RNS Number : 2162U  Fairview International PLC  25 February 2026

 

Fairview International PLC

 

("Fairview" or the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Trading update and business review

 

Fairview, the operator of International Baccalaureate ("IB")-focused
international schools and developer of scalable education services, is pleased
to provide a trading update ahead of publishing its interim results for the
six-month period ended 31 December 2025, together with an update on the
Board's business review meeting which took place earlier this month.

 

Preliminary results for the six months ended 31 December 2025

 

The Board is pleased to announce that revenue earned for the six months ended
31 December 2025 increased by £198,000 (or 7%) to £2.98 million, up from
£2.78 million in the corresponding period in the previous year. This
improvement is primarily attributed to the increase in the student fees and
ancillary income. Student numbers rose by 2% over the period to 723 as at 31
December 2025 from 710 at the beginning of the financial period. Gross profit
grew over the six-month period by 13% to £1.59 million from £1.40 million
earned in the corresponding six-month period ended 31 December 2024. The
increase in gross profit reflects improving operating leverage across the
Group's largely fixed-cost base.

 

The Board expects to publish the Company's unaudited consolidated interim
results for the six months to 31 December 2025 in mid-March 2026.

 

Academic excellence

 

Fairview's academic results continue to be a key differentiator and for the
sixth consecutive year the Fairview Kuala Lumpur campus was ranked in the top
100 IB schools globally and second in Malaysia.

 

Business review and developments

 

Alongside continued operational progress within the Group's schools, the Board
has initiated a detailed business review focused on both strengthening
earnings generation from the Group's education IP and hybrid delivery
capabilities, as well as clarifying Fairview's long-term positioning beyond
individual school assets. An important element in future proofing Fairview is
ensuring that the Company has a sustainable supply chain of new teachers. The
recent Memorandum of Understanding, entered into between the Arts University
Bournemouth and University College Fairview, for an exploratory partnership to
examine creative education collaboration in Malaysia, provides the opportunity
for UK students and graduates to enjoy work experience and take post graduate
teaching roles in the Fairview network of schools.

 

The Group's campus in Johor Bahru is also set to benefit operationally, and
through property development opportunities, from the Johor-Singapore Special
Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), a landmark cross border economic region covering 500
km(2) across southern Johor State.

 

Dr Vincent Chian, Chief Operating Officer, and head of business development,
at Fairview, commented:  "While we still have considerable capacity before we
reach the student numbers that our two campuses can accommodate, our strong
business model allows us to trade profitably and provide a clear path for
growing income as the majority of our costs are fixed. In addition, we have
the potential to leverage from our educational IP and collateral platform both
in Malaysia and overseas, and from our property assets in Johor Bahru."

Notes to Editors

 

About Fairview International PLC

 

Fairview International PLC is an IB-focused education group headquartered in
Malaysia. The Company owns and operates two private independent schools
offering the IB programme - one in Kuala Lumpur and one in Johor Bahru, near
the Singapore border.

 

Founded in 1978, the Fairview brand has developed a long-standing reputation
for academic excellence and IB delivery. The Kuala Lumpur campus is recognised
as the flagship school and has been ranked among the top IB schools globally
in recent years. The Johor Bahru campus serves a diverse and internationally
focused student base, including families connected to the Singapore market.

 

In addition to its owned campuses, three other schools in Malaysia and one in
the United Kingdom trade under the Fairview brand under licence arrangements.
These schools are under common control but are held outside the Group. All
Fairview-branded schools are individually accredited by the International
Baccalaureate Organisation to deliver the IB Primary Years and Middle Years
Programmes, with Fairview Kuala Lumpur also authorised to offer the IB Diploma
Programme.

 

Beyond operating schools, Fairview is developing scalable education services
designed to strengthen earnings resilience and long-term growth. These include
teacher training pathways, hybrid and online learning capability, and codified
academic systems that support both its own campuses and potential partner
institutions.

 

The Directors believe that rising demand for internationally recognised
qualifications across ASEAN and Asia generally, combined with increasing
global mobility among families, creates attractive opportunities for
high-quality, repeatable IB-focused education systems.
