KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 ― UOA Development Bhd’s net profit fell by 41.6 per cent, year-on-year, to RM33.81 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, due mainly to lower profit margins.

Revenue, however, grew 11.2 per cent to RM171.99 million from a year earlier, the property developer said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.

The revenue and profit were mainly derived from the progressive recognition of the group’s ongoing projects ― United Point Residence, Sentul Point Suite Apartments, and South Link Lifestyle Apartments ― and sale of completed units at Desa Green Serviced Apartments.

UOA said the group's total unbilled sales as at March 31 amounted to about RM1.64 billion.
