Lagenda Properties Reports 6.8% Revenue Growth in First Half of 2025, Registers Highest-Ever Quarterly Sales of RM413 Million KUALA LUMPUR, 27 AUG 2025 – Lagenda Properties Berhad (“Lagenda” or “the Group”) (KLSE: LAGENDA – 7179), a leading developer of affordable housing and integrated townships, reported a 6.8% year-on-year revenue growth in its 6-month financial period ended 30 June 2025 (1HFY25). The Group recorded revenue of RM503.30 million in the first half of 2025, up from RM471.45 million a year earlier. Net profit stood at RM89.82 million, a marginal decline of 1.4% compared to RM91.10 million in the corresponding period last year. For the second quarter ended 30 June 2025 (Q2FY25), Lagenda reported revenue of RM238.89 million, a slight decline from RM245.83 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was mainly attributed to projects nearing completion, including Lagenda Teluk Intan Phase 3B in Perak and Darulaman Lagenda Phases 2 and 3A in Sungai Petani, Kedah, which resulted in lower incremental completion percentages for the quarter. Net profit eased 6.5% year-on-year to RM45.24 million, primarily due to higher administrative expenses arising from increased staff costs as the Group expanded its presence into Johor, Selangor and Pahang over the past year. Against the preceding quarter (Q1FY25), revenue eased from RM264.4 million to RM238.9 million. However, gross profit margin improved from 32.6% to 37.6%, while profit after tax rose to RM45.2 million, with PAT margin strengthening from 16.9% to 18.9%. The Group delivered a record-breaking quarterly sales performance of RM413 million, the highest in its history, fueled by overwhelming demand in Johor (La’ Lumière and Puncak Warisan), Pahang (La’ Indera), and Selangor (Lagenda Ardea). Unbilled sales also surged to an all-time high of RM1.05 billion with outstanding bookings at RM276.60 million, underscoring the Group’s robust pipeline and providing exceptional earnings visibility moving forward. Lagenda declared a single-tier first interim dividend of 3 sen per share on 837.33 million shares, amounting to approximately RM25.12 mil, which shall be paid on 10 November 2025. Managing Director, Dato’ Jimmy Doh said, “Lagenda Properties has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver homes and lifestyles that Malaysians can both afford and prefer. With our expansion now spanning six states, our strategy is to continue developing affordable, integrated townships that cater to a wider demographic, while leveraging growth opportunities from special economic zones such as the Johor-Singapore SEZ, which is expected to further accelerate demand for affordable living. This commitment is aligned with the 13th Malaysia Plan’s target of delivering one million affordable homes by 2035”. The Group remains focused on executing its planned launches while sustaining a disciplined land banking strategy, acquiring land at competitive prices within key growth corridors. Lagenda shares closed at RM1.19 (down by 0.8%), giving the Group a market capitalisation of RM996 million. View Press Release Share
