CLink Squared Limited (1463.HK) Q1 2025 Earnings Report

CLink Squared Limited posted a revenue gain in QQ1 2025, with MYR 27.76 million in revenue, up 11.86% year over year and 17.20% quarter over quarter. Despite the top-line improvement, profitability collapsed, as EBITDA and net income printed deeply negative at MYR -81.83 million and MYR -82.65 million, respectively, driving negative margins (EBITDA margin -2.95%, net margin -2.98%). The quarter’s operating expense base is disproportionately large relative to revenue, with total operating expenses of MYR 87.17 million and cost of revenue at MYR 22.79 million, indicating material fixed-cost absorption challenges and potentially one-time or restructuring-related costs weighing on current quarter profitability. Management commentary (where available) was not included in the dataset, limiting explicit forward guidance; consequently, the outlook hinges on cost containment, revenue mix optimization, and potential scale in core outsourced document management and software-enabled solutions. On the balance sheet, liquidity appears robust: cash and cash equivalents of MYR 54.55 million and gross cash position of MYR 55.51 million, yielding a net cash position of roughly MYR -50.90 million when netting debt, underscoring strong liquidity despite earnings volatility. The company also carries a substantial accumulated OCI balance (MYR 118.57 million), which may reflect historical currency/valuation effects and non-operational items. Investors should monitor cost containment, utilization of liquidity, and any management-driven strategy to restore profitability.
