Nonetheless, revenue derived from the property development segment has improved by 27.1% as compared to the immediate preceding quarter. Profit after tax (“PAT”) in 1Q2021 was commendable at RM55.6 million which matches the RM55.7 million achieved in 4Q2020. The Group once again attained industry leading margins owing to our efficient and scalable business model, backed by deliberate land acquisition strategy.

Our projects continue to record robust take-up rates as we offer affordable landed homes with integrated townships at unbeatable prices of between RM150,000 – 200,000. We will be launching our third township in Tapah in the third quarter of 2021 and the GDV for this development is approximately RM1.9 billion. The successes of Bandar Baru Setia Awan Perdana and Lagenda Teluk Intan are a testament of our execution capability and we aim to achieve better efficiency on every new township as we replicate based on previous framework. On top of our current township projects, Lagenda envisions to launch at least one township annually with sales of 2,000 homes in each new township per annum. Based on our current margins, each township is expected to contribute circa RM100million to our bottom line. We are currently in a net cash position and this provides plentiful of opportunities for future growth. We believe our model is highly scalable and will continue to expand our business blueprint in other states of Malaysia to achieve our vision of being a Nationwide Affordable Township Developer.” View Press Release Share
