SBC MEDICAL Q3 2025 NET PROFIT SOARS 353 PCT AMID REVENUE DECLINE

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- SBC Medical Group Holdings Inc (SBC Medical) reported total revenue of US$43 million for the third quarter (Q3) of fiscal 2025, down 18 per cent year-on-year for the period ended Sept 30. (US$1=RM4.12)

SBC Medical Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Yoshiyuki Aikawa attributed the revenue decline to past business restructuring, including revised franchise fees and deconsolidation of certain group entities.

“Meanwhile, rental revenue remained solid, supported by the renewal of medical equipment, and the consolidation of AHH contributed positively to overall performance,” he said in a statement.

Aikawa emphasised SBC Medical’s focus on sustainable growth into 2026, highlighting plans to expand multi-brand dermatology initiatives, strengthen overseas operations, and deliver high-quality solutions to clinics and patients.

Net income attributable to SBC Medical jumped 353 per cent to US$13 million, up from US$3 million in Q3 2024, translating to earnings per share of US$0.12, compared to US$0.03 a year earlier. Income from operations rose 15 per cent to US$16 million, with a margin of 37 per cent.

These improvements were mainly driven by the absence of initial public offering (IPO)-related and stock-based compensation expenses recorded in the prior year.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for the quarter increased 12 per cent to US$17 million, reflecting lower operating expenses offsetting revenue reductions from staffing service terminations and the deconsolidation of Kijimadairakanko Inc and Skynet Academy Co Ltd.

The company reported a total of 258 franchise locations as of Sept 30, up 34 from the previous year. The number of customers served in the last 12 months was 6.5 million, representing a 14 per cent year-over-year increase. The repeat rate for customers visiting franchisee clinics twice or more was 72 per cent.

A comprehensive medical group operating a wide range of franchise businesses across diverse medical fields, SBC Medical manages a diverse portfolio of clinic brands and is actively expanding its global presence, particularly in the United States and Asia.

Quantexa Unveils Agentic AI Platform To Tackle Enterprise Data Trust Problem

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- Quantexa has launched Quantexa AI, a next-generation expansion of its Decision Intelligence Platform designed to help enterprises deploy artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly by grounding it in trusted, contextualised data.

As companies race to adopt large language models (LLMs) and domain-specific AI systems, many face a common barrier — fragmented data. When AI learns from incomplete or unverified information, it risks producing inaccurate or unexplainable outputs.

Quantexa AI addresses this concern by enabling AI models and human users to interact directly with unified, contextual enterprise data in real time, according to a statement.

“The future of successful enterprise AI deployments will be decided by those who can solve the data problem. Enterprises cannot build trustworthy AI on fragmented data.

“Our Decision Intelligence Platform delivers the foundation to make AI not only powerful, but also responsible, grounded in context, governed by design, and explainable at every decision point,” said Quantexa founder and chief executive officer, Vishal Marria.

A key feature of the launch is the Agent Gateway, a secure orchestration layer that allows organisations to deploy and manage agentic AI systems—AI agents that reason, collaborate, and act autonomously—while enforcing governance and auditability.

The gateway integrates with major LLM providers, including OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, and Gemini, and supports open standards such as MCP and agent-to-agent for interoperability.

Quantexa also introduced Q Assist Workspace, an AI copilot environment that allows users to converse with and query enterprise data, receiving recommendations and insights with full explainability. The workspace is designed for use in investigations, risk management, customer intelligence, and compliance workflows.

The enhancements position Quantexa to drive the next phase of enterprise AI adoption, where accuracy, transparency, and data lineage will determine competitive advantage. The company plans to introduce domain-specific agent capabilities in 2026.

The agentic-ready Quantexa Decision Intelligence Platform, featuring Q Assist and Agent Gateway, is now available globally.

​Boyd Announces Sale of its Thermal Business to Eaton for $9.5 Billion

Boyd Engineered Materials to Operate as an Independent Company Following Deal Close

Sale Positions Boyd to Continue to Scale its Engineered Materials Business with Opportunities in Rapidly Growing Markets

Transaction Expected to Close in 2Q of 2026

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov 4 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Boyd Corporation (“Boyd”), the trusted global innovator in engineered materials and thermal solutions, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Thermal business to Eaton, an intelligent power management company, for $9.5 billion. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.

Upon transaction close, Boyd’s Engineered Materials business, which delivers advanced technologies that seal, shield, and insulate high performance applications across the industries it serves, will continue to operate as an independent company under the Boyd Corporation brand and continue to be backed by Goldman Sachs Alternatives.

Boyd is positioned to pursue significant growth opportunities for its Engineered Materials business, where it has built a leadership position through deep material science expertise, proprietary manufacturing technologies, and long-standing customer relationships in mission-critical applications.

“This is a transformative day for the entire Boyd team, and I am confident that combining Eaton’s chip-to-grid power and Boyd’s Chip-to-AmbientTM cooling architectures will help accelerate the deployment of future AI datacenters,” said Doug Britt, Chief Executive Officer of Boyd. “Our Engineered Materials team will continue to accelerate the development of innovative solutions that address our customers’ engineering challenges across multiple rapidly growing end markets. With the continued support of our partners at Goldman Sachs, Boyd Engineered Materials can build on its market leading position and drive additional growth across our business.”

“It has been an honor to help Doug and the team scale Boyd’s Thermal business, and we believe Eaton’s proven track record of driving portfolio-wide value creation will ensure the business is well-positioned for its next chapter of growth,” said Leonard Seevers, Partner in Private Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. “We are also pleased to continue supporting the Boyd Engineered Materials team as they build upon their strong foundation to deliver even more innovative, customer-centric solutions across critical end markets.”

This divestiture will have no impact on Boyd Engineered Materials’ operations moving forward, as Boyd maintained segmented operations, leadership, R&D, sales and customer support teams. Engineered Materials’ customers will continue to receive the same high-quality service they have come to expect from Boyd.
