Chin Hin Group’s 1H pre-tax earnings surges 72% to RM127m with revenue soaring 42% to RM1.9b

CHIN Hin Group Bhd, an integrated builder with unique intra-build ecosystem within the construction value chain, has delivered solid performance across its diversified business segments for its 1H FY2025 ended June 30, 2025.

During the period under review the group’s revenue spiked 42% year-on-year (yoy) to RM1.91 bil (1H FY2024: RM1.34 bil) while its pre-tax profit rose sharply by 72% to RM127.1 mil (1H FY2024: RM93.94 mil).

This came on the back of improved sentiment across property development, building materials and subsidiary Signature International Bhd’s home and living solutions segment.

For the 2Q FY2025 period, the group’s revenue was up 23% yoy to RM954.53 mil (2Q FY2024: RM774.01 mil) while pre-tax profit was up 9% to RM60 mil (2Q FY2024: RM54.9 mil) excluding one-off gains in the previous year.

“Our first-half performance demonstrates the strength of Chin Hin’s integrated business model and our ability to deliver growth even in a challenging operating environment,” commented Chin Hin Group’s group managing director Datuk Wira Chiau Haw Choon.

“Beyond results, we’re sharpening our portfolio. The divestment of Metex Steel and the commercial vehicle division reflects a deliberate strategy to unlock value from businesses with limited growth potential and to re-deploy capital into high-demand, higher-return areas such as building materials and property development. “

At the same time, Chiau expects group-wide digital transformation with Kingdee International to standardise operations across finance, procurement, HR (human resources) and sales on a single AI (artificial intelligence)-enabled backbone, thus positioning Chin Hin for the GenAI era.

“We remain committed to disciplined execution, innovation and sustainability to create enduring value for our stakeholders,” he added.

Elsewhere, the group’s construction division maintains a robust order book of RM1.94 bil, thus providing earnings visibility and strong activity levels across infrastructure, industrial and commercial subsectors.

At the close of today’s (Aug 28) market trading, Chin Hin Group was up 2 sen or 0.92% to RM2.19 with 566,600 shares traded thus valuing the company at RM7.75 bil. – Aug 28, 2025
