PETALING JAYA: Property developer S P Setia Bhd recorded a profit before tax of RM141mil and a net profit of RM89mil for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25), mainly attributable to operational efficiency and effective cost management.
For 1Q25, S P Setia posted a revenue of RM771mil as it continued to demonstrate financial resilience through delivering value to shareholders while also continuing to reduce borrowings by another RM156mil.
This led to a net gearing ratio of 0.35 times that, on a quarter-to-quarter basis, aligned with the company's debt reduction strategies.
'Our financial performance during the quarter underscores our continued efforts, persistence and implemented strategies as we adjust to the current market needs and conditions,' S P Setia's president and chief executive officer Datuk Choong Kai Wai said in a statement.
'Despite the market volatility, we will continue to leverage our diversified portfolio while optimising our capital efficiency and expanding our presence across high-growth segments,' he said.
He added that the company remains vigilant, monitoring market developments to manage potential impacts effectively.
S P Setia would be rolling out RM5.1bil of property projects and RM300mil of planned industrial launches for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025 (FY25) as the company continues to accelerate the portfolio of catalytic township developments, eco-industrial parks, strategic partnerships, land monetisation and capitalising on value creation across its key growth corridors.
For overseas projects, the company's recently launched ATLAS Melbourne, with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of A$886.7mil (RM2.7bil), has shown continued momentum in contribution to overall sales, while in Vietnam, new residential launches have been scheduled within the successful developments of EcoLakes in FY25.
The company also remains committed to achieving its RM4.8bil sales target for FY25 leveraging on an established reputation as one of the top-listed sustainable, master planned township developers in Malaysia.
For FY24, the company recorded RM5bil against a target of RM4.4bil.
For 1Q25, it has secured RM718mil in sales, with local projects contributing RM489mil or two-thirds of the total sales, and international projects contributing RM229mil.
It noted that for the domestic market, RM284mil in sales was secured from the central region and RM189mil from the southern region.
As of March 31, 2025, the company had an unbilled sales pipeline of RM3.8bil with 42 ongoing projects.

SETIA EcoHill 2, the sprawling 409ha (1,010-acre) freehold township in Semenyih, is transforming into a vibrant, sustainable community, with the latest additions to Setia Commerce Square. The successful launch of Nadi (Phase 3A), alongside landscape enhancements across the township, marks a pivotal moment in the development of a holistic community environment. As Klang Valley's Southern Corridor continues to evolve into the next hotspot for urban expansion, savvy investors are turning their attention to commercial development in Semenyih.

Its development has garnered a 70% take-up rate during its launch weekend, highlighting the demand for versatile commercial spaces within the township's mature and steadily growing population. 'Buoyed by the overwhelming response to Nadi 3A, we are now preparing to roll out Nadi 3B, the final phase of shop-offices within Setia Commerce Square. Comprising another 44 units with the same sought-after layout, Nadi 3B is expected to launch in Q4 2025, at a slightly higher price point in line with increasing demand and market confidence,' said Setia EcoHill 2 divisional general manager Koh Sooi Meng. 'Our target demographic for Nadi is made up of business owners and brands that intend to expand their shops and operations within the residential catchment of Setia EcoHill 2 and its surrounding areas.
