StockAnalysis — AutoCount (ADB) annual revenue FY2023-25 (mirrors Bursa audited filings)Focus Malaysia — 9M FY2025 net profit RM27.41M, revenue RM61.38MFocus Malaysia — Q1 FY2026 recurring revenue RM4.4M; revenue normalises as onboarding rush endsAutoCount — founded 1996, 240,000+ businesses servedEY Malaysia — Choo Yan Tiee, 2019 Entrepreneur Of The Year nominee
Revenue.value RM75.3M is AutoCount's FY2025 statutory revenue from its Bursa Malaysia audited annual results, mirrored on StockAnalysis (FY2025 RM75.33M, FY2024 RM60.60M, FY2023 RM41.49M) — hence FILED. The company's own results announcement (Feb 2026) headlined it as 'record revenue of RM75.5 million, up 24.6%' with PAT RM31.2M (up 58.2%) and 83% gross margin; I use the round statutory figure and note the RM0.2M rounding gap. USD converted at about 4.45 MYR/USD (RM75.3M is about $16.9M, shown as 'about $17M'). Metric tiles: '240k+ businesses' is AutoCount's own cumulative marketing figure on its site (likely lifetime installs, not active payers) — treated as company-stated, our-read on precision; RM27.41M is the 9-month FY2025 net profit and RM4.4M the record Q1 FY2026 recurring revenue, both per Focus Malaysia citing Bursa filings. Honest caveat carried through softSpot/dies/keyMove.counter: a large slice of FY2024-25 growth was one-off e-invoicing onboarding revenue — Q1 FY2026 revenue fell 43% YoY (RM14.47M vs RM25.55M) as it normalised — so durability now rests on the growing recurring SaaS base (recurring income rose from 12.7% to 30.4% of total revenue per Focus Malaysia). Founders Choo Yan Tiee (MD/CEO) and Choo Chin Peng (chairman) are brothers, each about 30.8% holders; founder.links carries only the confirmed product site (no verified personal/social profile found — none fabricated). Regulation angle is clean: Malaysia's phased LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing mandate legally forces SMEs into compliant invoicing, and AutoCount's incumbent installed base captures the upgrade. verified:true (first-party audited filing). We never score you.
