KUALA LUMPUR: Chin Hin Group Bhd posted a robust performance for the nine months (9M) ended September 30, 2025 (FY25), reflecting strong growth across its diversified business segments and the continued expansion of its integrated intra-build ecosystem.
For 9M FY25, the group recorded revenue of RM2.98 billion, representing a 31.9% increase from RM2.26 billion in the 9M of FY24.
Gross profit rose 60.8% to RM555.9 million, with margins improving to 18.6% while profit before tax (PBT) increased 19.4% to RM199.7 million.
The building materials division remained the largest revenue contributor, delivering RM1.44 billion compared to RM1.49 billion a year ago, a marginal decline of 3.4% due to market softness.
However, PBT increased 14.9% YoY to RM77.6 million, supported by disciplined cost management, sustained demand for AAC and precast concrete, stronger export sales to Singapore, and operational efficiencies within Starken AAC and Ajiya.
The construction division posted revenue of RM595.6 million, up 85.2% YoY from RM321.6 million, driven by accelerated progress of internal property development projects and improved recognition of external contracts.
PBT increased 35.5% YoY to RM13.0 million, supported by improved project execution and operational productivity.
The division’s order book stood at RM1.72 billion, providing solid medium-term earnings visibility.
Property development continued to be a major growth driver.
Revenue surged 294.2% YoY to RM612.2 million, while PBT expanded 908.7% YoY to RM75.2 million, supported by active sales and strong construction progress across projects including Quaver, Ayanna, Avantro, Crown, Andalan, Dawn, Aricia and Botanica Hills.
Unbilled sales stood at RM2.3 billion as at September 30, 2025.
The home and living division, namely Signature International Bhd (SIB), delivered outstanding results.
SIB’s revenue rose 91.4% YoY to RM726.6 million, with PBT increasing 22.0% YoY to RM83.6 million, driven by resilient retail demand, market expansion, and continued economies of scale.
As at September 30, 2025, SIB’s order book remained strong at RM975 million for kitchen and wardrobe systems and RM169 million for interior fit-out works.
Chin Hin Group group managing director Datuk Wira Chiau Haw Choon said the first nine months of 2025 shows the company is building on a strong foundation.
“What matters most to us is not only the growth we deliver today, but the quality and sustainability of that growth.
“We are strengthening every part of our ecosystem — from materials to construction, from development to home living — to create long-term resilience and scalability. Our focus now is on execution, efficiency, and disciplined capital management.
“We are 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.
“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,” he said.
Malaysia’s economic outlook for 2025 remains stable, supported by domestic demand, infrastructure development and targeted fiscal policies. Chin Hin is well-positioned to benefit from these trends.
The third AAC plant in Serendah — a RM80 million investment with Jiangsu Teeyer — is on track to become the world’s largest single AAC line, raising total capacity to 2.2 million m³ annually by 2026.
The company’s Drymix Line C commenced operations in August 2025, adding 3,000 metric tonnes per month in additional capacity.
Further, its CoolPro energy-efficient building solutions continues to gain market traction, strengthening the group’s ESG profile.
SIB and the interior fit-out business continue to benefit from rising property transactions and strong demand for premium home solutions.
In addition, the group recently entered into a strategic joint venture with PTT Synergy Bhd to co-develop smart, sustainable logistics and industrial assets under the co-branded PTT–Chin Hin Smart Logistic Hub.
This initiative positions the group to capture growing demand for high-tech warehouses and Industry 4.0-ready infrastructure, fueled by the e-commerce and logistics sectors.
