SINGAPORE, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), a global leader in on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facilities management (IFM), today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months and the full year ended December 31, 2025. The Company delivered strong revenue and gross profit growth, reflecting the returns on a year of deliberate investment in geographic expansion, strategic acquisitions, and operational infrastructure, while taking decisive steps to optimize its cost structure heading into 2026. These results are subject to final review and will be confirmed when YY Group reports its Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Audited Financial Statements for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Second Half and Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights:

Total revenues increased 44.2% to US$31.5 million for the second half of 2025 and 39.3% to US$57.2 million for full year 2025, compared with US$21.8 million and US$41.1 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2024. This rapid growth was driven by strong increases in revenue from both the Manpower and IFM segments, which respectively rose 29.4% and 40.7% year over year for the full year.

Gross profit increased 26.0% year over year to US$3.6 million for the second half of 2025 and 50.2% year over year to US$7.9 million for full year 2025, supported by greater business scale and disciplined execution. Overall gross profit margin reached 13.8% for full year 2025, improving from 12.8% in 2024, driven primarily by scale efficiencies and the integration of higher-margin acquired service lines in the IFM segment.

The Company recorded operating losses of US$12.9 million for the second half of 2025 and US$20.6 million for full year 2025, compared with operating losses of US$5.0 million and US$4.1 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to full-year share-based compensation expenses of US$6.6 million and impairment charges on goodwill and intangible assets of US$9.6 million, the latter relating principally to the Company’s strategic decision to exit underperforming global subsidiaries as part of its ongoing cost optimization and portfolio rationalization efforts.

“Fiscal year 2025 was a year of purposeful investment in which we prioritized building the geographic reach, operational scale, and client relationships needed to support our next phase of growth,” said Mike Fu, CEO of YY Group. “Full year revenue of US$57.2 million, representing year-over-year growth of 39.3%, reflects strong execution across both our manpower and IFM verticals, with meaningful contributions from acquisitions completed during the year and a growing client portfolio across Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Malaysia. Our manpower segment’s repeatable market entry playbook is now generating compounding returns as each geography scales, while strategic acquisitions and organic client wins drove a surge in IFM revenue and more than doubled our IFM customer base. We have also invested meaningfully in AI capabilities and look forward to sharing more on this strategic initiative in the coming weeks. We are moving into 2026 with strong pipeline visibility, the operational foundation to deliver on our FY2026 revenue guidance of US$103 million to US$110 million, and a clear path to non-IFRS profitability, marking a pivotal transition from investment to earnings generation.”

Second Half and Full Year 2025 Operational Highlights:

Jason Phua, Chief Financial Officer of YY Group, added, “Strong full-year revenue and gross profit growth alongside a gross margin expansion to 13.8% from 12.8% in the prior year demonstrate the increasing quality and scale of our business. The IFRS net loss of US$21.6 million was driven primarily by US$6.6 million in non-cash share-based compensation and US$9.6 million in goodwill and intangible asset impairments and does not reflect the underlying trajectory of our operations. On a non-IFRS basis, which we believe more accurately represents our operational performance, our net loss of US$7.8 million reflects the front-loaded cost of entering multiple new markets simultaneously while building the infrastructure to support an expected 80-90% revenue increase in 2026. We have already taken concrete steps to improve our cost profile and strengthen our capital position: reducing debt costs, streamlining our headquarters operations, and winding down non-core global subsidiaries, leaving the Company well-capitalized to fund its current growth plans. With our revenue base scaling toward the US$103 million to US$110 million guidance range and a substantially leaner cost structure, we expect to deliver non-IFRS profitability in fiscal year 2026.”

FY2026 Guidance                    

On March 12, 2026, the Company issued its first formal revenue guidance. The Company currently expects FY2026 revenue of US$103 million to US$110 million, supported by strong demand visibility across its key markets, the full-year contribution of businesses acquired in 2025, sustained client retention across both the manpower and IFM segments, and continued prioritization of capital deployment toward the Company’s core operations. The Company further expects to achieve non-IFRS net profitability for fiscal year 2026, driven by the combination of accelerating revenue growth and cost optimization measures implemented in late 2025 and early 2026, including debt restructuring, headquarters optimization, and a strategic rationalization of its global subsidiary portfolio. The above forecast is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current preliminary views and expectations on market and operational conditions and the regulatory and operating environment, as well as customers’ and institutional partners’ demands, all of which are subject to change. US Dollar ranges are based on a USD/SGD exchange rate of 1.28 as of March 10, 2026. Additional details on the Company’s FY2026 revenue guidance and underlying assumptions can be found in its press release dated March 12, 2026.

The Company believes that non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information about its results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making. 

Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to IFRS financial measures or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance.
