Earnings per share (EPS) improved to 5.32 sen, compared to 5.10 sen in the same period last year.

At the close of trade, Lagenda shares stood at RM1.20, valuing the Group at RM1.0 billion.   ABOUT LAGENDA PROPERTIES BERHAD LAGENDA PROPERTIES BERHAD (“Lagenda” or KLSE: LAGENDA (7179)) is a property developer listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia.

Lagenda Properties Expands Its Footprint into Negeri Sembilan with Acquisition of 138.17 Acres of Land for RM60.19 million

Lagenda Properties Expands Its Footprint into Negeri Sembilan with Acquisition of 138.17 Acres of Land for RM60.19 million KUALA LUMPUR, 20 MARCH 2025 – Lagenda Properties Berhad (“Lagenda”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Vivafirst Sdn Bhd, has acquired 138.17 acres of land in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan for RM60.19 million. This acquisition, with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM560 million, marks Lagenda’s strategic entry into Negeri Sembilan, further expanding its development footprint across Malaysia. Strategically situated in the heart of Senawang, close to key industrial parks and established residential developments, this acquisition represents Lagenda’s first venture into Negeri Sembilan and its sixth state nationwide.  The site is ideally positioned to tap into the strong demand for affordable housing in the surrounding areas. With its well-connected infrastructure and proximity to essential amenities, this location offers exceptional potential for the development of a large-scale, integrated and affordable township. Lagenda’s Group Managing Director, Dato’ Jimmy Doh, stated, “As part of our strategic growth plan, we are actively exploring expansion opportunities in new states where we have yet to establish a presence.  Senawang, with its close access to key infrastructure such as the North-South Expressway (PLUS), LEKAS Highway, public transportation, essential amenities, industrial parks, and established residential communities, stands out as an ideal location for us to advance our mission of developing affordable homes within integrated townships.  This will create long-term value for both residents and stakeholders. “As Senawang has evolved from an industrial hub into a vibrant and thriving township, it has drawn a diverse population.  We are confident that our expertise will allow us to address the growing demand for affordable homes and a practical lifestyle, especially for skilled workers and young families,” he added. With this latest acquisition in Negeri Sembilan, Lagenda Properties will have its land bank increase to a total of 5,201 acres, further solidifying its presence across key states starting with Perak, Selangor, Johor, Kedah, and Pahang. Lagenda’s strategy has consistently focused on acquiring sites situated just outside established towns yet still offering easy access to essential amenities and key infrastructure.  This approach enables Lagenda to effectively address the housing needs of the underserved of B40 and M40 income groups, making homeownership more accessible to a broader range of Malaysians. As Malaysia continues to face challenges in providing sufficient affordable homes for its growing population, Lagenda’s efforts to meet the housing needs of the B40 and M40 income groups are crucial in bridging the affordability gap and ensuring more Malaysians can achieve homeownership.  These efforts align with the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), which emphasizes the importance of closing the urban-rural living gap and addressing the increasing deficit in affordable housing.

During Q3FY2024, the Group recorded revenue of RM283.4 million, representing a significant year-on-year increase of 30.1% compared to RM217.9 million in the same quarter of the previous year. This growth was driven by an increase in revenue across the property development, construction, and trading segments. Specifically, the property development segment registered a 50.5% increase in revenue, spurred by the successful launches of new projects such as Darulaman Lagenda Phase 3A (Kedah), Lagenda Suria Phases 1A and 1B (Johor), Puncak Warisan Phase 1 (Johor) and Lagenda Aman (Perak). The Group also achieved a new milestone in this quarter, recording its highest-ever quarterly property sales of RM349 million, with contributions from the states of Perak, Johor, and Selangor.

Together, we will continue building homes that empower communities and contribute to a brighter future for the country.” Looking ahead, Lagenda emphasised the positive impact of the measures introduced in Budget 2025 for the property development sector, particularly in affordable housing. Notable initiatives include a RM10 billion allocation for government-guaranteed loans of up to RM500,000 for first-time homebuyers and a tax relief of up to RM7,000 for this group. Furthermore, the recently announced phased salary increments for civil servants across the country are expected to boost demand further. “Lagenda remains steadfast in its mission to provide affordable homes at strategic locations, ensuring that quality housing is accessible to the masses. The initiatives outlined in Budget 2025 align perfectly with our vision, reinforcing our commitment to meeting the needs of first-time homebuyers and supporting the B40 and lower-M40 communities.” Dato’ Jimmy Doh added.

Revenue and PAT were 24.7% and 9.0% higher in comparison to the corresponding quarter last year due to strong sales momentum and growing construction progress from various projects, most notably Lagenda Teluk Intan, Lagenda Tropika, and Darulaman Lagenda. Demand for the Group’s homes remained high as Lagenda Properties recorded confirmed sales of RM222.6 million for Q1FY2024. The majority of sales was driven by Lagenda Suria in Johor and the newly launched Lagenda Aman in Perak. Further, bookings were recorded at RM230.7 million which provide a solid pipeline for future sales conversion. Revenue visibility for 2024 was underscored by unbilled sales amounting to RM633.7million, which will mostly be recognised as revenue in 2024 as construction activities continue to escalate across various projects in the coming months.

Revenue and profit after tax grew by 24.7% and 9.0% year-on-year to RM225.6 million and RM42.9 million respectively. This is a good start to the year and sets the tone for a fruitful 2024 as we look to increase our momentum over the coming quarters. Looking ahead, we expect our confirmed sales to grow over the upcoming quarters as we will ramp up our launches. We had only launched over 500 units in Q1FY2024 and so far as of May 2024, that figure has now reached over 3,000 units. Our goal is to launch more than 8,000 units overall across Perak, Johor, Selangor and Pahang over the course of the year, which will expand our presence to five states in Malaysia inclusive of Kedah. This marks a significant increase from the 3,600 homes launched in 2023 and reflects our commitment to addressing the growing nationwide demand for affordable housing. To add on, based on our target launches this year, over 75% of our launches in 2024 will be outside our initial homebase of Perak. With our proven track record and strong take-up rates to date, we are confident that the new launches will be well-received by the market. Our growth plans are backed by our landbank of 5,310 acres which carries a remaining Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately RM14.8 billion. We will primarily focus on capitalising on the demand for affordable housing in Johor, where we currently hold approximately 1,522 acres, representing 29% of our total landbank. Moving forward, we are dedicated to further establishing ourselves on a larger scale as the preferred affordable housing developer for Malaysians.

In 4Q2023, Lagenda registered revenue of RM248.1 million, marking a significant 14% and 26% increase compared to the preceding two quarters (being 3Q2023 and 2Q2023, respectively), reflecting the ongoing momentum in sales and construction activities.

On a full-year basis, revenue for the twelve months ended 31 December 2023 (“FY2023”) closed at RM843.3 million, while PATAMI stood at RM153.1 million.

Notably, confirmed sales for the year reached the RM1.04 billion mark, showcasing a remarkable 33% increase compared to the previous year’s figure of RM788 million. With projects reaching mid-development cycle in 2024, there will be faster revenue recognition compared to 2023 when most projects were in the early stages. As of 31 December 2023, the Group’s unbilled sales stood at RM732.4 million, while outstanding bookings reached RM268.3 million, providing visibility of future revenue. Managing Director of Lagenda Properties, Dato’ Jimmy Doh <拿督卓致明>, commented: In FY2023, we achieved a significant milestone by exceeding RM1 billion in confirmed sales for the first time. This is a clear testament to the robust demand for our affordable and wellplanned townships. This achievement underscores our commitment to providing quality homes that meet the needs of Malaysians. In the past year, our focus has been on fortifying operational capabilities, laying the groundwork for a multi-state expansion, and strategically replenishing our landbank to fuel future growth. We are confident that this foundation will position us favourably in the coming years. Beyond sales figures, we expanded our geographic footprint in 2023, launching projects in three states: Perak, Kedah, and Johor. In Johor, we currently have a sizable remaining landbank of approximately 1,500 acres of land with an estimated Gross Development Value (“GDV”) of RM5.6 billion, where we plan to launch three townships by the end of 2024. This expansion reflects our positive outlook on this vibrant state and the potential it holds. We believe there is vast untapped demand for affordable housing in Johor, where a significant number of households still lack homeownership. Additionally, we have the option to acquire another 200 acres in Johor, providing us with flexibility and the opportunity to further expand our presence in this promising market. 2024 is poised to be a vibrant and exciting year for Lagenda as we plan to launch over 8,000 units of affordable homes, more than doubling the figure from 2023. We are ramping up to commence launches in two new states, Selangor and Pahang, expanding our presence to five states by year-end. This nationwide presence allows us to cater to a broader range of buyers and contribute to the housing needs of communities across Malaysia. With our continued focus on of Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives, we maintained our status as a constituent of the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index and FTSE4GOOD Bursa Malaysia Syariah Index. Moving forward, we have plans to further integrate ESG elements into our core business of affordable housing, particularly focusing on the renewable energy sector, where our vast townships present an ideal canvas for innovative solar projects,” he added.

In 3Q 2023, Lagenda registered revenue of RM217.9 million, an increase of 21% compared to RM180.7 million achieved in the corresponding period of the previous financial year (“3Q2022”). The uptick in revenue was from heightened construction activities and sales conversion from various projects, most notably Lagenda Teluk Intan 3A & 3B, and Darulaman Lagenda (Kedah). Profit after tax and minority interest (“PATAMI”) during the quarter was RM38.8 million as compared to RM35.7 million in 3Q2022. Confirmed sales for the first nine months of the year reached RM796 million, marking a remarkable 44% increase from the same cumulative period of the previous year and surpassing the total confirmed sales for the entire financial year 2022. Unbilled sales as at 30 September 2023 amounted to RM855.1 million providing visibility in the coming quarters, while bookings of RM297.0 million provide a robust pipeline for future sales. Managing Director of Lagenda Properties, Dato’ Jimmy Doh <拿督卓致明> commented: “Our results for 3Q 2023 began to show a positive trajectory having successfully transitioned to Industrialised Building Systems (IBS) for our newer projects in Teluk Intan and Kedah. We are now positioned for accelerated progress in the upcoming quarters as construction activities continue to ramp up. With this, we anticipate a swifter conversion of sales into revenue and profits moving forward. Confirmed sales are the leading indicator for demand and future revenue, and we achieved a new record for confirmed sales in 3Q 2023. This robust momentum is expected to persist into 2024 and beyond, propelled by high bookings for projects such as Darulaman Lagenda (Kedah), Lagenda Teluk Intan (Perak), and Lagenda Suria (Mersing). With construction activities progressing as planned and rising sales, we are well-positioned for the future. Lagenda specialises in affordable landed homes with lifestyle facilities, thriving in a market where demand remains consistently strong. Having recently launched our latest township in Mersing, Johor, we have expanded our presence into three states. The latest launch in Mersing was met with overwhelming demand, demonstrating the evergreen appeal of our townships and reinforcing that we are adopting the right strategies to replicate our success. Lagenda has a distinctive value proposition and remains confident in our ability to deliver value. Our sizable vacant land bank of almost 4,700 acres with an estimated remaining GDV of above RM12 billion provides sustainability of long-term growth.

Lagenda Properties Achieves 42% Jump in Confirmed Sales to RM507 Million For 1H 2023

Lagenda Properties Achieves 42% Jump in Confirmed Sales to RM507 Million For 1H 2023 KUALA LUMPUR, 21 AUGUST 2023 – Affordable housing and integrated township developer Lagenda Properties Berhad (“Lagenda Properties”, “Lagenda” or “the Group”, Stock Code:7179) has today released its second quarter financial results for the three months ended 30 June 2023 (“2Q2023”). In 2Q2023, Lagenda registered revenue of RM196.4 million, an increase of 8.5% as compared to RM181.0 million achieved in the first quarter of this year (“1Q2023”) primarily from better sales conversion. Profit after tax and minority interest (“PATAMI”) during the quarter was RM33.2 million as compared to RM39.3 million in 1Q2023. PATAMI was higher in the preceding quarter mainly due to a revaluation surplus amounting to RM4.8 million. Demand for Lagenda’s homes continued on a strong trajectory in 2Q2023 and we recorded confirmed sales of RM507.0 million in the first half of the year, surpassing last year’s achievement by 42%, driven by Darulaman Lagenda in Kedah. Revenue and earnings visibility is further underscored by unbilled sales amounting to RM811.2 million as of 30 June 2023, while bookings of RM347.6 million provide a solid pipeline for future sales. Lagenda continues to reward shareholders and declared a first interim single-tier dividend of 3.0 sen per ordinary share which will be paid on 25 September 2023. The total dividend payout amounts to RM25.1 million, representing a payout ratio of 35% for the six months ended 30 June 2023. Managing Director of Lagenda Properties, Dato’ Jimmy Doh <拿督卓致明> commented: “During the first half of the year, we were transitioning from traditional construction methods to Industrialised Building Systems (IBS) for our newer projects in Teluk Intan and Kedah. This led to a temporarily slower construction pace which was expected as we were getting used to the new IBS system. Owing to this, revenue recognition was lower in comparison to the previous financial year. However, we are now moving towards full implementation of IBS in these projects, and we expect to see an acceleration in construction speed. Our confirmed sales and project take-ups have surged strongly, reaching RM507 million for the 1H 2023 which was our strongest performance in any six months and a spike of 42% compared to the same period of last year. With construction activities gaining momentum, we will see faster conversion of sales into revenue and profits in the coming quarters. There is still a significant shortage of affordable housing across most states and demand will remain robust in the foreseeable future. Lagenda has a proven track record of delivering landed affordable housing with lifestyle facilities and our key projects have recorded take-up rates of above 90%. This re-affirms that we are attuned to the market’s preferences and needs. Affordable housing development goes beyond merely constructing homes. It involves creating sustainable communities that prioritise the environment and well-being of residents. Lagenda was included as a constituent of the FTSE4GOOD Index in June, and we will continue to integrate sustainability elements into our business strategies. We are confident in our positioning and ability to grow to deliver value over the long term. Our sizable vacant land bank of almost 4,700 acres across five states with an estimated remaining GDV of above RM12 billion provides us with a solid foundation for future growth. We also have a strong balance sheet with low net gearing of 0.05 times, giving us the financial flexibility to pursue strategic initiatives to widen our footprint.

Lagenda Properties to Launch More Than 7,000 Affordable Homes in FY2023

Lagenda Properties to Launch More Than 7,000 Affordable Homes in FY2023 KUALA LUMPUR, 22 MAY 2023 – Affordable housing and integrated township developer Lagenda Properties Berhad (“Lagenda Properties” or “the Group”, Stock Code:7179) has today released its first quarter financial results for the three months ended 31 March 2023 (“1Q2023”). In 1Q2023, Lagenda Properties reported revenue and profit after tax and minority interest (“PATAMI”) of RM181.0 million and RM39.3 million, respectively, while confirmed sales surged to RM257.5 million, an impressive 78% year-on-year increase. Revenue and PATAMI were 6% and 16% lower compared to the previous year’s corresponding quarter (1Q 2022) due to the different timing and stages of construction activities directly impacting revenue recognition. Lagenda Properties anticipates an acceleration in the construction progress for various townships, including Darulaman Lagenda (Kedah) and Lagenda Tropika (Perak), in the later part of the year. This will lead to a corresponding increase in progress billing, allowing revenue and profit to catch up for FY2023. Lagenda remains bullish for FY2023 and the future, backed by the strong demand for the Group’s homes as evidenced by its impressive growth in confirmed sales. Notably, a significant portion of the growth in confirmed sales was driven by booking conversions in Darulaman Lagenda, which achieved an outstanding take-up rate of 94% as at the end of 1Q 2023. Building upon this success in Kedah, the Group has plans to launch Phase 3 in the second half of 2023. Revenue visibility is further underscored by unbilled sales amounting to RM781.8 million, while bookings of RM433.0 million as of 31 March 2023 provide a solid pipeline for future sales conversion. Managing Director of Lagenda Properties, Dato’ Jimmy Doh <拿督卓致明> commented: “We are satisfied with our performance in 1Q2023. It is important to note that revenue and profits in the property development industry are closely tied to the construction stages of projects. As we embark on more projects in the future, we anticipate that our revenue recognition will be more evenly spread across these developments throughout the year. In the forthcoming months, we anticipate a surge in momentum as we plan to launch over 7,000 homes across Perak, Kedah, and Johor this year. This is a significant increase in our launch volume, compared to the 4,800 homes launched in 2022 and demonstrates our commitment to meeting the growing demand for affordable housing while expanding our market footprint. With our proven track record and take-up rates so far, we are confident that the new launches will be well-received by the market. From a sales perspective, we have seen momentum increase steadily from January to March, and we anticipate this trend to continue as the year progresses with the roll-out of new launches. Lagenda Properties has a track record of successfully developing the largest affordable housing townships in various states, starting with Perak and now Kedah. Aside from our activities this year, we are also preparing to achieve another key milestone by developing a major affordable township next year in Kulai, Johor. This upcoming large-scale township will boast a GDV of RM4 billion and will comprise 12,000 units of affordable homes with commercial parcels. With various projects in the pipeline over the next few years, we remain confident in delivering future growth. It is crucial to recognise that affordable housing is not a transient trend but an enduring necessity that transcends economic cycles and market fluctuations. The opportunities for Lagenda Properties are abundant in all states, and our growth journey has only just begun,” he added. View Press Release Share
