“We need a turnover of at least RM1 billion (annual)… It took us about 6 or 7 years to achieve that. We need growth around RM1 billion to RM2 billion, no doubt we will grow…To reach RM1.4 billion (target launch in 2023) we need more than RM1 billion in revenue (From now on.) This means that our sales launches must exceed 1 billion[annually],” he said during Paramount’s first half 2023 earnings presentation.
For the first half of 2023 ended 30 June 2023, the Group reported a net profit of RM35.7 million compared to RM14.13 million in the same period last year. In addition, the company’s revenue increased from his RM370.48 million in the same period to his RM436.11 million. The improved performance was underpinned by improvements recorded by the real estate sector.

As of June 30, the group had 486.6 acres of undeveloped land,” the group said in a filing with Bursa.
