At the same time, we will pursue greater Stays growth by leveraging our flight-anchored flywheel, deepening hotel partnerships and launching more personalised bundles to increase attach rates and customer lifetime value.” Teleport Teleport closed 2025 strong with record operational performance in 4Q2025. The company moved its highest volume of 102,688 tonnes (+19% YoY) and 63 million parcels (+165% YoY) with a new daily peak record of 974,000 parcels. This drove revenue growth to RM367 mil in Q4 2025 +10% YoY despite a 4% decline in Asia-Pacific market yield. Profitability momentum continued in 4Q2025, with Teleport recording a NOP of RM5.2 million (+RM7.5 mil YoY). For FY2025, Teleport achieved its highest-ever total volume of 347,885 tonnes (+18% YoY) and 167 million total parcels moved (+99% YoY), driving total revenue to RM1.2 billion (+11% YoY). This growth validates Teleport’s unique asset-light model of combining passenger and freighter capacity of third-party airlines, AirAsia belly space and Teleport freighters to meet growing market demands for eCommerce. Furthermore, this strong finish contributed to a full-year NOP of RM18.6 million, a RM40 million turnaround from a RM21 million net loss in FY2024. Teleport’s return to profitability at all levels was driven by strict cost and margin discipline, as well as a reduction in finance costs following the successful refinancing of the Deutsche Bank loan in 3Q2025. CEO of Teleport Pete Chareonwongsak on the business outlook: “Returning to profitability in 2025 is a testament to our team’s discipline, the trust our partners place
