SP Setia Delivers RM89 Million In Net Profit Despite Market Volatility
SP Setia Bhd kicked off the financial year on a strong footing, announcing resilient earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25), despite a backdrop of global market volatility. The group recorded a net profit of RM89 million, driven by operational efficiency and disciplined cost management.
Revenue for the quarter stood at RM771 million, underpinned by robust sales performance and effective execution across its diversified property portfolio. Notably, the group reduced its borrowings by RM156 million, maintaining a healthy net gearing ratio of 0.35 times, aligned with its ongoing debt-reduction strategy.
SP Setia secured RM718 million in sales for 1Q25, with local projects contributing RM489 million (68%) and international projects adding RM229 million (32%). Regionally, the Central region led domestic sales with RM284 million, followed by the Southern region at RM189 million.
'Our financial performance this quarter underscores the effectiveness of our strategies and adaptability to changing market dynamics.
'We continue to prioritise capital efficiency and expansion in high-growth segments, while navigating market fluctuations with prudence,' SP Setia President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Choong Kai Wai said.
Looking ahead, Choong said SP Setia plans to launch RM5.1 billion in property developments and RM300 million in industrial projects in FY25.
'Domestically, the group will continue accelerating catalytic township developments, eco-industrial parks and exploring land monetisation and strategic partnerships to unlock further value.
'Internationally, the group is gaining traction with the launch of ATLAS Melbourne, a high-impact development with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of A$886.7 million. In Vietnam, new residential phases within its successful EcoLakes development are scheduled for launch in FY25,' Choong added.
As of March 31, 2025, SP Setia's unbilled sales stood at RM3.8 billion, supported by 42 ongoing projects, a remaining land bank of 5,364 acres, and an effective remaining GDV of RM120.1 billion. Related
