-- Duopharma Biotech Berhad (“Duopharma Biotech” or “the Company”) reported a revenue of RM931.69 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, up 14.5% compared to revenue of RM813.70 million in financial year (“FY”) 2024. In line with increased revenue, profit for the year also saw robust growth, with profit before tax (PBT) for FY2025 growing 43.6% year-on-year to RM114.91 million, while profit after tax (PAT) for FY2025 went up by 39.6% year-on-year to RM87.46 million.
The sustained double-digit growth was primarily driven by resilient demand from both the public and private sectors across all business segments, complemented by a one- off surge in insulin supply in the first half of the year following supply normalisation. PBT growth was mainly attributable to the higher revenue base, coupled with continued favourable Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) costs, positive foreign exchange movements and improved operational efficiency, which collectively enhanced profitability.
Meanwhile, revenue in Quarter 4 of FY2025 stood at RM224.69 million, marginally higher compared to RM222.49 million in the preceding quarter, spurred by stronger demand from the private market, including a seasonally-influenced sales spike for an antiviral flu product, offsetting lower fourth quarter sales to the public sector.
Wan Amir-Jeffery Bin Wan Abdul Majid, Group Chief Executive Officer of Duopharma Biotech Berhad, commented, “The robust growth in revenue and profit in FY2025 augurs well for Duopharma Biotech’s future potential. The Government’s healthcare policy initiatives and agenda, including 2.7% more healthcare funding year-on-year via Budget 2026 and a focus on improving pharmaceutical research and manufacturing for a stronger supply chain, laid out in the 13th Malaysia Plan, offer the potential for us to participate in achieving national healthcare goals, strengthening our position as a leading Malaysian pharmaceutical player.”

Looking ahead, the new leadership at Duopharma Biotech will remain proactively focused on enhancing operational efficiencies, optimising cost management strategies, and executing strategic initiatives. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group aims to deliver a satisfactory performance for the financial year ending 31 December 2026.”
