AsiaFIN Holdings Corp. Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2025 / AsiaFIN Holdings Corp., (OTCQB:ASFH), a leading fintech financial ecosystem enabler, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2025, the period ended March 31, 2025.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025:

• Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.26 million as of March 31, 2025 as compared to approximately $1.31 million as of December 31, 2024.

• Revenue for the quarter was approximately $621,000, an increase of 19.5% compared to $520,000 in the first quarter last year.

• Gross profit was a negative $6,900, or negative 1.1% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $22,000, or 4.2% gross margin, in the first quarter last year. The negative gross margin reflects costs associated with recent expansion initiatives as the team is expanded to support expected future growth.

• Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $486,000, an increase of 64.2% compared to $296,000 in the first quarter last year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to higher salary expenses, as the Company recruited more employees to support business expansion initiatives, as well as an increase in credit loss allowance, due to challenges in collecting receivables from debtors.

• Net loss was approximately $489,000 an increase of 73.4% compared to a loss of approximately $282,000 for the first quarter of 2024.

• Net loss attributable to common shareholders was approximately $482,000 an increase of 73.5% compared to a loss of approximately $278,000 for the first quarter of 2024.

• Total comprehensive loss was approximately $468,000, or $(0.01) per share, an increase of 43.1% compared to a loss of approximately $327,000, or $(0.00) for the first quarter of 2024.

• EBITDA was approximately negative $465,000, a decrease of 274% compared to approximately $267,000 in the first quarter last year.

CEO of AsiaFIN, KC Wong said, "AsiaFiN continues to expand its addressable market, positioning the company for significant growth. In the first quarter, we successfully entered the Middle East market, securing contracts with a major government financial institution. These relationships are expected to contribute to revenue beginning in the second half of this year, and we are pursuing additional opportunities in the region."

"From a seasonality perspective, the first quarter, typically incurs higher expenses related to the renewal of maintenance contracts, with revenue contributions increasing as the year progresses," continued Mr. Wong. "We also accelerated our onboarding of staff to support our growth, leading to higher operating cost in the first quarter of 2025 and resulting in temporary negative gross margins. We anticipate returning to positive gross margins in the second quarter and for the remainder of the year."

"Our first quarter revenue growth accelerated nearly 20%, reflecting strong demand for our solutions," added Mr. Wong. "Our focus remains on leveraging our business model to convert incremental revenue into cash generation. We are balancing growth and the need for increased staffing with the goal of profitability to most effectively take advantage of global demand."

"Our core revenue generating unit, Regtech, delivered nearly 110% revenue growth year-over-year, as we continue to invest in this business unit," Wong concluded. "We continue to invest in our Robotic Process Automation (RPA) segment, moving toward positive gross margins as we scale this business. Management continues to believe RPA has the potential for significant revenue growth and margin potential."
