PETALING JAYA: Sunway Bhd
reported an all-time high revenue of RM7.88bil in its financial year ended Dec 31, 2024 (FY24), representing a 28.5% increase from the previous financial year.
Net profit in FY24 rose to RM1.15bil from RM737.87mil in the previous corresponding period.
In a statement, Sunway said the robust financial performance was bolstered by stronger operating performance across all business segments.
“For the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2024 (4Q24), Sunway’s revenue increased 53.1% to RM2.85bil, while net profit rose to RM335.47mil from RM266mil in the previous corresponding period.”
Sunway said the property development segment’s revenue increased 63.4% to RM809.6mil in 4Q24, compared to RM495.5mil in 4Q423.
“The property development segment’s strong performance was driven by higher sales and progress billings from on-going local development projects, and fair value gain from revaluation of a property.”
Sunway said the healthcare segment performed well in the quarter under review, anchored on strong operational performance from Sunway Medical Centre Sunway City, SMC Velocity and SMC Penang.
Meanwhile, the construction segment doubled its revenue to RM1bil in 4Q24 from RM532.8mil in 4Q23.
“The significant increase in the construction segment’s contribution was primarily driven by the accelerated progress of data-centre projects.
“The construction segment achieved an order book replenishment of RM4.2bil in 2024, within its target range of RM4bil to RM5bil.
“For the year ahead, the construction segment has set a target order book replenishment of RM4.5bil to RM6bil.”
