For 2024, our business plan continues to build on 2023, with a clearer vision for diversifying investments nationwide in a multiverse format, allowing for various project developments to meet all forms of demand, along with comprehensive services under the concept of 'Origin Infinity.' This aims to create continuous growth and care for consumers, developing Origin Property into a Well-Being Lifetime Company through three main drivers: 1. Expanding diverse products and services nationwide (Nationwide serve), 2. Expanding new business universes for continuous growth (Multiverse Expansion) focused on improving quality of life (Better Lifetime), building on the Origin Multiverse plan by expanding beyond residential projects for ongoing growth, and 3. Social care (Social Attention) to contribute to society and the environment in various dimensions to create a better society.
For the accumulated performance in the first nine months of 2023, the group generated total presales of approximately 36.937 billion baht, growing about 26% from the same period last year, with sales from condominium projects accounting for about 77% and sales from housing projects about 23%. The group had a backlog of approximately 47.024 billion baht at the end of Q3 2023, including amounts from both joint venture projects and projects under joint ventures expected to be recognized in 2023, totaling about 10.699 billion baht. Including the transfer of ownership that has already occurred in the first nine months of 2023, this results in the group having 88% of the target transfer of ownership for 2023, which is set at 30 billion baht. Therefore, the company is confident that its performance in 2023 will meet the targets. Thus, the company believes that the ORI bonds being offered this time represent an attractive investment opportunity and expects a positive response from investors as in previous offerings.
