“Execution, efficiency and disciplined capital mgmt” is the mantra for Chin Hin Group’s future direction

MAIN Market-listed conglomerate Chin Hin Group Bhd has recorded strong growth across its diversified business segments via the continued expansion of its integrated intra-build ecosystem as reflected in its 9M FY2025 ended Sept 30, 2025 financial results.

For the nine-month period, the group posted an almost 32% year-on-year (yoy) surge in revenue to RM2.98 bil (9M FY2024: RM2.26 bil) while chalking up its pre-tax profit by 19.4% yoy to RM199.69 mil (9M FY2024: RM167.19 mil).

“We’ re strengthening every part of our ecosystem – from materials to construction, from development to home living – to create long-term resilience and scalability,” commented Chin Hin Group’s group managing director Datuk Wira Chiau Haw Choon.

“Our focus now is on execution, efficiency and disciplined capital management. We’re also investing ahead of demand. Capacity expansion, digitalisation and energy-efficient solutions are strategic decisions that prepare us for the next decade, not just the next quarter.”

Added Chiau: “As we move into the final quarter, our priority is clear: deliver consistently, strengthen margins and position Chin Hin as one of Malaysia’s most future-ready and responsible integrated builders.”

Biz remains resilient

The Building Materials division remained the group’s largest revenue contributor by delivering RM1.44 bil, a marginal decline from RM1.49 bil a year ago due to market softness.

Despite this, pre-tax profit inched up 14.9% yoy to RM77.6 mil supported by disciplined cost management, sustained demand for AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) and precast concrete, stronger export sales to Singapore and operational efficiencies within Starken AAC and Ajiya Bhd (in which Chin Hin Group is the single largest shareholder with 24.68% stake).

The Construction division posted revenue of RM595.6 mil, up 85.2% yoy from RM321.6 mil driven by accelerated progress of internal property development projects and improved recognition of external contracts.

The segment’s pre-tax earnings spiked 35.5% yoy to RM13.0 mil supported by improved project execution and operational productivity while its order book stood at RM1.72 bil which provides solid medium-term earnings visibility

Property Development continued to be a major growth driver by virtue of its revenue having surged 294.2% yoy to RM612.2 mil while its pre-tax profit expanded 908.7% yoy to RM75.2 mil on the back of active sales and strong construction progress across projects including Quaver, Ayanna, Avantro, Crown, Andalan, Dawn, Aricia and Botanica Hills.

As of end-September 2025, unbilled sales stood at RM2.3 bil.

Lastly, the Home & Living division delivered outstanding results with subsidiary Signature International Bhd (SIB) seeing a 91.4% yoy revenue jump to RM726.6 mil while pre-tax profit rose increasing 22.0% yoy to RM83.6 mil driven by resilient retail demand, market expansion and continued economies of scale.

As of end-September 2025, SIB’s order book remained strong at RM975 mil for kitchen and wardrobe systems and RM169 mil for interior fit-out works.

At 10.32am, Chin Hin Group was up 1 sen or 0.47% to RM2.12 with 85,100 shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM7.51 bil. – Nov 28, 2025
