KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 15): Eco World Development Group Bhd said fourth quarter net profit rose 15% to RM33.71 million from RM29.35 million a year earlier on higher revenue.
In a statement to Bursa Malaysia today, property developer Eco World Development said revenue climbed to RM899.02 million in the fourth quarter ended Oct 31, 2017 (4QFY17) from RM740.99 million.
"The projects which contributed to revenue and gross profit in 4QFY17 include Eco Majestic, Eco Sanctuary and Eco Sky in the Klang Valley, Eco Botanic, Eco Spring, Eco Summer, Eco Business Park 1, Eco Tropics and Eco Business Park III in Iskandar Malaysia as well as Eco Meadows and Eco Terraces in Penang.
"The higher revenue in 4QFY17 compared to 4QFY16 is due to a higher percentage and relatively more advanced stage of completion achieved by the above projects in the current as compared to preceding year quarter," Eco World Development said.
