Melvyn Pun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: “These are the strongest results in Yoma Strategic’s history – a milestone that reflects years of disciplined work to strengthen our balance sheet, sharpen our businesses, and build durable cash generation. We delivered this against a tough operating environment, which makes the achievement all the more meaningful. The foundation is solid, the momentum is real, and we are more confident than ever in the opportunities ahead.”
Segment Performance
Real Estate – Yoma Land
Yoma Land posted revenue growth of 17.1% year-on-year, with its development business up 19.9%, as residential demand held firm on the back of urbanisation trends and sustained appetite for real estate as a store of value. An unrecognised revenue backlog of US$90.3 million underpins earnings visibility over the next 18 to 24 months. Yoma Central, the Group’s landmark mixed-use development in downtown Yangon, is targeting a phased restart in FY2027.
Food and Beverage – Yoma F&B
Yoma F&B delivered record revenue, up 16.7% year-on-year, with same-store sales growing 19.7%, reflecting brand loyalty and strong consumer demand for F&B. The platform now operates 81 restaurants across 11 cities, cementing its position as Myanmar’s largest restaurant operator. Six to eight new outlets are planned for FY2027 and continue the platform’s disciplined approach to expansion.
Mobile Financial Services – Wave Money
Wave Money is in the midst of a digital-led transformation with the revenue mix shifting away from remittance fees towards wallet services, merchant transactions and lending. This transition has weighed on near-term revenue, which declined 29.7%, although underlying business momentum is building: digital transactions grew 56% year-on-year and interest income surged 79.0% to US$7.9 million as more users held funds in their Wave wallets. These are early signals of Wave Money’s evolution into a full-service digital financial services provider.
Heavy Equipment and Passenger Vehicles – Yoma Motors
Yoma Motors’s revenue more than doubled year-on-year to US$16.1 million. Passenger Vehicles revenue grew nearly ninefold to US$7.1 million, driven by the introduction of third-party brands through the Group’s showroom and sales network. Strong demand for commercial trucks underpinned the Heavy Equipment business in FY2026.
