ISDN Holdings has reported 2HFY2025 earnings of $5.5 million, an increase of 15.4% over the year-earlier period. Even so, its full-year 2025 earnings of $6.8 million was 20.7% lower y-o-y as it had booked non-recurring, non-cash, revaluation of long-dated receivables related to its renewable energy business.

 

If losses related to this business were excluded, ISDN would have reported a 25.9% growth in its core shareholder profit for the year.

 

Revenue for the whole of FY2025 was $$440.2 million, an increase of 18.2%.

 

Despite the lower bottom line, ISDN plans to pay a final dividend of 0.53 cents, a slight increase from 0.47 cents in the year earlier.

 

Also, the company is seemingly doubling down on its renewable energy business, with its two additional mini hydropower plants in Indonesia scheduled for completion in 2026, increasing total power output by 81%. ISDN aims to generate more recurring earnings as a result.

 

The company, of course, wants to further grow its core industrial automation business. Besides its main market China, ISDN is eyeing emerging opportunities from new markets, such as Malaysia and Taiwan.

 

Teo Cher Koon, ISDN' s managing director says FY2025 reflects the underlying structural demand for industrial automation across the company' s core markets.

 

" As manufacturers in China and Southeast Asia continue to upgrade capabilities, automation, robotics and AI-enabled solutions are becoming increasingly essential to productivity and competitiveness. Particularly in China, industrial automation remains strategically important under the country&rsquo s long-term industrial development agenda."

 

" While near-term conditions remain measured, the structural direction is clear. ISDN&rsquo s established presence, technical depth and long-standing customer relationships position us well to support this ongoing transition,&rdquo says Teo.
