Jati Tinggi Group Berhad Q1-2024 Summary

In the quarter ending February 29, 2024, the Group’s revenue decrease to RM29.01 million, down from RM35.99 million in the preceding quarter ended November 30, 2024. The revenue decline aligns with the construction activities and progress of the Group’s ongoing projects as below:

• The Danga Bay Project (double circuit underground cable installation from Danga Bay substation to Perling substation, Johor) contributed RM0.86 million in the current quarter, down from RM4.94 million in the preceding quarter.
• The installation, testing, and commissioning of 33kV underground cables and accessories from Keteri South substation to Chuping Valley Industrial Area (CVIA) substation, Perlis, generated RM1.82 million in the current quarter, compared to RM2.24 million in the preceding quarter.

But, despite the revenue drop, the Group registered higher profit before taxation (RM8.18 million) and profit after taxation (RM7.24 million) for the first quarter ended 29 February 2024, which represent 24.94% net profit margin, primarily due to the gain of RM 7.24 million disposal of investment property.
