For the first quarter ended Mar 31, 2021 (1QFY21), Haily and its subsidiaries (Group) recorded a revenue of RM43.30 million. This was mainly contributed from the Group’s construction of residential and non-residential buildings which accounted for RM43.21 million or 99.80% of the total revenue, while the balance of RM0.09 million was derived from its civil engineering construction works and rental of construction machinery and equipment.
Meanwhile, profit attributable to the owners of the Company stood at RM2.80 million for the said quarter.
The Board also declared an interim dividend of 1.68 sen per ordinary share, amounting to a total payout of RM2,995,787.76, in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2021 (“FY21”), on an entitlement date and payment date to be determined and announced after Haily’s listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Securities.

“In light of the uncertainties arising from COVID-19, the Group remains cautiously optimistic of its prospects and the outlook of the construction industry with the expected recovery by the end of the current financial year. Nevertheless, the Group has persevered thus far and the Group views that its financial results for FY21 will remain favourable,” See added.
