KUALA LUMPUR: Signature International Bhd is optimistic about its outlook for 2026, supported by a solid order book, resilient demand across Malaysia and Singapore, and consistent execution achieved throughout 2025.
Looking ahead to 2026, the group expects demand from its core segments to remain steady, particularly from the Singapore renovation and fit-out market under the Corten brand, as well as ongoing project deliveries within Malaysia.
As of the end of September 2025, Signature’s order book stood at RM1.14 billion, providing strong earnings visibility into the next financial year.
The order book comprises RM295 million from the Signature brand, RM680 million from the Corten brand, and RM169 million from interior fit-out works.
The group believes this backlog, combined with the disciplined project selection and execution approach, positions Signature well to navigate a more challenging operating environment in 2026.
Group CEO KS Lau said that as the group looks to 2026, confidence is anchored in fundamentals.
“We have a strong order book, steady demand from our core markets, and an operating model that allows us to execute projects with discipline.
“Our experience in Singapore, particularly under the Corten brand, continues to be a key contributor, while interior fit-out works remain an important earnings pillar.
“These factors give us visibility and stability as we move forward,” he said in a statement.
The group’s positive outlook for 2026 is underpinned by the progress made in 2025.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Signature recorded a profit before tax of RM96.8 million on revenue of RM726.6 million, reflecting steady operating performance across its businesses.
Growth during the year was driven mainly by interior fit-out works and sustained demand from the Corten brand’s Singapore market segment.
Throughout 2025, Signature focused on execution discipline, margin management and balance sheet strength.
This approach enabled the group to maintain stable profitability despite cost pressures and broader economic uncertainties.
In recognition of its cash flow position and earnings resilience, the board declared an interim single-tier dividend of 3.0 sen per ordinary share during the year.
While management remains mindful of potential headwinds in 2026, including operating cost pressures and global economic uncertainties, Signature believes its diversified revenue base, asset-light model and strong client relationships will continue to support performance.
Signature, a subsidiary of Chin Hin Group Bhd, remains focused on strengthening its position as a leading provider of kitchen systems, wardrobe solutions, and interior fit-out services across Malaysia and Singapore, while pursuing sustainable, disciplined growth into 2026.
