Pekat Achieves Record Quarterly Earnings As ELP & Trading Shine
Pekat Group Berhad (Pekat), a specialist in Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Earthing and Lightning Protection (ELP) systems, has reported its strongest quarterly profit in over two years for the three months ending 30 June 2024 (2QFY2024). The company's profit after tax (PAT) surged 34.18% to RM4.66 million, compared to RM3.47 million in 2QFY2023, marking its highest quarterly profit since 4QFY2021. This substantial growth is attributed to strong performances in the ELP and trading divisions.
太陽能光伏（PV）和接地與防雷（ELP）系統的專家Pekat集團有限公司（Pekat）報告了截至2024年6月30日的三個月中兩年多來最強勁的季度利潤（2QFY2024）。該公司的稅後利潤（PAT）激增了34.18％，至466萬令吉，而2QFY2023 的稅後利潤爲347萬令吉，創下了自 4QFY2021 以來的最高季度利潤。這種可觀的增長歸因於ELP和交易部門的強勁表現。
Despite a 4.86% decline in revenue, which fell to RM33.15 million from RM42.80 million a year earlier due to delays in solar PV project executions, Pekat achieved impressive results. The ELP division saw a revenue increase of 47.14% to RM11.56 million, while the trading division's revenue grew by 34.75% to RM11.86 million. Quarterly earnings per share (EPS) rose to 0.72 sen from 0.54 sen a year ago.
儘管由於太陽能光伏項目執行的延遲，收入下降了4.86％，從去年同期的4280萬令吉降至3315萬令吉，但Pekat還是取得了令人印象深刻的業績。ELP部門的收入增長了47.14％，達到1156萬令吉，而該貿易部門的收入增長了34.75％，達到1186萬令吉。每股季度收益（EPS）從去年同期的0.54仙上升至0.72先令。
For the six months ended 30 June 2024 (1HFY2024), Pekat's PAT increased by 26.81% year-on-year, reaching RM8.46 million from RM6.67 million in 1H2023. EPS for this period was 1.31 sen, up from 1.03 sen the previous year. The solar PV division contributed 61.13% of group revenue at RM69.81 million, followed by the trading division at 20.85% or RM23.81 million, and the ELP division at 18.02% or RM20.58 million.
在截至2024年6月30日的六個月中（1HFY2024），Pekat的PaT同比增長了26.81％，從1H2023 的667萬令吉達到846萬令吉。該期間的每股收益爲1.31仙，高於去年的1.03仙。太陽能光伏部門貢獻了集團收入的61.13％，達到6981萬令吉，其次是貿易部門，爲20.85％，合2381萬令吉，爲18.02％，合20.58萬令吉。
CEO Tai Yee Chee noted that the robust performance of the ELP division reflects heightened activity levels, particularly in the booming data centre market. He highlighted the recent ELP project win for a data centre facility as a testament to the division's promising outlook. "We are confident in the division's prospects and will continue to focus on growing our order book in this sector," said Tai.
首席執行官Tai Yee Chee指出，ELP部門的強勁表現反映了活動水平的提高，尤其是在蓬勃發展的數據中心市場中。他強調了最近在ELP項目中贏得的數據中心設施的勝利，這證明了該部門的光明前景。泰說：「我們對該部門的前景充滿信心，並將繼續專注於增加該領域的訂單量。」
The solar PV segment remains active, with ongoing projects including a 29.99MWac solar PV power plant under the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) and participation in the recent fifth large-scale solar (LSS5) awards totalling 2,000MW. Tai expressed optimism about the solar market's vibrancy and supportive policies, such as rebates for domestic customers, which are expected to sustain demand.
太陽能光伏領域仍然活躍，正在進行的項目包括根據企業綠色能源計劃（CGPP）建造的29.99兆瓦的太陽能光伏發電廠，以及參與最近的第五次總額爲2,000兆瓦的大型太陽能（LSS5）獎項。泰對太陽能市場的活力和支持性政策（例如對國內客戶的回扣）表示樂觀，這些政策有望維持需求。
Pekat will continue to focus on replenishing its order book and managing operational efficiency to maintain competitiveness in the evolving market landscape, according to Tai.
Tai表示，Pekat將繼續專注於補充訂單和管理運營效率，以保持在不斷變化的市場格局中的競爭力。
