VCIG FY2025: spin-off, heavy restructuring, ~$30M net loss and AI investments

AI Summary

VCI Global (VCIG) reported FY2025 revenue of $26.1M (down 6% YoY) with technology development revenue up 13.3% to $12.9M, other income boosted by a $5.9M FX gain, and a net loss of about $30.3M (EBITDA -$27.5M) driven by non‐cash valuation adjustments, restructuring charges, disposals and investments in AI infrastructure. Management completed the spin‐off of VCCG and pushed aggressive AI/IT spending (IT expenses +135%), funded partly by $66.2M of financing (≈$53.7M equity proceeds and $14M convertible notes), but year‐end cash was only $0.94M after $73M of investing outflows, highlighting near‐term cash‐burn risk despite the strategic pivot.
