Mr. Chaiyan Chakarakool, CEO of Lalin Property Public Company Limited,a property development company under the concept of “Homes Built on Good Intentions,” commented on the first quarter results, stating that despite negative factors from the second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak among migrant workers, which began in late 2020 and continued into early 2021, Lalin has managed operations professionally, focusing on the Real Demand market and employing strategies to enhance competitiveness. The company prioritizes product quality, service quality, and cost control to deliver homes to customers at a reasonable price, enabling the company to compete even in a stagnant market. In this first quarter, the company achieved revenue recognition from sales of 1.524 billion baht, a growth of 21.5% compared to the same period last year, which is considered growth contrary to the contracting industry situation. Additionally, the company has maintained its ability to manage costs effectively, keeping its gross profit margin above the industry average at 39.1%. The efficiency of sales and marketing expense management has improved, with increased use of E-Marketing, resulting in a reduction of sales expenses as a percentage of sales from 6% in the same period last year to 4.5% in the current quarter, leading to a net profit of 320 million baht, an increase of 29.4%.
In terms of financial risk management, the company has implemented strict risk management practices, utilizing a diverse range of funding sources, both short-term and long-term, and maintaining an unused credit line of over 2.5 billion baht. The company has a strong financial position, even as it continues to invest in new projects over the past 5-6 years, with a debt-to-equity ratio (D/E Ratio) at the end of the first quarter of only 0.64, significantly lower than the market average of around 1.5. For its business expansion plan this year, the company aims to launch 10-12 new projects with a total value of approximately 6,000-7,000 million baht, part of which will replace existing projects that will gradually close. Earlier this year, the company has already launched 5 new projects with a total value of approximately 3,550 million baht and is preparing to launch an additional 2 projects, bringing the total project value to around 4,600 million baht. The company is proceeding with caution in its business expansion, gradually launching projects to assess market response and closely monitoring the situation of the third wave of COVID-19 to implement strategies suitable for the circumstances.
