Matrix Concepts FY25 sales up 10.4%
The company said this achievement was driven by robust market demand and increased new launches across its diversified development portfolio.
'In FY25, new property sales substantially exceeded the sales target of RM1.3bil, propelled by strong performance across its core township developments Sendayan Developments and Bandar Seri Impian, alongside its Klang Valley high-rise project, Levia Residences.
'The sales also notably included maiden industrial land sales from the highly anticipated Malaysia Vision Valley City (MVV City).'
Sendayan Developments, its flagship township, recorded RM1.04bil in sales, marking a 3.5% increase from RM1.01bil previously, as demand for its affordable-premium properties remained a mainstay.
Meanwhile, sales from Bandar Seri Impian rose 36.2% to RM71.9mil from RM52.8mil previously, while Klang Valley sales expanded 7.8% to RM151.2mil, propelled by Levia Residences.
Concurrently, the industrial segment recorded sales rising 134.2% to RM112.4mil compared to RM48mil previously, with RM90.9mil contributed by industrial land sales in MVV City.
'Of these launches, Sendayan Developments comprised 76.3% of new offerings, with the remaining 23.7% coming from Bandar Seri Impian, Levia Residences – Phase 2, and other developments.
'The collective take-up rate for FY25 launches stood at 73% as at March 31, 2025, reflecting robust buyer confidence,' said the company.
Group revenue for FY25 amounted to RM1.19bil, 11.2% lower from RM1.34bil previously, with the variance primarily due to the timing of launches and revenue recognition for properties sold in Sendayan Developments and Bandar Seri Impian.
This was partially mitigated by higher revenue from the Klang Valley, rising 182% to RM41mil from RM14.6mil previously.
The group's unbilled sales totalled RM1.46bil as at March 31, 2025, providing significant earnings visibility for the next 15 to 18 months.
In the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025 (4Q25), the group recorded a dip of 13.6% in revenue to RM305.2mil from RM353.1mil previously due to delayed sales conversion, with deferred revenue recognition expected to normalise in the next three to six months.
The group's 4Q25 revenue performance was partially mitigated by strong recognition of RM18.7mil from its second high-rise development, Levia Residence in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.
Matrix Concepts chairman Datuk Mohamad Haslah Mohamad Amin said: 'Matrix Concepts' FY25 performance definitively demonstrates the efficacy of our strategy, affirming our capability to consistently deliver value and enhance shareholder returns through sustained operational performance and growth.'
Looking ahead, Matrix Concepts said FY26 is positioned for transformative growth, supported by a launch target of RM1.6bil in gross development value (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 2,382 acres with a projected GDV of RM15bil, the MVV City development is poised to provide a clear earnings trajectory in the near term and reinforce our long-term confidence.'
The group also declared a fourth-quarter interim dividend of 1.35 sen per share in respect of FY25, representing 60.8% of 4Q25 profit after tax, with the dividend ex-date of June 20, 2025, to be paid on July 10, 2025.

Sabah approves nearly RM1.2bil in additional allocation to address water and road issues
KOTA KINABALU: A whopping RM1,186,923,403 in additional allocation has been approved by the Sabah Legislative Assembly, with the bulk of the funds to be channelled towards addressing long-standing issues related to water supply and road infrastructure. Tabling the 2025 Supplementary Supply Bill, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said the additional funding was essential to ensure the smooth operation of the government's administration through to the end of the year. The approved amount will support 53 expenditure heads, spanning key sectors including infrastructure, welfare, education and public services. Masidi said a significant portion, RM523.5mil, has been earmarked specifically for tackling water and road problems that continue to plague various districts across Sabah. These, he stressed, were issues repeatedly raised by the public and often politicised. He explained that the RM1.19bil would be used across six core categories, including RM600mil for contributions to statutory funds, RM204mil for administrative expenses, RM195mil for operational costs, RM84milfor domestic grants, RM54.4mil for investments and RM50.7mil for special provisions. Of the statutory contributions, RM250mil is to be added to the State Development Fund to reduce the development account deficit, while RM150mil is to be added to the Road and Bridge Maintenance Trust Fund for urgent maintenance work statewide. Another RM200mil has been allocated under the State Government Special Trust Fund, supporting community-focused initiatives such as the People's Touch Programme (Syukur) and student assistance schemes like Budi, Sentosa, Subfly and Sukses. He added that these funds would also support water and utility projects. Masidi also highlighted the RM185.5mil allocated under General Treasury Services, which included RM54.4mil for equity investments, RM89.1mil for infrastructure upgrades such as water treatment plant improvements and pipe installations and RM30mil in domestic grants to Kota Kinabalu City Hall for marine waste clean-up and NGO support. Additional provisions were also made for various ministries, including RM147.6mil for the Public Works Ministry, RM94.4mil for the Chief Minister's Department and RM55.7mil for the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Industry. The state's Community Development and People's Wellbeing Ministry was allocated RM16.2mil, including RM4.5mil for the provision of 100 haemodialysis machines and RM11.1mil for disaster relief, assistance to vulnerable groups, and special needs children's programmes. Masidi stressed that every ringgit spent must bring real returns, whether through job creation, infrastructure improvements or better public services. 'This is the people's money. It must be used wisely and bring meaningful impact to their lives,' he said. While the bulk of the debate centred on the RM1.19bil operational provision, the State Assembly also approved an additional RM416.5mil under the 2025 Development Estimates. This separate allocation will finance 83 development projects across ten ministries, bringing the total supplementary budget to RM1.6bil. The development funds include RM254.9mil for the Public Works Ministry, RM82.5mil for rural development programmes, and RM38.5mil for special projects under the Chief Minister's Department. Masidi also reiterated the government's commitment to addressing infrastructure gaps and uplifting the people's quality of life, especially in rural and underserved areas. 'Our focus remains on delivering real solutions to the rakyat's most pressing needs such as clean water, reliable roads, education, and access to basic services,' he said.

KNM to convene creditors' meeting to finalise RM1.19bil debt settlement plan
KUALA LUMPUR: KNM Group Bhd is calling for a court-convened creditors' meeting to present its RM1.19bil proposed Scheme of Arrangement (SoA). In a statement, KNM said the SoA marks a key step in the group's financial recovery efforts, aiming to provide a fair and sustainable debt settlement solution for all stakeholders. 'The SoA, developed in close consultation with the company's major creditors, proposes full recovery of the compromised debt amounting to RM1.19bil for the combined group, with creditors agreeing to waive accumulated interest and penalties totaling RM182mil as of the cut-off date, June 30, 2023,' KNM said. Under the terms of the proposal, creditors will receive 100% recovery of principal, reflecting a strong and responsible financial restructuring effort, as well as settlement through the issuance of a five-year zero-coupon redeemable unsecured loan stock (RULS) totalling RM204mil. Additionally, KNM said repayment of the RULS will be made via a combination of proceeds from any funds released from the escrow account tied to the recent Borsig sale to NGK Insulators Ltd, as well as proceeds from the sale of three assets - Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the FBM Hudson facility. 'To strengthen KNM's ability to resume and grow its core operations, creditors have also agreed to allow the company to retain RM100mil in upfront cash proceeds from the Borsig sale. These funds will be utilised as working capital to revitalise and invest in KNM's fabrication operations in Malaysia,' it said. To accelerate the repayment, KNM will use any excess funds—beyond the RM100mil initial cash injection and six months' working capital—to redeem outstanding RULS on a rolling basis.
