Matrix Concepts beats FY25 sales target, eyes RM1.6bil launches in FY26

KUALA LUMPUR: Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd recorded a 10.4 per cent increase in new property sales to RM1.38 billion for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 (FY25) from RM1.25 billion a year earlier.
The growth was driven by strong market demand and an increase in new launches across its diverse development portfolio.
The new property sales significantly surpassed the the property developer's sales target of RM1.3 billion, bolstered by strong performances from its projects.
This includes its core township developments, Sendayan Developments and Bandar Seri Impian, as well as the Klang Valley high-rise project, Levia Residences.
The sales also included the company's first industrial land sales from the highly anticipated Malaysia Vision Valley City (MVV City).
Taking advantage of favourable market conditions, Matrix Concepts launched projects with a total gross development value (GDV) of RM1.45 billion in FY25, a 9.8 per cent rise from RM1.32 billion last year.
The overall take-up rate for FY25 launches stood at 73 per cent as of March 31, 2025, indicating strong buyer confidence.
Datuk Mohamad Haslah Mohamad Amin said that surpassing the FY25 sales target reflects the enduring trust and confidence of homeowners across generations.
Datuk Mohamad Haslah Mohamad Amin said the FY25 surpassing our sales target for the year reflects the lasting trust of homeowners across generations.
He stated that for nearly three decades, the commitment to delivering premium-quality, trend-driven homes at accessible prices has driven strong take-up across Matrix Concepts' developments in Negri Sembilan, Johor and the Klang Valley.
"FY26 is positioned for transformative growth, supported by a launch target of RM1.6 billion in GDV of new projects.
"These upcoming launches include the first phase of the MVV City's industrial land, a key catalyst for our next growth phase.
"Spanning 964.1 hectares with a projected GDV of RM15 billion, the MVV City development is poised to provide a clear earnings trajectory in the near term and reinforce our long-term confidence," Mohamad Haslah added.
In FY25, the company's revenue declined 11.2 per cent to RM1.19 billion from RM1.34 billion previously due to the timing of launches and revenue recognition for properties sold in Sendayan Developments and Bandar Seri Impian.
Its net profit also fell 12 per cent to RM214.1 million from RM244.3 million previously.
Matrix Concepts' unbilled sales stood at RM1.46 billion as of March 2025, providing significant earnings visibility for the next 15 to 18 months.
The company declared a fourth quarter interim dividend of 1.35 sen per share that will be paid on July 10, 2025.
Mohamad Haslah said the company is expanding its footprint within the high-growth Klang Valley region, particularly Selangor.
He said the recent investments have established a robust platform for future developments in the Banting and Sepang areas.
"Beyond our core property development activities, we are strategically expanding into high-potential sectors such as hospitality, education and healthcare.
"These complementary ventures are designed to create diversified and recurring income streams, strengthening our resilience and enhancing long-term value creation," he added.

MACC to question 20 witnesses in highway probe

KUALA LUMPUR: About 20 witnesses will be called by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) next week as part of its ongoing probe into the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds meant for the construction of a highway in the Klang Valley. MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said this includes recalling witnesses who had previously given statements in order to gather further information on the fund, which is worth millions of ringgit. He said the commission aimed to complete the investigation paper within two months. "As of now, the investigation team is scrutinising various documents, including bank records that we must analyse, and recording statements from bank personnel to verify the contents of the bank statements," he told Buletin TV3 today. However, he said that there is currently no need to conduct a new search or recall the corporate figure with a "Tan Sri" title who has been linked to the case. MACC investigators had recorded the corporate figure's statement three times, working alongside a tactical team due to suspicions of weapon and asset possession related to the misappropriated funds. MACC has so far seized RM141 million worth of assets in Malaysia linked to the case and is currently tracking RM15 million in foreign assets.

Manufacturing: Sabah leads with RM7.3 billion investors

Published on: Saturday, June 21, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 21, 2025 By: Sisca Humphrey Text Size: Phoong said SMEs must shift towards becoming small and medium industries (SMIs) that produce export-ready goods. Kota Kinabalu: Sabah recorded RM7.3 billion in manufacturing investments in the first quarter this year, making it Malaysia's top destination for the sector. State Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe said Sabah also ranked third overall in total investments across all sectors, adding that the next step is to empower local SMEs to industrialise and compete globally. 'This is a positive sign that Sabah is gaining traction, but we cannot just rely on external investment. Our local businesses must participate in this growth and move beyond being just small,' he said, when officiating the SME Sabah Conference 2025, Friday. Phoong said SMEs must shift towards becoming small and medium industries (SMIs) that produce export-ready goods. 'We must create, not just consume. We need more products made in Sabah, exported from Sabah,' he said. To support this, he said the State Government has allocated RM15 million this year to help small businesses acquire machinery, adopt automation and scale up operations. Advertisement 'This budget is meant to support our smallest players, to help them upgrade and grow,' he said. He also noted that Sabah's export volume rose by 11 per cent up to May, indicating an increasingly stronger industrial base. 'This shows that when we build capacity, Sabah can move toward becoming an export-driven economy. We cannot depend on imports forever,' he said. The conference was officially recognised by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), which he said affirms the quality and technical relevance of the discussions held. 'To our engineers and technical experts, your knowledge is vital in strengthening Sabah's industrial ecosystem,' Phoong said. He announced the development of a 100-megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Lahad Datu, the largest in Southeast Asia. 'The project will help stabilise Sabah's power grid and meet the rising demands of an expanding industrial sector,' He also welcomed AirAsia's new Kota Kinabalu-Taipei-Fukuoka route, saying it would benefit both the tourism and investment sectors. 'It's not just about tourists. More direct connectivity means more investors and business travellers can easily access Sabah,' he added. However, he voiced concern over upcoming federal policies that could increase costs for SMEs, including the rationalisation of RON95 and diesel subsidies, SST expansion and the Sabah Labour Ordinance set to take effect July 1. 'We should not implement all these policies simultaneously. Each must be carefully reviewed to determine which should move forward, which should be postponed and which need to be re-evaluated,' he said. Phoong said he had raised these concerns during a national SME consultation chaired by Datuk Ewon Benedick and welcomed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's openness to policy reviews. He said Sabah's unemployment rate had dropped to 6.7 per cent in the first quarter, down from 8 per cent last year, and noted that companies such as ConocoPhillips have reaffirmed investment in the State. 'This tells us the economy is moving forward and investor confidence is returning,' he said. Phoong concluded on a light note, saying employers are now looking for the right people and so are voters. 'I've done my best and I'm ready to renew my contract,' he said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Hartanah Kenyalang Posts RM1.3 Million In Net Profit On Construction Gains

Hartanah Kenyalang Bhd reported a net profit of RM1.3 million for the second quarter ended April 30, 2025, on the back of RM30.1 million in total revenue, primarily driven by its building construction services segment. The segment contributed RM21.6 million, or 72% of total revenue, with major contributions from ongoing and completed projects such as the State Archive Project, Yayasan International Schools in Sibu and Kuching, and the Sekolah Daif projects in Tambay and Tebedu. While this marks the company's first interim financial report following its ACE Market listing, the group's revenue was 32.8% lower compared to the preceding quarter's RM44.8 million, largely due to the near-completion or handover of several key projects. For the six-month period, Hartanah Kenyalang posted RM74.9 million in revenue and RM3.2 million in net profit. Looking ahead, the group remains optimistic, citing positive momentum in Sarawak's construction industry as a key driver for future growth. Related
