Ecofirst Consolidated Bhd (KL) reported a remarkable increase in net profit for the fourth quarter, more than doubling from the same period last year, thanks to a robust sales conversion rate for its KL-48 project in Chan Sow Lin, Kuala Lumpur.
Key Takeaways:
Stellar 4Q Performance: Net profit for the three months ended May 31, 2024 (4QFY2024), surged to RM41.51 million, up from RM17 million a year ago. Revenue jumped nearly fivefold to RM87.86 million from RM17.84 million.
KL-48 Project Success: The KL-48 project achieved a sales conversion rate of over 80%, with site work progress at over 22% as of May 31, 2024. The project, valued at approximately RM1 billion, is strategically located and offers attractive pricing and features.
Future Prospects: Ecofirst is focused on boosting KL-48 property sales and scouting for development-ready land to enhance future performance. The company is also exploring joint ventures and rejuvenating abandoned projects.
Annual Performance: For the full financial year, Ecofirst’s net profit declined by 12% to RM12.64 million, mainly due to a provision for the writedown of an asset worth RM15.18 million amid unfavorable market conditions and higher administrative expenses. However, revenue soared by 427% to RM165.79 million, driven by contributions from the KL-48 project.
Ecofirst’s strategic focus on the KL-48 project and exploration of new opportunities position it well for future growth, despite some challenges in the broader market.
