Summary:
-
Group Revenue: S$462.9 million (down 8% from S$500.4m in FY2024), due to lower construction activity from completed projects and reduced Malaysia property sales; partially offset by a sharp jump in restoration and interior fit-out revenue (+85% to S$105.3m).

Order Book: S$1.09 billion as of 30 June 2025—robust pipeline in construction and fit-out.
Segment Highlights:
-
Restoration & interior fit-out: S$105.3m revenue (+85%), reflecting project wins/completions and future business from newly spun-off fit-out unit.
-
Construction: S$342.1m (down 19%), due to completion and lower progress billing of big jobs.
-
Property: S$14.4m (down 35%), on fewer Malaysia home sales.
