With the substantial launches in the second quarter onwards, we will strive and work towards achieving our sales target of RM5.65 billion,” he told reporters after the company’s annual general meeting here today.
Khor said the sales target of RM5.65 billion for the 2019 financial year (FY19) was a 10 per cent increase over FY18.
“Sales will come from a combination of new launches at our existing projects as well as from completed inventories.
“As for new launches, SP Setia targets 89 per cent of the sales to come from local projects while the remaining 11 per cent will comprise international sales,” he added.
In the Klang Valley, the planned major launches are in Setia Alam, Bandar Kinrara, Alam Impian, Setia Alamsari, Temasya Glenmarie, Setia Tropicale, Setia Ecohill 2, KL Eco City and Setia Sky Seputeh Tower B.

SP Setia achieved sales of RM718 million in Q1 2019 which were largely from the central region (RM475 million), southern and northern regions (RM202 million), while international projects only contributed RM40 million.
