Market Opportunities Arise for "Eco-friendly and People-oriented Property"

 

The epidemic outbreak occurred around the first half of the year has brought a change to the supply side of the property market. The demand for home purchasing for home upgrade continues to rise and tends to gradually exceed the rigid demand for home purchasing. The Group has been focusing on segmented markets and targeting at purchasers looking for a home upgrade and multi-house ownership.

 

With "Eco-friendly and People-oriented Property" serving as our product development concept, we attach great importance to the health value that the internal and external living environment brings when selecting project sites, which help our products get increasing popularity in the market, and bring opportunities for the Group to further deepen the market.

During the Period under Review, revenue from recognised sales of property development of the Group amounted to RMB 884.7 million, representing an increase of 24.2% from RMB712.5 million for the same period of 2019. The increase in revenue recognised was primarily due to an increase in the aggregate gross floor area ("GFA") completed and delivered as a result of the Group's continuing expansion.

 

Increase Land Bank to Accelerated Geographic Deployment

 

During the Period, the Group actively participated in tenders, auctions or listing-for- sale: in March 2020, it once again obtained nine land parcels in Tengchong, Yunnan province, increasing developing areas by approximately 1.006 million sq.m. Located in the Qushi resort area in Tengchong, Yunnan province, where JY Gaoligong Town (景業高黎貢小鎮), a project of the Group for sale, was located, those land parcels have iconic landscapes and landforms and will be developed into projects under two different product lines.

 

As of 30 June 2020, JY Grandmark had property portfolio of a total of 32 property projects in Guangdong、Hainan、Yunnan, and Hunan, with an aggregate GFA of approximately 4,000,000 sq.m. , comprising completed properties available for sale or lease with an aggregate GFA of 230,000  sq.m , properties under development with an aggregate GFA of 750,000 sq.m. and properties held for future development with an aggregate GFA of 2,940,000 sq.m..

It is a new area under the Group's deployment in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

 

Diversified Business Strategies to Promote Healthy Development

 

During the Period, the Group's revenue from property management amounted to RMB7.7million, representing an increase of 37.5% as compared with RMB5.6 million in the corresponding period of 2019, mainly due to increase in total GFA of the properties under management.

During the Period, revenue from hotel operations of the Group amounted to RMB21.4 million, representing a period-on-period decline by 41.5% from RMB36.6 million in the corresponding period of 2019, which was primarily owe to the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19. As the restaurants reopened and travels started to resume, revenue from hotel operations has been demonstrating a healthy recovery since the second quarter.

 

Other than holding properties for development and sales, the Group also owns commercial properties for leasing purpose. During the Period, revenue from commercial property investment of the Group amounted to RMB11.0 million, representing an increase of 42.9% as compared with RMB7.7 million in the corresponding period of 2019. The increase was mainly due to increase in total GFA leased in the first half of 2020.


Sound Financial Position Gained Recognition in the Capital Market

In May 2020, the Company was included as a constituent of the MSCI China Small Cap Index by Morgan Stanley Capital International.

The recognition of the capital market provides stronger support for the development of the Group. Leveraging on the sound financial conditions and diversified funding channels, the Group still managed to achieve sustainable and high-quality development under the background of tightening funding in the industry.

 

Mr. Michael Chan, Chairman and Executive Director of JY Grandmark said, "In the first half of 2020, the national property market was affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, but as the epidemic got under control relatively quickly in Mainland China, the property market has shown a significant recovery trend, reflecting that the fundamentals of property market remain sound. Under such macro background, the Group operated well in the first half of the year. The Group actively ensured the quality and quantity of constructions and ensured the punctuality and effectiveness at the node for projects all over the country. It expanded sales channels and achieved our basic operating indicators. Among the nine property projects for sale, certain have, driven by market and as a result of effective transfer, recorded substantial increase in results.

 

Real estate development has come to the stock building age, and urban renewal becomes the blue ocean for real estate enterprises to actively deploy, and a core business growth point of the Group. At present, the Group is actively studying the possibility of a number of urban renewal projects, such as the core areas of Guangzhou and Foshan. The overall planning area is approximately 4 million sq.m., which is planned to be transferred in the next three years and will bring rapid growth to the land reserve and results for the Group.
