Despite these challenges, our dedicated and resilient workforce have worked hard to overcome the challenges and seized the opportunities to deliver a strong performance. For the financial year ended 31 December 2023, Opus revenue of RM89.4 million, was 10.4% lower than the financial year ended 31 December 2022 revenue of RM99.8 million. This was largely due to unmaterialised projects arising from revisions or delays in unsecured infrastructure projects. Despite the lower revenue, Opus reported a higher profit before tax and Zakat of RM2.3 million, an increase of 27.8% from RM1.8 million mainly due to our focus on various strategic initiatives, including cost optimisations and enhancing operational excellence to improve the bottom line for longterm sustainable and resilient business growth.
