below market’s as net profit of RM394m made up 99% and 82% of house (adjusted)
and consensus full-year estimates, respectively. 4QFY12 saw net profit growth
54% y-o-y backed by higher revenue recognition mainly from its property

FY2012 sales target by securing total property sales of RM4.23bn (+29% y-o-y).
For FY2013, the Group is targeting sales of RM5.5bn to be driven by the Group’s
existing projects and new launches. A gross final dividend of 9 sen was
recommended for the quarter.
