MAIN Market-listed conglomerate Chin Hin Group Bhd has dished out a strong and resilient performance for its 4Q FY2025 ended Dec 31, 2025 underpinned by disciplined execution, improved earnings composition and a significantly strengthened balance sheet.
For its FY2025, the group achieved a historic high in top-line performance with its revenue rising to RM4.07 bil, marking a 25.2% year-on-year (yoy) growth (FY2024: RM3.25 bil).
Similarly, its gross profit jumped 47.3% to RM773.4 mil with gross margin expanding 2.9% to 19.0%, reflecting a better revenue mix and stronger contributions from property development, construction and home living segments. The group’s pre-tax profit grew 13.9% yoy to RM314.18 mil (FY2024: RM275.64 mil).
“Our FY2025 focus translated into stronger earnings quality, improved cash generation and a meaningful reduction in gearing,” commented Chin Hin Group’s group managing director Datuk Wira Chiau Haw Choon.
“While we continue to sharpen margins in building materials, the group now operates from a much stronger financial and operational base.”
Added Chiau: “With a robust pipeline and integrated IntraBuild ecosystem, we enter 2026 with confidence and we are well-positioned to continually deliver sustainable growth and long-term value to our stakeholders and the communities that we serve.”
All segments performed
The group’s Property Development division emerged as a key growth engine in FY2025 by delivering revenue of RM895.0 mil (nearly four times the RM232.1 mil in FY2024).
It recorded a pre-tax profit of RM117.0 mil – a RM130.8 mil turnaround from the prior year loss of RM13.8 mil – supported by progressive revenue recognition and steady construction progress across key projects, including Dawn, Ayanna, Andalan and Avantro.
The Construction Engineering division posted steady performance with revenue rising 36.4% yoy to RM845.2 mil with its pre-tax profit edging up 17.8% to RM22.3 mil on the back of stable execution across a diversified order book.
Led by Signature International Bhd, the group’s Home & Living segment continued to scale strongly. Revenue from kitchen systems, wardrobes and interior fit-out works shot up 41.8% to RM967.4 mil, supported by robust demand across residential and commercial projects, stronger order fulfilment and expanding regional capabilities.
While its Building Materials revenue moderated by 4.4% to RM1.90 bil largely due to the strategic exit from wire mesh manufacturing, the division remained profitable at RM134.1 mil in pre-tax profit and strategically important within the group’s integrated ecosystem.
Clear FY2026 execution focus
The group’s net debt was reduced by RM323.6 mil in FY2025 supported by a RM277.9 mil improvement in operating cash flow to RM217.9 mil amid active capital recycling through strategic disposals.
Cash and deposits increased 45.1% to RM565.5 mil while the group’s net gearing improved to 0.48x from 0.80x a year ago.
Moreover, the group’s RM80 mil third AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) plant in Serendah, Selangor remains on track for commissioning by July 2026.
Upon completion, this facility will house the world’s largest single AAC production line, expanding total capacity to 2.2 million cubic metres annually and reinforcing Chin Hin Group’s leadership in industrialised and sustainable building solutions
All in all, Chin Hin Group enters FY2026 with a stronger operational foundation and clearer execution focus.
It remains cautious amid on-going cost pressures and macroeconomic uncertainty, but is well-positioned to capture demands across infrastructure, industrial development, residential construction and downstream home solutions with a combined pipeline of RM5.29 bil.
This includes RM2.18 bil in unbilled property sales, RM1.81 bil (construction orders) and RM1.28 bil (Signature International’s backlog).
The group’s key priorities for FY2026 include:
- Sustaining disciplined execution across property and construction projects;
- Improving margin quality within building materials;
- Ramping up new AAC capacity;
- Deepening integration across the Group’s IntraBuild ecosystem; and
- Maintaining balance sheet resilience and cash flow discipline.
At 11am, Chin Hin Group was unchanged at RM2,20 with no traded volume and a market capitalisation of RM7.79 bil. – Ferb 27, 2026
