Remarks

  • FY24 revenue driven by contribution from property development, while packaging contribution remained resilient despite softer global demand
  • FY24 profit improved due to increased contribution from property division, driven by higher sales and steady construction progress. Packaging contribution also improved due to increased operating efficiency of its industrial packaging segments, after excluding the impact of goodwill impairment in previous year.
