CEO of AsiaFIN, KC Wong said, “AsiaFIN’s focus in financial year 2024 has been all about positioning the company for very significant future growth and value generation for investors.

 

We achieved a number of significant internal and external goals over 2024 including completing the development of a new product, entry into new markets and associated investments for growth. During 2024, we commenced reviews of our website content and structure for investors (now completed post balance sheet close) as well as website content and ‘look and feel’ reviews for our commercial sub-brands (a rolling program).

 

Our newly created and appointed audit committee strengthens our corporate governance, and we have embarked on a potentially meaningful review of our public corporate governance policies.

 

For cash generation and our going concern status, we are particularly encouraged and pleased by our positive net cash from operations, which is a function of more effective working capital management and an important contributor toward passing our going concern opinion from our auditors, without qualification.

 

While revenue growth at over 8.8% year on year is very respectable in current markets, we are working hard and making investments to push revenue growth consistently into double digit organic growth at least for the next few years.

 

The fourth quarter of 2024 has delivered greater sales pipe progression than the year-end, 8.8% revenue growth numbers might suggest. We have launched a new Regulatory Technology (Regtech) product that have gained traction with new and existing clients in the Malaysian market, and we believe we have made exciting progress on our expansion plans outside of the Asia region.

 

While our smallest unit by revenues, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), has posted a significant increase in cost of revenue, this is because we are investing significantly in RPA, which we see as very important future value driver unit, with exciting revenue and margin potential, and we have positive news to report on this in our investor webinar.

 

Our core revenue generating unit, Regtech, continues to grow well with improving gross margins up approximately 99 basis points.

 

We are excited about the value generating milestones ahead and remain extremely focused on building the future of AsiaFIN via strategic investments this year, that we believe will unlock significant value for our stakeholders.”
