Mr. Uten Lohachitpitaks, the Group CEO of Pruksa Holding Plc, unveiled the Q2 2023 performance results, stating that Pruksa Holding, or PSH, achieved a total revenue of 7,107 million Baht, an increase of 32%. This growth was driven by increased sales in both the real estate and healthcare businesses. The net profit reached 1,038 million Baht; a 141% growth compared to Q2 2022. Furthermore, in the first half of the year, Pruksa Holding recorded a net profit of 1,690 million Baht and a total revenue of 13,665 million Baht. Approximately 700 million Baht of this revenue came from the successful stock swapping of Inno Precast Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of PSH, to invest in the shares of General Engineering Public Company Limited (GEL). This strategic move presents an excellent business opportunity for generating income and strong growth for both companies. Excluding stock swapping, the core business of the group maintained a net profit growth of over 10% in the first half of 2023 compared to 2022. This reflects the group's current success and positive market reception. Both the real estate and healthcare sectors experienced significant growth, also transfers and high order backlogs for low carbon precast concrete panels of Inno Precast exceeded 2,200 million Baht, surpassing the original target set at 1,000 million Baht at the beginning of the year. This achievement further solidifies Pruksa Holding's position as the Number 1 low carbon precast concrete producer in Thailand.
In the real estate business, there were sales totaling 4,650 million Baht, a 4% growth from the previous quarter. Transfers amounted to 5,650 million Baht, representing an 11% growth from the second quarter of the year 2022. These figures were generated from the six projects including horizontal product group and condominium transfers. The momentum continued from the beginning of the year, with sales reaching 9,116 million Baht and transfers totaling 11,680 million Baht in the first half of the year. Six consecutive projects were launched, contributing to this performance, with a combined value of 4,848 million Baht. Notably, the "Chapter One All Ramintra" project achieved sales of over 50% and received positive responses from both Thai and foreign customers. Additionally, the "Plum Condo New West" project in Bang Yai area garnered bookings of up to 580 million Baht during the past pre-sales event. These projects benefited from strategic locations, including proximity to the Central Westgate shopping center and being just 400 meters away from the Purple Line's Bang Yai Intersection station. Affordable pricing started at 1.59 million Baht.
