied sciences programmes.
