Chin Hin Group 9MFY25 PBT Climbs 19% as Revenue Jumps 32%

Chin Hin Group Bhd recorded another strong set of results for the nine months ended Sept 30, 2025, driven by broad-based expansion across its core businesses. The group posted RM2.98 billion in revenue, a 31.9% increase from RM2.26 billion in the same period last year, while gross profit surged 60.8% to RM555.9 million. Margins improved to 18.6%, compared with 15.3% previously. Profit before tax (PBT) rose 19.4% to RM199.7 million.

The Building Materials division remained Chin Hin’s largest revenue contributor, delivering RM1.44 billion. While revenue dipped marginally by 3.4% due to softer market conditions, PBT still climbed 14.9% year-on-year to RM77.6 million. The improvement was supported by firm demand for AAC and precast concrete products, stronger exports to Singapore, and ongoing operational efficiencies at Starken AAC and Ajiya.

Its Construction division delivered a significant uplift, booking RM595.6 million in revenue—an 85.2% jump compared with RM321.6 million a year earlier. The stronger showing was driven by faster progress across Chin Hin’s own property development projects and improved billing for external contracts. Division PBT rose 35.5% to RM13.0 million, supported by better project execution and productivity gains. With an order book of RM1.72 billion, the division has solid visibility heading into 2026.

Property Development continued to be one of the group’s strongest growth engines. Revenue vaulted 294.2% to RM612.2 million, while PBT expanded 908.7% to RM75.2 million, driven by active sales and rapid construction progress for projects such as Quaver, Ayanna, Avantro, Crown, Andalan, Dawn, Aricia and Botanica Hills. As of Sept 30, 2025, unbilled sales stood at RM2.3 billion, positioning the segment for steady earnings contribution. This momentum reflects the broader demand trend for mixed-use developments and strategically located commercial assets, especially near key industrial corridors in the Klang Valley and Greater KL.

The Home & Living division also delivered a standout performance. Signature International Bhd posted a 91.4% increase in revenue to RM726.6 million, while PBT rose 22% to RM83.6 million, supported by strong retail demand, expanding market coverage and improved economies of scale. Its order book remained healthy at RM975 million for kitchen and wardrobe systems and RM169 million for interior fit-out works.

Group managing director Datuk Wira Chiau Haw Choon said the results reflect Chin Hin’s focus on quality, sustainability and long-term capacity building. “It’s not just about the growth we achieve today, but the strength and resilience of the ecosystem we’re building—from building materials and construction to development and home living,” he said.

He added that capacity expansion, digitalisation, and energy-efficient initiatives are strategic investments aimed at positioning the group for the next decade. “As we enter the final quarter, our priorities remain clear: deliver consistently, strengthen margins, and cement Chin Hin as one of Malaysia’s most future-ready, responsible and integrated builders.”

Chin Hin recently strengthened its industrial property footprint through a strategic joint venture with PTT Synergy Berhad to develop smart, sustainable logistics and industrial assets under the PTT–Chin Hin Smart Logistic Hub. The initiative positions the group to capture rising demand for next-generation warehouses and Industry 4.0-ready facilities—particularly relevant as businesses continue seeking high-spec industrial land in Selangor and well-connected logistics hubs serving Greater KL.
