Strong Digitalisation E Invoicing Demand Spurs Autocount S 9m Fy2025 Net Earnings To Nearly Double

---

 
AUTOCOUNT Dotcom Bhd, a developer/distributor of accounting and business software, has posted a 90.9% year-on-year (yoy) surge in its net profit for 9M FY2025 ended Sept 30, 2025 to RM27.41 mil (9M FY2024: RM14.36 mil).
Its revenue during the period under review edged up 34.8% yoy to RM61.38 mil (9M FY2024: RM45.53 mil) on the back of higher uptake of AutoCount’s financial management software and e-invoicing modules.
The group also generated RM37.70 mil in operating cash flow in the nine-month period, thus reinforcing its financial resilience and capacity to support future expansion, research and development (R&D) and shareholder distributions.

For the 3Q FY2025 ended Sept 30, 2025, AutoCount posted softer revenue of RM15.66 mil (3Q FY2024: RM15.65 mil) as well as dwindling net profit of RM5.14 mil (3Q FY2024: RM5.76 mil) in view of two temporary timing factors:
The absence of MSME (micro, small and medium enterprise) Digitalisation Grant recognition in 3Q FY2025 (which contributed significantly to 3Q FY2024’s higher base); andThe deferment of e-invoicing implementation for businesses below RM5 mil revenue as announced on June 5.Despite these external factors, AutoCount’s pre-tax profit had risen to 47.8% (3Q FY2024: 41.5%) due to the group’s scalable cost structure where major cost components, particularly staff-related expenses – remain largely fixed.
“Our nine-month results reflect the strong fundamentals of the group,” commented AutoCount’s managing director Y.T. Choo.
AutoCount Dotcom Bhd’s managing director Y.T. Choo“Despite the timing effects from the e-invoicing deferral, our margins remained healthy. The ability to deliver RM27.41 mil in profit with strong cash flow demonstrates the scalability of our business model.”
Added Choo: “We continue to see solid underlying demand from SMEs seeking digitalisation tools. With the upcoming phases of e-invoicing and the growing adoption of our cloud and POS (point of sale) solutions, we are confident about sustaining our growth momentum.”
As it is, Malaysia’s five-phase e-invoicing roll-out continues to provide multi-year growth visibility for AutoCount:
Phase 1: >RM100 mil – Aug 1, 2024Phase 2: RM25 mil-RM100 mil – Jan 1, 2025Phase 3: RM5 mil-RM25 mil – July 1, 2025Phase 4: RM1 mil-RM5 mil – Jan 1, 2026Phase 5: > RM500,000-RM1 mil – July 1, 2026
With Phases 3 to 5 covering the vast majority of SMEs, AutoCount expects a meaningful pick-up in e-invoicing adoption from 2025 through mid-2026 as compliance becomes mandatory across all revenue tiers.
For its latest quarter, the AutoCount board also declared an interim dividend of 1 sen/share, amounting to RM5.50 mil in line with the group’s commitment to delivering sustainable shareholder returns.
AutoCount is currently undergoing the regulatory process to transfer its listing from the ACE Market to the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia.
At the close of today’s (Nov 24) market trading, AutoCount was down 1 sen or 0.97% to RM1.02 with 300,000 shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM562 mil. – Focus Malaysia
