Segmental Analysis and Price-Sensitive Information
Yoma Land (Real Estate)
- Revenue from real estate development declined 17.2% YoY to US\$25.0 million due to completion of key phases of the Estella townhouse and ARA projects last year. However, ongoing projects like Estella Cove, Wisteria, and Evergreen Residences are contributing new revenue, and major developments such as Sandakuu Garden and City Loft West saw higher percentage-of-completion revenue with increased units under construction.
- Unrecognised revenue from sold units stands at US\$88.1 million, expected to be recognised over the next 18–24 months, providing strong earnings visibility.
- Bookings for key projects are robust, such as:
- ARA: 841 of 874 units sold
- Estella Cove: 8 of 8 units sold
- City Loft West: 846 of 936 units sold
- Wisteria: 6 of 7 units sold
- Sandakuu: 181 of 182 units sold
- Evergreen Residences: 45 of 64 units sold
- Real Estate Services revenue increased 8.3% YoY (US\$2.6 million) due to improved occupancy and higher commissions from the secondary market at StarCity and Pun Hlaing Estate.
Shareholder Note: The recognition of US\$88.1 million unrecognised revenue provides significant future earnings visibility, which can positively impact share valuation as construction progresses and units are handed over.
Yoma F&B
- Revenue up 32.2% YoY to US\$11.9 million. Same-store sales and transaction growth of 27.4% and 7.8%, respectively, fueled by strong customer demand, effective value offerings, and ongoing menu innovation.
- The Group benefited from changing consumer behavior amid fuel and electricity constraints, driving higher foot traffic to shopping malls and neighborhood restaurants.
- Opened 4 new KFC and 1 new YKKO restaurant since June 2025; now operates 40 KFC and 43 YKKO restaurants in Myanmar, and 3 YKKO in Thailand.
Shareholder Note: The rapid expansion and robust SSSG in F&B amid macro headwinds are a positive leading indicator for future growth and market share gains.
Wave Money (Mobile Financial Services)
- Revenue declined 20.8% YoY (to US\$4.2 million) due to transition from a remittance-focused model to a broad digital financial platform. However, higher interest income (US\$2.1 million) from trust balances partially offset the decline.
- Digital transaction volumes up 43.6% YoY, overall transaction volumes up 39.0% YoY, and total transfer volume reached MMK15.0 trillion (+40.6% YoY).
- Merchant base rose 14.6% YoY to 214,000 and unique users reached 6.8 million.
- Airtime revenue up 32.6% YoY, boosted by higher consumption and increased telco data package pricing.
Shareholder Note: While the topline is temporarily pressured, the accelerating digital adoption and expanding user base are highly strategic and may unlock significant future value as monetisation improves.
Yoma Motors
- Segment revenue jumped 142.4% YoY to US\$8.0 million, led by a 566.7% surge in passenger vehicle sales (US\$6.0 million; 135 units sold vs. 17 prior year).
- Heavy equipment sales fell 16.7% YoY to US\$2.0 million, reflecting the absence of a prior year bulk order (Hino trucks: 15 units sold vs. 30 prior year; New Holland: 16 tractors sold vs. 10 prior year).
Shareholder Note: The sharp rebound in passenger vehicles, following supply chain improvements, signals strong pent-up demand and could drive future profitability.
Leasing – Yoma Fleet
- Revenue rose 18.2% YoY to US\$1.3 million, with improved fleet utilization (533 vehicles vs. 496 prior year) and higher pricing.
- Third-party assets under management (AUM) reached US\$25.9 million with a total fleet of 822 vehicles.
Investment and Corporate
- Revenue from KOSPA grew 66.7% YoY, with warehouse services broadening and transportation benefiting from higher pricing and a recovery in customer production.
Strategic Outlook and Shareholder Considerations
- Management reaffirmed its focus on disciplined execution across all business segments, with a particular emphasis on restarting the Yoma Central project in phases. Further updates are expected as milestones are achieved, which could be price sensitive and impact future valuations.
- The firm’s large pipeline of unrecognised real estate revenue, rapid expansion in F&B, and strong digital growth in Wave Money position Yoma Strategic for potential re-rating as investor confidence in Myanmar’s economic recovery improves.
Conclusion
Yoma Strategic Holdings Ltd. has demonstrated resilience and adaptability in the face of challenging market dynamics. The group’s diversified revenue streams, strong growth in F&B, Motors, and Leasing, and an accelerating digital financial business are all positive catalysts that could influence share price performance. Investors should monitor the timing and scale of revenue recognition in Real Estate, the ongoing transition at Wave Money, and progress on major projects like Yoma Central for future valuation triggers.
