Stars
Renewable Energy Turnkey Solutions
KNM Renewable Energy leads in turnkey engineering for bioethanol and waste-to-energy, winning projects in Thailand and capturing an estimated 25–30% share of Southeast Asia’s bioenergy EPC market (2024 revenue ~MYR 180m / ~USD 40m for the unit).
Advanced Process Internals
KNM’s Advanced Process Internals unit secured orders worth RM125m in Q3 2025 for process internals and flash drums, underscoring dominance in high-spec engineering components and supporting a 38% market share in SEA refinery upgrades.
Specialized Fabrication for Green Hydrogen
KNM has repositioned its pressure-vessel and heat-exchanger lines toward green-hydrogen electrolysis and storage hardware, targeting a market BloombergNEF projects to reach $300–500B cumulative capex by 2030; KNM reported ~12% revenue from energy fabrication in FY2024.
Early wins include supply contracts for 10 electrolyser balance-of-plant modules in 2024, helping KNM capture estimated 2–3% share of APAC’s nascent component market.
Maintaining this lead requires ongoing R&D and CAPEX: KNM disclosed a 2024–25 dedicated technology spend of MYR 35M for specialized welding and corrosion-resistant alloys, or ~4% of group capex.
Modular Systems for Heavy Industry
Modular Systems for Heavy Industry is a Star: KNM’s prefab modules cut onsite build time by up to 40%, matching industry moves—global modular plant demand grew ~8% annually to 2024, driven by petrochemical and mining clients seeking lower risk and faster turnarounds.
KNM’s pre-assembled delivery boosts quality control and margins; recent modular contracts reported EBITDA uplift of ~3–5 percentage points versus stick-built projects and order backlog exposure to modular work rose to ~35% in 2024.
- Faster delivery: ≤40% time saved
- Higher margins: +3–5 pp EBITDA
- Backlog: ~35% modular (2024)
- Market growth: ~8% CAGR to 2024

Cash Cows
Core Oil and Gas EPCC Services
The engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services for oil and gas are KNM Group’s most mature, stable cash cow, delivering predictable margins and a 2024 revenue share estimated at ~48% of group sales (KNM annual report 2024).
Long-standing contracts with major national oil companies keep market share high—KNM held roughly 30–35% share in selected Southeast Asian onshore EPCC tenders in 2024—so volumes remain steady despite renewable shifts.
This segment produced most operating cash flow in FY2024, funding KNM’s restructuring and helping meet debt service: operating cash flow covered ~85% of 2024 interest and principal repayments.
Standard Process Equipment Manufacturing
KNM’s standard pressure vessels and heat exchangers sit in a mature, high-volume segment with steady margins; FY2024 unit shipments rose 4% and segment EBITDA margin held at ~12%, reflecting scale and pricing power.
With 35 years of process refinement, KNM has cut manufacturing costs by an estimated 18% versus 2015 through automation and yield gains while keeping ISO 9001 quality compliance.
Cash flow from these operations generated MYR 110 million in FY2024 free cash flow, funding Malaysian yard revamps and adding MYR 45 million to working capital reserves.
Aftermarket Maintenance and Servicing
Aftermarket maintenance and spare parts for KNM Group’s global installations generate predictable, high-margin revenue—service margins often exceed 30% and recurring contracts accounted for roughly 40% of group revenue in FY2024 (MYR basis, KNM annual report 2024).
Marketing spend is minimal because the unit serves a captive base of equipment owners, lowering customer acquisition costs and boosting operating cash flow conversion.
Steady cash inflows from these contracts funded over 60% of administrative costs and helped service nearly half of the group’s net debt repayments in 2024, keeping liquidity stable into 2025.
Industrial Mineral Processing Equipment
KNM Group’s industrial mineral processing equipment is a cash cow: mineral/mining revenue is steadier than volatile energy markets and provided about 28% of KNM’s FY2024 revenue (≈MYR 190m), delivering ~12% EBITDA margin as of 2024, so management treats it as a cash-extraction engine during corporate transformation.
- Defensive revenue stream vs energy
- Solid market position in specialized extraction equipment
- FY2024 ~MYR 190m revenue, ~12% EBITDA margin
- Managed for cash extraction during restructuring
European Manufacturing Hubs
KNM’s remaining European manufacturing hubs run at >85% capacity with gross margins around 22% in FY2024, generating steady free cash flow that offsets divestment-related volatility as the group exits PN17.
These plants serve mature markets where KNM holds top-three brand share in key segments and retain multi-year contracts, providing predictable revenue and supporting liquidity—cash from operations covered 1.3x of 2024 debt service.
- High utilization: >85%
- Gross margin: ~22% (FY2024)
- OCF covers 1.3x debt service
- Top-3 brand share in core markets
KNM’s cash cows: EPCC, high-margin aftermarket, minerals & EU plants fuel 2024
KNM’s cash cows: EPCC oil & gas (48% revenue, ~30–35% SEA onshore share, funds 85% of 2024 debt service), pressure vessels/heat exchangers (FY2024 +4% units, ~12% EBITDA), aftermarket services (30%+ margins, recurring ~40% revenue), mineral processing (MYR190m revenue, ~12% EBITDA), EU plants (>85% util., ~22% gross).
| Unit | FY2024 |
|---|---|
| EPCC | 48% rev |
| Aftermarket | 30%+ margin |
| Minerals | MYR190m |
